After the zombies traveled through time, they were tricked by the villain into becoming a stepmother

"...Prince Consort, I'm sorry...I..."

She cried intermittently, and every word she said was filled with her guilt towards her husband and her confusion about the future.

Her husband is already 28 years old. Among the noble men of this age, which one is childless? Why did Fukang make such a fuss about the Wang family some time ago? Wasn't it because the concubine that the Wang family arranged for the husband was pregnant?

And the princes-in-law of my eldest sister, third sister, aunts, and even my great-aunts, which one of them didn't secretly have children with other people?

This is the marriage of princesses, either to be married off or to be worshipped. They should be the most noble women in the world, but they are still bound by rules and etiquette and cannot move forward.

Pei Jingyao knew why Chen Xinghe had not secretly taken a concubine to have children when he was almost thirty years old. So she often hated her broken body. Even if she could give birth to a child for him, it would not be a waste of his true love.

However, the few times they had sex during the past six years were not enough to make her frail body pregnant.

"Your Highness, don't cry."

Chen Xinghe tried hard not to look so sad. He still had a gentle smile on his face. He raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his wife's eyes.

The murmurs in his mouth were so low that they could not be heard.

"Don't be afraid. I won't have children with anyone else. In a few years, I'll adopt a nephew from my eldest brother, and it will be the same."

How can they be the same?

How can this be the same?

Princess Duan Ning cried inconsolably as she looked at the man who had been guarding her for a long time with tearful eyes. She took a few deep breaths and tried to calm her trembling voice so that she would not look so embarrassed and pitiful.

"...Chen Xinghe, you...you can get a few concubines. I will allow it."

If only she hadn't cried like this, if only her tears hadn't made him so heartbroken, then Chen Xinghe felt that he would be willing to listen to her.

Thinking about how his elder brother had been so disappointed with him in the past two years, the bitter smile on his face turned into a resigned and desolate look. But the hand that wiped his wife's tears was still so gentle that it made people feel heartbroken.

"Don't be afraid, I will protect Your Highness."

Yes, he is a subject, and he should protect his Royal Highness the Princess.

"Husband, wuwuwu, I'm sorry..."

A huge sense of guilt overwhelmed Princess Duanning. She admitted that she was a selfish woman and did not want her husband to sleep with another woman and do the intimate things they had done before.

In this life, Pei Jingyao owes Chen Xinghe.

"Fourth sister, why are you crying?"

The couple was originally in a state of silence, but suddenly a particularly unromantic Chu Da head popped up and looked back and forth in front of the two people with a stern face.

"I didn't kick you, why are you crying like that? Even Mrs. Green in the yard didn't cry, but you did!"

What about my fourth brother-in-law?

Ah Dai performed standard movements, put his hands into his sleeves, tilted his body and stretched his head to take a closer look. She felt that the nasty look of Fourth Brother-in-law looked familiar to her.

After being reminded by the seventh sister, the couple remembered that Aunt Lijiao was still lying in the yard! Princess Duan Ning quickly raised her sleeves to wipe her tears, and kept explaining.

"My husband, please go and take a look. Please don't let anything happen to my aunt, otherwise the clan leader will not forgive us."

"Don't panic. I'll ask someone to get a doctor to come and take a look. Just sit here with the Seventh Princess. I'll be back after I've arranged everything. Don't panic and be obedient."

"Ok!"

Chu Daidai, who was squatting on the side, didn't say anything, just watched Chen Xinghe's anxious figure rushing out like a dog. She frowned and scratched her head. She still didn't know Sister Li, but this scene seemed a little familiar.

"Fourth sister, have I gotten into trouble again?"

She felt that she had done nothing and had been very restrained today. If she hadn't been thinking about getting more gifts from her fourth sister, the old lady wouldn't have been enough for her to show off.

"It's okay, Seventh Sister, this has nothing to do with you, don't take it to heart."

No matter how weak-hearted Princess Duan Ning was, she would never be so absurd as to involve her unmarried sister in her marriage secrets. If the news got out, would Rongchang's reputation be ruined?

Chen Xinghe hurriedly arranged for people to carry Aunt Lijiao to the side courtyard, and asked the servants to quickly leave the house and go to the bowling hall to find a doctor to take a look.

He was also full of worries. Beating Lijiao Auntie would be like hitting the face of the clan house. If the matter got out of hand, how could the clan house let Duan Ning go? His Highness was weak to begin with. What if he was punished to kneel before his ancestors? Would he lose his life if he wasn't careful?

If all else fails, then pull out the Seventh Princess to take over? Anyway, her reputation is already so strong, and with the Emperor openly backing her up, if the Imperial Clan House and Princess Rongchang were to fight to the death, it's not certain who would be the one to be killed!

But he was afraid that Duan Ning would not be willing! He knew his wife, although she was weak, she had a bottom line and never wanted to implicate innocent people.

Alas, what can we do?

This guy is not a very genuine gentleman. In such a short period of time, his mind seems to have gone through a hundred and twenty bends, and at each bend there is a fierce sister-in-law squatting.

He knew that as long as the favored Princess Rongchang was willing to take the lead, his princess would be safe. But how could he please this living king of hell?

Just when he was getting anxious in his mansion, Jiang Chengbo finally found his master in the camp outside Beijing after great effort, and successfully passed on the news that Princess Rongchang was going out to meet someone.

Shen Mufeng jumped on the saddle and galloped away.

The Jiang brothers watched the horse galloping away and hurriedly whipped their whips to catch up. It was supposed to take nearly an hour and a half, but they stopped their horses in front of the gate of Jinglingbo Mansion in less than an hour.

"Master, I'll go knock on the door!"

Jiang Chengtao's dark face was glowing with a dark light at this moment, and he was filled with a huge rage towards the emboldened Jingling Earl's Mansion.

Are the Chen family members blind? Anyone with eyes in the court, whether civil or military, knows that the General's Mansion has intentions towards Princess Rongchang.

How dare they snatch food from a tiger's mouth? Humph!

The tall, sturdy man came to the door with a weapon and a dark face, which scared the timid doorman. Isn't it said that servants usually follow their masters? The soldiers are incompetent and the generals are incompetent.

The gatekeeper of Jingling Marquis's mansion rushed back to report tremblingly.

"My Lord, something bad has happened. General Shen is here to visit us!"
