Tang Cheng continued excitedly, "I said that Aunt Chen and her sister didn't have such a good relationship. You can guess it without thinking. The sister is a married woman with many children and grandchildren, while Aunt Chen is just a concubine who has been alone in an empty room for so many years. Her psychology has long been distorted."
"Maybe Aunt Chen's sister was deceived by Aunt Chen's big pie. My father-in-law is so pitiful. He was almost cuckolded by Aunt Chen, and not just once. No wonder he had a dark face when I asked him this morning."
Tang Cheng said this with a sympathetic look on his face.
Wen Huaian coughed lightly.
Tang Tang, you are bringing up something that is not relevant.
But Tang Tang really guessed it right. Chen was indeed instigated by Aunt Chen, but she was not brave enough and was hesitant. Of course, it is also possible that she wanted Aunt Chen to take the lead while she reaps the benefits.
No matter what, Chen's end was to be sent to the ancestral temple to worship Buddha.
"Wen Huaian, I remember that my father-in-law was just injured and couldn't be sterile. He seems to be fine in that aspect. Why doesn't he like women?" After feeling sympathy, Tang Cheng asked with his head tilted.
The corners of Wen Huaian's mouth twitched. Tang Tang actually brought up such a thing so casually. His expression was indescribable.
"Ahem, father..." Wen Huaian considered his words, "Well, he is a man of few desires. The four concubines in the backyard were arranged by my grandmother when she was alive, just to continue the Duke's Mansion's offspring."
Tang Cheng's eyes widened: "..."
Therefore, the father-in-law became infertile and could no longer have children, so he stopped being interested in women.
Tang Cheng was speechless.
She thought of her father-in-law who was often busy going out early and coming back late. Well, this father-in-law was like an ancient version of a workaholic. It was normal that he was not interested in women. After all, everyone has different pursuits.
If you marry a man like this, you have to be able to endure loneliness.
Fortunately, Wen Huaian’s temperament is different from that of the Duke of Zhenguo.
Tang Cheng looked relieved.
She also wants to have a bunch of babies with Wen Huaian.
Wen Huaian looked at Tang Cheng's changing expressions and laughed secretly in his heart.
On this day, the emperor not only sent people to visit and show his concern, but also gave Tang Cheng a reward to calm him down.
Tang Cheng accepted it happily.
"The Emperor is a good man!"
Wen Huaian: “…”
Everyone in the capital has become numb to the emperor's great favor from Miss Tang Si.
Envy and jealousy can't come.
I really don’t know why Tang Si caught the emperor’s eye.
Three days later, Aunt Chen was escorted out of the capital and exiled to the bitter and cold northwest.
After dealing with Aunt Chen, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo went back to the nunnery, and the huge Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion became quiet.
Tang Cheng stayed quietly in the house to take care of her baby and pregnancy, while secretly making body-strengthening potions.
Strengthening medicine is extremely useful for pregnant women and babies in their belly. Tang Cheng had used it when she was pregnant with Dabao, and her physical condition had improved. It would make no difference whether she used the strengthening medicine this time or not.
This is not the empire she belongs to. There is no such thing as genetic level, and people with low genetic levels will not be discriminated against.
But Tang Cheng still hopes that Erbao and future children can benefit from the strengthening medicine like Dabao.
In ancient times, the infant mortality rate was very high, and even a small cold could be fatal.
How horrible.
Tang Cheng wants all her children to grow up safely and healthily.
This requires a strong physique.
Tang Cheng was thankful more than once that she could make body-strengthening potions. Even if she only knew this kind of potion, it would benefit her for life and help her live a healthy and long life in this backward feudal era.
Zhenzhu's four trusted maids were carefully trained by Marquis Nanyang for Tang Cheng as her dowry maids. They were tight-lipped and efficient. They delivered the medicinal materials Tang Cheng needed to Wutong Courtyard through Marquis Nanyang.
This matter was not hidden from Marquis Nanyang. After finding out, Marquis Nanyang went out of his way to cover up for his daughter.
Tang Cheng only prepared a small jar of body-strengthening potion for his own use.
There are many things to do at the beginning of the year, and court officials are the busiest. Wen Huaian is no exception. He is so busy every day that he did not notice that Tang Cheng was secretly refining a body-strengthening potion.
After taking the medicinal bath, Tang Cheng felt full of strength. On a whim, he kicked the big stone table in Wutong Courtyard hard.
A few clicks.
The big stone table is cracked!
Cracked!
Tang Cheng... Tang Cheng was stunned.
Her power is so strong
That's great.
Tang Cheng was ecstatic.
Pearl and the others gasped. Amber knew medical skills, and after being shocked, she quickly stepped forward and asked with concern.
"Miss, is your foot okay?"
Tang Cheng came back to his senses and stamped his feet. He walked back and forth several steps easily, waved his hands happily and said, "See, my feet are fine. The problem is this stone table. Zhenzhu, send someone to tell Butler Tang to send a stone table over. This stone table cannot be used."
pearl:"… "
"Yes, ma'am."
She quickly called a maid and asked her to find Butler Tang.
The maids in Wutong Courtyard were frightened by Tang Cheng's fierce action of kicking the stone table to pieces. Their hearts trembled and their legs became weak. This was a stone table, not a wooden table. With just one kick...
The young lady seemed to be even more... more brutal!
Tang Ping, who was taking a rest and drinking tea, learned that the young lady had actually kicked and cracked the stone table in Wutong Courtyard. The hand holding the teacup shook violently, and with a bang, the teacup fell to the ground and broke!
The maid who came to report: "..."
After a while, the shocked Tang Ping came to his senses and coughed lightly to cover up his gaffe.
"You go back. I'll have someone send a good stone table to Wutong Courtyard later."
Wen Huaian and the Duke of Zhenguo and his son were shocked when they learned about this when they returned home.
The stone table in Wutong Courtyard was made by craftsmen using hard stone. It was made of stone, not wood. Tang Cheng actually broke it with one kick...
Wen Huaian was in disbelief.
"Huaian, you have also used the body-strengthening potion. Can you kick the stone table to pieces without using force?"
The Duke of Zhenguo looked at his tall and handsome son beside him and asked thoughtfully.
Wen Huaian's mouth twitched.
"Father, I haven't tried it."
"Let's go to the martial arts training ground and try it." After saying this, the Duke of Zhenguo turned around and walked towards the martial arts training ground.
Wen Huaian: “…”
Tang Ping, who was ignored by his two masters, saw the young mistress strolling with the young master.
"Sir, the young lady is here."
Wen Huaian looked up and saw Tang Cheng waving at him with a bright smile not far away. His expression softened slightly and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
When Tang Cheng learned that Wen Huaian was going to kick the stone, his eyes lit up, and he took Dabao to the martial arts training ground to watch with great interest.
But she knew that Wen Huaian practiced martial arts and had full confidence in him.
Wen Huaian: “…”
A group of people came to the martial arts training ground.
The Duke of Zhenguo ordered his men to bring in a large stone as big as the stone table and clear the area.
Wen Huaian stood in front of the big rock and raised his foot to kick it.
Then the big rock was kicked far away...
The Duke of Zhenguo quickly went over to take a look and fell silent.
The big rock didn't crack!
It turns out that my son is not as strong as my daughter-in-law.
Tang Cheng pulled Wen Huaian over excitedly, and when he learned that the big rock was not cracked, he raised his hand and patted Wen Huaian on the shoulder to comfort him.
"It doesn't matter if I didn't break the stone. I can protect you."
It doesn’t matter that Wen Huaian is weaker than her.
After all, she is the biological father of Dabao and Erbao, and she also likes Wen Huaian's handsome face.
"Okay, I'll rely on Tang Tang to protect me from now on." Wen Huaian slightly raised the corners of his lips and looked at Tang Cheng with a smile who said he would protect him. He did not use the internal force of martial arts, so it was normal that the big rock did not crack.
The Duke of Zhenguo was in a very bad state.
The corner of Tang Ping’s mouth twitched: “…” I didn’t expect you to be such a prince.
After leaving the martial arts training ground, Tang Cheng couldn't help but quietly ask Wen Huaian: "Did you use martial arts?"
Wen Huaian held his quiet son Dabao in one hand and gently held Tang Cheng's hand in the other, smiling and whispering, "No."
No… No…
Tang Cheng: “…”
"Can you use martial arts to break a big rock?"
Wen Huaian curled his lips slightly, and said calmly: "I have broken several large rocks by kicking them when practicing martial arts."
So Wen Huaian is not weak at all!
Tang Cheng stared at him, wondering if she should pick up the physical training again, but she was pregnant with her second child...
Forget it, why bother practicing physical skills when you can use strengthening potions to strengthen your body
The people here are weak anyway.
Days of ease corrupt people.
Tang Cheng silently found an excuse for his laziness and fear of hardship and fatigue.
…
The news of Tang Cheng kicking the stone table and cracking it did not spread out, it just frightened the servants in the mansion, and the relationship between the young couple was still very good.
Pearl and others secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Life in the mansion was peaceful and leisurely, but the capital city after the New Year was not peaceful at all.
The once-in-three-year spring examination is approaching, and candidates from all over the country are gathering in the capital, making the city extremely bustling.
Whenever Tang Xin came to visit, she would tell him some gossip. She heard that the emperor was going to choose princes-in-law for two princesses of marriageable age.
Princess Irene was among them.
Tang Cheng was slightly surprised.
The emperor said he wanted to choose a prince consort at this time. Could it be that he wanted to choose one from the candidates in the spring examination
However, this matter had little to do with her. Anyway, her two elder brothers had no chance of becoming a prince consort, so Tang Cheng forgot about it after hearing it.
In mid-March, Tang Cheng’s most anticipated hundred-day banquet for Dabao is about to arrive.
Well, it's time to receive gifts again.
The night before the Hundred Days Banquet, Tang Cheng lay in bed, too excited to sleep.
"Wen Huaian, how many gifts do you think we can receive this time?"
Wen Huaian held his forehead in his hand and was speechless, knowing that Tang Cheng was thinking about this matter.
“It’s hard to say.”
Tang Tang has been very stingy with gifts lately. Most of the gifts he gave were reduced by half based on what he gave in the past. Some families even gave nothing at all.
This time, at Dabao’s hundred-day banquet, the gifts brought by the nobles who came to congratulate him would most likely be less than those at the full-moon banquet.
Tang Tang might be disappointed.
"There should be a lot. I love opening gifts the most. It would be great if the first baby is twins. I will definitely receive double the gifts. I hope this baby will be twins, and the second and third babies will come together." Tang Cheng had no idea what Wen Huaian was thinking, and said with longing.
Wen Huaian: “…”
He also wants his second and third babies to be born at the same time, but the problem is that it’s no use.
As for receiving double gifts, Wen Huaian turned his head to look at Tang Cheng's happy and expectant expression and laughed. Tang Tang was really thoughtful.
"Tang Tang, even if you give birth to twins, the gift won't be double, but it will be more generous."
Tang Cheng: “…”
"Then I'd better give birth to each baby at a time. This is more cost-effective."
Tang Cheng said decisively.
Wen Huaian couldn't help laughing and hugged Tang Tang, the little money-grubber, tightly.
Even if he only has two children in this life, Dabao and the unborn Erbao, Wen Huaian feels warm and touched by Tang Cheng's determination to have a baby for him.
On the day of the hundred-day banquet, Dabao, who was more than three months old, was dressed festively. His face, which looked more and more like Wen Huaian, was particularly beautiful and cute. Tang Cheng proudly held Dabao in his arms to show off to everyone.
Wen Huaian looked indulgent.
At this time, a slightly shabby carriage arrived at the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
The curtain of the carriage was opened, and a maid with ordinary appearance helped a beautiful woman with a bun to get off the carriage.
The beautiful woman looked up at the plaque of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, stroked her slightly pregnant belly, and felt a little bitter in her heart when she thought that Tang Si was pregnant with her second child.
