It's almost time to wear it. The soft beauty relies on the child-bearing system to favor her

Su Wanti's guess was correct. The Marquis' Mansion did not turn them away, but instead welcomed them in with great respect.

The bridal chamber where she was to be married had already been occupied by Su Ruohua in a coquettish and foolish manner. The servants did not know which courtyard to let her live in, so they stopped at the entrance of the backyard, hesitating to move forward.

But Su Wanti didn't care about just a yard. Besides, she wouldn't be living there for long, so there was no need to waste her time on it.

The original owner had lived here for several years in her previous life and was very familiar with the backyard of the marquis's mansion. She remembered that there was a courtyard in the backyard called Youxiang Courtyard. The courtyard was well built, but it was far away from the main courtyard and in a remote location, so few people lived there.

Isn't this a perfect place for me to live?

"You don't have to be embarrassed. I remember that no one lives in Youxiangyuan. I'll live there."

After the young lady spoke, the servant did not hesitate and took the three of them, master and servant, directly to Youxiang Courtyard.

Youxiangyuan is not big and is located in a remote area. There is also a plum forest around it, which makes the courtyard even more quiet and secluded.

The three of them cleaned up the yard in a short while, and the servants of the marquis's mansion brought tea sets, bedding and other daily necessities. It was all available and very thoughtful and considerate.

Su Yue was very surprised. More than ten days ago, when they were sent out of the Marquis' Mansion, no one saw them off. This showed how much the people in the Marquis' Mansion disliked the three of them, the master and the servant.

What happened today? Not only did he politely invite the three of them into his house, he also took good care of them.

"Miss, the people in this mansion seem to have changed their personalities—"

Su Wanti leaned on the soft couch to rest and said casually, "Maybe my brother won the battle and received the emperor's reward. The people in the Marquis' Mansion dare not neglect us for the sake of my mother's family."

She was right. This was indeed one of the reasons why the Marquis' Mansion treated her well. In her previous life, the original owner's brother had just repelled another invasion by the barbarians in the north and kept the border safe. The emperor rewarded the Su family with a lot of gold, silver, cloth, fields and manors.

The Marquis' Mansion married the original owner in order to form a community of interests with the Su family. Now the elder brother of the Su family is very powerful and highly appreciated by the emperor. They can't control her, so naturally they dare not treat her harshly as in the previous life. They can only pamper her first.

Su Wanti knew in her heart that there was actually another reason, which was that Xiao Huaihe would bring Su Ruohua to the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet in a few days, and he would also ask for a title of imperial decree for Su Ruohua.

But Su Ruohua was just a concubine. It was impossible for Xiao Huaihe to leave his legally married wife and only bring his concubine to the banquet. Otherwise, he would be criticized by the censors for being unruly and favoring his concubine over his wife.

Xiao Huaihe is one of the candidates to be adopted as the crown prince, and he certainly doesn't want to be morally compromised.

He could only bring his wife and concubine to the banquet, and he had to make his wife and concubine act like they were getting along well and acting like sisters, to show that he was a good otaku and that his harem was harmonious.

Therefore, even if she did not return to the Marquis' Mansion today, the Marquis' Mansion would send someone to pick her up in a few days.

Everything is for acting, so she will accompany them to put on a good show.

Su Wanti had been busy all day, but she was not tired and was still in high spirits. In a few days, she would meet the emperor for the second time at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet. To be honest, she was still looking forward to it.

----

Marquis's Mansion, study in the front yard.

"I didn't expect that she would come back on her own. That's good, so I don't have to send someone to pick her up." Xiao Huaihe said.

The Marquis sat behind his desk, tapping the table rhythmically with his fingers, his eyes deep.

After a moment, he said, "I asked the court doctor to check on her. She has recovered. It seems that she didn't have tuberculosis, but was angry and hurt her body. She will be fine after a few days of rest."

He looked at his son and said in a deep voice, "Since she is back and is fine, you can stay in her room tonight. Let's see who will get pregnant first with the two daughters of the Su family. It would be best if both of them get pregnant at the same time. You have to work harder!"

He walked over and patted his son's shoulder, but Xiao Huaihe avoided his gaze and lowered his head.

The Marquis sensed something was wrong and curled his lips, "Why do you look like this? Are you hiding something from me? You must have a child as soon as possible. This matter is of great importance. It concerns the plan of adopting the heir to the throne. You must tell me everything and do not hide anything."

Xiao Huaihe blushed and hesitated to speak.

He was too embarrassed to say it, and he didn't know how to tell his father about it.

For some reason, he couldn't do it after the wedding night.

He was obviously very capable before. When he was making love with Ruohua, he could make Ruohua so infatuated and talk nonsense. But after the wedding night, he could no longer stand up.

No matter how hard Su Ruohua tried, he was still timid and weak.

"Father, I..." His face looked very ugly, and he spoke with difficulty, "I can't do it anymore..."

The Marquis frowned, "No, what's wrong? Could it be?"

They were all men, and looking at his son's appearance, he quickly understood.

Humph, useless thing! The Marquis thought.

However, he couldn't hit his son now, so he could only find a way.

The Marquis had a gloomy face and paced around the study with his hands behind his back. After pacing for several times, he finally came up with a solution.

"Son, you know that your father is doing this for your own good with all his heart," the Marquis said with a loving look on his face.

Xiao Huaihe nodded. He knew very well that his father had always been planning for his future.

The Marquis sighed and said, "Prince Qi just had a little son this month, and Prince Jing's son is also one month old. Marquis Yan's daughter-in-law is amazing. She gave him a pair of grandchildren in one go, but you... Alas!"

He sighed heavily. Xiao Huaihe felt ashamed and felt that he was holding back and was sorry for his father's careful planning.

The Marquis pinched his shoulder and said, "Son, since it has happened, your father will do everything he can to solve it for you. Don't worry, I will send someone to find a famous doctor tomorrow, and he will definitely cure your illness."

"The matter of heirs..." The Marquis stroked his chin and said, "It's not that father wants to take advantage of someone's misfortune, but this is related to the plan of adopting an heir to the throne, and we can't lose the opportunity."

Xiao Huaihe didn't understand, he looked up into the Marquis's deep eyes, "What does father mean?"

The Marquis coughed lightly and said, "Let me, your father, take care of the matter of the heir! After all, they are all the blood of our Xiao family!"

Xiao Huaihe's eyes widened. He never thought his father would have such thoughts. He retorted in a lost voice, "Father, no!"

The Marquis glared and blew his beard, saying, "Those who do great things don't care about small details. You have to prove to the royal family that you are fertile. Otherwise, if people know that you are not fertile, how can they choose you to be adopted by the emperor? Moreover, now you have only married the daughter of the Su family. If you don't give birth to a child with the blood of the Su family, how can the Su family support you?"

Xiao Huaihe was stunned and remained silent.

The Marquis advised again: "Think about it, when you become the emperor in the future, what kind of women will you not have? You can have whatever you want in the three palaces and six courtyards. These two in front of you will not be a big deal by then!"

Xiao Huaihe was persuaded and nodded silently.

The Marquis was satisfied, he stroked his beard and his face was flushed.

He had long been eyeing that little vixen Su Ruhua, who was always wandering around the mansion all day long. If his son had not married her, he would have taken this little vixen in and indulged himself in revelry every night.

Late at night, the father and son walked out of the study one after another.

Xiao Huaihe returned to the yard first, and had a night drink with Su Ruhua, getting her drunk. Then he dismissed his attendants, blew out the lights, and went out through the back door.

The Marquis was waiting at the back door. After Xiao Huaihe went out, he sneaked into Su Ruohua's inner room, hugged the person on the bed and started to bite her randomly.

"Hmm." Su Ruohua was drunk and confused. In the dark, she thought the person hugging her was Xiao Huaihe, so she agreed.

"My husband's illness has been cured? He was so great today--" She felt the change in him and was delighted. She used her hands and feet to wrap herself around him like an octopus.
