I just want to live a good life

Chapter 477: Legitimate Child

How could one sentence move someone so much? The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Mu Yunting held Su Nuan's hand that was constantly wiping her tears and said softly, "What's wrong? Did you get wronged outside?"

This person has always been a person who cannot be bullied. If he is wronged, he will fight back. If worst comes to worst, he will come and complain to me. He will never be bullied to the point of crying.

But now the tears are like clear spring water, flowing out one after another, and can't be stopped. This must be a sign of how badly she has been bullied.

The more Mu Yunting thought about it, the more distressed he felt. He sat up suddenly, helped Su Nuan up, and checked her from head to toe. Seeing that she was not injured, he felt relieved.

Su Nuan was startled by his sudden behavior, and her tears finally stopped. She looked at him blankly with misty eyes.

"Tell me who bullied you."

If the previous sentence was a question, this sentence is already an order.

The cold tone made clear what Mu Yunting didn't say. As long as Su Nuan mentioned a name, he would immediately make that person pay.

But what would he do if this person was him or Xun Zheng?

Su Nuan smiled bitterly.

Feeling like she was about to cry again, she took a deep breath and quickly suppressed the bitterness that was welling up in her heart.

"Your Highness, you are joking. I am the Crown Prince's concubine. No one dares to bully me. It's getting late. Your Highness, please take a rest."

After saying that, Su Nuan adjusted the pillow for Mu Yunting and motioned him to lie down with a smile.

Mu Yunting looked at Su Nuan in confusion. No matter what she said or the fake smile on her face, it gave him a feeling of alienation. But she was smiling at him, so no matter whether it was a real smile or a fake one, he obediently lay down on the pillow that Su Nuan had just arranged.

Su Nuan seemed very satisfied. She turned around, adjusted her pillow, and lay down facing Mu Yunting.

She looked at him and sketched his appearance in her mind so that she could draw it for her children later.

Mu Yunting felt uneasy. This woman was acting very strange tonight. First, she was very angry because he quarreled with her. Then, she burst into tears because of a love word. Now, she was looking at him with such a strange look. He didn't know what she would do next.

I was on high alert, ready to deal with any emergency at any time.

Neither of them felt sleepy.

Just staring at each other was not a solution, so Mu Yunting said, "I heard that you went to the Imperial Observatory to see Master Liu today. Is there anything?"

He sent Ye Yin to secretly protect Su Nuan. He naturally knew Su Nuan's whereabouts very well, but in order to show his respect for Su Nuan, he did not let Ye Yin deliberately inquire about what Su Nuan said or did to others.

It would be fine if this matter was not mentioned. But when it was mentioned, Su Nuan's mind unconsciously popped up what Lord Liu said, "That day brought good luck to Miss Xun."

"nothing."

Su Nuan pretended to be calm.

"If you have anything to ask Lord Liu, I'll have him come to the mansion."

Seeing that she didn't look happy when Lord Liu was mentioned, Mu Yunting guessed that the thing she asked Lord Liu to do was not going well.

"No, it's nothing important."

"If you have any more problems, you can come to me. I can help you get twice the result with half the effort."

"It's just a small matter. Why bother His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come in person?"

"I'm worried that you'll be wronged outside."

"What if you are the one who made me feel wronged?"

Hearing this, Mu Yunting was slightly startled, and then he realized that the woman was acting awkward tonight because of him.

But I haven’t seen her all day, so how did I offend her?

Is it because I didn’t come to accompany her for a whole day?

No, she is not that kind of person.

The problem still lies with the Imperial Observatory. She went to the Imperial Observatory to find Madam Shen, so she must be going to find the director Liu Qi, and this matter is most likely related to her.

The only thing that connected me to the Imperial Observatory was...

"Do you want to ask Liu Qi to calculate a date for the birth of a boy?"

Mu Yunting's eyes lit up frighteningly when he asked this question.

Su Nuan didn't know whether she was frightened by what he said or by his eyes, and she shrank unconsciously.

"It would be great if the first child is a boy, but I would also like a girl. You don't have to ask for that specifically. As for the auspicious time, you don't have to think about it. The time when our child is born is the auspicious time. In short, as long as the child you give birth to is a boy or a girl, no matter what day it is born, it will be my baby."

He became more and more excited as he spoke, and after he finished speaking, Mu Yunting kissed Su Nuan on the forehead.

Su Nuan was completely confused.

His words sounded as if he was looking forward to having a child, and he particularly emphasized that it was his own child.

But is the focus the child or the person giving birth to the child?

"Your Highness is looking forward to having a child?"

"of course."

"Can anyone give birth to one?"

"of course not!"

Mu Yunting's face turned slightly dark.

"But this child is born out of wedlock. If it's a girl, it's fine, but if it's a boy, wouldn't his identity be embarrassing?"

Mu Yunting's face darkened even more.

"Who said he was born out of wedlock? Your child is my legitimate child."

"But......"

Su Nuan wanted to say something, but suddenly an idea made her shut her mouth. Only the child of the principal wife can be called a legitimate son. Could it be that Xun Zheng had some hidden illness that prevented her from having children, so this person asked her to have a child and give it to Xun Zheng to raise.

No, I have to ask Doctor Yao tomorrow. He has taken Xun Zheng's pulse and should be able to tell if Xun Zheng has any hidden illness.

Mu Yunting was a little angry at the two questions. He didn't notice Su Nuan's changing look at all. He moved Su Nuan's shoulder, stared into her eyes and said, "No buts. Don't worry about the child. I guarantee that he will be of noble status."

How could Su Nuan feel at ease? The child was extremely noble, so what would happen to her? Whether she was honored by her child or was killed to keep the child, there was a huge difference between the two.

If a mother is honored by her son, then that means that both she and her child are more important in his heart. If the mother were to die and only the child was left, then it would be very sad for her.

Really wanting to know what kind of ending she would have in his heart, Su Nuan gritted her teeth and looked at Mu Yunting with a firm gaze.

"Your Highness, if the Crown Princess gives birth to a child in the future, will my child still be noble?"

Mu Yunting frowned slightly.

Su Nuan's heart slowly sank.

After a long time, Su Nuan had closed her eyes, and suddenly heard Mu Yunting say, "She can't have children."

Su Nuan's heart skipped a beat. She had guessed it right. It was really because Xun Zheng couldn't have children. No wonder Mu Yunting said those things.
