Chapter 176 He definitely won't sleep in the study, unless it's two people together.
Cheng Yan coaxed her repeatedly until she calmed down, then carried her into the dormitory to take a shower. When they came out, he even diligently dried her hair.
Qin Yizhen wasn't picky about food or daily necessities, but she was extremely clean. She had to take a bath every day, and she felt uncomfortable if she didn't take a bath after going out. If he didn't take a bath, she wouldn't let him touch her.
My hair needs to be washed every two or three days, and if I sweat, I should wash it on the same day.
Qin Yizhen held a white porcelain bottle containing medicine and poured the pills into her palm. The small brown pills were only the size of small beans. She picked one up and smelled it; it didn't have much of a smell.
"Will this medicine have any adverse effects on your health?"
Qin Yizhen only knew that women who ate contraceptive soup would suffer from health problems, and that if they ate too much, they would have difficulty getting pregnant in the future. She had never seen a man eat it.
This is truly the first time I've ever seen anything like it; I can't believe he did something like this.
No wonder Mr. Hu's answer today was so vague, saying something like, "When the time is right and your health improves, it will happen naturally."
So they were in cahoots.
Qin Yizhen snorted again and glared at him as she turned around.
"Of course it's fine," Cheng Yan assured him. He just didn't want children for the time being, not that he wanted to die out his lineage. How could he possibly take any problematic medicine?
“After taking it for a few days, I went to see Mr. Hu again. I went to see him every few days, so there should be no problem.”
Qin Yizhen breathed a sigh of relief when she heard him say that. The child hadn't even been born yet, and if the man couldn't perform, she would be devastated.
Thinking of this, Qin Yizhen put the pills back into the medicine bottle, put the stopper back in, and handed it to him.
"Give it back to me?"
"Yeah, what would I keep it for if I didn't return it? Do you think I can eat it all myself or something?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Yan quickly put the medicine bottle away: "Medicine shouldn't be taken indiscriminately. This isn't something you should take. I'll keep it."
Qin Yizhen glared at him, took the towel from his hand that was drying his hair, and asked him, "Then let me ask you, when can we have a child?"
Even if he feels that she is not in good health right now and it is not suitable for her to have a child, there must be a time, right?
Cheng Yan hesitated for a moment.
Qin Yizhen had been watching him closely and could clearly see his expression. She immediately understood: "What? Could it be that you've never wanted a child?"
"No, that's not it." Cheng Yan wiped his face, looking somewhat embarrassed.
He's a thick-skinned guy, even thicker-skinned than a man, yet he's actually embarrassed. Qin Yizhen became even more curious: "Tell me your reasons carefully. If your reasons are reasonable, I'll agree. If they're not, don't even think about it."
Cheng Yan coughed, glanced around, and seeing that no one was around, he lowered his head and kissed her ear. Finally, he bit her earlobe.
Qin Yizhen shuddered as he bit her, her face turning red.
Seeing her blush, Cheng Yan couldn't help but laugh: "You're still so easily embarrassed. We haven't been intimate for very long. It's not good to have a child too early, is it? Does my wife not like being close to me?"
Qin Yi truly understood what he meant. He probably wanted to enjoy his intimacy with her and didn't want to have a child too soon. After all, once he had a child, he would have to take care of the child, and he estimated that he would have to endure it for a long time.
Qin Yizhen blushed even more, and she covered her ears with her hands: "I don't like it, I don't like it..."
"Really?" Cheng Yan raised an eyebrow, lightly tapping her waist with his finger, looking at her teasingly. "Wife, husband and wife should be more honest with each other. You didn't say that when you were in bed..."
What kind of talk is this.
Qin Yizhen pushed him angrily: "You should leave now, go and tell someone to set the table. Don't bother me again, or I'll be sleeping in the study tonight."
Thinking about how he rushed to the dormitory as soon as he got back, and how the couple had been fooling around until now without even having dinner, everyone in the courtyard who takes care of them knows what they've been up to.
Qin Yizhen could already foresee the way those people would look at her.
"It's all your fault."
Having taken advantage of her as much as she could, Cheng Yan was happy to indulge her and not hold it against her. He went to the side room to find some clothes to change into before going out to have someone set the table.
I definitely won't sleep in the study, unless it's with another person.
If it were two people sleeping together... he would be quite willing to try it.
It's just a pity that his wife is both proud and shy, so she probably wouldn't be willing.
How can I coax her into agreeing?
Qin Yi had no idea that his mind was full of such thoughts. If she had known, she would have made him sleep in the study for a couple of days to calm him down and prevent his mind from being filled with such romantic notions.
When it was time to eat, Qin Yizhen held a bowl of fish soup and drank some, but after a couple of sips she frowned and didn't really want to drink anymore.
Qin Yizhen loves to eat fish. Fish meat, fish soup, fish balls, and fish noodles are all her favorites. She loves the freshness and aroma. However, the fish soup had been simmering on the stove for too long today, which greatly reduced its freshness and aroma. It didn't taste quite right.
Knowing her tastes, Granny Gui saw that she frowned after taking two bites, so she quickly brought her a bowl of eight-treasure porridge: "This was made by the kitchen earlier. The beans are cooked until they are soft, and it tastes just right. Princess, please have some."
"Have another bowl of red date, white fungus and bird's nest soup, and that will be enough for today. If you are still hungry, today's snacks are also good. Princess, have two pieces."
Qin Yizhen thought about it and realized that this was the only way.
Cheng Yan wasn't picky about food; as long as the taste wasn't great and it filled her stomach, that was fine. However, seeing that she wasn't eating well, he said, "Didn't you say you wanted to choose a maid? Find one who can cook. If she gets hungry, you can have her make a couple of dishes in the small kitchen."
“That won’t do.” Qin Yizhen shook her head. “I’ve discussed it with Granny Jin, and we need someone who knows medicine.”
"How about we add another maid or a cook to the courtyard? Then you and I can just have someone cook here."
That makes some sense, Qin Yizhen nodded: "Then I'll let Granny Jin choose one."
"By the way, Lüqiao, how is things at the Marquis of Changyang's residence today? Has Miss Min returned to the Min family?"
“I’ve gone back.” Lü Qiao replied immediately. “Lady Changting accompanied Lady Min back to the Min family earlier. Lady He came by to tell us what happened. Hearing that the princess was resting, she sat for a while, talked to me, and then left.”
"Madam Min demanded 200,000 taels of compensation, of which 100,000 taels would be the property of the Marquis of Changyang. The Marquis of Changyang naturally disagreed, and in the end, they only asked for 50,000 taels."
"Only fifty thousand taels?" Qin Yizhen frowned.
"Yes, they asked for 50,000 taels. The Min family will not hold Pei Shizi accountable for what he did, but Aunt Yuan must die. Once Aunt Yuan gives birth to her child, she will not be able to live."
"Madam He said that the Min family is also quite satisfied with this matter."
"The reason for this outcome is not that the Min family insists on pursuing the matter or demanding that Aunt Yuan pay with her life, but rather that the Pei family is unwilling to use money to save Aunt Yuan's life. No matter what the fault is, it is the Pei family's fault. If Aunt Yuan has anyone to hate, she can only hate the Pei family."
