If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

The setting sun melts gold, and the dusk clouds merge together.

Shen Suian accompanied Jiang in Songfengyuan.

After taking the pregnancy-maintaining medicine and sleeping for a few hours, Jiang's complexion finally looked less pale.

She still felt fear and regret.

"It's all my fault for being too careless. You told me to be careful. I never thought that a ten-year-old child could have such a vicious heart."

Children are most easily provoked.

Shen Jianglin now has only one son, Shen Mingyao. Shen Mingyao is the only favored one in the Shen family's eldest wife. If his wife gives birth to a legitimate son, he will not be the only young master.

Someone must have said this in his ear, which is why Shen Mingyao hates the child in his wife's belly so much.

Shen Sui'an said, "Brother Yao has been spoiled. He always thinks his father can only have him as his son."

"If he had more children, he wouldn't dare to be so arrogant."

Jiang's heart moved. Over the years, she had arranged two concubines for Shen Jianglin, but neither of them got pregnant.

They are all young and healthy girls.

Most likely it was Aunt Cheng who was behind this again.

However, since it was about her husband's room, Jiang couldn't say too much in front of Shen Suian.

"I don't know when your wedding will be. I have to get better soon." Jiang was most worried that Shen Sui'an's wedding date was too close and she would not have enough time to arrange it.

"Madam, just take a good rest. You are the most important thing right now." Shen Sui'an said hurriedly.

Jiang lowered her voice and said, "Two years ago, I had someone make a golden nanmu step-out bed for you as a dowry."

Shen Sui'an was slightly startled, "Madam, that is..."

That was what Jiang prepared for her daughter.

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to keep this child now. Sui Sui, I, I can't speak, but I really treat you as my daughter."

"If I give birth to a daughter, I will prepare a dowry for her again."

Jiang said with great wealth: "Don't be polite to me. I don't have anything else, but I have plenty of silver."

Shen Sui'an didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Madam, my biological mother has left me a lot of dowry..."

"I know, I know. That's my sister's love for you. What's mine is mine." Jiang said with a smile.

"Thank you, ma'am." If he continued to refuse, it would seem awkward with Jiang.

In her previous life, she didn't have a very close relationship with Jiang, and she also prepared a generous dowry for herself.

My wife really loves her.

"Oh, by the way, I still have a few properties and shops with my father..." Shen Sui'an hesitated for a moment, "I asked someone to inquire and found out that my father had handed over my mother's shops to Aunt Cheng to manage."

Jiang's face darkened. "You shameless thing, you even want to rob your shop."

"I will ask Aunt Cheng to return the shop to you tomorrow."

Shen Sui'an said softly, "Madam, please don't get upset because of me and my father. I have something I want to ask you for help..."

"You say." Jiang said immediately.

"I know that your wife owns a tea shop. Is the Fangshan tea business doing well recently?" Shen Sui'an asked.

Jiang said, "I don't know who spread the word that Imperial Concubine Yao in the palace liked to drink Fangshan tea, and the whole Shangjing aristocratic family became fond of it."

Concubine Yao did like Fangshan tea in the past.

But my taste has changed this year and I no longer drink Fangshan tea.

It was just that Concubine Yao's sister-in-law had a batch of soaked Fangshan tea on hand that she wanted to get rid of, which led to the spread of such rumors.

"My mother also left me a tea shop. I believe Aunt Cheng would like to make a fortune from Fangshan Tea." Shen Sui'an said with a smile.

"Sui Sui, is there something wrong with this tea?" Jiang asked hurriedly. She had someone buy in several dozen kilograms of it and kept it there.

"We can't accept the Fangshan tea from the Yao family, but tea from other sources is fine. However, I once went to the palace with my grandmother and heard the palace maids mention that Imperial Concubine Yao's favorite tea now is Xueya."

In fact, it was something she observed herself when she entered the palace to meet Concubine Yao in her previous life.

As expected of a merchant family, Jiang immediately understood what Shen Sui'an was going to do.

"Let Aunt Cheng pay the least." There was coldness in Jiang's eyes.

She almost lost her child, so how could she let Cheng and his mother go so easily?

……

……

Spring is not late.

In the cold winter weather, the snow on the streets is getting deeper.

The icicles on the eaves were illuminated by the corner lights, giving them a warm yellow glow.

Drinking wine and watching the snow, the warmth is so cozy that all the fatigue of the whole day is released at this moment.

Song Xiuzhi was counting the bills. There was plenty of charcoal in the store and the restaurant was already full.

"Miss Song, please take the money quickly. What are you standing there in a daze for?" A customer was about to leave and put the change in front of Song Xiuzhi.

"Oh, okay." Song Xiuzhi came back to her senses and took the silver. "Take care, sir."

She just heard the guests talking about how the palace had arranged a marriage between Shen Suian and the eldest son of the Lu family.

Lu Heng doesn't have to marry Shen Sui'an...

Is...is it because of her?

Song Xiuzhi's heart was beating fast. She actually didn't think that Lu Heng would refuse a marriage proposal with a noble lady for her.

But Shen Sui'an seemed to have a deep misunderstanding of them and couldn't even listen to Lu Heng's explanation.

Which woman would not like a noble man like Lu Heng?

From the moment he appeared at the wine stall, she couldn't take her eyes off him.

But she didn't dare to go up and disturb him, for fear that he would not come next time.

How could she not like him? She really liked Lu Heng so much.

I like him so much that even just looking at him from a distance makes me feel satisfied.

"Hey, Miss Song, when Mr. Lu becomes a princess consort in the future, will your Spring Festival still bloom?" Suddenly, someone asked loudly with a laugh.

Song Xiuzhi blinked, obviously not understanding what the other party said.

"I didn't expect Lu Heng to be so lucky. His marriage with the legitimate daughter of the Shen family was intercepted by his illegitimate elder brother, but the emperor married his most beloved princess to him." said another person.

"Yes, that is Princess Guangning."

"The Lu family is really blessed."

"How can the legitimate daughter of the Shen family compare to the princess? I heard that the legitimate daughter of the Shen family lost her mother when she was young, and her father prefers illegitimate children and does not pay attention to her at all."

"..."

After listening for a long time, Song Xiuzhi finally understood what they were talking about.

Although Shen Sui'an doesn't have to marry Lu Heng, Lu Heng has to marry Princess Guangning.

Her face turned pale.

Even though she was just a commoner, she had heard of the name Princess Guangning.

As the most beloved daughter of the Emperor and Concubine Yao, Princess Guangning can be said to be a lawless, unruly and extremely willful person.

How could such a person allow her husband to have any ambiguity with other women?

Song Xiuzhi's hands were shaking with fear.

She was not afraid that Shen Suian would know of her existence, but she was afraid that Princess Guangning would kill her.

The anticipation and beauty that were just lingering in my heart disappeared in an instant.

Song Xiuzhi spoke in a hoarse voice: "Please don't misunderstand me. The Second Young Master Lu and I are innocent and there is absolutely no private relationship between us."

"Don't talk nonsense, or the princess will misunderstand me."
