"Take a concubine, take a concubine, all you can think about is taking a concubine. Si Niang is a reasonable person. When did I oppose you taking a concubine? I just made a small request to you. The concubine must come from a famous family. What's wrong with that? You are the founding hero I begged for, and my sworn brother. You have multiple identities. You should open your eyes. Why did you lower yourself to take Fu Liu back? Isn't it a slap in the face of Lu Si Niang for going against her like this? Lu Si Niang is the manager of the weaving workshop and is in charge of thousands of people. Where can you let her face it?"

Wan Lianxing rarely tried to persuade Ge Dongqing today because of his concern, but Ge Dongqing, who was obsessed with love, had reached the point of being obsessed and would not listen to any good advice at all. The pregnant Fu Liu had already occupied his heart.

Not only did he not repent, he also complained and grumbled endlessly, as if he was the victim of the whole incident. "Brother, Lu Siniang lost face because of me, but I have also lost face recently, and Fu Liu has suffered even more."

Wan Lianxing really wanted to kill this person who couldn't tell right from wrong with his eyes. Ge Dongqing's self-talk could not beautify his image in Wan Lianxing's mind at all. Wan Lianxing was already very disappointed with him. "You and Fu Liu have brought this upon yourselves. You deserve it. What did Lu Si Niang do to provoke you? You and I have embarrassed her so much that people say she is a female devil. What a pity for Lu Si Niang!"

Not only did Ge Dongqing not feel guilty, he even said confidently and shamelessly: "Brother, I'm sure you know that Fu Liu is pregnant with my child. Si Niang is good, but she is infertile. I, Ge Dongqing, can't have no descendants!"

With just these few words, Ge Dongqing began to blame everything on Lu Siniang. He went to brothels because she was barren, he had an affair with Fu Liu because she was barren, and he and Fu Liu got pregnant because she was barren. In short, everything he did was because of her barrenness. Even his current situation seemed to be caused by Lu Siniang, as if it was Ge Dongqing who had endured the humiliation. He was so stubborn that he almost nailed Siniang to the pillar of shame.

Wan Lianxing sighed, "Congratulations on becoming a father. If you insist on marrying Fu Liusheng, I, as your eldest brother, have nothing to say. After all, this is your family affair. I am busy with government affairs every day and have no time to take care of your family affairs. You should decide your own affairs. I cannot be the head of the household for you."

For a hopeless person, it is redundant to say anything. Wan Lianxing is tired and annoyed and doesn't want to say anything more.

The thoughtful Zhong Siyu saw Wan Lianxing's dissatisfaction and helplessness towards Ge Dongqing. She was also defeated by Dongqing's shamelessness. She asked Ge Dongqing: "Master Ge, how many months pregnant is Fu Liu?"

Speaking of the child, Ge Dongqing beamed. He said happily, "Your Majesty, the child has been here for over three months. Seven doctors have examined his pulse and it's absolutely true."

Thinking of Fu Liu being paraded a few days ago, Zhong Siyu was worried about the child in her belly. Although she also looked down on Ge Dongqing's actions, she couldn't ignore the offspring. "Then she must take good care of the pregnancy. I'll have someone find some medicinal herbs later, and you can take them back to Fu Liu to nourish her body."

Just as Ge Dongqing was about to thank Zhong Siyu, Wan Lianxing said quietly, "Did she use the herbs to help with the pregnancy? That child is the fruit of love, and needs to be nurtured with love. How can those herbs you have help with the pregnancy? Give this medicine to Lu Siniang so she can have children for Dongqing soon, so that Dongqing won't be treated unfairly in the future."

Ge Dongqing slandered Lu Siniang, his eyes filled with a curse: "Brother, Lu Siniang is a piece of saline-alkali land. She can't give birth to a child no matter what she eats."

"How do you know that the problem of not being able to have children must be caused by Lu Si Niang? When Lu Si Niang whipped you, she stood tall and straight, looking heroic. You looked very healthy. But you are so skinny and weak."

Ge Dongqing was not convinced, but he had reason to be dissatisfied. "Brother, although I have lost some weight, I am in good health. Fu Liu's pregnancy is the best proof."

Wan Lianxing couldn't help laughing when he heard this. Putting aside his character, it was really a cause for celebration that Ge Dongqing was finally going to be a father at this age. He was sincerely happy for Ge Dongqing.

"If that's the case, I have no power to refute it. Dong Qing, these are your family affairs. You can do whatever you want. As the king of a country, I don't have the energy to worry about your family affairs. But I must say one thing up front. You can take concubines, or even several wives, all of which are your freedom, but you cannot divorce your wife. I will not agree to it. You must remember that if you dare to divorce your wife and marry someone else, you will be condemned by thousands of people and lose all conscience. Then you will know what it means to be disgraced and infamous for eternity."

Ge Dongqing chuckled: "Brother, Si Niang, Fu Liu and I have all taken a step back. I won't divorce her, and she won't divorce me either."

Wan Lianxing, who was preoccupied with lawsuits, raised his eyebrows and was overjoyed. "Haha, not bad! You have some skills. In just three or five days, you have handled the family affairs so properly. I am happy for you." Wan Lianxing thought to himself that finally he didn't have to ask him for justice one by one.

Wan Lianxing hadn't felt happy for a moment when he heard Ge Dongqing change the subject: "Brother, I have something to ask of you."

"Tell me what you want. As long as it's not an unreasonable request, I can agree to it."

"Brother, Fu Liu is a talented woman. It is really unfair for her to be a concubine. I want to promote her to be my equal wife. I beg you to agree." Ge Dongqing made a lot of mental preparations, and it took him a little courage to say this.

The smile in Wan Lianxing's eyes disappeared instantly, replaced by a slight frown and sympathy in his eyes. As the king of a country, he seldom gave people earnest advice, because his words were golden and he kept his word. No one would disobey his advice, let alone repeatedly disobey his will. However, Ge Dongqing was a special case. He had been beaten, scolded, and punished, but he refused to change his ways. This person was very troublesome.

"Dongqing, Dongqing, what can I say to you? You've only been living peacefully for a few days, and you're already courting death again."

"Brother, Fu Liu is having a very hard time being pregnant. She is as beautiful as a flower and full of talent. It is really unfair for her to be a concubine."

"You're truly caring. A woman born in a brothel, how could she be considered a concubine? Dongqing, a 'concubine' is a concubine for life. Do I need to explain this to you? As my loyal and devoted minister, aren't you bound by the law and ethics?"

"Brother, I understand, but Fu Liu is truly exceptional. If you met her, you would make an exception for her."
