In order to convince Emperor Hui of his words, Sheng Wan continued to stay in the Sheng Mansion.

On the way back home, Ruan Zhen was not in a good mood. She lowered her eyes and held a handkerchief embroidered with hibiscus flowers with her fingers like onions.

Gu Huaizhi glanced sideways at her, then closed his eyes to rest.

The whole journey was silent.

When the carriage stopped in front of the Duke's Mansion, Changfeng brought a footstool. Gu Huaizhi took the lead in getting out of the carriage.

Ruan Zhen stood up slowly, but avoided the man's hand, held up the hem of her skirt, and got out of the carriage step by step without saying a word.

The exquisite and gorgeous layered skirt cuts an arc in the air.

She did not wait for Gu Huaizhi, but went straight into the house and headed towards the corridor.

Gu Huaizhi raised his eyebrows in interest because he didn't see her like this. He backed away from the people behind him and strode forward. He said in a quiet tone: "Ruan Zhen, are you angry with me?"

Ruan Zhen turned around and glanced at him. She quickly lowered her head and whispered in a soft voice, "But I want a child."

The Duke's mansion cannot have heirs. And she is not that Ruan Zhen. She can give birth if her body allows it.

Gu Huaizhi squinted his eyes. His dark eyes were dark, and there was a depth in his eyes that others could not understand.

The prince's voice became lowered: "No, you don't want to."

Ruan Zhen was rarely stubborn, her red lips opened and closed: "I think."

Gu Huaizhi's Adam's apple rolled, his thin lips pursed into a straight line, and his jawline was tight and sharp. His voice was neither fast nor slow, and his speaking speed was just right.

"You should listen to me."

Ruan Zhen looked up at him reluctantly.

"Does your husband not want to have a child with me?"

"What?"

Ruan Zhen said slowly: "You just want to live with others."

Gu Huaizhi laughed angrily:...

"Ruan Zhen, please be reasonable. Can you say this with your eyes open?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the young lady reacted slowly and covered her ears. Her watery eyes were full of seriousness, and she said word by word: "I didn't hear you."

Gu Huaizhi:!!!

He said! Ruan Zhen cannot stay with Sheng Wan any longer!

The young lady has mastered Sheng Wan's way of bullying Gu He very well. She has even gone as far as to do it.

If she had scolded someone for no reason, Gu Huaizhi would have choked with a cold face. But the other party softly covered his ears and said in the most innocent tone... He didn't hear her.

If she hadn't covered it up too slowly, Gu Huaizhi would have believed it!

"Ruan Zhen..."

As soon as he said two words, he was interrupted by the young lady's gentle voice.

"Husband, stop talking, I can't even hear you."

Gu Huaizhi's face was expressionless as he turned the finger in his hand.

Who would have thought that the little lady's courage has increased by more than a little or two.

She even dropped the harsh words.

"I have to give birth. If you don't mind the noise, then I will move back to Hanlianyuan."

"If you don't agree, I...I will find someone else to die."

The man's face darkened at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.

Just hear a click.

The wrench was crushed.

Ruan Zhen looked at the broken finger on the man's hand and thought for a while.

With a movement of her plain white hand, she carefully, under Gu Huaizhi's cold gaze, took the broken wrench into her hand and stuffed it into the purse at her waist, despite the pressure.

"mine."

Gu Huaizhi:......

At this time, don’t forget to close your fingers. It’s really embarrassing for you!

————

Ruan Zhen retracted her finger and ignored Gu Huaizhi in a rare temperament. Instead of going back to Moyuan, she went back to Hanliyuan.

Gu Huaizhi still had official duties to attend to, so he didn't catch up with her. He narrowed his eyes and watched Ruan Zhen walking away on lotus steps angrily. But deep down in his heart, he believed that the young lady just didn't think about it for a moment.

Gu Huaizhi was not a lover, but Ruan Zhen was his. Even so, Gu Huaizhi was not willing to take the risk.

As for incense, it is adopted.

Gu Huaizhi was willing to give her time to digest herself.

"Prepare the horse." He turned around and told Changfeng.

Changfeng wanted to speak but stopped.

Although Ruan Zhen has a soft temper, she is also a stubborn person.

Previously, the Duke of Guo had postponed the matter of coaxing Sheng to marry him due to official duties, so he was driven to the study to sleep that night.

Does his master want to follow in the footsteps of the Duke?

Isn't it as difficult as reaching heaven to expect a woman to realize that her husband does not want to have children with her?

Changfeng took a breath and could only say very implicitly: "I have something I don't know whether to say or not?"

Gu Huaizhi glanced at him lazily and snorted: "Then shut up."

Changfeng:......

He could only grit his teeth: "I feel that the master must make it clear to the concubine. Furthermore, there is no telling which day the issue of the heir will come. How can we control this?"

Gu Huaizhi frowned and stared at him in surprise. Apparently he disliked Chang Feng for not doing business, and instead was meddling in other people's business like a talkative woman.

"Sir." The butler came in a hurry. He was probably in a hurry and was sweating.

"The palace sent two innocent women here to serve the young master. Because they were sent by that woman, I really don't know whether I should keep them. Now Eunuch Zhao is still waiting in the front yard for my reply."

The ‘him’ in his mouth is naturally Emperor Hui.

laugh.

Gu Huaizhi sneered.

The disgust in his eyes could not be concealed.

Is this because Sheng Wan took Ruan Zhen to his parents' home, but was unable to meet his conditions and asked him to send someone to comfort him immediately?

Did Emperor Hui think he was that dirty?

"throw it out."

The steward said: "Yes."

"Tell Eunuch Zhao to go back and tell that person not to throw anything he doesn't want at me."

"yes."

"Wait a minute." Gu Huaizhi suddenly stopped the housekeeper.

He thought for a moment: "Stay here first."

In this room, Ruan Zhen entered Hanlian Courtyard unhappily.

Mother Ge came up to greet her and was about to say hello when she noticed something was wrong with Ruan Zhen.

Her mind was spinning so much that she could only ask softly: "Are you having trouble with my uncle?"

Ruan Zhen pursed her lips and said nothing.

Mother Ge could only turn her head to look at An Qi, and An Qi quickly whispered the whole story. Mother Ge was shocked.

When a girl is married, she is married to a high family and has no family to rely on.

Although the duke's wife treats his wife as his own, there is a layer of separation. The prince treats the girl well, but how long can a man's love last? If there are no children by his side, where will he be able to rely on in the future?

Mother Ge was so anxious that she was running around in circles.

She looked around and quickly pulled Ruan Zhen inside: "Prince Concubine, you must never listen to my uncle on this."

Ruan Zhen nodded slightly. The jade drop earrings hanging on Ruyu's earlobes swung three times with her movements.

The color of women is undoubtedly superior.

Mother Ge: "Don't blame me for talking too much, and don't blame me for worrying too much. After living for such a long time, I have seen and heard more than the girl. Not to mention that it is such a prominent house as the Duke's Mansion.

Even from a small family, or even from a poor family, no woman can gain a firm foothold in her husband's family without giving birth to a boy."

Ruan Zhen was startled and said quickly: "Mom, she is overthinking it. She is afraid that I am in poor health."

Mother Ge shook her head: "Can you believe this kind of rhetoric?"

Today's Ruan Zhen naturally believes it.

But at this moment, Tan Yun strode in.

"Oh no, my uncle wants to take a concubine!"

"Stop talking nonsense."

Tan Yun jumped to his feet: "Prince Princess, come and see, everyone has settled down!"
