TFWYH – Chapter 640 Having a Baby Is Not an Option

The Third Prince’s Consort slightly raised her brows. Before she could even speak, Huangfu Que was already displeased. He glared at Gu Yanshuang and said, “Second Sister-in-law, what do you mean by that? I didn’t provoke you, so why are you cursing my son?”

Gu Yanshuang choked with anger. “When did this Princess Consort curse your son? I was merely stating the truth.”

“Oh, merely stating the truth, huh? What day is today? I brought my wife and son to wish Father Emperor a Happy New Year—is there something wrong with that? And if there is, then this prince will take my consort and leave right now, alright?”

Huangfu Que was famous for his sharp tongue. People said he had never won a fight in his life, but never lost an argument either.

As he spoke, he immediately turned to a nearby eunuch and said, “This prince is leaving now. When Father Emperor and Mother Empress arrive later, tell them that Second Sister-in-law dislikes us, so we’ve taken our leave first.”

Having said that, Huangfu Que turned as though truly intending to leave while supporting his wife.

Huangfu Yi shot Gu Yanshuang a glare before hurriedly speaking up. “Third Brother, your sister-in-law didn’t mean it that way. Today is New Year’s Eve, a day of reunion. If you leave, wouldn’t that ruin the mood? Come, come, sit down. Later, the two of us brothers can properly drink a few cups together.”

Huangfu Que had not truly intended to leave anyway. Seeing Huangfu Yi offering him a graceful way out, he naturally took it.

But his mouth remained merciless.

“I’ll let it go for Second Brother’s sake then. But Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law’s temper seems to have grown as quickly as her figure lately. It’s one thing for her to bully my wife and child, but when Father Emperor and Mother Empress arrive later, she’d better not speak carelessly and offend them too.”

“Third Brother is absolutely right. Come sit down, hahaha…” Huangfu Yi smiled on the surface, but there was not a trace of warmth in his eyes.

This matter could have ended there.

But after Huangfu Que carefully helped his wife sit down, Gu Yanshuang—whether out of spite or jealousy—muttered softly, “What’s there to be proud of? Calling it a son over and over… who knows what’s really inside that belly? No telling what kind of thing will come out.”

The Third Prince’s Consort immediately shot her a sharp look.

Huangfu Que also exploded in anger. Slamming the table, he stood up. “Second Brother, can’t you control your consort? She even dares curse imperial descendants? Has her courage grown fat along with the rest of her?”

“Shut up!” Huangfu Yi’s face turned iron-green as he viciously glared at Gu Yanshuang, showing her absolutely no respect anymore. “If you don’t want to stay, then get out and go back. Stop causing trouble for no reason.”

“I…” Gu Yanshuang wanted to defend herself, but the moment she saw the coldness in Huangfu Yi’s eyes, she swallowed all her words back down. Tears welled up in her eyes.

At this point, Huangfu Yi found even looking at her disgusting. He withdrew his gaze, poured himself another cup of wine, and raised it toward Huangfu Que from afar.

“Third Brother, I truly apologize. Once we return, I’ll properly discipline her.”

Huangfu Que sneered but still gave him face by raising his own cup. “You really should control her. Second Brother has spent years fighting wars for our Heavenly Dynasty—you probably don’t even realize your Second Prince’s Residence is practically about to be renamed the Gu Residence.”

After saying this, he drained the wine in one gulp. Once he set the cup down, he no longer looked at Huangfu Yi again.

Huangfu Yi’s expression turned dark and ugly as he forcibly swallowed down the humiliation along with the wine.

The officials all continued chatting among themselves as though they had noticed absolutely nothing happening over there, but in reality every single ear in the hall was perked up.

Several people even kept sneaking glances toward Gu Hengcang.

See? This is the wonderful daughter raised by your Gu family!

What excellent upbringing indeed!

So what if you, Gu Hengcang, are capable?

When it comes to raising children, you truly are hopeless!

Every child you produced turned out to be a headache!

And those troublesome offspring go on to produce even more troublesome offspring!
