Chapter 9: Morning sickness is so shameless!
Shen Xing went to her at night and pulled the quilt over Tang Lin'er's body, gently nudged her and called out, "Lin'er, wake up, what's wrong with you?"
Tang Lin'er woke up slowly, saw Shen Xingwan, and then saw herself in such a state, she immediately burst into tears in fear.
Shen Xingwan quickly covered her mouth and said, "Stop crying, do you want more people to see you?"
"What exactly happened? Tell me quickly so I can seek justice for you."
Tang Lin'er stopped crying after hearing this. She recalled a little and cried, "I don't know what happened. I just felt dizzy and it seemed like someone came in when I was sleeping. Despite my resistance, that person actually...actually...I can't live anymore..."
Tang Lin'er banged her head on the ground while crying and was about to commit suicide on the spot. Shen Xingwan quickly hugged her and shouted, "Come here! What is going on? How could Miss Tang be humiliated like this? Tell the truth! If you dare to lie, I will sell you all out!"
The maids knelt on the ground, and a well-respected old woman stepped forward and said, "To answer the young lady's question, Miss Tang was resting in the side room just now, and we were all waiting outside. A servant went to relieve himself and saw the maidservant beside Miss Tang talking with a few country men in the woods. He felt something was wrong, so he was about to interrogate her, but he didn't expect the third prince to come."
Shen Xingwan shouted angrily: "Can the Third Prince come in? Is this how you guard the gate?!"
The old woman shrank back and lowered her head. "The Third Prince is obviously a little drunk. He waved us away and did not allow us to get close to him. The Third Prince and the young lady have been married by the Emperor. I, this old servant, really..."
"You really deserve to die!" Shen Xingwan refuted her, but her eyes fell on Tang Lin'er: "Even if you are engaged, you can't be so shameless!"
Tang Lin'er cried even harder and almost passed out.
Shen Xingwan glanced at everyone, showing his majesty, and said loudly: "What happened today, you all must keep it to yourself, and don't mention it again. If I hear a word of it somewhere else, I will pursue it to the end."
Everyone agreed and left wisely.
Shen Xingwan picked up the outer robe on the ground and put it on Tang Lin'er, comforting her: "Things have come to this point, crying won't change anything. Fortunately, you will marry the third prince after all, so it can't be considered as losing your virginity. Don't mention this matter again, let's go back home first."
Tang Lin'er had no choice but to agree, put on her clothes, and went back home with Shen Xingwan.
That night, when Shen Xingwan was about to personally interrogate the little maid who had a secret meeting with a man in the forest, the old woman came to report that the little maid had jumped into a well and died.
Isn't the death so strange? Shen Xingwan frowned and told the deceased to be the most important and not to pursue the matter any further. He also gave her money to buy a coffin and bury the maid.
After doing all this, she personally brought the supplements to Tang Lin'er's hospital.
The little maid guarding the gate saw her coming from afar, her face showed panic, and she turned around and ran to report.
Shen Xingwan gave her a look, and Feiyun immediately rushed over, grabbed the back of the little maid's collar and covered her mouth, and said with a smile: "Don't shout, it's late at night and there's no one around, so as not to disturb the young lady. Go down and rest, you're not needed here for the time being."
The little maid nodded to indicate that she understood. Feiyun let go of her hand, and she had no choice but to go downstairs, looking back every few steps.
Before Shen Xingwan even approached the door, she heard teacups being smashed inside.
A loud slap was accompanied by a scream, followed by a low whimper.
"Useless thing, you set up a trap, but it trapped me. What do I need you for?!"
"Miss, please calm down. I didn't expect this to happen. I only put aphrodisiac in her teacup. How could this happen?"
"You ask me? Who should I ask? I want you to find a way to break her virginity. With her noble birth, if she becomes a slut, I will be the only lady in the Shen family. Doesn't the Imperial Concubine look down on my birth and still want that slut? Let's see if she still wants the slut!"
"You are so good. Now my reputation is completely ruined. How can I climb up? How can I climb up? You tell me!"
There was a sound of scuffling and tearing, and it was obvious that the beating was too severe. The little maidservant cried and begged for mercy.
"Miss, please spare me. I won't dare to do it again. Next time, I will definitely..."
"Will there be a next time?! I was almost robbed by those bandits today, did you know that?!"
"Bitch..." Tang Lin'er lowered her voice dangerously, "I have to throw you to the bandits to have some fun before you know how powerful I am."
"Miss, please spare my life. Miss, please spare me for the fact that I have been loyal to you for so many years. I will never dare to do it again!"
"Forget it. Who are you crying for? Fortunately, it's the Third Prince who came today. It can be considered as a help for me to see the Third Prince. Get up. Use your pig brain to think about how to help me. Don't let me let her jump into the well and be your scapegoat."
"Yes, ma'am."
The two of them leaned close to each other and whispered. Since they couldn't hear anything through the wall, Shen Xingwan narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath, and coughed lightly.
The room immediately became quiet. The door was opened. Tang Lin'er's personal maid Ruyi glanced at the maid guarding the gate. Seeing that there was no one there, her face changed, but she still walked out quickly and bowed.
"The young lady is here, but the maid didn't announce it. She must have been playing around and gone out to play. I'm sorry for not coming to greet you."
"No problem."
Shen Xingwan reached out and pulled Ruyi up, "My sister was frightened during the day, I came to check on her."
"Yes, Miss, please follow me."
Ruyi respectfully led Shen Xingwan to Tang Lin'er's room, only to see Tang Lin'er lying on the couch crying softly, looking so weak and pitiful.
Shen Xingwan personally brought the supplement to her bedside and comforted her softly, "Sister, please stop crying. Do you still want your eyes? This blood swallow is the best for nourishing yin and qi. You can use some."
"Thank you, sister." Tang Lin'er cried, "Lin'er is a lowly person, and encountering such a thing again, I really have no face to live in this world anymore."
"Stop talking nonsense. I know you are the kindest and gentlest person. It's the Third Prince who doesn't know how to be gentle and kind to women. When you become a princess, he will know your good points and will naturally be gentle and kind to you."
Tang Lin'er shed tears: "I hope so."
Unfortunately, Tang Lin'er's extravagant hopes were completely dashed at noon the next day.
An official decree was issued from the palace, appointing the daughter of the Minister of Revenue as the third prince's principal wife, and appointing the daughter of the Grand Marshal as the third prince's concubine. The two imperial decrees had already been sent to the Minister's Mansion and the Grand Marshal's Mansion.
"How could this be..." Tang Lin'er fell into the chair, unable to recover for a long time.
She couldn't believe that Wei Zilin would treat her like this.
He was clearly still passionately entangled with her yesterday, wishing he could devote everything he had to her.
Why did he turn around and marry someone else today without giving her any status?
Tang Lin'er was overwhelmed with grief and was unable to breathe for a moment. She leaned over and began to retch. Ruyi hurried forward to pat her back and brought her tea to rinse her mouth.
Seeing Tang Lin'er vomiting more and more violently, Ruyi frowned and asked tentatively: "Miss, do you want to ask a doctor to take a look?"
"Why are you looking at the doctor for no reason? Don't you think I'm annoying enough?!" Tang Lin'er waved her hand away and was about to slap her in the face, but suddenly she understood the meaning in her eyes.
Tang Lin'er's hands froze in mid-air. After a moment's thought, she looked down at her flat belly. After a long pause, she said, "Go get a doctor quickly. Come quietly. I want a gynecologist."
"yes."
Ruyi was also panicked and hurriedly put down the teacup and went out.
When it was getting dark, Ruyi led a doctor and sneaked into Tang Lin'er's courtyard through the corner door.
Feiyun received the letter from the servant at the corner gate and immediately went to inform Shen Xingwan.
Shen Xingwan was leaning over her desk reading an invitation from Princess Guang'an. Princess Guang'an's birthday was in two days, and she was invited to the palace for a banquet.
Upon hearing this, Shen Xingwan put down the note, thought for a moment, and told Feiyun: "Go check on her and see what disease she has."
Feiyun took the order and went to guard the corner gate personally. After Ruyi sent the doctor away and returned, he followed him out quietly.
She trotted over to the doctor and called him cordially, "Wait a moment, old sir. Can you please write another prescription for our young lady?"
The doctor stopped walking when he heard this, and turned around, very puzzled, "I didn't prescribe any medicine for you, young lady."
Feiyun clapped his hands, very annoyed, "Doctor, you are called here to see the patient, are you trying to fool us? Why don't you prescribe any medicine?"
The doctor was also puzzled. "Didn't I make it very clear just now? Miss is suffering from morning sickness and morning sickness. She doesn't need to take medicine. She just needs to rest."
Feiyun was shocked, then her eyes slightly turned, she took out a hundred bucks and stuffed it into the doctor's hand, and said with an apologetic smile: "That's great, it was me who was reckless, please don't take offense, please don't mention this, so that the young lady won't blame me."
Although the doctor was angry, he didn't say anything because of the money. He just took the money and left.
Feiyun went back immediately and told Shen Xingwan the whole news.
Good morning......
Shen Xingwan frowned. Was she having morning sickness so soon? It’s only been a few days?
She immediately understood and snorted coldly.
It can be seen that the two people have been having an affair for a long time, and it is not just a recent occurrence. They are already pregnant.
Shen Xingwan suddenly felt a churning in his chest and felt nauseous and uncomfortable.
She was silent for a long time, and then ordered Feiyun to invite Tang Lin'er to go to the palace with her for a banquet in two days.
On Princess Guang'an's birthday, Tang Lin'er waited outside Shen Xingwan's courtyard early in the morning. She waited until Shen Xingwan got up and dressed before coming in to greet her.
Shen Xingwan took a quick look and narrowed her eyes in confusion, "What is my sister doing?"
Tang Lin'er looked down at her maid uniform, and as usual, she looked humble and timid, "Lin'er didn't receive the invitation, so I thought I should do the same as last time..."
What a good move of retreating to advance. Shen Xingwan sneered in her heart, but continued to play along with her. She clapped her hands and said suddenly, "Oh, blame me, blame me. You have been included in the Shen family tree. You are my biological sister. How could there be no post for you?"
She smiled and stood up to pick up the note from the table. "It was delivered a long time ago. I forgot to send it to you. Look."
That was actually the invitation that Shen Xingwan specially asked Princess Guang'an to send. The Third Prince would also attend Princess Guang'an's birthday party, so how could she not create an opportunity for the three of them to reunite?
Tang Lin'er was overjoyed and hurried over to take the invitation. She flipped through it and found that it was indeed an invitation specifically for her, Miss Tang from the Shen Mansion.
She was delighted for a moment, then suddenly seemed to remember something and looked dejected.
"What's wrong?"
Tang Lin'er pursed her lips, a little hesitant, "Such a grand banquet, the Minister of Revenue and his daughter...will also go..."
Shen Xingwan laughed, "Why should we be afraid of them? If the Third Prince doesn't work out, there are still so many other princes. Even worse, there are so many princes and nobles. How can our daughter of the Shen family worry about not being able to get married?"
"Not really... well... that's all..."
Tang Lin'er wanted to say something but hesitated. Shen Xingwan urged her to change her clothes so as not to miss the time.
When Tang Lin'er dressed up carefully and sat next to Shen Xingwan, they really looked like a pair of sisters, radiant and dazzling, attracting everyone's attention.
It was the end of spring, and Princess Guang'an had wasted so much money that she prepared steamed crabs that were only available in late autumn and were full of yellow and fat for everyone.
Shen Xingwan ordered someone to carefully peel the crab meat, and handed the delicious crab meat to Tang Lin'er, urging her affectionately: "Try it while it's hot, or it will get fishy and smell cold."
Tang Lin'er frowned slightly, obviously unable to bear the smell of crab, and politely declined, "Crab meat is too cold. I have had stomach discomfort recently, so it is not suitable for me to eat it. Let your sister enjoy it."
Pregnant women should not eat cold food. It seems that she really wants to give birth to this child.
Shen Xingwan knew it as soon as he looked at it, and he understood it in his heart. He picked up a pot of wine and put it on her table, "It's okay, warm up the ginger wine, it can relieve the coldness of the crab meat, you can have a drink to warm yourself up."
"I, I have a stomachache and I shouldn't drink."
"Oh, is that so." Shen Xingwan smiled slightly and looked at her meaningfully, "That's really a pity."
Tang Lin'er didn't know how to explain. She saw the Third Prince leaving the table to change clothes from a distance, and quickly stood up, "Sister, I feel sick in my stomach, I want to rest for a while."
Shen Xingwan naturally agreed and said a few words of concern.
Tang Lin'er was absent-minded. She responded hastily, then lifted her skirt and hurried towards the direction of the Third Prince.
