The Prime Minister's wife, Wen Yi, clutched the handkerchief in her hand in a state of confusion.
As far as she knew, the prince didn't know that Su Zhiyao was pregnant with his child.
But what her master meant was that Su Zhiyao wanted to give birth to the child secretly and wait until the time was right before doing anything else.
The prince came to see Su Zhiyao. As a mother, she was happy for her daughter. This man was not so heartless and still cared about his daughter.
But I was also worried about what might happen when the two young people met.
A few days ago, Su Zhiyao and Shen Qingwu had a conflict and she had a miscarriage.
She had finally managed to keep the baby stable during this period of time. If the prince was not aware of the situation and did not know how to control himself after meeting her, it would be troublesome if the child was hurt. However, she could not say this.
"Aunt?" The prince shouted with amusement at the troubled person.
Wen Yi looked at the prince in embarrassment, feeling a little painful as she wanted to say something but couldn't.
The prince smiled gently yet bitterly, "If you don't want me to see Yaoyao again, I can understand. After all, Yaoyao is not young anymore, but I can't let her into the mansion yet. It's my fault. I will never meet Yaoyao again in the future."
The prince lowered his eyes in disappointment and handed the things he had brought to the prime minister's wife.
"Aunt, you can send the things in to Yaoyao. If you don't like it, you can also have someone throw it out."
The prince put the things on the ground, glanced greedily at the half-open door, then turned and left.
"Your Highness." Wen Yi sighed helplessly and compromised, "Go ahead, go in and see her and try to persuade her."
The prince turned around, his eyes brightening and his voice becoming lighter, "Aunt, can I come in?"
"I hope you can persuade her. She is not young anymore and it's time for her to get married. If she stays any longer, she will become an old maid. If she can't marry you by then, her life will be over. For the sake of our past relationship, please persuade her." Wen Yi said as she was about to kneel down.
Wen Yi discussed this matter with her husband Su Cheng.
Su Zhiyao's marriage cannot be delayed, otherwise the Kyoto City will be full of rumors, and Su Zhiyao will be criticized for half her life if she wants to enter the Eastern Palace.
After she gives birth to the child, if there is no response from the prince, she will be married off. When the prince feels most guilty, Su Zhiyao will be married off to someone else. This way, the benefits can be maximized.
The prince quickly stopped the person and said, "Aunt, it's my fault. You are embarrassing me."
…
Gambling house.
Shen Qingwu challenged Kang An and played the opposite game, winning every time.
She was full of energy, "Come again."
Although Kang An lost ten games in a row today, he did not get angry and leave. Instead, he was still in high spirits. However, it was obvious that his attention today was not on the gambling table.
"My beauty, you've been challenging me all day. Are you deliberately trying to get my attention?" Kang An placed the last banknote he brought today on the gambling table and said with a smile, "This is my last bet, and I'm betting the same as this little beauty!"
He didn't drink any alcohol, but he seemed a little tipsy, and his already small eyes narrowed even smaller.
As soon as he said this, all attention fell on Shen Qingwu, who had won ten games in a row today.
Everyone was about to explode after losing so much money, and they all wanted to take a gamble with Shen Qingwu, but they couldn't say it because of what they had said before. Fortunately, Kang An finally stopped being confused.
At this time, Shen Qingwu withdrew his full bet and only placed the smallest silver note.
"Please don't be offended, everyone. You guys have bad luck today. You insisted on betting the same thing as me because I was really afraid that you would pass on your bad luck to me." Shen Qingwu said the apology, but there was no sign of apology on his face.
Everyone at the gambling table, "..."
And the result, as Shen Qingwu said, was that the only winner in this game was the dealer.
Everyone wailed, and their slightly high spirits instantly waned. They had lost all the money they had today and could not make a comeback.
Although everyone has some financial resources, today's loss was truly devastating.
Only Kang An didn't care. When Shen Qingwu turned around and left, he followed without hesitation. There were also a few people who were familiar with Kang An cheering behind him.
"Beauty, beauty..." Kang An shouted without hesitation as he followed her.
Shen Qingwu pretended not to hear. When she reached the door, she looked at the two door gods and smiled as she pulled out two more silver notes. "Today, Miss Ben won. I will fulfill my previous promise."
The two rubbed their hands awkwardly, then respectfully took it with both hands, "Thank you, Miss Shen, you are welcome to come again."
Shen Qingwu waved his hand and strode away. Behind him, Kang An chased out, calling out for his beauty, but was blocked by two 'door gods'.
Kang An was a regular customer, a distinguished guest, so they kindly reminded him, "Master Kang, do you know who that person is in front of you?"
Kang An stretched his neck to watch the people walking away, not wanting to hear anything. He simply raised his hand to push away the arm that was blocking his way, "Are you trying to rebel? How dare you stop me?"
"Master Kang, that is Shen Qingwu. She is very fierce and kind." The 'door god' kindly reminded.
Just now, the skinny monkey and the little dwarf were both injured and left. From their conversation, it seemed that they were going to leave Kyoto permanently. They suspected that Shen Qingwu was most likely the one who did it.
"Little Pepper?" Kang An was even more excited, "This young master likes this kind of exciting stuff!"
After he finished speaking, he pushed away the person who was blocking his way and ran towards Shen Qingwu.
People come and go on the street, but among the crowd, Shen Qingwu's temperament is the most special.
Kang An quickly caught up with her, "Beauty, enough playing hard to get. If you keep playing hard to get, she'll get away."
Shen Qingwu frowned in annoyance and scolded coldly, "If you are sick, go get treatment!"
"Hey, you stinky bitch, you are so shameless even though I gave you the chance, huh?" Kang An suddenly got furious and yelled.
Shen Qingwu looked at this moody man and regretted again that the things she brought were of no use at all. There was no need for her to guide him deliberately, Kang An was very smart on his own.
"Watch your mouth!" Shen Qingwu shouted angrily, but he didn't rush to take action today.
"Just now you tried every possible way to attract my attention, weren't you just trying to seduce me? I will satisfy you today!" Kang An said as he reached out to grab Shen Qingwu.
Shen Qingwu remembered that in Kang An's past, he had seen him robbing a woman from a commoner's home.
"That bastard from the Kang family is here to harass decent women in the street again!" The vendors around shouted in a low voice, and the young women passing by immediately fled in all directions.
And Shen Qingwu's opportunity finally came.
Looking at her hand about to fall, she curled her lips into a smile, raised her hand, and tightly grasped Kang An's wrist, "I seduced you, do you know who I am? Today I must go to your Kang family and ask them how they educate their sons!"
