Chapter 214 The Wen Family is also being targeted
Everyone present was surprised when they heard it.
"Sister Yixian, congratulations!"
Chen Suyue was the first to react and was sincerely happy.
Wen Haiyue also said immediately: "General Gu will be overjoyed to hear this news. Our sister Yixian is really amazing... Not long after getting married, she's already pregnant with the Gu family's eldest grandson..."
Wu Yixuan blushed. Wen Haiyue was too direct in his words.
When Wen Haiyue realized that what she had just said was indeed a bit explicit, she didn't know how to apologize and could only laugh to cover up her embarrassment.
"That's not what I meant. I meant..."
In fact, no one really takes this statement to heart.
The relationship between the sisters is still very strong.
After Wu Yixuan knew she was pregnant, she couldn't help but touch her belly gently, feeling the little life.
Her heart was naturally filled with maternal love and tenderness. She looked at Gu Ruanci, her eyes sparkling with excitement: "Ruanci, thank you. If you hadn't taken my pulse, I wouldn't have known I was pregnant. I've been very sleepy these past few days and almost took some blood-regulating medicine. If I had really taken something to invigorate the blood, the consequences would have been disastrous..."
Gu Ruanci smiled and shook her head: "Sister-in-law, this is the fate between you and the child, and it also means that he recognizes me as his aunt. Don't worry, I will take good care of you and ensure that the little guy is born safely."
The sisters present gathered around, expressing their blessings and concern. Chen Suyue even held Wu Yixian's hand, her eyes full of envy: "Sister Yixian, your brother is now in high school and will be getting married soon, and you can also get pregnant so soon, your life is perfect..."
Wu Yixuan smiled and patted her hand: "Suyue, are you anxious to get married? Whose Erlang have you set your eyes on? Why not tell us so that we can help you with some advice?"
The sisters gathered together, laughing and talking, as if the air was filled with happiness and warmth.
In the end, this good atmosphere was broken.
Someone from the Wen family came and asked Wen Haiyue to go back quickly.
"What's wrong?" Wen Haiyue didn't know what happened.
The servant didn't say anything immediately, and looked a little embarrassed.
Wen Haiyue quickly said, "There are no outsiders here, hurry up and speak."
The servant then said, "It's someone from Prince Duan's Mansion. They sent a matchmaker here, saying they want to arrange a marriage for the eldest son, asking him to marry Princess Mingyue."
When Wen Haiyue heard this, her face was instantly filled with surprise and confusion: "What? Prince Duan's Mansion wants to arrange a marriage for my elder brother? How is this possible? Didn't my elder brother already..."
She suddenly realized she had almost let the cat out of the bag and quickly stopped talking. Wu Yixuan and the other sisters were also stunned. They all knew that Wen Haiyue's eldest brother, Wen Haichao, already had someone in his heart, and that person was not the Princess of Mingyue County.
The servant looked embarrassed, as if he was reluctant to pass on the news. "I only heard it from someone, and I don't know the details. But the matchmaker is already waiting in the front hall, and the master asked the young lady to return quickly."
Wen Haiyue bit her lip, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes: "Okay, I understand."
Afterwards, she said to her sisters, "This is about my brother. I'll go back and check on him first..."
After saying that, she left in a hurry.
Wu Yixuan looked at Wen Haiyue's departing back, and a wave of worry rose in his heart: "I hope nothing goes wrong."
"The Prince Duan's Mansion has taken action, which means something has gone wrong... This matter is simply disgusting..."
Gu Ruanci said that she really didn't expect that Concubine Wen would marry her spoiled and unsuccessful daughter to the most promising eldest son of the Wen family in order to win over this promising branch of the Wen family...
Others work hard, but they reap the benefits. How shameless!
When the people present heard Gu Ruanci's words, their expressions froze and they realized the seriousness of the matter.
Chen Suyue frowned and asked in confusion, "What's going on at Prince Duan's Mansion? Doesn't the eldest son of the Wen family already have a sweetheart? They just haven't gotten engaged yet. How could they do this?"
Wu Yixian also had a serious expression on his face: "Yes, the actions of Prince Duan's Mansion are tantamount to forcibly separating a pair of loving couples. No wonder Haiyue is so anxious to go back."
Gu Ruanci sighed softly, "In this world, powerful people don't care about the feelings of the little people when they do things. To the people of Prince Duan's Mansion, even though the Wen family is now the Shangshu Mansion, they are still just small ministers. The Prince Duan's Mansion represents the emperor and the imperial power. I'm afraid that after Haiyue returns, she won't be able to think of any way to solve this difficult problem."
The sisters nodded in agreement with Gu Ruanci's statement.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the room became a little heavy. The space that was just filled with laughter and joy was now shrouded in a layer of haze.
Wu Yixuan instinctively stroked his belly and prayed silently in his heart.
Gu Ruanci saw Wu Yixuan's worry and patted her arm gently: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, we will find a way together. After Haiyue returns, she will tell us any news in time, and we will also keep an eye on the situation over there."
Wu Yixuan looked at Gu Ruanci with emotion, and felt a little comforted in his heart.
This decision of Prince Duan's Mansion was the finishing touch mentioned by Wen Zimei in his reply to Concubine Wen.
She said that Concubine Wen should not worry about trivial matters and be confused by the things in front of her. She should think about the long-term. Since she wanted Lu Wenxue to get married, she might as well find someone with a high enough family background and great achievements in the future. There was no need to gamble on the top scholar.
Wen Haiyue's father is now the Minister of War, and Wen Haichao has been in the military camp all the time. He is now a captain. He will naturally achieve great things in the future. Moreover, as a military man, the power in his hands is real.
On another level, only such a marriage can revive the Wen family.
Since they don't accept returning to the main branch, let's use another method.
When Wen Haiyue arrived home, the matchmaker was talking nonstop.
Wen Haichao was not at home, but Madam Wen was really overwhelmed, mainly because she did not want to offend Prince Duan's Mansion too much.
"Don't say that. Princess Mingyue is of noble status, but my brother already has a sweetheart and will be engaged soon. If he betrays her for the sake of this marriage, what kind of person will he become?" Wen Haiyue stepped forward and stopped the matchmaker.
When the matchmaker heard this, she was stunned. She didn't expect Wen Haiyue to refuse so directly, and the reason was so high-sounding.
Mrs. Wen was also stunned. She didn't expect Wen Haiyue to be so courageous and decisive.
The matchmaker laughed dryly and tried to persuade her again, but was frightened back by Wen Haiyue's sharp eyes.
"The county lady is of noble status, and our Wen family naturally knows that. However, marriage is a matter of mutual consent. Now that my brother has someone he loves, we can't force him, right?" Wen Haiyue said in a firm tone, leaving no room for doubt.
Seeing this, the matchmaker knew what they were worried about.
"Miss Wen, are you the head of the household? You, an unmarried girl, are interfering in your own brother's marriage?"
