Chapter 289 Returning Home on the 3rd Day
At the Censor's Mansion, Guan Bao and his wife had been waiting for Xinrong for a long time.
However, Xinrong did not come for a long time, and Fu Jin paced anxiously in the corridor, looking around from time to time, fearing that some accident would happen again and ruin her daughter's return.
"Go out and ask why Xinrong hasn't come back yet?"
The servants who were sent out one after another said that it was quiet over there and there was no movement.
The more this happened, the more worried Fu Jin became.
Guan Bao sighed, "After all, the son-in-law can't come, so Xinrong can't not come back. Let's just wait patiently."
Fu Jin sighed and sat back down next to Guan Bao.
"Master, I'm telling you, I shouldn't have let Xinrong marry this bastard. He's already caused our Xinrong so much injustice right after we got married. If the Emperor hadn't punished him, I would have definitely not forgiven him when I came back today."
Guan Bao was also very troubled. Who could have thought that the Fifth Prince would act so foolishly again and again? He had never seen such a ridiculous and stupid person in all his years.
"Alright, the Emperor still cared about my old age and punished him severely. Let's just put this matter behind us."
Fu Jin sighed. She just hoped that Xinrong would get better. Once she gave birth to a child, Xinrong would have hope.
As he was speaking, a servant came quickly and reported that the young lady had gone out and was coming this way.
Fu Jin was delighted, "Great, can the uncle come with us?"
The boy shook his head.
Guan Bao waved his hand and ordered his men to leave, sneering.
"That bastard probably won't be able to get out of bed for a month, how could he possibly come?"
Fu Jin was embarrassed. How could she not know that Yongqi could not come, but she still hoped that he would come.
Such a scandal happened just after her wedding, and her husband didn't even accompany her when she returned home. Why is her Xinrong so miserable?
As soon as Xinrong got off the carriage, she saw a large group of people waiting in front of the door. They were all there to pick her up. She felt warm in her heart and decided to go home.
Sure enough, when she entered the door, she saw Fu Jin standing in the courtyard waiting for her. Xin Rong's nose was sore and she threw herself into Fu Jin's arms, "Mother!"
"Oh." Why did it feel like three years had passed even though Xinrong had only been married for three days? Fu Jin wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and took her into the house.
As usual, the guardian would ask about what had happened in the past few days.
Xinrong told everything without hiding anything.
When it came to the story of Xiaoyanzi coming to make trouble on the wedding day, even though they had heard about it from others, Guanbao and his wife were still very angry when they heard Xinrong say it again.
"Xinrong, you did a good job."
The act of slapping Xiaoyanzi was highly approved by Guanbao and his wife.
"This kind of woman, the first time she offends you, you should give her a little warning, otherwise she will think you are easy to bully."
Xinrong nodded and said, "Father, Mother, this is what Xinrong wanted to say when he came back. Please pair Xinrong with two maids who are good at martial arts. This way, Xinrong can be more careful about Xiaoyanzi."
"Xinrong has grown up and is so thoughtful." Guanbao was very pleased.
"That's easy. You can take her back later. But please don't take the initiative to harass her. We are girls from good families. We should be broad-minded and be able to accommodate a small concubine."
Xinrong nodded, she understood all of this.
After talking about what happened in the past few days and chatting for a while, Guanbao was very considerate and left time for the mother and daughter.
The two of them must have something private to say.
As expected, as soon as Guanbao left, Fu Jin took Xinrong to the inner room.
"Xinrong, tell Mother whether you and the Fifth Prince have not consummated your marriage yet."
Unexpectedly, her mother was so direct. Xinrong blushed, but she still said obediently, "He refused to consummate the marriage with me. In fact, I didn't want to consummate the marriage with him either. Besides, he was punished and couldn't get up the next day..."
When Fu Jin heard Xinrong say that she didn't want to consummate the marriage, she was obviously stunned. She didn't expect Xinrong to have such an idea.
"Why don't you want to consummate your marriage with the Fifth Prince?"
Xinrong blinked. "I don't like him, and he doesn't want to consummate the marriage with me. Do I have to keep him and beg him?"
Hearing this, Fu Jin smiled, knowing that her daughter was just throwing a tantrum.
This matter is all the fault of the Fifth Prince. He has already married a concubine, but he is still talking about remaining a virgin. It's really disgusting that he is both a hypocrite and a hypocrite.
"Silly girl, you still need a child. Since the Fifth Prince is a jerk and there's no hope for him, you should shift your focus to the child."
Xinrong also understood this. After pondering for a moment, Xinrong expressed his thoughts over the past few days.
"Mother, I've actually been thinking about this for the past few days. Since Fifth Prince won't consummate his marriage with me, can I take in any child he has with Xiaoyanzi or any other concubines to raise?"
In fact, Xinrong wanted to cooperate with Cailian, and the Fifth Prince obviously had some feelings for Cailian.
When Cailian gives birth to the child, the Fifth Prince and Xiaoyanzi can make as much noise as they want, and she and Cailian just need to raise the child.
"You silly girl!" Fu Jin reached out and poked Xinrong's head. "You think too simply. Isn't this just making wedding dresses for others?"
"Let's not talk about how your father can raise a child who doesn't have your blood. Even if you raise him to adulthood, how can you guarantee that he will be filial to you? Don't wait until you are old and have no hope, and you will have no place to cry!"
"Xinrong, you still have to have a child of your own, a child who is connected to you and us by blood."
Xinrong touched his forehead, feeling a little aggrieved. "Then the Fifth Prince refuses to accept me. Do you really want me to beg him? I can't do that."
"Don't worry, mother, think about it."
Fu Jin also had a headache about the Fifth Prince.
If it doesn't work, I can only use medicine.
But drugging can only work once. If pregnancy fails, it will be difficult to drug a second time. Besides, the Fifth Prince is a stubborn person. If the matter gets out of hand, it will be bad for Xinrong's reputation.
Fu Jin thought about it, and after much deliberation, she decided that it would be better if the Fifth Prince was willing to do it.
"Does Concubine Yu know about this?"
Xinrong shook his head: "How can I be so embarrassed to say that?"
"No, you have to say that Fifth Prince is like this because the Empress didn't teach him well. The problem lies with her. If he wants to have a grandson, he has to find a way."
Xinrong frowned, "Empress Yu is now under house arrest. Mother, you know this, what can she do?"
Fu Jin smiled mysteriously, "Empress Yu was able to climb to the position of concubine, of course she has her own abilities. There are some things we can't do, but she can."
Xinrong didn't quite understand, but Fu Jin didn't say anything more. She just asked Xinrong to tell Concubine Yu about his grievances when he went to the palace to pay his respects the next day.
In the evening, Xinrong did not return to the Fifth Prince's house, but stayed at her mother's house.
The next morning, after seeing off Guan Bao, Xinrong handed over a sign and went into the palace to pay his respects.
Just as Fu Jin said, after Xinrong unintentionally expressed her sorrow, Concubine Yu was indeed very angry.
She comforted Xinrong for a long time, telling her not to worry, and that Concubine Yu would handle the matter.
Although she didn't know what Concubine Yu was going to do, Xinrong still agreed obediently.
