Chapter 69: To stay or not to stay
Xu Tiantian's first reaction when she heard that Zhen Yun might be pregnant was jealousy, she intended to get pregnant, she originally wanted to give it a go, who knew that Shizi didn't want her to give birth to a child at all, if it wasn't for Mrs. Shizi's misbehavior later, Shizi wanted to give Mrs. Shizi a wake-up call, Xu Tiantian was probably not here now.
Although giving birth to a girl also made the prince snub her, Xu Tiantian was still very happy, after all, with this child, there was a guarantee, and the eldest lady was the first child of the world, and she was the only child in a short period of time, so Xu Tiantian's waist was very straight, but now that she heard that Zhen Yun might have it, Xu Tiantian was really jealous.
Zhen Yun is a young lady of the official family or a good concubine, whether she gives birth to a boy or a girl, she is more noble than the eldest lady, so Xu Tiantian's first reaction was to provoke Zhen Yun to beat the child, but another idea came to her before she could open her mouth.
If the prince has to serve in this county for a few years, then of course Zhen Yun's child cannot be born, and the eldest lady is the only child of the prince, so that even if the prince has other children in the future, the eldest lady and the prince can cultivate a deep father-daughter relationship over the years. That's when she and her daughter really got on their feet.
But the reality is not as expected, the prince has decided to return to Beijing, and they have to rush back immediately, so if there is only one child in the house, I am afraid that the two of them will become a thorn in the side of Mrs. Shizi.
But if Zhen Yun also brings back a child, it is not necessarily, of course it is best to be a girl, compared to herself, Mrs. Shizi will definitely look at Zhen Yun's mother and daughter unpleasantly.
If it is a son, it is the eldest son of the prince, I am afraid that all the energy of Mrs. Shizi is on Zhen Yun, then she and the eldest lady will be able to make a profit.
Xu Tiantian's thoughts turned quickly, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was good for Zhen Yun to stay as a child, Xu Tiantian looked at Zhen Yun's expression and organized her language.
"Sister Zhen, what do you think?"
"Me? I don't know, Sister Xu, I really don't know, I really don't have the intention to get pregnant, you also know the attitude of the son, I'm afraid. ”
Does Zhen Yun want to keep the child? Of course she wanted to, but she was very afraid, afraid that the prince would not let her, afraid that someone would harm her, so Zhen Yun was undecided.
"Actually, if you want me to say that Sister Zhen should of course keep this child, not to mention anything else, isn't the responsibility of our concubine family to spread the branches and leaves for the husband, Mrs. Shizi has not given birth to a son and a half daughter since she got married, and the prince is about to reach the crown, and the grandfather and Mrs. should also be in a hurry to hold their grandson."
Xu Tiantian observed Zhen Yun's face, of course she knew that her words were very watery, after all, the prince had been out for most of the past few years, but Zhen Yun didn't seem to care about this, and it seemed that he was very likely to be moved.
"Besides, don't look at the prince's mouth, but I didn't say anything when I was pregnant and gave birth to the eldest lady, and you also saw that the prince likes the eldest lady very much."
Xu Tiantian didn't say it, in fact, she knew very early that she was pregnant with a girl, and the prince warned her at the beginning, thinking about the original scene, Xu Tiantian's hairs still stand on end when she thinks about it now.
"Master." Xu Tiantian looked at Han Zhan with a shy look on her face, she was already three months pregnant, and she had been carefully concealing it, but it was a pity that no matter how cautious she was, she was still discovered, so Xu Tiantian was thinking of how to get the prince to agree to her to keep the child.
"Master, the slave is pregnant." Xu Tiantian watched Han Zhan sit on the chair and didn't speak, but she still spoke first.
"Master, the slave and maid really don't know why they are pregnant, and the slave and maid have always drunk the soup of avoiding children, really." Xu Tiantian didn't know how much Han Zhan knew, so she spoke very carefully.
"The doctor said that the child has been three months old, and you said that you have been drinking the soup to avoid children, so you have not suspected that you are pregnant for so long?" Han Zhan's tone was flat, and Xu Tiantian didn't listen to his attitude from his words.
"Master, slaves and maids are young, and it is common for them to have inaccurate lives, so I haven't found out that it's because slaves and maids are not good." Of course, Xu Tiantian didn't just find out, but she couldn't admit it at all.
"Oh? You don't know anything anymore? ”
"Yes." Although Xu Tiantian was a little scared, at this time, she could only go to the end, after all, it was a big mistake to spit out the avoidance soup and get pregnant.
"Heh, Xu, I've never found you so powerful." A sneer appeared on Han Zhan's face.
"Master." Xu Tiantian knelt on the ground in fright.
"You drank the avoidance soup, but you vomited it in the place where you carried it, and as for you being pregnant, if you don't know, you will have people prepare the used menstrual belt? Xu, do you really think you do it seamlessly? ”
Han Zhan doesn't have much affection for Xu Tiantian and Zhen Yun, or that he has no one in his backyard except Su Ximei who can make him pay attention, as for Su Ximei, after all, she is his wife, and she is a wife who lives and dies in the same cave, of course, she must be respected.
As for the concubines, as long as they keep to themselves, Han Zhan will let them have no worries about food and clothing, but his tolerance does not mean that these concubines can deceive him and do tricks.
"Master, no, slave." Xu Tiantian wanted to explain, but gradually lost her voice under Han Zhan's gaze.
"You are the son of the family, and it was given by your mother, so I have sent a letter to the family, you are so self-sufficient." Han Zhan said and turned to leave.
"Master." Xu Tiantian wanted to hug Han Zhan's thigh, but unfortunately the other party didn't give her a chance, Xu Tiantian knew that this child couldn't be saved, and she couldn't stop her tears for a while.
Who knew that when Xu Tiantian was trembling and didn't know when she would usher in a bowl of Luozi soup, things took a turn for the better, and the prince looked ugly after receiving the letter from home.
No one knew what was written in the family letter, Xu Tiantian watched Han Zhan come in with a cold face, and subconsciously took a step back with his already somewhat pregnant belly.
"Shizi, slave maid, beg the master to bypass the slave and maid, and beg the master to keep this child." Xu Tiantian knelt at Han Zhan's feet and kept begging for mercy.
"Ask for a son, the slave and maid are the sons of the house, everything they do is for the sake of the prince, it is the slave and the maid who feel sorry for the master who has been married for many years and has no children, the slave and the maid are from a humble background, even if they give birth to the eldest son, they will not be a threat to the son-in-law, and the son of the world will bypass the slave and maid for the sake of the loyalty of the slave and the maid for generations."
Xu Tiantian now knows that her child will definitely not be saved, but her life is not certain, so Xu Tiantian is crying very hard now, she is really afraid.
"So I'm going to be grateful to you?" Han Zhan looked at Xu Tiantian coldly, and Xu Tiantian subconsciously shrunk her neck.
"Slave, slave doesn't mean that." Xu Tiantian tried hard to organize the language, but she couldn't say it at all under the gaze of Han Zhan.
"Ask the prince to spare the slave and maid, the slave and the maid are wrong, and the slave and the maid don't want to die." Xu Tiantian hugged Han Zhan's feet, but Han Zhan didn't kick her away because she was still pregnant with a child.
"I can allow you to give birth to this child, but you can't be greedy again in the future, otherwise your whole family will be sold together."
Xu Tiantian blinked her eyes, as if she hadn't heard Han Zhan's words, and then there was ecstasy, did the prince allow her to give birth to a child? It turns out that she still has a certain status in the heart of the prince.
Xu Tiantian subconsciously ignored Han Zhan's later words, when the child was born, he would be the eldest son of the prince, even if the prince said it ruthlessly now, he would definitely like the little master in the future.
"I've asked the doctor, it's a girl in your belly, this is the only child in your life, you can do it yourself." Han Zhan said and turned to leave.
Xu Tiantian's heart is like going from heaven to hell all at once, girl? How can it be a girl? She obviously looks like a good man, if it weren't for this, Xu Tiantian wouldn't have made such a big determination to take risks.
It's just that Xu Tiantian also knows that now everything she has is pinned on this child, if something happens to the child, not only her, but her whole family will be punished.
Sure enough, the future days were as Xu Tiantian thought, and the prince sent a special grandmother to take care of her until she gave birth to the eldest lady, and then no matter how Xu Tiantian borrowed the child to invite pets, Han Zhan ignored her, and even if it wasn't for the child being too young, Han Zhan didn't want Xu Tiantian to take care of the child at all, Xu Tiantian was frightened, and gradually didn't dare to make any more small moves.
"Sister Xu." Zhen Yun looked at Xu Tiantian and seemed to be distracted and screamed.
"Ah it's okay, Sister Zhen, you believe me, you will keep the child, this is your chance, now you are in charge of the house, and the prince is not here, we will go back when the child is born, the old lady will definitely like it when she sees the little son."
"But the son." Xu Tiantian was still a little worried.
"Sister Zhen is different from me, Sister Zhen is a young lady from an official family, although the little boy is a concubine, his identity is different, and the prince will definitely like it when he sees the child.
And Sister Zhen, what do we women rely on in the back house, it is a son, and after returning home, Mrs. Shizi will definitely arrange a concubine room for Shizi again, after all, we have served Shizi alone for so long, and Mrs. Shizi will definitely be afraid of us.
Sister Zhen, if you don't seize this opportunity this time, after returning home, say something unpleasant, I'm afraid you won't have another chance to get pregnant. ”
Zhen Yun's face turned white, Mrs. Shizi was generous on the surface, but how jealous she was, how could she not know, but why did Xu Tiantian encourage herself so much?
Zhen Yun thought about it like this, and looked at Xu Tiantian's face with suspicion, and Xu Tiantian also found Zhen Yun's suspicion and said with a smile.
"I know that Sister Zhen has doubts, and I am not without selfishness, if Sister Zhen gives birth to a son, then I hope he can take care of the eldest lady more when he grows up, if Sister Zhen gives birth to a daughter, then the eldest lady also has a companion."
"Don't worry, the eldest lady will be wrapped up in our eldest young master, and he will take good care of my sister." Zhen Yun touched his stomach and promised.
Xu Tiantian sneered in her heart, but she still had a grateful look on her face, Zhen Yun had already imagined how majestic she was after her son was born.
