The flower hall was eerily quiet for a moment.
Zhang lowered her head to drink tea to hide the twitching corners of her mouth. The fourth girl really spared no effort in tricking her.
Yet she was still full of confidence.
Even if you try to have a baby after the confinement period, and even if your son-in-law doesn't have difficulty in having children, it's impossible to say that you can get pregnant in a month.
The fourth girl must be thinking that her life is too good, and she would feel uncomfortable if she doesn't get laughed at and slapped in the face by others.
God is indeed fair. The fourth girl has a good life and good luck, but her brain is not that good.
Zhang thought silently in her heart.
The other party involved, Wen Huaian, had his eyes twitching. Although he was used to Tang Cheng saying whatever he wanted, he was still shocked by Tang Cheng's unparalleled confidence and shocking words. Facing the condemnation and anger from his father-in-law, Wen Huaian endured it silently.
Refute Tang Tang
Wen Huaian wouldn't do that, so let's just embarrass ourselves together. He can afford it.
“Tang Tang is right. Please wait for our good news, father-in-law.”
Does the wife follow the husband’s lead
Tang Cheng was very happy. She just told her father the Marquis about the good news in her pregnancy because she was so happy. But the words had already been said and Tang Cheng had no intention of taking them back and slapping herself in the face.
Unexpectedly, Wen Huaian agreed with her without hesitation. Tang Cheng was quite touched. Well, she would definitely not let him down.
Anyway, the words have been spoken, so just wait for the results.
There are two possible results.
Tang Cheng didn't care. What other people think is none of her business. If she didn't get pregnant this time, she would wait for next time. Anyway, she had an easy-to-conceive physique, and Wen Huaian was not infertile, it was just that he had difficulty in having children. She would eventually get pregnant with her second, third, fourth... baby...
Tang Cheng once thought about having a bunch of children. Since the current topic happened to be what she liked, Tang Cheng couldn't control her excitement and imagined a beautiful future.
"Dad, Wen Huaian, do you think the second baby will be a boy or a girl?"
Wen Huaian paused, obviously not expecting Tang Cheng to jump to the gender of the missing child. He smiled indulgently and said, "I like both sons and daughters."
Tang Cheng nodded happily.
"If it's a girl, she can make a good character. If it's a boy, he will definitely be a good brother or a good brother."
Nanyang Marquis: “…”
Good brother... Good brother...
You are talking so excitedly about something that doesn't exist!
Before the second baby showed up, the third baby had already reserved a spot.
Marquis Nanyang glanced at his son-in-law who was smiling and agreeing with his beloved daughter, and felt quite satisfied.
Tang Cheng's eldest and second sisters looked at each other tacitly, trying hard to suppress the upturned corners of their lips.
Dream on, dream hard!
It would be a good thing if it becomes a joke for everyone to talk about after dinner.
The maids and servants in the flower hall listened to the Fourth Young Miss's nonsense with all their eyes and ears, never expecting that the spoiled and willful Fourth Young Miss would also daydream.
After the butler came in to report that lunch was ready, Tang Cheng ended the topic with a lingering feeling. Everyone present, including Wen Huai'an, breathed a sigh of relief.
The lunch was very sumptuous.
Tang Cheng was surprised to find steamed shrimps. These shrimps were big and looked plump.
"Dad, where did this shrimp come from?"
Nanyang Hou glanced at Tang Xin who was sitting not far away and said with a smile: "Your third sister sent someone to get it from the sea."
Tang Cheng suddenly realized and looked at Tang Xin who was smiling at her. No wonder there were shrimps. It turned out that Tang Xin got them. That was not surprising.
"It seems I'm in luck."
Tang Cheng was very happy.
"If Fourth Sister likes it, I'll have someone send you a truckload of seafood later." Tang Xin said with a smile.
This was seafood that she had people get. It was her own private property and she had the final say. She had already sent a truckload of it to the Fourth Prince.
She also wanted to give gifts to her fourth sister, but if she did so, it would be wrong not to give gifts to her two half-sisters, and it would also affect her reputation. So Tang Xin had no choice but to not give any gifts to either of them.
Seeing that the fourth sister liked seafood, Tang Xin immediately sent her a cart of seafood.
It is well known that the Marquis’ father favors the fourth sister. In this case, no one would believe it even if the two concubine sisters were making trouble.
Since the Marquis father can no longer be relied upon, it is better to rely on the fourth sister. Perhaps it is the butterfly effect, the fourth sister is doing even better than in the original book, and has overshadowed the heroine's brilliance.
Even though Liu Jintong is now the fiancée of the male protagonist, the seventh prince, she is not as famous as in the books, where she kills people everywhere and tramples on the noble ladies of the capital.
Of course, she also had some credit for this.
Tang Xin is very satisfied with the current situation.
It would be even better if we could go a step further.
"Okay, then I won't be polite." Tang Cheng accepted Tang Xin's kindness generously. Tang Xin will get married next year, and he will give her more makeup to make her look more beautiful.
She is not short of money now.
Marquis Nanyang did not say anything, but from the smile on his face one could tell that he was very satisfied.
Zhang only took one look at Tang Xin and then focused her attention on her son. She hoped that her son would pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi in the spring after the new year and get married soon. She wanted to have a grandchild.
Tang Cheng's eldest and second sisters' eyes were red. In fact, they had already known from their biological mothers that the third sister had got a batch of fresh and rare seafood. They had been thinking about it for a long time and even mentioned it to the third sister, but she was rejected. Now they were eager to give it to the fourth sister.
The two were extremely angry about the unequal treatment.
Fortunately, the Marquis of Nanyang had great prestige, so they still had the sense to not make trouble, and they also restrained their children. As for their husbands, they were like mice seeing a cat in front of their father-in-law, the Marquis of Nanyang, and were unusually quiet.
After the meal started, Wen Huaian saw Tang Cheng's eyes fall on a plate of steamed shrimps in front of him. He didn't know what he was thinking of, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He immediately put down his chopsticks, rolled up his sleeves, washed his hands in a copper basin of warm water, and prepared to help Tang Cheng peel the shrimps.
"I'll peel the shrimp."
Pearl, who was about to step forward to serve the young lady, silently stepped aside when she saw this.
"Okay, I want to eat a big one." Tang Cheng looked at him eagerly.
"Well, I'll pick out big shrimps for you."
Wen Huaian nodded with a smile, carefully picked the largest shrimp and peeled the shell gracefully. After a while, the shrimp was peeled and Wen Huaian placed it on a clean sweet white porcelain plate.
"Eat it."
Tang Cheng picked up the shrimp and ate it happily.
The shrimps have a salty taste and taste refreshing and not greasy.
I don’t know if it’s because Wen Huaian peeled the shrimps, but Tang Cheng felt that the shrimps were particularly delicious.
"tasty."
Wen Huaian peeled another shrimp and handed the shrimp and sauce to Tang Cheng with a smile.
“It tastes better with dipping sauce.”
As soon as Tang Cheng heard it, he dipped it in the sauce and ate it. It was indeed more delicious. Then Tang Cheng naturally picked up a peeled shrimp, dipped it in the sauce and handed it to Wen Huaian's mouth.
"You should try it too, it's delicious."
Tang Cheng's actions were generous and natural, and she was not embarrassed at all. She and Wen Huaian often did this when they had meals, and it had become a habit to them.
"good."
Wen Huaian's mouth curled up in joy, and he ate the shrimp with chopsticks, while his slender white hands continued to peel the shrimp elegantly and quickly.
Then…
Tang Cheng ate one himself and fed one to Wen Huaian.
The two of them showed their affection at the dining table as if no one was around.
Tang Xin's mouth twitched as he unexpectedly took a big mouthful of dog food.
Not only Tang Xin, but everyone else was staring at this scene in amazement, their expressions dazed.
Nanyang Marquis: “…”
He saw that the steamed shrimps on the plate in front of Tang Cheng were getting smaller and smaller. After thinking for a while, he called the housekeeper and whispered a few instructions. After a while, the maid brought over a large plate of steamed shrimps.
Then the two continued to show their affection.
Zhang and others: “…”
Tang Xin: “…”
She's almost full of dog food today.
The Marquis’ father also added fuel to the fire, and she...she was going to die from eating so much dog food!
Tang Xin's eyes were full of envy. She wished the Fourth Prince would pamper her like Wen Huaian.
Unfortunately this is impossible.
Others…
Others have no taste for the food.
After the lunch, everyone except Marquis Nanyang and the loving young couple breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally finished eating!
Very good!
The wet nurse coaxed Dabao to take a nap, Wen Huaian was pulled away by his brother-in-law and others to talk, and Tang Cheng and Tang Xin chatted in the warm inner room.
After it was revealed that Tang Xin was not the original owner, she was like a guest in the Nanyang Marquis Mansion. She counted the days until she got married every day.
"Fourth sister, you were impulsive today. It's better to wait until the doctor confirms the pregnancy before announcing it."
Tang Xin couldn't help rolling her eyes when she thought of Tang Cheng's anxious words about her pregnancy.
"Don't worry, I have a feeling I'll be pregnant." Tang Cheng was full of confidence, as she had a physique that was easy to get pregnant.
Premonition…
It sounds unreliable.
Tang Xin's lips moved, and finally turned into a dry blessing.
"I wish you all the best."
Tang Cheng accepted Tang Xin's blessing with a smile.
"Ahem, fourth sister, do you and your brother-in-law usually eat like today?" Tang Xin tried to hold back, but finally couldn't help but asked.
Tang Cheng nodded as if it was a matter of course.
"Yes, when we were eating together, Wen Huaian didn't like to be served by servants, so he often helped me pick fish bones and remove them, and then he went hungry first, so I had to help him fill his stomach."
Tang Xin: “…”
Why did she feel that Prince Wen did it on purpose
Just to let Tang Cheng feed him.
Tang Xin looked at Tang Cheng who was used to it, and secretly criticized Prince Wen, this scheming and big-tailed wolf, in her heart.
I didn't expect that Prince Wen would like a woman like Tang Cheng.
Yes, I like it.
Prince Wen's eyes and his every move all show his love for Tang Cheng.
Tang Xin possesses plant-related abilities, so it is easy for her to sense that Wen Huaian truly likes Tang Cheng and it is not a deliberate disguise.
On second thought, if someone was so scheming towards her, Tang Xin would definitely be very happy.
Alas, it’s really frustrating to compare yourself with others.
Tang Xin quickly changed the subject. She didn't want to be jealous, so she talked about the New Year banquet in the palace.
Tang Cheng looked uninterested.
Tang Xin's mouth twitched, and she had to change the subject. She changed the subject several times in a row, and finally turned to having children. Tang Cheng immediately became excited.
Tang Xin: “…”
An hour passed just like that.
Tang Xin looked as if she had lost all hope in life.
Seeing that it was getting late, Tang Xin immediately ended the conversation and sent the person away.
Tang Cheng's family of three returned to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion with a large cart of seafood. After leaving the Marquis of Nanyang's Mansion, Tang Cheng's eldest and second sisters were jealous and could not wait to send people to secretly spread the rumor that Tang Cheng revealed that he would be pregnant with good news in a few days.
So Tang Cheng's belly was targeted again.
Someone even started a bet on this.
The emperor also joined in out of boredom.
Wen Huaian: “…”
Because of Tang Cheng's hasty words, the Duke's Mansion had a very lively New Year, with people coming to pay New Year's greetings one after another.
Although Tang Cheng's words were harsh and direct, as the Crown Prince's wife, she was quite decent in her dealings with others, fully displaying the demeanor of a Crown Prince's wife.
This surprised many relatives and officials' families who came to visit during the New Year, but they were more interested in whether Tang Cheng was pregnant again.
