Long Live the Empress

Chapter 221 A man’s mouth

Yue Hanwen stumbled to Su Hongfu's yard. When he saw Su Hongfu, he did not hug her in his arms as he did before. Instead, he walked straight to the couch and lay down.

Su Hongfu naturally knew why Yue Hanwen was like this. No matter how much she said at this moment, Yue Hanwen would not listen and it would only make him annoyed. It would be better to say nothing and just sit quietly beside Yue Hanwen.

After a long while, Yue Hanwen slowly spoke: "Fu'er, why don't you speak?"

"I don't know what to say, I just want to accompany the master..." Su Hongfu said as she pressed the corner of the quilt for Yue Hanwen. No matter who saw it, they would think that Su Hongfu loved Yue Hanwen terribly.

Yue Hanwen opened his eyes a little, "What hope do I have to live? I've lost all my face..."

Su Hongfu pursed her lips, as if she had made a major decision, "How about... Master, take in a few more wives? It will be easier for Master to have more children..."

"I only have Fu'er in my heart, how can I want someone else?" Yue Hanwen didn't expect that the jealous Su Hongfu would take the initiative to let him take a concubine, "Is Fu'er going to leave me?"

"What are you talking about, Master! How could I leave you? It's just... I've been in the mansion for so long, but I haven't been able to bear a child for you, Master. I feel really ashamed..." Su Hongfu wiped her eyes with a handkerchief while speaking, "The eldest son is the only male in the mansion, Master, don't you want to have many children?"

Yue Hanwen was silent. Yes, he was in a high position, but it was useless if there was no one to inherit! Especially after knowing the truth today, Yue Tianhong could not be counted on. "Fu'er, I will listen to you... But no matter how many women there are in the mansion, you are the one I love the most!"

Su Hongfu was so moved that she sobbed on Yue Hanwen's chest. In her heart, she cursed Yue Hanwen. A man's words are deceitful, and Yue Hanwen showed this to the fullest! He loves her the most. Bah, if he really loves her, he would not agree to take someone into the house...

Su Hongfu suggested marrying a daughter of a commoner family into the mansion first, which would not only make it easier to control but also prevent Yue Hanwen from causing any major trouble. When this daughter becomes pregnant, she would marry another one. If she married several daughters at once, she would be afraid of being gossiped about by others.

Yue Hanwen only wanted to have a few sons. He didn't care who gave birth to them or how many concubines he would take into the mansion. He left everything to Su Hongfu.

Su Fu

Yue Tianhong entered the mansion from the back door very low-key, as he was afraid of being seen and causing gossip.

"Uncle!" Yue Tianhong saw Su Zhiwei hugging a little maid when he entered the room, and quickly turned his back and said, "You go out first!"

The little maidservant didn't dare to disobey. She glanced at Su Zhiwei with seductive eyes before twisting her waist and going out.

"Uncle, something terrible has happened!" Yue Tianhong told Su Zhiwei about Yue Jinghong's pregnancy, which made Su Zhiwei tremble with fear.

Su Zhiwei paced back and forth in the room, and after a while he said, "Things have developed to this point, and we can't do anything else. Why don't we let your sister go to the Prince's Mansion first, and then make plans later!"

Yue Tianhong nodded, "The emperor's order cannot be violated. Now we can only take it one step at a time... Uncle, are you sure that my sister's matter is foolproof?"

Su Zhiwei knew that Yue Tianhong was talking about Yue Jinghong being kidnapped by bandits, so he nodded and said, "Don't worry, the people who knew about this have been wiped out. Tell your mother and sister to rest assured, your grandfather will be returning to Beijing soon, and then there will be something interesting to watch!"

Yue Tianhong was immediately delighted when he heard that his grandfather was coming back. His grandfather was a military general with great means, otherwise he would not have been able to raise the Su family from a seventh-rank official to a second-rank general.
