Chapter 1015: Status Is Very Important

Jiang's face changed with fright. She pulled the quilt over her head and shouted, "Pull the belt away, pull it away!"

"Aunt Jiang, don't scream. The old slave is not tall enough to reach it. He is too old to climb up. Let's just leave it like this. If Aunt Jiang is hungry, just eat some food on the table. If not, If you like to eat, just be hungry. Your house has sent you just this little food. If you don't eat it, I will eat it all."

The food placed on the table is not as good as even the slightly decent servants in Xingguohou's mansion. It is extremely simple and not at all the dignity that Mrs. Xingguohou should have. Of course, Jiang is no longer Mrs. Xingguohou now, just Aunt Jiang. And she is also a fallen aunt.

"Aunt in decline?" Zhao Xiran was sitting on the bedside with the same haggard look. Compared with Mrs. Jiang, she looked more gentle and distressed. At this time, she heard the mother-in-law beside her say this, She raised her head in surprise and looked at her husband sitting by the bed with red eyes. Her voice was slightly crying, "Husband, this...how is this possible? That's my mother!"

"She has hurt you like this, and you still... forgive her so much." Shao Huaan said angrily. How could he not be angry? The child in Zhao Xiran's belly came at the right time. His father had already told him before. , if this child is a legitimate son, then there will be more reasons when it comes to discounting. If you do it secretly, the position of the heir apparent will not be paid for.

"My mother is not good, but...but she must be your mother. Even for your sake...I still have to be filial to her." Zhao Xiran burst into tears. She had really lost a biological child. My child, how could I not feel pain in my heart? Tears fell one by one, and my hand touched my belly.

There used to be a child there. She already knew that she was pregnant before, but she just didn't tell her. Who would have thought that Jiang would do such a thing.

Seeing her crying uncontrollably, Shao Hua'an also had a headache. That was also his child. He stretched out his hand to hold Zhao Xiran in his arms, patted her slender body gently, and comforted her: "The imperial doctor said, We are still young and have nothing to worry about. Just take good care of yourself and don’t worry about other things. We will still have children before long!"

"But...but even if there is another child, it's not this child, it's not him!" Zhao Xiran cried uncontrollably and said hoarsely.

If she could, she would like to cut Jiang into pieces now, but no, she can't, at least not now.

"I know, I know." Shao Huaan hugged her tightly and said softly.

It took Zhao Xiran a while to stop crying, and then he raised his head as if he had made up his mind: "What should I do now, mother?"

"What else can we do? What can we do about the Queen Mother's decree?" When the Jiang family was mentioned, Shao Huaan was also filled with anger.

In the past, he always felt that his mother was very smart and could do no wrong. She could be said to be a model in terms of running the family and her attitude towards his father. But now it seems that he was wrong about such a mother. , not only was it embarrassing, but she also lost her status as the royal wife.

I would like to ask which family's official wife will fall from the position of the head wife and become a concubine, a despicable concubine.

The most important thing is that if his biological mother is a concubine, then who is he? The eldest son? If he was just the eldest son of a concubine, how could he have the confidence to compete for the position of the heir apparent of the Xingguo Hou Mansion?

For so many years, he has never fought for it, as if he never cared about the title. But in fact, how could he not fight for it? He was just not in a hurry. Sooner or later, it would all be his, so why should he look anxious and make people look down on him? take.

"If your mother is an aunt, and she is an unfavored aunt, you will have to be a concubine. Even if we give birth to a child in the future, our status will be much lower..." Zhao Xiran's tears fell again, and he spoke very seriously. Straightforward, but there are only two husband and wife in the room, so they are not afraid to be more straightforward.

"This status is indeed not good." Shao Huaan gritted his teeth, "My sister is still in the palace, and there will be things to do after this. If the position of my mother's legitimate wife is gone, it will be difficult to say!"

Although he was facing his wife, Shao Huaan still left some words. He knew some things about Shao Yanru, his father knew it, his grandmother knew it, and the rest of them didn't know.

When everything is undecided, who can say what will happen in the future? If you say too much at this time, you will make more mistakes, and it is more likely to cause death to your family. It is best to be cautious.

Putting your thoughts on your sister makes it easier to speak.

"Then... what should we do? I heard that the Queen Mother wants to let my father marry another noble girl. If he really marries another noble girl and gives birth to an heir, husband, what should we do?" Zhao Xiran trembled a few times, thinking of a worse future.

A noble girl gave birth to an heir, and the younger son was favored, but Shao Huaan really had nothing to worry about.

"Father will not marry!" Shao Hua'an shook his head affirmatively, "If he does marry, even if he has another child, the child will be younger than Hao'er, which will be even more disadvantageous to the father."

"Although it's unfavorable, it's not impossible!" Zhao Xiran had another attitude.

Of course the two of them were talking about the title. Shao Yuanhao was young, so it was actually quite appropriate for the title to be passed on to Shao Huaan, but if a younger legitimate son was born, this reason was really hard to explain.

"Husband, I will forgive my mother and I will be filial to my mother. My mother is just weak. She was raised in Yuhui Temple and has some mental disorders. She thinks too much. She doesn't really want to beat me." Zhao Xiran stretched out his hand and shook it. Shao Huaan's sleeve said.

"Are you...really willing to take the responsibility?" Shao Huaan hesitated.

"For my husband, there is nothing I can't bear." Zhao Xiran lowered his head and tears fell again, which made Shao Huaan feel distressed again.

He had indeed taken a fancy to Zhao Xiran at the beginning, otherwise he would not have delayed the marriage until now. Now that he sees her feeling aggrieved and sad but having to endure it, how can he feel better? , then reached out and patted her back, "Don't worry, I won't let you down. Everything will be yours by then. Mother's health is not good, just take care of her!"

The meaning of this of course is that Jiang will never use her mother-in-law's authority to instruct Zhao Xiran to do this or that.

In the future, if the title of Xingguo Marquis Mansion is passed to Shao Huaan, Zhao Xiran will be the master of the inner court, and the Jiang family will have no choice but to step aside.

"I...I don't care, as long as my husband is good!" Zhao Xiran said softly with tears in his eyes again.

"But the Queen Mother's will..." Shao Hua'an was full of worries. The matter in front of him was too difficult. Even if his father did not marry for the time being, it would not be easy for his mother to become a wife.

"There is no way to become a head wife, but you can be an equal wife. At least you still have the title of wife and can make you a legitimate son." Zhao Xiran came up with an idea.

Jiang's affairs are not a big deal. The most important thing is that Jiang's affairs have biased Shao Huaan's identity. This is the most annoying thing.

"Father does not dare to disobey the Queen Mother's will!" Shao Huaan frowned and shook his head.

"Is it okay if there is a big contribution?" Zhao Xiran asked suddenly. The question was abrupt. Shao Huaan nodded first, and then shook his head with a wry smile, "If there is a big contribution, it belongs to the mother. This is really difficult to handle!”

A big achievement can alarm the Queen Mother, the Empress, or of course the Emperor. It is really difficult to handle. It takes a lot of merit to turn the tables.

Thinking of Shao Yanru, Shao Huaan said hesitantly, "Maybe we can wait a little longer."

If we wait a few more years and Shao Yanru gains power, the Jiang family can still make a comeback. Of course, this has to be done on the premise that the father is not married yet.

Originally, Shao Huaan was very sure that his father would not get married, but now he felt that he was not sure for a while. If his father really wanted to get married, it would be bad.

In a few years, can he really be crowned a prince, and can his sister really win the prince's favor and help him? All of this is actually not certain.

The room became quiet, and the couple hugged each other, but each had their own thoughts.

"Young Master, Grandma, Prince Chen's Mansion has sent someone over!" A little maid reported outside the house.

After waking up the two people hugging each other inside, Shao Huaan stood up, lifted up his robe and sat in a large chair on one side.

Zhao Xiran leaned back and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief. After gathering himself, he nodded towards Shao Huaan.

"Come in!" Shao Huaan said calmly.

The door curtain was raised, and Aunt Yu came in with a few maids. Several of Zhao Xiran's confidants also came in and stood beside the bed. Just now, the couple spoke and drove the maids out.

"I've met the eldest son, and I've met the eldest grandma!" Aunt Yu stepped forward to greet them both.

Shao Huaan waved his hand and stood up, saying to Zhao Xiran: "I still have something to do with my father, so I'll leave first!"

"Husband, please go slowly!" Zhao Xiran nodded. This kind of matter is an internal matter, and Shao Huaan does not need to stay.

After Shao Huaan left, Aunt Yu asked the maids behind her to come up. Each tray contained some medicinal materials to nourish the body.

"Grandma, our princess is not in good health, so she won't come here. I specially asked this old slave to come over and give you some tonics so that you can replenish your body." Aunt Yu said.

"Thank you very much, princess. Is your princess in good health? I should have gone to visit you, but in my current situation..." Zhao Xiran's eyes turned red again, and his voice was a little choked.

Aunt Yu said hurriedly: "Grandma's health is not good, and we, the princess, also know that Grandma should take good care of her health. Don't worry about other things."

"Thank you, princess!" Zhao Xiran said movedly. The corner of his eyes suddenly drifted to the tray held by the last maid, and he was stunned for a moment...
