Chapter 74 Why do I look like your dad?
Pei Changfeng's arms trembled, and he asked again in disbelief, "You mean, I'm going to be a father?"
The doctor was amused by his reaction, "Yes, congratulations on becoming a father."
Pei Changfeng held Su Wanwan's hand, and the scholar who won the imperial examination actually stuttered, "Wanwan, I'm going to be a father, and you're going to be a mother."
Su Wanwan glared at him and said, "I heard you. You've said it many times."
While sailing to see the doctor off, Widow Liu burned incense and prayed to Buddha, "I'm pregnant, I'm pregnant, thank God, I'm finally pregnant."
Su Chaochao lay beside Su Wanwan's bed, not knowing why. "I'm going to be an uncle?"
Pei Changfeng also lay on the bed, "I'm going to be a father."
Su Wanwan didn't know who to answer for a moment. She was feeling very strange at the moment, as there was a new little life in her body.
But for now, I don’t have any consciousness or feelings of being a mother. I just feel it’s wonderful, that’s all.
At night, Pei Changfeng seemed unable to sleep. He would touch Su Wanwan's belly every once in a while. His movements were very gentle, but Su Wanwan still couldn't sleep because of him.
"Are you so happy?" she asked.
"This is our child, so of course I'm happy," Pei Changfeng smiled, "I'm very curious and looking forward to what this child will look like."
"As beautiful as you? Is it a boy or a girl?" Pei Changfeng buried his head in Su Wanwan's neck.
"I don't know. When the day comes, everything will have its results."
Su Wanwan had a sweet smile on her lips. She was looking forward to the arrival of this child, just like Pei Changfeng.
Because the baby in Su Wanwan's belly was still young, Pei Changfeng did not intend to tell everyone in the Marquis' Mansion about this matter, so as not to disturb Su Wanwan. However, even someone as calm as he was could not sit still, and he went to work with a smile on his face the next morning.
Seeing his expression, anyone with eyes could guess that something happy was happening.
But someone asked, but Pei Changfeng didn't answer, which made people feel uncomfortable.
Just when Bai Jitong found out that Pei Changfeng was seeing the sun moxibustion for the 23rd time, he couldn't help but ask, "What good news is it that makes you so anxious to go home?"
Pei Changfeng coughed lightly, "It's hard to say."
"Mysterious," Bai Jitong guessed to himself, "The emperor summoned you yesterday. Did he want to entrust you with an important task? Are you going to leave the Imperial Academy to find a better job? Or did you pick up a stack of banknotes on the road? Tell me quickly, I'm really anxious."
"Okay, then I'll tell you," Pei Changfeng lowered his voice, "Actually, Wanwan is pregnant, and I'm going to be a father. Don't tell anyone else, don't make it public, I don't want anyone to disturb her."
Bai Jitong: "..."
Bai Jitong slammed the book shut, "It's boring!"
Pei Changfeng glanced at him calmly and said, "That's what you want to ask."
Bai Jitong glared at him, then laughed again after a while, "I have already done what you said."
"So fast?" Pei Changfeng was surprised.
Bai Jitong clenched his fists, "If Liao Cheng had drugged you that night, you would have definitely done it faster than me."
Pei Changfeng lowered his eyes and said, "Then wait for good news."
It was the Fourth Princess' 40th birthday, and basically all the important people in the capital had received invitations. Pei Changfeng, as Liao Cheng's current focus, must have received one as well.
Seeing the invitation, Su Wanwan didn't want Pei Changfeng to go, "I always feel that it's not a good thing."
Pei Changfeng squeezed her hand and said, "I'll let you vent your anger. You have to go."
Su Wanwan's eyes lit up, "What are you angry about? Are you talking about the matter of Princess Qingyang? But this is the princess' birthday banquet, we shouldn't do anything."
Pei Changfeng tapped her forehead and said with a smile, "Just wait and see."
Su Wanwan had complete trust in Pei Changfeng. When Pei Changfeng said there would be a good show to watch, she took it seriously. She dressed up beautifully on the day of the princess' birthday banquet and went with him.
The Fourth Prince has been cautious and loyal over the years. Apart from having a dissolute daughter, there has been nothing wrong with him. Unfortunately, Liao Cheng is the only legitimate child, and the Fourth Prince's wife dotes on him too much, so the Fourth Prince has no choice.
Su Wanwan sat down in her seat. Before she bent down, Pei Changfeng held her arm and said, "Be careful, don't hurt your waist."
Su Wanwan couldn't help laughing and couldn't help but said, "The child is not even as big as a ball, how could he hurt his back?"
Pei Changfeng didn't care, "Just be careful. Being careful can save you a lifetime."
"What's the meaning of boat or not? You just keep saying things that are hard for me to understand." Su Wanwan turned her head to look at him, with a sweet smile on her lips, "I want some water."
Pei Changfeng immediately rolled up his sleeves and poured her some water.
Dai, who came to the banquet with her, gritted her teeth. Why was her daughter sent to a nunnery while the culprit was still sitting here? She couldn't swallow this. If it wasn't for the fact that she could still take care of her daughter in private, she would have died of anger on the day Yang Ying got into trouble.
"A golden phoenix flew out of a chicken coop, and she really thought she was a princess. She was able to order people around easily, but she really didn't know her own identity."
Dai's voice was loud, and all the noble ladies around heard it and began to look at Su Wanwan.
Su Wanwan was wearing a lake blue dress today and a set of jade jewelry. She looked elegant, but her face was too bright. But because she was so beautiful, she looked unique and beautiful.
Such a beauty deserves special treatment.
Pei Changfeng frowned and was about to speak to defend Su Wanwan, but Su Wanwan held his hand down.
Su Wanwan smiled and asked Dai, "Aunt, what do you mean by that? I don't quite understand."
When women hear people say this, they will usually lower their heads in shame, but few would ask in such a direct way.
There were many people watching the show.
Under the glare of Madam Yang, Dai said in a hateful voice: "Whoever says it knows it!"
Su Wanwan smiled, "I can't help it. My husband is doing well. He can live a good life with me."
Pei Changfeng held her hand and said to Dai: "Aunt, Wanwan is my wife. We should prosper together. Please don't say such things again in the future."
Dai wanted to say more, but Yang Yuanwen glared at her fiercely, "That's enough, you still think it's not shameful enough! How can you treat your aunt like this?"
Dai was angry. She was angry that she didn't know the person well enough, that the person beside her was cold and heartless, and that she was helpless. "Okay, you all bully me! You all bully me!"
Madam Yang Hou said, "The Second Madam is not feeling well. Someone, please send her back first."
Dai was taken away, and Su Wanwan had no time to care about what others were thinking. She didn't care much about other people's opinions, only about her own feelings.
Pei Changfeng picked up a piece of duck meat for her, and she ate it with relish. After eating for a while, she felt it was a bit spicy, "Why is today's food so spicy?"
"It's not spicy, you just think it's spicy. How about something sour?"
Su Wanwan suddenly felt something, "Are you testing whether I'm pregnant with a boy or a girl?"
Pei Changfeng denied, "No."
Su Wanwan stared at him for a while, but couldn't figure out what he was saying. It seemed like he really wasn't lying, so she stopped asking and just looked forward to the good show that Pei Changfeng talked about starting soon. She was very curious about what the show was and how it would be performed.
Today is indeed a big day for the palace. Even if Liao Cheng is not very reasonable, he would not choose to do anything today.
She was entertaining guests with her mother when a note was suddenly slipped into her hand.
Liao Cheng walked to the side room, looked down, and frowned, "What's wrong with this Zheng Rong? Why does he want to see me now?"
She tore up the note, not yet so stupid as to be a jerk today.
Liao Cheng was about to step out when she suddenly felt a heat in her throat. She took two sips of herbal tea, but it didn't get better, and the heat became even worse.
"What's going on?" Liao Cheng often used these drugs to help him feel good. When he had this feeling for a moment, how could he not guess that he was being tricked?
She pinched her palms tightly and her breathing became rapid.
A stage was set up in the backyard, and the most famous troupe in the capital was invited to perform.
The Fourth Princess had not seen Liao Cheng for a long time, so she couldn't help but wonder, "Where has this kid gone to play again?"
The Fourth Prince snorted coldly, "Just spoil her."
"You speak as if you are not used to it," the Fourth Princess laughed, "It's a pity that our Cheng'er is a woman. If she were a man, I don't know how romantic and suave she would be."
The Fourth Prince shook his head and was speechless for a moment.
There was singing on the stage, and Bai Jitong said to Pei Changfeng: "The show is about to begin."
Pei Changfeng curled up the corners of his lips into a smile and adjusted the cushion on Su Wanwan's backrest.
The curtain behind the stage suddenly shook, and the actors dodged and fled in all directions as if they had seen a ghost.
Everyone looked over there intently.
The fourth prince asked his attendant, "What's going on?"
The followers also shook their heads.
Everyone who went to the palace to check was horrified, and then they heard a loud gong and drum sound.
The curtain was torn down, and Liao Cheng, with disheveled clothes, was riding on a man who had fainted. He seemed to be unaware of the world and was in a state of ecstasy.
For a moment, everything in the world was silent, and everyone stared at the absurd scene before them in amazement.
After someone screamed first, everyone in the palace rushed forward to cover up Liao Cheng's shame. The Fourth Princess and the Fourth Prince fainted one after another.
Su Wanwan realized what was happening and looked at Pei Changfeng, only to see him looking down at her, "You..."
Pei Changfeng smiled, "How?"
Su Wanwan couldn't explain how she felt. Wasn't this kind of revenge a little too much?
She opened her lips, but was led away from this troubled place by the hand.
It was not until they got on the carriage back that Su Wanwan asked, "Did you do this?"
Pei Changfeng touched her face and said, "No."
If he says no, Su Wanwan will believe it.
Su Wanwan leaned into his arms and said, "It's good that it's not the case. I just think that this is too much. If it's just for revenge..."
"No," Pei Changfeng kissed her forehead, "Don't think too much, this is not what I did. I just knew there was a show to watch, but I wasn't the one who planned the specific content of this show."
Su Wanwan raised her head, looked at his face, then lowered her head again. She felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach and covered her mouth with her hands and retched.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Pei Changfeng poured her some water. "It's all my fault. I should have asked you what the matter was in advance. I wouldn't have scared you."
After drinking the water, Su Wanwan felt a little better. She expressed her thoughts, "I don't feel sorry for her. I just think that even if we want revenge, we can find another way."
Her long eyelashes trembled and she didn't know what to say. She pursed her lips and simply stopped talking.
Pei Changfeng touched her hair and said, "Yes, this really shouldn't be the case."
There was a faint smile in his eyes, which only became stronger when he saw Su Wanwan.
Inside the palace.
When Liao Cheng woke up, she knew that she had been plotted against, but she couldn't figure out who had designed this sinister scheme, which made her lose face in front of all the powerful people in Beijing.
"Who on earth is it..." she muttered to herself.
When the Fourth Prince came in, he saw her in this crazy state.
"Father," Liao Cheng knelt down, "my daughter was framed."
As soon as she finished speaking, she was slapped in the face. The Fourth Prince was so angry that he pounded his chest, "What sin did I commit in my previous life to give birth to such a sinner like you! Aren't the things you do every day shameful enough? How dare you do such a ridiculous thing in front of so many people today!"
Liao Cheng cried, crawling on her knees and hugging the Fourth Prince's legs, "Father, you must believe in me. I am not so confused about right and wrong. I was framed. You must stand up for me!"
"You evil creature!" The Fourth Prince slapped Liao Cheng again, "Pack your clothes quickly and get out of here to the farm now. Don't ever come back in this lifetime!"
"I won't!" Liao Cheng stood up, "My daughter must find out who did it, otherwise she will never accept it even if she dies!"
"You!" The Fourth Prince sighed, but he could do nothing about it. "You are not a child anymore, can you understand a little bit? If this happens to you, your mother and I will never be able to hold our heads up in the capital again."
Liao Cheng's eyes were filled with resentment. "The more this happens, the more I want to find out who did this!"
After Liao Cheng's incident, the whole capital will have no shortage of topics to talk about for the next month.
Su Wanwan's belly was three months pregnant and some outlines could be seen. Widow Liu was sure that it was a boy, but Pei Changfeng didn't think so. He thought it should be a girl.
Su Wanwan didn't have any obsession with the gender of the child. After all, it was her first child, so it didn't matter whether it was a boy or a girl.
"I heard that General Weiyuan will be returning to the capital in the next two days?" Widow Liu asked Pei Changfeng, "Do you know about this?"
"I know," Pei Changfeng said, "but I heard that the general will go pick up his wife and daughter first and then return to the capital together. I don't know the details."
"I see," Widow Liu smiled, "I will go to the city gate to see the general on his triumphant return. I have never seen the general in my life."
Su Wanwan immediately said, "I want to go and see too. I'm almost suffocating staying at home all day."
So, the two hit it off, and on the day when General Weiyuan entered the capital, the mother and daughter went there together.
Widow Liu saw a man riding a tall horse from a distance. She smiled and said to Su Wanwan, "It's really strange. Why does this general look so much like your father?"
