Ch 667: Who Dared To Anger Her Majesty?
At first, she would argue with those old women. Those people, on the surface, said they were wrong, and so on and so forth.
But after she turned and left, those people still gossiped as they pleased. Although their voices were much lower, some people in the mansion went to Zhou Jie to complain.
Later, Zhou Jie simply ignored them. She would do as she pleased; what did these people matter? As long as her parents and older brother didn’t stop her, it was fine.
But Wang Yan… Thinking about her time with Wang Yan, Zhou Jie didn’t dare imagine what would happen if she confined Wang Yan to the house and didn’t let her go out. That girl would probably go crazy!
Wang Yan’s face was pale, clearly she hadn’t considered this problem before.
Her hands trembled slightly. She liked Zhou Jun, but if after marriage, she could only stay at home, and even going out to do business or shopping would be a luxury, was that the life she wanted?
She wanted to marry up, to marry a good man, bringing glory to her family. But if the condition was that she would be confined to one place for her whole life, Wang Yan suddenly felt a little hesitant!
“Is… is that true?”
Wang Yan herself didn’t realize that her voice was starting to tremble slightly when she asked this.
Han Luoxue nodded: “Not necessarily. We only made this deduction based on Li Shenshi’s current behavior. If you were already pregnant when you married Zhou Jun, her attitude towards you would definitely not be good!”
“Exactly, Sister Wang Yan, I think you should be firm. Before the wedding, you should discuss this with them to prevent her from trapping you at home and stopping you from going out, using filial piety to control you, making it impossible for you to resist!”
“Sister Xue’er is so good! My cousin loves her very much. After marriage, she can go out whenever she wants; my cousin basically doesn’t care!”
Zhou Jie chuckled: “You know what? Many people want to be my cousin’s concubines? But my cousin doesn’t even give them a second glance. In his eyes, there’s only my little sister Xue’er!”
Wang Yan found something strange about this conversation – “Cousin” and “little sister Xue’er” – it was all a bit confusing to her.
But now she was more worried about her own situation. After thinking for a moment, she decided: “Sister Han, Sister Zhou, please help me. I want to confirm it first!”
Because they had important business to attend to, the three of them didn’t delay. They returned directly to Han Luoxue’s courtyard. Yun Niang and Luo Yu hadn’t returned yet, so Han Luoxue went directly to find Doctor Xu.
“Xue Ya Tou, what are you doing here again?”
Doctor Xu was still sleeping and was a little annoyed to be woken up.
“To have you examine a good friend of mine. She came here specifically to see you!”
Han Luoxue smiled, and Doctor Xu rolled his eyes at her: “Just have your sister examine her!”
“My friend just wants to see if she’s pregnant. It’s still early, so my sister probably can’t diagnose it!”
Doctor Xu glared at her: “Yu’er’s medical skills are not low!”
“That girl is naturally talented. Over the years, she has also studied diligently. She is very hardworking, and in addition to her training on the battlefield recently, her medical skills are now very high!”
Han Luoxue nodded: “I know, but isn’t she busy? We’ve come all this way, so please just check my friend!”
Although Doctor Xu spoke gruffly, he still sat down: “Come on, come over here!”
Wang Yan carefully sat down in front of him, extending her slender arm. Her heart was pounding wildly, and for a moment she didn’t know whether to hope for good news or bad.
When she learned that she might be carrying a child, she felt a little excited, even a little surprised.
But now she was terribly confused. Did having a child mean she had to get married? And would marriage mean staying at home waiting? She had never considered these things before.
“Xue Ya Tou, you really know how to keep me busy!”
Doctor Xu’s pulse diagnosis was quick. He withdrew his hand, his expression calm: “Although it’s only been about ten days, it’s undoubtedly a pregnancy.”
Wang Yan felt a wave of dizziness. She didn’t expect things to turn out this way. How could she have suddenly become pregnant?
When she was in Yancheng, she had seen many women who had been married for years without children, and were forced to take concubines for their husbands.
But she, after just once, was pregnant.
“I… I’m really pregnant?” Wang Yan still couldn’t believe it.
“Humph, this old man’s pulse diagnosis has never been wrong! However, if you go out now, they may not be able to diagnose it. After another ten days or half a month, any physician will be able to tell.”
Wang Yan didn’t know how she left. Zhou Jie, feeling uneasy, personally sent her home.
“Sister Wang Yan, just rest assured. I think you should tell Zhou Jun about this; after all, it’s your first child!”
“You can also ask about his plans. If you’re going to get married, you can discuss the conditions beforehand!”
Wang Yan’s mind was buzzing 【, and she didn’t hear a word.
Lying in bed, she gently stroked her abdomen. It still felt unreal.
……
“Xue Ya Tou, what’s wrong with your friend? Why does she seem so unhappy?”
Doctor Xu asked curiously. Han Luoxue shook her head: “She likes that young man Zhou Jun. But Zhou Jun’s family situation is a bit special. His mother doesn’t think highly of Wang Yan, so they haven’t gotten engaged, let alone married!”
Doctor Xu sighed after hearing this: “Sigh, women should be more reserved.”
“At least before marriage, don’t get involved with someone so casually!”
Han Luoxue’s hand tightened. She remembered the situation that day. Because Zhou Jun was poisoned, she just wanted to give them a chance, hoping that a fait accompli would bring them together.
So even though her space contained an antidote, she didn’t take it out. But she didn’t expect that she might have harmed her good friend.
Suddenly, Han Luoxue felt regret.
Even after returning to the palace, she still felt uneasy and guilty.
Did she help or did she hinder?
When Ouyang Zhen returned, he saw his wife’s worried expression. He hugged her from behind, gently holding her in his arms, resting his chin on her shoulder, and not forgetting to gently bite her ear.
Han Luoxue felt a shiver run down her spine, her ears turning slightly red.
“Chen Gege…”
Han Luoxue whispered softly. The sound was so sweet and gentle that Ouyang Zhen’s body tensed, and he almost wanted to press her onto the bed and tease her.
“Who upset the Empress today?” Ouyang Zhen suppressed the urge, his voice slightly hoarse.
“Was there someone disrespectful at the wedding?”
