Chapter 1336 Was it his own request? He wanted multiple births?
More than an hour later, as the sky gradually began to lighten, Yang Qianxun got up and walked to the door, where Chunri was already waiting with hot water.
Yang Qianxun took it from his hand and whispered, "The lady is a little tired. Please have the gentlemen come over after noon."
"Yes, my lord."
Yang Qianxun gently wiped Su Yueyao's body with hot water. Looking at the bruises on her body, he frowned and felt a pang of heartache. He immediately got up and took out a bottle of ointment from the drawer.
As he applied the ointment, he thought to himself that Wenren Qichi had indeed gone too far.
Su Yueyao did indeed sleep until the afternoon. When she woke up, she opened her eyes, stretched her arms, and heard Lu Yuanyi's gentle voice.
"My lady, you're awake? Is anything bothering you?"
Su Yueyao turned to look at Lu Yuanyi sitting next to her. There was a book on the table, indicating that he had been there for quite a while.
"I'm feeling fine, quite comfortable. When did Yuan Yi arrive?"
Lu Yuanyi smiled and walked to the bedside, helping Su Yueyao sit up against him and replying, "I've been here for over an hour now."
"Our lord has been away from the manor for two days, and a lot of things have piled up. Young Master Wenren will send over his dowry in a couple of days; he has a lot to do!"
"My lady has been resting for the past two days, and she will soon begin attending court."
"Well, those days of relaxing and lounging around are over," Su Yueyao sighed.
Lu Yuanyi smiled as he looked at Su Yueyao's sigh and reached out to touch her hair: "My lady, you were going to petition for the abolition of the law that exiled men who were twenty-two and unmarried. Once this matter is settled, you can consider having children, and then you can rest again."
“That’s true. How about we wait until Wenren Qichi comes in before we consider it? We can bring Chengyan and Gongyang along. We originally wanted to include Yan Xi this time, but with Wenren and Yan Xi joining, there will be four people. I’m afraid their reaction might be too strong.”
"The key issue is that Yan Xi's situation is too special. What if she has another child and still doesn't have a Gu King? Yan Xi would probably be devastated."
Su Yueyao laughed when she imagined Huan Yanxi's breakdown at that time.
“My lady, you can’t think like that. If you do, I won’t live anymore,” Huan Yanxi said as he carried a meal into the room.
Su Yueyao turned to Huan Yanxi and said with a smile, "Yanxi, this isn't something I can decide. Why don't you talk to the Gu King yourself? Will you stay with me tonight?"
Before Huan Yanxi could speak, a voice came from behind him: "My lady, it's my turn to serve you tonight! I didn't get a turn last time, but the lord just sent someone to say that it's my turn tonight."
Gongyang Ruoyu emerged from behind Huan Yanxi with a smile.
Upon hearing what Gongyang Ruoyu said, Huan Yanxi placed the meal on the table and almost subconsciously thought, "My lady, since the lord has spoken, then let's go with Gongyang."
"In my situation, the Southern Frontier has not yet sent back any information on how to ensure that the Gu King can enter the child's body with 100% certainty."
Looking at Huan Yanxi's face full of resistance, Su Yueyao couldn't help but tease him: "Yanxi, do you really not want another child for both of us?"
“If I were to have more children with other men, it would be considered favoritism, but not with you. You absolutely have to have more, more…”
"My lady, I have no objection to who you want to have children with, or how many you want. If anyone says you're biased, I'll be the first to disagree," Huan Yanxi said angrily.
“My lady, I agree too!” Lu Yuanyi said with a smile.
“I have no objection to my wife. As long as she can give me a child to inherit the Gongyang family, that’s fine. Otherwise, it’s good not to have children. There are so many children in our household that we fathers can’t love them all.”
Su Yueyao laughed when she heard what the three were saying. She thought about the more than twenty children in the manor; there wouldn't be enough to go around even if they each had one...
"I didn't have any more children for you. Besides wanting to have a second child for the Lord, Yan Xi must have the Gu King's child, and you all wanted to make Yun Sheng suffer so that you could have a second child for him."
“Wenren Qichi told the lord that he especially liked children and wanted to have more. The lord told me to fulfill his wish, but I will not have children for the rest of you.”
"My lady, did the lord say that Wenren Qichi likes children?"
"Wenren Qichi likes children?"
"Did he request it himself? He wanted multiple children?"
Lu Yuanyi and the other two spoke almost at the same time.
“Yes! Xingchen was there at the time and told Wenren Qichi that there would be a reaction, but he didn’t take it seriously. So, I thought that since he likes children so much, I would just have another one for him.”
Lu Yuanyi and the other two: "................................................"
At this moment, they felt that their lord and Xingchen were truly... simply... heartless. They had buried them in a pit and tormented them like this, making them suffer even more than Yunsheng had suffered.
“My lady… let’s not talk about the child anymore. Shall we wash up and have our meal first? The food will get cold soon,” Gongyang Ruoyu said.
"Okay! I am a little hungry." Su Yueyao lifted the covers and prepared to get out of bed.
"My lady, did Wenren do this mark on your body? Does it hurt?" Huan Yanxi asked, frowning.
"What?" Su Yueyao looked down and found that her collar was a little loose and there were purplish marks all over her collarbone. Her face immediately became hot.
"It doesn't hurt. It looks scary, but it doesn't actually hurt," Su Yueyao said uncomfortably, tugging at her clothes.
The three of them fell silent again. Xingchen couldn't resist going to the Wen residence after his wife returned, and she hasn't come back yet. Should they take some time to go there too?
“My lady, the lord should have applied some ointment to reduce the swelling. Have the ram apply it again tonight, and the marks will fade in a few days,” Lu Yuanyi said.
Su Yueyao nodded, got up, and went to the side gate to use the restroom.
After washing up and having a meal, Su Yueyao went to the study, intending to paint the scenery she had seen at Xuanming Temple.
In the afternoon, Lu Yuanyi and Gongyang Ruoyu had some things to take care of, so they left. Huan Yanxi quietly accompanied Su Yueyao as she painted.
More than an hour later, Su Yueyao made the last stroke, and a sunset painting appeared on the paper.
"My wife's painting is so beautiful!"
"Yan Xi, would you like to write something?" Su Yueyao asked with a smile as she handed over the paintbrush.
“This painting is so beautiful, I’m almost embarrassed to write anything on it. Why don’t you write something, my lady? I’m curious what you would write about such a beautiful scene,” Huan Yanxi said.
"Should I write it down? Let me think." Su Yueyao picked up the brush and a line of poetry immediately came to mind. She picked up the brush and wrote: "The green hills remain, how many sunsets have passed."
Huan Yanxi watched as Su Yueyao finished writing, read it aloud several times, and said with a smile, "My wife writes so well!"
"Can I take this painting, frame it, and hang it in my room?"
