The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 310 How embarrassing!

The Prince of Yan also played a part in Yao's rise to the position of Minister of Justice.

"Later, when the Yan family got into trouble, her identity became a hot potato. Lord Yao was a notorious snob and wanted to distance himself from her, fearing that he would be implicated."

On this side, the Minister of Justice was particularly concerned about his reputation and image.

After all, there were so many people there.

He seemed to dote on his daughter, but there was no warmth in his eyes as he helped Yao Ru walk for a while.

Everyone says he's a good father.

But while he appeared affectionate, he was whispering something else entirely.

"Of all the children, you're the most troublesome. You've always had a bad temper because of Yan... that family spoiled you, to the point that you've become arrogant and don't care about us anymore."

"Putting everything else aside, back then, I, as your father, did more than enough to make you marry the Second Prince."

The Minister of Justice truly believes this!

That's the emperor's son!

The Yao family had so many daughters, yet the Second Prince ultimately chose Yao Ru.

Can also understand.

Yao Ru was personally taught by the Princess Consort of Yan and was groomed to be the Crown Prince's consort. Not only was she skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, but she was also adept at managing the household and handling domestic affairs.

"Your brother's child, your nephew Han'er, is going to be sent to school for his early education."

"Your mother has been heartbroken and stressed these past few days because of your situation."

“Your younger sisters are all getting married soon, but look at you! You behaved improperly in the palace and were punished by the matron. You've really disgraced the Yao family. As the eldest daughter of the Yao family, it's one thing for you not to set an example, but how are your younger sisters supposed to behave?”

Lord Yao looked very kind and pulled Yao Ru's clothes up to keep her warm. He finally got to the point: "A married daughter is like water spilled from a cup. Whether she can live a good life depends on her own abilities. Now that you have given birth to a son and are managing the Second Prince's residence, you must be very busy. Except for holidays, you don't need to rush home on ordinary days."

Xunzhu was astonished.

What does it mean to have one's own abilities?
The second prince was never the kind of boy a girl wanted to marry!

It was the Yao family who begged for it despite the girl's wishes.

The second prince broke his leg, and the master felt that he was no longer capable, so he abandoned the girl as well.
The master's words sounded like he was considering the young lady's well-being, but in reality, they seemed like he was trying to distance himself from her.

Yao Ru was not surprised.

All the good fortune she had in her life vanished when the Yan family met with disaster.

She walked forward step by step, unsure whether the pain was more physical or emotional.

All she knew was that she had become a mother.

What will happen to the child if something goes wrong?

Yao Ru turned her head to look at Madam Yao beside her: "What about Mother? Does she think so too?"

Looking at her husband, who exuded authority even without anger, and then at her frail daughter, Madam Yao was overwhelmed with sorrow and burst into tears. After struggling to make a decision, she became evasive and hesitant.

"mother……"

“Ru’er, your father is right.”

"There are so many things going on at home, and you're going to have so many things to do too, this..."

A chill ran down my spine after searching for the pearl.

A woman's maternal family is her lifelong support.

She still remembers how, in order to persuade her daughter to agree to marry, the lady kept saying, "Of all my children, you are the one I love the most."

It is clear that it is only good when you need to use a girl, or when you need to suck her blood.

Yao Ru smiled.

"understood."

She twitched the corner of her mouth: "Father does want to distance himself from me, after all, you still want to send your half-sister to the Fifth Prince as a concubine."

Her tone was cold: "The Second Prince is no good as a son-in-law, so Father has to find someone else to rely on. If he continues to have ties with me, what will the Fifth Prince think?"

Yao Ru is not actually weak-willed, but he cares less and is unwilling to argue. Why would he be afraid of the Minister of Justice?
"My second sister is married, and my fifth sister is still young. That leaves my third and fourth sisters."

"Third sister has a bad temper and doesn't act prudently. If she goes to the Fifth Prince's residence, will the Fifth Prince's wife tolerate her? She probably won't even know how she died."

"Fourth sister is soft-hearted and timid. She's also not very pretty. Father, do you think she can help you?"

Yao Ru: "That's absurd."

The Minister of Justice's expression darkened, and he released her hand, no longer pretending to help her up.

He released her too quickly, and she lurched forward. Yao Ru's steps faltered, and she almost fell. Fortunately, her maid, Xun Zhu, caught her quickly.

But she was too weak, and half of her body was leaning on Xunzhu.

Although Xunzhu was a maid, personal maids don't do physical labor, and she had been helping out of the city for a long time before, which was already tiring.

"Give."

At this moment, Xiao Huaiyan pushed Wei Zhao over, his arrogant demeanor as a young master from a prominent family written all over his face.

"Lord Yao, you're blocking our way."

"You stopped for no reason. If you were to crash into someone, it would be a small matter if you were hurt at your age, but what if you injured Wei Zhao? How would you compensate me?" Anyone with a brain can see that this is deliberately picking a fight.

But some people are brainless.

Ning Yunling: "What!"

Ning Yunling angrily said, "He's trying to extort my brother!"

Yu Tingwan's lips twitched.

The Minister of Justice stiffened slightly upon seeing the person in the wheelchair and stepped aside to let him pass.

"Young Master Xiao is joking."

Xiao Huaiyan ignored him and pushed Wei Zhao forward.

Yu Tingwan, however, slowed down her pace.

Her gaze swept over Yao Ru and her servants, unable to bear the sight.

"Tan Jiang, go and help the Second Prince's Consort."

Tan Jiang: "Yes."

Yao Ru was taken aback and quickly thanked him.

Yu Tingwan said slowly, "They say that childbirth is like passing through the gates of hell for a woman."

That one sentence stunned Yao Ruwei.

However, she didn't think much of it. After all, Yu Tingwan was already a married woman and would have children sooner or later. She had just given birth, so it was only natural for her to say these things.

Yu Tingwan said in the most ordinary tone.

"The doctors in the place where I used to live weren't very skilled. Every household was poor, and let alone going to the clinic to get medicine to prevent miscarriage, they could hardly get enough nutrition. They still had to work in the fields, busy while heavily pregnant."

"Therefore, there are cases of mother and child dying together, and cases of the child dying in the womb. The midwife would often come out anxiously and ask whether to save the mother or the child."

She turned her head: "It must be different here in the capital. The Second Prince's wife had a smooth delivery, right?"

With Tan Jiang supporting her, Yao Ru didn't need to exert any effort at all, and was clearly much more relaxed: "I'm fine."

Xunzhu was grateful and wanted to say something, but swallowed it down.

Tan Jiang: "No."

Tan Jiang: "Madam is unaware that the Second Prince's wife's pregnancy was unstable and she almost had an accident."

Yu Tingwan pretended not to know.

She covered her mouth with a handkerchief in surprise: "That's scary."

Then, she changed the subject.

"Fortunately, the Second Prince's wife has parents who value you so much."

"Lord Yao was worried and kept supporting you, although..."

Yu Tingwan paused, then said, "I don't know why she suddenly let go. I guess it's because she's getting old and it's becoming too strenuous."

Yu Tingwan: "Madam Yao's eyes are still red, which really touched me."

"When the Second Prince's wife gave birth, didn't the two of you drop everything you were doing and rush to wait outside the delivery room as soon as you heard the news? With your family there, you felt more secure giving birth inside, didn't you?"

She said it as if it were just a casual remark.

Tan Jiang: "No, that's not it."

Tan Jiang: "Madam, you don't know, back then no one from the Yao family went there."

Yu Tingwan said quietly, "Impossible."

Tan Jiang: "It's true, it's all over the place. When the Second Prince's wife was in confinement, no one from the Yao family went to the Second Prince's residence to see her."

Yu Tingwan seemed surprised.

She was at a loss.

The girl is innocent.

"This……"

"I'm sorry, I talked too much."

She looked at the Yao couple with her clear eyes: "You're so embarrassed."

small theater

Grand Tutor Gu, who was keeping a close eye on Yu Tingwan, sent someone to inquire about how the young lady and the Yao family were chatting and laughing together.
His men leaned closer and listened in. They then informed the people in front.

"Our young lady is discussing childbirth with the Second Prince's wife."

The message was passed up the chain of command, and it was successful.

"Our girl is going to have a child for General Wei."

It came to the ears of Grand Tutor Gu.

"Master! Our young lady is pregnant!"
