I'm reborn, only a fool would spoil you

After Shen Yan followed Gao Yan back to Qiushuangyuan, Gao Yan immediately urged Shen Yan to take a hot bath.

He smiled and said, "Yan'er, let's go and try out the mandarin duck wooden barrel we bought today. Let's see if it works well."

A newly bought mandarin duck wooden barrel?

newly bought?

Yes.

In fact, Gao Yan had no shortage of mandarin duck wooden barrels in his yard, but he and Fu Yuyao had used them all in their mandarin duck bathing, regardless of size.

Fu Yuyao is a jinx. Not only would Shen Yan feel disgusted by the things she has used, but Gao Yan himself would feel disgusted too!

Therefore, Gao Yan would never give it to his newlywed wife!

So today, I specially brought Shen Yan out, and we picked out an extra-large round bathtub together. It’s really extra-large, so even if a couple does something in it... it’s no problem.

Gao Yan glanced at Shen Yan with ambiguous eyes.

Shen Yan blushed instantly, turned her head away, and said shyly: "Okay, Master, I'll listen to you. But I have to go back to my room first...get ready."

"What can I prepare for a bath?"

Gao Yan had just asked when he suddenly remembered that Shen Yan would personally choose her bellyband and pajamas before taking a bath every time, just so that she could show her most charming side in front of him after taking a bath.

Thinking of this, Gao Yan smiled and nodded: "Go ahead, I will go to the bathroom to wait for you. But don't keep me waiting too long."

After Gao Yan finished speaking, he looked at his wife deeply, then turned around and went to the bathroom with great joy.

As for Shen Yan, she looked very shy.

However, the moment Shen Yan turned around and stepped into the bedroom, the shame on her face disappeared instantly.

She looked around and saw that there was no one else except her and Qiuxiang, the maid who came with her as a dowry. Shen Yan quickly closed the door, then took Qiuxiang behind the screen and whispered:

"Qiu Xiang, something happened. I, I... seem to be pregnant."

Just as he finished speaking, he covered his mouth and retched in pain.

Qiuxiang: ???

After being stunned for a moment, he quickly reacted to what his wife was saying.

As a personal maid, she suddenly realized that a disaster was about to happen!

Her face turned pale and she said, "Madam, no, it can't be possible. Didn't the eldest lady find you contraceptive soup that night? It was the medicine I made for you myself."

Shen Yan finally finished retching, still stroking her chest in pain, and said, "The contraceptive soup is not 100% effective. Maybe the thing in my stomach is very stubborn and I haven't aborted it yet?"

"Then, what should we do?" Qiuxiang was confused.

She knew very well that if the Crown Prince Gao Yan and the Duchess's wife Lin found out that her wife was pregnant before marriage, the consequences would be absolutely disastrous.

As a personal maid, her ending must have been extremely miserable!

Fortunately, Shen Yan was relatively rational and ordered immediately: "Qiuxiang, pack your bags later. We will go back to my parents' home early tomorrow morning. After the abortion, we will rest for a few days and then come back."

Qiuxiang nodded immediately: "I obey your command."

Just as Qiuxiang was about to leave, Shen Yan suddenly called her again, but said nothing. Instead, she turned around and took out a pair of shorts from the closet, and then took out a needle from the sewing basket.

Just when Qiuxiang was puzzled, Shen Yan picked up her finger and pricked it with a silver needle.

"Ah." Qiuxiang screamed in pain.

Shen Yan quickly said "hush" to signal her not to make any sound. Then, she squeezed a few drops of blood from Qiuxiang's fingers and wiped them on her shorts.

Only when her shorts were covered in blood did she let Qiuxiang go.

In the bathroom, Gao Yan was the first to sit in the mandarin duck wooden barrel. In the rising white mist, he waited for his wife to come with great anticipation.

Waiting for the passionate moment.

Just by fantasizing about it, his body reacted suddenly. A fire rose in his lower abdomen, making him want to lock Shen Yan in his arms and take her tightly.

And so he waited and waited.

Wait and wait.

Finally, there was the sound of light footsteps outside the door, and he knew it was his Shen Yan.

"Yan'er!"

Gao Yan called her excitedly, and at the same time, grabbed two handfuls of red rose petals from the bamboo basket outside the bathtub. As soon as Shen Yan stepped into the bathroom, he scattered them all over her.

The red petals fluttered down, like a rain of red roses.

Just to create a little romantic atmosphere for my wife and make her feel that her married life will be sweet.

Unexpectedly, after the red rose rain fell, Gao Yan saw Shen Yan holding... a pair of bloody shorts.

Gao Yan: ???

No way, are you having your period?

Gao Yan's eyes suddenly... lost their luster.

Seeing him so disappointed, Shen Yan felt very guilty. If she wasn't pregnant, she would have tried her best to satisfy Gao Yan tonight.

Any way is fine.

Unfortunately, she was destined to watch Gao Yan lose himself.

"Brother Yan, if my period was more regular, it should have come a long time ago. It has been delayed for half a month."

Shen Yan placed the bloody shorts in the copper basin on the wooden shelf, walked to the bathtub with a flattering look on her face, held Gao Yan's face, and said coquettishly:

"Brother Yan, I will definitely serve you well in a few days."

Gao Yan felt disappointed because he had expected too much. It is true that the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

Now he gradually came to his senses and his rationality returned.

He immediately held his wife's hand and smiled considerately, "It's okay, it's your period. Only when it comes does it mean that you are healthy."

Hearing this, Shen Yan, who had something to hide, suddenly started beating faster!

"Bang, bang, bang" jumping!

God knows, at this moment, how much Shen Yan hoped that the bloodstains on her pants were real, and how much she hoped that she was really having her period!

Seeing that his wife had a strange look on her face, Gao Yan thought that she was worried that he was still unhappy, so he quickly said a few more words to comfort her, and every word he said was filled with love for Shen Yan.

"It's really okay, Yan'er. We still have a long life together. I'll need you in a few days. I'm not in a hurry. Just take a rest and take care of yourself these days."

After hearing these words, Shen Yan felt indescribably warm in her heart, and immediately lowered her head and kissed Gao Yan's red lips.

There was a long period of passionate lips and tongues.

About a quarter of an hour later, Shen Yan shyly let go.

"Husband, I will serve you in a different way." After saying this shyly, Shen Yan picked up the towel and wiped Gao Yan's body again and again.

"Are you tired? Yan'er, why don't you go back to your room and rest first, I'll do it myself." Gao Yan was truly considerate of his wife.

After hearing this, Shen Yan felt more guilty. Of course, at the same time, she also felt sweeter.

She wasn't really having her period, so she naturally had plenty of energy. She smiled and shook her head, insisting on cleaning every part of her husband.

After helping her husband put on his shirt and pants, Shen Yan asked tentatively:

"My dear, my aunt (her biological mother) just sent a letter home, saying that she is not feeling well. I...I want to go back to my parents' home to take care of her for a few days. Is that okay?"

Gao Yan did not stop him. He just thought about it for a while and then said with a smile, "Okay."

Shen Yan breathed a sigh of relief as things went so smoothly.

At this time, Gao Yan smiled and said, "After I get off duty tomorrow, I will go to your mother's house to visit your aunt."

Shen Yan: ...

She wanted to refuse, but she felt it would seem weird to "refuse her son-in-law to come visit her sick mother", so she finally agreed with a fake smile on her face.

I thought, I can just let my aunt pretend to be sick, it’s no big deal.

~

Fu Yuzheng soon got the news that Shen Yan was going back to her parents' home.

"My aunt is sick? She's going back to her parents' home to take care of her? This is fake, but she's really going back to her parents' home to have an abortion, right?"

"If she really goes back to her parents' home, wouldn't tomorrow's family dinner be in vain?"

When she got the news, Gao Ni had already fallen asleep with her in his arms. Afraid of waking Gao Ni up, Fu Yuzheng muttered a few words in her heart, then waved her hand and asked Nong Yue to leave.

But Fu Yuzheng couldn't fall asleep anymore.

After meditating for a while with his eyes open, he soon came up with a solution.

She immediately climbed out of bed on tiptoe, walked out of the room, and whispered to Nong Yue who was keeping watch outside:

"Shen Yan has been married for just over a month, and she has to go back to her parents' home to take care of her aunt. Please have someone pass this news to her mother-in-law later."

After hearing this, Nong Yue immediately put on her clothes and went out to do her work.

Two quarters of an hour later, Lady Lin, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, who was in the upper room, learned the news.

Unfortunately, the Duke of Zhenguo did not stay in Lin's room tonight, but went to sleep with his charming teenage concubine. Lin was sitting in front of the dressing mirror and was so angry that she threw a wooden comb.

I suddenly learned that Shen Yan had been married for just over a month and she had to go back to her parents' home to take care of her illness for ten days!

Lin became more and more angry!

"Bah, a lowly concubine is qualified to attend to the sick wife of the Crown Prince of our Zhenguo Mansion? It's not her stepmother who is sick, why should she go?"

After Lin's roar as if to vent her anger, she was still not satisfied, so she immediately brought Nanny Hua and several other old maids, and the group came to Gao Yan's Qiu Shuang Courtyard in a mighty manner.

"Where is your prince's wife?" Nanny Hua, Lin's trusted confidant, asked rudely to the little maid who came to greet her.

The little maid hurriedly said, "The wife and the master have gone to bed."

"Even if you have rested, you have to get up!" Lin walked into the main room angrily, sat down on the main seat, and said fiercely.

How could the little maid dare to offend the mistress of the house, so she immediately went to Gao Yan and Shen Yan's bedroom to inform them that the mistress had arrived.

Shen Yan was woken up from her sleep. She was originally dizzy, but when she heard that her mother-in-law was coming, her sleepiness disappeared instantly! She quickly woke Gao Yan up, and the couple walked side by side to the main hall to pay their respects to Lin.

"Mother, why are you here so late?" Gao Yan spoke first.

Lin slammed the table and said angrily, "If you don't come, your wife will have to run back to her parents' home tomorrow to serve that lowly concubine!"

"How can there be such a rule in the world? A married girl actually returns to her parents' home to take care of her aunt when she is sick. This is really ridiculous!"

According to the customs of the Great Zhou Kingdom, for a married girl, only her biological mother is considered her mother, and the aunt who gave birth to her is just half a servant.

Naturally, there is no such thing as “attending to the sick”.

When Shen Yan heard this, her face turned pale.

She knew that her plan to go back to her parents' home for an abortion... was ruined.

Sure enough, although Gao Yan started fighting with Lin again and argued for his wife, his argument seemed particularly ridiculous in the face of etiquette and law.

Naturally, you can't win at all!

In the end, as Fu Yuzheng had expected, once Lin took action, the excuse of "returning to her parents' home to take care of the illness" was completely ruined.
