Parents are busy farming

After Zhang Gaoyi finished writing the letter, he gently put down his pen, but his eyes did not move away from the letter paper.

He sat quietly at the table, lost in thought, the words that Wang Chuanxing had said to him before constantly echoing in his mind.

At this time, it had been a while since the grand palace banquet ended, but for Zhang Gaoyi, his mission was not yet completed.

He stood up, straightened his armor, and then led the well-trained Yulin Army to conduct a careful search of every corner of the palace.

Their steps were slow but firm, and they did not miss any place where there might be hidden dangers.

After a thorough search and confirming that there was no danger in the palace, Zhang Gaoyi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He waved his hand, indicating that everyone could return to their posts.

After doing all this, he was finally able to leave the palace.

When he slowly stepped out of the palace gate, he immediately saw Wang Chuanxing who had been waiting there.

Wang Chuanxing was seen standing tall like a pine tree, with a solemn expression, as if a heavy burden was weighing on his heart.

As soon as he saw Zhang Gaoyi coming out, Wang Chuanxing walked up to him and said, "Let's talk alone about Xiaowu's matter."

Zhang Gaoyi stared at the serious-looking prince consort in front of him, feeling a little confused and worried.

But he didn't hesitate at all and nodded immediately to show his agreement.

Afterwards, the two of them led their horses together and walked side by side, chatting in low voices as they strolled along the path outside the palace wall.

Wang Chuanxing said solemnly, "Today, when Anle, Xiaowu and I were chatting, somehow the topic suddenly turned to the issue of having children."

He paused for a moment, looked at Zhang Gaoyi, and said slowly: "You and Xiaowu are not young at all. You have gone through many hardships along the way to reach this point hand in hand. It is not easy!"

At this point, Wang Chuanxing couldn't help but sigh.

Then, he frowned slightly and continued, "However, when talking about this issue, I noticed that Xiaowu didn't seem to be very enthusiastic about it. Instead, he showed a little resistance."

At this time, Zhang Gaoyi on the side nodded silently, indicating that he was listening carefully.

Wang Chuanxing took a deep breath and continued, "At that time, Anle enthusiastically described the child's innocence, cuteness, and the happiness that comes from having a complete family. Everyone's face was full of longing, except Xiaowu, who had a slightly complicated expression. I saw her eyes dodging from time to time, as if she was intentionally avoiding this topic."

After a brief pause, Wang Chuanxing spoke again: "Seeing this, I tried to find out what Xiaowu was really thinking. Unexpectedly, she just responded in a light tone that she was not ready yet and did not want to be tied down by a child so early."

After saying this, Wang Chuanxing shook his head and said with a worried look on his face: "From her words, I can clearly feel the deep helplessness and entanglement."

Finally, Wang Chuanxing spread his hands helplessly and sighed, "Since then, everyone has been tactful and stopped discussing this matter further."

"I have always been thinking about this matter, and I always feel that I must find an opportunity to talk to you about it no matter what. After all, you are husband and wife, and things like this ultimately depend on the two of you to communicate seriously and handle them properly."

However, Zhang Gaoyi remained silent at this time, and his face, which was already a little heavy, looked even more solemn.

Wang Chuanxing, who was standing by, saw this and continued, "You and Xiaowu grew up together as childhood sweethearts. You must know her situation as well as I do, right? Xiaowu has had a hard life since she was a child. Not only was she not loved by her family, but she was also often ignored and neglected. Later, she resolutely took on the heavy burden of taking care of her brothers and sisters on her frail shoulders."

After a pause, Wang Chuanxing continued, "In fact, I know very well that you have never minded what Xiaowu has experienced in the past. However, through observation during this period of time, I found that Xiaowu herself does not seem to have too many expectations for the upcoming child. Perhaps it is precisely because of those unbearable past years that she is filled with fear of the arrival of a new life in her heart. She is afraid that she will not be able to give this child enough love and warmth, and thus repeat the pain she once suffered."

Zhang Gaoyi frowned slightly, a trace of pity on his face, and said slowly: "I really understand her! The suffering and torture she has experienced, I am afraid that others may not be able to bear it. I deeply understand the fear and anxiety hidden deep in her heart. So no matter what, I will silently accompany her and give her endless strength and solid and reliable support. Regarding the matter of having a child, I will never force her. My only wish is to let her spend every day as she pleases and live according to her true wishes."

Hearing this, Wang Chuanxing couldn't help but let out a long sigh. He shook his head and said helplessly, "Alas, how could I not understand you? Although you have a younger brother at home, even if you don't mind not having an heir, your brother has no complaints about it."

"But it's hard to say what will happen to your parents! They didn't like Xiaowu in the first place, and now they have found a plausible reason to oppose you two being together. Therefore, you two must think carefully about this matter!"

"But no matter what decision you make in the end, I sincerely hope that you can do your best to protect her. If you can't even do this, none of us brothers will agree!"

After saying this, Wang Chuanxing's eyes were like two sharp arrows, fixed on the man in front of him. His eyes not only revealed a serious expression, but also a deep worry.

His tone when he spoke seemed unusually heavy and unwavering, as if every word was like a thousand-pound hammer hitting the ground, making a dull and powerful sound.

At the same time, one could sense full of expectation and stern warning in his eyes.

Zhang Gaoyi couldn't help but burst out laughing after hearing this, but he quickly stopped smiling and responded seriously, "I'm not kidding when I say this. I protect Zifen as much as anyone else! Just be at ease. No one can make Zifen feel unhappy because of this. Even if my parents come, that won't work!"
