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

In the bridal chamber, besides the maids brought by Meng Wen Yao, there were also many people from Fenyang Palace. Meng Wen Yao had to be extremely careful in following all of her instructions and not make any too much noise.

At least she couldn't go out and find out by herself, and Hua Mian was a stranger. No one should pay too much attention to her wandering around the palace at such a noisy wedding.

Although Hua Mian felt that Meng Wen Yao was too nervous, she found it a bit strange that the Third Young Master was the one who took charge of everything from the marriage to the wedding ceremony at Prince Fenyang's Mansion. She smiled and greeted the people from Prince Fenyang's Mansion in the bridal chamber, then pretended to go to the toilet.

After Hua Mian was led to the toilet by the maid, she nimbly escaped, then walked around a few times and began to pay attention to the maids and servants coming and going.

Some people were obviously busy preparing for the wedding, but as for the rest who were not, Hua Mian would quietly follow them and eavesdrop on what they said as long as they were in a hurry.

After following a few people, Hua Mian finally heard the news about the eldest son Xie Nanan.

"Why are you here just now? The doctor is changing the medicine for the eldest master. We have to bring the medicine over after the change. We can't be late."

After a servant who looked like a manager finished speaking, a servant explained, "Today is a wedding, and the kitchen was very busy. I don't know if the stove for boiling medicine has been taken away. I searched for a long time before I found it. Now I'm a little late."

Hearing that it was something happening in Xie Nanan's yard, Hua Mian immediately followed and sneaked into the back of Xie Nanan's yard under the cover of night. After searching for a long time, she finally found Xie Nanan's bedroom in the dense bushes. She quietly went up to listen to the movements in the room.

"Sir, I gave you so many needles today. Do you feel anything in your legs and waist?"

Hua Mian heard an old man's voice, but no one answered for a long while. Then he heard the old man sigh and say, "Young Master, drink the medicine first. Maybe it will be useful."

After a while, perhaps because Xie Nan'an had taken the medicine, a male voice said, "Young Master, the eldest young lady's wife is waiting for you in the bridal chamber. Would you like me to help you go over and lift the veil?"

"Don't go!"

Hua Mian heard a weak yet firm voice, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat. Wasn't it said that the eldest son of Prince Fenyang's Mansion had taken a fancy to their young lady? Why was he unwilling to even lift the veil and come over?

The man advised, "Young Master, the Third Young Master will be your replacement for the wedding reception and the wedding ceremony. If you don't go over after the veil is lifted, the First Young Master's wife will be unhappy."

"What young lady? Who agreed to get a wife? Get out!"

These few short sentences made Hua Mian tremble with fear. She thought her young lady had met a good man, but she didn't expect that her future son-in-law would totally disagree with this marriage.

If this is the case, how can her young lady have a good life in the future? What's even more infuriating is that the people in Fenyang Palace actually said that their eldest son went to propose to Meng Wen Yao because he liked her. This is obviously problematic.

She was so angry that she was about to go back and tell Meng Wen Yao, when she suddenly heard the sound of the door opening again.

"Third Young Master."

"All of you go down, I will persuade the eldest brother."

Hearing that it was the Third Young Master Xie Jinbao coming, Hua Mian once again leaned against the window and listened.

"Brother, this acupuncture is useless. You have to drink the medicine carefully, otherwise you will be paralyzed in bed for the rest of your life."

Hearing this, Hua Mian's heart suddenly skipped a beat. The eldest son of the Fenyang Palace was actually paralyzed? ! !

The one who rushed to the Meng family to propose marriage and get engaged, wasn't this a clear marriage fraud?

She was so angry that she was shaking all over. Then she heard the person in the room continue, "Brother, do you know how much mother loves you? When she heard that you fell off your horse and became paralyzed, she was worried that you would be alone for the rest of your life, so she immediately searched all over the capital to find you a good wife who could take good care of you for the rest of your life. Now, she finally heard that the Meng family had a good reputation, so she bribed someone and got the handkerchief of the young lady from the Meng family. She said that you two were engaged."

"The Meng family is naive. When they heard this, they were afraid that it would affect their family's reputation, so they didn't even ask around and just let the people in the mansion lead them to marry her."

At this point, Xie Jinbao sighed and said, "Now my virtuous sister-in-law is waiting for you to lift the veil in the bridal chamber. Brother, you should drink your medicine and let the servants carry you to lift the veil. I will take over the wedding reception and the wedding ceremony. You won't let me lift the veil for you, will you? If you are willing, I can also take over the bridal chamber."

"you!"

The weak voice suddenly became high-pitched and angrily said, "Xie Jinbao, are you still a human being? I am your elder brother, and you dare to humiliate me like this."

Xie Jinbao didn't take Xie Nanan's anger seriously at all. He stirred the medicine bowl a few times and sneered, "Brother, I say this precisely because I'm your younger brother."

"Do you know that when mother heard that you were paralyzed and might not be able to have sex, she actually told me to give you my eldest son for adoption. She really thought about everything for you. Since mother cares about you so much, wouldn't it be more convenient for me to just sleep with my eldest sister-in-law? In short, it's all for you to have a son. Anyway, you can't have sex, so why do you care how the son came about?"

After a crisp "pop" sound, Xie Nanan angrily said: "Xie Jinbao, why didn't I realize before that you are so shameless? Are you still a human being? You always humiliate my sister-in-law and brother. You have learned all the moral principles and honors."

Xie Jinbao did not fight back, but slowly started arguing with Xie Nanan.

"What sister-in-law? Didn't big brother just say that he didn't agree to marry a wife? Anyway, I married Miss Meng. If big brother doesn't want her, I will. If Miss Meng knew that big brother was paralyzed, I'm afraid she would be eager to remarry me."

"You are shameless!" Xie Nanan said angrily.

"I am shameless? Who is shameless? She is a good girl, but because you are paralyzed, my mother wants to find a virtuous girl to marry and take care of you. This is why Miss Meng's life has been ruined. What did Miss Meng do wrong? Is it because of her good reputation that my mother saw her?"

"You, Xie Nan'an, are shameless. You knew that the family was going to marry you off, so why didn't you let the Meng family know that you were paralyzed? Why did you keep silent and lie to them about marrying you? You actually have the nerve to call me shameless."

Xie Nanan was obviously very angry. After saying "you you you, me me me" for a long time, he fell silent.

After a long while, Xie Jinbao continued to sarcastically say, "Who would have thought that the once dashing and noble eldest son of Fenyang Palace would become a paraplegic in the blink of an eye. He has to rely on fraud to marry a good wife. But after tonight, the Meng family will know how this marriage was deceived. If I had any shame, I would have hit my head and died in the room to avoid going out and embarrassing myself."
