As soon as he said this, Zhao Ziyan knew his intention immediately.
She pursed her lips and said coldly.
"If you let me give birth to the child, how will you give him an identity?"
"The child can...can be said to be born to Jiang Lai. As long as I persuade her, she will treat the child as her own. When my career is stable, I will marry you!"
"Haha... What a joke, you want my child to call someone else's mother? Chu Yunxuan, are you here to humiliate me on purpose?"
Chu Yunxuan frowned and sounded impatient.
"Then what do you want? I want to make you my wife, but you don't want to, and you don't want to send the child to the princess temporarily. I just want an heir, and I just want you to have one.
What do you want me to do now? "
Chu Yunxuan only felt that he had no choice but to retreat.
Zhao Ziyan still had a sullen face and refused to speak.
Because she didn't know what to say now.
She wanted Chu Yunxuan to sit on the throne, but she didn't want to give birth to a child for him without any name or status like she did now, and she didn't want her child to take another woman as his mother.
There were all kinds of entanglements, but she didn't want to give in even a step.
Chu Yunxuan couldn't hold his breath and asked hoarsely.
"If you love me, why do you care about this! I have promised you that you will be the only woman in this life. I have sacrificed so much for you, why are you not willing to sacrifice at all?
Ziyan, do you have me in your heart? "
Zhao Ziyan's eyes turned red.
She knew that Chu Yunxuan was in trouble, but she was not a feudal and decadent ancient person. Being able to tolerate him marrying another woman was already the biggest concession. Now it seemed that she had to give birth to his child in obscurity!
Has this man ever thought about her current situation?
Chu Yunxuan couldn't figure out what else Zhao Ziyan was dissatisfied with.
In the end, the two broke up on bad terms.
In fact, happiness will not disappear, it will just move here.
Listening to Little Pudding's vivid retelling, Jiang Lai habitually grabbed a handful of melon seeds and listened to the play with great interest.
"Is this a collision between ancient feudal thought and modern open thought?"
"This is a collision between a PUA man and a selfish woman."
Both of them are focused on their own interests, so it's not unusual for them to get into trouble like this.
This is typical, we can share the hardships but not the joys.
Because there are so many things that I want to get, and I am about to get them, no, internal conflicts are beginning to appear.
"It's strange to say that Zhao Ziyan is willing to let Chu Yunxuan get a wife, so why isn't she willing to give him a child?"
"It's against her interests."
Chu Yunxuan married other women, and those women were the unlucky ones.
But if she wants to give birth to a child, she will be the unlucky one.
Not everyone can bear the pain of being pregnant for ten months. As a doctor, Zhao Ziyan understands better than anyone that in this ancient time, when a woman gave birth to a child, she was almost half-stepped into the gate of hell.
Not to mention that the child born has to be called someone else's mother.
Although the vows made by each other usually sound nice, Zhao Ziyan is not stupid.
"Then there's no other way. She doesn't want to do this or that. It all depends on how high Chu Yunxuan's basic qualities are as a male protagonist."
Tall or not, Little Pudding looked at it again and couldn't help but whistle.
"Where do you think Chu Yunxuan went?"
"Well, Madam, please stay in a separate courtyard."
"The maid next to Chun Niang has been guarding Chu Yunxuan's only way. According to what you said, Chu Yunxuan followed."
Jiang Lai nodded slowly.
"I know, I know, what's so strange about it?"
"He is the male protagonist!"
"Then what? It depends on whether he is a career-minded hero or a love-minded hero. Which one do you think Chu Yunxuan is?"
Little Pudding stopped talking.
Because what Jiang said makes sense.
Zhao Ziyan is realistic, Chu Yunxuan is more realistic.
Both of them have selfish motives, but they can suppress them, but after Jiang Lai's provocation, it was enough.
"Chu Yunxuan won't fall so quickly, right?"
"Will not."
Jiang Lai turned over in relief and continued to bask in the sun on the other side.
"Take your time. Anyway, these days are really boring. There is such a good show, so you have to watch it slowly."
Jiang Lai was surprisingly lazy, but he kept losing weight.
It just so happened that now she had an impeccable reason to lose weight, that is, Chu Yunxuan no longer loved her, and directly stripped her of the right to control the middle feeder and gave it to Chun Niang, and no longer stayed in her yard at night. .
Rumors spread throughout the mansion that Jiang Lai had fallen out of favor, but the people in the kitchen consistently prepared sumptuous meals for Jiang Lai.
It's even better than before, but it's more sweet, and the amount of pastries is much larger than before.
Even supper will be delivered at night.
That night, Aunt Zhao came over with a lunch box as usual, brought out the hot meals and pastries with a smile on her face, and greeted Jiang Lai.
"Princess, I made your favorite pearl meatball soup and red date cake. You must be hungry at this late hour. Eat something before going to bed."
Jiang Lai walked out in a loose skirt and saw a table full of food.
"Aunt Zhao, wouldn't it be bad to eat so much at night?"
"How could it be possible? How many people nowadays don't even have enough to eat, but you, the Crown Princess, have a good meal. I can't even envy you before it's too late!"
Seeing the light-eyed look of the old lady in front of him, Jiang Lai yawned with a tired look on his face.
"I have a bad appetite today. Since you are envious, I will reward you with these things.
Oh, there are so many people out there who don’t have enough to eat, so don’t waste it. Eat everything before leaving. "
Jiang Lai's tone was calm and her expression was very natural. For a moment, Aunt Zhao couldn't figure out what she meant.
"Here, how dare this old slave? If the princess has no appetite, she should eat less. The old slave will take the rest and share it with the servants."
"Need not."
Jiang Lai waved his hand, then sat down directly and stared at Aunt Zhao's face.
"You have been working in the Taishi Mansion since you were young, and now you have accompanied me to the Prince's Mansion. You are the one I trust the most in everyone in the manor. Now that I have something good, of course I have to follow you.
Xiao He, bring chopsticks to Aunt Zhao.
By the way, I haven’t finished the wine I brought last night, so I’ll give it to you as a reward.
After eating and drinking, you don’t have to worry about others looking bad. You are all your own now, so there is no need to be restrained. "
Having said this, Aunt Zhao can't help but eat.
So he sat down and took small bites with his chopsticks.
"Why are you only eating the food in front? Is it out of reach? Xiaohe, go and help Aunt Zhao prepare the food."
Xiaohe rolled up her sleeves and got on, directly took apart the middle pork knuckle, and then put all the fat and red knuckle skin into Aunt Zhao's bowl.
"Aunt Zhao, eat more, these are all good things."
Aunt Zhao couldn't swallow it after two or three mouthfuls.
"Princess...I really can't eat this."
