On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince's Hidden Illness-Chapter 171 - The Crown Prince’s Personal Visit
Chapter 171 -171 The Crown Prince’s Personal Visit
Leng Yu Yan shook her head. “Grandmother, Qingyu did express his desire to marry me, but I made it clear to him long ago that I never thought to spend my life with a man. Since then, he has not mentioned it again, and we are merely friends.”
“As for the Crown Prince, he does not like me, yet he insists on keeping me bound to his side. I really can’t fathom why.”
“If the Crown Prince did like me, then why would he torment me?”
“If I had to choose between these two men to marry, I wouldn’t pick either of them.”
“Qingyu is my friend; as for the Crown Prince, I do not wish to have the slightest connection with him.”
Hearing Nannan say that the Crown Prince tortured her, Elder Mrs. Zhang shed tears again. “If your mother in heaven knew you were suffering in the capital city, I don’t know how heartbroken she would be.”
“We’re not seeking wealth or power. Grandmother, like your mother, only hopes that in this lifetime you will meet a man who truly cherishes and cares for you.”
“A man who only has eyes for you, and you have eyes only for him.”
“When it comes to matters of the heart, a person’s heart is very small, so small that it can only fit one person,” Elder Mrs. Zhang gently patted Leng Yu Yan’s back. “If your partner has made room for you and someone else, then it will become crowded.”
“Nannan, never mind being a Crown Princess Consort or a Princess Consort. Finding someone who is devoted to you and leading a simple and harmonious life is what truly matters!”
“We must consider the concerns Mrs. Zhao has raised, so, Nannan, we need to find you a suitable match in Jiangzhou, and we must do so secretly. Even nobility shouldn’t rashly snatch a bride; once these two men have returned to the capital, we will deal with this ostentatiously.”
Leng Yu Yan understood that her grandmother was speaking for her own good.
But Ye Yiheng, that madman, truly was capable of doing anything.
However, it was late, and her grandmother was getting on in years, so she didn’t want to talk too much about that crazy person, fearing it would worry her grandmother, thus she simply nodded.
“I’ll listen to Grandmother.”
Despite saying so, in her view, it would be safer to go somewhere that certain someone could not find her.

Capital city.
In the back courtyard of Prince Liang Mansion.
The Imperial Physician took Lai Manting’s pulse and then bowed to Ye Zhenyu, saying, “Prince Liang, Consort Lai’s fetus is still in its early stages. The sudden impact and subsequent fall have caused signs of a miscarriage.”
Hearing this, Lai Manting struggled to rise from the bed, “Imperial Physician, please, you must save my child!”
The Imperial Physician shook his head and said to Ye Zhenyu, “We will need a medical woman to take a closer look for a specific diagnosis.”
Ye Zhenyu kept a stern face and nodded, asking everyone to leave the room except for the medical woman and Lai Manting.
Not long after, the medical woman came out with blood on her hands. “Prince Liang, Consort Lai’s fetus has already begun to miscarry. It hasn’t left the body yet because Consort Lai took a dose of fetus protection medicine.”
“It’s been just over a month, the fetus is not yet fully formed, and it should have been easy to miscarry, but Consort Lai’s use of strong fetus protection medicine on her own has caused adhesion…”
Ye Zhenyu interjected impatiently, “Get to the point!”
The medical woman lowered her head and said, “Given the current situation, if the fetus is not expelled quickly, Consort Lai may have difficulty conceiving in the future.”
Ye Zhenyu furrowed his brow and looked at the Imperial Physician, “What should we do now?”
The Imperial Physician replied, “We can only summon a Midwife to use labor-inducing drugs to expedite the miscarriage.”
Soon after, the Midwife was summoned.
Lai Manting’s screams followed one after another.
Ye Zhenyu watched as basin after basin of bloody water was carried out, his expression turning grim.
The Midwife emerged from Lai Manting’s bedroom.
“Prince Liang, the dose of fetus protection medicine used by Consort Lai was too strong, and the resulting pain is unbearable; I fear she will be tormented all night.”
With a flick of his sleeve, Ye Zhenyu said coldly, “She brought this upon herself!”
He then strode away from the backyard.

Early the next morning.
The Lin brothers had come to the Zhang Family.
Zhang Yumeng was somewhat surprised by their arrival.
Lin Fei explained with a smile, “Yesterday, my younger brother heard from a servant that our cousin is stunningly beautiful, and he couldn’t sleep all night. Early in the morning, he insisted that I accompany him to visit your home.”
Lin Xiang laughed heartily and said to Zhang Yumeng, “Where is my sister-in-law’s cousin?”
Zhang Yumeng covered her lips and chuckled, “My cousin is probably still sleeping. You’ve come early.”
Just then, Elder Mrs. Zhang happened to walk to the front courtyard and paused upon seeing the Lin brothers.
Upon seeing her, the Lin brothers stepped forward to greet her, “Elder Mrs. Zhang, we hope you are well!”
“All is well, all is well,” Elder Mrs. Zhang said with a smile.
This Lin Fei was about to become her granddaughter’s husband—handsome and successful in business.
Her gaze shifted to Lin Xiang, who was even more handsome than his older brother. Even though his business achievements did not match his brother’s, the Lin Family and the Zhang Family knew each other well.
If Nannan were to be promised to Lin Xiang, with Yu Meng taking care of her, Nannan would surely be pampered in the Lin Family.
The most crucial point was that when the Lin Family initially proposed the marriage for Lin Fei and Yu Meng, they clearly stated they would not allow Lin Fei to take concubines.
If Nannan were to be promised to Lin Xiang, the Lin Family’s attitude toward his marriage would likely be the same.
Thinking so, Elder Mrs. Zhang liked the Lin brothers more and more.
“Don’t just stand there; come sit in the main hall,” Elder Mrs. Zhang immediately ordered to serve tea and refreshments.
Once everyone was seated in the main hall and tea and pastries had been enjoyed, Lin Xiang finally couldn’t help asking, “Elder Mrs. Zhang, may I meet sister-in-law’s cousin?”
Hearing this, Elder Mrs. Zhang laughed, “You young man, so that’s what you’re after!”
Lin Xiang’s voice was sweet as honey, “Elder Mrs. Zhang, think about it, once my brother and sister-in-law are wed, our two families will be one. If your cousin and I also have a destiny with each other, then that’ll be an even closer relationship!”
“Besides, the Lin Family tradition discourages taking concubines lightly. If your cousin and I are wed, I’ll promise to be just like my brother!”
“You’re talking about this so soon?” Elder Mrs. Zhang chuckled while shaking her head and turned to send for Leng Yu Yan.
When the servant arrived at Qingyu Residence, Leng Yu Yan was still sleeping in bed.
She had dreamt all night, tossed around a lot in her dreams, and was still sleeping very deeply.
Hearing from Mrs. Zhao that the young Lady had not yet woken, the servant returned to the main hall.
Elder Mrs. Zhang asked Lin Xiang with a smile, “She’s not up at this hour; you still want this kind of girl?”
Lin Xiang laughed heartily, “Women are meant to be cared for delicately, of course, I want her!”
Hearing him say this, Elder Mrs. Zhang felt even better about the match.
At that moment, the butler came to report urgently, “Elder Mrs. Zhang, the Crown Prince has arrived in person!”
Hearing this, Elder Mrs. Zhang’s smile disappeared completely from her face.
People had come, and they had to be received, so she had no choice but to ask, “Where is he now?”
The Lin brothers were somewhat baffled, what was the Crown Prince doing here?
Hadn’t he annulled the betrothal with the Zhang’s granddaughter?
“The Crown Prince has already entered,” replied the butler.
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of calm footsteps came from outside the main hall.
Elder Mrs. Zhang, Zhang Yumeng, and the Lin brothers all looked over together and saw the visitor’s robes fluttering, his movements elegant like drifting water.
What was more, despite the white gauze covering his eyes, his stunningly beautiful, immortal-like appearance was in no way diminished.
Everyone hurriedly greeted him, “We pay our respects to Your Highness, the Crown Prince!”
Ye Yiheng bent slightly and personally supported Elder Mrs. Zhang’s elbow, “Elder Mrs. Zhang, please, there is no need for formalities!”
Out of respect for Ye Yiheng’s status, Elder Mrs. Zhang invited him to take the seat of honor and asked, “May we inquire as to what brings Your Highness to our humble abode?”
