The next day, Heyue lay on the chaise longue in the room, while Irgen Gioro sat beside her, sewing a tiger-head hat for the baby and talking to Heyue.
Zhizhu offered a cherry to Heyue's lips.
Heyue opened her mouth, eating cherries, and looked at her mother's fine needlework, feeling ashamed.
Despite her fierce and ungentle demeanor, her needlework skills far surpass those of Heyue.
I was indeed completely useless.
Mother joked that Heyue only inherited her domineering nature and didn't learn anything else.
He Yue thought to himself, "They weren't the same people to begin with, how could they possibly know each other?"
Regarding the fact that she had taken Zhao Jia and Yue's bodies, Yue went from feeling guilty when she first found out to being calm and composed, and it didn't take long for her to change her mind.
In fact, He Yue is not a selfless and great person.
On the contrary, she was very selfish. She felt guilty towards Zhao Jia and Yue, but not enough for Yue to spend her whole life repenting or even sacrificing her own happiness to make amends.
Knowing this made Heyue even more eager to be filial to her parents. She was truly happy to be able to live with them in such a place and have the opportunity to spend more time with them.
This kind of family bliss had been absent for a long time before coming here.
No matter what, she would do everything in her power to protect her family, her father, her mother, and her younger brother.
This was the only thing Heyue could do for the original owner.
Thinking of Guan Zhu, He Yue couldn't help but ask about his marriage: "Mother, Guan Zhu is left alone in the capital, what will happen to his marriage?"
When his father and mother first arrived in Yangzhou last year, Guanzhu was still young. Of course, in the eyes of people in this era, fifteen years old is already quite old.
However, He Yue still regarded Guan Zhu as a child, so she did not ask about it at the time.
Now a year has passed, and according to the customs of this era, Guan Zhu should be of marriageable age.
Now that Thirteen has outwardly fallen out of favor, Heyue can't help Guanzhu, and Father has also resigned from his official post. It's uncertain whether Guanzhu will be able to marry into a decent family.
Irgen Gioro was not worried: "You don't need to worry about that. Your father and I have already discussed your brother's marriage. We don't need a very noble family. As long as the other party is virtuous and good at managing the household, that's enough."
After you give birth and the baby is 100 days old, your father and I will go back to Beijing to take care of things, and then we'll come back to be with you.
Judging from her mother's tone, Heyue knew she wouldn't find a suitable family to marry into.
After all, apart from his father, no one in the Zhaojia clan held a high-ranking official position. Originally, as the Thirteenth Prince's wife, Heyue could have arranged a better marriage for Guanzhu, which would have at least been a great help to him in the future.
But now, Heyue can't help at all, and because of her own affairs, her father has resigned from his post, so she can't help Guanzhu anymore.
Heyue didn't care about the woman's social status, as long as Guanzhu liked her. However, Guanzhu's marriage directly affected the future of the Zhaojia clan, so his father must have cared about it too. Guanzhu himself probably didn't want to fail in his career either.
Heyue could not rest easy if she could not help them.
The only solution is to postpone the marriage until Guanzhu becomes successful, and then find a suitable family for him.
Anyway, Guan Zhu is only sixteen years old now.
"How about we wait a few more years? Guan Zhu is still young. When Thirteen was teaching him kung fu, he saw that Guan Zhu was a promising talent with unlimited potential. Fourteenth Master's foundation is not deep, and I am not comfortable with him staying under Fourteenth Master's command. How about I discuss it with Thirteen and ask Fourth Brother to find him a suitable military position? After two or three years, when things are more stable, more people will propose marriage."
After much deliberation, He Yue decided to use this method.
Although it would cause some trouble for Fourth Brother and go against He Yue's original intention, as long as Guan Zhu is doing well and the Zhao Jia clan is doing well, He Yue can let Thirteen give it a try.
Irgen Gioro suddenly frowned and scolded, "This matter is not to be mentioned again, nor is it to be told to the Thirteenth Prince. Your father and I will take care of Guan Zhu's matter."
Heyue was surprised by her mother's strong opposition, but she still wouldn't give up.
She had never done anything for her family since she was a child, but as Guanzhu's older sister, she should at least help him.
Irgen Gioro knew she was stubborn, and with a cold face advised her: "Don't think that just because you are a prince's wife you can do whatever you want. The Thirteenth Prince is going through a difficult time right now, and you can't give him any leverage over this."
If your father and I cared about these things, your father wouldn't have resigned from his post in the first place. It was precisely because he didn't want to get involved in those struggles that your father chose to withdraw.
Putting aside the Thirteenth Prince, even for Guan Zhu's sake, this is unacceptable. If Guan Zhu receives help from others, he will be forced to get involved in those troubles, which is something your father and I would never want to see.
"The Zhaojia clan is doing well now, you and your sisters and brothers-in-law are doing well, and Guanzhu is doing well too. We are already content."
After hearing her mother's words, Heyue realized that she had been thinking too simply and had forgotten this point.
Indeed, when you receive a favor, you must give something in return, even if the other party is your close friend, your fourth brother.
If Guan Zhu succeeds with the help of his fourth brother, he will definitely do things for his fourth brother.
Although Heyue was determined to help her fourth brother, she did not want her family to get involved.
"Alright, alright, I won't mention it again," He Yue said with an embarrassed smile, admitting her mistake.
Irgen Gioro breathed a sigh of relief, then chuckled, "You child, you're still so bold, saying such things. The Thirteenth Prince has spoiled you too much."
"Your mother understands your feelings, but everyone has their own destiny, and not everything can go as planned. You just need to live your own life well."
Heyue nodded with a smile: "Mother, don't worry, Thirteen and I will be fine."
At this moment, Hailan came in and reported, "Madam, someone from Zhang's Medical Clinic has arrived with medicine to prevent miscarriage."
"Who came?" He Yue asked in surprise. In the past, Thirteen would pick them up himself. Why did they bring them over today?
"It's Master Li, the nephew of Manager Zhang."
Early this morning, Thirteen went out. He had said he was going out yesterday. He Yue didn't know where he was going, but he seemed to be able to come back that night. So he took only Li Shun'er with him and some travel money and set off on horseback.
Ama then went to the prefectural government office.
There are only women in the house now, so it's really not convenient for Heyue to see them.
However, since Manager Zhang and Thirteen were close friends, He Yue was afraid of neglecting them, so she instructed, "Let him in."
Fortunately, it wasn't just Heyue; her mother was there too, so even if they met, it wouldn't be a big deal.
Not long after, a young man in his early twenties, led by Hailan, walked over from a distance, carrying three bags of medicine wrapped in kraft paper.
He Yue saw that Zhang's nephew was tall, handsome, and had a gentle demeanor, and couldn't help but admire him, saying that Zhang's family had good genes.
"Shaoqiu greets Madam Jin. Is Madam Jin well?" The visitor bowed and smiled warmly.
"I'm fine. You're Manager Zhang's nephew? Did Manager Zhang send you?" Heyue asked with a smile.
