Chapter 25 Shen Xiuyan's Doubts
Chapter 25 Shen Xiuyan's Doubts
Shen Xiuyan then suppressed his own thoughts and tried to persuade Li Tingxue again. However, he found that no matter what he said, Li Tingxue was determined not to breastfeed Xiao Le'an.
Seeing Li Tingxue's resolute attitude, Shen Xiuyan had no choice but to agree with her.
"Alright! As long as you don't regret it later, that's fine. After all, you always said that you should breastfeed your children yourself so that they will be closer to you, their biological mother, and not so close to the wet nurses. Remember how good you are as a mother!"
Li Tingxue just stared at her, biting her lip without saying a word.
Shen Xiuyan could only comfort him again: "Alright, if those brats don't behave properly towards you in the future, I'll break their legs."
"If you had to choose between the child and me, who would you choose?"
"Of course I'd choose you! After all, we're meant to be together in life and death!" Shen Xiuyan said without hesitation.
With red eyes, Li Tingxue asked, "Shen Xiuyan, did you ever love me?"
"Of course, otherwise how could we have so many children?"
The words had barely left her lips when Li Tingxue's tears began to flow uncontrollably: "Waaah... Shen Xiuyan, do you really love me? Do you love the past me or the real me now?"
Hmm... Why can't he understand what his wife is saying? What exactly does she mean?
Like a tongue twister, Shen Xiuyan was instantly confused by the meaning behind the sentence.
So he said firmly, "Yes, no matter the past or the present, you are the one I love most."
"Shen Xiuyan, you're a liar! You said the same thing to Han Lanjiao before, have you forgotten?" Li Tingxue said emotionally.
"You used to love Han Lanjiao so much, and you did so many foolish things for her, but how are you treating her now? You even want to send her to the Dali Temple."
She just loved you so much and wanted to send the child to you to be with you, but you treated her like this. Do you know what she went through when she went back? She…
At this moment, Shen Xiuyan was even wondering if Li Tingxue had been switched, how come she had become so sentimental and so... prone to crying.
After all, in his eyes, his wife was definitely not someone who would neglect their child for the sake of her so-called figure, even though she had recovered very well before!
But this time, not only did she refuse to breastfeed her daughter after giving birth, she also came up with such a lame excuse to fob him off.
Moreover, she has a cheerful and generous personality and would never cry easily; in fact, he would always comfort her.
Thinking about this, he felt even more puzzled. How could he have imagined that his wife had been switched? Hmm, could it be that his daughter's influence had affected his thinking, and he was acting a little strangely now?
But he was absolutely certain that this was his wife! He could see the birthmark behind her ear; this was definitely his wife!
Wait, wait, wait, no, no!
He didn't seem to have told his wife about their daughter being switched, and he also gave orders that no one was allowed to tell his wife about what happened that day.
But how did she find out? Did some gossipy servant tell her?
But if his wife knew about that, she would never look so pitiful and tearful in front of him.
Instead, she would loudly question him, and might even start a fight, demanding an explanation from him!
Suddenly, Shen Xiuyan raised his head and carefully examined Li Tingxue, because he thought of something terrible.
Although the matter is still uncertain, he can't help but think about it, and he can't control himself from thinking about it!
After all, he could hear his mother's thoughts, so if anything strange happened, it probably wouldn't be just his imagination!
Furthermore, in his mother's eyes, he was definitely the male lead, with a promising future in his career, so what he was going to do must be right, right?
However, what he didn't know was that in the storyline Jiang Mianmian was seeing, his fate had already changed, and he was about to become someone else's stepping stone, a complete cannon fodder.
"Oh dear, Tingxue, please don't be angry! I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have kept it from you. I was just worried that seeing you in your postpartum period would upset you," Shen Xiuyan asked tentatively.
Seeing the resentful look in Li Tingxue's eyes, he continued, "Tingxue, didn't you say before that even if I hid something from you, as long as it wasn't intentional, you wouldn't blame me? Have you forgotten?"
In fact, Li Tingxue never said those words. He was just testing her to see how she would react after he said them. If she actually went along with what he said, then she…
After saying that, a hint of confusion flashed in Li Tingxue's eyes, but she still nodded: "Yes, I forgive you."
What's so great about that ugly woman that you're trying to coax her like this? She's completely forgotten what you used to say to me, and only remembers her good points.
Thinking of this, Han Lanjiao felt a sharp pain in her heart!
She gave up Shen Xiuyan for the position of Princess Consort, but she never expected to lose the wolf's den. Who knew that the Anyang Prince's Mansion was only superficially glorious, but rotten inside.
Last time, she deliberately bumped into Li Tingxue with the help of Situ Junwen's people, which caused her to have a premature birth and have the baby switched. Otherwise, how could a woman confined to her home have managed to do it?
In the end, the attempt to switch the pieces failed, and not only could he not expose Situ Junwen's scheme, he also had to take all the blame. Because he was so good at pretending, outsiders had no idea that he had committed such evil deeds.
She was well aware of Situ Junwen's ruthlessness, especially since his daughter's life was in her hands. Therefore, she dared not resist, which is why...
Shen Xiuyan, if... if I had chosen you back then, would things have turned out differently?
Han Lanjiao's eyes were filled with tears: "Husband, I have never been angry with you, it's just... it's just that I feel very sad. You were so much better to her back then, but now you've changed your mind and fallen in love with someone else, haven't you?"
If one day I become ugly, or you find that my personality has changed, will you still love me? Xiuyan, can you give me a promise that you will not fall in love with someone else in the future?
"Swear to God, if you fall in love with someone else, may you be torn to pieces and die a horrible death!"
After hearing Li Tingxue's words, Shen Xiuyan only had one thought: "My God, is this woman a Black Widow?"
That's really vicious!
Now, Shen Xiuyan was even more certain that the woman in front of him was definitely not his wife, because his wife loved him very much and would never have made him swear such a heavy oath.
In the past, no matter how much I angered my wife, she would still joke about her own life. That's the difference between her and my wife. A person who loves you will value your life extremely much.
