Nan Zhiyan was stunned, then overjoyed, especially overjoyed. If it really was like that, that would be wonderful! He had thought that his mother... his mother didn't like him. If his mother liked him, that would be wonderful.
"Thank you, Mother. I will study hard and make you proud."
Mo Yan smiled and pinched his little cheek. "That won't do. Mother hopes you're studying for your own sake, not for Mother's sake."
Nan Zhiyan: "???"
"My son knows, my son likes to read."
Nan Zhiyan likes it, he really likes it. Reading allows him to learn a lot of interesting things, and he really enjoys it.
"Okay, but you can't write too much every day, or your fingers won't be able to take it."
"Mmm-hmm."
For the next few days, Mo Yan took care of Nan Zhiyan until he recovered, and only then did she feel at ease to rest.
When Nan Chen found out, he felt that Mo Yan was just pretending. Why was she pretending to be virtuous at a time like this?
Mo Yan wasn't just taking care of Nan Zhiyan; she was also tidying up her own courtyard and preparing her dowry.
The original owner had a lot of dowry, but it hadn't been properly taken care of. Now's a good opportunity to clean it up.
Besides taking care of her son every day, she also had to meet with the steward and reorganize the household. Mo Yan wasn't stupid; she never thought of handing over power, but she had stopped caring about Nan Chen's concubines.
Two months passed in this way, and Nan Chen noticed that Mo Yan had become a different person. When he went to her place, Mo Yan would have someone prepare food for him, but she was no longer as enthusiastic as before.
Just like now, when the two of them are having a meal together, the food on the table is no longer all his favorites; most of it is what Mo Yan likes, and Nan Zhiyan is also there.
Nan Zhiyan ate her food obediently by herself and even served food to Mo Yan.
When did the mother and son become so close? Mo Yan didn't seem to care when he came, whose yard he went to, or what he did outside. She didn't even try to start a conversation.
Nan Zhiyan ate very well, feeding herself without being fed. When she was full, she told Mo Yan, "Mommy is full."
"Yes, I'm full. Let's have some water and go out to play."
"Mmm." Nan Zhiyan obediently drank the water before going out to play.
The two fell silent, the only sounds being the eating. Nan Chen felt a little uncomfortable, thinking that things shouldn't have been like this before.
"What has the Princess been doing lately?"
Nan Chen had to find topics to talk about on his own.
"Of course, we should take good care of the backyard. Why did Your Highness suddenly ask this?"
Nan Chen: "..."
Mo Yan never considered divorce. Why would she want a divorce? She wanted Zhiyan to have everything. It wouldn't be easy for a princess to divorce, and it would ruin the future of her two children. She wanted her son to have everything so she could start living her old age.
Nan Chen choked... He hadn't expected that even though he had started trying to find topics to talk about, Mo Yan was still like this.
"Is the Princess Consort angry with me?" Nan Chen asked through gritted teeth. He needed to find out what was wrong with Mo Yan. She used to be incredibly attentive, but now...
"Your Highness is joking. You are a prince, my heaven and earth. How could I possibly be angry?" It's just that sometimes I feel like splitting the sky in two.
Nan Chen choked again...
"Are you still angry that Youyou is pregnant? You need to be more sensible. I am a prince, and I can't have only one wife."
Nan Chen felt that he had done a pretty good job explaining things to this extent.
Mo Yan put down her chopsticks and looked at him coldly. "Your Highness, you are joking. As the Princess Consort, I naturally have to be magnanimous and take good care of Your Highness's harem. I am not angry."
Your Highness will have many more women in the future, including concubines, but none of them can surpass me. I don't need to bother with them.
As for Li Youyou's pregnancy, she is a concubine, and it is only right that she bear children for Your Highness. Our Prince's mansion only has one son, which is indeed a bit lonely. Having more children would be good.
Nan Chen: "..."
Nan Chen looked at the gentle and magnanimous Mo Yan at this moment, and was shocked as if he had seen a ghost.
Is this something Mo Yan would actually say?
"You...are you possessed by a ghost? Otherwise, how could you say such a thing?"
Mo Yan's lips twitched. "Your Highness, don't talk nonsense."
I simply don't love you that much.
"To love someone is to possess them entirely, sharing nothing with anyone else. But you are a prince, and I've seen through your fickle nature. From now on, I will be a virtuous and generous princess. Isn't this what you've always wanted? Why do you think it's outrageous now?"
Nan Chen: "..."
He didn't know, but he felt that Mo Yan shouldn't be like this, shouldn't be so indifferent.
"Since you know this, you should understand me..." Nan Chen said dryly at the end.
"I understand, Your Highness. Focus on your duties and complete the tasks Father has entrusted to you. Don't fixate on this tiny backyard; look further ahead." Go fight for it! My son is going to be Emperor!
Nan Chen: "..."
Suddenly I didn't know what to say, and I felt like nothing was right.
"Your Highness, rest assured, as long as your women don't do anything reckless, I won't lay a hand on them, let alone harm the children."
Your Highness, you should leave now. Don't spoil my meal.
Nan Chen: "..."
Nan Chen's face darkened again. What did this mean? Did she think he was annoying?
When exactly did he start to be disliked like this? Why doesn't he seem to notice at all?
"You dislike me that much now!"
Mo Yan laughed. What was this person doing? "No, I'm telling you not to be obsessed with petty love and affection, but to have a greater love for your country and its people. You are a prince, and you should be concerned about your country and its people."
