Chapter 380 I don’t ask for anything else in my life except a child
After Lin Qingning got the news from the maid, she hurried to find Yan Xingchuan angrily.
This time Yan Xingchuan didn't let anyone stop her and let her run in.
"What do you mean?" Lin Qingning asked as soon as she saw him. "Tell me, what do you mean?"
She was wearing a bright red dress, her hair was in a cross bun, and she wore a peony tassel hairpin. Because she was walking too fast, the golden tassels on her hair were shaking, and her face was flushed, not knowing whether it was from anxiety or anger.
Yan Xingchuan looked up at her and asked, "Cousin, you're questioning me? I wanted to ask you what you meant by that."
"I remember that my cousin married my eldest brother, not me. But now I am the King of Northern Yan. Logically, my wife should be called the Queen. Don't you understand this?"
"I don't understand!" Lin Qingning bit her lip. "I just know it, it's just a name, but you can't even tolerate it. I asked you to marry me and you didn't want to, but now you don't even want to give me a name!"
"I don't even care that you don't want to marry me, what else do you want?"
"How can it be just a title? If it's just a title, why do you have to fight for it, even for something that doesn't belong to you?" Yan Xingchuan thought it was ridiculous. "This is dignity, this is face, isn't it?"
"You want dignity, you want face. I will naturally not be stingy with what is yours and what should be given to you. But you insist on trampling on others' faces and making yourself look superior, don't you?"
Lin Qingning denied it: "Don't talk nonsense. You are doing this for Cui Liuniang. You are afraid that she will be wronged!"
"So what if I did it for her?" Yan Xingchuan suppressed his anger. "I did it for my wife, what's wrong with that?!"
"Qingning, can't you recognize who you are?"
"You used to be my cousin, but now you're my eldest brother's wife. What belongs to you should be taken away by me. If anyone tries to take it from you, I won't let them go. But if it doesn't belong to you, don't take it. Is that not acceptable?"
"Why do you have to make things so uneasy for everyone?"
Yan Xingchuan was really exhausted. He couldn't teach, couldn't hit, and couldn't wake the child up by scolding. He really had no idea what to do.
"I've disturbed everyone's peace? I think you're crazy. You treat me like this because of Cui Liuniang, disregarding the kindness my Lin family has shown you, and disregarding the spirits of my uncle, aunt, and eldest cousin in heaven."
"If you can't tolerate me, why did you send people to rescue me in the first place? Just let me die!"
For a moment, Yan Xingchuan really thought that if he had known this day would happen, he should not have rescued Lin Qingning.
But it was only for a moment, and he immediately put these emotions aside, wiped his face with his hand, and was too tired to speak.
Seeing him silent, Lin Qingning's heart sank in an instant: "You hesitated, didn't you? Are you also tired of me and hate me, and think I'm dirty and don't deserve to live in this world?"
"Enough!" Yan Xingchuan's patience ran out, and his attitude became more assertive. "I don't care whether you like it or not. From now on, I don't want to hear any words from the big queen or the little queen. If I hear anyone say that, I will kill them."
"And you, since you want to marry into the Yan family and want the Yan family to be your backer and your protection, then be more obedient and stop messing around. If I find out that you are bullying others outside by relying on the Yan family's influence, you can give it a try!"
"You dare!"
"How dare I not!"
Things had gotten to this point, and they were almost at loggerheads.
"Okay!" Lin Qingning laughed angrily.
She took out a handkerchief to wipe away her tears, then adjusted her expression, revealing her weak and pitiful look again.
"Cousin, do you know why so many people support me marrying my eldest cousin? Because I told them that if I marry my eldest cousin, I can continue his family line."
Yan Xingchuan frowned: "My eldest brother has passed away."
Lin Qingning said, "It's true that my eldest cousin has passed away, but don't you still exist among his closest brothers? As long as you are born to me and are registered under my eldest cousin's name, there will be no difference between you and his biological son."
"Cousin, I don't ask for anything else in this life except a child so I can have someone to rely on in the future."
"Ridiculous!" Yan Xingchuan was so angry that he almost vomited blood. "This is absolutely impossible!"
What a ridiculous thing this is.
"Qingning, can't you just be more content?"
Lin Qingning said, "How can I be content? I just want to live a better life. Is that wrong? If you don't want to marry me, I'll marry my eldest cousin. My requirements are not high. I just want a child. Besides, if you don't want to agree, I'm afraid it's too late."
At this moment, a personal guard came to report: "My Lord, Generals Bian, Nian, and Wang have come to pay their respects to the Crown Prince."
General Bian, General Nian, and General Wang were all subordinates of the Marquis of Zhenbei in the past, and they were also the elders who watched people like Yan Xingshan and Yan Xingchuan grow up.
These three are already quite old. The oldest, General Bian, is already sixty-five, and the youngest, General Wang, is already fifty-five. However, due to injuries he suffered in the past, his legs have some inconveniences, and he has not been on the battlefield for a long time.
"Seeking a meeting?" Yan Xingchuan laughed angrily. "You want to use these people to pressure me? Cousin, do you think that because I'm easy to talk to, I have no temper and can let them dictate my life?"
"If they come to ask for an audience, will I meet them?"
Yan Xingchuan treated these ministers very well indeed. He often spoke about reason and morality, respected the older generation, and was tolerant of the younger generation. If there were any difficulties, he would know about them and do his best to help.
He was willing to be a good lord, but that didn't mean he wasn't capable of suppressing these people.
Lin Qingning is fine, he feels guilty towards the Lin family and can't just ignore it, but these people, could it be that they want to take advantage of him?
"Yun Gang."
"I'm here."
"Go and ask the generals to go back and live their lives properly. If they don't want to go back, then ask them to go to the prison. The prison is damp, cold and dark. Let them wake up their minds in there."
Lin Qingning was stunned. She didn't expect that the person she invited would be turned away and couldn't even see Yan Xingchuan.
"You...how could you do this? How could you do this? Have you forgotten that they are the few people left by your uncle's side? Are you doing this to your uncle? Aren't you afraid of divine punishment?"
Yan Xingchuan didn't respond, but said coldly, "Send Madam Lin back to her courtyard. By the way, since you've married into the Yan family, you can't keep calling her Madam Lin."
Yan Xingchuan thought for a moment, and finally said, "My father and mother are both gone, and now I am the head of the Yan family. It is inappropriate to call me the Crown Prince's wife. So, I will call you the wife of the Marquis of Zhenbei."
