Unfortunately, Chen Yao turned her head and didn't see it. There was also some cruelty in the gloom.
However, Zhang Mian quickly concealed his feelings and coaxed her softly, "Yaoyao, you know, my family has been a single-line family for three generations, and now my mother is bedridden. Her greatest wish is to hold her grandson in her arms before she passes away."
"It's my fault. My mind was really blank at the time and I didn't think about it that much."
"I regretted it right after I said it. I wanted to come in and explain to you, but I was afraid you wouldn't want me to see you in such a mess."
"You don't know how much pain I felt when I heard you crying. I wish I could have suffered this pain in your place."
"Yaoyao, believe me, if I were not infertile, I would really want this child to be my next life, instead of letting you struggle in this alone."
"Yaoyao, can you please pay attention to me? I really know I was wrong. I promise I won't do it again."
Today, Chen Yao ignored him no matter how much he talked.
But later on, he would say such things every day, and do many things himself. Zhang Mian would take care of the children and her personally without any disgust.
After a month, she finally softened her heart.
On the day of the baby's full moon, Zhang Mian invited his classmates to a banquet. Chen Yao was puzzled, "Husband, didn't you say that the villagers in the village helped you a lot? Why don't you invite them as well?"
Zhang Mian acted as if he was doing this for her. "Country people are used to being careless. They have good intentions, but many of their behaviors are hard for even me to tolerate, let alone you who have been treated like a precious gem since childhood."
"The country woman is gossiping again. I'm afraid you'll get upset."
"It's okay. I've already sent someone to give them wedding candy. I'll also give each of the villagers who helped me a tael of silver. That's already great."
"Okay." Chen Yao was just asking. She didn't want to get along with the country people at all.
She buried her head in Zhang Mian's arms with a touching look on her face, "Husband, thank you for thinking so much about me."
Zhang Mian smelled the scent on her head and felt nauseous.
But his hand patted her back gently, and his words were even gentler, "I am your husband, and I should do anything for you. Besides, you have suffered by marrying me."
"Don't worry, Yaoyao. I will definitely make sure you and your child have a good life in the future."
"Okay, I believe you."
The Marquis' Mansion also received the invitation, but only sent a butler to deliver the gifts.
Even his uncle Shen Chen didn't show up.
On Zhang Mian's side, everyone looked a little strange because of the people who came to the Marquis' Mansion to attend the full moon banquet.
"Didn't you say he married the eldest daughter of the Marquis's family? Apparently, this eldest daughter isn't favored."
"Perhaps it's not that the eldest daughter is unfavored, but the gap is too big, so the Marquis' Mansion doesn't recognize this son-in-law?"
"But from the looks of it, why does it seem like they've given up on this eldest daughter as well?"
"Who knows? I heard that this eldest daughter has a brother, so why doesn't he seem to be here?"
…
In the Marquis' Mansion, Shen Liao looked at the imperial physician who had finished checking Shen Chen's pulse and asked, "Imperial Physician, how is my son?"
If this wasn't really his own child, Shen Liao wouldn't want to be here at all.
Chen Chen fainted on the woman's bed because he was too naughty last night.
He felt ashamed to even say it out loud for this reason.
The imperial physician looked at Shen Liao with an embarrassed expression. Shen Liao said directly: "No matter what the situation is, please tell me directly. The Marquis' Mansion will definitely not blame you."
"My Lord," the imperial physician bowed, "The eldest son's health is seriously depleted. If he doesn't take care of himself, his lifespan will be affected. Moreover..."
After a pause, he looked up and glanced at Shen Liao's face, "Besides, given the young master's health, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to have children."
"Difficulty in having offspring...what does that mean?"
"I wonder if there was a child born in your backyard before this. If there was, it must be the only child you will have in your life."
a bolt from the blue!
Shen Chen just woke up and heard these words.
He looked at the imperial physician in disbelief, rolled over and fell off the bed, and the servants hurried to help him.
"uncle!"
He shook off the hands of others, walked up to the imperial physician, and grabbed his arm, "Imperial physician, what did you say? You said I..." There will be no children in the future?
How is this possible?
He is so...
He couldn't accept the news. He knew too well what it meant to have no offspring in a big family.
This means that he lost his inheritance rights.
The imperial physician lowered his head and did not answer him, his meaning was already very clear.
He sat down dejectedly. Shen Liao glanced at him without saying a word, then turned around and sent the imperial physician out.
Without any instructions, he sent the imperial physician away.
This confused the imperial physician. For such a big matter, shouldn't the Marquis explain a few words?
For example, confidentiality?
Three months later, Lan Yuerong was diagnosed with pregnancy.
Chen Chen was overjoyed and felt that God would not kill him.
During the months when Lan Yuerong was pregnant, he was in high spirits, as if he had turned back into the gentle and noble eldest son of the Marquisate.
Unfortunately, this pride did not last long. Lan Yuerong gave birth to a healthy girl after ten months of pregnancy. Both mother and daughter were safe.
He refused to accept it and fainted again.
Two years later, the old emperor passed away.
When the imperial power changes, naturally some people want to take risks.
At that time, Shen Cong was in seclusion on the farm, and Shen Liao and Shen Zhang were by the side of the new emperor. Shen Zhang was born with supernatural powers and happened to save the new emperor's life by accident.
When the new emperor ascended the throne, Shen Liao became the hereditary Duke of Dingguo, and Shen Zhang was granted the title of Earl of Loyalty and Bravery, a title that was lowered after three generations.
Just when everyone thought that the glory of the Shen family had come to an end, Shen Cong handed over grain seeds with extremely high yields to the new emperor.
