After crossing, I was forced to hold on to my thighs and build a kingdom

Chen Yuehua watched her daughter's tiny figure disappear outside the door, then turned to look at Su Chenghe, and asked in confusion, "My sister-in-law is pregnant, and the princess is so concerned about her. During this extraordinary period, we shouldn't have too much contact with Shaoguangyuan. Isn't this something we both know?"

"Especially today, she confirmed she was pregnant with twins, and the princess has been taking extra care of her. Our Anhe Courtyard was never favored by the princess to begin with, and now I can't wait to stay away from her Shaoguang Courtyard, for fear of getting into any unnecessary trouble."

"I've been keeping Ying'er away from Shaoguangyuan for quite some time now, just to avoid suspicion if anything happens. If you suddenly agree to Ying'er like this tonight, I won't be able to comfort her when she comes crying tomorrow."

Chen Yuehua's tone was filled with complaints, and she was obviously very dissatisfied with Su Cheng and Qingpiaopiao's agreement to let her daughter go to Shaoguangyuan.

Normally, Su Chenghe would have been furious and scolded his wife for such a complaint. However, tonight, he was unusually calm and even walked forward to hold Chen Yuehua's hand affectionately.

Chen Yuehua was so frightened that she thought he was going to attack her. She hurriedly dodged sideways, whispering in her defense: "I didn't say anything wrong, what are you going to do?"

Su Chenghe was slightly startled by his wife's intense reaction, a flash of disdain flashing across his eyes. Although he quickly regained his composure, he couldn't help but curse in his heart: "What a hopeless fool!"

"Don't be nervous, Yuehua. I just want to give you a hand."

After saying this, Su Chenghe reached out and put his arm around Chen Yuehua's shoulders, his attitude intimate and his tone gentle, "Yuehua, you are indeed right. Since my sister-in-law got pregnant, our Anhe Courtyard has avoided Shaoguang Courtyard and can indeed avoid suspicion."

He sighed deeply and spoke earnestly, "But this is a different time. Now my second brother has gone to the capital, and my father has gone to the military camp. I am the only man left in the mansion. In this situation, if we can be kind and take care of my younger brother and his wife, then when my father and second brother return, wouldn't our Anhe Courtyard also benefit from this?"

"Now that I'm unemployed in the mansion, it's naturally inconvenient for a man to go to Shaoguang Courtyard. You're worried that the princess will get suspicious, so it's not convenient for you to go to Shaoguang Courtyard either. But Zhen'er can go. She's less than four years old and has always liked my second sister-in-law. Coincidentally, my sister-in-law also loves this niece very much."

"In that case, let Zhen'er go to Shaoguang Court more often. First, it can show the closeness of our Anhe Court to Shaoguang Court. Second, it can help her get closer to her younger siblings. When Zhen'er grows up, with the affection they've cultivated since childhood, as the younger sibling of the Crown Prince's Consort, will she be at a disadvantage?"

After hearing Su Chenghe's words, Chen Yuehua couldn't help but look thoughtful.

After the failed attempt to frame Su Chengan three years ago and the forced resignation of Anheyuan, Chen Yuehua still felt jealous and resentful towards Jinchu, but she no longer dared to have the ambition to have Anheyuan replace Shaoguangyuan.

Especially after being beaten several times by Jinchu and Princess Du, Chen Yuehua now completely admitted defeat and didn't even dare to think about competing with Jinchu.

This is also why she suddenly supported her daughter to get close to Jinchu. Her purpose was to repair the relationship with Jinchu so that when Shaoguangyuan came to power in the future, she would show mercy and let Anheyuan go.

Chen Yuehua's original intention was to get closer to Shaoguangyuan and take advantage of it. After learning that Jinchu was pregnant, in order to avoid trouble, she naturally began to restrain Su Yingzhen from going to Shaoguangyuan.

Such inconsistent actions, after all, are just a matter of being cautious and weighing the pros and cons.

Su Chenghe has always had the same attitude as hers, but he suddenly changed his mind tonight and was willing to take the risk to let the child go to Shaoguangyuan again. If she said it was really for the future, she always felt it was a bit far-fetched.

However, what Su Chenghe said made sense. Ying'er was the only girl he had. It was human nature for a father to think more about his child. It seemed understandable now.

So, Chen Yuehua tentatively asked, "So, Master, do you mean that from now on we won't avoid suspicion and let Ying'er go to Shaoguangyuan often to get close to my sister-in-law?"

"Yes, we are family. I was wrong before, but now I have come to terms with it. In terms of physical ability and status, I am far inferior to my second brother. Let's take this opportunity to repair our relationship. If the Dingbei Palace prospers in the future, we can just live peacefully and live a life of luxury. This kind of life is not bad either."

"Master, do you really think so? Are you really not going to compete with my second brother for that position anymore?"

Chen Yuehua was greatly surprised to hear her husband, who had always been unwilling to accept, suddenly say such words.

"I won't fight anymore, I won't fight anymore! Everything is determined by fate, and we have no control over it. I'm not in good health, so I can't win against my second brother. Even if I did, we only have this one Zhen'er, and she will become someone else's bride in the future, right?"

Hearing Su Chenghe's last words, Chen Yuehua couldn't help but shudder. What the old man said was quite amusing. Could it be that he already knew that his body was weak and it would be difficult for him to get pregnant again?

She suppressed her irritation and forced a smile: "Master, it's too early to say that. We are both still young. It's impossible for Ying'er to be the only child."

Seeing Su Chenghe's eyes flicker slightly and the corners of his lips curled up, Chen Yuehua quickly added, "However, if Master can calm down and stop being so caught up in the struggle for power, our future life will definitely be much easier. I am also very happy that Master can think this way."

Seeing the relieved look on his wife's face, Su Chenghe couldn't help but curse inwardly again: "Cowardly bitch!"

He no longer had the heart to coax this foolish woman, so he changed the subject and said, "I just promised Zhen'er that I would give her her favorite candied hawthorn fruit tomorrow. It's getting late now, so I have to tell Zhang to make the candied hawthorn fruit early tomorrow so that Zhen'er won't miss her trip to Shaoguangyuan."

"Just ask Zhang's servant to give instructions. Why do you have to go there in person?" Seeing Su Chenghe getting ready to leave, Chen Yuehua reluctantly tried to stop him.

"I've already promised Zhen'er this time, so I have to go and explain it in person to feel at ease. I have something to do in my study tonight, so I won't be coming over. You should also get settled early."

After Su Chenghe said this, he hurried out without waiting for Chen Yuehua's response.

Looking at her husband's receding back, Chen Yuehua threw the handkerchief in her hand angrily and sat down weakly.

Su Chenghe left the main room and went straight to the residence of Su Yingzhen's wet nurse Zhang. Hearing Su Chenghe's voice, Zhang opened the door cautiously.

After entering the house, he immediately embraced Zhang and asked with a playful smile: "How was your day? Did my child give my Jiaojiao any trouble?"

"I think your child is a spoiled child, but he is just a coquettish person with his mouth!"

Zhang turned around and pretended to be about to cry, "It's been three months since I was pregnant, and there's still no news from Master. If I keep waiting like this, my belly will burst sooner or later. If Madam finds out, not only your Jiaojiao, but even your child will be in trouble!"

"Don't talk nonsense! You have to take good care of my child. If anything happens to my child, I won't let you do it!" Su Chenghe frowned and glared at Zhang, scolding.

"Since Master cares so much about your child, why don't you think of a way to give him a suitable identity?" Zhang pinched her handkerchief and cried weakly.

This pitiful look softened the man's heart immediately. Su Chenghe hugged the woman again and comforted her gently: "Don't cry, it hurts me. I came to you this time because I have come up with a solution!"

Zhang's eyes lit up, and she said with a tearful smile, "Then why don't you tell me quickly, so that I can feel at ease."
