Consort Zhuang doesn't want palace intrigue; she just wants to raise her child and live a caref

She put down her chopsticks, her face hardening. "Whose fault is this? It's all your own! Who told you to misjudge people!"

Cang Lan Jingcheng lowered his head and muttered, "I never expected her to be this kind of person..."

"What did you say?" Su Nuannuan, with her sharp ears, immediately pressed for an answer. "Speak louder, Mother didn't hear you clearly."

Cang Lan Jingcheng inwardly groaned, but dared not argue back. He could only raise his voice and say, "I didn't say anything. Mother is right to reprimand me."

Su Nuannuan picked up a piece of duck meat, slowly put it in her mouth and chewed, while scrutinizing her son, "When did you fall in love with someone like this? Why didn't you tell your mother? If we hadn't happened to run into each other at Qixiang Restaurant, how long were you planning to keep it a secret from your mother?"

Cang Lan Jingcheng was speechless when asked the question. He hesitated for a moment before stammering, "I... I was just thinking of telling Mother Consort in a couple of days!"

Upon hearing this, Su Nuannuan's expression turned even more unpleasant. "Your mother's health is deteriorating day by day, yet she still worries about your marriage. She's afraid that one day she won't be able to hold on any longer and will delay your wedding."

"How could Mother's health deteriorate so quickly? She was perfectly fine when I visited her last time," Canglan Jingcheng asked in surprise.

"When people reach a certain age, all sorts of old ailments come back, and the body deteriorates quickly," Su Nuannuan sighed, slowly putting the duck meat into her mouth.

The aroma of duck meat spread across her tongue as she chewed it slowly, savoring its deliciousness. After swallowing the duck meat, she looked at Canglan Jingcheng and continued to ask, "What are your thoughts on marrying the princess? Do you want to wait three years, or do you want to complete it as soon as possible?"

Cang Lan Jingcheng remained silent for a moment, seemingly pondering the question. Just as he was about to speak, Su Nuannuan suddenly interjected, "Your mother wants to see you marry a princess and start a family."

Upon hearing this, Canglan Jingcheng frowned slightly, sighed, and said, "Mother, please make the arrangements!"

Su Nuannuan was not satisfied with his answer and pressed further, "What kind of princess do you want to find?"

However, Canglan Jingcheng simply replied, "Mother, you can decide for yourself!"

Su Nuannuan was unwilling to give up and asked again, "Jingcheng, don't you have any standards for marrying a princess?"

Cang Lan Jingcheng maintained his indifferent attitude and replied, "Mother, you can decide for yourself!"

Su Nuannuan finally lost her temper. She slammed her chopsticks on the table with a loud "bang" and shouted angrily, "Cang Lan Jingcheng!"

"If you don't want to marry the princess, then get back to the border town right now! Who are you trying to impress with this half-dead look?" Su Nuannuan trembled with anger. She stood up abruptly, pointed at the door, and shouted angrily.

"If you still can't let go of that merchant girl, then just marry her! Then get out of here and go to the border town, and never set foot in the capital again! I'll pretend I don't have such a disobedient and unfilial son!" Su Nuannuan's voice echoed in the room, making everyone's eardrums hurt.

Seeing this, Jinse quickly stepped forward, took Su Nuannuan's arm, and gently comforted her, "Your Majesty, please don't get upset. Calm down, calm down."

As Jinse spoke, she helped Su Nuannuan back to her seat, then turned to Canglan Jingcheng with a displeased expression and said, "Your Highness, you are someone I watched grow up. If I may say something I shouldn't, it is really wrong of you to treat your mother like this."

Cang Lan Jingcheng knelt on the ground, head down, not daring to look Su Nuannuan and Jinse in the eye. His lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he did not speak.

Seeing Cang Lan Jingcheng's attitude, Su Nuannuan's anger grew even stronger. She suddenly stood up and said to Jinse, "Jinse, let's go! He can marry whoever he wants, I don't want to get involved in his affairs anymore! After returning to the palace, I will go to the Emperor and ask him to send me to Huiyang City to find Jianping!"

After saying that, Su Nuannuan walked towards the door without looking back.

Seeing that his mother was truly angry and was about to go find his sister, Cang Lan Jingcheng panicked. He quickly scrambled to his feet and rushed after her, kneeling down in front of Su Nuannuan with a thud. He hugged her legs and cried out, "Mother, I know I was wrong! I will never dare to do it again! Please, Mother, don't go find my sister; she will beat me to death."

There's a reason why Canglan Jingcheng is afraid of Canglan Jingyao.

In the second year after Canglan Jingyao went to Huiyang City, she completed the formation of the women's medical team. She not only taught them medical and nursing knowledge, but also martial arts and archery, determined to create a women's medical team that was good at both offense and defense.

During the formation of the team, Canglan Jingyao would often go to the military camp to challenge Canglan Jingcheng. As for the child, she entrusted him to Qu Jing. Qu Jing took care of the child both when he went to and from the military office, and he became a stay-at-home dad. Even though his colleagues laughed at him, Qu Jing didn't care.

Over time, everyone got used to it.

At first, Canglan Jingcheng was able to suppress Canglan Jingyao, but gradually the situation turned in one direction, and he was the one being beaten by his sister every time.

When he returned to the capital, his sister warned him not to anger their mother, or she would beat him to death.

"You did nothing wrong, what did you do wrong?" Su Nuannuan stopped and turned around abruptly, saying to Cang Lan Jingcheng who was kneeling on the ground, "So what if you like a woman who is pregnant with another man's child? If you like being a ready-made father, then go ahead and be one, I won't stop you!"

Her voice was cold and resolute, as if the whole world had frozen in that moment. After speaking, Su Nuannuan walked towards the door without looking back.

"Mother, Mother, your son really doesn't like her anymore!" Upon seeing this, Canglan Jingcheng hurriedly chased after her, saying with snot and tears streaming down his face, "Your son knows he was wrong, please don't be angry, Mother!"

However, Su Nuannuan did not stop walking because of his pleas; she continued to walk quickly toward the door.

"Jinse, what are you still standing there for?" As she reached the door, Su Nuannuan suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Jinse, who was standing there in a daze, and asked angrily.

Jinse was startled by Su Nuannuan's shout. She quickly came to her senses and hurried after her.

Seeing this, Su Nuannuan reached out and opened the door, then stepped out.
