My bedroom is connected to ancient times, I am in love with the prince

The Zhenbei Marquis Mansion consists of two parts: the mansion and the garden. The mansion is further divided into the front yard and the back yard.

Xie Beiheng only took her to visit the front yard of the Marquis' Mansion. The front yard was so big that Lin Xiangxiang's eyes could not contain it all. She was dazzled and amazed all the way!!!

The entire mansion is dotted with pavilions, terraces and towers, and the flying eaves and green tiles complement each other. The intertwining and interweaving show exquisite elegance, while retaining a grand and spectacular atmosphere.

The walls of every hall and room are covered with calligraphy and paintings by famous artists, and all the furniture is carefully crafted from the finest mahogany.

Oh my! How beautiful it is, how luxurious it is, how exquisite it is!

Lin Xiangxiang was as excited as a little bird, looking around and didn't feel tired at all while walking around.

After a quick walk around, it was almost dark and Lin Xiangxiang only then felt her feet were extremely sore!

She quickly pulled Xie Beiheng back, as her feet would be broken if she continued walking.

Seeing that her legs were sore, Xie Beiheng wanted to ask someone to carry her on their shoulders, but she was determined not to do this conspicuous thing.

Just as they were on their way back to Feixingyuan, suddenly, a woman came towards them. To be exact, it was a very beautiful woman with slender shoulders and waist, gentle and elegant, and otherworldly. A maid followed closely behind her.

When she saw Xie Beiheng and Lin Xiangxiang, she and her maid stepped forward and bowed, "Greetings, my Lord, and my Lady."

Lin Xiangxiang looked at the person in front of her and felt that the clusters of flowers on both sides of the road, which were originally graceful and beautiful, were all dull at this moment.

It is very beautiful!

But Lin Xiangxiang didn't recognize her, so she turned to look at Xie Beiheng beside her with a questioning look in her eyes.

Xie Beiheng introduced her, "This is Concubine Fang from the mansion."

Aunt Fang?

Lin Xiangxiang recalled the record in "Dreamwalking Through the Nations". The Marquis of Zhenbei had a bastard son named Xie Beiyu. Could it be that he was born to this concubine Fang?

Thinking of this, Lin Xiangxiang looked at her face again, nodded to her, and smiled back.

Xie Beiheng replied indifferently, "No need to be polite."

He prepared to take Lin Xiangxiang back to Feixingyuan.

Suddenly remembering something, he stopped and asked Aunt Fang, "Has my second brother not returned home yet?"

Aunt Fang replied respectfully, "In reply to the prince, the second young master sent someone to deliver a letter back to the mansion today, saying that he will return home tomorrow."

Just as she finished speaking, she remembered that it was against the rules for her to be in the front yard at this time, and she explained softly, "I just heard that the old woman who has served in the mansion for more than twenty years is not feeling well, so I decided to go and see her."

Xie Beiheng nodded at her, "Yeah."

Then, Aunt Fang and her maid moved sideways to the side of the road.

Xie Beiheng took Lin Xiangxiang and continued walking towards Feixingyuan.

After walking a distance, Lin Xiangxiang asked, "Xie Beiyu, is this Concubine Fang's child?"

Xie Beiheng nodded, "Yes."

Lin Xiangxiang was curious for a moment and continued to ask: "Besides Xie Beiyu, how many brothers and sisters do you have?"

"Nothing."

Hearing this answer, Lin Xiangxiang was shocked and said bluntly: "Didn't you say that people in ancient times had three wives and four concubines, and a lot of legitimate sons and daughters, as well as illegitimate sons and daughters?"

Xie Beiheng glanced at her and said calmly, "Father only has one concubine, Aunt Fang."

"Huh?" Lin Xiangxiang was even more shocked.

If you want to say that he is loyal, he clearly has a concubine, but if you want to say that he is amorous, he is the Marquis of Zhenbei, but he only has one concubine.

Xie Beiheng turned to look at her expression, then listened to the tone of her words and roughly guessed what she was thinking.

"As long as I can remember, my father and mother have always had a good relationship. You could say they were inseparable and in perfect harmony."

"Then how..."

Lin Xiangxiang wanted to ask, if they had such a good relationship, why was he the only legitimate son, and why was there a concubine Fang, and why did she give birth to a bastard son.

Xie Beiheng guessed what she was going to ask and replied, "My mother was injured when she gave birth to me, and she has never been pregnant since then."

Lin Xiangxiang knew that giving birth in ancient times was indeed not easy, and it could cause hemorrhage and difficult labor.

"Medical care in ancient times was relatively poor, and childbirth was indeed very risky."

Hearing this, Xie Beiheng paused and spoke slowly: "It's not entirely because of this."

Lin Xiangxiang was curious, "Is there any other reason?"

After asking, Lin Xiangxiang could feel Xie Beiheng's aura suddenly turned cold. She took a few steps forward and heard him say:

"Back then, not long after my father and mother got married, he was ordered to go to war. Right after he left, my mother was diagnosed with pregnancy. In order not to affect my father's battles at the front, my mother concealed the news of her pregnancy from my father."

"When my mother was nine months pregnant, my father returned from his expedition to the capital. He brought a woman with him. She was five months pregnant. My mother was disturbed by the pregnancy and gave birth prematurely. She has been in poor health ever since."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xiangxiang asked in shock: "That woman is Aunt Fang? Is the child in her belly Xie Beiyu?"

Xie Beiheng nodded.

Lin Xiangxiang frowned deeply.

"Why? Didn't they say your father and mother had a very good relationship?"

Anger welled up in her chest, and her tone grew more agitated. "How could they do such a thing? Her husband was away at war, and her pregnant wife didn't dare tell him for fear of upsetting him. She went through nine months of hardship and pregnancy, eagerly anticipating the day of his triumphant return. And then her husband actually returned home with another woman, who's pregnant."

Lin Xiangxiang could no longer contain the anger in her heart.

"Your father is a scumbag!"

Xie Beiheng remained silent for a long time. After the two of them passed through another corridor, his voice was heard again.

"Only after returning home did my father find out that my mother was pregnant. He immediately felt extremely remorseful and regretted that he should not have rashly brought Concubine Fang back home."

Lin Xiangxiang disagreed, "This doesn't get rid of the fact that he's a scumbag!"

"After my mother gave birth to me, the imperial physician diagnosed her with a damaged foundation. She would need to rely on herbal remedies for the rest of her life and would never conceive again. My father was devastated and blamed himself endlessly."

Lin Xiangxiang did not answer. No matter how sad and self-blaming she was, the hurt was still hurt.

Xie Beiheng continued, "My mother was disheartened at the time and didn't want to see my father again. My father never found a chance to admit his mistakes and explain things to her."

Lin Xiangxiang brought me into this. If it were me, I would probably file for divorce on the spot!

"Later, my father sneaked into my mother's room at night, and she learned the whole story."

"The reason? What's the reason? Could anyone force him to do this?"

Lin Xiangxiang believes that a man who brings his pregnant mistress to his wife's home while she is pregnant, causing her to have a premature birth and become infertile for life, cannot wash his name off no matter how hard he tries.

Even though he didn't know his wife was pregnant, hurt was hurt!
