Uncle (17)

"Second sister, be careful with your words. It's not easy to say such things."

Even Wan Siqing, who was always calm in the face of things, was a little calm this time. She tried hard to put away the expression on her face, bent down to pick up the handkerchief, and said to Wan Sihe:

"I'm afraid that my elder sister boiled other medicine, and my sister smelled it wrong."

"How could I say such a thing as a joke."

Seeing that her sister didn't believe her, Wan Sihe was a little anxious. She quickly pulled Wan Siqing's arm and said softly:

"Don't worry. Apart from my aunt and you, I didn't even tell the most intimate maid a word about this matter. I'm not a fool. If this matter gets out, it will not only damage her reputation, but also ours."

Wan Siqing exhaled deeply and closed her eyes.

"Big sister...lives in this yard, how exactly..."

"I don't know, but we don't have many relatives of the same age. Even if there is, they won't come to the backyard. I'm afraid if there is, it must be from outside."

Wan Sihe pulled her and said, "I know you don't dare to believe it. I'm not telling you this to do anything, but just to make you more cautious and keep a bottom line in your heart. After all, if it's true, it's fine if it passes quietly. If it gets out, we sisters will be implicated by her."

Speaking of this, Wan Sihe's tone has a little more resentment. Knowing that only Wan Siqing is here, she can also talk about her resentment openly.

"In the mansion, any good thing always belongs to the eldest sister, and any bad thing belongs to you and me. That's fine, because my mother is the one in charge, and I'm a concubine. I can only comfort myself and keep quiet. When I get married, I can at least be the mistress of the house. But she made such a fuss again. If this matter is disclosed, it will implicate the whole mansion."

She should be resentful. She has been quiet for so many years and finally got what she wanted. But Wan Siyuan did this again.

Wan Sihe was so angry that she kept pulling the handkerchief in her hand: "If it was just her, it would be fine, but she didn't think about it. If she did this, you, me, herself, her father, her mother, and even her brother would be looked down upon by others."

Wan Siqing also knew it.

If Wan Siyuan really got pregnant before marriage, and this matter was exposed, her marriage with her second sister might not go smoothly. Although the eldest brother is young now, his marriage in the future will also be affected.

As long as it goes out of the Wan Mansion, Lord Wan will be known for not teaching his daughter well, and Madam Wan will be ridiculed. No one in the mansion can escape this.

Quickly going over this matter in his mind, Wan Siqing put the handkerchief on the table again, his voice still light and clear.

"I'm afraid this matter can't be concealed."

Wan Sihe was shocked: "What do you mean?"

Wan Siqing nodded; "Second sister, you have never paid much attention to the affairs of the eldest sister, but you can still notice it, which shows that she didn't cover it up carefully. Whether it's grandmother or aunt, anyone with a little eye in the mansion will probably know about this matter."

Lord Wan may not know, but if Madam Wan knows, isn't it equivalent to Lord Wan knowing it?

She continued, "If the elder sister had kept it a secret, or had found a way to get medicine to abort the child, she might have kept it a secret, but she not only didn't keep it a secret, but she also got medicine to preserve the pregnancy."

"Let's not talk about anything else, just talking about the medicine to preserve the pregnancy, the elder sister didn't call a doctor, where did the medicine come from? Someone has to get it, right? If the medicine is got, it has to be boiled, right? It's impossible for the elder sister to do it alone, so the maid next to her will do it."

Wan Siqing's clear eyebrows were filled with a hint of sadness: "The maid boiled the medicine, and the medicine smells strong. How could other servants not ask when they see it? Even if this maid knew the inside story and refused to say it, they would only speculate more fiercely. Let's not talk about anything else, just the unknown origin of this medicine is enough for many servants in the mansion to speculate."

When she was young, she suffered from the servants, and she knew that even if she was the master, the servants' indentures were all in the mansion, and she couldn't underestimate these people.

When it comes to the source of information, the servants in the mansion know the most.

They are not like the girls in the mansion who are trapped in the yard and can go out whenever they want. Isn't it easy to pass the news out?

Wan Siqing's expression is a little heavy at this moment.

She slightly turned sideways and looked in the direction of the wedding dress that was just put in the box by the maid. There seemed to be a few tears in her eyes:

"Second sister, you will pretend that you don't know about this matter in the future. No matter what happens, pretend to be deaf and blind."

After hearing her words, Wan Sihe felt cold all over.

She originally thought that although this matter was difficult to handle, it was fortunate that it had not been spread out. She didn't expect it to have reached this point.

For a moment, Wan Sihe could not suppress the hatred in her heart, and she almost tore the handkerchief in her hand into pieces:

"How could she do this! She doesn't care about her face, she doesn't care about her life, she has been raised in the mansion, her father and mother love her so much, can't she think about her parents!!"

Even if she is really pregnant, she should at least cover it up. She showed everything directly and carelessly, as if she wanted others to know that she was pregnant.

What is she thinking? ? ?

Wan Siqing didn't say anything until Wan Sihe had finished venting, and then she asked softly, "Sister, you said before that since His Royal Highness Yao Wang met me in the temple that day, he asked to marry me. Do you think he would still marry me if the elder sister's affair was exposed?"

Wan Sihe was silent.

It's really hard to say.

People in the world pay attention to reputation. Generally, if a girl in the family has a bad reputation, the reputation of other girls will also become bad.

It's not uncommon for girls to do things that ruin the family tradition, and the sisters who were implicated in the end were either broken off or couldn't find a marriage.

After all, they are officials, and in the end, some of them even married merchants.

Although it is said that after these girls get married, their offspring will generally not be implicated, but it is hard to guarantee that some families will think that if this family can teach a girl with bad character, how can they guarantee that the character of other girls is still good?

They can only stop the loss in time.

She was silent for a while, and seeing Wan Siqing's expression also dimmed, she quickly forced a smile to comfort him: "Don't worry, third sister, the prince is not the kind of person who believes everything he hears. Big sister is big sister, you are you, he has a good character, and naturally he will not abandon you just because of big sister."

"Besides, this marriage has already been asked for His Majesty's marriage."

Wan Siqing was fine listening to her comfort, but when she heard His Majesty's marriage, the light in her eyes dimmed again.

What she feared most was that His Royal Highness Yao Wang didn't want to marry her, but had to marry her because of this marriage decree.

If that happened, Wan Siqing could almost foresee her own fate.

But, she was still unwilling.

This was the first time that someone said he liked her, asked to marry her, and became her fiancé.

She had also thought that when she got married, she would get along well with her husband, treat him as an equal, respect him and love him, and live a good life together.

But who could have thought that this kind of thing would happen again.

The two sisters didn't say anything more. Wan Sihe was not in a good mood. After all, although she and her fiancé always met and believed that they had a friendship, she had not married yet. She was still worried that Wan Siyuan's marriage would change.

Wan Siqing sent Wan Sihe out. When she came back, she was not in the mood to sew wedding clothes. She sat by the window, dazed.

A little girl who had been transferred to her side not long ago looked at her for a long time, until the evening, when the people who served Wan Siqing were left, and the girls could disperse.

The little girl ran straight to the gatehouse, handed a note to the gatehouse's servant, and then went back.

That night, Duan Qingen received news about Wan Siqing's mood report.

Just seeing that Wan Siqing had been in a low mood since sending Wan Sihe away, and was not sewing wedding clothes like before, nor practicing calligraphy and reading books, and even threw away chopsticks after eating a few bites, he roughly guessed something.

Duan Qingen knew that Wan Siyuan was pregnant, and even the doctor who felt Wan Siyuan's pulse was his man.

Of course, her pregnancy was real, and the doctor was real.

But even he didn't expect that Wan Siyuan didn't even try to hide it, and just made a soup to nourish the fetus in her yard.

I'm afraid that in the heart of this reborn person, the status of imperial power is far greater than people say, as if she has a dragon seed in her belly, so she doesn't have to be afraid of anything.

It doesn't seem so shameful for an unmarried woman to be pregnant.

Duan Qingen could roughly guess what Wan Siyuan was thinking. According to her brain circuit, she probably thought that she would be taken into the palace by the emperor if she was pregnant, and according to the "deep love" between the two of them during this time, the emperor would certainly take good care of her, and she had a dragon seed, so she naturally didn't have to worry about her life in the palace.

As for the reputation of her parents and her sisters at home, these were not in Wan Siyuan's head.

Duan Qingen put the note on the candle flame, and watched the flame burn it to the end before letting go and throwing it on the ground.

Dexi had been grinding ink beside him all the time. He had practiced it these days. Seeing his master doing this, he whispered:

"Master, are you going out?"

After all, every time Duan Qingen burned a note these days, it meant that he was going out.

"Yes, I'm going out, but not now."

Duan Qingen slowly sat back in his wheelchair and smiled at Dexi: "You make arrangements. Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival. I'm going out. Send a message to the Wan Mansion, saying that I want to meet my fiancée."

At least, he had to comfort his little fiancée.

By the way, he dug another pit for the emperor.

Doesn't the emperor like to do this kind of "prying corner" surprise activities?

Now a little corner popped out of the corner's belly.

He must be very surprised.
