As expected by everyone, she became the wife of the Marquis after being married off

On Shen Wanqing's wedding night, instead of waiting for Li Wenxuan's arrival, she received news that shocked the Third Prince's Mansion.

Sun Shuhao was pregnant.

The fact that the wife is pregnant is definitely good news for the royal family. After Li Wenxuan passed the news to the queen and others, many people in the palace immediately sent gifts to Sun Shuhao.

Xianfei was even happier. She knew too well that Emperor Yingde had few children, and she had always wanted to see a thriving family. Children born from the first wife were even more beloved by Emperor Yingde, and this was his biggest worry.

Although he himself is not a legitimate child, he prefers legitimate children. This can be clearly seen from the way he dotes on the Queen's child.

Later, the Concubine also loved Li Xuli, who was adopted and raised by her side, to the core. If the Second Prince had not been so depressed, the Concubine knew that her son might not have the possibility of competing.

There was a flash of hostility in Concubine Xian's eyes, and an indelible coldness lingered in her phoenix eyes.

She was the most favored concubine in the harem, but she knew too well that she was favored by Emperor Yingde because of her appearance when she was young, and later because she pretended to be virtuous and sensible by his side, and tried to please him gently and attentively.

Later, it was because her son was promising and capable that she was able to gain a firm foothold in the harem.

Among the princes in the capital now, only her own son already had a concubine's eldest son and would soon have a legitimate son. How could Concubine Xian not be happy? She immediately selected a nanny and sent her to Sun Shuhao.

Although Shen Wanqing's makeup was stunning, it couldn't hide the obvious redness and moisture in the corners of her eyes. Her dissatisfaction and anger made Sun Shuhao look up at her with disdain and complacency.

After serving tea, Shen Wanqing wanted to make an excuse to leave, but was forced to stay in the house by Sun Shuhao and others.

Afterwards, Shen Wanqing just watched as people from the palace sent good things to Sun Shuhao one after another. There was joy in the corners of their eyes and eyebrows, and they looked at her with arrogance.

Shen Wanqing was so angry that she could hardly breathe out of her nose, and one hand was twisting the handkerchief tightly.

How could she not understand that she was showing it to herself on purpose?

At the same time, when Shen Lanyue in Changning Marquis's Mansion heard the news, she also laughed softly.

"It seems like Sun Shuhao is enduring a lot of hardship."

Fanfan said, "I heard that the Third Princess kept the person until lunch time before releasing him. The old maid sent by the virtuous concubine in the palace rearranged the Third Princess's courtyard inside and out."

Shen Lanyue was stunned for a moment, her expression vague, and a complicated smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

She probably understood that Concubine Xian's move was obviously intended to guard against the women in Li Wenxuan's backyard, and was also a subtle warning to Li Wenxuan not to ignore Sun Shuhao's pregnancy because of Shen Wanqing.

Shen Lanyue sneered, stood up and walked to the window, staring at the swaying bamboo forest and said calmly: "I heard from the imperial physician that Sun Shuhao's baby has been pregnant for two months. It seems that she discovered it early on."

"She fainted just when Li Wenxuan entered Shen Wanqing's room. Everything was done very accurately. It seems like it was intentional. Li Wenxuan's backyard has become lively now."

Fanfan stood behind Shen Lanyue, watching his master seem to drift away in an instant, as if alienated from this space. Suddenly he felt a little flustered, and quickly said in a hoarse voice: "Madam?"

"Hmm?" Shen Lanyue turned her head slightly and looked at her calmly.

Fan Fan looked into her eyes and suddenly felt relieved. He smiled sweetly at Shen Lanyue: "When Madam has a little master, I want to watch him grow up day by day."

Shen Lanyue was stunned and the smile froze on her face.

He chuckled softly, with a leisurely smile on his lips and eyebrows, and his eyes were gentle and soft.

"Why did you think of this?"

She really didn't expect her thoughts to move so fast, so she was stunned when she heard her words. Speaking of which, she has been married to Meng Changce for more than a year, and she has not been pregnant because she has been deliberately using contraception.

She really hadn't thought about this problem.

"I'll be happy just thinking about having a child as pretty as my wife!" Fanfan's eyes lit up, as if there was a child in front of him, and the dimples on his cheeks deepened a little when he smiled.

Shen Lanyue didn't say anything.

She remembered that she had a child in her previous life, but unfortunately, she lost it without even knowing it. She couldn't help but think that if that child had been born in her previous life, Fanfan would have treated him very well.

But then he thought again and smiled bitterly.

It's better not to give birth to the child. In his previous life, Shen Lanyue was a person who had nothing and was so stupid that he couldn't protect the people around him. How could he be qualified to have a child? A child who was not expected and blessed could only bring him disaster.

what about now?

What does Meng Changce think? Does he want to have a child?

Thinking about this question, Shen Lanyue was distracted for several moments during dinner, staring at Meng Changce with a confused and puzzled look.

But she still knew nothing.

Meng Changce also felt uncomfortable being stared at by her. He also looked at Shen Lanyue's changing expressions several times, and he endured it again and again, with a smile in his eyes.

Under normal circumstances, Shen Lanyue would have discovered it long ago, but she was so immersed in her own world that she didn't notice it.

This situation continued until the servants served the two men and left. After they lay on the bed, Shen Lanyue turned over silently and looked at him.

Meng Changce had never intended to go to bed early, and seeing that Shen Lanyue turned her back and didn't even look at him after getting on the bed, he had no choice but to sit on the bed and read the book that Shen Lanyue had placed on the bed.

"are you angry?"

Shen Lanyue raised her eyes and paused.

Shake his head.

Meng Changce tilted his head, put down the book, pulled the person up, held her in his arms, and patted her back slowly and soothingly with one hand.

Neither of them spoke for a while.

After a while, Shen Lanyue listened to his heartbeat in his chest, and with clear eyes and gentle words like the breeze, she said, "Do you want a child?"

She spoke calmly and evenly, without any ups and downs.

As if he had no anxiety at all, his eyes fell on the old pages of the book.

Meng Changce stopped stroking her back, and his eyes were filled with emotions. It was as if time had stopped. The originally warm atmosphere suddenly became stiff and strange.

"Do not want to."

Resolutely cold.

Shen Lanyue's blood turned cold in an instant and her fingers became stiff.

She raised her eyebrows and looked at him, seeing the thoughtful look in his eyes as if he had the answers to everything, yet also the cold and desperate indifference.
