Shu Ke, who was outside the door, didn't care about his concubine and rushed in: "Eighth Sister, I was wrong, I was wrong, please don't be angry. I'll accept the beating and punishment, I won't dare to do it again, I will never do it again. Please don't be angry, please calm down."
If something were to happen to Eighth Sister, he would really be ready to die immediately.
Yan Jinfei sat back down: "Princess, please calm down. Take care of your health. I'm feeling better now. I'll go to the palace myself to plead for a divorce from the Prince Consort. If we can't get a divorce, I'll move out. The Yan family still has several estates; there's bound to be a place where I can settle down. At that time, it's fine with him to dote on whomever he likes."
After all these years of marriage, she is still a virgin...
What's the point of this marriage? I'd rather be alone. At least it's not so miserable.
"How can this be allowed?" Yi Yu asked even more anxiously.
Yan Jinfei sighed, "In any case, Princess, please take care of yourself. If something happens to you... wouldn't there be no hope left? We really haven't been able to get along these past few years. I won't pursue this matter. But he will definitely be punished. There's nothing I can do about it."
“Yan Jinfei, you…” Shu Ke gritted his teeth: “Do whatever you want, just don’t talk about divorce. In the future, I… I just won’t spoil anyone else.”
"Why bother..."
"Princess...are you...going into labor?" Baihe was startled; Princess Yiyu was bleeding.
"Oh no! What should we do?" Princess Yiyu's people were extremely anxious.
"Don't panic, there probably aren't any in this manor. You all hurry back and call the midwife and the imperial physician. Princess Yiyu is over seven months pregnant, she'll be fine," Baihe hurriedly instructed.
"Quickly return to the palace and summon the imperial physician. Also, inform Her Majesty that everything should be done with the princess's health as the priority."
Two young eunuchs who came with her also hurried away after hearing what she said.
Upon seeing this, Yan Jinsi hurriedly said, "Go back to the manor and call a few people to take care of him."
Lily didn't experience that either. When Yan Nangui was giving birth, how could she possibly have had a chance?
But since she served in the palace, she remained calm.
"Let's help the princess to a room first. We can deal with the troubles after the princess is safe."
Shu Ke wanted to hug him, but was stopped.
"Don't hold him anymore, he might suffocate. Help him walk."
So he half-supported and half-lifted Princess Yiyu and took her to an empty room.
Yi Yu gritted her teeth and grabbed his hand: "If you... still acknowledge me, then..."
"Sister, please, I beg you, as long as you're okay, I'll do whatever you say. I'll never do anything reckless again, please." Shu Ke's tears slid down her cheeks and landed on Yi Yu's face.
"Okay." Yi Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
Upon receiving the news, Yan Nangui immediately summoned the imperial physician and also sent Kong Qing along.
“This matter… Princess Yiyu’s pregnancy was disturbed because of him. I’m afraid… you shouldn’t punish him too severely,” Jiangxiang said.
"Sigh, Yi Yu has it tough. Actually, I don't really hate Consort Zhen. In the past, I could have ignored it. But now, face is more important. Let's talk about it after she gives birth. I'll have to make an appearance and punish her. However, I was surprised that Yan Jinfei would actually say she wanted a divorce. You know, if she gets a divorce, she probably won't have a chance to remarry for the rest of her life."
"She must be heartbroken. Besides, she's your sister. Even if you don't get along, there are probably many people who want to marry her. It's not that she can't get married, but she can't find a good match."
Yan Nangui shook her head: "Tell me, isn't this retribution? I never expected Shu Ke to treat her like this, and what happened? She really is on the same path as I was back then."
Jiang Xiang smiled and said, "That's right, it's fate."
Princess Yiyu's premature birth is now a foregone conclusion.
The prince consort eventually went there as well.
Fortunately, she gave birth to a son safely. Although the baby was a little weak, both mother and child were safe.
Shu Ke was scared half to death.
When the prince consort left, he didn't give Shu Ke a kind look at all. The better his relationship with the princess became, the more he looked down on Shu Ke, his brother-in-law.
Something that does more harm than good.
Knowing full well that His Majesty despises him, he still courts death. He even lays hands on the principal wife for the sake of a concubine.
Let alone the Empress's sister, which family has such an incompetent person?
Just wait to be punished.
After seeing the princess off, Yan Jinsi did not leave.
She's been staying here for two days now.
At this moment, the two sisters were talking alone in the inner room.
"Are you feeling better? You heard what the imperial physician said; there won't be any scars on your face. Just let it rest after the fever subsides," Yan Jinsi said.
"Is my current predicament something to be happy about, Third Sister?" Yan Jinfei's voice was a little hoarse because of her fever.
His tone was both sarcastic and dejected as he spoke.
"What kind of situation? Do you know that Meng Junxian and I separated after having our second son?" Yan Jinsi sneered, "As if I'm doing any better than you."
“Yes, neither of us is doing well. Back then, we treated her badly. She really paid back every single one of our mistakes. There’s no escaping it.” Yan Jinfei smiled bitterly.
"There's no point in saying more. You should focus on taking care of your health. I'm afraid the palace won't allow you to get a divorce. As for the future..." Yan Jinsi didn't know how to advise her on how to live her life in the future.
"Does Third Sister regret it? Sometimes I regret it so much. I regret everything I've done. But I don't even know when I started to regret it," Yan Jinfei said.
“Regret... I regret it. How could I not? But as you said, I don’t know where to begin to regret it. I thought that if I hadn’t married Meng Junxian, perhaps I wouldn’t be the way I am now. But it seems that even if you hadn’t married him, I still couldn’t escape an unhappy marriage.”
"I wonder if things would have been better if I had treated her a little kinder back then? But her mother's death was inevitable. I wonder... did her mother regret it? If she hadn't married my father in the first place, would everything have been different?"
When the topic of their mother came up, both of them fell silent.
They dared not speak.
I know in my heart that my mother has passed away, but no one dares to mention it, as if not mentioning it will make me less sad.
What good will it do to bring it up?
Yan Jinsi took a deep breath: "No matter what, you... keep taking care of him."
It just won't get warm anymore.
The hurt we caused each other back then may have faded somewhat due to my mother's passing and my own misfortunes, but it will always remain.
The next day, His Majesty issued an edict, bestowing upon Yanming Yun the title of Earl of Funing and the title of Lady Zou.
Such titles naturally decline with each generation.
However, having a noble title was an absolute upgrade for Yan Mingyun's family.
He then issued an imperial edict, bestowing upon Yan Nan the title of Marquis of Chengkang and the title of Lady Yang.
In the present day, Yan Lingyun is the Duke of Zhen'an, Yan Nanxu is the Marquis of Fengning, and Yan Nanji is the Marquis of Chengkang.
The second branch of the family now both have earls, making it a peak of prosperity in the capital.
