I kicked out my vicious husband and married his great-uncle

Zhao Simin looked up suddenly, unable to hide the astonishment in her eyes.

After a long while, she finally found her voice: "Seriously?"

"Of course I'm serious. Otherwise, why would I go through so much trouble to chat with you?"

Zhao Simin held Cui Shuyan's hand: "Okay, okay, you tell me, I'll do as you say."

"First, after you go back, don't drink this papaya stewed with milk. But don't let anyone find out. Second, your menstrual period has just ended, so you can eat normally in the next few days. Your husband will be back home in about five days."

"No, you must be mistaken. My husband won't be back for half a month."

"No, in five days."

Zhao Simin suddenly realized something and nodded immediately: "Okay. I understand."

"Also, you have to be aware of who is handling the papaya stew. Also, be careful not to let anyone touch your wrist. Anyone who comes close to you has to be on your guard."

Afterwards, Cui Shuyan explained some other details.

Zhao Simin listened carefully and nodded one by one.

After handing this matter over to Zhao Simin, there was very little Cui Shuyan could do. For more than ten days, she hardly went out and stayed in the house, preparing winter clothes.

In a blink of an eye, her belly swelled up and the baby in her belly was about five months old.

Xie Xingyuan would come over every one or two days, sometimes bringing some snacks, sometimes bringing some new and interesting gadgets.

Every time he came, he had a smile on his face.

However, when he came this time, his expression was a little solemn.

"There is something I have to let you know after thinking about it."

"You say." Cui Shuyan stopped what she was doing and looked at Xie Xingyuan.

"Something happened in Suzhou. Now the prefectural governor position is vacant. The Ministry of Personnel intends to have your brother take over as the prefect. This time, His Majesty intends to promote younger officials, so he recommended your brother. However, your brother refused."

"Refused?"

Cui Shuyan was very surprised.

How could my brother refuse such a good opportunity?

You know, after going out for training and returning to Beijing, my brother's official position will definitely be different.

Just as she finished speaking, Cui Shuyan suddenly thought of why her brother refused.

It's for her.

Because she is pregnant, it is not suitable for her to travel long distances.

In this case, she needs to stay in the capital.

Her brother was worried about her, so he rejected the Ministry of Personnel's proposal and decided to stay in the capital to accompany her.

"It was His Majesty's idea to have your brother take over the post of prefect of Suzhou. But your brother has refused, and the Ministry of Personnel has not yet reported this to His Majesty. I have temporarily put this matter on hold, hoping to see if you can persuade your brother. However, I can only keep it on for one more day at most."

Cui Shuyan was extremely grateful: "Your Majesty, thanks to you for telling me about this matter. Don't worry, I will definitely persuade my brother to go to Suzhou."

"I will protect you and take care of you."

Xie Xingyuan said this out of the blue.

Cui Shuyan lowered her head and blushed.

……

After dinner, Cui Shuyan sent all the servants away, leaving only her and Luo Jinyu in the huge dining room.

"Brother, let's go to Suzhou."

Luo Jinyu was a little surprised: "How do you know this?"

This matter was not made public in the Ministry of Personnel.

"Brother, don't worry about how I didn't know. I just want to ask you, why did you refuse?"

"It's been so hard to settle down here, I don't want to go through so much trouble again."

"No, brother, you did it for me. I hope you can go to Suzhou."

Luo Jinyu shook her head: "Shuyan, since you already know, I will not hide it from you anymore. I will not go to Suzhou. I said that I passed the imperial examination for you. If I pass the imperial examination, but have to stay away from you, for me, this is putting the cart before the horse and goes against my original intention."

"Brother, are you really willing?" Cui Shuyan asked softly.

"Why should I be unwilling to accept this? My current position is not bad either."

"But, after going to Suzhou, you will go further. I know that everything you do is for me, but, brother, there are many people like me in this world. If you have a higher position, you can do more things and avoid more tragedies. I hope you can have that ability."

Luo Jinyu is well-read, so how could he not have the ideal of helping the world and saving people?

He just cared too much about Cui Shuyan.

Luo Jinyu smiled faintly: "Yanyan, you don't have to persuade me. This is the most critical time for you now, I can't leave at this time."

Cui Shuyan immediately stood up and said, "In that case, I will go to Suzhou with my brother."

After saying that, Cui Shuyan stood up and walked straight outside, calling Qiaoya as she walked: "Qiaoya, come with me and pack your things, I'm going to Suzhou!"

Luo Jinyu was anxious, and took a few steps to stop Cui Shuyan: "Nonsense, you can't go to Suzhou."

"Why can't I go? I heard that the desert scenery in Suzhou is extremely spectacular. I want to go and experience it."

"This is not child's play."

"Oh, so brother knows that this matter is not a joke. Brother, I know you are worried about me, but I have the ability to protect myself. Besides, my shoulders are too weak to bear your future. If you reject this opportunity because of me, I will regret it for the rest of my life. In the future, if your career is not going well, I will blame myself. I am afraid I can't bear this torture."

Luo Jinyu shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Yanyan, that's not what I meant. I made this decision willingly, and it has nothing to do with you."

"No, it's about me. Brother, I can't deceive myself."

Luo Jinyu frowned, feeling quite conflicted.

How could a scholar who cares about the world not hope to benefit the people?

At this time, even if there were some things she didn't want to say, Cui Shuyan still decided to say them.

She walked back to the dining table and sat down, taking a sip of tea. "Brother, just go to Suzhou with peace of mind. The child's father will take care of me."

"Who? Who is he?" Luo Jinyu's body suddenly stiffened.

In the past few days, it's not that he didn't want to get to the bottom of this matter, but he respected his sister, so if she didn't say it, he wouldn't ask.

Because he could guess that it must not be a pleasant experience.

"It's Xie Xingyuan."
