The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

She no longer gave Chen Yanqing an excuse to refuse. She knew that once he firmly refused a few times, it would be difficult for him to regret it in the future for the sake of his face.

Meng Wenyao looked Chen Yanqing up and down, smiling slyly: "You are still so dark today, and you are drunk. If I shout and say that Chen Ge Lao flirted with me after drinking, do you think that someone will think that we have something going on?"

"I don't want to go that far and lose face in front of everyone, like Chen Qianmo did today, so Elder Chen, just agree to it."

Listening to Meng Wenyao's clumsy calculations, Chen Yanqing chuckled: "Meng girl, guess why I haven't remarried for so many years?"

"Everyone says that you were too devoted to your deceased wife." Meng Wen Yao said casually.

Chen Yanqing smiled and shook his head, saying gently, "Yes and not entirely. I have health problems. Whoever marries me will be a widow. I don't want to harm a young woman in her prime."

I didn't expect Chen Yanqing to tell his secret so easily. It seems that he wanted to make Meng Wenyao back down, so he used all his trump cards.

But in Meng Wenyao's eyes, this means nothing.

She said indifferently, "That's perfect. In this wealthy family, there are always quarrels between wives and concubines. Elder Chen is not in good health. From now on, I will be the only one in the backyard. I will be happy to have peace and quiet."

"You are still young, good-looking, talented, and you hold a high position. If I marry you, I will only enjoy happiness. Why should I leave you alone and go to other families in the capital to find a bunch of people who are not as good as you? I may suffer for half my life and still not be able to get the title of a royal lady."

Chen Yanqing shook his head in disapproval, with a hint of an elder reprimanding a younger one.

"Meng girl, please don't belittle yourself because of what happened today. I know you are not a person who covets fame and wealth..."

"I'm."

Meng Wenyao could tell that Chen Yanqing was trying to flatter Meng Wenyao in order to reject her. Meng Wenyao immediately refused: "I am just a person who is greedy for fame and wealth. If you don't believe me when I say I am doing this for you, then just think that I am doing this for your power and status. Anyway, I am going to marry you."

Being interrupted by Meng Wenyao, Chen Yanqing sighed and continued, "If you really want wealth and glory, it's the same if you become my adopted daughter. I will record you in the family tree. As the daughter of the current cabinet minister, you can also enjoy wealth and glory, and you can also marry a man of your dreams."

"But you are the only ideal husband in this world."

Meng Wen Yao held her chin with both hands, staring at Chen Yanqing motionlessly. Her eyes were like a little wolf staring at its prey, and Chen Yanqing felt uncomfortable all over.

He coughed lightly and said unnaturally: "Too many things happened today, it's possible that you were confused for a moment..."

"If I still think this way tomorrow, and next month, can we get married next month?"

"you!"

Chen Yan had become famous since he was young and had been in official circles for more than ten years. He was used to people's compliments and he had always been able to remain calm. But today, he didn't know what was going on, and his emotions were fluctuating because of the teasing of a little girl.

He wanted to frown and scold her, but he was worried that Meng Wen Yao was too traumatized today and might be talking nonsense. When she woke up tomorrow, she might be the quiet and well-behaved little girl again.

Therefore, he did not have the heart to blame Meng Wenyao for her inappropriate words. He could only helplessly criticize her slightly: "Meng girl, let's just pretend that what happened today never happened. If you want anything in the future, let someone tell me. No matter what it is, I will satisfy you."

He stood up and was about to leave. Meng Wenyao stood up slowly and said, "I only want you. Anyway, Chen Qianmo said that if I don't get married, he won't get married. As long as you don't marry me, Chen Qianmo can't get married. Don't you Chen family have any descendants?"

Hearing this, Chen Yanqing staggered and nearly fell down the stairs. Thinking back on what happened tonight, the young man felt that he must have been hallucinating, otherwise he would not have heard such crazy words.

He stood still, unable to maintain his loving expression any longer, and started to leave without looking back.

Meng Wenyao had already stood up, and stepped forward to help Chen Yanqing: "It's dark, be careful of your steps."

The left arm that was touched by Meng Wenyao stiffened instantly. Chen Yanqing used his right arm to rescue his left arm, and then said stiffly: "Meng girl, you are too naughty. Just tell me these things. Don't let your father know, otherwise he may use family rules."

Meng Wenyao looked at Chen Yanqing, who was frightened and fled, and raised her eyebrows: "Just wait and see."

Seeing that Meng Wen Yao didn't catch up, Chen Yanqing strode a long way away before he breathed a sigh of relief.

General Meng, who was waiting anxiously, saw Chen Yanqing staggering towards him and was very worried that Meng Wenyao had made some excessive demands.

He asked tentatively: "Brother Chen, what did Meng girl ask for?"

Just as he took a breath, Chen Yanqing was almost startled when he heard General Meng speak: "Why is General Meng here?"

"Haven't I been waiting for you here?" General Meng thought that Lord Chen would not lose his memory.

He asked again, "Lord? What are you thinking? Is it because Meng's request is too much? I said this child is used to being disrespectful. Don't bother with her. I will lock her up in the ancestral hall for a day and she will definitely behave herself."

"Don't!!"

Chen Yanqing blurted out, he was afraid that Meng Wen Yao would be stimulated again and shout out what happened tonight without any scruples. Now, he only hoped that Meng Wen Yao could get out of the shadow of being let down by Chen Qianmo as soon as possible.

Time will heal everything. Now he can only hope that Meng Wen Yao can figure it out herself.

When he came back to his senses, he had regained his composure: "My niece didn't say anything. She just felt wronged today, so I said a few words to comfort her. If my niece has any requests in the future, you can tell me directly. As long as I can do it, I will definitely not let my niece down."

"This is spoiling the child too much. Everyone's children can do whatever they want. Don't worry, sir. I will go back and have a good talk with this child." General Meng said politely.

"No need. Meng girl can have whatever she wants. You must not lecture her. She has already been wronged enough."

Chen Yanqing was afraid that General Meng would tell the truth and then misunderstand that he seduced Meng Wenyao. He would not know how to end it then.

It's impossible for the son to break off the engagement and then the father will marry the girl back. That would be too unreasonable.

He comforted General Meng carefully before saying goodbye and leaving.

Although General Meng is not a smart man, Elder Chen, who usually remains calm even in the face of disasters, did lose his composure tonight.

He was really curious about what Meng Wen Yao had asked for, so after sending Chen Yanqing off, he immediately went to find Meng Wen Yao.

"Meng girl, what did you ask for from Elder Chen? It can't be his family heirloom, right?"
