Chapter 30: If you want me to have children, then you'd better give me one first!
"Thank you, Princess," the group said.
Qin Yizhen smiled and said, "No need to thank me. It's not like I'm going to borrow it and not pay it back. Besides, I'm happy that I can help."
"To be honest, Miss Fang offended me, and I was just about to teach her a lesson. Today, I was also thinking that my elder sister was unreliable and whether I should arrange for someone else to do these things. Your taking on this task has relieved my urgent need."
Song Nian said, "Princess, please rest assured. The Marquis said that Princess Huizhen should handle the matter openly. If that Miss Fang dares to cause trouble, Princess Huizhen will deal with her."
Qin Yizhen paused slightly and asked him, "Don't you want to ask me why I treated Miss Fang this way?"
Song Nian snorted and said matter-of-factly, "If the princess is so kind, then it must be that Miss Fang did something wrong. Since she was in the wrong, don't blame us for bullying her."
Everyone felt a pang of jealousy seeing Song Nian's expression that said, "The princess is always right, and everyone else is always wrong."
Cheng Yan grabbed a bean and threw it at him, hitting him on the head.
Song Nian exclaimed "Ah!" and covered his head with his hand.
Cheng Yan glanced at him: "You're not allowed to be frivolous in front of the princess."
Songnian belatedly realized that he had interrupted his master, so he covered his mouth with his hand and immediately dared not say anything more.
The group exchanged glances, not laughing out loud, but exchanging knowing looks and making faces at each other.
Qin Yizhen laughed and said, "Alright, it's not a big deal. Since you're going to do this business, you should hurry. I can delay Miss Fang for a few days and make her Fanghua Pavilion open later, but it won't be too long."
"I also have a request. I want Miss Fang to lose everything, so that Fanghua Pavilion can no longer operate."
"I will certainly not disappoint the princess."
After the matter was discussed, everyone said goodbye and left, and soon only Cheng Yan and Qin Yizhen remained in the room.
After talking for a while, Qin Yizhen felt a little thirsty, so she picked up the tea beside her and took a sip.
Cheng Yan pushed the pastries in his hand over to her and said, "These Eight Treasures Cakes are quite good. You should have some."
Qin Yi really wanted to say that she wasn't hungry and wouldn't eat after the appointed time, but seeing that he had already spoken, she couldn't refuse. She nodded, took one, and took a bite.
It's soft, chewy, and sweet; it's really good.
She asked Cheng Yan, "Do you also think that what I did to Miss Fang was wrong?"
“Of course.” Cheng Yan nodded. “Although Song Nian is all smiles and jokes, what he said is exactly what I wanted to say.”
“I’ve known you since you were little, and I know what kind of person you are. You are the kindest and most benevolent person. She made you so angry, and you still want to take revenge on her. She must have done something extremely hateful. Therefore, I don’t need to hold back.”
At this point, Cheng Yan's face remained calm, but a storm was brewing in his eyes. He hadn't thought much of it when he saw that Qin Yi was perfectly fine, but now he wanted to ask a question.
"Tell me, what exactly did she do?"
What have you done?
Because she ruined you!
Qin Yizhen's hands trembled, she bit her lip, and her eyes welled up with tears.
She didn't know how to tell Cheng Yan about those things, nor did she want him to know that she had been at odds with him her whole life, and that she only felt regret after they were separated by death.
She was both stubborn and foolish, and she ruined both of them.
"She...she lied to me!" Qin Yizhen bit her lip. "She always said she considered me a friend, and I thought she would be my friend too, but she's a liar. She covets you and wants to hurt me."
"She wants to harm you?" Cheng Yan's face darkened, and his eyes turned cold. "How dare she!"
Cheng Yan didn't bother to find out how Fang Shixin and Qin Yizhen got along, but Qin Yizhen always seemed to be in a good mood whenever Fang Shixin came, so Cheng Yan didn't interfere and allowed the Fang family to build a relationship with the Cheng family, and he also provided them with a lot of support.
Unexpectedly, this man surnamed Fang had ulterior motives and wanted to harm Qin Yizhen.
Cheng Yan suddenly wondered if Qin Yizhen's sudden change in attitude towards him was because of Fang Shixin.
"You don't need to worry about this matter. I will make that Fang family pay the price."
Qin Yizhen said, "The Fang family is not important, but I think Fang Shixin is a very problematic person."
"Today at Wanshi Tower, it was she who brought Liang Xize here, saying she was introducing me to Liang Xize. I suspect she has a close relationship with this Liang Xize. Cheng Yan, you need to send more people to keep an eye on them."
Keep an eye on them, lest they plot against you again.
When Cheng Yan heard her say that Liang Xize was brought here by Fang Shixin, his eyes grew even colder: "Fine."
Qin Yizhen breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him agree, and she felt much more relaxed. If Cheng Yan kept an eye on Liang Xize and Fang Shixin, he probably wouldn't be tricked by them.
This made her feel much more at ease.
"There's one more thing..." Qin Yizhen remembered what Wang Xianrong had mentioned today, and thought about it and brought it up as well, "Today, Aunt Wang went back to the Wang family, and after you left just now, she came to see me and told me something."
"What's going on?" What kind of trouble is this now?
"She said she's already twenty this year, and both the Wang family and she feel she should have an heir, so she wanted me to persuade you to go to her courtyard for a few days—"
Before Qin Yi could finish speaking, her wrist was suddenly gripped tightly. Startled, she turned to look and saw that Cheng Yan's face had darkened.
So you're here to persuade me now?
"I..." Qin Yizhen saw his dark face, which meant he was angry, and she felt a little scared, but there were some things she still wanted to make clear.
"I just feel that she is deeply in love with you, and it is really unfair of you to keep ignoring her. Besides, you are not young anymore, and you should have an heir."
"Deeply in love?" Cheng Yan laughed angrily. "What does her deep love have to do with me? It's not like I begged her to be deeply in love with me. There are plenty of people in this world who are deeply in love with me. Do you expect me to appease them one by one?"
Do I owe them something?
"Qin Yizhen, I thought you'd come to your senses these past two days and wanted to live a good life with me, but I didn't expect you to still be the same as before, stubborn and incorrigible, playing the 'virtuous wife' card again!"
Cheng Yan was really driven crazy by her.
She could see that other women were deeply in love with him, and she felt that he shouldn't betray them.
What about him?
She was completely blind to his deep affection!
"You want me to have offspring, huh? Fine!" Cheng Yan sneered. "But you should know these rules. If the legitimate son hasn't been born yet, how can you give birth to an illegitimate son first? Wouldn't that make me the target of all the officials' scorn and impeachment?"
"If you want me to have a child, then you'd better give me one first!"
After Cheng Yan finished speaking, he forcefully pulled her over, pressed her onto the table, then leaned down and kissed her, pinching her chin.
He wrapped his hand around her waist and forcefully pulled at her waist belt.
