Finally, Qinghan is pregnant, which makes very happy. But happy days always pass quickly, while troubleso tis are plenty. Because I drank a couple more glasses outside, and was drunk, I didn’t know when a maid climbed into my bed.
Qinghan broke in after sohow getting the news, and then made a big scene. I was very annoyed at the ti; what could a drunk person do? But seeing Qinghan clutching her belly and crying out, I could only swallow my discontent.
Sister heard that Qinghan had a fetal disturbance and imdiately ca over. Sister ant well, but Qinghan seed possessed, insisting that the maid who climbed into bed was arranged by Sister.
Sister was furious at the ti and asked if I thought the sa.
How could I possibly have such thoughts? How can I not understand what kind of person Sister is? How could she do such a vile thing?
Sister looked at and said, "It’s Sister’s fault."
I knew what Sister ant; she was saying that she shouldn’t have compromised back then, shouldn’t have let Qinghan in, and she was blaming herself. But this matter was not related to Sister; it was my fault, for not listening to Sister’s words, and I must swallow the bitter fruit I brewed myself.
After selling this audacious maid, the matter ca to an end, and Sister never ntioned it to again. I thought this would pass just like that, but I was naive. When I wanted to ask Sister to na the unborn child, Sister’s cold deanor made realize that she already disliked Qinghan, and consequently, didn’t like Qinghan’s child.
Because of this, Sister did not co over when Qinghan was in labor, nor did she co to visit after the child was born. When I went to invite Sister to preside over Wanting’s "Three-Day" ceremony, Sister refused, only making an appearance during the ceremony, and after giving a generous gift, she left.
In the end, the na was given by my mother-in-law, called Wanting. The na has a good aning, but this na is far from Keyue and Yanqi’s nas. Although I am displeased, I can’t refute it.
A few months after the child was born, the Ninth Prince asked to go to Haikou. I thought of leaving Capital City at that ti; the constant arguing day after day made very tired, and perhaps it would be good to separate temporarily.
I went to Haikou, but life there was actually not comfortable. Because of my appearance, people often teased , and the soldiers below would act perfunctorily towards my orders, which made quite angry. But I knew if I acted out because of this, I’d end up at a disadvantage. The Ninth Prince wanted to establish a foothold in Haikou and then do things for him; if I returned because of being snubbed, my future prospects would be affected.
After spending more than a year, I finally established my footing in Haikou. Being alone in Haikou for a long ti made feel sowhat lonely and solitary, and I considered bringing Qinghan to Haikou. But as soon as I thought of bringing Qinghan over, I realized we’d just end up arguing without peace, so I dispelled the idea.
At this ti, a subordinate’s sister, due to her outstanding appearance, was favored by a third-ranked Brigadier, who wanted to take her as his concubine. Since the matter was encountered, naturally, I couldn’t stand by.
My subordinate worried that the Brigadier wouldn’t give up and would retaliate, so he implored to take his sister as a concubine. I was afraid of stirring gossip, as the good intention might end up seeming like greed for beauty, so I refused. However, not only my subordinate, but even Lady Yue worried that if she married soone else, the Brigadier wouldn’t leave her alone, so she begged to take her in. She said if I didn’t agree, she would shave her head and beco a nun.
After this matter arose, many people advised to take Lady Yue in. At that ti, I thought of how Qinghan had hurt her body, making future offspring difficult; I would eventually have to take concubines. After much consideration, I finally took Lady Yue in. But I told her when she entered, I only offered her a place to stay, and not to expect anything else.
Lady Yue readily agreed.
After Lady Yue entered, she managed the backyard well; she didn’t go out often and was very well-behaved. Even when she got pregnant, she made no excessive acts.
At this mont, Qinghan ca. When Qinghan heard that I had taken a concubine who was pregnant, she argued with again.
The matter caused quite a stir, and in the end, Qinghan said the child, once born, must be placed under her na and raised by her. I originally had this intention, so naturally, I didn’t refuse.
Because I often have to camp in the barracks, I stay at ho for very few days in a month, so the two of us rarely argue anymore. At that ti, I thought, such days aren’t bad either.
