Yuan Cixian didn't ask this question out of prank. In fact, this was the first thing that challenged her will when she first learned the truth last night.
Her original intention of approaching Lu Shiqing was to stay away from Zheng Zhuo and find a bright backer, but she never expected that after going around in circles, she would end up back to square one and inevitably embark on the old path of her previous life: her father loved Zheng Zhuo, and the man she married was his best friend.
All of this is just like what Shao He called the destiny that cannot be violated.
Especially after witnessing the close relationship between Lu Shiqing and Zheng Zhuo, it was hard for her not to worry - she was afraid that he would abandon the Yuan family, and she was also afraid that he would break off his relationship with his best friend for her, and fall into a painful dilemma.
Lu Shiqing seemed not to understand her intention for a moment, and said awkwardly with a twitch of his lips: "You are not jealous of Zheng Zhuo, are you?"
Yuan Cixian choked and said, "I'm not you, who can't even let go of your own jealousy..." Then he said seriously, "I'm serious."
Lu Shiqing stopped smiling when he heard this, and instead of answering, he asked, "Why do you say that?"
She shook her head to indicate that it was nothing, thinking that everything was fine now, and forcing him to make such an assumption was a bit unreasonable, so she said, "Forget it, I won't embarrass you, let me take a look at your injury first."
Seeing that she was about to step forward and rip off his clothes, Lu Shiqing stopped her hand and held it in his palm, looking down at her and said, "What I mean is, you are wrong. It's not your family, but my family." His tone was calm and slow, "If I can't even protect my own family and can even abandon them at will, how can I stand in the court and assist the wise master in my mind?"
Yuan Cixian was startled, raised her head and stared at him with twinkling eyes.
"And similarly, if the wise leader I wholeheartedly believe in is a despicable person who will do anything to get to the top by stepping on innocent and good people, how can I protect my family? I don't know where your temptation and hostility towards Zheng Zhuo come from, but he is not as relaxed about the Cai He matter as you see on the surface. It's just that he has to make some choices when he is in a high position. Everyone has selfish desires, but it doesn't mean that he is an unforgivable person."
"I promise you, as long as I am here, the Yuan family and him will never become a life-and-death confrontation. No matter what, I will protect them, and what you said will never happen no matter what. If you believe in me, then believe in the people I believe in."
Yuan Ci looked at him quietly, a smile gradually appearing in her eyes.
She thought that she believed in Lu Shiqing in this life more than in the illusory dream that had become the past and was difficult to distinguish.
She tilted her head back slightly, kissed his chin gently, and said, "Okay."
*
Lu Shiqing was aroused by her active kiss and was about to lower his head to kiss her back, but she stopped him. She said she wanted to check the wound on his chest.
The scar was so ugly that he didn't even want to look at it any more, and he didn't know what was so good about it, but she insisted, so he had no choice but to take off his clothes. Who would have thought that by coincidence, when he was in a disheveled state, Xuan came knocking on the door and said she had brought him some tonic soup.
He was afraid of being misunderstood for being careless and having sex in broad daylight, so he dressed quickly. In a panic, he closed his collar inside out. It was only when Yuan Cixian opened the door and invited Xuan in that he realized something was wrong. As a result, he was glared at by his mother, who misunderstood him deeply.
But A Niang is A Niang after all, and she still thinks about him and his future child. She put down the deer antler soup that she had prepared for him and left. Before leaving, she reminded Yuan Cixian to make sure he finishes drinking it.
Yuan Cihan of course knew what this soup was for. Thinking that Lu Shiqing did not seem to be very smart last night and that he might just be physically weak and have kidney deficiency, she did as she was told.
Lu Shiqing, who was forced to drink a large bowl of tonic soup, gritted his teeth and thought that she would regret it tonight. Unexpectedly, at night, the weather was beautiful and after bathing, he sat by the couch waiting for Yuan Cihan to come out of the bathroom, ready to avenge himself in front of her, but when she came, she pinched her face, counted on her ten fingers, and looked serious, calculating something.
He was slightly startled, and seeing that she was so serious that she didn't even look at the road and was about to bump into the stool in front of her, he quickly stepped forward to move it away, then stopped her and asked, "What are you calculating?"
Maybe she was calculating how many days he would have to sleep on the footstool. This afternoon, she looked like she had calmed down.
Yuan Cixian came back to her senses after hearing the voice, blinked woodenly, bit her lower lip, looked at him with some difficulty in speaking, "I'm calculating... I'm calculating my period."
Lu Shiqing blinked even more blankly than she did, and asked hesitantly: "What happened to Yue Xin..."
She waved her hand to signal him to wait, then counted again on her fingers, wondering to herself: "It's today, right?" After she finished speaking, she seemed to have thought of something, and grabbed his arm in fear, "Lu Shiqing, I'm not pregnant!"
"… "
Lu Shiqing smiled incredulously: "Wait... calm down." After he finished speaking, he seemed to be a little uncalm, staring at her and asked, "No... is your menstruation so accurate this year?"
She nodded very confidently: "I used to be exactly one day off, otherwise I wouldn't have noticed something was wrong so quickly."
He glanced at the sky outside the window, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "Then today hasn't passed yet, has it?"
Yuan Cixian thought this made sense, and said solemnly, "How about we wait and see?"
He twitched his mouth: "How can we wait like this?"
She pointed to the outer room and suggested seriously: "Let's go outside and play chess for a while, maybe he will come later."
Lu Shiqing also had doubts in his heart, so he had to agree. He accompanied her to play chess outside, thinking while making moves, and then put forward his own views: "I remember," he was blocked as soon as he opened his mouth. After all, he had just got married, so he was not so shameless to talk about such things. It didn't matter, but he finally bit the bullet and continued, "I remember that it is not easy to get pregnant if you have sex a few days before your period."
The implication is that she must have thought too much.
Yuan Cixian made a move when she heard this, and then nodded her head like crazy: "It seems that there is such a saying!" After saying this, she frowned again, "But why do I remember that it is not easy to get pregnant a few days after the menstrual period?"
Lu Shiqing was no longer sure after hearing what she said, and frowned as he asked, "Where did you hear that?"
"Just a few days ago when I was preparing for my wedding, an old lady told me that. How about you? Where did you hear that from?"
"Me too."
Yuan Cixian asked in surprise, "Then why do we hear different things?"
Lu Shiqing shook his head in confusion. Yes, why are they different
The two frowned and tried to recall the situation at that time. One insisted that it was after Yue Xin, and the other firmly believed that it was before Yue Xin. They were absent-minded during the whole game: Lu Shiqing took the piece of Yuan Cixian's color to place. Yuan Cixian was better and directly moved the piece on the board.
When the two people, distraught and terrified, discovered that something was wrong with the chess game, they no longer had the heart to play.
Seeing that Yuan Cixian was already very sleepy and had been rubbing her eyes to stay awake, Lu Shiqing pushed the chessboard aside and said, "Go to sleep."
Unexpectedly, she still frowned and shook her head, looking at him earnestly and said, "No, there are still two hours left, wait a little longer. I... I'm nervous."
He was actually just as nervous as she was, but he was more rational and said seriously, "If you can't wait for two hours, are you going to sleep tonight? Even if you take a step back, if you are pregnant, do you want to ruin your body and end up with two deaths?"
Although he didn't want the child to be born in the short-lived sexual intercourse like last night, what could he do if he really got pregnant? She was his legally married wife and they didn't elope, so of course he had to try his best to give birth.
Yuan Cixian was annoyed by his sharp tongue, but she also felt that what he said made sense. After being glared at by him for a while, she compromised and said, "Okay, let's go to sleep."
After she said that, she dragged her somewhat weak legs to the inner room and got on the bed.
Lu Shiqing cleaned up the mess on the table, and came to the footstool to confirm: "Where should I sleep?"
She only found out she was getting married five days before the wedding, and she suspected she was pregnant one day after the wedding. Yuan Cixian was so fragile that she couldn't calm down. She patted the mattress beside her and said with a pout, "Here."
Lu Shiqing climbed up as he wished and lay beside her, but in this situation, it was impossible to avenge the previous shame, so he had to hold his breath and close his eyes, but he couldn't fall asleep because he was thinking about this matter. He opened his eyes and turned his head to look at Yuan Cixian, and found that she was curled up in the corner of the bed. Although she closed her eyes, her eyelashes were trembling all the time, and it was obvious that she had not fallen asleep.
He originally wanted to keep some distance from her so as not to be unable to hold back, but now seeing her like this, he couldn't bear it. After thinking about it, he moved over and held her in his arms, and asked in a low voice: "Can't sleep?"
As he approached, a very clean scent of soapberry came to her face. Yuan Cixian thought it smelled good, so she opened her eyes, sniffed, and nodded: "I'll try my best."
Lu Shiqing knew that she was not mentally prepared for this matter. He felt that he had just spoken too harshly, and it was really a bit of a bad idea to talk without any pain in the waist. He lowered his head and asked her: "What did you do when you couldn't sleep before?"
Yuan Cixian answered honestly, "When I was a child, my mother would tell me stories and pat me on the back." She looked up at him, "Do you want to imitate her?"
Lu Shiqing choked.
He didn't particularly want to imitate her when it came to telling stories, but he couldn't refuse at this moment, so after a moment of silence he patted her back, then asked patiently, "What do you want to hear?"
Yuan Cixian closed her eyes and nestled in his arms. Hearing his reluctant tone, she pouted and said, "Just tell me the story of a long time ago there was a mountain and there was a temple on the mountain. If you tell me that story 30 times, I'll probably fall asleep."
Lu Shiqing sighed, his hands moving constantly as he began to speak: "Once upon a time there was a mountain, on the mountain there was a temple, in the temple there was an old monk and a young monk. One day, the old monk said to the young monk, 'Once upon a time there was a mountain, on the mountain there was a temple...'"
As he was talking, he didn't know how many times he fell asleep. When he woke up, it was already early the next morning. Seeing Yuan Cihan still sleeping soundly in his arms, he jumped up and called her.
Yuan Cixian was startled awake by his noise, and asked him in a daze, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Lu Shiqing stared at her and said two words: "Menstruation."
She finally realized what was going on, got out of bed and rushed to the bathroom to check, then came out with a sad face, wanting to cry but unable to, "No..."
