Chapter 575 Propose a Marriage
But how is this possible? When did my niece have any relationship with the third prince?
He thought about the investigation on his niece, which included not only the more than ten years that his niece lived in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but also everything his niece did after returning to Xinghua Village.
Thinking of the uproar caused in the capital when Yun Zhengzhi wrote the letter of severance of relations and made it public, he roughly guessed what was going on.
You have to know that my niece was switched at birth and became the legitimate daughter of the prime minister and his wife. She lived in the prime minister's mansion for more than ten years.
He didn't believe that the Prime Minister and his wife had no feelings for their niece. The reason he could be so cruel as to do that showed that the rumors about his niece were true.
She really had sex with a man, lost her virginity, and disappeared.
So the fact is not that the niece eloped with the beggar, but that she accidentally had a relationship with the third prince and became pregnant with his child.
As for why the imperial physician said that it would be difficult for the third prince to have children even though the third prince could clearly make women pregnant, this was probably a conspiracy by the first and second prince's factions.
After thinking about this clearly, Prince An suddenly felt that everything was God's will.
He had just decided to stand on the side of the Third Prince, but had not yet figured out how to make the Third Prince believe in and accept Prince An's Mansion.
The third prince took the initiative to come to the door and talk about his marriage with his niece.
Needless to say, when his niece marries the Third Prince, others will naturally classify the Prince An's Mansion into the Third Prince's camp. He no longer has to worry about the Prince An's Mansion remaining neutral and being targeted by the First Prince and the Second Prince, which will ultimately not end well.
Prince An had good ideas, but he ignored Li. He did not ask Li whether she was willing.
Because in his opinion, it was a great fortune for his niece Meng Yue to be favored by the Third Prince and marry into his mansion. He could only be happy and delighted. How could he not be willing?
But Li's next words made him realize that many things could not be taken for granted.
"Brother, who do you say he is?"
Prince An of course knew who Li was asking about, and replied, "The Third Prince, His Royal Highness Prince Chen."
Li confirmed the answer, and her mood was like a raging storm. She didn't expect that Mr. Xie who had visited her home in Xinghua Village was actually the third prince of the current dynasty.
At that time, she didn't think anything of it and just treated Xie Ruiyuan as an ordinary person. But now that she knows Xie Ruiyuan's true identity, she suddenly feels that she has gone too far.
But even so, she would not let her daughter marry Xie Ruiyuan.
"Third Prince, you are of noble status, so you don't need to call me aunt. I will pretend that I didn't hear what you just said, and don't mention it again in the future. When Yueyue arrives in the capital, I will return to Xinghua Village with Yueyue's child."
Seeing that Li was unwilling to talk about his marriage with Li Mengyue, Xie Ruiyuan knew that Li had concerns, so he asked, "Aunt, I am not afraid to tell you the truth. Father and mother have agreed to my marriage with Ayue. If you have any concerns, you can tell me directly."
When Li heard from Xie Ruiyuan that the emperor and the queen agreed to let the third prince marry their daughter, she was confused.
She was not belittling her daughter, because no matter what her daughter Yueyue did, it was the best in her heart.
But there was one thing she couldn't understand: her daughter Yueyue was pregnant and had a child, and there was no way the emperor and the queen couldn't have been unaware of it.
But knowing this, she could still let the Third Prince marry her daughter. She couldn't believe it at all.
"Third Prince, it's not that I think Yueyue is bad, it's just that Yueyue is not suitable to marry into the royal family."
"Aunt, I am the father of Ayue's child."
"what?"
"I am the child's father."
This time, not only Li heard it clearly, but Prince An also heard it clearly. Obviously, neither of them paid attention to Xie Ruiyuan being the father of the child. They both said in unison: "Dabao, Erbao, Sanbao, Sibao, Ayue gave birth to four children."
"Well, Ayue is pregnant with quadruplets."
When Prince An heard about quadruplets, he was pleasantly surprised, and Li started to cry.
She really couldn't help it. She was not by her daughter's side when she was pregnant and giving birth. She didn't know how much suffering and fatigue her daughter went through to give birth to four children.
But she knew that childbirth is a journey through the gates of hell for a woman. She almost died when she gave birth to Mingyu and Minghao.
Even though he managed to survive, he was left with a disease, and his body became increasingly weak, requiring him to take medicine frequently.
There were many times when she felt so weak and sore that she couldn't even get out of bed, let alone work, which made Old Mrs. Li find her faults. Although she didn't beat or scold her openly, she would mistreat her children in secret.
In order to make life better for her and the children, her husband Li An worked hard from dawn to dusk every day, but he was not treated well by Old Lady Li and Old Man Li.
She had personally experienced the difficulties of giving birth to twins, but her daughter Yueyue was pregnant with twins, and she didn't know how much more difficult it would be.
She felt extremely guilty because she did not stay by her daughter's side to take care of her when she was in the most difficult time.
Li's crying made Xie Ruiyuan and Prince An, two grown men, a little at a loss.
Fortunately, Li still had some sense and knew where she was and who she was facing. She just cried for a while, vented her emotions, and then stopped crying.
"Third Prince, can you promise to treat Yueyue well for the rest of your life?"
"Of course, Ayue is the only woman I have ever loved, and the one I will protect for the rest of my life."
Li saw that Xie Ruiyuan's expression was so sincere and knew that Xie Ruiyuan was not lying.
She didn't know whether Xie Ruiyuan would change his mind in the future or whether he would have another woman, but at this moment, Xie Ruiyuan truly loved his daughter without any hypocrisy.
But just based on this point, she still felt uneasy about leaving her daughter to Xie Ruiyuan.
"Third Prince, I have no say in this matter. If Yueyue agrees to marry you, then his father and I have no objection."
"Thank you, auntie, for your help."
"Then let's wait until Yueyue returns to Beijing."
"Aunt, Ayue has agreed to marry me. I came to you now to talk about the wedding."
Not only Li, but also Prince An was blown away by Xie Ruiyuan's heavy bomb, and was so shocked that he saw stars and didn't know what day it was.
They hadn't yet completely digested and accepted the fact that Mengyue had given birth to quadruplets, but they had to prepare for Xie Ruiyuan and Mengyue's wedding. The gap between them was too big and they really found it hard to accept.
Xie Ruiyuan also saw the dilemma faced by Prince An and Li, but he did not intend to postpone the wedding because he wanted his beloved woman and children to return to the capital with a legitimate identity instead of being criticized by others.
Although he believed that A Yue didn't care about these things, he couldn't bear to see A Yue being wronged. The woman he fell in love with must have a noble status and have the confidence to do anything without scruples.
