"It would be nice to have a younger sister..."
As he spoke, Wei Cang looked at Wei Yuelang and his wife expectantly with an expression that said, "As long as you are willing to have a baby, I can do it."
Before he could finish his words, Wei Yuelang started coughing violently again.
“Cough cough cough…”
Seeing that he was coughing so hard, Mrs. Qiu hurried over to him, helped pat him, and looked at him with a worried look on her face.
"What's going on? Why are you coughing so badly?"
As she spoke, she looked at Shi Xin beside her with dissatisfaction, pointed at her and questioned her harshly.
"How do you take care of your husband?!"
Although Shi Xin had some complaints in her heart, she still stood up obediently, knelt down and admitted her mistake, and spoke softly.
"Mother, calm down. It's all the daughter-in-law's fault."
"Of course it's your fault!"
Qiu seemed to have found an outlet for her venting, and she pointed at her and started cursing.
"Over the years, Lang'er has never taken a concubine, nor has he gone out to look for other women. He has been devoted to you and has always stayed in your room. But you have never been pregnant except for Linlin. If it's not your fault, then whose fault is it?!"
Seeing her eyes looking at her as if she was an enemy, Shi Xin was speechless and felt very aggrieved.
She could only pull Wei Yuelang beside her, glared at him fiercely, and signaled him to persuade her quickly.
Wei Yuelang drank several sips of tea and finally stopped coughing. When she pulled him, his hand shook and the remaining tea in the cup spilled directly onto his clothes.
His brows were furrowed, with a hint of hostility in his expression.
This is a gift from him.
He wiped it carefully with a towel, then looked at Qiu and helped Shi Xin speak.
"Mother, please don't blame Xin'er..."
"Your mother is right!"
Wei Cang suddenly frowned and interrupted him loudly.
He glared at Shi Xin and said sternly:
"Shi Xin, our Wei family has never treated you unfairly over the years, but if you really can't have children anymore, for the sake of Yue Lang's offspring, we must help him find a concubine!"
"That's right!" Qiu nodded in agreement.
She had wanted to do this for a long time.
Seeing this, Shi Xin bowed her head and responded: "My daughter-in-law has no objection. It's all up to my father and mother to decide."
She didn't care. No matter how many women came in, she still couldn't have children.
Qiu glanced at her and snorted coldly, "You're smart!"
As soon as she sat down, Wei Yuelang suddenly stood up and refused loudly, "No!"
"Why not?!"
Qiu was so frightened by his shout that she jumped up.
Seeing her son's angry expression, she pointed at Shi Xin standing beside her.
"What kind of magic potion did she give you to make you want her?!"
Hearing this, Shi Xin secretly curled her lips.
It's not me who's trying to drug your son.
Qiu's eyes were slightly red, and her tone was a little aggrieved, "I just want to have more grandchildren, is it so difficult?!"
Facing his mother's earnest, puzzled and hurt gaze, Wei Yuelang felt uncomfortable and could only come up with his usual excuse again.
"Mother, I have already made it clear to you that my career is my top priority. I only want to do my job well. How can I indulge in something like that?!"
As he said this, he looked at Wei Cang as if asking for help.
Wei Cang: ...
Why are you looking at me? I'm watching very attentively.
It turns out that there is so much fun to watch after staying out of it!
The next moment, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have already spoken out to persuade her at this time in the past...
“Ahem!”
I'm so annoyed. I didn't realize I missed so many good shows in the past.
He sighed in frustration, but decided to speak.
"Well, no matter what, it's a good thing that your son wants to make progress."
"Since he doesn't want to, we can discuss the matter of taking a concubine another day. Alright, start talking, or the food will get cold!"
If you don’t eat it, I still want to eat it!
Thinking of this, he picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat and put it into his mouth.
I finally got to eat this meal.
He glanced at the three people who were unusually silent and felt that the food was even more delicious. Mm, it smelled so good!
After the meal, only Wei Cang was satisfied, while the other three people at the table felt bored.
After eating and drinking, Wei Cang wiped the corner of his mouth casually, then stood up and walked out.
"You guys continue, I have things to do."
Qiu stood up and looked at him, and said in a pinched voice: "Master, I will leave the light on for you tonight."
Who asked you to leave the door open?! I don't care!
He turned his head and said something casually.
"No need. I still need to write down the production steps and progress tonight. I will definitely be busy until very late. I will just take a nap in the study."
Looking at his back without any reluctance, for some reason, Qiu felt more and more uneasy.
It was as if something was out of her control.
She looked at her son beside her and asked for confirmation: "Lang'er, do you feel that there is something wrong with your father?"
Wei Yuelang was still thinking about weapons.
Hearing this, he put down his bowl and chopsticks, then stood up and straightened his clothes, "Father is very busy, you should be more understanding."
"My son has finished his work, and I will take my leave now."
After saying that, he quickly walked out of the main hall and went to the bedroom.
After the two left, Shi Xin picked up her chopsticks and prepared to continue eating.
Her calm demeanor made Qiu even more upset, and she slammed her chopsticks heavily on the table.
"You're actually still in the mood to eat? You're really bold!"
Shi Xin glanced at her while picking up the food, "Mother, I'm not being careless, I just don't feel guilty."
Perhaps Qiu was indeed feeling guilty, and the listener took it to heart.
Hearing her vague words, Qiu looked a little panicked and spoke haltingly, "You, what do you mean by that?"
Shi Xin looked at her with a faint smile and said meaningfully, "My daughter-in-law means that the doctor comes to check my pulse every month. Isn't mother the one who knows best if there is anything wrong with my body?"
Hearing her say this, Qiu suddenly became at a loss.
For a moment, she didn't know whether she should panic that her bribery of the doctor had been discovered, or worry about her son's health.
Finally, she glared at Shi Xin fiercely, then hurried away with a complicated expression.
Looking at her slightly flustered back, Shi Xin curled her lips in a sneer, then put down her bowl and chopsticks, and glanced at the leftovers on the table with disdain.
"Someone, come and stew a bowl of bird's nest."
"yes!"
After giving the order, Shi Xin slowly returned to the room and waited.
As soon as I entered the door, I met Wei Yuelang's angry eyes.
Although he lowered his voice deliberately, his tone was still full of anger.
"Why did you agree to take a concubine just now?!"
Shi Xin rolled her eyes impatiently and slammed the door shut.
"Don't say that, or I'll think you're deeply in love with me."
"You... are simply unreasonable!"
After Wei Yuelang roared, he took a deep breath to suppress his anger and looked at her with gritted teeth.
"Don't forget the agreement between us!"
After saying that, he opened the door and left.
The maid Xiao Ming came in with bird's nests and saw that he looked unhappy, and she became a little worried.
"Miss, did you have a quarrel with your uncle?"
After putting the tray down, she sighed, "You and your son-in-law have always had a good relationship, why is it that..."
As he spoke, Xiao Ming glanced at Shi Xin's belly covertly.
Why can’t I get pregnant? …
Imperial Palace, Chen Dong Office After listening to Jin Shu's report, Shangguan Jin shook his head and smiled, then sighed.
"They are just children after all."
Then he lowered his eyes and tapped lightly on the armrest of the wheelchair.
After a long while, he slowly spoke.
"You mean, that object can actually illuminate without fire?"
Jinshu nodded, "That's right."
"But night-shining pearls or something like that?"
Jinshu shook his head slowly, "Absolutely not. The light was very bright, and wherever it shone was as bright as day, and there was also a control switch."
Shangguan Jin looked out the window at the night and sighed, "My little benefactor is truly miraculous."
At the same time, in Qionghua Palace, Emperor Qixuan's face turned serious after listening to Su Maowen's report.
"Han Jieyu?!"
He frowned and thought for a long time, but still had no impression at all.
Seeing this, the Imperial Concubine had no choice but to explain: "She is the daughter of the governor of Luozhou."
The governor of Luozhou?
Isn't that just...
"Is it really related to Marquis Pingyang?!"
