The daily life of a cold and aloof general raising his wife
Chapter 72 Choosing a Prince's Consort
"God is really helping me."
Song Wanqing was overjoyed; the child was gone, and the next step was Lin Ruoqing.
Du Siyu was shocked to learn that Lin Ruoqing had miscarried.
How did the child get lost?
"I heard that the second young mistress got angry by herself in the room and then her pregnancy was threatened."
Du Siyu shook her head upon hearing this, "Didn't the physician tell her not to get angry? Why won't she listen to advice?"
"Yes."
Everyone in the Marquis's mansion knew that Lin Ruoqing's pregnancy was unstable, and no one dared to provoke her normally.
Du Siyu said excitedly, "I must tell my older cousin about this big news."
"Yes, slave, go right away."
Pearl was stopped by Du Siyu before she even left the house.
"Wait, let's not go today, lest someone see us and start making wild guesses."
"Yes."
Pearl increasingly felt that her master was clever.
After finishing his shift, He Zhilin heard that Lin Ruoqing had miscarried, so he rushed to Lin Ruoqing's courtyard.
At this moment, Lin Ruoqing's face was pale and her eyes were lifeless as she stared at the bed curtains.
Caihuan cried and said, "Second Young Master, please go and see our girl."
He Zhilin was also heartbroken over the loss of his child, and he was still in shock.
When Lin Ruoqing heard that He Zhilin had arrived, she suddenly became excited.
"Give me back my child! Give me back my child!"
Caihuan exclaimed in surprise, "Young lady, the doctor doesn't want you to get excited right now! You can't move around!"
He Zhilin heard this, walked over to her, and reached out to grab her.
"Ruoqing, calm down."
He Zhilin, being a man, was naturally stronger than Lin Ruoqing, a woman who had just given birth. Unable to move, Lin Ruoqing bit He Zhilin's arm in a fit of anger.
Caihuan was terrified when she saw it.
Lin Ruoqing bit down hard.
He Zhilin frowned and endured it.
Soon his robes were soaked in blood.
Caihuan cried out, "Miss, let go quickly! This is the second young master!"
Lin Ruoqing wouldn't budge; she stared intently at He Zhilin until she had no strength left to let go.
"It's all your fault, it's all your fault..." Lin Ruoqing said and then burst into tears.
He Zhilin felt sorry for her; he knew that Lin Ruoqing must be heartbroken to lose the child.
“We will have more children,” He Zhilin comforted her from the side.
Lin Ruoqing shook her head, "It won't happen again, it won't happen again..."
The physician said that Lin Ruoqing's miscarriage had damaged her health, and she would likely have difficulty conceiving again.
He Zhilin hadn't expected it to be this serious. He comforted her, saying, "Then let's not have children. I don't want children, I only want you."
Lin Ruoqing's tears lessened after she said this.
**
General House
Du Siyu didn't send anyone to report Lin Ruoqing's miscarriage, but Jiang Shuwan's spy delivered the news.
Jiang Shuwan never expected that Lin Ruoqing would miscarry like this.
Du Siyu was unaware of the inside story, but Jiang Shuwan knew that Lin Ruoqing was angry and miscarried because she knew that Song Wanqing was going to become He Zhilin's concubine.
However, even without this outburst, Lin Ruoqing's pregnancy wouldn't have lasted long; Song Wanqing had added something to her pregnancy-preserving medication.
Soon, news of Lin Ruoqing's miscarriage spread throughout the capital. In fact, a woman's miscarriage usually wouldn't cause much of a stir in the capital, but since Lin Ruoqing had just miscarried, Ye Shi immediately started looking for a concubine for her son. Many people in the capital now knew that the Huian Earl's Mansion was a den of wolves and tigers. Fortunately, their daughter hadn't married into the Huian Earl's Mansion, and fortunately, all three of the Huian Earl's sons were married.
When Huianbo learned of this, he summoned Ye Shi into his room and gave her a severe scolding. He also stripped her of her power in managing the household. After careful consideration, he decided that he could only let his eldest daughter-in-law and third daughter-in-law manage the household together.
Wang, the wife of the eldest son of the Earl of Hui'an, felt as if a pie had fallen from the sky.
Du Siyu is the same.
For many days, Ye dared not go out because it was too embarrassing.
Before they knew it, it was time for Song Wenyin to get married.
Jiang Shuwan arrived at the Song residence early and offered her blessings to Song Wenyin, who was dressed in a phoenix coronet and embroidered robe.
Marriage is a completely different story for women. Jiang Shuwan never expected that she could get along so well with the Xie family, a stark contrast to her previous life.
Not long after, the Crown Prince of An came to fetch his bride.
Prince An's heir, Li Xun, was in high spirits today. He was good-looking, and the wedding robes he wore today made him even more handsome.
Li Xun is indeed handsome, and he is also a womanizer. However, unlike Xue Fei and He Zhizhang's vulgarity, he is the kind of womanizer who stands out like a green leaf among a sea of flowers.
Song Wenyin looked radiant and beautiful today. When Li Xun saw her, he praised her, which made everyone present laugh.
Without lingering inside, Li Xun and Song Wenying took their handkerchiefs and went out.
He Zhilin also came today, as part of the groom's wedding procession. Jiang Shuwan happened to make eye contact with him.
He Zhilin looked not only thinner but also much more haggard because of Lin Ruoqing's matter.
Whenever He Zhilin sees Jiang Shuwan, he can't help but think of the things in his dreams. Recently, his dreams have become increasingly vivid, and sometimes he can't even distinguish between dreams and reality.
Jiang Shuwan was unaware of his thoughts. She met his gaze briefly, then quickly looked away.
After the newlyweds left, Jiang Shuwan took a carriage to the Prince An's residence.
She took a shortcut that was faster than the bridal sedan chair, and Li Shu waved to her as soon as she saw her.
The Emperor's four children have all come today, and the Emperor is giving Prince An face, so he is very happy.
Princess An was dressed in a magnificent and elegant manner today, and accepted the blessings of others with a smile on her face.
"Third Prince."
Jiang Shuwan bowed to Li Huan, the third prince, who was standing next to Li Shu.
"No need for formalities, Cousin Shu Wan. Just call me cousin."
Li Huan is fourteen this year, and he seems much more mature than last year.
"Good cousin Huan." Jiang Shuwan didn't stand on ceremony.
When Li Ning saw Jiang Shuwan arrive, her face turned sour again.
Li Shu noticed that Li Ning glared back at her, but Li Ning couldn't afford to offend her and turned away from them.
"Sister Wan, have you heard about what happened at the Marquis of Huian's residence?" Li Shu turned to Jiang Shuwan and started sharing gossip.
Jiang Shuwan nodded. "I've heard some of it."
"Tsk tsk, life is truly unpredictable," Li Shu remarked.
"Yes."
Li Shu was genuinely worried for Jiang Shuwan. It was fortunate the engagement was called off; otherwise, Lin Ruoqing's current miserable life could very well be Jiang Shuwan's. However, given Jiang Shuwan's status, the Earl's Mansion dared not be negligent. But that Ye family...
Li Shu couldn't help but shake her head at the thought of Ye Shi.
Li Shu, remembering the important matter, said, "Sister Wan, my father is going to choose a princess for my eldest brother. You should come then."
"Is His Majesty going to choose a consort for the eldest prince?"
The eldest prince is twenty-two years old this year. The emperor is not a man who values women. He feels that the princes do not need to get married so early, so the eldest prince is not yet married.
This is a fictional story and should not be taken too seriously. In Daqing, it is not considered late for a boy to marry at 21 or 22, but it is considered late after 25. Some boys get married at 19 or 20, but most get married after 20.
For women, marrying at nineteen or twenty is not considered late; marrying after twenty-three is considered late.
