Here, Lu Songli took Qin Sheng for a walk by the lake at home. Today is a sunny day, the sun is shining, and it’s not very cold.
The two walked together, with a few servants following not too far behind.
Lu Songli spoke to Qin Sheng in a slightly teasing tone, “Why did you dress like this today? I think you look better in crimson. This dark blue straight robe doesn’t suit you well, what were you thinking?”
Qin Sheng: …
A woman’s heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea!
Who mentioned his elder brother last night?
Qin Sheng snorted, “Mind your own business, my mother thinks I look good in this outfit!” He secretly vowed that if he dressed like his elder brother again, he would be a fool!
For some reason, he felt a little happy again, thinking that she didn’t even glance at his elder brother just now. A feeling of joy seemed to crack open in his heart, and sweet water kept bubbling up.
“How about that, didn’t expect it, did you? The Empress Dowager will arrange a marriage for us. Last night, I asked you to marry into the Qin family, but you were unwilling.”
Lu Songli looked at him with a slightly smug smile: …Poor kid.
She really wanted to tell him that this morning, when her father took out the pardon token, she felt that the Empress Dowager would not let it go easily. Compared to his cluelessness about why the Empress Dowager arranged the marriage, she knew much more.
Oh well, she decided not to tease him.
At this moment, Lu Songli felt a sense of sorrow in her heart. They were only sixteen years old, yet they were about to get married, and what’s even more insane is that they were not even of legal age! In other words, both of them were not yet sixteen years old!
Lu Songli had never thought that she would marry at such a young age. In her past life, she was twenty-six and still a single noble.
Since he mentioned their marriage, there were some things she had to bring up, “How do you feel about the fact that I cannot bear children?”
Cough cough Lu Songli suddenly asked this question, catching Qin Sheng off guard and choking on his own saliva.
Lu Songli remained silent, waiting quietly on the side.
After coughing a few times, Qin Sheng finally stopped and faced her serious expression, pursed his lips, and said, “So what? There are countless divine doctors in the world, let’s start looking for one now. I don’t believe we can’t find a doctor who can cure you.”
“Besides, the Qin family has six brothers, I have five older brothers, and now there are six nephews. The matter of carrying on the family line doesn’t depend solely on me, one more or one less doesn’t make a difference. If you really can’t bear children, it’s fine. Giving birth is like stepping into the gates of hell for women. I’m afraid that if you really have a child, both legs will step in during childbirth.” He looked at her small figure with disdain. In the end, he didn’t think having children was a good thing, they were very annoying.
Lu Songli: This guy is great in every way, except for his mouth.
Listen, he dares to criticize her figure? Lu Songli rolled her eyes at him. Although she was a little thin, she still had curves, okay? Just wait, when she has time, she’ll get some medicinal food and nourish herself for a while. She’ll guarantee that she’ll blind his dog eyes by then.
Wait, that’s not right! Lu Songli suddenly remembered something. In the original story, the female lead Zhao Yutan, who had been married to Qin Sheng for many years, had no children. However, after Zhao Yutan married Xie Zhan as his second wife, she quickly gave birth to a pair of twins for him. Based on this deduction, the problem wouldn’t be with Zhao Yutan, so the problem lies with Qin Sheng, right?
Lu Songli didn’t know that in the original story, when Qin Sheng and Zhao Yutan got married, Madam Qin was seriously ill and died soon after. Due to the funeral, they didn’t consummate their marriage. Later, the Qin family was quickly found guilty and exiled, so they didn’t have the opportunity. When they arrived at the border, Qin Sheng and his family felt guilty towards her, thinking that not consummating their marriage would make it easier for her to have a better future later, like remarrying or something. Later, the Qin family rebelled, and Qin Sheng was always the main force in the battles outside. Due to certain reasons, until his death, they were never truly husband and wife.
Lu Songli’s gaze subtly scanned him from head to toe, pausing at his waist and abdomen. Could it be that this guy is… incapable?
Qin Sheng, with his sharp senses, noticed her gaze and immediately bristled, “What kind of look is that?”
Lu Songli retracted her gaze, not wanting to say more, “Nothing, let’s go this way.”
Qin Sheng was annoyed.
Lu Songli pondered that some plans needed to be adjusted, like her initial plan to collect herbs and treat her own body. Now, for safety’s sake, she decided to postpone this plan.
It wasn’t that she didn’t care about her own health, but the Qin family’s misfortune was imminent. Now that she and Qin Sheng were bound together by the Empress Dowager’s arranged marriage, she didn’t want to get pregnant right after their wedding.
She would naturally try her best to prevent the misfortune from happening, but what if she couldn’t? They were getting married in two months, and if the Qin family couldn’t escape their fate in three or four months, they would be exiled. If she happened to be pregnant at that time, it would be a matter of life and death.
If she wasn’t pregnant, her father could use the pardon token to save her. She didn’t want to be a drag on herself because she was carrying a child. If he couldn’t save her, she didn’t want to be pregnant on the road to exile either.
Speaking of which, what kind of heinous crime did the Qin family commit in the original story?
Lu Songli was troubled, thinking that she regretted not being patient with her little cousin. If she had been more patient or curious, and asked more questions, wouldn’t she be clueless now?
She wondered if she could directly ask her father-in-law after their wedding whether he had committed any treasonous acts?
After finishing her thoughts, Lu Songli came to her senses and turned her head to look at Qin Sheng beside her, discovering that he had moved from her right side to her left side sometime ago, shielding her from the cold wind blowing from the lake.
At this moment, he was walking with his head down, deep in thought.
Lu Songli grabbed his arm, and he turned to look at her.
Lu Songli smiled at him, her hair fluttering in the lake breeze, “Young Master Qin, in two months, we will be married. Please take care of me from now on.”
Qin Sheng’s eyes were filled with amusement, and a smug look appeared on his face, “No problem, no problem.”
The boat had already sailed, Lu Songli didn’t say anything to dampen the mood. For the sake of a good foundation for their cooperation, a positive and enthusiastic attitude was essential.
Thinking about how he would be handsome from a young age to old age, even twenty years later, he would grow into the ceiling of the “uncle circle,” she could tolerate it. He still looked young now, so she would just nurture him. Lu Songli didn’t expect that by transmigrating, she would be able to indulge in the thrill of raising someone.
The two of them went back to the flower hall from the lakeside. Inside the flower hall, the two mothers were still discussing various preparations for the wedding.
When they returned, they were disliked by the two mothers and then chased out, told to stop making trouble and find a place to play on their own.
Standing outside the door, the two of them looked at the closed flower hall door, like two little white flowers, desolate in the cold wind.
You look at me, I look at you. Lu Songli’s eyes clearly read “Your mother doesn’t love you.”
Qin Sheng, not to be outdone, looked back at her, “Your mother doesn’t love you either.”
Lu Songli touched her nose. Oh well, they were both little cabbages in the field, so let’s not hurt each other. It was all his fault, he made her childish too.
“Come on, I’ll take you to my father’s study.”
