Marrying a royal playboy and becoming a glamorous matriarch

"Oh, so that's what it was about."

Wei Qingrou shook her head without hesitation and refused, "I don't want to take medicine."

Natural conception is the best approach; all medications have side effects, so it's best to minimize their use.

Besides, is it her fault that she can't get pregnant?

However, she is not the kind of leader who speaks ambiguously and leaves her subordinates to guess what she is thinking.

Let's just be frank.

"Chunxi, how long have the concubines been in the manor?"

This kind of thing is a basic skill for maids to gather information on; they already know everything about the concubines and are just waiting for their masters to ask.

So Chunxi said fluently, "It could take three to five years, or even ten years."

Chunxi quickly changed the subject, "You don't need to worry about these things. This isn't our master's first marriage. He has spent a lot of time with his concubines, but that won't bother you. After all, none of them have any children yet."

She placed a warm teacup beside Wei Qingrou and gently guided her.

Wei Qingrou picked up the teacup and took a few sips.

"So many women have spent over ten years trying to conceive without success. Is it something to do with me?"

"What are you saying? You've only been married for a few days!" Chunxi quickly reassured her.

However, as soon as the words left her mouth, Chunxi realized something was wrong and her eyes widened immediately.

"So many concubines haven't gotten pregnant, so it can't be your problem. It's... something's wrong with our master!"

Wei Qingrou nodded slightly, "This child is teachable."

Chunxi's expression immediately turned sorrowful.

"Oh no, this is terrible! We never thought our master was anything special, so why did this have to happen?"

So, don't rush.

Now it was Wei Qingrou's turn to comfort the head maid.

Chunxi was extremely anxious.

If the girl has a problem, even if she adopts a concubine's child and raises it under her own care, she will not have to worry about having no descendants.

But he's a man, by nature.

This is going to be difficult.

"No, we can't just sit here in a hurry. I'll go make some soup for you and the young master."

"Row."

Wei Qingrou smiled faintly and let her go.

As long as I don't drink bitter medicine, anything is fine.

When it was time for dinner, Qin Ping'an strolled back.

His face was gloomy and he didn't look well.

Wei Qingrou remained gentle and sweet, behaving like a dutiful little wife, so Qin Ping'an couldn't find anything to criticize her and simply enjoyed the moment.

Dinner was served one after another. Chunxi first served the two of them soup, which was a medicinal soup that she had carefully prepared to nourish yin and yang.

Qin Ping'an felt his mouth was dry, so he took a sip and drank it down, but then suddenly frowned.

"Chunxi, what kind of soup is this? It tastes awful."

Chunxi shuddered and dared not speak.

The flaw a man is most reluctant to admit is his inability to perform; it's a matter of a man's pride, and it's not something to be taken lightly.

If Qin Ping'an finds out that she secretly cooked medicinal food for him, he'll probably be furious.

Qin Pingan picked up a soup spoon and stirred the contents of the bowl. "Hey, this thing looks familiar, like some kind of whip."

Chunxi was so frightened that she wanted to run away, so she quickly asked Wei Qingrou for help.

Wei Qingrou feigned anger and scolded Chunxi: "This is ridiculous! This is my beauty soup, why did you serve it to the young master?"

Chunxi quickly knelt down to beg for forgiveness, saying, "This servant knows her mistake." But she was secretly relieved.

"Alright, you can go now. You don't need to serve me anymore."

Wei Qingrou still had a sour face.

Chunxi felt as if he had been granted a pardon and quickly took his leave.

Wei Qingrou took Qin Ping'an's bowl and poured his soup into her own.

"If you don't like it, I'll eat it. It's good for your skin and is very precious."

Seeing that she didn't mind the soup he had used, Qin Ping'an's anger subsided, and his gaze softened.

"Since it's for beauty and health, then I, the master, must have some too."

He took a spoon and ate it with great relish.

Wei Qingrou chuckled to herself. Men are such rebellious sons; she said no, but he insisted.

After finishing her meal, Wei Qingrou went to the courtyard to digest, with Qin Ping'an following closely behind her.

After walking around three times, he casually urged, "It's pitch black, what's the point of walking around? Let's wash up and go to bed."

Wei Qingrou was pulled into the house by him.

His eyes burned with intensity, like a ravenous tiger or wolf.

"Will you go first, or should I?"

He held her slender waist in his arms and gently kneaded it.

Wei Qingrou pushed his hand away.

“It’s time to sleep, but today isn’t the first or fifteenth of the month. You were in my room again last night. According to Mother’s new rules, you should go to your aunt’s room.”

Qin Ping'an paused in his hand, which was playing with the slender waist, and raised his head with a cold expression.

"There's nothing I can do; that's the rule my mother set, and I dare not disobey it," Wei Qingrou said with a faint smile.

"Heh." Qin Ping'an lowered his gaze and gave a cold laugh.

"Now, Madam, you can even be my master? Since you're not going to wash, then nobody should wash."

He yanked his belt hard and threw the man onto the brocade quilt.

"Oh dear, my husband, this is against the rules."

"I can go wherever I want! I am the rule!"

Qin Pingan bit Wei Qingrou's round shoulder hard, his eyes filled with ferocity, showing no pity whatsoever.

"If you dare to betray me, you should know what will happen to you."

Qin Ping'an wrapped her belt around their wrists, fastening it tightly together.

"I won't care what you say today."

"Oh no, Qin Ping'an!"

"If you keep messing around, this dress will probably be ruined again, and I won't pay for it."

Wei Qingrou took a deep breath. She really liked this dress and couldn't let it be torn. She had no choice but to bow down to the evil forces.

"Please have mercy on me, please be gentle, please have pity on me."

His usual tricks were completely useless, and Qin Ping'an's violent and chaotic actions became even more forceful.

"I don't like light things, I like heavy things. Just bear it."

Qin Ping'an was really angry and made a scene all night before finally stopping.

They didn't even have time for halftime; they charged around like madmen.

Wei Qingrou was sometimes on the verge of death, sometimes on the verge of tears. She had a great time, but her voice was hoarse and her back was broken.

When I was eating breakfast, my fingers felt weak as I held the chopsticks.

Qin Ping'an remained refreshed and radiant, exuding a roguish charm and a satisfied expression, his eyes and brows brimming with smugness.

Chunxi was deeply moved by Wei Qingrou's efforts throughout the night.

Although the mistress didn't say it, she still cared about everyone and knew that striving for improvement was a great thing.

She served the food with great enthusiasm, her eyes shining, and she looked at Wei Qingrou as if she were worshipping her.

"Madam, please eat more. You've had a long day."

Qin Pingan snatched Wei Qingrou's bowl and gulped it down.

"Chunxi, you only care about your wife, that's too biased."

Chunxi was stunned, and then quickly ladled out another bowl of nourishing yin and yang soup and handed it to her, saying, "This servant knows her mistake, please drink more."

Qin Ping'an was finally satisfied, but then looked at Wei Qingrou with eyes full of disdain.

"I was so tired last night, and you ignorant woman, don't you even care about your husband?"

Wei Qingrou quickly handed over the soup she was holding, saying, "It's all yours, drink up."

Even soup can't shut you up! You'll say all sorts of outrageous things.

Qin Ping'an was finally satisfied.

Before breakfast was finished, the princess came to deliver a message, asking Wei Qingrou to go to the North Courtyard immediately.

Wei Qingrou's heart skipped a beat.

Last night, Qin Ping'an did not follow the rules set by the princess. Is this to set rules for her?
