Chapter 249 I am willing to marry Miss Xiao
Chunxi was caught off guard by the sudden diagnosis of pregnancy, but Princess Hengyang calmed down because she had someone to keep her company.
After the doctor's diagnosis, Princess Hengyang was also pregnant, and the two were about the same age.
Princess Hengyang paid the doctor three times the consultation fee and asked him to keep it secret. When she returned to the carriage, she immediately asked Chunxi, "Do you want this child?"
Chunxi hadn't recovered from the shock of being a mother in the near future, so she said without hesitation, "Of course."
Although this happened suddenly, she and the adults both wanted a child. Now that they have a child, they naturally want to give birth to it safely.
Taking two deep breaths to steady himself, Chunxi asked, "Princess, don't you want it?"
Princess Hengyang pursed her lips.
She was still a little undecided.
Only when she was pregnant, she was very panicked and scared, but now that she knew Chunxi was also pregnant, she felt that she had someone to keep her company, so she was not so scared anymore.
However, her feelings for Wen Yanshu were not as good as Chunxi's for Shen Qingyuan. She felt inexplicably unwilling to have children for this man.
After a long while, Princess Hengyang said, "Let me think about it again."
Princess Hengyang sent Chunxi home before leaving.
In the main courtyard, Shen Qingyuan had already taken a bath and was reading a book. Seeing Chunxi come back, he immediately put down the book and walked over: "Have you settled the princess's affairs? Can you tell me what it is?"
Shen Qingyuan was a little unhappy because his mood was suddenly interrupted, but after calming down, he felt it was very strange. Princess Hengyang was of noble status and could walk around freely in Zhaoling. What could be so difficult that she couldn't solve it that she had to come to the Xiao family to find Chunxi in the middle of the night?
Shen Qingyuan was worried when he suddenly heard Chunxi say, "Husband, I'm pregnant."
Shen Qingyuan was shocked and stood there in a daze. After a long while, he asked, "What did you just say?"
Shen Qingyuan tried his best to remain calm, but his voice was obviously trembling, which showed that he was greatly shocked by the news.
Chunxi raised her head and looked at him with a smile: "I said I'm pregnant, and in a few months my husband will be a father."
After Chunxi said this, Shen Qingyuan fell silent again. He looked Chunxi up and down several times, as if he didn't recognize her anymore.
Chunxi couldn't help teasing him: "Why don't you say anything, husband? But you don't like this child, then I... well!"
Before she could finish her words, Shen Qingyuan reached out and covered her mouth: "I like it. Madam, you will have to work hard in the next few months. Don't worry, Madam, I will hire the best doctors and midwives. If anything happens, I will let them take care of the child. Tomorrow I will take leave to accompany Madam to buy two suitable maids to serve us. Then I will ask someone to select a suitable wet nurse to help take care of the child. When the child is older, I will personally teach him..."
Shen Qingyuan had just learned of the pregnancy, and he had already thought about everything in the future. Chunxi pulled his hand down and couldn't help laughing: "We don't even know if it's a boy or a girl yet. Isn't it too early for you to say this, my husband?"
"Not early," Shen Qingyuan said seriously, "regardless of whether they are boys or girls, I will teach them the basics. Not only will they learn to read and write, but they will also learn martial arts, just like my father-in-law taught my wife."
Shen Qingyuan called his father-in-law quite naturally, and Chunxi's heart, which was originally a little dazed and confused, suddenly settled down.
She thought that she and the adults would be good parents, and her children would live happily and freely and would be happier than she was.
Although Chunxi did not show any signs of pregnancy, Shen Qingyuan was still much more cautious and even had to watch her behind the screen while she was bathing.
After taking a bath, Shen Qingyuan personally helped Chunxi to braid her hair and told her not to eat cold food or climb up and down recently. She was even more forbidden to fight with others or ride horses and shoot arrows like before.
Chunxi agreed to all of them, and was a little sleepy from being talked about by Shen Qingyuan. In a daze, she suddenly heard Shen Qingyuan ask: "By the way, why did you suddenly go to the clinic with the princess?"
Even her husband didn't know she was pregnant, so how could Princess Hengyang have predicted it?
Chunxi suddenly opened her eyes and saw Shen Qingyuan staring at her thoughtfully.
Chunxi: “…”
Princess, I didn't mean to tell on purpose. You know my husband has more than ten years of experience in handling cases, so I really can't hide it from him.
Chunxi and Shen Qingyuan fell asleep in the joy of pregnancy, but the Wei family was shrouded in dark clouds.
Wei's father and Yun took Wei Lingze to the Mu family to ask for Mu's forgiveness, but Mu was like a madman and refused to listen.
Her only son became a cripple, his life was ruined, and he was almost killed on the way back. She would not give up until she destroyed Wei Lingze even at the cost of her own life.
The two sides failed to reach an agreement, and the three were kicked out of the Mu family.
On the second day, the news that Mu went to the Xiao family to cause trouble, forced Xiao Qingyue to commit suicide, and caused Old Madam Xiao to faint from anger spread throughout the streets and alleys.
The envoys have not left yet, and Wei Lingze still has to go to the palace to take up duty.
When he arrived, he happened to hear several colleagues discussing this matter.
"The Wei family is truly wicked. Their own son is paralyzed in bed and they don't know if he can even stand up. Instead of breaking off the engagement, they're dragging Miss Xiao along. They're even secretly trying to find someone to bear Wei Lingze's child. They're treating the Xiao family like fools."
"That's right. Before the Xiao family postponed the wedding, many people went to the Xiao family to act as matchmakers, trying to persuade Miss Xiao to marry someone else, but Miss Xiao refused to do so and insisted on marrying him. As a result, he didn't cherish her at all. If the two families break off the relationship, with Miss Xiao's character and appearance, even if she is a second wife, I'm afraid there will be many people who want to marry her."
"Who says it's not true? I am willing to marry Miss Xiao. With her pretty face and figure, how many people in Hanjing can compare to her?"
As soon as these words were spoken, several people couldn't help but show greedy expressions.
I don’t know what such a beautiful and well-behaved woman tastes like.
Although it's a pity that she is not perfect, a trained young woman is often more interesting than a young girl who knows nothing.
As a man, Wei Lingze knew what these people were thinking at a glance.
He angrily stepped forward and punched the man who had just said he was willing to marry Xiao Qinghe: "Who do you think you are? How dare you covet my wife? I tell you, she is mine, she will be mine for eternity, and we will never divorce!"
Wei Lingze was so angry that his eyes turned red. He punched people one after another as if he wanted to beat them to death. The people next to him who tried to stop the fight were also beaten by him. Several people also got angry and started fighting with Wei Lingze.
The noise was so loud that the prince rushed over after hearing the news.
After being pulled away by the Imperial Guards, Wei Lingze was still not satisfied and shouted loudly: "Let me go, I want to kill him!"
In broad daylight, "Inside the Imperial Palace, Lord Wei actually dared to kill someone right in front of this prince. What a grand display!"
After hearing the prince's voice, Wei Lingze calmed down. He was about to salute, but when he turned his head, he found that Shen Qingyuan was standing behind the prince, and he saw his embarrassing behavior.
