Chapter 309 Wen Rufeng, that ball of blood is your only child in this life
Because Wei Si was restored to the throne, Empress Mei held a banquet for her in Mingzhu Palace in accordance with palace rules and invited many guests.
Wen Xingluo didn't like her mother becoming Xie Zhe's concubine, so she refused to join in such a lively atmosphere, and was even more unwilling to pay attention to the guests. She just sat alone in the corner and drank tea.
Xie Xuchi sat down beside her, "Unhappy?"
Wen Xingluo glanced at his beautiful phoenix eyes, then looked away without leaving a trace.
"cousin."
Wei Ying and Xie Zan also came over.
Wen Xingluo felt a little better when she saw Wei Ying, "Cousin."
Wei Ying put a chicken drumstick into her bowl and said, "Don't be unhappy."
Xie Zan lazily propped up his face and looked at Wen Rufeng who was not far away. "He keeps repeating the same thing. Isn't he annoying?"
Wen Xingluo followed Xie Zan's gaze and saw Wen Rufeng, who was welcoming guests with a cheerful smile.
Noticing them, Wen Rufeng walked over with a smile.
Before he even got close, he raised his hand and pressed it down, politely making a "no need to stand up" gesture, and humbly said, "Although I have been appointed Minister of Works, today is my mother's wedding day after all. You must not show me excessive respect! Haha, yes, my mother was indeed restored to the throne because of my outstanding political achievements!"
Wen Xingluo felt suffocated.
None of them asked Wen Rufeng these questions!
At this moment, the young eunuch outside the palace suddenly sang:
"Concubine Zhang has arrived—"
There was silence in the hall for a moment, and everyone looked towards the door.
Since Xie Xiang's death, Concubine Zhang has not appeared in public for many days.
She and Wei Si are sworn enemies, but she actually came here today to celebrate Wei Si's restoration. I'm afraid she is just trying to please the poor guy with ulterior motives.
Concubine Zhang greeted all kinds of gazes and stepped into the palace with a smile, "I have come here specially to celebrate for my sister today."
Wei Si said calmly, "Please take your seat, Imperial Concubine."
"Don't worry. I brought a gift for my sister." Concubine Zhang said, moving aside.
Behind her was a young woman.
The woman came forward timidly, carrying a bag on her back.
Wen Xingluo was surprised, "Xu Miaomiao?"
As soon as Xu Miaomiao saw Wen Rufeng, she rushed over, choking with sobs, "Feng Lang! Not long after you left Rongcheng, I found out I was pregnant. You're going to be a father soon!"
Concubine Zhang said meaningfully, "My dear sister, congratulations, you are going to be a grandmother! I wonder if you like this gift from me?"
Wei Si's face was calm.
Concubine Zhang chose to come here today specifically, and it was definitely not just to send Xu Miaomiao off.
She must have a backup plan.
But Wen Rufeng was dumbfounded.
He subconsciously looked towards the table where Miss Wang was sitting, but saw the girl's face turn pale. She stood up and asked, "Feng Lang, what on earth is going on?! Didn't you say you didn't have a wife or concubines?!"
"I--"
Wen Rufeng became anxious.
The Marquis's Mansion is quite influential in the court, and it is a very good marriage. He absolutely cannot lose his powerful father-in-law!
He simply pushed Xu Miaomiao away and walked towards Miss Wang anxiously, "Baoer, listen to my explanation!"
However, just as he took a few steps, he heard wailing behind him.
Xu Miaomiao fell to the ground, holding her stomach and groaning in pain.
Concubine Zhang pointed at her lower body in horror and said, "Look, she's bleeding so much!"
She shouted this, but her eyes were full of gloating.
Before coming to Mingzhu Palace, she calculated the time and put a lot of abortion pills in Xu Miaomiao's tea, waiting to give Wei Si a "surprise" at the banquet.
She looked at Wei Si maliciously, her expression and voice extremely exaggerated, "Sister, your precious grandson is gone! What should I do now?"
Although Wei Si did not like Xu Miaomiao, she could not, as a woman herself, remain indifferent when seeing another woman having a miscarriage.
She frowned and said, "Excuse me, Imperial Physician."
"She's lost so much blood. I'm afraid even the imperial physician wouldn't be able to save her." Concubine Zhang sighed pretentiously. "It reminds me of Xiang'er. The night Xiang'er died, many imperial physicians came, but none of them could save her... My dear sister, we share the same suffering. I understand how you feel."
Wei Si didn't bother to deal with her sarcasm and said to Wen Rufeng, "You should go see Miss Xu."
Wen Rufeng was coaxing Miss Wang. Upon hearing this, he said righteously, "Has mother forgotten? We've been away from Rongcheng for several months. Who knows if Xu Miaomiao is pregnant with my child? Even if she is, according to the rules of aristocratic families, there shouldn't be a bastard child before a legitimate son. Even if Xu Miaomiao doesn't have a miscarriage today, I'll still give her a bowl of safflower tomorrow!"
The young man spoke righteously, as if the child in Xu Miaomiao's belly was some kind of sin.
Xu Miaomiao's little face was as pale as paper.
She raised her eyelashes with difficulty and looked at Wen Rufeng in disbelief.
After a long moment, her lips trembled, tears streaming down her face as she broke down and complained, "I've been with you for so long, I even severed ties with my family for you. Is this even human language?!"
Wen Rufeng turned his head away, not wanting to look at her.
Xu Miaomiao choked up, "Do you know what kind of life I've been leading at home these past few months?! Everyone looks down on me. They say I made a mistake by marrying a useless loser! Even the maids and servants dare to gossip about me behind my back!
"I was so happy to learn that you were entering the imperial court. I knew that my judgment must be correct and that you must be someone with great potential! So I secretly came to the capital without telling my parents, just to give you a surprise! But, how could you do this to me?!
"Feng Lang, I'm pregnant with your own flesh and blood, your own flesh and blood!"
The woman looked haggard and her voice was hoarse.
Concubine Zhang admired the pool of blood and laughed, "What a pity! My first grandson has now become a completely stained pool of blood. My sister killed my daughters Xiang'er and Rui'er, and then stole the crown prince from me. It's hard to say this isn't retribution."
Xie Xuchi looked at her with a complicated expression and reminded her, "Your Highness, it's best not to gloat over other people's misfortunes."
"Shut up!" Concubine Zhang screamed, "You betrayed me and your brothers and sisters. You have no right to tell me what to do!"
Xie Xuchi silently withdrew his gaze and ignored her.
Wen Xingluo looked at Xu Miaomiao quietly.
She thought Xu Miaomiao had escaped the fate of her previous life.
Unexpectedly...
She walked silently to Xu Miaomiao, took the cloak from Cuicui, and gently covered her with it to hide the blood stain on her skirt.
She doesn't like Xu Miaomiao.
But she believed that childbirth was a sacred thing, and all mothers in the world were gods who created life. At least at this moment, Xu Miaomiao should be respected.
She said, "Miss Xu, you shouldn't have come to the capital."
Xu Miaomiao looked at her blankly with tears in her eyes.
It seemed as if she couldn't understand why, among all the powerful people in the hall, only Wen Xingluo - only this girl whom she had cursed and suppressed in the past - covered up her embarrassment.
Big tears fell.
She pinched the edge of her cloak, her voice trembling and almost inaudible, "Yes, I'm sorry..."
Wen Ruyun sneered and pointed his folding fan at Wen Xingluo, "I knew you were good at pretending to be nice in front of outsiders! Don't you think it's disgusting?"
Wen Rufeng glared at Wen Xingluo with disdain, then ordered the maid, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry and carry Xu Miaomiao away! Covered in blood, it's really bad luck!"
Wen Xingluo looked at him.
He is her elder brother by blood.
She knew he was mean, selfish, and full of problems.
However, when faced with the abortion of his child, he was not only indifferent but even secretly felt relieved.
What is the difference between him and Xie Zhe?
The girl said softly, "Wen Rufeng, that ball of dirty blood is the only child you will have in this life."
