How I Pampered the Tyrant Into Devotion With My Space-Chapter 573: Of the Three Unfilial Acts, Having No Heir Is the Greatest
Tang Zan coldly said, "Not going."
Old Madam Tang smiled and said, "Go on, Zan’er, take Chaoyang out to play. This winter, there’s nowhere else to go anyway.
Old Madam Tang then looked at Pei Shu’er, her eyes full of kindness.
"Shu’er shouldn’t oppose this, right? They have been close since childhood."
Pei Shu’er saw that Tang Zan was also looking at her, along with Chaoyang.
It was as if everyone was waiting for her to express her stance.
If she didn’t agree, wouldn’t she become the stick that breaks up a pair of lovebirds?
She said in a huff, "Of course, no objections."
Tang Zan was also angry, Pei Shu’er was pushing him away!
His words carried a hint of gunpowder.
"Since the Princess Consort has no objections, then naturally, I have none either."
Princess Chaoyang pretended to ask Pei Shu’er a question.
"Sister, are you going?"
Tang Zan looked at Pei Shu’er, waiting for her answer.
Pei Shu’er shook her head, she didn’t want to watch these two being lovey-dovey, calling him Brother Zan made her feel sick.
"No, I’m going out for a bit."
Old Madam Tang said, "Shu’er, you stay, Grandma has something to tell you."
Pei Shu’er nodded, "Yes, Old Madam."
Then Old Madam Tang said to Tang Zan and Chaoyang, "Take good care of Chaoyang."
Tang Zan said nothing, continuously looking at Pei Shu’er, until his eyes turned red, he didn’t see Pei Shu’er look up at him even once.
Then he flicked his sleeve and turned to leave.
He didn’t go to the Plum Blossom Mountain Villa, but headed to the backyard instead.
He said to Chaoyang, "You go on, I’m not in the mood to go out."
Chaoyang was unhappy, "Brother Zan, didn’t you promise me long ago?"
Tang Zan frowned, extremely unsympathetic.
"When did I ever promise you?"
Chaoyang thought about it, indeed it seemed that it was always Old Madam Tang who was speaking.
"But I just want to go to the Plum Blossom Mountain Villa, Brother Zan, you’re so nice, why don’t you take me?"
Tang Zan said, "Okay."
Chaoyang’s eyes lit up, only to hear Tang Zan continue.
"Since you want to go, I’ll have someone accompany you."
"Xuan Liu!"
After Xuan Liu came out, he took Chaoyang away. Chaoyang unhappily pursed her lips, pushed Xuan Liu away, and chased after Tang Zan.
And Tang Zan returned to the backyard to practice swordsmanship, while Chaoyang watched from the side.
He and Pei Shu’er had not quarreled for a long, long time.
Their relationship had always been good, the most recent conflict was before their marriage.
His sword swung faster and faster, causing the leaves to fall swiftly under the force of the blade.
Finally, Tang Zan threw the sword away, his eyes full of annoyance.
This feeling was truly wretched.
Meanwhile, Old Madam Tang looked at Pei Shu’er’s belly.
Then she smiled and said, "Shu’er, come sit by Grandma."
Pei Shu’er sat over, and Old Madam Tang took Pei Shu’er’s hand.
"Shu’er, is there any movement in your belly?"
Pei Shu’er’s body stiffened, then she saw Old Madam Tang pat her hand.
"I know you are good, Shu’er, but you and Tang Zan have been married for three years. Previously, you were often apart, and I could understand that."
"But now, you are often together, Zan’er doesn’t have other women, yet there’s still no movement in your belly."
With that, Old Madam Tang sighed.
"You should know, three years without bearing means you have committed one of the seven sins."
"Moreover, among the three greatest acts of unfilial piety, no descendants are the worst."
Pei Shu’er had long known that Old Madam Tang would have this conversation with her someday.
She just didn’t expect it to come so quickly.
And at such a critical moment.
It was obviously to leave Princess Chaoyang, now they were working on her.
Old Madam Tang rarely interfered in the matters of the household, but when she did, it was a big deal.
First, allowing Tang Peizhong’s wife and children into the mansion, and now she wanted Tang Zan to take a concubine.
Pei Shu’er felt a bit annoyed in her heart.
In essence, Old Madam Tang had already given her plenty of face, letting Tang Zan be without concubines for so long, and previously always giving her medication to aid pregnancy.
Even though she didn’t take it, she understood Old Madam Tang’s eagerness to hold a grandchild.
Old Madam Tang sighed, "Shu’er, Grandmother is getting old, Grandmother just hopes to hold a grandchild before going into the grave."
"The second branch and the fourth branch both already have grandchildren, even the youngest, Tang Tuo, married at the beginning of the year, and his child is already born."
Pei Shu’er felt great pressure, after all it was in such ancient times.
But to accept Tang Zan taking a concubine because of this, honestly, it was unlikely.
"Grandmother, I can’t accept Tang Zan taking a concubine."
As soon as those words were spoken, Old Madam Tang froze, her eyes full of shock.
"Shu’er, Grandmother thought you were always the most sensible."
Pei Shu’er shook her head, "This is my bottom line, Grandmother."
Having said that, Pei Shu’er stood up and bowed to Old Madam Tang.
"Grandmother, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave now."
Old Madam Tang’s face looked troubled as she sighed.
"Shu’er, being overly jealous is not a moral failing a main wife should have."
Pei Shu’er looked at Old Madam Tang.
"Grandmother, you are incorrect. I merely want Tang Zan to be completely mine."
If there are other women who want to intrude and Tang Zan allows it, then there’s no need to keep this man either.
Pei Shu’er left, and Old Madam Tang sat in the front hall for a long time without leaving.
Truth be told, Old Madam Tang couldn’t bear it either, Pei Shu’er had given so much to the Tang Family.
But she was afraid that this young couple wouldn’t have a good life without children in the future.
She had even made plans, the children of Tang Zan and a concubine could be adopted to Pei Shu’er, so they would have children too.
However, Pei Shu’er obviously didn’t understand her good intentions.
After Old Madam Tang spoke to Pei Shu’er, Pei Shu’er arranged to go out with Shen Wanqing, love wasn’t her everything, she had her own career too.
Shen Wanqing said, "Shu’er, where do you want to go, I’ll take you."
Pei Shu’er smiled, "I want to buy some clothes."
Shen Wanqing immediately recommended, "The fabric at Pei’s Cloth Shop is great, let’s go there."
Once they got there, Pei Shu’er picked out fabric, had her measurements taken, and ordered clothes to be made.
Pei Shu’er intended to leave, then saw Yan Hengyin.
He was sitting in the carriage, lifting the curtain, looking at Pei Shu’er.
"Shu’er."
Pei Shu’er nodded, turned to leave, but was stopped by the guard.
"Miss, our Third Prince wants you to go over."
Pei Shu’er had to follow, in public, manners must be observed.
Yan Hengyin said, "Let’s go to my palace, I have something new, a very cute little thing."
Pei Shu’er shook her head, "No need, Your Highness, I must return."
The joy in Yan Hengyin’s eyes faded, he watched longingly as Pei Shu’er left.
Shen Wanqing said, "Shu’er, you still keep in touch with the Third Prince?"
Pei Shu’er nodded, but couldn’t say much more.
She couldn’t possibly say that the Third Prince was now a puppet in their hands, one that would never betray them.
Moreover, ordinary people, himself included, were unaware of this.
