Chapter 225: Chapter 226 Knocking Chapter 225: Chapter 226 Knocking “I’m not at ease leaving you alone, so I ca especially to see you, lest you be bullied. Fortunately, I arrived just in ti.” Pei Huaian was very relieved that he had co, otherwise he didn’t know how much hardship she would have faced.
The two chatted happily, but this scene made Princess Huimin quite displeased, as the smile on her lips fell. It seed that Shao He had not listened to any of the advice she had given earlier.
“Ahem.”
The cough of Princess Huimin interrupted the two’s conversation, and they both turned to look at her at the sa ti.
“Doctor Shao, it must be very hard for you to raise a child on your own. How about I introduce you to a man? Naturally, there’s no need to ntion his character and looks,” Princess Huimin said tentatively, afraid that Shao He would disagree.
However, the outco was unexpected; Shao He actually agreed right away, “Then I’ll be in your care, Your Highness.”
This response stunned both Princess Huimin and Pei Huaian; neither of them had expected her to agree so readily.
Especially Pei Huaian, who imdiately said, “If you remarry with a child, I’m afraid that in the future…”
He ant to say that she could ruin everything, but before he could finish, Shao He interrupted, “It’s okay. It’s hard on the child to follow anyway. If I could find soone to rely on, I wouldn’t have to be so tired all the ti and could relax a bit.”
These words made Pei Huaian pause, and the words he had wanted to say were stuck in his throat, unable to speak for a long while.
Seeing this, Princess Huimin quickly took over the conversation, “If that’s the case, then I’ll go back and search properly for you, to find you a good household.”
Pei Huaian said with a grim expression, “Never mind whether a noble family would accept Dr. Shao with a child, even if they did, it’s not certain they would be kind to the child in the future. How could she live a good life then?”
“How do you know if anyone would mind? A woman as kind and beautiful as Doctor Shao, there must be many n waiting to marry her!” Princess Huimin huffed coldly, countering his words.
Pei Huaian took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart, “Aunt, please don’t make things more chaotic here.”
“Huaian, Doctor Shao has agreed, what else are you unhappy about? Don’t forget your own status,” Princess Huimin’s face went through a slight change, glaring at him angrily with a hint of warning in her words, hoping he would understand her painstaking efforts.
After all, he was a prince. It wasn’t necessary to marry a daughter of a high-ranking noble family, but he should at least marry a daughter from a prominent family to match him.
Shao He was just a widowed mother with no relatives; she was not qualified to be his wife!
She didn’t even have her chastity and yet was thinking of entering the royal family; what a ludicrous fantasy!
“I certainly rember my status, which is precisely why I remind you not to ruin soone else’s chances of marriage,” Pei Huaian said coldly.
“Huaian…” Princess Huimin looked at him incredulously, her tone carrying a hint of reprimand.
“You aren’t young anymore; it’s ti for you to marry a Prince’s Consort. The choice of a Prince’s Consort must not be taken lightly. When the ti cos, I’ll discuss it with your father, and I myself will personally select for you,” Princess Huimin said, hitting Pei Huaian with her words, hoping he wouldn’t continue to be foolish.
“I don’t want to marry for the ti being; we can talk about it later,” Pei Huaian said, disregarding Princess Huimin’s displeased expression, outright refusing.
Princess Huimin, angry, took a fierce sip of tea to suppress her rage, “You really disappoint ! It would be best for you to settle this matter soon, lest you beco ever more entangled.”
Princess Huimin, angry, left in a huff, while Xu Han nodded at the two of them and left with her.
After the full moon banquet, Pei Huaian insisted on seeing them off, leaving Shao He with no choice but to agree. Under the public eye, she didn’t want to cause any gossip.
Qingxia was about to go in, but was caught by Ah Mo, “Sit outside and get so air; it’s too stuffy inside.”
“How can it be stuffy? I’ve been outside getting fresh air the whole ti, what more air do I need to get?”
As Qingxia tried to go inside again, Ah Mo pulled her back, “The atmosphere inside isn’t suitable for you.”
His words made Qingxia realize, and with a shift in her disdainful gaze, she asked with a giggly smile, “Is your master perhaps…”
Qingxia’s suggestive look said it all, although she didn’t spell it out clearly, the question she wanted to ask was evident.
“We can guess at what’s in the master’s heart, but Doctor Shao is indeed a special presence,” Ah Mo felt that all this was because of Xiao Linzhang. If it weren’t for Xiao Linzhang, the master probably wouldn’t be interested in Doctor Shao.
In the carriage, Pei Huaian couldn’t help but ask, “Do you really intend to remarry? What if the man you marry isn’t good to the child?”
Shao He turned to look at him, and seeing the anxious person said slowly, “I trust Princess Huimin’s character. And the child is still young. If I can find a trustworthy man and change the child’s surna to call him ‘father,’ then surely he will be good to the child, and as the child grows, he will naturally assu it’s his biological father.”
“What? You’re going to change the child’s surna?” Pei Huaian’s eyes widened in shock, his throat feeling choked, as too many words struggled to find voice.
In the face of such shock, Shao He nodded calmly and continued, “If we can’t stay in the Capital City, I can move to a remote place with my future husband and child.”
“But in a remote place, there won’t be any learned scholars; how will the child go to school?”
“I believe Xiao Linzhang will be successful and in the future can lead his younger brothers and sisters,” Shao He supported her chin with both hands, pretending to be very hopeful about the future.
