Chapter 296 If There Were No Children
Zheng Wenxiu was a noble lady in the capital, but she had never suffered such an injustice. After marrying Cui Yushan, Cui Yushan had always spoken kindly to her. But when she was suddenly told this by Cui Yushan, she burst into tears.
Seeing Zheng Wenxiu crying, Cui Yushan also realized that his tone might be a little harsh.
He still needed to rely on his father-in-law's family, so he quickly comforted Zheng Wenxiu, "My lady, don't be sad. Now we are all angry with Wei Ling. Just bear it for a while. We can wait and see what happens later. The most urgent thing is to repair our relationship with Wei Ling. Maybe we can just set up a banquet to congratulate Wei Ling and invite him and his wife to Li Garden, so as to temporarily ease the relationship and get through the current situation."
After hearing this, Zheng Wenxiu was very reluctant. "Su Jixiang is just a maid in the palace. How can she be qualified to be invited by me?"
"My lady, please keep your voice down." Cui Yushan waved his hands. "She is now a successful person. We are in a different situation now. We can bend and stretch. As I said before, let's see what happens in the future!"
He finally managed to coax Zheng Wenxiu into submission with his sweet words. Zheng Wenxiu then asked someone to bring pen and ink, and wrote the invitations herself, inviting Wei Ling and Xie Yingfeng to a banquet in the name of congratulations.
At the same time, she also sent a message to Zhao Xiuwan, inviting the couple to accompany her.
Su Jixiang soon received an invitation letter from Zheng Wenxiu.
It happened that Wei Ling had just returned, and the news that he had been conferred the title of marquis had now spread throughout Mangcheng.
The entrance to the general's mansion was crowded with people coming to congratulate him. Clan gentry and officials of all ranks from Mangcheng came to congratulate him.
There was so much busy work in front of the general's mansion that there was no free space at all.
The yard that Wei Ling bought before was not very big, just enough for everyone to live in. Now the front and back yards are piled with all kinds of gifts and there is no room to move.
Faced with these gifts, Su Jixiang felt a little worried.
It is not right to accept it, and it is not right not to accept it.
Moreover, she had at least a dozen invitations to host a banquet for the couple.
"Busy?" Wei Ling came back and saw the situation in the courtyard, and felt a little relieved. Although he was conferred the title of Marquis today, he was not in a good mood. Before he came back just now, Zhou Ziqi went to his place to check his pulse as usual, and he asked Zhou Ziqi some questions. Zhou Ziqi's answer made him feel uncomfortable and depressed to the extreme.
"I'm busy!" Su Jixiang rolled his eyes at him. "These gifts may have to be piled up to the roof! The yard will be full!"
"Madam, are you complaining that the yard you bought for your husband is too small?" Wei Ling held Su Jixiang's hand and rubbed the back of her hand affectionately with his chin.
No matter how domineering, strong and cold he appeared outside, he was very gentle in front of Su Jixiang. It was just that now he seemed to be trying to please with a little bit of flattery, but Su Jixiang was so focused on looking at the gift list that he didn't notice.
"That's not the case. This yard is just right for living in. It's quite comfortable. If it's bigger, it will be difficult to manage." Su Jixiang smiled, "We have a small family. It's enough."
"If we have a baby in the future, I will build a big yard for you!" Wei Ling looked at Su Jixiang and said softly.
But after he said that, he felt a little bitter in his heart.
He and Su Jixiang have been married for such a long time, and they have consummated their marriage for a long time, but Su Jixiang's belly has not moved.
This made Wei Ling a little scared, so when Zhou Ziqi went to give him a routine check-up today, he asked Zhou Ziqi about it. The answer Zhou Ziqi gave was just as he expected, it was indeed very difficult for him to make a woman pregnant.
He had been injured too many times before, and his body was already at the end of its strength. He had been pulled back from the gates of hell several times. Although he was recovering slowly now, his body was not in good condition. He had also been poisoned several times, and the remaining poison in his body had not yet been cleared. In the past year, he could not even use his internal energy at will. He could only wait for the remaining poison to subside before he could continue to recover.
Su Jixiang's face turned red instantly, "What nonsense are you talking about!" But a sweet smile still appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Looking at the smile on Su Jixiang's lips, Wei Ling's eyes suddenly felt a little dry.
She likes children! If I can't give her a child, will she dislike me?
Wei Ling's heart was filled with sadness and gloom, and even this person seemed gloomy.
"I want to tell you something." He took Su Jixiang's hand and quickly took her to the study, then closed the door.
"What's the matter?" Su Jixiang looked at Wei Ling.
His movements seemed to be frozen in the action of closing the door, with one hand holding himself and the other hand against the door, his body half turned towards himself, and his eyes seemed to be tinged with some ambiguous light.
His eyes were filled with sorrow and a hint of fear.
Su Jixiang had seen the indifferent Wei Ling, the enthusiastic Wei Ling, and the Wei Ling who cared about everything, but he had never seen the afraid Wei Ling. And now, fear flashed in Wei Ling's eyes.
"What's wrong with you?" Su Jixiang's heart skipped a beat.
She touched Wei Ling's cheek and it felt a little cold.
"Did something big happen?" Su Jixiang asked cautiously.
"I went to find Zhou Ziqi." Wei Ling took a deep breath and decided to tell Su Jixiang about this matter. After all, this was a big deal about their relationship! He didn't want Su Jixiang to become uneasy in the future because of the lack of children.
After listening to Wei Ling's words, Su Jixiang looked into Wei Ling's eyes. Wei Ling seemed very unconfident under Su Jixiang's gaze, and his eyes even became evasive.
His heart was hanging high, fearing that something bad would come out of Su Jixiang's mouth...
"What would you do if I were the one who couldn't conceive?" Su Jixiang asked slowly.
Wei Ling was startled, then smiled bitterly and said, "Madam, please don't comfort me."
"No, I'm asking you this question and you should answer it." Su Jixiang raised his hand and turned Wei Ling's cheek, so that his eyes could no longer move around and could only look at himself.
"So what? You are my wife, the one I love, not a tool for childbirth. It would be best if you can give birth, but it doesn't matter if you can't. It is enough for me to have you by my side." Wei Ling said.
"Will you take a concubine?" Su Jixiang asked.
"Take a concubine?" Wei Ling's voice suddenly rose, and then he immediately shook his head, "I'm crazy! I won't give you any chance or excuse to leave me!"
"Even if the Wei family's inheritance is cut off here, would you be willing?" Su Jixiang asked seriously.
You have to know that the Wei family was wiped out with only Wei Ling left. From now on, the hope of the Wei family's revival lies in Wei Ling alone...
