Liu Jia did not let go of the cat. In her opinion, the cat wanted to be hugged, and her aunt also wanted to rub against it.
"Aunt, I will come to see you." Liu Jia said.
"Okay." Liu Yulian touched her little niece's head. The little niece was very well-behaved.
"When I grow up, I will help my aunt." Liu Jia said.
"Okay, I'll wait until you grow up." Liu Yulian smiled.
That night, Liu Yulian stayed with her niece, though they didn't share a bed. Liu Yulian wasn't sure she was a good sleeper, and worried her niece would get cold if she rolled up the quilt, so she let her niece sleep in the bedroom while she slept on the small couch in the outer room.
The next morning, Liu Yulian woke up early. She had to prepare to leave and couldn't sleep all day.
Liu Yulian didn't bring much with her, just some medicine and a few sets of clothes. She wasn't going to the beach just for fun, and as for cooking utensils, that wasn't a big deal; she could buy them once she got there.
"If you're not used to staying here, or if you're not feeling well, come back early," Liu's mother warned Liu Yulian. "Don't always think about getting things done. It doesn't matter if you're not watching over them."
"Just think of it as a vacation," Liu Yulian consoled her mother. "I'm not out in the sea all day, doing those things all the time. It's mostly the people around me who do it; I'm just watching."
"If you want to take a look, you have to take a look several times. It won't be over in one or two days." Liu's mother didn't think her daughter would just take a look.
"Those things have to be done slowly. They can't be accomplished all at once." Liu Yulian said, "Don't worry, my daughter won't suffer any loss."
"..."Mother Liu thought to herself, is this a disadvantage?
Forget it, my daughter wants to go to the beach, so let’s go.
At least the place their daughter is going this time is not too far from the capital, so they can go and see their daughter then.
Liu Yulian went out and met up with He Xiyuan and the others. The Third Prince had also arrived. He didn't dare to bring too much luggage, as he was afraid that if he brought too much, it would cause dissatisfaction with the emperor and that the emperor would think he was not going to do his job.
The group set off together, and the third prince didn't dare to say much to Liu Yulian.
This time, there were also women accompanying Liu Yulian, including her maids and female researchers from the research institute. The trip to the beach wasn't long, just a few months, and Liu Yulian planned to give the female researchers some exercise.
Lest some people always think that those things are only men can do, and it is not easy for women to do them well and better than men.
There are more men, which means they have a higher chance of success; there are fewer women, so it is more difficult for women to succeed.
Miss Xue went to Hainan, so Liu Yulian took Miss Duan with her first. The main reason was that Miss Duan had never suffered much hardship, so she wanted to let her experience the hardship there.
As for the other woman, who was born into a common family, Liu Yulian still let her stay in the research institute to continue to familiarize herself with those things. It wasn't that Liu Yulian treated them differently, but rather that they each had different characteristics.
The girl from the Duan family followed Liu Yulian to the beach not to enjoy herself, but to do some trivial things.
He Xiyuan did not ask about who Liu Yulian brought to the beach. Liu Yulian was the director of the research institute, and she could take whoever Liu Yulian wanted.
In Shiyuan Village, Liu Yanqing was taking care of his daughter in the yard, and he was reading the contents of the book to her.
"She is still so young, how could she understand." Lin Xiaowan was speechless about Liu Yanqing's behavior. The child was still so young, how could she understand.
What can a baby of a few months old do? Just drink milk and cry bitterly.
"It's because she's so young that I have to read to her. It doesn't matter whether she understands or not, what matters is that she heard it." Liu Yanqing said, "Maybe she'll find these contents interesting in the future and learn them. My little sister has loved reading since she was very young. She reads on her own without anyone telling her."
"My little sister is my little sister, and our daughter is our daughter. Besides, my little sister is not used to hearing these things so early." Lin Xiaowan said.
"That's because I'm worried she won't be as smart as my younger sister," Liu Yanqing sighed. "My younger sister is learning later, and she's studying really hard, and she's learning to read quickly. Think about it, neither you nor I are as smart as my younger sister, nor as smart as our stepmother and the others. Our child may not be able to learn to read as quickly."
The more Liu Yanqing thought about it, the more he felt that he should read those contents in front of his daughter more often, so that his daughter would like them subtly.
"Then go ahead and read it." Lin Xiaowan did not stop Liu Yanqing. If Liu Yanqing liked to do so, he could do it.
"I've read some to her, but I won't read anymore." Liu Yanqing said, "If I keep reading, it will be like a spell, and she won't like it."
Liu Yanqing thought it was okay for him to sit for a while while he was studying, but if he had to sit there and listen to the teacher all the time, he would feel tired. He would think about not studying and going out to play, and his daughter might do the same.
"..." Lin Xiaowan really wanted to say that her daughter was not yet old enough to decide whether to like or dislike something. They couldn't remember things that happened when they were so young. When her daughter grew up, she would also forget things that happened when she was so young.
Aunt Zhao came over and said, "Let me hold you."
"She will be asleep soon." Liu Yanqing said. He often looked after his daughter, so he knew that it was almost time for her to go to bed.
After Miss Cen got married, she found that her husband was quite impatient and even touched the maids. This made Miss Cen very unhappy. When Miss Cen returned to her parents' home and talked about this matter, the Cen family did not think it was a big deal.
"Have you forgotten what I taught you before?" Madam Cen San said, "Men are naturally capable of having three wives and four concubines. You don't have to wait for your husband to take a concubine. You can also take the initiative to take a concubine for him."
“…” Miss Cen felt uncomfortable when she heard this, because she had just gotten married.
Miss Cen was a little dazed. How could she have forgotten how the Cen family girls became famous? The Cen family girls were so virtuous and kind. There was a Cen family girl who took a concubine for her husband less than a month after getting married.
A girl like Miss Cen, who was doted on by Mrs. Cen San, had never thought much about these things before. But now that she got married, it was her turn.
"He's just a..."
"Don't say that." Madam Cen San interrupted Miss Cen. She didn't want her daughter's words to be heard by others, nor did she want outsiders to say that her daughter was not virtuous. "No matter what, he is your husband. You should persuade your husband to study hard and get a good degree. As for other things, if your family can support him, then you can take him a concubine. If you do take a concubine for him, choose one that is easy to control."
Mrs. Cen San thought that all the girls in the Cen family were like this, and it was the same with her daughter.
"Mom." Miss Cen opened her mouth. She really didn't want to do that.
"If you don't give your husband a concubine, he will go find one himself," Mrs. Cen San said. "Will the woman he finds listen to you?"
A long time ago, Miss Cen dreamed of marrying into a powerful family, but now, Miss Cen hopes that her husband will not take a concubine so soon. However, her husband himself is not a very good person, and he likes to touch the maids.
Miss Cen did not bring any maids with her to her husband's house. She only employed maids from her husband's family. The Cen family did not have enough money to buy a maid for Miss Cen's dowry. The Cen family was in decline, and the Cen family members were criminals. The servants of Miss Cen's husband's family looked down on her.
As Miss Cen walked through the village, she heard others express envy for her. She didn't think her life was anything to be envied. Her husband treated her well, but he was also kind to the maids.
This made Miss Cen feel very frustrated. When she returned to her parents' home, her family didn't even bother to help her. Instead, they told her that she should be virtuous. Miss Cen had received the same kind of education before, but she found it hard to hold back.
Miss Cen thought that if her husband was a son of a marquis, she would take a concubine for him, but her husband was just the second son of an ordinary wealthy family, not the eldest son.
How could he, the second son of a wealthy family in a small northwestern town, dare to take a concubine after marrying her?
Miss Cen's eyes were red. It was useless for her to tell anyone, as there might be many women who wanted to become her husband's concubine.
When Miss Cen returned to the town, she actually saw from afar her ex-fiancé talking and laughing with a woman, and her ex-fiancé Qianhu was even gesturing with a hairpin on the woman's head.
What a bad fate.
How did that captain come to this small town?
Miss Cen didn't dare go over, fearing being laughed at. She had previously rejected the marriage proposal, but now she was marrying a wealthy and dissolute young man.
When the captain turned around, he saw Miss Cen and was stunned for a moment.
"What are you looking at?" asked the woman.
"No, I didn't see anything." Qianhu turned around.
Miss Cen's ex-fiancé really wanted to marry her. He thought she was well-educated and would make a good wife. But she despised him so much that he broke off the engagement. Without her, he could find another woman.
In the capital, the Eastern Palace, Concubine Qin is constantly under house arrest. She is either on her way to house arrest or under house arrest.
Even so, Concubine Qin still liked to tinker with those things. Concubine Qin found the imperial physician, and she wanted to get pregnant as soon as possible.
"Since you said there's nothing wrong with my body, then why didn't I get pregnant?" asked Concubine Qin.
"..." The imperial physician wanted to say that the prince rarely came to visit Concubine Qin.
In fact, the Crown Prince had not slept with Concubine Qin for two or three months. After Concubine Qin prayed for the late Queen, the Crown Prince went to see Concubine Qin several times. However, Concubine Qin got busy with other things and wanted Princess Rongning to see her. Concubine Qin was under house arrest, so the Crown Prince naturally did not come to Concubine Qin again.
The prince didn't even sleep with Concubine Qin, so how could Concubine Qin get pregnant?
Concubine Qin knew that she couldn't get pregnant if she didn't sleep with the Crown Prince. She just hoped that if the Crown Prince came to her once, she would get pregnant directly without him having to come to her all the time.
During this period of time, the Crown Prince has come to Concubine Qin very seldom.
Concubine Qin thought it must be because she had no children. If she had children, the prince would definitely come more often.
"Forget it, you are of no use." Concubine Qin thought that these imperial doctors were just like that.
The fact that Su Qiuya prescribed medicine to treat uterine coldness in the second branch of the Liu family was eventually discovered by Aunt Qing.
When Concubine Qing moved in with Liu Yuqin, Su Qiuya didn't notice when she went to get medicine, and didn't think that Concubine Qing would follow her. Concubine Qing did not follow Su Qiuya, and who would have thought that the doctor who examined Su Qiuya was the doctor that Concubine Qing had seen before.
When Concubine Qing was in the Marquis of Jingning's mansion, she had paranoid delusions. She would often look for doctors outside to take her and her children's pulses. No, that doctor knew Concubine Qing and knew that Concubine Qing was Su Qiuya's mother-in-law. Originally, this was nothing. The key point was that Concubine Qing met Su Qiuya and went to see that doctor.
Aunt Qing originally wanted to find that doctor to see Liu Yuqin, but who would have thought that she would meet Su Qiuya.
So after Su Qiuya left, Aunt Qing asked the doctor.
"This problem of cold uterus can be serious or minor. Your daughter-in-law is still recovering and may be able to get pregnant in a year or two." The doctor did not say anything definite. He did not specifically say that it would be difficult for Su Qiuya to get pregnant.
After the doctor said that, Aunt Qing more or less understood.
Aunt Qing thought about how Su Qiuya had treated her before, and how Su Qiuya had refuted her many times. She had to go find Liu Yanbo. She couldn't let her son be childless. If Su Qiuya couldn't give birth, then they would have to let Liu Yanbo take a concubine.
When Liu Yanbo heard that Su Qiuya had health problems and needed to take medicine, he frowned.
"Mom, you said this because you want Qiuya to divorce me?" Liu Yanbo said.
"She can't give birth. Why? Doesn't she let you take a concubine?" Aunt Qing was dissatisfied.
"Go, go and call her over." Aunt Qing wanted to have a good talk with Su Qiuya. If Su Qiuya couldn't give birth, it would be difficult for her to marry someone else as his wife in the future, unless Su Qiuya became someone else's concubine.
Aunt Qing believed that she would be able to gain the upper hand this time. She would be able to give Su Qiuya a good talk and suppress her arrogance.
When Su Qiuya came over, she heard Aunt Qing saying that she would not return the laying hen, so she knew that Aunt Qing knew that she was taking medicine to regulate her body.
"I do have a cold uterus, but the doctor didn't say I can't have children." Su Qiuya said, "My second sister has been married for so many years, but she just got pregnant. Besides, I'm still young, and there's no rush to decide whether to have children or not. If I don't have children, I will definitely take a concubine for my husband when he's forty!"
Su Qiuya understood that if Liu Yanbo still had no children by the time he turned 40, even if she still didn't let him take a concubine, it would be hard to guarantee that Liu Yanbo would not have other thoughts.
"Husband." Su Qiuya looked at Liu Yanbo. "Do you remember what happened on the road to exile? That day, you had a high fever. The people in the first house were old, young, and sick. They didn't help you find a doctor. The other houses didn't make any move either. I went to find a doctor in the rain."
Su Qiuya has sacrificed a lot for Liu Yanbo. "My body is like this, and these things are the reason. But can I say it? If I say it, what do you think? Do you think I'm using these things to pressure you and make you sad together?"
When Liu Yanbo heard Su Qiuya's words, he thought of the past. At that time, it was common for people to die on the way to exile. When he had a fever, he was worried that he would not be able to hold on. It was Su Qiuya's wholehearted care that helped him recover.
"If you think I can't have children, then divorce." Su Qiuya said, "It seems like I'm forcing you to divorce me every day."
Su Qiuya started crying as she spoke. She always appeared very strong, and Liu Yanbo had never seen Su Qiuya cry like this before.
"I don't blame you. We can't divorce." Liu Yanbo was moved. His wife treated him so well, how could he be ungrateful? He turned to look at Aunt Qing, "Mother, did you come here just to talk about these things? Just to embarrass us?"
"What's embarrassing for you? Am I not worried that you will have no descendants?" Aunt Qing said.
"Speaking of this, there is no need to worry. Father has so many sons, it doesn't matter whether I have children or not." Liu Yanbo just wanted to protect Su Qiuya and not let Aunt Qing bully Su Qiuya.
"You..." Aunt Qing was furious. "What does their child have to do with you? You don't even raise your sister's child, and you want to raise theirs?"
"Mother, are you cursing me for not being able to take good care of myself and have children?" Su Qiuya said sadly, "If a woman truly loves a man, how can she allow a third person to interfere? I just love my husband so much and can't stand him having a concubine. Am I wrong? I've done so much, can't I let my husband wait for me for a few more years?"
Su Qiuya is very emotional and bold. She dared to express her feelings like this. How could other women express their feelings to Su Qiuya like this? Not only did Su Qiuya dare to do so, she also dared to say other things, "If you force your husband, that's fine. We can divorce and part ways. I won't bother with my husband. Let's just pretend we were never together. From now on, whether I live or die, whether I remarry or not, and who I'm with, it's all fine."
After Su Qiuya finished speaking, she ran into the room.
When Liu Yanbo saw this scene, he felt very distressed. He really liked Su Qiuya and was very grateful for what Su Qiuya had done for him. His wife was not infertile, but she just needed a few years to recuperate. His wife's health was like this, and it was also related to him.
"Mother, are you satisfied only when your son is homeless?" Liu Yanbo stared at Aunt Qing with wide eyes. "Isn't Qiuya sad? She is very sad, and she doesn't want to make me worry, so she didn't tell me. She said that she would wait until I am forty and still have no children, then she would give me a concubine. Why are you forcing her?"
Liu Yanbo thought that Aunt Qing was too aggressive. How could he have such a mother?
At this moment, Liu Yanbo wished so much that his biological mother was a person like Liu's mother. Liu's mother was so nice, but his biological mother was always dissatisfied with the people around her.
When they were in the Marquis' Mansion, Aunt Qing felt that Liu's mother wanted to harm them; now that they were like this, Aunt Qing still felt that they were not good enough to her.
Liu Yanbo felt it was ridiculous, as if nothing he did was right, as Qing Yi Niang could never understand them. Qing Yi Niang always treated them in the way she thought was good, but in fact, that way was not good at all and was even deceptive.
"That's for your own good," said Aunt Qing.
Liu Yanbo thought: Why this sentence again!
"Then don't be so nice to me." Liu Yanbo's face was rather cold. He didn't want his mother to care about him so much.
