She touched her lower abdomen, looked at her older sister Shi Wenya, and gave her a bright smile.
"Sis, don't worry, this is fine too~~~"
"Wenxuan, I just saw Lady Changping. Don't worry, you will definitely be happy."
What Shen Mingzhu didn't know was that, apart from Lord Sun, the other three officials, Wang, Li, and Qian, had all been stripped of their titles by Emperor Jingyuan and exiled to mine gold, based on the amount of bribes they had received.
The North and other regions are still waiting for money to be exchanged for supplies!
Around noon, Shen Mingzhu slowly woke up.
Then Chen's mother arrived carrying a food box.
Guagua, did my cousin Hao's marriage go through?
Host, that absolutely has to work! With your beautiful mother on the case, she's worth two people!]
A fleeting smile crossed Shen Mingzhu's eyes as she looked at her mother with a smile in her eyes.
"Mother, please sit down."
Mother Shen smiled brightly.
"Okay, I came here to tell you some good news."
"Mom, what's the good news?"
Mother Shen said, "The Shi family has already agreed to the marriage. We are just waiting for His Majesty's approval. Once that's done, Hao will be able to return from the North. We can then go directly to present the betrothal gifts, and he can get married on the same day as your second brother."
Shen Mingzhu already knew the answer and was happy for Xie Hao.
Becoming a father at such a young age is a great thing for the Xie family.
Guagua, what do you think of your cousin-in-law?
Host, Shi Wenxuan is proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Originally, she was supposed to give birth to twins, one for each of her two older brothers, Shi Wenfei and Shi Wenjie. Now that she has formed a marriage alliance with the Xie family, she will naturally give the Xie family a pair of great-grandchildren.
Xie Qinghuan was overjoyed to hear this.
The Xie family men had always been stationed in the north, prepared to die on the battlefield. Hearing that Shi Wenxuan was carrying twins meant the continuation of the Xie family's bloodline and new hope.
Guagua, that's great! I'm relieved that things went smoothly!
Shen Mingzhu discussed with the system to avoid anything unexpected to happen to Shi Wenxuan. She would take precautions to avoid risks, such as giving her medication to prevent miscarriage and protecting her.
Safe production is, of course, the best outcome.
Host, don't worry! There's just one thing: if Shi Wenxuan gets married, the Shi family might face the risk of dying out.
Guagua, what are you thinking! Shi Wenxuan is married, and her sister Shi Wenya can have a son-in-law marry into the family. Didn't she say she didn't want to get married? She can have a son-in-law marry into the family. Open your mind. That's the kind of dignity a strong woman should have.
Host, this is indeed one path! Let's see what Dean Shi plans to do. Otherwise, he could force his second son, Shi Wenjie, to have a son; after all, he already has two sons and a daughter.
[Uh-huh. ]
As Shen Mingzhu listened to her heartfelt words, her mother nodded repeatedly.
That's true.
She was determined to bring the Xie family's bloodline home.
Su Huaiyuan listened intently from the next room.
Oh my god, she's carrying twins.
Xie Hao really hit the jackpot by having two children in one pregnancy!
In the afternoon, Shi Wenxuan was bored, so she went to the bookstore with her older brother Shi Wenfei to buy books. As a result, she saw several officials from Hanlin.
Shi Wenfei and Shi Wenxuan greeted them.
The officials were very polite, urging Shi Wenfei to study hard, while their eyes kept glancing at Shi Wenxuan's belly.
This is Xie's future granddaughter-in-law, and she's pregnant with twins!
Master Shen said that the delivery would be safe.
The Shi family has also prospered!
They've managed to get in touch with Master Shen's maternal grandparents!
The officials left quickly...
Shi Wenfei clearly sensed the change in the officials. They had previously been indifferent to him; after all, they were prestigious scholars, and those who performed well were destined for high positions in the cabinet…
Today, he was somewhat flattered.
Of course, this was just a minor incident.
In the afternoon, Shen Mingzhu was in her office, eating cherries and watermelon.
Prince An stayed in the palace a little longer today and even made a special trip to Princess Chaoyang's residence to see Yan Chaoyang.
Seeing that she was indeed slumped in the dilapidated room, he simply shook his head and left.
His niece is beyond saving, but he won't help her either!
He quickly returned to the Hanlin Academy, just in time to find Shen Mingzhu eating fruit and melon.
Hey Guagua, i am bored out of my mind? Come on, give me a few melons to eat.
Host, believe it or not, there's actually some good news!
Great news! Tell me quickly, I love hearing good news!
Host, the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, has agreed to the marriage between Tian Ping'an and Su Jiu Mei! General Tian Xuezhou is currently sending Tian Ping'an out to hunt geese while he and his wife prepare the betrothal gifts for their son at home!
*Splat!*
Crash!!
A tremendous noise came from the next room.
Su Huaiyuan clenched his fists. Why did his father agree to the marriage? What right did Tian Ping'an have to marry his younger sister?
Su Jiumei: Big brother, I really like Brother Ping An.
Su Huaiyuan: No, no, you don't like him!
Tian Ping'an: ...
Tian Xuezhou: I'll give Su Xueshi a fist the size of a clay pot!
Su Huaiyuan: You brute!
Tian Xuezhou: Hmph!!!
Prince An: That's great, another happy event in Shengjing City.
I wonder how my cheap tutor son is doing.
Will Lin Xianghui marry off his granddaughter?
Should he prepare a betrothal gift for his son?
Even his own son doesn't recognize him; he must think money is dirt. He shouldn't be so presumptuous!
After thinking for a moment, he lay down and happily continued eating melon seeds.
Hehe~~~
The Grand Secretary Su Huaiyuan next door must be furious!
That was quite a commotion!
Prince An secretly chuckled to himself in his room...
Guagua, this is good news! General Tian's family also has good news!
Yes, host, but Prime Minister Lin doesn't agree to marry his granddaughter to Master Mo!
[Ah~ why?]
At that moment, Prince An sat up with a jolt.
Why?
No matter what, Master Mo was still his son.
Although for now he is just a tutor who teaches people how to play chess, he is of royal bloodline.
Host, you know that Master Mo's family lives in a humble abode with three rooms, housing his grandmother, adoptive parents, younger brother and sister, and his second uncle's family. Where do you expect Miss Lin to stay? Master Mo doesn't even have a room of her own!
Shen Mingzhu: ...
Guagua, is that Master Mo still so principled that he doesn't acknowledge Prince An?
Perhaps he has too much pride.
However, host, Miss Lin, has already hinted to Master Mo to go and acknowledge his relatives! Unfortunately, Master Mo still hasn't gone to Prince An's residence.
Prince An: ...Hmph!
If he doesn't come to acknowledge me, I won't acknowledge him either!
The arrogant Prince An is now online.
By the way, Guagua, what has Shen Jiaojiao been up to lately?
Host, she's currently trying to conceive with the second prince! Shen Jiaojiao wants to use her child to rise in status and become the principal wife.
Guagua, the effects of those two stinky pills are still there! Those two are amazing!!!
Host, never underestimate the ambition of anyone who wants to improve!
