Chapter 206: Let It Be
Before he stepped into the front hall, a voice came out from inside: "Such a big yard, deserted, not even a baby, alas, what kind of sin has been created......"
When they stepped into the door, the sound inside stopped abruptly, and when they saw Mrs. Cao, there was obvious impatience on their faces, and the disgust in their eyes was unreserved.
After seeing Luo Li, he was slightly surprised, after all, he was also an experienced old general, and he was not confused: "This is the Ninth Princess, right?" ”
Luo Li nodded: "I've seen the old general, the old lady." ”
Mrs. Cao walked up to them and called her father and mother very respectfully.
They seemed to turn a blind eye, and the old general Cao looked at Luo Li, with a smile on his face: "Ninth Princess, can you help the old man talk about my unfilial son in front of the Nine Princes?" ”
Luo Li was stunned, didn't this old general still want Chu Yi to take care of his family's housework?
"Old general, please speak."
I can't see that the old man is complaining, he is chattering: "Cao Hui is the only son of the old man, he is thirty years old this year, and he has never had a son and a half daughter in six years of marriage, he has followed the Nine Princes for many years, and the words of the Nine Princes must be more effective than what we said." ”
The old lady added fuel to the fire next to her: "Yes, the ninth princess, the Cao family has been passed down for several generations, and it can't be extinct in this generation, we persuaded him to take a concubine, but he was blinded by this hen that didn't lay eggs......"
Mrs. Cao's face sank instantly, her body trembled slightly, perhaps she was used to hearing this, she didn't say a word beside her, and her eyes were stained with a layer of mist.
The two elders spoke quickly and burst into tears, but Luo Li felt harsh when she listened, she condensed her eyebrows, and her voice was as flat as water: "There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest, and the mood of the two elders can be understood......"
"That's right, it's still the ninth princess who is sensible, and my daughter-in-law has to study hard."
The old lady was not ambiguous at all, and she also damaged her daughter-in-law by the way.
Luo Li stroked her forehead, and her expression was light: "Why do you think that it must be Mrs. Cao who can't have children?" Didn't you think it might be that your own son couldn't have children? ”
As soon as the words fell, several people froze.
General Cao immediately retorted: "How is it possible? What's the matter with my son? Isn't it all a woman's business to have a baby? Isn't it all a woman's problem if you can't give birth? ”
Luo Li chuckled: "The old general is really cute, if it's not a man's business, then what do you do when you get married?" Can a woman give birth? ”
"This ...... This...... You ......"
General Cao was so frightened that he couldn't speak, and only after a while did he say a sentence completely: "This is unfounded, don't talk nonsense, princess." ”
Luo Li sat down in front of the table, with one hand on her chin, and her expression was careless: "I have been with the Ninth Prince for several months, and now I am not pregnant, do you say it is his problem or mine?" ”
The old general Cao looked shocked, looked at the old lady face to face, and secretly wondered in his heart, how could the ninth princess take out this matter too?
The old lady is a woman in the end, and she is a little more delicate: "You have only been married for more than a month, what is the princess anxious about?" ”
"Who says you can only be together after you get married?"
This time, not only the two elders, but Mrs. Cao all looked at her in surprise.
Luo Li leaned back lazily in her chair and continued: "Of course I'm not in a hurry, but the Queen Mother is in a hurry, but I told her that the old man was her son who had a hidden illness, and she stopped urging me from then on. How noble is the Empress Dowager, she believes that not being able to give birth to a child is not necessarily a woman's problem, could it be that you even have to deny her old man's opinion? ”
General Cao was shocked, and said with sincere fear: "How dare the old minister doubt the high opinion of the Empress Dowager? ”。
Luo Li hummed lightly: "There are times in life that you have to have, and there are times in life when you don't force it, old general, just let it be." ”
