Chapter 304 Am I your biological son?
Yun Shang had a feeling that something was off about Shen's tone.
He frowned slightly, his gaze fixed on the bowl of dark medicine, and said, "Tonic? Mother, I feel perfectly fine."
Madam Shen sighed heavily.
He gently pushed the medicine bowl in front of Yunshang and slowly sat down in the chair opposite him.
She opened her mouth, hesitated several times before speaking, her face full of conflict.
Seeing Shen's appearance, Yun Shang raised her hand to rub her temples and gently advised, "Mother, you can just say what you want to say."
Shen opened her mouth again, her eyes darting away.
After hesitating for a long time, he stammered, "It's... Shang'er..."
She paused, a blush rising to her cheeks. "Tell your mother the truth, you and Yu Niang have been married for so long, why hasn't Yu Niang gotten pregnant yet? Is it... is it because of your..."
At this point, Madam Shen found it difficult to speak, and her old face turned even redder. But when she thought about having a grandson, she gritted her teeth and finished speaking, "Is it because you have some kind of difficulty in that area?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Shang nearly choked on the tea he was about to drink, and his face instantly flushed with embarrassment and awkwardness.
He never expected that his mother would think in this way!
Looking at Shen's eyes, which were full of worry and expectation, Yun Shang felt helpless.
She could only try to remain calm and explained, "Mother, what are you thinking? Yu Wan and I are both fine."
He shook his head slightly, emphasizing, "There's nothing wrong with it!"
Madam Shen immediately replied, "Yu Niang is naturally fine, but you..."
As she spoke, she was half-believing and half-doubting, her gaze sweeping back and forth across Yun Shang's face, as if trying to find a flaw in his expression.
After a moment, she sighed heavily and said earnestly, "Son, we can't ignore our illness and avoid seeking medical help."
Yun Shang: "..."
Yun Shang was speechless for a moment, and sighed inwardly, realizing what it felt like to be unable to speak.
He looked at the bowl of dark medicine on the table, feeling utterly helpless.
He couldn't very well tell Madam Shen that he and Yu Wan hadn't consummated their marriage yet.
Madam Shen didn't know what Yun Shang was thinking. Seeing that he didn't speak, she became anxious: "Shang'er, you and Yu Niang have been married for so long, and I've been waiting for you for so long. I've heard people say that if a couple has been married for a long time without any results, it's mostly the man's problem."
Her eyes were full of pleading, "You're my only son, you have to carry on the Yun family line!"
As she spoke, she pushed the bowl of medicine towards Yun Shang and winked, saying, "This medicine was hard for Mother to find. She said it's very nourishing. You should drink it quickly."
Yun Shang looked at the bowl of medicine that emitted a strange smell, his brows furrowing into a deep frown.
He suppressed his inner turmoil and asked, "Has Mother mentioned this to Yu Niang?"
Madam Shen waved her hand without hesitation, "How could I? I can't bear to rush Yu Niang."
Yun Shang: "..."
So it's better to suspect that he has a problem.
"Mother, am I your own son?"
Madam Shen looked at him, bewildered. "If you're not my biological son, then who is?"
Yun Shang was speechless. He took a deep breath and remained silent.
He understood that in his mother's heart, Yu Wan, her daughter-in-law, was more important than him, her son.
Yun Shang knew that Shen would not give up until she achieved her goal, so she picked up the bowl and drank the medicine in it in one gulp.
The medicine went down his throat, and the bitterness instantly spread in his mouth. He pursed his lips tightly, enduring the discomfort, and swallowed the medicine.
Seeing that he had finished drinking it, Madam Shen finally showed a relieved smile and said with satisfaction, "That's right. From now on, I will make it for you every day, and you must drink it on time."
Madam Shen left the study with the medicine bowl, satisfied.
Yu Wan happened to be walking towards the study when the two met in the corridor. She saw that Madam Shen was carrying a bowl of medicine and asked, puzzled, "Mother-in-law, is this medicine? Is my husband sick?"
Shen instinctively hid the medicine bowl behind her back, her eyes darting around, avoiding Yu Wan's gaze, and said with an awkward smile:
"Ah, yes, Shang'er has been too busy lately. I was worried that he would ruin his health, so I asked Physician Feng to prescribe some tonics for him."
She didn't lie to her daughter-in-law.
This "tonic medicine" was indeed prescribed by the renowned physician Feng, and it does indeed nourish the body, but it specifically targets that aspect...
Yu Wan had no suspicions.
Madam Shen looked at Yu Wan gently, "You've come to find Shang'er?"
Yu Wan nodded obediently, "I have some questions I want to ask him."
Madam Shen stepped aside and instructed, "Then you should go quickly. It's windy outside, don't catch a cold."
Yu Wan stepped into the study.
Yun Shang looked up when she heard footsteps and saw that it was Yu Wan. Her originally cold eyes softened instantly.
Yu Wan walked to the table, blinked her bright eyes, and asked Yun Shang, "Mother just brought medicine to my husband, but is he feeling unwell?"
Yun Shang assumed that Madam Shen wouldn't tell Yu Wan what the medicine was for, and said without changing her expression, "I'm not feeling unwell. It's just that Mother is worrying too much, afraid that I'll get sick."
Yu Wan said "Oh" as if she understood, then put her hands on the table, propped her chin up, and leaned on the table, gazing longingly at Yun Shang.
Yun Shang felt increasingly hot under her intense gaze.
I couldn't help but wonder if the charcoal fire in the room was burning too brightly.
His eyes flickered slightly as he flipped through the book beside him, trying to conceal his unease, and asked, "What is it?"
Yu Wan raised an eyebrow and deliberately said, "Can't I come to see you if there's nothing wrong?"
Even though he knew she was doing it on purpose, Yun Shang wasn't displeased. He gently curved his lips into a smile, looked up at her, and said with doting eyes, "Yes, you can come to me whenever you want."
The man's dark eyes were unfathomable, as if they could suck away one's soul.
Yu Wan immediately chickened out, feeling her face burning hot, and quickly lowered her head to talk about the important matter.
"I wanted to ask you, is there any follow-up to Lord Su's matter?"
Two members of the Su family have died. Su's father was killed by assassins hired by Consort De, but the identity of Su Mu's killer remains a mystery.
When it came to serious matters, Yun Shang's eyes turned cold. "Today, Consort De went to deliver soup to the Emperor, but accidentally spilled the soup bowl. The Emperor used the excuse of her disrespect in front of the Emperor to confine her to her quarters for a month. Afterwards, he sent Liu Haifu to the Imperial Clan Court to deliver a message and released Prince Yong."
The release of Prince Yong was within Yu Wan's expectations.
But the thought that Prince Yong, that beastly bastard, had actually been released filled her with rage.
She gritted her teeth inwardly and said angrily, "Prince Yong has committed countless evil deeds, yet he was released so easily! Is Su Mu's death just going to be left unresolved like this?"
Yun Shang reached out and poured her a cup of tea, her voice gentle as she reassured her, "Of course we won't let it go like that."
Yu Wan looked up and met Yun Shang's gaze, catching a fleeting glimpse of murderous intent in his eyes.
She was immediately relieved.
Yun Shang had her eye on Prince Yong, and she was just waiting to see what would happen to him.
Yu Wan frowned as she thought of the Su family's situation. "I don't know what's going on with the Jiang family. They suddenly don't want to break off the engagement anymore. These past two days, the Jiang family has been coming to harass Miss Su every day, but I've had them stopped."
Upon hearing this, Yun Shang mentioned to Yu Wan that she had met Su Qingchan that day.
Upon hearing this, Yu Wan jumped up in anger, "He actually paid someone to kidnap Miss Su?!"
