The prince of Dingbei cleared his throat and said, "Huaian, I have a good suggestion. We can use women's jealousy..."
Wen Huaian interrupted him immediately.
"Your suggestion can be discarded!"
Tang Cheng is an unconventional girl. Maybe she would happily congratulate him after hearing such rumors.
Wen Huaian felt depressed when he thought about this.
"No, Huai'an, I haven't finished yet. I mean, spreading a rumor that another woman is pregnant with your child will arouse Miss Tang's jealousy and competitiveness. Isn't she arrogant because she has your child? If she doesn't have this unique honor, she will definitely be anxious and may even beg to be re-engaged with you!" The Prince of Dingbei became more and more excited as he spoke.
This is even more outrageous...
Wen Huaian glared at him with a dark look on his handsome face. He really shouldn't have had any hope for them.
The eldest young master of Duke Qi's house twitched his lips, and looked at the son of Marquis Dingbei with contempt: "Su Jingxing, did you go out without your brain today? What bad ideas did you come up with? Everyone knows what kind of person Fourth Miss Tang is. She had been pestering the Fourth Prince and even wanted to have an abortion for him. If it weren't for Marquis Nanyang stopping her, Huai'an's child would have been gone long ago. Do you think she would care whether Huai'an got another woman pregnant?"
"Maybe she'll take the opportunity to get an abortion!"
What the eldest young master of the Duke of Qi's Mansion said was definitely not alarmist. He once accidentally heard Fourth Miss Tang brazenly telling her maid that she wanted to marry into the royal family and become a superior person. Fourth Miss Tang had no self-awareness, so this trick was useless on her.
"If she wants to have an abortion, then have one. It's not like Fourth Miss Tang is the only one who can give birth to a child for Huai'an. Didn't my aunt spread the word that Huai'an's health has improved? Now it's spread everywhere." The Prince of Dingbei Marquis argued in a convinced tone.
The eldest young master of Duke Qi's Mansion: "..."
Wen Huaian's handsome face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he almost emitted black gas all over his body. He gritted his teeth and said, "My body is healed, but the problem of having children has not been solved."
The Prince of Dingbei was dumbfounded.
"But my aunt said..."
"We invited the imperial physicians yesterday. Mother didn't believe their diagnosis and thought that I had colluded with them to deceive her. Mother also broke off the engagement without telling my father and me. When I got the news and rushed over, it was too late."
Wen Huaian closed his eyes, and the veins in his hand holding the teacup were throbbing slightly.
He didn't know why his mother couldn't wait to spread such false rumors after she canceled his marriage with Tang Cheng without his permission.
It seemed that his mother's attitude changed after he and Tang Cheng got engaged.
The reason he wanted to re-engage with Tang Cheng was not only because he didn't want his child to have an extra stepfather, but also largely because he wanted to protect his child.
After breaking off the engagement, who knows how Marquis Nanyang will react.
Tang Cheng vowed to give birth to the child, but as for Marquis Nanyang, he almost forgot to take Marquis Nanyang's reaction into account.
Did mother really not think of this
Wen Huaian's eyes darkened.
The box fell into an eerie silence.
The two had originally heard what the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo had said, and thought that Wen Huaian was in good health and no longer had to worry about having children, so they were ready to celebrate for Wen Huaian. Unexpectedly...
This is embarrassing.
Miss Tang Si was able to accidentally become pregnant with Huai'an's child. This was not only a matter of luck but also related to her physical condition. She should be the most suitable person for Huai'an.
Even if she is arrogant, brainless and vain, if they were in Wen Huaian's situation, they would definitely grab this straw, and it has nothing to do with love.
Besides, Fourth Miss Tang is very pretty.
Someone with the character of Fourth Miss Tang cannot become the head of a noble family, but she can give birth. Noble families value offspring and inheritance, so the child born can be taken away from the biological mother to be raised, not to mention that behind Fourth Miss Tang stands the Marquis of Nanyang, her biological father who dotes on her to the sky.
But my aunt's behavior goes against the grain. It seems to be for Huai'an's good, but in fact it cannot stand up to closer scrutiny.
A strange look flashed in the eyes of the eldest young master of Duke Qi's Mansion. He didn't know whether Huai'an had discovered it or not. Maybe he had, but he didn't dare to think about it too much.
The three of them finished their tea in silence and went back home.
…
Outside, the whole capital was talking about Master Wen's good health and the Duke Zhenguo's cancellation of the engagement. Public opinion was almost unanimous in favor of the Duke Zhenguo, saying that the cancellation of the engagement was a good decision and that Fourth Miss Tang was not worthy of Master Wen.
When Liu Jintong of Jian'an Earl's Mansion heard the news for the first time, the smile on his face never disappeared.
She knew that the idiot Tang Cheng would seek death, and now the marriage is ruined.
It's really satisfying.
It's a pity that Tang Cheng is still pregnant with the baby. It would be great if the baby was gone. Without the baby, she would never be able to have anything to do with the powerful Duke Zhenguo's Mansion again.
"Yaohong, do you think Prince Wen is really well?"
Liu Jintong asked with narrowed eyes, in his previous life, Master Wen's health was not good, and he had to be pure and abstain from desires in order not to die young. The Lady of the Duke of Zhenguo had used despicable means on Master Wen for her niece Xie Xue Ning, but ultimately failed and left Master Wen's life hanging by a thread. The Lady of the Duke of Zhenguo was also sent to the temple by the furious Duke of Zhenguo, and it was announced to the outside world that it was the Lady of the Duke of Zhenguo who asked to become a nun and pray for Master Wen.
For this, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo won praise from everyone.
She knew this secret because she accidentally saved a woman who worked secretly for the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, and she lost her good impression of the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo since then.
Yao Hong replied respectfully: "I heard that the news was spread by the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, so it shouldn't be false."
Liu Jintong sneered and said meaningfully: "I also hope this news is true."
In this way, Tang Cheng's stupid child would be dispensable.
But Liu Jintong knew this was impossible.
Suddenly, Liu Jintong thought of something and opened his eyes wide.
How could she forget the Marquis of Nanyang who doted on that idiot Tang Cheng.
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo canceled the marriage, and the Marquis of Nanyang was furious and would never let that idiot Tang Cheng give birth to a child.
Thinking of this, Liu Jintong's mood improved again.
…
Marquis Nanyang did not expect that the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo would suddenly come to cancel the engagement today.
Everyone in the capital knew what kind of personality his precious daughter had. It was not like the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo had known about it for the first time. She had just made trouble for that brat Wen Huaian and she had used this as an excuse to cancel the engagement.
The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is really going too far.
Even if the Duke of Zhenguo repeatedly explained that this was not his intention, the marriage was called off!
All his previous plans for his precious daughter came to nothing.
This matter is not over yet!
The Marquis of Nanyang, who was sitting in the carriage, twirled the ring in his hand with a fierce look in his eyes.
As soon as he returned to the mansion, Marquis Nanyang went straight to the peony garden. When the women in the backyard found out, they felt very upset. Zhang looked calm. She had no time to pay attention to Tang Cheng now. Her mind was on her daughter.
The servants had already reported to her that Tang Xin had gone to the Peony Garden to look for Tang Cheng. Zhang could not hide her disappointment. If Jinshu had not said that Xin'er had given up the idea now, she would have wanted to confine her to the yard and make her copy "The Rules for Women".
At this time, Marquis Nanyang had already arrived at the Peony Garden.
Tang Cheng’s first reaction when he saw his father the Marquis was to present him with a tricolor peony.
"Dad, look, this is the tricolor peony I asked Tang Xin for. Isn't it beautiful? I heard it's very precious."
Marquis Nanyang looked at the three-color peony on the table in shock. He looked at it back and forth several times to make sure that it was really three colors and not dyed by his precious daughter.
“It is indeed very beautiful.”
"My daughter gave this pot of tricolor peonies to Daddy. Do you like it?"
Tang Cheng raised his smile and asked expectantly.
"Daddy loves it!"
Marquis Nanyang reached out and rubbed her head, then glanced at his precious daughter with amusement, knowing well what she was thinking.
It can be seen that my precious daughter was not affected by the broken engagement.
Marquis Nanyang felt relieved when he thought about his daughter's request for an abortion a few days ago. If he had known that the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo would cancel the engagement, he would not have stopped his precious daughter.
But it’s not too late now.
"Cheng'er, Daddy won't stop you from having an abortion!"
