Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 458

Su stopped asking questions. She was used to being silent like this and not asking about other people's affairs.

Most of the time, she couldn't understand or see clearly what others meant, and silence was her protective color.

The Ninth Prince asked about the daily affairs of Su's youngest daughter and Qin Su's son, and what Su was busy with at home every day?
Speaking of these things, Su gradually opened up, and a maternal light flashed on her face, making the Ninth Prince unable to take his eyes away.

He couldn't help but wonder: Was Die Ji like this at the beginning, with a gentle smile, firmly protecting the little life in her belly?

This was the first time that the Ninth Prince felt guilty and ashamed, and it was also the first time that he felt relieved about Die Ji's departure and betrayal.

Back then, if I were a man that Die Ji could rely on, how could she have fled without hesitation even though she knew that escaping was a dead end?

When he lost Die Ji, he was very sad. He felt that he had been betrayed and had lost something important. As events such as his marriage and the seizure of power followed one after another, he had actually long forgotten about Die Ji, this "ungrateful" woman.

Later, after his failure in seizing power, he became disheartened and lived a decadent life in the palace. However, the beauty of the time when he and Die Ji were together began to become clearer and clearer, and it became a regret that he could not let go.

He felt that he was not a caring person, and this was the case with everyone. Even for his wife and sons who died young, he did not miss them or feel much pain.

At this moment, listening to Su, who had a calm face and innocent eyes, talking about trivial matters, he actually felt that such a life must be very beautiful.

Those long-lost fragmented memories came out from somewhere and flooded into his mind.

Is this his life? It was a long life, but now thinking about it, it seems so short.

When he was very old, God suddenly sent him a daughter. She had a hard life in the first half of her life, but she was still kind and beautiful.

Yes, for the sake of Su's, it was worth it for him to use up his last bit of strength to wipe out all the demons and monsters. He wanted her to be rich and safe for the rest of her life after his death. Therefore, he took the initiative to find the puppet-like emperor to cooperate with him. He wanted to send Xiao Chenyu to a high enough position.

After Su left, the Ninth Prince coughed and spit out blood, but he did not allow his personal eunuch, who had followed him all his life, to call a doctor, or even tell anyone.

After taking the pills and calming down for a while, the Ninth Prince was supported to go to the study, picked up a pen and wrote a letter to Yao Xiang. Then, he thought about it and picked up the pen again.
After returning home, Su was upset and felt that something seemed to be wrong, so she wanted to talk to Qin Su, but Qin Su was not at home. She said that Jiang Yue asked her to go and talk.

After Yaoxiang left, many people were waiting to see what would happen to Qin Su. After all, everyone knew that Qin Su was dating Princess Yaoxiang.

But to everyone's disappointment, Qin Sui became very close to the new princess.

Su was used to Princess Jiang asking her to talk, so she just said she would wait for Qin Sui to come home and let her come to see her. Of course, if it was too late, then forget it.

After Qin Su returned home, she first met her mother. After listening to Su's words and the details of the meeting, and seeing her mother looking at her worriedly, Qin Su smiled and said, "Mom, if you are worried, I will go to see the prince tomorrow!"

"Forget it. I am just worrying too much. He has so many people serving him. What could possibly happen? There are many things going on at home. There are two consecutive weddings. Although Si Niang is the one who is busy, you can't just ignore it!"

The family was originally helping Xiao Lian and Qing Gu prepare for their wedding, but later Sun Jifei came and said he also wanted to marry Yao Zhuer. Qin Sui asked someone to look at the almanac and decided that their weddings would be held just a few days apart.

Nowadays, the number of families coming and going is large and complex, and their status is not low either, so Qin Su gradually shifted her attention from the shop to her home. Whenever Li Siniang is undecided, Qin Su has to make the decision.

Qin Sui understood that the Ninth Prince's full support for the Emperor was actually a little hasty. Now that she thought about it, she probably had to be anxious.

Could it be that Doctor Zhang's unconventional medical skills were also not good enough? After the two weddings were over, Xiao Hanyang also went to the Hanlin Academy, and the family returned to peace.

That day, Jiang Yue called Qin Sui over.

As soon as she entered the yard, Qin Sui felt something was strange. She hadn't been here for more than a month. However, because Jiang Yue had a calm personality and would not mistreat servants easily, the atmosphere here had always been quite good. It had never been so cautious or even a little lifeless.

"Princess, what's wrong with you?" Qin Sui was led in directly. She saw Jiang Yue wearing casual clothes, leaning against the couch reading a book, looking quite relaxed.

Jiang Yue pointed to the couch opposite and said, "Come on, sit down!"

Qin Sui naturally couldn't take off her shoes and go up, so she sat on the edge of the couch, turned her head and looked at Jiang Yue. When she got closer and took a closer look, she also saw some clues.

There were red bloodshot eyes. It looked like she was either severely sleep deprived or had been crying too much.

But I can't tell anything from his expression.

Qin Su and Jiang Yue never beat around the bush when talking. However, due to her current status, Qin Su would be more polite, but she would not flatter like others in a hypocritical way: "Princess, your face doesn't look good. Everything should be based on your health. Don't overwork yourself."

"I called you here today because I want to tell you that I plan to go to the Guanyin Temple to worship. Can you accompany me?"

Go to the Guanyin Temple? There are many Guanyin Temples in and outside the city, but Jiang Yue did not mention which one.

But Qin Sui had an idea. The most famous Guanyin Temple outside the city was the most effective place for praying for a child. Could it be that she wanted to have a child?
Qin Sui calmly glanced at Jiang Yue's belly, thinking there should be no movement.

But she had only been married for a few months, so it was normal that she was not pregnant. Why did she suddenly want to have a child? Could it be that Concubine Li was pregnant?

It seemed like a flash of inspiration, and Qin Sui had a guess.

As expected, Jiang Yue said directly: "Concubine Li is pregnant. It has been three months. She only brought the baby to me yesterday. I asked why she didn't tell me earlier. Do you know what Concubine Li said?"

Qin Cui raised her eyebrows, probably guessing that it was not something good.

"She said that she would not tell anyone until the baby was stable. Although I am not an outsider, she is pregnant with our prince's first child, so any caution is not excessive. Humph, don't think I don't know. She is on guard against me, afraid that I would do something to the child. You really underestimated me. Am I such a person?"

"Three months? Does the prince know?" Qin Cui frowned. She thought Jiang Yue managed the palace in an orderly manner. Who would have thought that she didn't even know that a woman in the palace was three months pregnant. It can be seen that her position in this palace is not solid.

"That's what I'm angry about. That man eats with me every day, and we sleep in the same room from time to time, but he never tells me anything. You know, I'm the princess of this mansion, so where does he want to put me now?"

Qin Sui finally understood that Jiang Yue was not only upset about Concubine Li's pregnancy, but was also sad about the way her partner treated her.

Of course, Jiang Yue must have been worried that if Concubine Li gave birth to a son, he would be the eldest son. Even if she gave birth to a son, she would lose the title of the eldest son.

"But Concubine Li is pregnant, so I went to pray for a child in a hurry. It would be embarrassing to tell others about it, so I want you to accompany me quietly. I also know that the guards at home are very capable, and I feel at ease with you accompanying me."
