I Woke the Sick and Disabled Prince on Our Wedding Night

Chapter 357 - 357 Digging a Hole



357 Digging a Hole

“Rui’er, what are you talking about?!”

Fang Rui’er’s roar was unexpected, so for a moment, the originally noisy courtyard fell silent. Everyone turned around and looked at her in shock.

At this moment, Aunt Luo shouted with a dark expression, “Everyone here is a senior, so how can you be so rude? Hurry up and go in!!

You have no manner at all!

Your father and brother have really spoiled you too much! Why are you still standing here? Are you waiting for me to tear your mouth apart?”

Aunt Luo glared at Fang Rui’er as she scolded her. The little girl was sensitive to begin with, so she was very dissatisfied. At this moment, she was so angry and aggrieved that she turned around and ran back to the house while crying.

There was the sound of crying inside, as well as the sound of someone smashing things, and Fang Liu’s gentle coaxing.

Logically speaking, if ordinary people went to someone else’s house to gossip, they would have left when they saw such a commotion. However, no one in the courtyard had such self-awareness. They acted as if they did not see anything. Although they looked a little embarrassed, they still sat there.

Aunt Luo knew what was going on now, but she did not expose them. She only said, “Sorry guys. That child is insensible.

It’s my fault. She’s my only daughter, so I’ve spoiled her! She’s so unruly now.”

“How can that be? If she’s really that unruly, would the general’s wife still like her so much and ask her to accompany her every day?” A woman beside her said impatiently when she heard Aunt Luo’s words. Although she was smiling, she could not hide her eagerness.

Aunt Luo only smiled and said indifferently, “What’s so good about her? She’s just a silly child who takes these things too seriously.”

As if she felt that she said something wrong, Aunt Luo quickly smiled and changed her words. “I’m actually stooping to the level of a child.

Speaking of which, that madam treats Rui’er quite well. However, her status is very different from ours now. If not for the fact that she needed something, she probably would not have thought of making this trip personally.

I advised her not to think about those inappropriate things, but this child is too stubborn and even got angry with me!

But she’s just a child, so how could she know so much?”

“That’s strange. Why did that madam come to our place?” Upon hearing Aunt Luo’s words, they wanted to get more information.

“This is not some sort of scenic place, so there’s nothing much to see.

However, she’s really lucky. I heard that she was from the countryside, but she married a big shot. Now, she has gone from rags to riches.”

Aunt Luo was not in a hurry to speak when she heard their probing. After listening for while, she deliberately revealed a hint of disdain and snorted. “The blessings given by the heavens are always limited.

When god closes a door, he opens a window.

She married well, but this woman doesn’t have any children. Even if she has great wealth now, she can’t hold on to it!”

Despite hearing Aunt Luo’s words, the women beside her didn’t think of their current situation at all and started talking about how difficult it was to have no children.

They only hoped that Aunt Luo would reveal more relevant information.

Aunt Luo was like an ordinary woman who had been coaxed by sweet nothings. After being bewitched, she spoke more and more without scruples.

“She came over this time in order to have a child!

She heard that my eldest son’s wife was pregnant. I don’t know where she heard it from, but rumor has it that getting closer to women who had just gotten pregnant would help.

As for pregnant women, the fewer of them are pregnant, the easier it will be for the luck to gather together. I don’t know much about those things, but the higher-ups like them, so we might as well follow their wishes.”

At this point, Aunt Luo could not help but purse her lips and chuckle mockingly. “This method might be effective elsewhere, but this madam…”

Tsk, I’m afraid it’ll be difficult for her.”

“Why?” Aunt Luo’s words made the surrounding people even more focused, for fear that they would miss out on any useful information.

“Her body is weak and she’s been in ill health since she was young. I don’t know if she can make up for it now. However, even if she can, it will take a few years. Do you think the general is willing to wait?” Aunt Luo shook the half-peeled peanut dustpan in her hand before continuing to comment, “It’s fine if it was an ordinary family, but if the general doesn’t have an heir, will he be at ease?

Therefore, from the looks of it, she’s probably already thinking of other solutions.”

Aunt Luo shook her head as she sighed regretfully before continuing to peel the peanuts.

Although she did not say it explicitly, the women beside her surrounded her and kept asking questions. However, they did not dare to be straightforward and only probed indirectly.

After keeping these people in suspense for a while, Aunt Luo put the dustpan aside and patted the dust off her knees. Then, she said with a smile, “If the wife can’t give birth, can’t she just find someone who can give birth?”

“But doesn’t the general have an extremely good relationship with his wife?”

“That’s right. I heard that the general accompanied his wife wherever she went today. With such a good husband around, will the general’s wife be willing to give up her man?”

As soon as Aunt Luo said this, some people voiced their doubts.

After all, everyone had their own selfish motives. It was said that women should be obedient and virtuous when they got married, but in fact, who would be willing to bring a few younger women home as concubines?

Of course, it would have been fine if she were one of those young ladies who were already used to this. This was what they had seen since they were young. However, the general’s wife was from humble beginnings. If the general found a concubine now…

Would she be willing to accept it?
