Wei Mingzhao picked up her chopsticks and looked at the dishes full on the table. Whether steamed, stir-fried, boiled, or fried, there was everything. But she couldn’t muster any appetite, only feeling nauseous and wanting to vomit.
Even if she forced herself to swallow it, she would throw it all up after a while. This situation had lasted for almost ten days.
At first, Wei Rongxuan thought that his daughter was deliberately pretending to avoid punishment. In fact, he knew this daughter’s temperament best. She was arrogant and extremely concerned about face.
After being slapped by him and punished with confinement, she must be unable to bear it, so he didn’t take it seriously.
It wasn’t until the maid said that the Eldest Miss hadn’t eaten for three days and had thrown up everything that he realized something was wrong.
After the couple went over, they called a doctor to take her pulse.
He knew that everything was over.
Wei Mingzhao wasn’t just feeling unwell, she was pregnant!
A young and unmarried girl was actually pregnant. Even if the father of the child was her fiancé, it was still an extremely shameful thing.
If this matter spread out, the Wei family would be pointed at, and no one would dare to come to marry the many unmarried daughters in the family in the future. Did the Wei family still want their reputation, did he still want his face!
Wei Rongxuan wanted to do it once and for all and take advantage of the fact that the pregnancy was still small to directly abort the child, but Wang 氏 was soft-hearted and disagreed.
“Are you crazy? This abortifacient will harm the body. What if Zhao’er has difficulty getting pregnant in the future because of this? No matter what, this is the Crown Prince’s first child. If it’s a son, then he will be the next heir to the throne in the future.”
“Then he’s also my grandson. Do you think I want her to abort it? If we don’t abort it and leave it, and the wedding date is delayed, and the time of delivery doesn’t match, and His Majesty suspects that the child’s origin is not right, then what should we do?”
Wang 氏’s face changed again and again. After thinking about it, the temptation of this eldest grandson was really too great, “No matter what, this child must be born.”
Wei Rongxuan didn’t know that the emperor had already asked the Qintian Supervisor to calculate a good time, and the wedding date was in the month after next. He was forced by his wife and daughter and had no choice but to spare his old face and humbly begged the Crown Prince.
Pei Yuyan was also very easy to talk to, saying that he could ask the emperor, but the condition was that Wei Nanxun would marry over together.
It was a bit absurd for sisters to serve one husband, but it wasn’t unheard of. Wasn’t the Empress and Consort Xian also a good story?
But Wei Rongxuan, as an uncle, was still a little hesitant. To marry his daughter to someone else as a concubine, bypassing his younger brother, was a bit unethical after all.
“Master, this is marrying the Crown Prince, with that appearance and that status, many people are begging and rushing to be his concubine. If she weren’t Zhao’er’s sister, how could it be her turn? The Second Brother can’t blame you.”
Wei Rongxuan finally nodded, tacitly agreeing to this matter.
“By the way, we can’t tell Zhao’er about this first. She’s already having a hard time with the pregnancy, throwing up whatever she eats. If she knows that Wei Nanxun is going to marry over together, she will definitely disagree.”
On this matter, the couple’s thoughts were consistent, so Wei Mingzhao was still happily preparing to get married, and didn’t know that there was such a dirty deal going on.
Her confinement had long been lifted, but in order not to be discovered that she was pregnant, she was still staying in her room and couldn’t go anywhere.
You’ll never believe why I moved to… Lucena City”Miss, you haven’t eaten anything for half a day, please eat something.”
Wei Mingzhao valued this child the most, and of course, she was also worried about her body. When she first found out she was pregnant, she stuffed everything into her mouth regardless of whether it suited her taste, which led to her vomiting for several days.
The doctor told her not to swallow so forcefully, it had to be what she was willing to eat. The more anxious she was, the less she could eat.
Hearing this, she glanced at the dishes on the table and turned around to dry heave again, “Take it all away.”
She rinsed her mouth and changed for a while before saying, “Zhao Yue, didn’t His Highness really ask about me yesterday?”
Yesterday, the Crown Prince came to present the betrothal gifts, and the whole family was lively. The dignitaries with faces in the capital came, and those close friends she usually had also came. It should have been her most glorious day, but she couldn’t attend, which was a great pity.
Most importantly, she really wanted to tell the Crown Prince this good news in person, she was pregnant with his child.
Even though the two of them had been intimate in a state of confusion, the arrival of this child didn’t it mean that they were a match made in heaven?
She believed that as long as she gave birth to the eldest son, the Crown Prince would definitely change his view of her.
Zhao Yue’s eyes flickered, and she persuaded, “Miss, there were so many guests yesterday. Even if the Crown Prince wanted to ask about you, he would be embarrassed to ask in person. Besides, the wedding date is approaching, and unmarried couples can’t see each other.”
Wei Mingzhao understood the reasoning, and she also knew that Pei Yuyan couldn’t possibly care about her in public, but she still felt a little disappointed in her heart.
“I know…”
She just, just wanted to see him.
“Alright, all of you go out, let me read a book alone and calm down.”
Zhao Yue saw that she was in a bad mood and couldn’t comfort her, so she could only lead the people out gently, and closed the door outside when she left.
Wei Mingzhao was feeling depressed and couldn’t see anything, she felt bored after flipping through a few pages of the book, wanting to go back to the couch to lie down, but she heard a sound coming from the window against the wall.
She pushed open the window, but saw someone she didn’t expect.
“You, why are you here? What are you doing here?”
Wei Nanxun skillfully climbed in. The sisters hadn’t seen each other since leaving the palace last time. Now, seeing each other again, there was a sense of being separated by a lifetime.
“Sister, without further ado, I’m here today because I have something I want to ask you to help me with.”
“What is there to say between you and me? I can’t help you with anything either. You leave quickly, or I’m going to call for someone.”
“Is Sister sure she doesn’t want to listen first? This matter is also helping you.”
Wei Mingzhao was already emotionally unstable because of the child. When she saw someone she hated, she was even more upset, staring at her with resentful eyes, “What trick are you trying to play again? My wedding date with His Highness has been set, and you can’t destroy it in the slightest.”
But when she met Wei Nanxun’s eyes, she saw the calmness and frankness in the other party’s eyes, giving her a sense of powerlessness as if she had punched into cotton.
The calmer she was, the more ridiculous her hysteria seemed.
“Say it, and leave quickly after you finish.”
“I want to ask Sister to help me leave the Wei family, leave the capital.”
Wei Mingzhao almost thought she had heard wrong and couldn’t help but frown, “You can come and go freely in my courtyard, if you want to leave, is there anyone stopping you?”
“There really is someone stopping me.”
Wei Mingzhao naturally didn’t believe this, she sneered, “If you only have this matter, then you can leave.”
As she spoke, she protected her stomach, turning around impatiently, with a wary and fearful look towards Wei Nanxun, obviously believing that she was here for the child.
She was about to call Zhao Yue and the others in, but before she could speak, she heard the person behind her say self-deprecatingly, “I’m being confined in the West Garden, the entire courtyard is surrounded by guards. Your father wants to send me to Pei Yuyan’s bed together with you on the day you get married.”
“If you don’t mind, then just pretend I wasn’t here.”
After Wei Nanxun finished speaking, she didn’t wait for her response and directly turned her head to return from the window.
“Wait a minute.”
