The mistress is not a cannon fodder, the cold prince falls in love with her every night

In the Zhuying Cottage, Prince Su looked at the dazed Sun Zhonghuai, threw the cake in his hand at him, and reminded him:

"Hey! The wine is spilled!"

The wine glass in his hand tilted at some point, and the wine spilled all over the floor without Sun Zhonghuai noticing.

He put down his glass and shouted:

"Old Zhao, move my books out to dry in the sun."

The old servant, Lao Zhao, was stunned for a moment, but soon agreed happily and went away happily.

Young Master, it's been years since I last read a book. Madam Pei is truly a noble lady!

"Books? You want to read a book?"

Prince Su was so shocked that he sat up straight. Is this still the Sun Zhonghuai he knew?

We have known each other for nine years, but when have I ever seen him read a book?

"Well, now that I've accepted a disciple, I can't show my weakness in front of him. That kid is no pushover, and his questions are tricky! From now on, I'll read in the study in the mornings and teach my disciple in the afternoons. As for you, you can do whatever you want."

Sun Zhonghuai stood up and replaced the wine with tea.

"No way! You don't care about me anymore?"

Prince Su looked aggrieved.

For the past nine years, he had been wandering around Shengjing, living a life of drunkenness and debauchery. Sun Zhonghuai was the only person around him who shared his ideals and was the closest to him. He often retreated to the small Zhuying House, as if the past would not disturb him.

But now, my only good friend is about to turn over a new leaf.

What should he do?

"Your Highness, it's been nine years. Some things should be left in the past. The dead cannot be resurrected, and Your Highness does not want you to dwell on the past. You must look forward."

Looking forward?

How will he look forward?

Nine years ago, the eldest brother of the emperor took control of his own army and launched a rebellion.

After the matter was exposed, he was sentenced to death by an imperial decree from his father.

The empress was so grief-stricken and angry that she asked to be deposed and hanged herself in Yongle Palace.

The Lu family was completely slaughtered overnight.

His mother, Concubine Jiang, was born into the Lu family as a retainer, and he and his eldest brother were as close as brothers since childhood.

When the incident happened, his father spared them because of his friendship with the Jiang family and his young age, and because he had verified that he and his mother were not involved. However, he had ignored them all these years.

Prince Su felt heartbroken when he thought of the tragedy that happened that year.

But he could do nothing except eat, drink and have fun all day long.

"Look forward? What lies ahead? What else can I hope for in this life? My father was so kind that he didn't kill my mother and me. What else can I expect from him?"

"Your Highness, have you ever considered that there might have been injustice in the case? The Queen and the Crown Prince have always been kind and tolerant. How could they commit treason? Moreover, with the Crown Prince's status, there is no need for him to rebel. With time, he will naturally be appointed Crown Prince."

Sun Zhonghuai had heard a little about what happened that day.

"Injustice? The Dali Temple, the Ministry of Justice, and the Imperial Palace have all investigated thoroughly, with witnesses and physical evidence. And my eldest brother has confessed. Zhong Huai, I hope more than anyone else that my eldest brother is innocent, but unfortunately..."

Speaking of the past, Prince Su couldn't help but sigh.

Unfortunately, after so many years of secret investigation, he had not found any strong clues. It was extremely difficult to overturn the case for his eldest brother.

……

Huan Ge'er's apprenticeship was confirmed, and Su Li had one less important thing on his mind.

Currently, the principal wife was still under house arrest, so there were no more troubles for the time being. The Qingshan Courtyard was united once again, the two children were growing up healthily, and even Pei Heng was getting better day by day. Su Li was filled with joy.

It would be perfect if I could have another child of my own.

Su Li touched her belly.

Unfortunately, things did not go as she wished. At night, she began to feel pain in her lower abdomen, not to mention her period.

Songzhi prepared some brown sugar ginger tea with great care. Songtao thoughtfully prepared a small heater for her to place on her belly. Even Xijie blew on her little hand, placed it on her belly, and rubbed it while saying:

"Blow, blow, the pain will go away. Mother, are you feeling better?"

Su Li burst out laughing. Xi Jie'er was so cute and considerate. No wonder they all said that daughters were considerate and caring. It really was true.

"Mother is much better. Sister Xi'er's magic is the most powerful!"

Xijieer worked even harder when she heard that, rubbing until she almost dozed off, and she still rubbed her from time to time, which made everyone feel distressed and amused.

But Nanny Li was unhappy.

"It's going to take a few days to get my bones straightened, and once that's done I won't be able to have sex for several months. Miss, your period is coming at a really bad time!"

Nanny Li counts on her fingers every day.

"Mammy, are all the summer clothes ready?" Su Li asked.

Madam Li said with a smile:

"Miss, please don't mind me nagging. The issue of having children is the most important thing. The sooner you get pregnant, the sooner your position in the Marquis' Mansion will be consolidated..."

Seeing that Nanny Li was about to start preaching again, Su Li quickly asked her to stop.

She knew that the nanny was truly doing this for her own good and was worried about her future every day, fearing that Pei Heng would suddenly die.

Su Li said:

"Mammy, I know all this. But the prince is so weak now, I'm afraid the quality of his semen is not high. Even if he manages to get pregnant, the child will be born with congenital defects."

Su Li understood the concept of eugenics and good parenting.

When Nanny Li heard what Su Li said, she found it very reasonable.

"That's the truth, but isn't this old servant worried?"

"Don't worry, Ma'am. The prince will definitely get better day by day. Haven't you seen that he looks much better these past few days?"

The nanny thought about it and agreed.

The prince had changed drastically since they first met. Back then, he looked like a living dead. She felt bad for the young lady thinking about sleeping with a living dead.

However, the prince looked like a human being now, with some flesh on his cheeks. He looked more refined and gentle than a normal person.

In the words of the young lady, it is a kind of sickly beauty.

"That's true."

Thinking of this, she felt happy. She went out to chat with Madam Zhou and Madam Chang and do some needlework.

As soon as her period came, Su Li became listless and lost all energy.

For several days in a row, I ate and slept, slept and ate, and would lie down instead of sitting, and sit instead of standing.

Seeing that she looked very tired all day, Pei Heng asked Ya Gu to prepare more nourishing soups for her three meals. He also restrained his thoughts and did not disturb her. He just drank medicine and ate in silence every day, eating with big mouthfuls!

……

The Marquis's wife had been locked up for a few days and could no longer bear it.

After listening to Ruyi's report on the other courtyard, he said coldly:

"You did a great job. If you can make Yan'er change his mind and completely ignore that woman, I will remember your great achievement. When Yan'er returns home in the future, I will make you my concubine."

Ruyi showed a look of joy and kowtowed repeatedly to express his gratitude.

"Madam, the young master said he needs another 30,000 taels of silver."

The Marquis's wife frowned.

"Why do you want more silver? Didn't you just give me ten thousand taels?"

Ruyi took the opportunity to complain:

"Madam, the young master used 20,000 taels of silver to buy a shop for that woman. In the past few days, he has also spent a lot of money to help her decorate the shop and buy goods!"

The more the Marquis listened, the more unhappy she became.

This guy surnamed Liu is simply a disaster!

However, since my son asked for it, I have to give him the money.

At this time, Nanny Qian came in and whispered softly in the Marquis's ear.

The more the Marquis listened, the happier she became. Finally, she said with great joy:

"Really? Did she really go to Liujing River to have a tryst with someone? Can you find out who the adulterer is?"

Aunt Qian smiled and said proudly:

"Madam, I went there specially to look. You can't even guess!"

"Don't show off!"

The Marquis’ wife said angrily.

Madam Qian calmed down and said:

"The adulterer is none other than Sun Zhonghuai, the unworthy eldest grandson of Dongge Grand Secretary Sun's family!"
