The clingy concubine ran away, and the sickly prince lost control.

Pei Shiyuan's cool and aloof expression was now clouded with icy frost.

"I won't give birth, Mother. You should adopt Heng'er instead." Pei Shiyuan rolled his wheelchair out on his own.

Luo Qingyan followed, but was stopped by the old lady: "Aunt Luo, you stay."

Just a moment ago she was all sweet and gentle, but now her tone is cold and menacing as she calls me "Aunt Luo".

"The young master doesn't care much about having children, but you must hurry, Aunt Luo." The old lady resumed her usual cold and stern demeanor.

One-sided efforts won't work! She's already reached the point where she can do it herself. If Pei Shiyuan doesn't vomit blood, they'll succeed on the first night.

Unfortunately, she vomited blood. But she couldn't just ignore the person's life or death, so she continued!

She tried her best, but she didn't give up and is still working hard.

Of course, I'm in a hurry. I can't wait to have one. A mother's status will rise with her son, and her life will be better and more secure.

"I know, and I will certainly do my best to bear a son for the Prince. But the Prince has always been very resistant to having children. Madam, could you please tell me the reason?"

The old lady blinked: "He doesn't want his child to be born without a father. But doesn't he realize that continuing the bloodline is a major matter? Even if he can't watch the child grow up, the Duke's mansion will raise the child well and nurture him. If there are no offspring, I wonder how he will face the Duke in the afterlife, and I will have no face to meet the ancestors of the Pei family."

Out of selfishness, she also hoped that her son would give birth to a grandson.

If something were to happen to Yuan'er, her grandson could still be her support.

But Yuan'er is just so stubborn, she won't listen to anything I say.

The old lady gazed at Luo Qingyan's pretty profile; "I think there are always exceptions. The young master is willing to keep you, so there must be something special about you. I hope you can change his mind."

Pei Shiyuan doesn't want his child to be fatherless, and it's not impossible that finding a miracle doctor could save him.

Thinking of the divine doctor, Luo Qingyan felt a bit of a headache. She prayed that the divine doctor would appear at Nanshan Yayuan.

"I understand."

Luo Qingyan rolled her eyes. In any case, she had to convince Pei Shiyuan to have a child first, as this was a very important goal in her life.

"Go down!"

Luo Qingyan had just returned to Linfeng Residence when Zheng Mama arrived, followed by four maids carrying things.

"Aunt Luo, this is a gift from the old lady."

Four maids placed the items down one by one, filling the eight-immortal table to the brim.

"Thank you for your generous gift, Madam."

Luo Qingyan had just noticed that the old lady had been keeping a stern face, and she hadn't expected her to give so many rewards all at once.

"The old lady said that it's good that Consort Luo spoke up for justice, but she should not interfere in the affairs of the second branch of the family in the future. Her most important task is to serve the young master and give birth to an heir," said Granny Zheng.

"Thank you for your advice, Madam. These are some pastries I just made, please take some to try."

Luo Qingyan escorted Zheng Mama all the way to the door.

"Please wait, Auntie."

The old lady always had Zheng Mama relay her rewards and praises. That old-fashioned lady, can't she be a little more approachable?

With so many rewards, the old lady must be pleased because she rebuked Madam Qian.

Luo Qingyan opened a box and saw it was full of silver, a total of five hundred taels. She would deposit it into the bank later.

The rest are fabrics and jewelry, which can also be quite valuable.

She couldn't let the old lady down, since she valued her so much.

Luo Qingyan turned around and rummaged through the bedside table to find that hidden little medicine bottle again. She had only used a little bit last time, and there was still a lot left.

Now, Pei Shiyuan eats her medicinal meals every day, his appetite has improved a lot, especially the plum and almond cake, and he has more energy than before. Although the old lady doesn't praise him verbally, she can tell that she has a high opinion of her.

Thinking of this, Luo Qingyan became bolder. This time she could increase the dosage and try to get things done.

Even if they discover something amiss, they probably won't blame her too much.

It's settled then.

"What? Luo Qingyan received a reward?" Inside the Meteor Residence, Cui Rou slammed her hand on the table.

"The old lady is urging Concubine Luo to get pregnant as soon as possible." Ginkgo looked down at Cui Rou's expression.

"No, I have to go find my aunt. Who is she closer to? I'm her own niece!" Cui Rou said, putting her hands on her hips as she walked out.

"Miss, you can't stop this. Aunt Luo is here to leave a seed. If you try to stop her, are you going to have a child for the young master?" Yinxing said.

Miss is troubled by love; it's a cruel twist of fate. The young master is so ill that his lifelong marriage is ruined.

"I...I don't want to give birth." Cui Rou stopped in her tracks, her eyes already red. "But I...I can't bear to part with Brother Yuan."

He then walked quickly forward.

As soon as Cui Rou stepped into Yi An Ju, she heard the old lady's laughter.

Since my brother Yuan fell ill a year ago, I haven't seen my aunt smile.

Has the Crown Prince agreed to consummate his marriage with Consort Luo?

Cui Rou bit her lip.

"Qian's face was as red as a pufferfish."

A soft chuckle followed.

"Madam, I never expected Aunt Luo to have such a sharp tongue."

"Exactly, I guess she encountered a lot of difficult people while working odd jobs at the clinic, which is how she developed that skill."

Hearing the old lady and Zheng Mama chatting and laughing, Cui Rou's chest heaved with anger:

"It's Luo Qingyan again. She's quite good at making Auntie happy. Humph, she doesn't believe that Luo Qingyan can compare to her in Auntie's heart."

Taking a deep breath to calm herself, Cui Rou smiled and entered the old lady's room: "Aunt."

Her voice was sweet and coquettish.

The old lady immediately stopped smiling. Cui Rou disliked Luo Qingyan, so she decided not to talk to her anymore.

"Rou'er, is something the matter?"

Can't I come if there's nothing wrong? They were chatting and laughing just now, but they became serious when they saw me. Cui Rou's heart sank, but she still forced a smile on her face.

"Rou'er is fine, she just misses her aunt."

As she spoke, Cui Rou took the old lady's arm and leaned closer to her.

The old lady patted Cui Rou's hand and comforted her, "Rou'er, you should go and persuade Yuan'er to marry you."

She still hoped for a marriage alliance between Cui and Pei.

"Brother Keyuan is so cold to me. Does he like that Aunt Luo and not me anymore?" Cui Rou pouted, feeling wronged.

"No, Luo Qingyan is just a concubine. Only you are qualified to be the legal wife. Since you want to marry, then go for it. Maybe Yuan'er will agree." The old lady said that Cui Rou agreed to marry, but Yuan'er disagreed.

She knew Pei Shiyuan's temper; he was difficult to persuade and had been stubborn since childhood.

It's really a headache.

I knew it! In her aunt's heart, her position was definitely insurmountable for Luo Qingyan.

"Aunt, why doesn't Brother Yuan want to get married? I said I would marry him, but he treated me even worse."

Cui Rou felt that agreeing to the marriage was already a huge sacrifice, but Pei Shiyuan showed no gratitude for her feelings and instead treated her even worse.

"Sigh, it's not that he's targeting you, it's just that he doesn't want to have any offspring." Pei Shiyuan had been delaying consummating his marriage with Luo Qingyan, and she had already pressed him for the reason.

"How can we face the Duke and the ancestors of the Pei family if we don't leave behind any offspring?"

The old lady looked up at the sky.

It seems that Aunt is determined to have Yuan-gege leave an heir, but Yuan-gege does not want to leave an heir, which coincides with her opinion.

She only wanted to preserve her love with Yuan-gege. As for children, she didn't want any, otherwise she would have difficulty remarrying and would have to remain a widow in the Duke's mansion for the rest of her life.

But she had to appease her aunt. If Luo Qingyan could make her aunt happy, so could she. She lowered her eyes, a sinister glint in them, then looked up with pitiful eyes: "Aunt, my feelings for Brother Yuan are as clear as day. If I could leave behind a son or daughter, it would be the greatest blessing of my life."

She wanted to talk things out with Pei Shiyuan and agree to marry him, not for the sake of having children, but for love.

I think Yuan-gege will accept her and stay away from that shameless Luo Qingyan who stares at him all day long, wanting to have his offspring.

Leaving seeds, leaving seeds, aren't you ashamed?

Without feelings, there will be no sensation during the consummation of marriage.
