Chapter 52: The Handsome Scholar's Childhood Sweetheart Next Door



Wen Lanzhu made a big fuss and broke off completely with the third prince.

The wedding did not take place and she was sent back to the Marquis of Zhenguo's Mansion.

Miss Lanzhu, who was once pampered by everyone, has now become a joke!

The strategy system didn't expect Wen Lanzhu's ability to withstand pressure was so poor, but it didn't want to lose this easy-to-control host.

When Wen Lanzhu went crazy again, the system calmly turned on the electric shock mode. After the people were unable to move, it said that there was another way to save the failed mission.

"Marry the hero!"

The male protagonist devoted himself to his official duties and was not granted marriage by the emperor until he was in his thirties. Although the couple's relationship was as dull as water after marriage, they lived like this for the rest of their lives.

As long as Wen Lanzhu can also be granted marriage, the mission will not be considered a failure.

·

Zhizhi's belly is already very big.

Her temper also gradually worsened, especially when she was with Shen Jing, she was often in a bad mood.

Shen Jingzhi let her beat and scold him, and never talked back.

If it weren't for Zhizhi, Shen Jingzhi never knew pregnancy could be so difficult.

He watched with his own eyes as the court doctor examined Zhizhi's pulse, and the court doctor said,

"All three fetal heart rates are stable. Madam is in good health and will not suffer during childbirth."

Three!?

A hint of surprise flashed across Shen Jingzhi's face, but it was followed by deep worry. Pregnancy for a woman is already a life-threatening situation, not to mention that Zhizhi was pregnant with three children. He had to pester the court doctor almost every day to ask about the method of maintaining pregnancy.

Or maybe Zhizhi was annoyed and asked him to stay away from her.

Only then did Shen Jingzhi calm down.

In a blink of an eye, Shen Jingzhi had been an official in the court for nearly a year.

Zhizhi's due date is approaching.

Shen Jingzhi can be said to be on high alert.

No one in the court knew the inside story of the Shen Mansion yet. They just thought that Shen Jingzhi's tit-for-tat confrontation with them had irritated his brain, so he returned home to rest.

The emperor knew something.

So when he heard that the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion proposed a marriage with Shen Jingzhi, his eyes were quite amused.

"Are you saying, my dear, that you want to marry the woman who almost married my son to Shen Jingzhi, the Minister of Works?"

In the eyes of others, Shen Jingzhi was a child from a poor family, and no matter how high his promotion was, it would only be the fifth or sixth rank at best.

It’s not that he is not good enough, but it has always been like this. It’s not easy to get into the officialdom.

As a result, they were slapped in the face by their emperor himself.

He skipped the step of going to the Hanlin Academy where all the Jinshi had to go, and was directly assigned to the Ministry of Works.

Within a year, he became the Minister of Works.

At first they all thought the emperor was crazy, but later they found that Shen Jingzhi had talent and was fully capable of doing the job or even better.

Now, the officials who had been discussing the matter privately gradually came to their senses.

Oh, it turns out that Shen Jingzhi is your Majesty's man.

A year ago, the Zhenguo Marquisate had offended the Third Prince, and thus the Emperor. Now, knowing that Shen Jingzhi was the Emperor's man, they still begged the Emperor to grant them a marriage, precisely to demonstrate that they were not involved in factional struggles or the struggle for the throne, and were solely devoted to the Emperor!

A thin layer of sweat appeared on the forehead of the Marquis of Zhenguo. He lowered his head and whispered,

"Lanzhu has been imprisoned by us for a year. Her temper has improved and she will definitely not cause any more trouble."

"I remember there was a rumor about your daughter that 'whoever gets this girl will get the world'?" The emperor seemed to have finally remembered it and asked curiously.

The Marquis of Zhenguo turned pale with fright.

The emperor smiled and said,

"Don't worry, my dear. I don't care about rumors. However, this matter still needs to be handled by the person involved. Jingzhi is in the palace today. I will call him over for you."

The emperor and Shen Jingzhi had a good relationship and often joked with each other.

Now, he really wanted to see Shen Jingzhi's excitement.

In a playful mood, he said:

"It's pointless to invite him alone. Call everyone from your mansion as well."

After that, the emperor informed the third prince and his newly married princess.

It looked lively, but the emperor didn't care whether it was his own child or not.

·

The news reached the Shen Mansion.

Zhizhi was pushing away Shen Jingzhi, who was leaning on her shoulder and crying, in annoyance.

"Have you cried enough?"

He ignored the midwife's advice that men were not allowed in the delivery room and just barged in.

Shen Jingzhi raised his head, it was not right to say that he was crying, the red corners of his eyes condensed into tears, but in the end he did not fall.

"Zhizhi, let's not have the baby. I'm going to take medicine tonight."

Zhizhi didn’t expect Shen Jingzhi to have such awareness.

After he said that, he turned around and looked at Zaizai.

Zhizhi gave birth to a daughter and two sons, a sister and two brothers.

The elder sister was older and stronger than her two younger brothers, and her crying was resounding. Shen Jingzhi liked her very much at first sight.

He smiled and ignored his brothers on both sides, holding up his sister with great pride.

"Huanyi looks like you, with bright eyes. She will definitely be the young lady that no one in the capital can match."

The name Shen Huanyi was chosen by Shen Jingzhi.

Zhizhi looked at the sleeping baby speechlessly, not wanting Shen Jingzhi to be so good at flattering.

While the two were talking, a servant came to inform the emperor to call Shen Jingzhi into the palace.

“Your Majesty has also invited the Marquis of Zhenguo and the Third Prince and others into the palace.” The eunuch secretly informed Shen Jingzhi.

By the time he changed his clothes and entered the palace, a group of people were already there.

The emperor ignored the group of people who were trembling with fear and directly thundered,

"I heard your wife gave birth to triplets, which is rare. Have you named the children yet?"

Shen Jingzhi confessed truthfully,

"My daughter has been married, but my two sons haven't."

The emperor was very excited and wrote a calligraphy on the spot.

Everyone in the Marquis Zhenguo Mansion was already stunned!

Not only did you, Shen Jingzhi, get married, you even had a child without telling us?!

The Marquis of Zhenguo was sweating profusely.

Wen Lanzhu's eyes were about to burst out. In a flash, she suddenly thought of something and said in a lost voice,
