During the three days of waiting, the only change in Tingfeng Courtyard was the white mourning cloths hung everywhere, which were the same as usual.
Su Nianyun is not bored even though she can't go out to play in the street.
She is placing many bottles and jars in the house, containing various balsams and hair oils she has developed.
Since Chunhua and Xiayue gave her feedback on how to use it, she has become more enthusiastic about doing this.
In addition to her own use, she also thought of giving it to her clan members.
Uncle Cheng has written that the remaining clan members will soon be leaving Beijing.
As soon as the clan members arrived, their livelihood issues immediately came to the fore.
With her dowry, she can raise them for the rest of her life without any worries, but the tribesmen must master their own survival skills.
That day, when Xia Yue accidentally said that the hair oil she made was better than those sold outside, she suddenly came up with the idea of letting her tribe make balsam and open a shop to sell the hair oil.
Uncle Cheng owns two shops, a Mobei medicine shop and a Mobei fur shop.
The business of the medicine shop is barely okay now, and with the experience from his previous life, Su Nianyun knows that the medicine shop will do well in the future.
However, fur shops have many restrictions. For example, in spring and summer, there is very little business.
So Su Nianyun wanted to open another shop selling women's products. By then, the girls in the clan could also work in the shop.
Isolated from the crowds of the Chen family, she hid in her room with peace of mind, carefully developing and sorting out her balm and hair oil recipes.
She also tried to add flowers and plants unique to Mobei so as not to lose the style of their Mobei shop.
Bottles and cans were spread all over the table, and prescriptions were written and scattered all over the floor.
When Grandma Liu entered the house carrying snacks, she saw such a messy scene.
"Princess, you have been busy for a long time, it's time to eat something."
After being told by Nanny Liu, Su Nianyun really felt hungry.
She washed the ink and grease off her hands, and after eating a few snacks, she started to feel sleepy.
Aunt Liu brought her tea and rinsed her mouth, and she leaned on the couch beside the bed and fell asleep.
After covering the princess with a quilt, Nanny Liu had a thoughtful expression on her face.
When Su Nianyun opened her eyes an hour later, it was already dark.
Seeing that it was already dark after just taking a nap, she was quite surprised, "I actually slept for such a long time?"
She had only sorted out half of the recipe. She could have finished it all this afternoon, but now she has to postpone it until tomorrow.
"Princess..." Aunt Liu looked at Su Nianyun and hesitated to speak.
Su Nianyun smiled and said, "Mom, if you have anything to say, just say it. I won't be angry."
"Princess, since you went down to Lingyun Mountain that day, your menstrual period has not come yet. Should you call Doctor Shen..." Grandma Liu said very tactfully.
These days, the princess's appetite has improved and she eats a lot. However, she has not gained any weight, but is even thinner than before.
Not only that, the princess gradually became sleepy.
Although she has never given birth to a child, she has not seen too much of what a woman looks like when she is pregnant during her decades in the palace.
All the princess's behaviors are undoubtedly signs of pregnancy.
Su Nianyun said, "Mommy, why have you forgotten? I know medical skills, so why do I need Dr. Shen?"
"I know what you want to ask, and I do have it!"
It had been a month and a half since that night in Lingyun Mountain. She had checked her pulse a few days ago and it was indeed like her previous life, she was pregnant.
"Yes?" Grandma Liu exclaimed.
Realizing that her voice was too loud, she immediately covered her mouth.
After a long pause, Nanny Liu gradually came back to her senses and said, "Princess, what are you going to do with this child?"
"The Chen family cheated on the marriage, and Chen Shaoan faked his death to escape. This is a good time for you to escape."
"If you don't want to stay in the Chen family anymore, then I mean you don't want this child, and I will ask the Queen Mother to find you a reliable marriage later..."
"I want this child." Su Nianyun said firmly, "and I want him to live as a descendant of the Chen family."
"Princess?" Aunt Liu said in surprise, "It's not worth getting angry with such a scumbag family!"
"Mama Liu, there are some things you don't understand..."
If she was just being deceived into marriage by the Chen family, she might be able to leave after seeing through the scam.
But she was fooled her whole life.
For thirty years, she struggled in the sea of misery, but those who pushed her into the sea of misery lived a happy life with beautiful descendants.
This is not hatred that can be easily resolved.
If the hatred from her previous life can be eliminated so easily, then what is the point of her rebirth?
What is the point of the child coming to her again?
"I want to keep this child and let him live as a descendant of the Chen family, taking advantage of everything Zhou Yao can't get and making her suffer!"
"Princess..." Aunt Liu wanted to persuade her again.
"Mommy, I know you care about me and think about me."
Su Nianyun said, "Maybe you think it will be very painful for me to do this, but in fact, I enjoy torturing them."
Seeing Grandma Liu's look of disbelief, Su Nianyun comforted her, "I know Grandma is afraid that I will sink deeper and deeper into the situation and will not be able to escape in the future."
"Don't worry, I will definitely leave the Chen family, but the prerequisite is that the Chen family recognizes the status of my unborn child."
Seeing the princess who had made up her mind, Grandma Liu stopped trying to persuade her. She secretly made up her mind to do her best to help the princess realize her wish.
After dispelling Grandma Liu's doubts, Su Nianyun felt completely at ease.
She stroked her abdomen, where nothing could be seen now, and said in her heart, "My child, don't be afraid, come here with confidence."
"In this life, mother will definitely give you an upright status and never let you suffer at all!"
Three days later.
A group of soldiers escorted the coffin containing the body of "Chen Shaoan" back to Beijing.
Su Nianyun supported the old lady, Chen Shaokang, and Chen Shaoting, the youngest son of the Chen family, standing at the door of the Chen Mansion.
Chen Shaoting is young and has the most talent in reading. He is currently studying at Zhengyang Academy, the most famous and demanding school in Beijing.
If a relative had not passed away, the academy would not even let the students go out to take a bath, for fear that the prosperity of the world would disturb the students' ambition to study and block their way forward.
At this time, the dark coffin slowly approached, and the entire Chen family was devastated.
"My son, my son!" The old lady couldn't bear it anymore, so she flew onto the coffin and cried loudly.
Over the many years she has been managing the Chen family, her heart has gradually hardened, and she always plots against others.
But those are outsiders and have nothing to do with her. She doesn't care who lives or dies. She just wants to achieve her own goal.
But this time, in order to achieve her goal of still being in charge of the entire Chen family, she forced her eldest son to marry a princess she didn't like.
The eldest son finally agreed to her wishes, but on the night of his wedding he went off to war with the army.
She originally thought that she should just go out. They are mother and son, and there will always be time to resolve conflicts in the future.
Who would have thought that when the eldest son left, he would say goodbye forever?
"An'er, my An'er!"
Listening to the old lady crying heartbreakingly, Su Nianyun came to her side not to be outdone and shed tears with her.
In fact, it's good that Su Nianyun can control herself not to laugh. How can she cry?
Fortunately, she was prepared in advance. She applied tear-inducing powder on her sleeves, and as soon as she touched her eyes with her sleeves, she burst into tears.
"Consort, my consort, if you leave me alone, how will I live?!"
