Reborn to raise a baby, Princess Heng has become stronger

When Master Chen was awakened by his servants, he learned that his beloved grandson had a high fever and was unconscious. He was so frightened that he almost fell down.

He hurried to the yard where Chen Nuo was, and saw Chen Nuo twitching on the bed. His voice was shaking with heartache.

"Is this how you take care of people?"

The servants knelt on the ground and no one dared to say anything.

The court doctor came hurriedly, but after a thorough examination, he could not find out what the problem was.

I only dared to prescribe some fever-reducing prescriptions, but the medicine could never be fed into the patient's mouth.

It was an hour later when the imperial physician arrived and used silver needles to suppress the convulsions.

Chen Nuo was drenched in sweat, and looked like he had been fished out of the water.

The places that were whipped were covered with flesh and blood, and it was a horrible sight.

The imperial physician prescribed antipyretic medicine and bandaged Chen Nuo's wounds one by one.

After all this trouble, it was already dawn.

During this period, Mrs. Chen's tears never stopped.

Chen Kun arrived late and had no idea what his son had just experienced.

"What, what's going on?"

Mrs. Chen finally couldn't hold back her inner grief and anger, so she rushed to Chen Kun and slapped him in the face.

"You are so brave, bitch, how dare you lay hands on me."

Chen Kun was stunned, but when he came to his senses he slapped Mrs. Chen in the face without hesitation.

Mrs. Chen was unable to keep her balance and fell to the ground, covering her face.

She angrily questioned Chen Kun, "Where were you when my son needed you the most in this life-threatening moment?"

Chen Kun felt guilty, "I..."

"You were in that bitch Qiu Niang's house, and for a bitch who was not worthy of being on the stage, you even ignored your own eldest son. Chen Kun, oh Chen Kun, I really underestimated you!"

"What do you know! Qiu Niang is already pregnant with my child."

Mrs. Chen was shocked. "She is pregnant with your child?"

Then she laughed even more sarcastically, "She's pregnant and yet she dares to seduce men at the risk of her life. Can she really not live without men?"

"Snapped!"

Another slap landed on Mrs. Chen's face. Chen Kun jumped up and cursed, "How dare you talk like that? Is this how you are brought up as the eldest daughter of the Lin family?"

Madam Chen retorted, "You have accomplished nothing, yet you dare to imitate others and play with women. Is this the style of the eldest son of the Chen family?"

"Bitch, you're looking for death!"

Chen Kun was enraged and raised his hand high, wanting to slap Mrs. Chen again.

Master Chen shouted, "That's enough! Isn't it embarrassing enough?"

Chen Kun then realized that his father was also in the room, and he went up to him awkwardly to greet him.

Master Chen glanced at Madam Chen with a cold gaze, then motioned to Chen Kun, "Come out with me."

In the courtyard, Master Chen asked Chen Kun with a cold face, "Is there grass in your head?"

"Since Qiu Niang is pregnant, you should comfort her and let her give birth to the baby safely and smoothly."

"Are you trying to ruin your efforts by acting recklessly at this time?"

Chen Kun's head was buzzing with anger, but he still tried to defend himself, "The doctor said that her pregnancy is very stable and she has already passed the first trimester, so she will be fine."

"That's not OK!"

"Oh, Dad, don't worry, I know what's going on, nothing will go wrong."

"I said no and it means no. If you want women, you can pick a few younger ones. But don't touch those who are already pregnant. If you dare to ruin my plan, don't blame me for not even recognizing you."

"But you know, Dad, that's what I like. Young and immature people are not as good at handling things as them. At worst, I won't look for Qiu Niang tomorrow and will look for the others."

"How dare you, you bastard!"

Seeing that his father was really angry, Chen Kun finally behaved for a moment.

But as soon as Master Chen left, he returned to his old ways.

In the study, Master Chen was so angry that his face turned blue when he learned that Chen Nuo did not even enter the room to see his son, and turned around to go to another concubine's room to catch up on his sleep.

But before he could teach Chen Kun a lesson, the housekeeper came hurriedly reporting.

"Master, it's bad. Now the whole city is saying that the Queen is planning to adopt the eldest young master as her son."

Master Chen was stunned for a moment, then he slammed the table and shouted, "Nonsense!"

"It's all spread in the taverns and teahouses. It's said that the Queen used to love the young master so much that she even quarreled with the other queens in the harem for him."

"It is said that the young master committed a crime this time and was sent to the Ministry of Justice. According to the law, he should have been severely punished. However, because the Empress asked for him, the Emperor sent him back."

"She also said that in order to support the young master, the queen is not afraid of offending the Heng Palace."

Master Chen's face turned blue with anger.

"Where can I find the source of the information?"

The housekeeper shook his head. "It started spreading before nightfall yesterday, but we can't find the source."

Master Chen was so angry that he slapped his hands again and cursed, "This is a premeditated targeting, damn it!"

The housekeeper asked cautiously, "I don't quite understand. It's obvious to all that the Queen loves the young master. Even if the whole city knows about it, it's not a big deal, right?"

"And the Queen is pregnant and will soon have a child..."

Master Chen glanced at him sinisterly, and the butler immediately shut up.

"Go and find out who is spreading the news. Also, send someone into the palace to give the Queen a message, asking her not to act rashly for the time being."

"Yes," the butler took the order and left.

Only Master Chen was left sitting in a chair, deep in thought.

This matter seems harmless, but upon closer inspection it is full of traps.

Emperor Yuan Qing had long been wary of the Chen family and there was no way he would allow the Queen to adopt Chen Nuo, especially when the Queen was pregnant.

In addition, the Chen family and Prince Yu had secretly formed an alliance not long ago. If Prince Yu felt that adoption was a feasible route, he would never let the Chen family take advantage of it, after all, the royal family's surname was Lu.

The facts were just as he expected. When the news reached Prince Yu's Mansion, Lu Yuanjing smashed two large vases on the spot.

Firstly, he was angry that the Chen family dared to have such covetous thoughts, and secondly, he was angry that his most proud eldest son was ruined by the Chen family.

But before he could calm down, he heard that Meng Yunshang had cheated him out of one million taels of silver in Yuyifang.

Lu Yuanjing was so angry that he slapped the sisters Guo Yue and Guo Yao on the spot.

"Idiots, a room full of idiots!"

"How could this king marry useless fools like you!"

Guo Yao covered her face and sobbed, "It's all the fault of that bitch Meng Yunshang. She deliberately tricked me."

"And the Feather Clothes Shop, they must have deliberately raised the price. They are so lawless under the emperor's feet, and they clearly don't take you seriously. Your Majesty, please don't let them go. It's best to take people to search and confiscate the Feather Clothes Shop immediately."

Lu Yuanjing was so angry that he laughed, "You don't reflect on your own mistakes, and you still have the nerve to cry!"

"Go back here and reflect on your actions immediately. You can leave the house only when you have reflected on your actions well."

"Also, let the Guo family make up the one million taels of silver."

"Your Highness!" Guo Yao stamped her feet anxiously.

The Guo family is headed by the eldest branch. She had already offended the eldest branch by marrying in. There was no way the eldest branch would give her one million taels of silver to fill the hole for her.

But Lu Yuanjing's gloomy and cold face at this moment told her that this was not a joke.

She really wanted to be responsible for the one million taels herself.

"Sister," Guo Yao looked timidly at Guo Yue who had been silent beside her.

"Help me persuade the prince. How can my uncle give me a million taels of silver?"

This statement not only drags Guo Yue into the water, but also flatters the eldest wife of the Guo family in front of Lu Yuanjing.

Guo Yue's face, which was already blue, became even gloomier now.
