He thought that what he said would shock Su Qingci, make her angry and sad, and even make her rush out to confront Lu Huan.

But he didn't expect that her trust in Lu Huan far exceeded his imagination.

Su Qingci lowered his head and sneered slightly. Not only was he not angry, he also did not refute.

It was even like he didn't care. Maybe that's not right. It's not that he didn't care, but that he didn't believe what he said at all.

"Are you finished?"

She said with a smile and ease, "I'm leaving now that I'm done."

Yan Xuanye's heart suddenly stopped.

Unexpectedly, she trusted Lu Huan so much.

Such trust made the resentment and jealousy in his heart accumulate to an extreme.

"You just believe him? Even if what I told you is the truth."

"Yes," she answered quickly.

"Ah."

"It doesn't matter if you don't believe me. One day you will believe what I say. Because... no matter how many pregnancy pills you drink, you can't get pregnant with his child."

"If you become suspicious, go check the medicine residue yourself and you will know whether what I said is true."

Su Qingci stood up, too lazy to say anything more to him: "Whatever you say, I'm leaving."

"Lu Huan went to so much trouble to marry you and tried so hard to prevent you from getting pregnant. Don't you suspect anything?"

Yan Xuanye's voice sounded behind her, and the words he said made her body tremble.

Seeing her stop where she was, Yan Xuanye continued, "Su Qingci, have you ever thought about whether Lu Huan really loves you and why he wanted to marry you?"

"It has nothing to do with you." She said coldly and walked towards the entrance of the cave.

……

Su Qingci returned to the banquet.

Lu Huan asked, "Why did you take so long?"

Su Qingci: "I met a mad dog."

Lu Huan noticed that Su Qingci looked a little strange, and Su Qingci also realized that his emotions were a little out of control, so he smiled at Lu Huan and said, "I'm fine, don't worry."

Lu Huan didn't say anything, but looked across the crowd and happened to see Yan Xuanye sitting down.

How could it be such a coincidence that Su Qingci just returned to the banquet and Yan Xuanye took his seat right after that?

Lu Huan felt vaguely uneasy.

Yan Xuanye was also looking at Su Qingci, and when he saw Lu Huan looking over there, their eyes met.

Seeing this, Yan Xuanye smiled provocatively, then took out the handkerchief from Su Qingci's pocket and pretended to wipe his hands, but in fact he was deliberately showing it to Lu Huan.

Lu Huan's eyes flickered as he recognized that the handkerchief belonged to Su Qingci.

Could it be that... they just met? Or did Yan Xuanye go to find Su Qingci on purpose? What on earth was going on?

……

As soon as he returned to the manor, Lu Huan couldn't wait to ask the question in his mind, "Did you meet Yan Xuanye today?"

Su Qingci was stunned and wanted to refute, but then he thought that since Lu Huan asked this, he must have discovered something wrong, and he could no longer hide it.

So how did she start? "I was on my way back to the banquet after changing my clothes when he pulled me into a cave."

Lu Huan panicked and asked hurriedly, "Did he do anything to you?"

Su Qingci shook his head: "He didn't do anything to me."

"Then why did he take you to the cave?" Lu Huan said this not because he doubted her, but because he was worried.

Su Qingci: "He told me something and then let me go."

"what?"

"He told me that the bowl of medicine you asked me to drink every day was not an ordinary pregnancy-maintaining medicine..."

When Lu Huan heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and he had already guessed the result.

"He said, 'It's the birth control pill.'

When Su Qingci said this, he had been looking into Lu Huan's eyes. He saw that his eyelashes trembled suddenly and his eyes were a little erratic, as if he was guilty.

I also have my own guesses in my mind.

Lu Huan held her in his arms, "Do you believe it?"

Su Qingci shook his head: "No."

"I don't believe him, I only believe you."

Lu Huan was deeply touched and couldn't bear to keep it in the dark with her any longer.

"Why do you believe me so much?"

Su Qingci nestled in his arms obediently and sighed softly, "If I don't trust you, who else can I trust?"

"Yan Xuanye?"

He is just a mad dog. He wants to bite her when he sees her and barks at her. He is the kind of mad dog that only obeys him if he is chained up. He is very annoying.

"You are my husband, so I will naturally believe what you say," she said.

Husband... Lu Huan stroked her hair and said softly, "If I lied to you, would you be angry?"

Su Qingci: "...I will be a little disappointed, but not angry."

She always felt that Lu Huan would not treat her like that, and he would not plot against her for no reason.

After spending these days together, Lu Huan was really good to her. For example, he reminded her not to dress too gorgeously when she was going out this morning. Even though it was a small matter, he took it to heart and reminded her.

Therefore, she was willing to believe him, and before she was completely disappointed in him, she was willing to give him a chance and believe in him.

Lu Huan: "Actually...what you drink every night is not a pregnancy-preserving medicine."

"It's the birth control pill."

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Lu Huan was a little surprised, "Aren't you surprised?"

"I saw it when I saw that your face looked strange just now."

Su Qingci's voice was extremely cold, and Lu Huan's heart suddenly panicked, fearing that she would be disappointed in him.

He wrapped his arms around her tighter and tighter, holding her tightly in his arms, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you."

"I specially asked a highly respected imperial physician to prescribe this medicine. It has no effect on your body, so you can rest assured."

Su Qingci didn't care about these, she just wanted to know why he did this.

"Why are you doing this?"

Lu Huan calmed down and said slowly, "Now is not a good time to get pregnant."

"The girl next door was eyeing us covetously. My mother was killed by her when she was giving birth to her second child."

"She has been married to my father for nearly ten years and has never had any children. If you get pregnant, she will definitely feel resentful and then... maybe she will attack you."

Su Qingci could even hear the trembling in his voice, "We have not yet settled the issue with Fengyuan Kingdom, and Yan Xuanye's army is outside, eyeing us covetously. The situation in the court is also unstable, and the rebel forces are ready to make a move. I am afraid that one day I will have to lead troops to fight."

"When the time comes, you will be pregnant and stay in the mansion, and Gao Jiarong will be next door. I will be worried..."

"I'm afraid you'll be like my mother...so I don't want you to get pregnant."

He buried his head in Su Qingci's shoulder, as if he was too ashamed to see her. He didn't dare to raise his head, and his body trembled slightly as he held her in his arms.

She begged with a tight voice, "Qingci, please don't blame me."

"Okay?"
