Quick Wear: The Beautiful and Charming Heroine Relies on Giving Birth to a Position

Chapter 164: Champion (4000 words thanks to Queying opiz)

Fang Yanran was taken away by the Fang Mansion. Even though she was so reluctant to leave the Marquis' Mansion, Xu Zekun had made up his mind. No matter how much she tried to humble herself and admit her mistakes, it was of no avail.

When she returned home and heard the rumors and people pointing fingers at her, she fainted.

All this happened so quickly. Overnight, she went from being the envied prince's consort to a divorced woman who was ridiculed by everyone.

The imperial concubine said that since her younger sister had done such a shameless and disgraceful thing, only a foot of white silk or shaving her head to become a nun could atone for her sin.

With the words "shameless scandal", she cleared herself from it. She had forgotten about Fang Yanran and Feng Shaoxuan's secret meeting, but she was the one who passed on the information.

Fang Yanran once again felt isolated and helpless. The Fang family was reluctant to let her die, but becoming a nun was inevitable. Even so, Fang Yanran's uncle and aunt, and even her uncle and aunt, hated Fang Yanran to the core, because after what happened to her, it would be difficult for other girls in the family to get married in the future.

When the divorce was first discussed, Fang Yanran's heart died, not to mention that she later became a nun and cut off her long hair. She was such a beauty-loving person that she would wash her black hair carefully every time, then absorb the moisture bit by bit with cotton cloth, and then apply floral oil on each strand.

But now, there is nothing.

Her life was ultimately ruined. In the end, she was unloved by her mother, uncared for by her sister, and despised by everyone.

When a proud lady of a noble family is abandoned, the blow she suffers is devastating.

After only a few years in the temple, Fang Yanran died of depression.

When she was dying, the person that came to her mind was Xu Zekun. She remembered that day, the young and handsome general lifted her red veil and said, "Yanran..."

She also had a brief encounter with happiness.

-

The divorce issue dragged on for several months, and the atmosphere in the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion was not very cheerful. Even the old lady felt a little regretful - the price of turning the situation upside down for a concubine was too high.

Although the emperor reprimanded Xu Zekun for this matter, the old lady was still worried about the imperial concubine's whispers, fearing that the emperor would take action in the future.

Wu did not blame Xu Zekun for all this, but instead blamed it all on Yao Susu.

So, the old lady specifically called Xu Zekun over and reiterated, "Let's not talk about the past. Since we're divorced, Mother will continue to choose a noble lady from a high-class family to be your legal wife." Wu's eyes seemed to pierce people's hearts. "I know everything you're thinking, but give up this idea as soon as possible. As long as I'm alive, it's impossible."

Xu Zekun narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and he nodded lightly.

He did have the idea of ​​making Susu his wife. He loved her and wanted to give her everything, but he knew that this was not an easy hurdle for her mother. He only hoped that once the children were born... and seeing their lovely children, their mother would change her attitude.

Xu Zekun skipped this topic and turned to talk about choosing a midwife.

Susu's belly is already eight months old. Because she is carrying twins, the pregnancy is particularly obvious. Xu Zekun sometimes gets scared when he looks at her.

Not to mention that Mother Zhu said that "twins are prone to premature birth", which made Xu Zekun even more worried: "Susu will be born in two months. My son thinks now is the time to bring the midwife and wet nurse into the house."

Although Mrs. Wu had some opinions about Yao Susu because of Xu Zekun's excessive attention to her, she still attached great importance to the child in her belly. Childbirth is a big deal, and the midwife must be carefully selected.

She softened her tone and nodded, "This is a big deal. Don't worry, I'll make all the arrangements. When the child is born, I'll bring him to Shou'an Hall and I'll raise him myself."

-

It was the time when the spring grass was like smoke and the willows were swaying. The Ningyuan Marquis Mansion had planted a large area of ​​flower trees, which were also in bloom at this time. Pear blossoms, peach blossoms, and apricot blossoms were in full bloom.

After lunch, Yao Susu was supported by her mother Zhu and took a walk by the pond. After her last miscarriage, she stayed in bed for two months and her bones were almost soft. If it weren't for her mother Zhu's advice that she should walk more in the late pregnancy to facilitate delivery, Xu Zekun would still not be at ease letting her go out.

Things changed in the Ningyuan Marquis's mansion. Princess Jianing divorced the Crown Prince, just because she caused Concubine Yao to have a miscarriage.

Yao Susu's status in the mansion can be seen from this. Not to mention the servants in Yingxue Pavilion, any servant in the mansion, when they see Aunt Yao, they will hold their breath and serve her well.

Mother Zhu supported Yao Susu and looked carefully at the ground to make sure there were no stones or other obstacles that might trip her.

Yao Susu had been living comfortably for the past two months, and now her complexion was in great shape. She supported her waist, slightly raised her little face, basking in the sunshine, and sighed, "Spring is still warm."

"Yes, it is said that the young masters were born in the early summer, which is neither too cold nor too hot. It is a perfect time."

Yao Susu listened to what Mother Zhu said and couldn't help but touch her pregnant belly. The two children were born healthy and moved from time to time, which made her look forward to the children.

Because of the system, she knew that the baby in her belly was a twin, a boy and a girl, but she still couldn't help but imagine what the two children looked like, whether they looked more like her or more like Xu Zekun.

Although they were out for a walk, they didn't dare to walk too much. After walking about five hundred steps, Yao Susu was helped back to Yingxue Pavilion.

The baby is about to be born, and all necessary things have been prepared, such as the baby's small clothes and quilts, all of which are made of the finest cloud satin, and not a single thread can be left, for fear of scratching the baby's delicate skin.

The jade screen was presented to Yao Susu. Yao Susu touched it with her hand and felt it was incredibly soft. She sighed in her heart that the children were indeed born in a honey pot.

After a while, Xu Zekun came in from outside. Yao Susu was delighted to see him and showed him the small clothes she had prepared with great interest. There was unconcealable tenderness in Xu Zekun's eyes.

But Yao Susu still keenly noticed that Xu Zekun was a little strange. When he looked at her, he seemed to be hesitant to say something.

"Grandpa, what's wrong with you?" Yao Susu asked with her eyes wide open and her head tilted.

Xu Zekun was actually a little confused because he had just received a special guest.

Yao Susu's cousin Zhong Qingxi.

In the autumn examination last year, Zhong Qingxi, a student from Huizhou, won the first place in the palace examination. He was chosen by the emperor as the top scholar and was awarded the position of editor in the Hanlin Academy.

He was a military general and didn't pay much attention to Zhong Qingxi, but he had heard of his name because students from poor families with extraordinary talent always attracted attention.

Thinking of the handsome man in the green robe just now, Xu Zekun couldn't control the suffocation in his heart.

As a man himself, he could sense the strangeness in Zhong Qingxi's expression when he talked about Yao Susu.

It was a kind of emotion that was suppressed but still surged.

However, at this moment, looking at Yao Susu's pale little face and a pair of puzzled eyes, Xu Zekun clenched his fists. She was his, and no one would change that.

"Nothing." Xu Zekun put his arm around Yao Susu's waist and led her to sit on the edge of the couch. His big hand habitually touched her big belly. "Are they moving today?"

"Yeah," Yao Susu nodded, a sweet smile on her lips, "I think they can't wait to come out."

"I've asked the imperial physician, and there's a high chance the twins will be born prematurely. You need to be careful these past few days and tell me if you feel any discomfort. The midwife has already been brought into the house. Don't be afraid, I'm here with you."

His voice was clear and sweet, and Yao Susu felt sweet in her heart when she heard his earnest advice.

She leaned into his arms and nodded obediently.

Xu Zekun took a deep breath. Although he didn't like her cousin very much, he had to tell Zhong Qingxi when she came to see her.

"Susu, your cousin is coming to the mansion today. Do you want to see him?"

"Cousin?" Yao Susu was a little surprised and delighted.

When her cousin was at her uncle's house, she was actually studying away from home, and the two of them didn't have much time to interact. But in her memory, her cousin was very nice to her. Every time he came home, he would bring her a gift, sometimes a sugar man, or a ceramic doll, all of which were very thoughtful.

"Really? Why did my cousin come to Beijing? Is he doing well?" Yao Susu's eyes sparkled with surprise.

Xu Zekun felt his chest tighten. "Well, he's doing well. He just won the top spot in the imperial examination last year."

"Really?" Yao Susu was really shocked. She always knew that her cousin was a good student and a famous child prodigy in the surrounding villages, but she didn't expect that he could win the first prize in the national imperial examination.

She was simply happy for her cousin, but she didn't notice Xu Zekun's gradually gloomy face and the chill that occasionally came from his body.

"It seems that Susu and her cousin have a good relationship." He casually picked up a strand of Yao Susu's hair that fell by her ear. It was soft and fragrant.

After Yao Susu was surprised, she realized that Xu Zekun was in a bad mood.

It seems that Fang Yanran was having a secret meeting with her cousin... Xu Zekun wouldn't think that she and her cousin had any affair.

She raised her eyes, glanced at Xu Zekun, and then said softly: "I was only thirteen years old when I left my uncle's house. Speaking of my cousin, it does bring back some memories of my childhood."

I'm only thirteen, still a kid. You don't think my cousin and I are having an affair, do you?!

Hearing her say this, Xu Zekun felt much better. He naturally believed Su Su, but he didn't trust Zhong Qingxi. "Do you want to meet Su Su?"

Yao Susu was in a dilemma. Now that she was pregnant, it was not very convenient for her to do so. "I will see my cousin after I give birth to the baby."

Only then did Xu Zekun nod.

At the gate of Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, there was a simple carriage, and sitting inside was Zhong Qingxi.

He had just confirmed with the Ningyuan Marquis's son that his cousin was Xu Zekun's current concubine.

It has been four years, he has been looking for his cousin for four whole years!

He still remembers that four years ago, when he came back from the academy with great joy, he was carrying a hairband he bought for his cousin. But when he got home, he saw his father with a sad face because he had broken his leg, and his mother with evasive eyes.

And no matter how hard he looked, he couldn't find his cousin. His mother was frightened by his frantic search for Yao Susu and tearfully told him the truth.

In order to treat her father's leg and pay for his education, her mother sold her cousin?

Zhong Qingxi is very talented, and he knows that sooner or later he will become successful, so he has always been arrogant as a scholar. However, there has never been a moment like this, when he hated his own incompetence so much!

My cousin was so young and beautiful, so one can imagine her fate after being sold.

He found the human trafficker who bought his cousin, but learned that he was just the first person to sell her. He had no idea where his cousin was sold to because she had been sold to many other people.

After he found out, he fell seriously ill and even had nightmares about his cousin being bullied.

Seeing his big reaction, his mother almost ran out of tears. When he woke up again, he became even more silent and studied like crazy. He knew that the higher he stood, the greater his chances of finding his cousin would be!

Last autumn, he won the first prize. When he was paraded through the streets on horseback, his handsome and elegant title captured the hearts of so many women that the streets were deserted. It was such a glorious occasion, but he felt so lonely inside.

He never stopped looking for Yao Susu, but there was still no news.

Until the news of the Ningyuan Marquis's son and the Jianing County Lady's divorce spread throughout the capital. Some people said it was because of the Ningyuan Marquis's concubine. Others said the concubine was of humble status, bought from the south by the Ningyuan Marquis's old lady, and her name seemed to be Yao Susu...

He was struck by lightning. Yao Susu? His cousin? Became the concubine of the Ningyuan Marquis' son?

His hands began to tremble unconsciously. Although he knew that his cousin had been sold, most likely to a wealthy family, he still had a lucky chance, maybe as a maid...

Concubine...she became someone else's woman.

Zhong Qingxi couldn't explain the feeling in his heart. He felt sorry for his cousin's life of drifting like duckweed in the past few years. Is it so easy to be someone's concubine?

Obviously, he wanted Susu to be his wife!

My heart suddenly ached, and a feeling of powerlessness came over me.

Zhong Qingxi smiled bitterly. Is it too late after all?

_

After hearing what Yao Susu meant, Xu Zekun came out and said to Zhong Qingxi, "Susu said she is in poor health and cannot see guests. When she gives birth to her son, we will invite Master Zhong to congratulate her."

Don't you want to... see him? Zhong Qingxi's face turned pale. It turned out that his cousin was not as eager for him as he was for her.

Looking at the man in front of him with hostile eyes, Zhong Qingxi smiled gently and said with a bow, "Then I will listen to the good news from the general."

He didn't stay for long, but Xu Zekun stood there looking at his carriage for a long time.

_

In May, as her due date approached, Yao Susu felt increasingly unable to eat. Her stomach felt heavy, and her waist and limbs ached. It was fine during the day, but she felt extremely uncomfortable at night. In addition, she had to get up frequently at night, and every day was a toss and turn.

Xu Zekun felt very distressed and stayed with Yao Susu every night. Since Susu became pregnant, Xu Zekun almost always slept with her in Yingxue Pavilion. When Wu found out, she was dissatisfied again.

How could a woman be so domineering towards her husband while being pregnant? What's worse, she even wants her husband to serve her?

Although she was angry, she thought about Yao Susu who was pregnant and about to give birth, so she didn't say anything to Yao Susu. She just called Xu Zekun over and scolded him.

Xu Zekun was already worried about Susu's delivery. After taking her pulse, the imperial physician said that the baby was growing fast and might not be born full-term, so he asked them to be careful. Therefore, he had been on edge these days.

Susu's pregnancy was difficult, and it was twins at that. The danger was self-evident. However, her mother had to pick on these trivial rules at this critical moment, which made him even more unwilling to deal with it.

Mrs. Wu could see that even though he was there, he hadn't heard a word. After he left, she threw a set of teacups and said, "It really proves the old saying that when you marry a wife, you forget your mother."
