No one knows what kind of spell the other party cast on their son, but after he fell into a coma, he became obsessed with Shen Tangning!
Upon hearing this name, Chi Jingyu's eyes rippled, and she raised her eyebrows to look at him: "Your son knows what he's doing, Mother, there's no need to worry."
Lady Hou felt even more choked up upon hearing this: "I don't care about anything else, but this marriage must go through!"
Chi Jingyu didn't say anything more, which she took as his consent.

The next day, when Chi Jingyu finished his shift, he noticed a passing minister secretly glancing at him with a hint of sympathy in his eyes. The minister immediately looked away when he realized Chi Jingyu's gaze.
His brow furrowed upon seeing this. The banquet was long over, so why were they looking at him like that?
A colleague who was close to him looked hesitant and couldn't help but step forward to comfort him: "Jingyu, no one wants something like this to happen. Don't be too sad. There's no hurdle in life that you can't overcome."
Chi Jingyu was completely confused and wanted to ask the other party more questions, but the other party refused to say more and left in a hurry.
After several such incidents, Chi Jingyu finally lost his patience. Just then, a familiar voice came from behind him:
"Big brother."
He turned around and saw Chi Yan walking slowly towards him. Chi Yan raised his eyes slightly and sighed, "No wonder my elder brother always urged me to have children soon. It turns out that this is the reason. It was also because I was naughty back then and almost let my elder brother down."
Chi Jingyu's eyes turned slightly cold: "What do you mean by that? Just say it directly, why beat around the bush?"
Recalling the strange behavior of everyone present, he realized that something might have happened that he was unaware of.
Chi Yan looked somewhat surprised: "So, Brother didn't know? Now the whole of Yanjing is talking about it, saying that Brother..."
At this point, he seemed somewhat reluctant to speak, or perhaps afraid of hurting him, and carefully lowered his voice, "Having children is difficult."
Chi Jingyu was taken aback for a moment, then quickly turned cold and scoffed, "Nonsense! You actually believe such absurd talk?" He paused, a hint of suspicion in his eyes, "Who told you this?"
Chi Yan blinked innocently, "The doctor from the Marquis's mansion, it's said, let it slip when he was drunk." He put on a painstakingly earnest look, "Brother, if you're sick, get treatment as soon as possible, don't avoid seeing a doctor!"
Chi Jingyu's face suddenly darkened, his heart filled with doubt and uncertainty, but he coldly said, "You're the one who's sick!"
After saying that, he turned and left, seemingly to confront the culprit.
Chi Yan shook his head meaningfully.
...
Shen Xiwei knew that if these words were revealed by someone else, most people would not believe them, but hearing them from the doctor who had treated the Marquis's family was a different story.
The doctor noticed this matter when he came to check the patient's pulse as usual. He originally wanted to report it to the Lady of the Marquis, but Shen Xiwei had secretly warned him that the young master did not want the news to leak out.
The other party thought it was normal; no man would want outsiders to know such a secret, so he kept quiet and trembling.
It would be easy to get him to say it "accidentally"—just get a few acquaintances to get him drunk, and that would be it.
She knew that Chi Jingyu would eventually find out about her when she did this, so she didn't try to hide it too much.
When the menacing Chi Jingyu grabbed her by the neck, Shen Xiwei laughed instead:
"Why is Your Highness so angry? Who has upset you?"
