As time went by, the people of the capital gradually forgot about this once-famous No. 1 poisonous woman, except for those who had been murdered by her, who did not believe that she was really afraid of committing a crime and were still secretly investigating the case.
Two months later, Xie Xue Ning came to express her gratitude with gifts.
Tang Cheng curled the corners of his mouth as he looked at Xie Xue Ning, whose face was pale and full of gratitude, and accepted her gift without saying anything more.
Xie Xue Ning left tactfully.
Two months was enough time for Tang Cheng to find out how Zhao Yuanjin dealt with Princess Yilin, the mastermind behind the incident.
Zhao Yuanjin reported this directly to the emperor in secret.
After the emperor verified the matter, he randomly appointed a scholar from a humble family as his consort.
The matter was just exposed.
Tang Cheng satisfied his curiosity, showed a little sympathy to Xie Xue Ning, and then put them out of his mind and focused his attention on Dabao and the unborn Erbao.
The Great Zhou and its neighboring countries were still in a stalemate and had not engaged in a war, but the Duke of Zhenguo led an army of 300,000 to station at the border just in case.
In the original book, two countries were at war, and the heroine Liu Jintong used the large amount of food stored by the prophet to support the hero and fell in love with him. However, the plot was replaced with the two sisters Tang Xin and Tang Cheng, and Butterfly is gone.
The capital city is as prosperous and bustling as ever.
When Wen Huaian came back from court, he learned from the housekeeper that Xie Xue Ning came to thank him. He nodded indifferently to indicate that he understood. Wen Huaian did not dislike nor feel close to this cousin. Anything more would be enough.
He walked towards Wutong Courtyard. As soon as he stepped into the gate of Wutong Courtyard, he heard Tang Cheng's cheerful laughter teasing Dabao. Wen Huaian's mouth corners slightly raised.
At the end of the year, Tang Cheng gave birth to another big fat son for Prince Wen.
The Duke of Zhenguo, who was far away at the border, was very happy. Knowing Tang Cheng's money-grubbing nature, he generously gave Tang Cheng another property.
The noble ladies in the capital were extremely envious and jealous.
… …
Twelve years later, cement roads had spread throughout Da Zhou, and two more high-yield crops were grown. Da Zhou was prosperous and its people lived and worked in peace and contentment.
At this time, the Duke of Zhenguo submitted a memorial, and Wen Huaian, who had just turned thirty and was already the Minister of War, inherited the title of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and Tang Cheng became the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo.
The eldest son, Wen Yunli, grew up to be a handsome young boy, and he had nine younger brothers and sisters.
As the eldest brother, Dabao is just a thirteen-year-old boy, but he acts quite steadily.
Today is the first birthday party for my ninth younger brother, Shibao.
With a mother who likes to make trouble and is unreliable, and a father who dotes on his mother, Dabao is already familiar with arranging the matters of his younger brother's first birthday party and entertaining the guests with his younger brothers and sisters.
The noble ladies who came to attend the one-year-old birthday party all turned their eyes to Dabao and his family, expressing their envy.
Tang Si was really fertile. She gave birth to ten children for Minister Wen, all of whom were legitimate and outstanding.
Not only that, Minister Wen has only had Tang Si as his woman for more than ten years, and he almost spoils her to the sky.
The noble ladies who were of the same generation as Tang Cheng but did not have Tang Cheng's blessing were so envious that their eyes turned red with envy and jealousy.
Why is there such a big gap between people
Many ladies who have daughters of marriageable age have already set their sights on the growing Dabao. They all praise Dabao and his friends, praising them to the heavens.
The old wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, Mrs. Min, who had long been promoted to a grandmother, was grinning from ear to ear.
The old Duke Zhenguo, who was always serious and cold, could not hide his joy and high spirits in front of his old ministers.
The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is no longer the one with few offspring and difficulty in having children. Now the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is full of children and grandchildren. The old Duke of Zhenguo is very satisfied with Tang Si, his daughter-in-law who is good at giving birth.
Marquis Nanyang looked at the complacent old Duke Zhenguo and snorted softly, but when he thought of his group of smart and clever little grandchildren, he couldn't help but feel happy.
It was very lively outside, and Wutong Courtyard was also quite lively.
The Fourth Prince's Consort Tang Xin, Prince Rong's Consort, Qi Changxiu and Su Jingxing's wives gathered together talking and laughing.
Tang Xin was filled with envy when she looked at Tang Cheng, who was still stunningly beautiful and looked like she was in her twenties after giving birth to ten children.
Tang Cheng didn't look old despite giving birth to children so frequently. Her skin was fair and smooth, and there weren't even fine lines around her eyes. Tang Xin couldn't help but feel jealous.
She has plant-related abilities to maintain such good looks, but there are fine lines at the corners of her eyes. This shouldn't happen normally.
But over the years, Tang Xin has been looking forward to the old emperor's death and the fourth prince's ascension to the throne, and her eyes have turned red with anticipation. The old emperor is still alive and well, in excellent health, and enjoys eating everything. It seems that he is getting younger and younger.
Tang Xin almost vomited blood.
The emperor has been in office for such a long time, so the fourth prince will never have the chance to ascend to that position in his lifetime.
Of course Tang Xin was unwilling to accept this and was always brooding over it. He was nothing like Tang Cheng, who was heartless and had no worries or troubles.
She herself only gave birth to a son and a daughter. Tang Xin felt her scalp tingling when she saw Tang Cheng gave birth to ten children, almost one every year.
It's so horrible.
Upon hearing this, Prince Rong, the Crown Prince, the Concubine and the other two stopped talking and looked at Tang Cheng.
Tang Cheng raised his chin proudly: "I don't know how to use contraception, I'll give birth if I'm pregnant."
"Tang Cheng, the imperial physician said that having children frequently is not good. It is not only harmful to your body but also shortens your lifespan. It is already very enviable that you have ten children now. Minister Wen is also doing this for your own good." Mrs. Su Jingxing advised tactfully.
Tang Cheng waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, it's easy for me to give birth to children. I've given birth to ten and my body is in great shape. The imperial physician can attest to that. Of course, you and I are different. Two or three are enough. More than that will harm your body."

After all, Tang Cheng still wants to have a child.
Mrs. Su Jingxing: "..."
The corners of Tang Xin's mouth twitched. If it weren't for her own status and interests and her unwillingness to raise someone else's child, Tang Xin really didn't want to have children. In this ancient time with backward medical technology, giving birth to a child was like walking through the gates of hell for a woman.
But Tang Cheng was an exception. Giving birth was every time as easy as drinking water. It happened very quickly and she didn't feel any pain at all.
Tang Xin had long suspected that Tang Cheng's good health was related to the body-strengthening potion that Tang Cheng accidentally made more than ten years ago.
Unfortunately, such a good thing can only happen once.
There was no point in her worrying about it.
Over the past decade, Tang Cheng was instigated by her to refine body-strengthening potions several times. Either the potions exploded halfway through or there were problems with the potions. She also refined them privately, and each time the results were no different from ordinary medicinal soups.
Tang Xin finally gave up completely.
A few of them chatted about their children for a while, and as the auspicious time was approaching, the group left Wutong Courtyard.
The birthday party was very lively. Shibao finally grabbed a small wooden sword. People around him complimented him and said good things. Tang Cheng was very happy.
After the lively ceremony of grabbing the first month of the newborn, Shibao was taken away by the wet nurse to be fed with complementary food. Tang Cheng stayed in the room, looking through booklets and various gift lists, and calculating the accounts skillfully and quickly on an abacus. He looked very excited.
Although she had long given up the unreliable path of getting rich by having children, she gave birth to ten children, so compared to the gifts she gave away, she still made some money.
"It turns out that victory still depends on numbers."
At this time, a tall and straight figure entered the inner room quietly.
It was Wen Huaian.
Wen Huaian, who has just turned thirty, has an upright figure, a youthful and handsome face, and an imposing aura in his every move.
When Wen Huaian saw Tang Cheng excitedly counting the gift list and not noticing his return at all, he raised the corners of his mouth with a gentle look in his eyes.
Wen Huaian did not disturb Tang Cheng. He sat down on the couch silently.
After a cup of tea, Tang Cheng finally noticed Wen Huaian drinking tea leisurely, and his eyes lit up.

"Hey, Wen Huaian, you are done."
Wen Huaian nodded with a smile.
"Um."
Tang Cheng walked quickly to his side and happily told Wen Huaian that the gifts that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion had given out over the years had finally been recovered. He also said proudly that it was better to have more children.
There is a huge difference in the importance of a legitimate child and an illegitimate child. Her children are all legitimate, so the gifts others give them will be more generous.
Wen Huaian burst out laughing.
He reached out his arm to embrace Tang Cheng, rested his chin lightly on the top of her head, and whispered, "Tang Tang, after my fortieth birthday, I will retire and hand over the Duke's Mansion to Dabao. Let's leave the capital and travel around to see the beautiful scenery in various places!"
Tang Cheng widened his eyes and suddenly looked up at Wen Huaian, his eyes full of surprise.
"Really?"
"Really." Wen Huaian nodded. Seeing Tang Cheng's surprised and unbelievable look, he felt a little guilty: "But we have to wait a few years."
Tang Cheng waved his hands quickly: "It's just a few years. I can wait."
Tang Cheng was very excited when he thought that he would be able to travel around with Wen Huaian in a few years.
"Then let's not have any more children in the next few years, okay?" Wen Huaian took the opportunity to say.
Tang Cheng hesitated for a while and then agreed.
Wen Huaian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
…
Time flies, and six years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Wen Huaian finally reached his 40th birthday. After his birthday, Wen Huaian submitted a memorial to resign from his post.
The old emperor was shocked.
Who would retire in the prime of life? Even if the reason was to travel with his wife and children, it was so self-righteous that it was speechless.
The old emperor laughed angrily.
This chapter
Of course he didn't agree with such a half-hearted reason for retirement.
But Wen Huaian insisted on retiring, and finally both sides took a step back. Wen Huaian was appointed as an imperial envoy, with the right to execute first and report later.
Even though Wen Huaian did not successfully retire, Tang Cheng was still very excited.
She has been looking forward to this day for a long time.
At this time, Dabao and Erbao had already married and had children. The ten brothers and sisters all knew that their parents would leave Beijing soon and were reluctant to let them go. The youngest ones wished they could stick to them all day long.
Tang Cheng was also very reluctant to leave. Finally, she discussed with Wen Huaian and decided to take the children with them.
The little ones were very happy.
In the bright and cool September, Tang Cheng and Wen Huaian set out from Beijing with their children and a group of guards.
On the day I left Beijing, many relatives and friends came to see me off.
Tang Xin, the Fourth Prince, Su Jingxing, Qi Changxiu, Prince Rong and their wives and children were all there.
Tang Xin looked at the bright and beautiful Tang Cheng, and the tall and handsome Minister Wen beside her.
God really loves them, they look so young.
She watched the two of them get into the carriage together, her eyes filled with unconcealed envy.
In a corner, Xie Xue Ning and a young boy watched the carriage leave from afar.
In the carriage, Tang Cheng leaned his head comfortably on Wen Huaian's shoulder.
"Wen Huaian, I heard that Jiangnan is the most prosperous and wealthy place. Let's go to Jiangnan first!"
"good."
Wen Huaian smiled and nodded.
