Ye Qiu was shocked. Could it be that he said out loud what he was thinking before he fell into coma?
She didn't know how to answer for a moment. Everything she had now might not be what she wanted most, but it was the best situation she had ever sought for herself.
I chose them all myself and acquired them with much effort.
Her parents had just come to see her, and Ye Qiu actually wanted to tease her mother.
Now, whenever my mother attends any formal occasions with my father, the clothes and accessories she wears are of the proper rank of a duke's wife and a first-rank imperial official.
All the formal attire for entering the palace was custom-made for my mother each season; my father asked the housekeeper to deliver the complete set of headgear that my grandmother had left for her, which she had never seen before; my mother moved into the main courtyard which had been vacant for a long time... She saw all of this before she got married.
My mother was known for favoring a concubine. The most famous scene was when my father brought my mother to the palace for a banquet and even took off his wife's formal clothes just for a word from my mother.
But Ye Qiu felt that these were probably just rumors. It seemed unlikely that his father would do such a thing for his mother. Otherwise, it would be impossible that so many years had passed before his mother actually wore the clothes she had hoped to wear.
And my brother, who was crowned the Crown Prince...
So, how to answer now?
She was dazed at the time, not understanding why He Qing would appear in her mind. She thought she had let it go. But it turned out that this was just a beautiful dream. Will it always be in the depths of her heart?
I heard from my father that He Qing already has a child.
Ye Qiu lowered his head.
If she wants to secure her position as princess, she will have to deal with the child sooner or later. So, she might as well tell a lie.
Ye Qiu looked up at Xuanyuan Huaiyu for a long time, his face turning red and white, and he thought to himself: It's really not easy to lie to someone like this, I can't bring myself to say it.
But in Xuanyuan Huaiyu's view, it was a completely different scene.
In the end, Ye Qiu could only say something random: "There's no such thing as regrets in life. I just want to live a good life. I feel unwilling to accept that I'm going to die like this."
Xuanyuan Huaiyu said: "Okay, you can tell the truth whenever you want."
After hearing this, Ye Qiu suddenly got angry. Why was he being so condescending? Wasn't it the same thing?
So I asked, “What is your regret in life?”
Xuanyuan Huaiyu blurted out: "No children."
Ye Qiu was dumbfounded. Shouldn't Wang Xipei be his regret in life? When did it change?
In order to secure her position as princess and under pressure from Concubine Chen, she had made up her mind and mentioned the matter of the child to him.
This resulted in him being reminded of his past, and he went berserk again because of Wang Xipei.
Ye Qiu was so surprised that he took a long time to say, "Shouldn't Wang Xipei be your biggest regret in life?"
Xuanyuan Huaiyu said: "She must be, but didn't you say that the past cannot be retrieved and life should move forward?
According to what you said, I think she is the one thing I can't change, a destined regret. But other things may be able to be changed. You said that if life is filled with regrets, it will be too sad.
Ye Qiu asked: "When did you want to have a child?"
Xuanyuan Huaiyu said: "I accompanied my son to Qingyin Academy to watch a group of children taking exams. It was interesting and cute.
Several of my royal brothers and sisters were cheering for their own children, but I couldn't find anyone to support me, so I thought it would be nice to have a child.
He went up to fight... During the exam, I was nervous down there, which was fine. It was better than having neither joy nor pride, nor a common hatred for the enemy, which would just become boring after watching for a while."
Ye Qiu said, "Didn't you say before that having the Third Emperor's son was enough?"
Xuanyuan Huaiyu said, "The son is grown up and cannot be kept. He is going to Luming Academy. He spent three nights preparing a gift for a woman, and then he bought a box of braised beef and stuffed it on me. He didn't even have a bottle of wine, and he asked me to drink less."
Xuanyuan Huaiyu was silent for a while, then suddenly looked at Ye Qiu: "If you are the mother of my child, I think it would be great.
...Would you like to?"
Ye Qiu looked at him: "I'm injured now..."
Xuanyuan Huaiyu said, "I understand."
Ye Qiu said, "When I'm healed, tell me again... If it's a son, don't take him to fight. If it's a daughter, don't interfere when I'm teaching her."
Xuanyuan Huaiyu smiled: "Okay!"
Concubine Chen, who had just returned from sending someone off, overheard the conversation between the two people at the door and burst into tears of joy.
He stood outside and hesitated for a long time, but in the end he did not go in and turned away.
The things in the bags of Qian Fucheng's two children opened the eyes of the Jingzhao Yin police station. The various evidences inside were related to more than one case.
There is solid evidence that Qian Fucheng, or Yu Dehai, made all kinds of false accounts and false receipts and expenditures for Dong Rouer, and colluded with the eldest son of Duke Rong to defraud his wife Shen Yu of her private property.
In addition, three detectives from the Jingzhao Yin Police Station had personally experienced it. In order to put pressure on Dong Rouer, Shen Zhaoshu and Shen Yu had once reported the fraud case to the Jingzhao Yin. Therefore, the first case to be promoted was the fraud case with the least serious circumstances among all the cases.
Dong Rouer was soon called in for questioning. Because the evidence was conclusive, all the fake contracts without actual transfer amounts were invalidated. The intermediary agency and the commercial contract company helped to re-process the documents for the properties involved in these invalidated fraudulent contracts and returned them to Chen Yu's name.
Chen Yu was only willing to keep the part of the dowry that the original Yongding Marquis had prepared for her.
She returned all the money she got from her parents' home after getting married, as well as the part of Shen Zhaoshu's mother and the part that belonged to Zhaoming, to Shen Zhaoshu and returned them to the Yongding Marquis Mansion.
Duke Rong was dumbfounded when he heard the news. Rongguo Mansion was almost an empty shell. He had originally put the fraudulently acquired properties under Dong Rouer's name, hoping that in the future, he would destroy the old ones and drive each family out of Rongguo Mansion like Chen Yu and her son.
