In the afternoon, the sun is shining brightly.
Wen Huaian felt relaxed and strong enough to kill a calf with his bare hands. He looked at the white clouds floating in the sky and for the first time felt that the sky above his head was so blue.
Only by experiencing it yourself can you realize the magic of the strengthening potion.
"Tang Cheng, thank you!"
All gratitude is reduced to one word: thank you.
Marquis Nanyang snorted. If he didn't trust Wen Huaian's character, he would never agree to let his precious daughter make potion for him.
However, he was secretly worried that Prince Wen, who had taken the strengthening potion, would no longer have difficulty in having children. If so, even if his precious daughter's engagement was not broken off, the Lady of the Duke of Zhenguo would probably not want her precious daughter to occupy the position of the Prince's wife.
Marquis Nanyang narrowed his eyes, weighing the pros and cons in his mind, then thought of his beloved daughter's shocking words, the corners of his mouth twitched, he felt that his worry seemed unnecessary, at most he, as a father, could find a son-in-law for his daughter, and as long as he was alive he would be his daughter's support, and no one could bully his beloved daughter.
The only regret is that the recipe and refining process of the strengthening potion have been exposed, otherwise it would give my precious daughter some confidence.
Tang Cheng accepted his thanks calmly and then stared at him intently.
"I like people who know how to repay a favor. Verbal thanks are not as good as something tangible."
Although he was asked for thanks so openly, Wen Huaian didn't find it offensive at all.
"what do you like?"
"You decide. I don't have anything I particularly like. Of course, I don't mind silver, which is so vulgar in the eyes of the noble scholars." Tang Cheng waved his hand and threw the question back.
Wen Huaian nodded: "I understand."
He decided to give Tang Cheng a generous thank-you gift when he returned.
"Okay, go back now. I'm going to take a nap. Oh, wait, I forgot that I have something very important to ask you."
Tang Cheng slapped his head in annoyance.
"What's the matter?" Wen Huaian rarely felt a trace of curiosity.
"Do you have other concubines?" Tang Cheng raised his delicate little face and asked bluntly.
Marquis Nanyang looked at Wen Huaian with sharp eyes.
In fact, Marquis Nanyang had already secretly sent people to investigate Wen Huaian in detail and was very clear about Wen Huaian's situation, but Marquis Nanyang did not say anything. He wanted to see how Wen Huaian would answer his beloved daughter's questions.
Should I tell the truth or lie for the sake of male dignity
Marquis Nanyang was very interested.
Wen Huaian met the burning gaze of Nanyang Marquis and his daughter, and his back stiffened slightly. He clenched his fist against the corner of his lips and coughed uncomfortably: "No."
"Is there a maid with beautiful red sleeves to accompany you?" Tang Cheng thought for a while and asked again.
"Neither." Wen Huaian shook his head.
The people serving him were all servants.
Tang Cheng looked unconvinced.
"Is this true? You are not lying to me, are you? I heard that you, the children of noble families, have a mistress at the age of thirteen or fourteen."
Wen Huaian's mouth twitched.
"I have a special situation."
He was born with fetal toxins, and later the toxins were eliminated, but his body was also damaged. He needed to be well taken care of, and it was not advisable for him to lose his yang energy prematurely, otherwise he would die young. If he wanted to live a long life, he had to be pure in mind and have few desires. The imperial physician said that his condition was very serious, and the fetal toxins almost damaged his foundation. Rather than saying that it would be difficult for him to have children, it was actually very likely that he would never have children in his entire life.
Wen Huaian didn't want to die young, he wanted to live a good life, even if he could only adopt a child.
That accident with Tang Cheng was also his first time. He was seriously injured and it took him more than half a month to recover. This matter was blocked by the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. He absolutely could not let Tang Cheng know about such a thing that would damage his manhood.
"You mean that you had to abstain from sex before because of special circumstances, but now that you have used the strengthening potion and are stronger, will you take in a bunch of concubines?"
Tang Cheng frowned. There were too many variables in a year. Besides, the child's father was in good health now and had nothing to worry about. It was said that men would become addicted to meat once they started having sex, especially those who were forced to be celibate due to physical reasons. After they recovered, they would become even more unrestrained and indulge in other women.
Should she prepare for a rainy day and find a few clean and handsome young men from noble families to observe
Tang Cheng thought secretly.
Wen Huaian paused.
"Won't!"
He has been cultivating himself for many years and has indeed never thought about this.
"Really? I plan to get married after I have a baby. If you can't wait, you can cancel the engagement. I won't be someone else's equal wife or concubine."
"If you have physical contact with another woman within this year, our marriage will be over. I will not share my husband with other women, whether before or after the marriage. Don't give me excuses that you have no choice. If you can't accept it, just tell me so that I can prepare for the rainy day and find another one."
"After all, we can get divorced after getting married."
"It would be nice for the child to have a loving stepfather."
Tang Cheng didn't say whether she believed him or not. She made her attitude clear in advance and said something ugly upfront.
Tang Cheng was a proud person and she had no intention of sharing her husband with other women.
If she can't do it, she can just change her husband. There are so many men in the world, she won't hang herself on a tree.
Nanyang Hou interjected slowly.
"It's time to prepare for a rainy day, Cheng'er. Dad will start collecting information on young talents in the capital for you tomorrow."
"Dad, you're so nice!"
"I like handsome and tall men. I don't like those who are average or ugly."
Tang Cheng happily took the arm of Marquis Nanyang and made his request as if no one was around.
Nanyang Hou glanced at Wen Huaian, who had a gloomy face, and agreed with a smile.
"good."
The four maids: "..."
Servants A and B: "..."
Old doctor: “…”
Nanny Cao and Nanny Gao were stunned.
The fiancée is always thinking about climbing the wall to find a stepfather for her unborn child, and the future father-in-law is always handing her a ladder.
It's so awful.
Wen Huaian’s handsome face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
"Please rest assured, my Lord. I will never let your daughter down."
He would not let his children call someone else dad.
Nanyang Hou raised his eyebrows and said with a half-smile, "Everyone can say nice things, but whether they can do it is another matter."
Tang Cheng nodded in agreement.
"Dad is right. We should prepare for a rainy day."
Wen Huaian felt a breath stuck in his heart.
The spring afternoon was warm and Tang Cheng yawned as he felt sleepy.
"Okay, I'm going to take a nap. By the way, the strengthening potion is used to strengthen the body. It can't cure infertility or difficulty in having children. If you don't believe me, you can ask the imperial physician to check it out."
Tang Cheng said this and went back to his room to take a nap.
In the Empire, the function of strengthening potions is to strengthen the body.
Of course, if a man who has no fertility problems uses a strengthening potion, it will be easier for him to have children.
But Wen Huaian's situation is special.
The strengthening potion only strengthens his body. Unless he gets married with a woman with a fertile physique, he will never be able to have children in his lifetime.
Tang Cheng felt that he was a soft-hearted person. After all, he was the child's father, so it would be better not to give him hope, lest he could not bear the blow.
So cruel.
Marquis Nanyang smiled happily.
She is worthy of being his beloved daughter, well done!
Wen Huaian: “…”
He already knew his situation and didn't hold out much hope.
Tang Cheng's words shattered his tiny hope.
