After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband

Chapter 1235 - 38: Love Debt (Part 14)_2

Knowing that Su Jin had extraordinary medical skills, one by one, those mischievous sons and daughters of Daqi families came bursting out, and Dong Chenglang took the opportunity during his visit to Daqi to ask Xie Jingchen for the secret formula.Xie Jingchen didn’t have any secret formula for having children to give him.

He gave Dong Chenglang one of Su Jin’s almost cliché secret formulas.

After returning to Nanlin, Dong Chenglang presented it as if it were a treasure to Prime Minister Zhao.

Prime Minister Zhao almost had him beaten out of the house.

He was already a grandfather, and although having no sons was somewhat a letdown to their ancestors, the issue of offspring relied on fate and couldn’t be forced.

A son-in-law giving his father-in-law a secret formula for having children just seemed plain improper.

After being rebuffed, Dong Chenglang didn’t dare to visit the Zhao family for three months.

When Mrs. Zhao Xiang found out, she was annoyed at her son-in-law’s lack of decorum, but, anger aside, she secretly retrieved the formula to take a look.

At first, she thought it required taking medicine, but it turned out it didn’t.

Mrs. Zhao Xiang began to follow the formula intentionally or unintentionally, thinking that getting pregnant would certainly be wonderful, but if not, there was no loss.

Two years passed.

Mrs. Zhao Xiang had given up hope.

The result——

She got pregnant.

Twenty years had passed.

It had been exactly twenty years since she had given birth to Miss Zhao, and now she was pregnant again.

Mrs. Zhao Xiang felt like she was dreaming.

Prime Minister Zhao feared it was a mistake and invited several Imperial Physicians to check her pulse. Only after they confirmed it was a happy pulse did he dare to offer incense and report to their ancestors, also praying that the ancestors would bless them with a son to continue the Zhao family lineage.

And as expected, it was a son.

On the day Mrs. Zhao Xiang gave birth, hearing the child’s cries and the midwife’s announcement of a son, Prime Minister Zhao was moved to tears.

After the birth of the new son, Dong Chenglang’s status as the brother-in-law rose swiftly.

Prime Minister Zhao found him pleasing in every way.

Young Master Zhao was only five years old, small in stature, but his status was far from ordinary.

The Emperor was his big brother.

The Crown Prince had to call him uncle.

Princess Yinchuan, having decided to visit the Zhao Xiang Mansion on short notice without bringing any gifts, felt a bit awkward.

She thought to herself that she would definitely pick out gifts for them when she went shopping later.

Just as they finished a meal, the Heir’s wife of Duke Ning, also Grandma Zhao, returned home for a visit.

She had heard about her young cousin and was curious, so she had specially returned to the mansion to have a look.

Mrs. Zhao Xiang did not hide anything from her and truthfully revealed Princess Yinchuan’s identity.

Grandma Zhao was both amused and frustrated.

What was even more amusing and frustrating came afterward.

Prime Minister Zhao’s standing in court was unquestionable, but unfortunately, his offspring were sparse. Now that a young cousin had appeared, she hadn’t even entered the Zhao family before she was welcomed into the palace and had become fast friends with the Empress.

Those ministers who wanted to form an alliance with the Zhao family would flock to inquire whether Princess Yinchuan was betrothed.

And those who were on good terms with Prime Minister Zhao would shamelessly throw tantrums trying to have their sons or grandsons marry Princess Yinchuan.

Prime Minister Zhao, "...."

Mrs. Zhao Xiang, "...."

Their heads ached.

Could they decide the marriage of Princess Yinchuan when she was only living temporarily with the Zhao family?

She was a Princess of Beimo with a marriage contract.

Just as Prime Minister Zhao was preparing to push this difficult problem onto the Emperor, Princess Yinchuan, having changed into her dress and ready to enter the palace, came to say goodbye to Prime Minister Zhao and Mrs. Zhao Xiang.

The ministers were shocked by Princess Yinchuan’s complexion when they saw her.

Unaware of what happened, Princess Yinchuan said a word of parting and then left.

As soon as she left, the ministers said, "Well, there’s something at the mansion I need to attend to, so I’ll be heading back first."

"I remembered there’s something urgent at the office, I’ll leave first and pay a visit some other day."

"...."

Each came quickly and left just as swiftly.

Prime Minister Zhao hadn’t even said a word before everyone had left.

Prime Minister Zhao and Mrs. Zhao Xiang looked at each other.

They both felt like dying.

Wasn’t it obvious they were displeased with Princess Yinchuan’s dark skin?!

Princess Yinchuan’s peach blossoms withered quickly and only after they had withered did she become aware of it.

Su Yang’s peach blossoms bloomed a few days later, but once they did, they remained in full bloom.

The adopted son of Prince Jing, after all.

Prince Jing had no sons, and his only daughter, Princess Fuqing, had married into Daqi.

For all these years, he couldn’t have another son, and now he recognized an adopted son, which obviously meant he saw him as an heir to the family line.

This adopted son might find himself as the Heir of Prince Jing someday.

Those ministers who couldn’t place their daughters in the harem started eyeing Su Yang, wanting to marry their daughters to him.

There were countless noble sons inviting Su Yang to go boating and admire the flowers.

Su Yang’s head ached.

Boating was fine, he naturally enjoyed liveliness, but couldn’t they stop using boating as a pretense for an orchestrated meeting?

Zhao Xu knew about these matters, and upon hearing them, Princess Yinchuan feared Su Yang’s romantic prospects weren’t brilliant enough, so she had her imperial sister persuade Zhao Xu to bestow a marriage upon Su Yang.
