Chapter 826: The Disabled Young Master 39

Tang Wan immediately nodded upon hearing this.

“He looks like a very flirtatious person. Tongtong, you're such a devoted person. What if he leads you astray? I don't want you bringing concubines home for me in the future!”

Only after seeing how much Tang Wan truly disliked someone like He Chong did He Jiantong finally feel completely reassured.

Then he smiled at Tang Wan and said, “So my wife is actually a little vinegar jar!”

But he truly adored this domineering side of hers.

Tang Wan didn't feel embarrassed in the slightest. She simply said, “So what if I am jealous? I don't want to share you with other women, Tongtong.”

He Jiantong was even happier upon hearing this.

Then he tightened his grip on her hand and said, “Don't worry. Besides you, I don't want anyone else!”

“You said it yourself!” Tang Wan immediately smiled, looking very pleased.

“Of course. I guarantee I won't go back on my word!” He Jiantong said, the corners of his lips curving upward.

In his heart, however, he wished Tang Wan could be even more domineering, with only him in her heart and eyes, never sparing another person even a glance!

……

The New Year soon passed.

During the Lantern Festival, Chu Pan'er of the Dongbo Marquis's Residence went into premature labor and gave birth to a baby boy.

As for herself, because the baby was too large, she suffered a difficult delivery and nearly died from massive blood loss.

The Old Madam of the Marquis's Residence had actually intended to keep the child and get rid of the mother all along. After all, Chu Pan'er's birth was too lowly, and in her eyes, she simply wasn't worthy of becoming the principal wife of the Dongbo Marquis's Residence.

Thus, she had intended to have Chu Pan'er killed while she was giving birth, and then marry Li Shuai to another noble young lady from a family of equal standing.

However, she hadn't expected that Li Shuai was still deeply in love with Chu Pan'er at this point. When he heard that only one of the mother and child could be saved, he immediately chose Chu Pan'er and declared that if anything happened to her, he would simply die as well!

The Old Madam was frightened by his words. Only then did she change her mind and decide to spare Chu Pan'er's life.

And because the child was premature and hadn't had time to grow excessively large, while Chu Pan'er also had the female protagonist's halo, she actually managed to survive the massive blood loss.

For a time, the Dongbo Marquis's Residence was filled with joy over the successful birth of its newest male heir.

As for the dirty affairs taking place in the rear courtyard, neither Li Shuai nor Chu Pan'er had the slightest idea about them.

……

Tang Wan wasn't surprised when she learned that Chu Pan'er had given birth to a baby boy.

After all, wasn't that what it meant to be the female protagonist?

A street thug who had secretly exchanged romantic promises with her could even transform into the lofty Young Marquis of the Marquis's Residence. So it wasn't surprising that she would give birth to a son and establish herself firmly in the Marquis's Residence.

However, judging from their chance encounter at the shop last time, Chu Pan'er had already become considerably more arrogant because of the change in her status.

And after Li Shuai became the Young Marquis, it was absolutely impossible for him to have only her as his principal wife.

Once concubines entered the household in the future, if she continued to think highly of herself by relying on her status and Li Shuai's favor, there would come a time when she would suffer for it.

……

With the Marquis's Residence welcoming a new child, naturally, the baby's one-month celebration had to be a grand affair.

He Jiantong's relationship with the Dongbo Marquis's Residence was still fairly good, so naturally, he had to bring a gift and attend the celebration.

On the day of the one-month celebration, Tang Wan wore a pink long robe and went to the Marquis's Residence together with He Jiantong.

After they arrived, the male guests sat together, while the female guests went to see Chu Pan'er, offering her auspicious words and congratulations.

When Chu Pan'er saw Tang Wan approaching, a smug look immediately appeared in her eyes.

“Wanwan, you got married before me, but now I've already had a child. How come there's still no movement from your belly?”

In her heart, she was thinking: Fortunately, I didn't marry He Jiantong. Looking at Tang Wan like this, it's obvious that he must be incapable!
