"Perhaps things in this world are never perfect, and there are never so many good things. Most of the children born to Zhao Jia died young or died prematurely, and in the end, only one or two were left. In the end, she suffered the pain of a white-haired person sending off a black-haired person."
You are my most precious little sister, how could I bear to see you suffer like this? That's why I repeatedly told you not to have children too early before you got married.
I was afraid that you would lose control of your emotions. When I learned that you had developed feelings for Uncle Thirteen and agreed to have a child with him, I took advantage of the fact that you had been spending a lot of time with your sister from your maternal family and neglecting Uncle Thirteen. I had Chunrui deliberately seduce Uncle Thirteen, causing you and Uncle Thirteen to fall out.
As long as you don't have his child, I'm confident you can live a good life. With your resilient nature, you can handle anything. It's just that you're always vulnerable in relationships, and I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it. I didn't expect you to find out so quickly; you actually trusted Uncle Thirteen to such an extent.
He Yue remained speechless for a long time, staring blankly into space.
So that's how it is.
Did they all die young?
If that's the outcome, she'd rather not have children and not have to endure the pain of separation from her own flesh and blood.
She had only just agreed to have a child for Thirteen.
Indeed, nothing in this world is ever perfect; my sister is right.
The Eighth Prince's wife reached out and held her hand, comforting her: "I'm telling you now in the hope that you can think things through and not let your emotions cloud your judgment. I'm destined to never have children, so I can't understand the pain of separation between mother and child, but I can't bear to see you suffer any grievances. Now that the Thirteenth Prince is good to you, I'm relieved. Even if I have children later, I think the Thirteenth Prince will accept it."
Heyue lowered her eyes, grasped her hand tightly, and said, "Sister, I understand. I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" The Eighth Princess Consort chuckled. "I know that what I'm doing is not honorable, and you'll surely blame me if you find out. But even if you resent me, I'll still do it because you are my only sister. In this world, you and I are ultimately the closest people."
He Yue's heart skipped a beat, and she felt even more guilty. No matter what, she shouldn't have doubted her sister's heart.
Back at the mansion, Heyue sat alone in the courtyard, lost in thought. She had hoped to fulfill Thirteen's wish to become a father, and she herself had longed for a child, but now she was destined to be disappointed.
She herself didn't care, but she didn't know what Thirteen's attitude was, or whether he was willing to accept this result.
It's just that he'll have children later. I think he'll agree, but the palace won't. If Thirteen has no children, there will be a constant stream of women entering the mansion.
Does he also yearn to have children as soon as possible?
He'll be disappointed eventually, won't he?
She didn't want him to have a child with another woman, but if he really did have a child with another woman, just thinking about it made Heyue feel a lump in her throat, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.
She sighed and made up her mind to test him when he returned.
If he really wants a child, Heyue won't blame him, but ultimately...
I cannot accept it emotionally.
Picking up a cherry, the sweet and sour taste filled my mouth, slightly easing the bitterness in my heart.
He Yue remembered something, called Hai Lan over, and gave her some instructions: "Release Chun Rui, give her some silver, and send her out of the mansion."
"Huh?" Hailan was puzzled and annoyed. "Madam, are you just going to let her off like this?"
He Yue nodded, eating cherries while muttering to herself, "One should be lenient when possible, let it go."
Although Hailan was dissatisfied, she ultimately did not oppose it to the end. After all, they were sisters. She was indignant but also relieved.
Perhaps this outcome is for the best.
Chunrui asked to see her, but Heyue refused.
Hailan returned and said, "Chunrui said she was grateful for the Fujin's forgiveness and apologized for what she had done in the past, hoping that the Fujin could forgive her."
Whether she felt apologetic or not, Heyue didn't care.
Ultimately, the deed was done; she didn't have the magnanimity to tolerate such betrayal.
We're only releasing her now because of my sister.
That evening, after taking a bath, Heyue, wearing a red undergarment that accentuated her curves, climbed into bed and, like a seductive enchantress, wrapped her arms around Thirteen's neck, smiling charmingly.
Thirteen swallowed hard, his eyes wide with admiration. He put down the book in his hand and hugged her tightly.
He Yue hooked his chin with her index finger, looked down at him, and spoke with a serious face when he couldn't hold back any longer: "I have something to ask you, answer honestly."
Thirteen nodded hastily, having no other capacity for thought. His gaze was fixed on her slender, exquisite curves, as if he were ready to pounce on her at any moment. However, He Yue held his shoulder, preventing her from getting any closer, and kept a certain distance from him.
This made him very unhappy, but he dared not retaliate.
"Am I pretty?" Heyue asked with a smile.
Thirteen's eyes lit up, and he nodded.
He was pleased and asked again, "Do you really want it?"
Thirteen nodded again, then reached out his wolf claws to attack her chest, only to have them swatted away by He Yue. He Yue blinked her watery eyes and looked at her with a wronged expression.
He Yue's eyelids twitched, but she forced herself to ignore it. She tapped his chest with her index finger, drawing circles, and continued to ask with a smile, "If I never have children, will you stay with other women for the sake of having offspring?"
Thirteen opened his eyes wide and shook his head repeatedly.
He Yue laughed even more heartily: "Good, remember your answer, you are never allowed to touch another woman, not even for the sake of having offspring, otherwise..." Her face turned cold, her eyes flashing with murderous intent: "You know the consequences!"
Thirteen swallowed hard, startled by the murderous glint in her eyes, but quickly grinned and said, "Don't worry, my lady, I only want you."
He reached out and kneaded her waist, gazing longingly at her delicate collarbone, before flipping her over and pressing down on her.
