Traveling through life as a widow: six sons to support her in her old age

The family was chatting lively when the housekeeper walked in with a sullen look on his face.

"Princess~"

When Lan Qiyan saw his expression, he said, "You don't even need to say anything, I know you're up to no good.

Tell me, what happened this time? Which dish did you forget to buy?"

"Oh, Princess, please understand. This is none of my business. I am here to congratulate you, Princess."

Lan Qiyan changed his hand to support his head, "Congratulations on what?"

"Congratulations, Princess, for becoming a grandmother again."

Lan Qiyan raised his eyelids and said, "Xie Yun is there."

"Oh, I'm not talking about the young master, I'm talking about the second master's family."

Several people looked at Zhu Bo at the same time. What did he mean?

Second child?

Jade repair?

That single guy?

Have a child?

Amid the confused, curious, and somewhat urgent looks of the crowd, Liu Bo said, "Princess, there is a woman outside with a veiled woman, who is said to be pregnant with the Second Master's child."

Lan Qiyan stood up from the couch and said, "Uncle Liu, take the mother and daughter to the hall first, and send someone to bring back Yu Lao Er.

If he resists, tie him up and bring him back, and then investigate the truth and specific circumstances of the incident."

"Yes, Princess." Liu Bo turned and left.

Chu Yun and the others looked gossipy, "Isn't this bastard unwilling to get married? Now he's acting first and asking for permission later. He's really bold.

Qiyan, what are you going to do?"

Lan Qiyan shook his hair and said, "If it is really his fault, then he must take responsibility, but one thing needs to be ruled out."

"Are you afraid that the girl used something bad on Xiao Xiu?"

"That's what I'm worried about. Getting pregnant while taking medication is not good for the child. Look at Zhezhe. If she doesn't continue taking medication, it's doubtful whether the child can survive."

"Mom, I'll take the kids down, you guys go take a look."

"Niece-in-law, I want to go see your uncle too."

Lan Ranzhi's face turned black, and Yu Ziqi raised his eyebrows, "Why? I'm your father-in-law's biological brother, so it's only natural for me to call you my niece-in-law."

Lan Ranzhi was helpless, "Yes, uncle, please go ahead."

Li Shuyu slapped him and said, "Don't pretend to be an elder here. Take the little guys and get out."

Yu Ziqi covered her head and said, "Mom, you can't hit me like this. As an elder, my eldest brother is not at home, so I have to go and see him, right, sister-in-law?"

"Let's go, let's go to the flower hall." As soon as Lan Qiyan said this, the family walked towards the flower hall in a mighty manner.

The mother and daughter in the flower hall were very nervous. They were not there to blackmail anyone. If Lord Yu was unwilling to acknowledge them, then he could send them to a place where no one knew them. He couldn't force the child to death.

Moreover, the eldest princess has always been very easy-going, which is why they dared to come.

"The princess is here!" With a loud shout, the mother and daughter knelt down hurriedly. Lan Qiyan strode over and helped them up. "No need to be polite, take a seat."

The mother and daughter were terrified and looked up cautiously, only to see a woman in a bright red corseted gown. She had a fair face and a bright smile, and her jet-black hair was simply tied into a bun.

"What should I call you two?" Lan Qiyan asked with a smile while sitting in the main seat.

"Replying to the Princess, I am Tian Cao, this is my eldest daughter Wu You!"

"You can call yourself me in this palace!"

The mother and daughter wanted to kneel down in fear again, but Lan Qiyan waved his hand, "Don't kneel, there's no need for so much formality. Let's talk about what's going on. Tell me what's going on."

Tian Cao looked at his daughter and said, "Tell me the truth, Princess. Although we are common people, we also have dignity. The news that my daughter is pregnant has spread throughout the village. If there is no reason, she will not survive.

We know that we cannot marry Master Yu, so we only ask the princess to find out the truth and place my daughter in a place where no one knows her. It is better than losing her life in vain."

Lan Qiyan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation. Wu You, what exactly is going on?"

According to Wu You's narration, it turned out that when Yu Xiu went down to survey the land, he got some kind of aphrodisiac from somewhere, and happened to see Wu You working, so he directly pulled him into the cave...

Afterwards, he gave the jade pendant he carried with him to Wu You and asked her to bring it to the princess's mansion to find him.

Originally, she planned not to come, but she didn't expect that she was pregnant. The matter was spread by her cousin and aunt, and the villagers pointed fingers at her. She had no choice but to come.

Just as he finished speaking, Yu Xiu came back. After seeing Wu You, he knelt down in front of Lan Qiyan and said, "Mother, I am wrong."

"Do you admit your mistake?" Lan Qiyan asked.

Yu Xiu kowtowed again, "My son was framed and accidentally hurt Wu You. I admit my mistake and I am fully responsible for this matter."

"Okay, since Wu You is already pregnant, I'll have someone pick a good day for you to get married. She will be your wife. Are you willing, Wu You?"

Tian Cao still didn't quite believe it. Was it really that simple?

"Princess, don't you want to investigate?"

Lan Qiyan chuckled, "We've investigated it. If a man is no longer able to do something, he has to take responsibility. Do you still need to doubt it?"

"But...but you are from a wealthy family with such a high status, and our Wu You is just an ordinary woman. I dare not take the position of the legal wife."

"In our family, there is no such thing as being well-matched. As long as the two people are sincere to each other, that's all that matters.

Besides, Yu Xiu and I were born into commoner families. Eight years ago, I was still farming in Yushi Village. Now, thanks to the emperor's grace, I have become a princess.

So you don't have to panic. Since they two have this fate, I treat them equally.

The betrothal gifts will not be less than those of the eldest and third sons. Wu You can stay here for the time being. I will ask the imperial physician to come and take a look later."

Wu You was flattered. She was a commoner woman and became Lord Yu's wife. She thought that she couldn't even keep her child this time. The princess was so nice that she actually let Lord Yu marry her.

Lan Qiyan couldn't understand why a woman lost her innocence for no reason, became pregnant, and faced being despised by the world, and the people who made her suffer all this gave her a little sweetness, and she would actually be grateful to them.

To what extent have the thoughts of women in this world been restricted?

I have worked hard for so many years, but there is not much result yet.

Because 95% of the girls who went to girls' schools gave up halfway, they thought it was easier to stay at home and take care of their husbands and children than to pursue a career in politics.

Only then did Lan Qiyan understand that in the feudal era that lasted for more than two thousand years, perhaps it was not that no one had tried to change the fate of women, but that all of them had failed.

She is no exception and is also a loser in reform. It is extremely difficult to change women in a patriarchal society.

Yu Xiu: Mother, I'm a father now, can you think more moderately? What about the betrothal gift?

Lan Qiyan: Crowdfunding!

So when the news of Yu Xiu's marriage spread, some people started to get scared again...
