Chapter 307 Let it be

Seeing that the boy's mood had stabilized, Xu Wan sent him to the study and then returned to her own courtyard.

Zong Zhao was sitting at the desk writing.

Xu Wan came in and told him about the little devil's situation, and then asked, "Is what Luo Jingfeng said true?"

She remembered that at the palace gate, Zong Zhao said that Luo Jingfeng would love Jin Cheng very much in the future. Why would it hurt so much? Was it because of their blood relationship? And Zong Zhao knew this?

Yes, of course he knew.

After all, he was the one who brought Jincheng back home that year.

But with their half-familiar relationship, Zong Zhao would not tell her such a private matter. Xu Wan changed her tone and said, "It's okay. I have already comforted Jin Cheng..."

"What Luo Jingfeng said is true." Zong Zhao raised his head, his eyes deep.

Xu Wan was shocked by the sudden answer. She asked nervously, "Then Jincheng...is he your child?"

Although she joked with Jincheng that he might be the son of Luo Shu and Zong Zhao, but what if that were the case? Who knows if life would be so bloody?

"It's the emperor." Zong Zhao's deep voice rang out, and he told Xu Wan the truth in the simplest words, "Ten years ago, Shu Fei was found to be secretly pregnant by the prince, and she held your hand and killed herself. Your Highness felt guilty and spared Jin Cheng's life, and I took her out of the palace to raise her."

Xu Wan covered her mouth timidly and asked, "Then the emperor... the Luo family... they don't know?"

Zong Zhao nodded and said, "Shu Fei didn't want Jin Cheng to be involved in the struggle for imperial power, so the emperor and the Luo family were unaware of it. Luo Jingfeng also just found out."

"Then..." Xu Wan wanted to ask more, but further questions would involve power struggles.

Zong Zhao knew what she was worried about, but he simply replied: "This is the best solution at the moment, because with you and His Highness, this dead end has been saved."

Xu Wan trembled her hands, not knowing what to say.

Her wish has always been to be an ordinary person and live a good life. In modern times, she struggled to make money to support her brothers and sisters in the welfare home. In ancient times, she accepted Zong Jincheng's education in order to make money and live a better life.

She is not a queen-type personality, and she does not have the courage to use modern knowledge to unify the world and fight against the entire feudal era. She just wants some new things to be accepted by people in the most natural way. She does not want to be so unique, she just wants to blend in with the crowd and live the most ordinary and ordinary life.

But now, Zong Zhao said that he was able to play this game because of her.

This is too high a compliment; she doesn't deserve it.

"You're exaggerating. I just did what I had to do. My mother-in-law treated me very well, and I saved a lot of money from teaching Jincheng..."

Zong Zhao was silent for a while before he looked at her and said, "Thank you."

Xu Wan almost fled in panic.

She didn't know why she ran away, but every time she saw Zong Zhao and saw the way he looked at her, she wanted to run away.

It was a very strange feeling, as Zong Zhao was very friendly towards her and did not show any aggression or disrespect.

She couldn't figure it out, so she went to talk to Baili Weihong, but Baili Weihong had no experience in this area, so she could only talk to her about some irrelevant things.

"Sister-in-law, are you feeling unwell somewhere?" Bailiweihong noticed her abnormality.

Xu Wan said awkwardly: "To be honest, I'm a little nervous."

Bailiweihong smiled and said, "Is it because Zong Zhao suddenly came back?"

Xu Wan hesitated for a moment, then quickly nodded: "One of the reasons I chose to marry into the Marquis's Mansion was because my husband was not here. I thought he... I thought he would never come back. But now he is back, and although everyone is very happy, I just can't adapt. I am very anxious and confused. I don't know what to do."

Bailiweihong thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I've had this feeling before."

"Ah?" Xu Wan was surprised for a moment, and then she quickly realized, "Is it when Wen Xiu was here?"

Bailiweihong nodded: "I was still a married woman at that time, and I was very scared when I suddenly got pregnant. My family advised me to get rid of the baby, and I was very anxious and scared. I was afraid that because of me, my whole family would lose face; I was also afraid that if I didn't want this child, I would be sorry for Zong Yan who rescued me; I was even more afraid that my child would lose the chance to come into this world because of me."

Xu Wan had never heard her mention these things before, and now she just listened quietly without interrupting.

Baili Weihong smiled and said, "I became more and more anxious day by day until I was two months pregnant and suddenly had spotting. That was a sign of miscarriage. At that time, I suddenly realized that I might lose this child. Although there are many injustices in this world, although my father died unjustly, although my whole family fell into poverty...but this world is also very beautiful. I have reasonable and loving parents, and brothers and sisters who support each other and share weal and woe. Even though I am in hardship, I still love this world. I hope to bring my child to this world to see this beautiful land and the warmth of human nature."

Xu Wan put herself into her heart, felt her delicate emotions, and couldn't help being touched. Everyone has a different understanding of life, but it should be respected.

Bailiweihong held her hand and said, "So don't be anxious or afraid, just let it go. Sometimes, as time goes by, the answer you can't figure out will automatically appear in front of you."

Xu Wan felt much better after being comforted by her. She thanked her with a smile and was taken by Baili Weihong to the pond in the garden to feed the fish for a while.

Night falls.

Xu Wan went back to the dormitory like a condemned prisoner about to be beheaded. Although Baili Weihong told her to let nature take its course, they would be sleeping on the same bed as a couple from now on without even a break. No matter how open-minded she was, it was hard for her to accept it.

Xu Wan prepared herself mentally along the way, don't panic, don't panic, why be nervous, Zong Zhao has been appointed as a general, he is in a high position, powerful, handsome and skilled in martial arts, even the princess would find it difficult to find such a good partner... It's okay, Zong Zhao is fine.

Although she was preparing herself mentally, Xu Wan's steps became smaller and smaller. In the end, she walked a few steps and stopped every few steps, and she and Cuizhi walked through the flowers and plants along the way. It took her five or six times longer than usual to finally get into the house.

And suddenly, there was a soft couch in the room.

Zong Zhao was holding the quilt and putting it on the bed. When he saw her coming back, he just said casually, "I'm busy lately, so I'll be home late and out early. Let's sleep in separate beds. No one else will know."

Xu Wan stood at the door in a daze, feeling warm in her heart.

She suddenly understood what Bailiweihong said. It turned out that as long as she let things take their course, the answer would appear on its own.
