Chapter 150 Qi Yanzhou agrees to get married
Xue Dong didn't know Ye Chutang's plan.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, he reminded her, "Miss Ye, the world is harsh on women. If you are found to be pregnant, you may face the fate of being drowned in a pond."
"Even if you have the ability to avoid being drowned, you will be stabbed in the back for the rest of your life, and your children will not be able to hold their heads up high."
"So, the best way now is to find someone to marry before being discovered."
After hearing what Xue Dong said, Ye Chutang smiled and said, "Divine Doctor Xue and I are thinking the same thing."
After saying that, she stood up.
"After I have settled my lifelong affairs, I will come back to ask Dr. Xue for advice on medical skills."
Before leaving, she drank the lukewarm tangerine peel tea.
Xue Dong was worried that Ye Chutang would be like her mother, marrying the wrong person, so he hurriedly stopped her.
"Miss Ye, marriage is a serious matter and should not be taken lightly. You must be careful."
Ye Chutang walked to the door and turned around with a bright smile.
"Being cautious is not important. As long as you can control the opponent, you will be invincible."
"I am too narrow-minded. I hope Miss Ye can find a good man and have someone to rely on."
"Men are the most unreliable. It is better to rely on yourself than on others."
Ye Chutang finished speaking and left in style.
Xue Dong looked at the empty doorway and whispered, "Wan Ning, if you had half the insight of your daughter, you would still be alive now, right?"
***
Ye Chutang went straight to Prince Chen's mansion.
In the end, he came back empty-handed. Qi Yanzhou was on duty at the Dali Temple and could not come back until his shift was over.
She went to see Concubine Chen.
"Greetings, Concubine Dowager. I have something urgent to discuss with Prince Chen. Could you please send someone to the Dali Temple to ask the prince to come back?"
Concubine Chen liked Ye Chutang very much and wished that she and her son could stay together every day.
She immediately arranged for her personal maid to go to the Dali Temple to ask for help.
After the nanny left, she took Ye Chutang's hand and asked bluntly, "Miss Ye, you have been close to Zhou'er recently. What do you think of him?"
"Your Highness is a man of both civil and military talents, handsome and thoughtful, and a good man."
Concubine Chen was so happy, "Then you..."
She was just about to ask Ye Chutang if she was willing to marry her son, when she remembered that her son not only had only a few days left to live, but was also incapable of inhumanity.
It's such a pity that such a good girl married into Prince Chen's mansion and became a widow.
So, the words that were about to come out of my mouth were changed.
"Miss Ye, I feel like I have a connection with you. Are you willing to be my goddaughter?"
When the time comes, she will bring Ye Chutang to live permanently in Prince Chen's Mansion.
Let my son see his beloved every day before he dies!
Ye Chutang didn't know Concubine Chen's true thoughts, and was puzzled by her sudden decision to acknowledge her daughter.
Didn’t Concubine Chen want her to be a princess before?
Why did you suddenly let her become your goddaughter?
She immediately declined, "It is my honor to be loved by the Concubine, but the recognition is too sudden, I need to think about it."
To most people, these words would be considered ungrateful.
But Concubine Chen did not blame Ye Chutang.
"It doesn't matter if you don't want to. When you are free, come to Prince Chen's Mansion to chat and have a meal with me."
"Okay, Toffee, would you like to try the flower tea that my daughter made?"
Concubine Chen treats her well, and she is her future mother-in-law. If she can make her happy, there will be no conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law!
"Okay, let's go to the back garden."
When Qi Yanzhou rushed back, Ye Chutang and Concubine Chen were drinking scented tea and chatting happily.
Concubine Chen looked at her son who was sweating profusely and stood up tactfully.
"Tang'er, you chat with Zhou'er. I'll go and arrange lunch. You'll stay for dinner."
Ye Chutang did not refuse, "Thank you for your help, Concubine."
"Don't be so polite. I'm so happy that you're willing to have dinner with me."
When Concubine Chen left, she called away all the servants.
In the huge back garden, only Qi Yanzhou and Ye Chutang were left.
Ye Chutang saw that Concubine Chen had put away the cup she was drinking tea from, so she took a clean one and poured a cup for Qi Yanzhou.
"Please sit down, Your Majesty. What I am about to say may scare you. Have a cup of tea to calm your nerves."
Qi Yanzhou felt uneasy because of Ye Chutang's serious expression and strange words.
He couldn't drink the tea anymore, and immediately asked, "What does Miss Ye want to tell me?"
Ye Chutang thought about his words for a while and went straight to the point.
"I'm pregnant."
“…”
"The child is the prince's."
“…”
"Let's get married!"
“…”
Qi Yanzhou was dumbfounded by Ye Chutang's three sentences.
My mind was in a mess and I had a lot to say, but for a moment I didn't know what to say.
Ye Chutang knew how explosive his words were, and he also knew that Qi Yanzhou would not be able to accept it.
She pushed the teacup towards him and said, "Drink some tea to calm your nerves."
Qi Yanzhou immediately picked up the cup and drank it all.
One cup was not enough, so he drank three cups in a row.
Seeing Qi Yanzhou was terrified, Ye Chutang said, "Don't worry, my lord. The marriage is only temporary. It's a fake marriage. Once we see the Miao witch doctor and he cures your fire poison, we will sign the divorce agreement and you and the witch doctor will live together forever."
I left my father and my son behind, and took the baby away with me.
She didn't say this out loud, as she didn't want to get into a fuss over the child's whereabouts.
Qi Yanzhou put down the cup and looked at Ye Chutang intently. The words of agreeing to the marriage slipped around his lips, but he swallowed them back.
"I'm sorry, but I can't marry you."
Ye Chutang: “…”
Although she had expected this answer, she was still a little surprised that Qi Yanzhou rejected her so directly.
"Don't worry, my lord. I'm not trying to trick you into marriage, nor am I trying to make you take responsibility. I certainly don't want you to be the father of the child. I proposed marriage because I was afraid that I couldn't keep the pregnancy a secret, and the child would be insulted and ridiculed before it was born. If you're worried about the witch doctor misunderstanding me, I can write a letter of guarantee for divorce, and say that the child is not yours, and that you only married me to repay me for saving your life and to cover up the pregnancy for me. That way, you can give the witch doctor an explanation."
Qi Yanzhou saw that Ye Chutang had misunderstood his meaning, and hurriedly explained, "Miss Ye, I don't agree to get married because..."
Ye Chutang became angry when she saw that Qi Yanzhou still refused to get married despite her persuasion.
Without waiting for his explanation, she stood up, grabbed his collar, and declared domineeringly, "You have to accept this marriage whether you want to or not! I'm not discussing it with you, I'm telling you!"
If there wasn't someone behind her trying to ruin her reputation and make her children unable to live a decent life, she would not have gotten married!
Qi Yanzhou quickly comforted Ye Chutang, "Miss Ye, don't get excited, you'll scare the child."
After saying that, his gaze fell on Ye Chutang's flat belly, his eyes extremely gentle.
Ye Chutang felt uncomfortable when Qi Yanzhou looked at her, and was confused by his attitude.
She loosened his collar, sat down and talked about business.
"Let's discuss getting married."
Qi Yanzhou asked, "Miss Ye, Prince Chen's Mansion is about to be exiled, and life on the road to exile will be very hard. Are you sure you want to marry me? If your answer is yes, I am willing to marry you."
He did not agree to the marriage because he did not want Ye Chutang and the child to suffer, not because of the witch doctor.
Thinking of this, he blurted out the explanation that he had been unable to express for a long time.
"The Miao witch doctor was my excuse for rejecting the marriage. She was not my sweetheart. Before returning to Beijing, I had never been attracted to any woman."
After returning to Beijing, my heart is moved by you!
