Chapter 63

Although Zheng Jiaqu heard Chen Rong and the maid's words and obtained confirmation from Chen Hao, he did not immediately go to confront Chen Zi. He thought of Chen Zi's tenderness towards him after getting married, and he was a little wandering. Despite this, he moved into the study.

If it were usual, Chen Zi would have discovered Zheng Jiaqu’s abnormality long ago, but after seeing her mother’s appearance, she was unwilling to admit that it was because of her, so she put all her hatred on Chen Jin. Why can Chen Jin be so happy? These should be hers. Even Chen Jin laughed and stroked her stomach every time, Shen Zi looked at him as she was laughing at herself.

Chen Zi thought of his child and finally gritted her teeth and said, "Chunxue, go outside and find someone..."

Chunxue was the dowry maid given to Chen Zi by Concubine Xu. She was in the hands of Shen Zi. When she heard this, her expression changed and said, "Mrs. Young Madam, this is inappropriate..."

Chen Zi looked at Chunxue. Seeing Chen Zi's expression, Chunxue was frightened and sweated in cold sweat on her back. If something happened to Chen Zi, she would be bad, so she said, "Young lady, Uncle Yongning..."

"Bang." A slap was slapped on Chunxue's face.

Chen Zi said sternly, "She is worthy?"

Chunxue quickly knelt on the ground and said, "It's me who said the wrong thing."

Chen Zi then said, "Say."

"Yes." Chunxue didn't dare to get up, so she knelt on the ground and said carefully, "The third princess has been three months old now, so I'm afraid she's safe..."

Chen Zi put his hand on his stomach, "Yes, you're right, that's too simple."

Chunxue lowered her head and didn't dare to say anything again. Chen Zi narrowed her eyes and said, "But it's okay, there are two more times if you can't do it once... go find it."

"Yes." Chunxue didn't persuade her and responded respectfully.

Those who can go to Zheng Jiaqu’s study to serve him are not bad in appearance or literary talent. At this time, seeing Zheng Jiaqu painting, he rolled up his sleeves and exposed a smooth forearm. He grinded his paintings and writing in a graceful manner. He needed to calm down when he was quiet at this time, so he naturally couldn’t draw any satisfactory work. He threw his pen on the table and tore the painting he had just drawn into a pastel.

"Young Master." The maid wearing a water-blue dress said softly, "Do you want to have a rest?"

"Manrong, you said..." Zheng Jiaqu sat on the chair, feeling tired.

Manrong cleaned up the desk a little, then walked to Zheng Jiaqu's hand, gently rubbed Zheng Jiaqu's forehead with white fingers, and said softly, "What's the difficult thing for the young master?"

Zheng Jiaqu sighed, leaned against the chair, leaned back, smelling the smell of Manrong, there was only a very light ink fragrance, and it was not as strong as Chen Zi's body. After taking a deep breath, he felt a little more relaxed in body and mind, and then said, "How can you let someone tell the truth?"

Manrong is not as beautiful as Chen Zi, and there are not many better-looking people in the entire capital than Chen Zi. If it weren't for this, Zheng Jiaqu would not be so unsteady. However, Manrong has a gentle temperament, and can chat with Zheng Jiaqu for a few words in poetry, songs, music, music, calligraphy and painting. Moreover, before Shen Zi got married, Manrong had something to do with Zheng Jiaqu.

When Zheng Jiaqu and Shen Zi got married, they were naturally in love. Manrong didn't bother or make trouble, and even didn't get to Zheng Jiaqu for too long. So they never stayed. The remaining maid was sent by Chen Zi early on.

After the deep affection faded a lot, Zheng Jiaqu found that he and Shen Zi had no common language at all. They wanted to have a boudoir interest, but Chen Zi didn't understand it at all. It was not that Chen Zi was ignorant of the big words, but that Zheng Jiaqu was pursuing the opposite of his poems with him, and Man Rong's goodness became more and more revealed.

Zheng Jiaqu also sighed in his heart that if Chen Zi and Man Rong could combine it, they would be the most perfect wife in his heart.

"I don't know either." Manrong's voice sounded very nice and his pronunciation was very clear, but he was much lighter at the last word.

Zheng Jiaqu said, "Didn't you say that you don't need to call yourself a slave?"

"The courtesy cannot be abandoned." Manrong said with a smile, "It's not good if the young lady knows."

Zheng Jiaqu's expression darkened, Manrong's smile became gentler, but he stopped mentioning this matter, but said, "I was thinking, didn't you say that you were talking about the truth after drinking? If you were drunk, you might have told the truth."

"It's right." Zheng Jiaqu sat upright and said, "Go and prepare a jar of wine for me."

Manrong responded softly. Just as he was about to say something, he saw the door of the study suddenly pushed open from outside. Chen Zi saw the situation in the study and felt angry. He rushed over and grabbed Manrong's hair, slapped Manrong's face several times.

This incident scared Zheng Jiaqu and said angrily, "What are you doing, Chen Zi!"

"Bitch." Zheng Jiaqu didn't speak, but Chen Zi was even more angry when he opened his mouth.

Manrong said nothing, and knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Chen Zi, even bleeding from his forehead. Chen Zi was still resolute. This made Zheng Jiaqu grab the inkstone and smash it to Chen Zi. He had not lost his mind yet and attacked Chen Zi directly.

But this scared Chen Zi so much that she screamed, and rushed towards Zheng Jiaqu. When Man Rong started to get up and stopped him, who knew that the ring on Chen Zi's hand scratched Man Rong directly. This time, Zheng Jiaqu could no longer help but curse, "Poisonous woman."

Zheng Jiaqu and Shen Zi started fighting. Manrong quickly called someone to call Mrs. Zheng. Mrs. Zheng was so angry that she didn't scold Zheng Jiaqu again after she separated this time. Instead, she looked at Chen Zi and said in a deep voice, "The princess has a noble status, and it is my Zheng family who is high-ranking. If the princess has any dissatisfaction, she will ask Your Majesty to make a decision. Don't bully my son."

Chen Zi didn't expect that Mrs. Zheng was not standing on her side this time, and said angrily, "Your son and this maid are so insulted. Qingtian and Bairi are doing that kind of thing in the study. Why did I insult them?"

Women all hate her husband for being flirted with her, but when it was changed to her son, she wanted more people in her son's room to spread, so Mrs. Zheng didn't think there was anything wrong with her son and Manrong. Zheng Jiaqu said angrily, "I'm talking nonsense." He took a few deep breaths as if he calmed his anger, "Mother, my son is practicing calligraphy in the study, Manrong grinding for his son. Who knew that she suddenly broke in and hit Manrong indiscriminately. Manrong knelt down and apologized without any defense. Who knew that she was still dissatisfied and rushed up to catch and beat her son. Manrong then came to help her son block it."

Mrs. Zheng looked at the traces on Manrong's face and felt frightened. If this fell on her son... Although she thought so, she did not show any sign of it. She just said, "I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding. It's appropriate for Manrong to stay here, so she followed me to the main courtyard to serve him. Princess..." She seemed to have no idea how to tell Chen Zi, "The couple has no overnight revenge. Even if I don't want to interfere too much, but if the princess has something to tell me, I will definitely punish her well. It's better not to do it yourself."

After listening to Mrs. Zheng's words, Chen Zi felt relieved and nodded, "What mother-in-law said."

Mrs. Zheng said, "The princess has a good rest, and the princess will have to work hard in the affairs of the mansion."

Chen Zi nodded, and Mrs. Zheng looked at Zheng Jiaqu and said, "No matter what, you are still wrong today. Please go to the main courtyard."

Zheng Jiaqu looked embarrassed, but because Mrs. Zheng had accumulated power for a long time, she didn't speak. Besides, he had something in his heart to tell his mother that Chen Zi thought Mrs. Zheng was going to teach Zheng Jiaqu a lesson, so he was so happy. However, because Zheng Jiaqu didn't really attack her just now, she took advantage of her and was so easy to talk. "I'm afraid that my husband was confused for a while, it was all the fault of that bitch."

Mrs. Zheng smiled and said nothing, but took Zheng Jiaqu and Manrong away.

Chen Zi then took the maid back to the room with pride in his heart. Chunxue whispered, "Isn't the young lady going to find the eldest young master? "

"Forget it." Chen Zi thought about how to deal with Chen Jin, and then she felt a little more comfortable. She remembered her husband's stay in the study. Originally, she had something to do in her mind and would be good for her husband to leave, but now she is separated again and Chen Zi feels that her self-esteem is hurt. She dressed up and wanted to show her softness. Who would have thought that the maid was outside. When she opened the door, she saw that it was indeed that bitch Manrong.

Chunxue stopped talking.

In the Rui Prince's Mansion, Chen Qi has now been three months old, which is much easier than before. At this time, he was walking in the yard with Shen Jin. Chen Jin's belly was already showing his arms, and he unconsciously held his waist. Chen Qi smiled and said, "The news of his brother-in-law winning the battle has been heard. Are you calming down?"

"Yeah." Chen Jin said with a rosy face and smiled, "I just hope my husband can come back soon."

The news that Chu Xiuming won the battle was sent by the prefect of Fujian. Although Chen Jin was happy, he was not as Chen Qi thought. After all, before Chu Xiuming left, he told her that unless someone came back with a token or a letter written by him, there was no need to listen to the remaining news.

Chen Qi was actually relieved when he heard the news. He hesitated for a while before saying, "Actually, I have been thinking about something since I was pregnant. I will definitely be fine if I am willing. If I don't, it's okay."

"Huh?" Chen Jin looked at Chen Qi in confusion and asked, "Is there anything wrong with sister?"

Chen Qi smiled and said, "The children in your stomach are only one month apart. I thought that if the children in your stomach are one boy and one girl, they would make them marry a baby. If they are both girls or boys, they would postpone it to the second child?"

Chen Jin was stunned for a moment and asked foolishly, "What if the second child is still the same gender?"

"Then let's have the third child." Chen Qi said with a smile, "As long as you are the right age and the offspring you and me will be."

Chen Qi proposed this time, but in fact he had considered it for a long time. If he followed the wishes of Prince Yongle Hou, he would naturally be willing to marry his own children with the Yongning Bo family, but he would have to wait for Yongning Bo to come back before talking about it. However, Chen Qi felt that if he mentioned it at that time, it would inevitably be underestimated. Their power was not as powerful as Yongning Bo. Now that Yongning Bo is away, Chen Jin is in danger, and what they proposed is also benevolence and righteousness.

And this is just a private agreement. If there is really something wrong with it... Chen Qi lowered his eyes slightly and touched his stomach. Although she valued her children more, she would not let her sister's children suffer any losses.

Chen Jin thought for a while and said, "Sister, let's talk about this later."

"Does my sister feel embarrassed?" Chen Qi asked.

Chen Jin nodded, bit his lower lip and said, "Sister can suggest that it is naturally because she values ​​her sister, but she cannot let the children suffer any losses. With your friendship, if the children grow up, they will naturally not stop them. If they don't want to, it won't be fine."

Chen Qi frowned and looked at Chen Jin. Chen Jin touched his stomach and said, "I have no choice in my life whether I am born or married. My child... Although I can't choose whether I want to be born or not, I want him to choose the person he wants to marry or marry in the future. After all, no one can guarantee that the child can have the blessing of you and me." When he said that, Chen Jin's eyes were soft and the smile on his face was light, as if he had lost his childishness in an instant, and he was no longer the little woman who acted coquettishly with Yongning Bo.

Did you choose? Chen Qi didn't say anything for a while. If she had room for choice, would she be willing to marry Zhu Yuhong? Chen Qi actually didn't know that she was sometimes jealous of Chen Jin. Although the border town was bitter and cold, there were only each other in their homes and no one else.

A man like Yongning Bo, even if there are many concubines, it will not be amazing. Not for Yongning Bo's power, even Yongning Bo has countless women who are willing to follow him. However, such a man pampered his wife wholeheartedly and did not look at others more, no wonder Chen Zimo was so crazy about such affection.

Thinking of Chen Zi, Chen Qi felt ironic in his heart, and he was afraid that Chen Zi's devilishness would come from regret.

"You're right." Chen Qi was not angry about Chen Jin's refusal, but smiled. "If the children are in love in the future, let them be together. If not, there is no need to force them."

Chen Jin nodded with a smile, "I think it's like my sister has so many sisters, but she loves me the most. This is also fate. The things between children also need fate."

Chen Qi nodded, "You are just sweet-mouthed."

Just as Chen Jin was about to speak, he saw Cui Xi beside Princess Rui coming. Cui Xi said in congratulations, "The princess is invited to the three princesses."

"Is there anything wrong with my mother looking for me?" Chen Jin looked at Cui Xi with some confusion.

Cuixi said, "Someone outside looked for the princess, saying that it was the one who sent it back by Yongning Bo Rang."

When she talked about this person, Cui Xi's tone became a little subtle. Chen Qi suddenly understood. She frowned and didn't know what to say. She just thought Chen Jin was blessed, could it be...

Chen Jin didn't think much, nodded and said, "Okay." After that, he looked at Chen Qi.

Chen Qi said, "I'll go with you and just talk to my mother."

"Yeah." Chen Jin responded and walked out with Shen Qi.

Chen Qi asked, "Who is it?"

Cuixi just reminded, "It's a woman."

Chen Qi looked at Chen Jin with some concern. Her sister is still pregnant, so it’s better not to make people excited.

However, Chen Jin's face became even more confusing when he heard this. He looked at An Ning and An Ping. The two of them looked confused, obviously they didn't know it. Chen Jin said, "It's so strange."

Chen Qi wanted to remind him a few words but didn't know how to say it, but just advised, "Remember, you are pregnant."

"My stomach is getting bigger, how could I forget it?" Chen Jin asked in confusion.

Seeing Chen Jin's appearance, Chen Qi couldn't tell whether the person he just said that he would choose was Chen Jin or the person who was confused now was the real Chen Jin.

After arriving at the main courtyard, he saw that not only Princess Rui was there, but also Princess Rui was there. The two saluted and sat down separately. Princess Rui said, "I was talking to your father, and a maid came to report that someone had brought Yongning Bo's token and letters."

Chen Jin's face was filled with joy and said with a smile, "When will you come back? Have you written a letter to me?"

King Rui looked at his daughter, although he didn't think it was a big deal, but he felt a little distressed and said, "Why just send me a pass and come back and tell my son-in-law that it was my idea?"

"Ah?" Chen Jin was surprised.

However, Princess Rui said, "It's okay, give the letter and the token to Jinya."

Cui Xi then handed Anping two things to Anping with both hands, and Anping handed them to Chen Jin's hand. Chen Qi then confirmed the guess. Sure enough, all men are the same.

The token I mentioned was a jade pendant, which was a common style for men. The jade quality was quite good. The character Chu was engraved on the corner. Chen Jin took it and put it on An Ning's hand for a while. Then he opened the letter and saw that the last signature was Yongning Bo Chu Xiuming.

Princess Rui said in a gentle voice, "A woman took these two things to her door, saying that it was arranged by the officials of the post station on the road, and was taken over by Yongning Bo, so she gave her these two things, saying that she was asked to come to the capital to find Mrs. Yongning Bo, and she would have someone to arrange it, and she said that she already had Yongning Bo's flesh and blood in her belly."

Chen Jin nodded, casually took Xin Fang aside and said, "Where is that person?"
