When Su Zhizhi heard what Xie Chengjin said, she smiled bitterly and said, "I really should have a good rest these two days, otherwise I'm afraid I'll lose my life." As she spoke, Su Zhizhi rubbed her tired eyes.

Xie Chengjin touched the top of Su Zhizhi's head and comforted her, "Get some rest soon. You must have been very busy during the wedding that day."

In the blink of an eye, the wedding day arrived. The wedding was scheduled to be held in the princess's mansion. Xie Chengjin and Su Zhizhi arrived at the princess's mansion early, presented the gifts and presents, and were respectfully invited by the servants of the princess's mansion to sit in the best seats in the front, waiting for the wedding to begin.

The wedding was held as normal without any problems. Everything went very smoothly. Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin sat there, watching the two newlyweds bow to their parents three times. Su Zhizhi's eyes couldn't help but become moist.

Xie Chengjin noticed Su Zhizhi's mood and offered her a handkerchief considerately, saying, "Don't cry on this happy day. Be careful of your eyes."

Su Zhizhi wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "I'm just excited. I didn't expect these two to achieve a happy ending after such a long time."

Thinking back to Xu Miao and Shen Wenjun, Su Zhizhi felt very emotional.

After the wedding, Su Zhizhi tactfully did not go forward to disturb them, but returned to her own house like Xie Chengjin and other guests.

Just a few days into their uneventful days, Su Zhizhi received news from the Princess's Mansion that Xu Miao was pregnant. Su Zhizhi was immediately surprised, but besides being surprised, she was even more happy for Xu Miao. "When did it happen? So soon?"

The person who brought the news explained, "We just discovered it this morning. Her Royal Highness was feeling unwell, so she called in the imperial physician. Unexpectedly, she's pregnant. It's still early in the pregnancy, so she needs to take good care of herself."

Meng's mother was right next to Su Zhizhi. When she heard the news, she also began to think about it, but Su Zhizhi didn't notice.

After giving the reward, the messenger left, but Su Zhizhi was still very happy. Mother Meng beside her couldn't help but sighed, "I didn't expect that Princess Changle would get pregnant not long after getting married. This is really exciting."

Su Zhizhi nodded happily, but soon she realized that something seemed amiss with Meng Mu's words. She asked, "Mother, what is this..."

Mother Meng sighed slightly, "Zhizhi, I'm old now, and Peizhi is still young and unmarried. You and Chengjin have been married for quite some time, yet you still don't have any children. I understand that you've had so much going on, and it's not the right time for pregnancy. But now that things are almost settled, isn't it time for you two to have a child?"

Su Zhizhi's face suddenly turned bitter, "...Mother..."

"Zhizhi, you are not young anymore. If you don't have any more children, I'm afraid that people outside will say bad things about you," Meng's mother advised earnestly.

Su Zhizhi could only smile and nod. She had never imagined that one day she would be urged to have a child.

She smiled and said, "Mother, please stop nagging me. I understand."

Mother Meng could sense Su Zhizhi's subtle resistance. She opened her mouth but still said nothing. She just sighed slightly and changed the subject.

At night, Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin lay in bed, neither of them speaking. Xie Chengjin noticed that Su Zhizhi was not feeling well, so he pulled her over and asked softly, "What happened? You seem a little unhappy?"

Su Zhizhi was silent for a moment, then she sighed deeply, but still said nothing. She didn't know how to talk to Xie Chengjin about this matter.

Xie Chengjin kept pestering Su Zhizhi to tell him. Su Zhizhi was getting a little impatient and told Xie Chengjin, "Did you know that Xu Miao is pregnant?"

Xie Chengjin thought about it and nodded, "Of course, Shen Wenjun told me."

"The princess's residence also sent someone to talk about this today. My mother was with me at the time, so she also knew about it, and then..." Su Zhizhi found it difficult to say the rest of the words.

But Xie Chengjin had already heard the hidden meaning of Su Zhizhi's words, "So, mother wants you to have a child too?"

Su Zhizhi's face turned red instantly, but she nodded slowly.

Xie Chengjin's eyes darkened instantly. Su Zhizhi sensed something was wrong, but before she could escape, Xie Chengjin grabbed her waist and pinned her down. He whispered in Su Zhizhi's ear, his voice a little hoarse, "Since my mother has said so, I'll try my best."

After saying that, Su Zhizhi's pupils suddenly shrank, and she kept pushing him away with her hands. She wanted to say something, but Xie Chengjin didn't give Su Zhizhi a chance at all. He leaned down and sealed her feelings with a kiss.

Because of Meng Mu's words, Su Zhizhi's waist didn't feel comfortable for a long time. On the contrary, Xie Chengjin looked satisfied every day, which made Su Zhizhi feel itchy.

But even so, Su Zhizhi's belly still showed no signs of pregnancy.

This really worried Meng Mu. She was very distressed about this and even went to see a doctor just to help Su Zhizhi recover.

Looking at the doctor standing in front of her, Su Zhizhi felt a headache. She smiled bitterly and sent the doctor away. Then she looked at Meng Mu helplessly, "Mother, why are you so anxious? Just let everything go. There's really nothing wrong with my body. Besides, we will have a child eventually. Why rush it now?"

Although this was true, Meng Mu still said, "Zhizhi, that doctor is quite reliable. Let's let him take a look and give him some treatment. Maybe he will get better."

Seeing Meng Mu's expression, Su Zhizhi really didn't want to refuse, so she reluctantly agreed.

After a few more days of recuperation, Su Zhizhi finally had time to go out for a walk. She originally wanted to ask Xu Miao to go to the teahouse for tea together, but Xu Miao was pregnant and could not go out easily, so Su Zhizhi could only go out alone to relax.

She walked aimlessly on the street, looking around. When she felt tired, she randomly found a teahouse on the side of the road. Although it was not as good as the favorite places of dignitaries, it also had its own unique charm.
