"Just because of that?"
Yue Rongheng had a headache.
Do you remember the cases last month where several respectable women were abducted and sold into brothels in the city?
Qin Sheng was taken aback. "What does this case have to do with you?"
She naturally remembered this incident. Because the case was not progressing smoothly, the prefect had come to the mansion several times to ask the prince for help.
"I've gone to help."
Yue Rongheng sighed and pulled the people into his arms: "They are all respectable young women, I can't just stand by and watch them die."
Qin Sheng pouted: "So, when you helped, did you end up helping a brothel?"
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained," Yue Rongheng pinched her ear. "From now on, stop reading those mindless novels. I don't know what you're thinking about all day long."
"..."
Qin Sheng felt a little ashamed. She had acted impulsively earlier and only now realized how terrible she had thought of him.
"My husband---"
Qin Sheng snuggled in his arms for a while before saying, "Our son is so big now, why don't we have another one?"
She knew that Yue Rongheng actually loved his daughter very much.
He can't help but glance at other people's little girls when he sees them outside.
However, Qin Sheng suffered greatly when she gave birth to her son, so Yue Rongheng has never dared to let her get pregnant again over the years.
He even had the imperial physician prescribe medicine for him.
"Why did you suddenly think of this?" Yue Rongheng lay down with her in his arms. "Childbirth is like walking through the gates of hell for a woman. Do you remember how painful it was when you gave birth to Jingming?"
Qin Sheng hadn't forgotten.
No woman can forget the excruciating pain of childbirth, as if her body were being torn apart.
"But Jingming is all grown up now, and in a couple of years he'll be of marriageable age. Won't we be too lonely after he gets married?"
No, it won't.
Yue Rongheng hugged his wife tightly with heartache, "After Jingming gets married, we'll travel around and see the beautiful landscapes. Life won't be too boring then."
In any case, he really didn't want Qin Sheng to suffer the pain of childbirth anymore.
"Then I want to go to the far north to see the snow."
Qin Sheng said longingly, "The book says that the Bu clan lives there in igloos. They are short in stature but skilled at fishing. They also use fish skin to make nets and tree bark to make clothes. They are very mysterious."
"Okay." Yue Rongheng affectionately raised his hand to stroke her hair. "Then let's go to the far north, and then detour to Changhua. I heard that the people there can tame foxes and deer. If you like, we can go and learn."
Qin Sheng was sleepy, so she nodded and her eyelids gradually closed.
The couple were deeply in love for decades, traveling together to many places and exploring the beautiful landscapes of their motherland.
Yue Rongheng passed away at the age of seventy.
He didn't suffer from any illness before he passed away. Qin Sheng stayed by his side the whole time, taking care of everything for him personally.
On the day Yue Rongheng left, she didn't shed a single tear.
Qin Sheng personally cleaned her husband's face, wiped his body, and changed his clothes. She only spoke after her husband was placed in the coffin, and the words were spoken to her son and daughter-in-law.
"Bury me with your father. I'm most afraid of being alone, and so was he. I have to be with him."
Yue Rongjingming opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.
His parents had been loving and affectionate for decades, and he had never seen them argue. His father had even pampered his mother like a little girl for decades.
He had considered that his father's death would be a great blow to his mother, but he hadn't imagined that his mother would lose the will to live.
Qin Sheng went there at night.
She dressed neatly, and after doing her own makeup, she took the poison she had prepared beforehand.
We don't ask to be born on the same day, month, and year, but we do ask to be buried together.
Memories flooded her mind, and Qin Sheng smiled slightly as she recalled the sweet moments she shared with him before closing her eyes.
