Chapter 273
After the baby was one month old, the autumn examination had already ended, and Xie Yanyu had to return to the capital to report.
When he left, he gave me many instructions.
He also left behind two of his attendants, saying that they would return as soon as possible after fulfilling the emperor's order.
Xie Wanning sternly rejected it.
When she was giving birth, her brother's anxiety made Lu Ziyan suspicious. If he continued to travel to Bianzhou frequently, there was no guarantee that there would be no trouble.
"Don't worry, brother. I will take good care of myself and the child. Nothing will happen. You are the only one with my parents. Please be filial to me. After a year or two, when Lu Ziyan is no longer keeping a close eye on you, come and see me again."
Xie Wan Ning said: "By then, I hope you will have married your sister-in-law."
Speaking of which, Xie Yanyu's original wedding date was early spring this year.
But with such a big thing happening at home, Zheng, the mistress, suddenly fell ill in bed, and the Xie family was crying loudly, so they had no time to worry about the wedding ceremony.
His sister's body had not been found, and Xie Yanyu no longer had the intention of getting married.
When something like this happens, the couple are all reasonable people and would have discussed postponing the wedding date for a few months.
But I don’t know if it’s because Xie Wan Ning’s incident was too big and implicated the crown prince, which made the Li family have some concerns.
In short, when the Xie family proposed to postpone the wedding date, the Li family took the opportunity to ask for a cancellation of the engagement.
But the flowering period of a girl cannot be delayed.
So, the marriage that Xie Yanyu had finally arranged was ruined.
Xie Wan Ning was of course filled with guilt, and when she was seeing her brother off, she was thinking about bringing her a sister-in-law the next time they met.
No matter how worried he was, Xie Yanyu could only nod in agreement.
How could Xie Wan Ning be willing to do so?
But she knew that it was God's kindness that they and their brother and sister could unexpectedly reunite in Bianzhou and that she had her family by her side when she gave birth.
The current separation was her own choice.
Even so, Xie Wan Ning still felt lost after her brother left.
She still lives in the prefectural government, and Ji Chengfeng takes time out every day to visit the child.
Sometimes I sit in the yard, and sometimes I go into the living room.
The weather gradually turned colder. When Chen Xier was due, Xie Wan Ning went to accompany her in person.
It was even more difficult for her to give birth. It took her two days and one night to give birth.
It's also a boy.
After accompanying his mother to give birth and returning home, Ji Chengfeng handed him a letter.
From the capital.
It was written by Zheng himself.
The beautiful handwriting on the paper was blurred by tears several times.
In this letter, there is not a single complaint, only concern.
Even his concern was implicit. He just expressed his congratulations to his nephew Ji Chengfeng on the birth of his first son, mixed with a few words of concern for his daughter.
Until the end, I kept reminding them that the journey was long and that they could just receive the letter without having to reply.
Xie Wan Ning burst into tears when she saw this.
Ji Chengfeng handed her the handkerchief and explained in detail.
He said that the capital was in a state of panic and the two princes had been pushed into a desperate situation by Lu Ziyan.
For a man, it was a naked humiliation for his wife to be brought into the tent to entertain the troops.
It's almost an irreconcilable hatred.
Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. The eldest prince is in a dying counterattack and is in a situation where he can burst into flames at any time.
Countless pairs of eyes were staring at Lu Ziyan's 'former in-laws'.
If the letter falls into the hands of others, the consequences will be disastrous.
Xie Wan Ning was not an ignorant person, so she gave up the idea of replying.
I just hope that everything goes well, Lu Ziyan ascends the throne as soon as possible, and everything is fine with the Xie family.
Wanwan gave birth to a son because there was a throne to inherit in the family.
Chen Xier also gave birth to a son because she didn't want people to misunderstand whether the two children had any emotional connection.
There is no preference for boys over girls.
