He thought that what he said would shock Su Qingci, make her angry and sad, and even rush out to confront Lu Huan.
But unexpectedly, her trust in Lu Huan far exceeded his imagination.
Su Qingci lowered his head and sneered slightly. Not only was he not angry, he also did not refute.
It's even like he doesn't care. Maybe that's not the right way to say it. It's not that he doesn't care, but that he simply doesn't believe what he says.
"Are you done?"
She said with a relaxed and cheerful manner, "I'm leaving now that I'm done."
Yan Xuanye's heart suddenly stopped.
Unexpectedly, she trusted Lu Huan so much.
Such trust made the resentment and jealousy in his heart accumulate to an extreme.
"You just believe him like that? Even if what I told you is the truth."
"Yes," she answered quickly.
"Oh."
"It doesn't matter if you don't believe me. One day you will believe what I say. Because... no matter how many pregnancy pills you drink, you can't get pregnant with his child."
"If you become suspicious, go check the medicine residue yourself and you'll know if what I said is true."
Su Qingci stood up, too lazy to say anything more to him: "Whatever you say, I'm leaving."
"Lu Huan went to great lengths to marry you, and then tried every possible means to prevent you from getting pregnant. Don't you suspect anything?"
Yan Xuanye's voice sounded behind her, and the words he said made her body tremble.
Seeing her pause, Yan Xuanye continued, "Su Qingci, have you ever thought about whether Lu Huan truly loves you and why he wanted to marry you?"
"It has nothing to do with you." She said coldly and walked towards the entrance of the cave.
…
Su Qingci returned to the banquet.
Lu Huan asked, "Why did you take so long?"
Su Qingci: "I met a mad dog."
Lu Huan noticed that Su Qingci's expression was not right, and Su Qingci also realized that his emotions were a little out of control, so he smiled at Lu Huan and said, "I'm fine, don't worry."
Lu Huan didn't say anything, but looked across at the crowd and happened to see Yan Xuanye sitting down.
How could it be such a coincidence that Su Qingci just returned to the banquet and Yan Xuanye took his seat right after that?
Lu Huan felt vaguely uneasy.
Yan Xuanye was also looking at Su Qingci, and when he saw Lu Huan looking over, their eyes met.
Seeing this, Yan Xuanye smiled provocatively, and took out the handkerchief that he had left on Su Qingci from his pocket. He pretended to wipe his hands, but in fact he was deliberately showing it to Lu Huan.
Lu Huan's eyes flickered as he recognized the handkerchief as Su Qingci's.
Could it be that... they just ran into each other? Or did Yan Xuanye go looking for Su Qingci specifically? What on earth was going on?
…
As soon as he returned to the manor, Lu Huan couldn't wait to ask the question in his mind, "Did you meet Yan Xuanye today?"
Su Qingci was stunned for a moment and wanted to refute, but then he thought that since Lu Huan asked this, he must have discovered something wrong and he could no longer hide it.
So how did she begin to speak? "On my way back to the banquet after changing my clothes, he dragged me into a cave."
Lu Huan panicked and asked hurriedly, "Did he do anything to you?"
Su Qingci shook his head: "He didn't do anything to me."
"Then why did he take you to the cave?" Lu Huan said this not because he doubted her, but because he was worried.
Su Qingci: "He told me something and then let me go."
"What?"
"He told me that the medicine you gave me every day wasn't just some ordinary pregnancy-maintaining medicine..."
When Lu Huan heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He had already guessed the result.
"He said it was the birth control pill."
When Su Qingci said this, he kept looking into Lu Huan's eyes. He saw that his eyelashes trembled suddenly and his eyes became a little erratic, as if he was guilty.
I also have my own guesses in my mind.
Lu Huan held her in his arms, "Do you believe it?"
Su Qingci shook his head: "No."
"I don't believe him, I only believe you."
Lu Huan was deeply touched and couldn't bear to keep it in the dark with her any longer.
"Why do you trust me so much?"
Su Qingci nestled in his arms obediently and sighed softly, "If I don't trust you, who else can I trust?"
"Yan Xuanye?"
He is a mad dog. He wants to bite her when he sees her and barks at her. He is the kind of mad dog that has to be chained up before he will obey. He is very annoying.
"You are my husband, so I naturally believe what you say," she said.
Husband... Lu Huan stroked her hair and said softly, "If I lied to you, would you be angry?"
Su Qingci: "...I'll be a little disappointed, but not angry."
She always felt that Lu Huan would not treat her like that, and he would not plot against her for no reason.
After spending these days together, Lu Huan was really good to her. For example, he reminded her not to dress too gorgeously when she went out this morning. Even if it was a small matter, he took it to heart and reminded her.
Therefore, she was willing to believe him, and before she was completely disappointed in him, she was willing to give him a chance and believe in him.
Lu Huan: "Actually... what you drink every night is definitely not a pregnancy-enhancing medicine."
"It's the birth control pill."
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Lu Huan was a little surprised, "Aren't you surprised?"
"I noticed it when I saw that your face looked a little off just now."
Su Qingci's voice was extremely cold, and Lu Huan's heart suddenly panicked, fearing that she would be disappointed in him.
He wrapped his arms around her tighter and tighter, holding her tightly in his arms. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you."
"I specially asked a highly respected imperial physician to prescribe this medicine. It will have no adverse effects on your body, so you can rest assured."
Su Qingci didn't care about these things, she just wanted to know why he did this.
"Why did you do that?"
Lu Huan calmed down and said slowly, "Now is not a good time to get pregnant."
"The girl next door was eyeing us covetously. My mother was killed by her when she was giving birth to her second child."
"She's been married to my father for nearly ten years, and they haven't had any children. If you get pregnant, she'll definitely be resentful, and then... maybe even attack you."
Su Qingci could even hear the trembling in his voice, "We haven't settled the issue with Fengyuan Kingdom yet, and Yan Xuanye's army is watching covetously from outside. The situation in the court is also unstable, and the rebel forces are ready to make a move. I'm afraid that one day I will have to lead the troops into battle."
"By then, you'll be pregnant and staying in the mansion, with Gao Jiarong next door, and I'll be worried..."
"I'm afraid you'll be like my mother...so I don't want you to get pregnant."
He buried his head in Su Qingci's shoulder, as if he was too embarrassed to see her. He didn't dare to raise his head, and his body trembled slightly as he hugged her.
She begged with a tight voice, "Qingci, please don't blame me."
"Okay?"
