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

Princess Yongning was the first princess to marry a foreign prince in decades of the Yong Dynasty. Although the preparations were hasty, the emperor was reluctant to treat his daughter badly.

In addition to the generous dowry, there were also many palace servants to serve her.

The marriage procession set out from Shangjing City in a grand manner.

Shen Sui'an stood outside the city gate, watching Lu Yuan's figure gradually disappear into the distance.

This was the first time she had to be separated from Lu Yuan for such a long time after getting married, and she felt a little disappointed for a moment.

"I have written to my eldest brother, and he will take care of Lu Yuan." Ruan put her arm around Shen Sui'an's shoulders and comforted him.

"If you have any problem, send someone to find me and my uncle."

"Okay." Shen Sui'an smiled.

They didn't return to the city until the marriage team could no longer be seen.

Jiang had already sent someone to Qilin Lane, "Madam instructed us to only pack up the things that my aunt usually uses. Everything else is ready at home, so there is no need to move it around."

"Your stepmother treats you better than your biological mother." Ruan said with a smile, "It just so happens that I have nothing to do today, so I'll go to the Shen family with you."

Ruan and Jiang hit it off immediately after they met. They now frequently visited each other and gradually became close friends.

"I want to go too." Lu Yaoyao, who was chewing pine nut candy on the side, heard this and immediately spoke in a baby voice.

"Go away, go away. How can you leave our Yaoyao behind?" Shen Suian smiled and rubbed Lu Yaoyao's face.

"Don't eat too much sugar. You just lost a tooth."

Lu Yaoyao held the pine nut candy in one hand and covered her mouth with the other, mumbling, "Mom said it will grow out soon, so I can talk without leaking anything."

Shen Suian was so amused that he kept laughing.

When she was a child, she was so scared that she cried when her teeth fell out. It took her grandmother a long time to comfort her before she believed that teeth would grow back.

Shen Sui'an went directly to the Shen family. She brought four maids with her, and the others stayed in Qilin Lane, still living in the courtyard where she lived before she got married.

Jiang was fighting against her own son. The little guy had grown up now and was very handsome. Everyone in the family liked him.

The old man would often have people bring him to show his admiration.

"Brother Cheng, look who's here." Jiang held Shen Mingcheng in her arms and asked him to look at Shen Sui'an.

Shen Mingcheng's pair of jade-like black eyes only saw the hairpin in Shen Suian's hair. He chuckled and reached out to grab it.

Caught by Jiang, "I don't know what's wrong with me lately, I just like to grab other people's hairpins, I don't dare to wear them anymore."

Ruan smiled and said, "Children all like beautiful things. Yaoyao was like this when she was little."

"No, I like it now too." Lu Yaoyao said.

"Mother, let me hug you." Shen Sui'an took off all the gold hairpins on her head that might hurt Shen Mingcheng, and took out the gold bracelet and gave it to her brother to hold in his hand.

Cheng Ge'er was not shy at all. He smiled happily when Shen Suian held him in his arms and was about to put the golden bracelet into his mouth.

"You can't put this in your mouth." Shen Suian quickly stopped him.

Jiang took the bracelet from his hand and stuffed a rice stick into his mouth. "You've been teething lately, so you put anything you get into your mouth."

"Brother, do you want some pine nut candy?" Lu Yaoyao blinked, holding the pine nut candy in her hand.

"No, your brother is still too young. He can eat pine nut candy only when he is as tall as you." Shen Suian said with a smile.

Lu Yaoyao threw herself into Ruan's arms and whispered, "Mom, my brother is so cute. Yaoyao also wants a brother. Can you give birth to one for me tonight?"

“……” Ruan’s face suddenly turned red.

She didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "It's not like you want a brother and you can give birth to one right away."

"Can't it be done all at once? Then do it all night, or two or three days." Lu Yaoyao held Ruan's hand, "Please, mother, I want a brother too."

Ruan was extremely ashamed.

"Yaoyao, your mother will give birth to a younger brother for you soon, but you have to wait a little longer." Jiang covered her mouth with her hands and laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her back.

"How can there be such a cute little girl?"

Shen Sui'an couldn't help laughing out loud.

Lu Yaoyao was confused and had no idea what the adults were laughing at.

She was clearly asking her mother very seriously to give her a younger brother.

"Ahem." Ruan glared at Jiang helplessly, "What are you talking about in front of the child, sister?"

"It will just be a matter of a few months." Jiang said with a smile.

Ruan was found to be pregnant not long ago, and Yaoyao might really have a younger brother in a few months.

The two adults were talking and laughing, but their eyes couldn't help but glance at Shen Sui'an.

They all knew that it would be difficult for Lu Yuan to have children, so they did not dare to urge Shen Sui'an to have one.

"Mother, Doctor Zhou cured my husband. He thought that I was too young and we could have children later." Shen Sui'an knew their concerns.

Just say it openly.

Jiang was delighted when she heard this, "My son-in-law is fine? Oh, God bless me, I hope he can have a baby, I hope he can have a baby."

"That's great. I was thinking..." Ruan sighed, "Now I don't have to think so much."

I was also thinking about which branch of the family to adopt a child to raise under Shen Sui'an's wing.

"After the New Year, you will be eighteen, which is the most suitable age." Jiang said with a smile.

"The old man even prepared dozens of names."

"..." Shen Suian blushed.

Lu Yaoyao looked at this and then at that.

She couldn't understand a single word.

Adult speech is too complicated.

She should just eat rice sticks with her brother.

"Mother, my biological mother's death anniversary is in a few days. I want to go to Huguo Temple to perform a ritual for her." Shen Sui'an said.

Jiang nodded and said, "That's what I should do. I'll have someone prepare it and I'll go with you then."

"Lu Yuan should have accompanied you." Ruan said. What a coincidence that Lu Yuan went out today.

"Husband and wife are one body. I will sincerely perform a ritual for my mother, and then I can just say a few good words for Lu Yuan." Shen Sui'an said with a smile.

Jiang: "Yes, they are all the same."

Ruan thought to herself that although Lu Yuan was not loved by his biological father, God gave him an excellent wife, which was a compensation for him.

"Oh, by the way, I heard an interesting thing recently." Jiang lowered her voice.

Glancing sideways, I saw Lu Yaoyao also looking curious, while Cheng Ge'er was sleeping soundly with drooling.

"Let the wet nurse carry Cheng'er to bed." Jiang instructed the maid.

Lu Yaoyao rubbed her eyes and was carried downstairs by the maid to sleep.

Seeing that there were no children present, Jiang whispered, "I heard that Princess Guangning is looking for a concubine who looks like her former husband."

Shen Sui'an was stunned when she heard this. She had been busy with Lu Yuan's going out recently and had not paid attention to what was happening outside.

She hasn't seen him since Guangning came back to the capital.

I heard that she also raised Lu Heng's daughter in the princess's mansion.

Does Guangning really love Lu Heng so deeply?
