What a sin! The most handsome lazy man in the village married a crazy woman.

Chapter 475 Birthday Ceremony

Shangguan Tang's eyes widened in disbelief: "What did you say?"

Gongsun Wan'er cried, "Su Minglang has a concubine. He is no longer my consort!"

Shangguan Tang held her back and said, "Don't say such things. How could a man like Su Minglang have a mistress? Did the mistress provoke you? Did you see the mistress with your own eyes? Did he bring her home?"

Gongsun Wan'er wiped her tears and said, "I didn't see any concubines, and he didn't bring any women home, but I just know that he had a concubine, and I have evidence."

"What evidence?"

"The evidence is in Green Grass Alley. You will accompany me to verify it."

"You haven't even confirmed it yet, but you're saying he has a mistress." Shangguan Tang held his forehead with his hand: "Wan'er, are you overthinking it?"

Gongsun Wan'er shook her head: "I don't think too much, he just has a mistress. If you don't believe me, come with me to check it out."

Shangguan Tang had a headache. Her intuition told her that Gongsun Wan'er was overthinking. Not only was she overthinking, but her emotions also seemed a little off.

"Wan'er, have you been feeling unwell recently?" she asked.

Gongsun Wan'er replied: "I eat well and sleep well, and I am not feeling uncomfortable anywhere."

"But I think something seems to be wrong with you." Shangguan Tang didn't think she was being overly suspicious. As she spoke, she took Gongsun Wan'er's hand and took her pulse.

Gongsun Wan'er frowned: "Cousin, what are you doing?"

Shangguan Tang closed his eyes and felt the pulse: "Take the pulse."

"If you are taking my pulse, why do you put your hand on the back of my hand?" Gongsun Wan'er said puzzledly.

Shangguan Tang: “…”

She opened her eyes and saw that her hands were in the wrong place. She felt extremely embarrassed, but she didn't show it on her face. She calmly changed her position and said with a smile, "I think your hands are tender. Touch them a few more times. Now is the time to take your pulse properly."

Gongsun Wan'er and the maids, nannies and guards beside her: "......"

After so many years of study, Shangguan Tang's medical skills have improved a lot. She felt carefully and actually diagnosed the slippery pulse.

"Wan'er, how long has it been since your period came?"

"I haven't had my period for more than a month." Gongsun Wan'er said, then she realized something belatedly and widened her eyes in surprise: "Cousin, I, I am not pregnant again, am I?"

She already has four children, and she's pregnant again?

Is she so fertile?

Shangguan Tang let go of her hand and nodded seriously: "Yes, you are pregnant."

Gongsun Wan'er was overjoyed, but then she thought of Su Minglang and became sad again: "Why am I so pitiful! This child came at the wrong time!"

The nanny at the side couldn't help it any longer. She was afraid that Gongsun Wan'er would do something stupid and not want the child, so she mustered up the courage to step forward and said, "Princess, perhaps you have misunderstood your husband. Your husband and you are deeply in love, and he would never betray you. Your husband promised you that he would be together forever."

Gongsun Wan'er felt very aggrieved: "But I clearly saw him sneaking to Qingcao Alley with my own eyes. I asked him if he knew Qingcao Alley, but he said he didn't know. He lied to me!"

"If he didn't have a mistress, how could he lie to me?"

"He used to cook for me and was very patient with me, but lately he's been gone a lot."

Shangguan Tang said: "The new emperor ascended the throne, and Su Minglang joined the Ministry of Rites. He is very busy."

No matter how everyone spoke up for Su Minglang, Gongsun Wan'er still felt that Su Minglang no longer loved her.

Shangguan Tang was helpless and had to accompany her to Qingcao Alley. She wanted to see what Su Minglang was hiding from everyone.

Green Grass Alley was not remote, and Shangguan Tang arrived at the place in no time. There were many houses here, and there were many children playing in the alley. Cats and dogs were running around, and leaves covered the ground.

Shangguan Tang and Gongsun Wan'er came to the courtyard where Su Minglang had been, but they did not see Su Minglang. A very young woman came to open the door.

The woman was puzzled when she saw Shangguan Tang and Gongsun Wan'er: "Who are you? Who are you looking for?"

Gongsun Wan'er asked, "Call Su Minglang out."

The woman looked puzzled: "Su Minglang?"

Suddenly, she showed a look of realization and said with a smile: "Are you talking about Master Su? Master has already returned home."

"Yes, it's Lord Su, what did you say?" Gongsun Wan'er was stunned: "He went home? Impossible, my people clearly saw him coming here, but did not see him leave, you..."

Before she finished her words, a servant came hurriedly from the right side and said, "Princess, the prince consort has returned home."

Gongsun Wan'er was stunned.

Shangguan Tang glanced at the yard behind the young woman and saw a lot of miscellaneous lanterns and materials for making lanterns placed in the yard.

"Madam, is your family engaged in the lantern business?" Shangguan Tang asked.

The young woman smiled and nodded: "Yes, my husband's skill in making lanterns is well-known in the capital. Lord Su was impressed by my husband's skill and asked him to help make a big lantern."

Logically, according to the rules of the noble family, if one wanted to make lanterns, one only needed to call the craftsman to the house, and there was no need for the noble to condescend to make a trip. However, Lord Su did not do so. He insisted on coming to their house in person, saying that the matter of making lanterns should not be spread outside, and he wanted to give his wife a surprise.

"Lantern?" Gongsun Wan'er knew she had misheard. She opened her mouth to ask if the young woman was a concubine, but she thought that was too abrupt. If she was not, wouldn't it damage her reputation for nothing? So she changed the subject and asked, "What kind of lantern did he make? Why did he make lanterns?"

The young woman frowned and said, "I can't tell you this. Lord Su forbad us to tell anyone else about this. If you two have nothing else to do, please leave. I have to get busy."

After the young lady closed the door, Gongsun Wan'er asked the guard, "Did the prince consort take a lantern back home?"

The guard nodded: "The prince consort did bring a large lantern back home."

Gongsun Wan'er was puzzled: "Why did he make lanterns and hide it from me?"

Shangguan Tang thought for a moment and said, "Wan'er, I remember you seemed to like lanterns very much."

Gongsun Wan'er nodded: "I like it very much, but so what? Ah, I know that the lantern of the prince consort was made for me."

She instantly became happy: "My husband is really thoughtful. He must want to give me a surprise."

Shangguan Tang breathed a sigh of relief: "You finally figured it out. Let me ask you, is your birthday coming soon?"

Gongsun Wan'er hasn't celebrated her birthday much since she had a child. Before she got married, she used to hold a grand celebration every year.

Gongsun Wan'er nodded and said, "Yes, tomorrow is my birthday."

Her mind suddenly became active: "The prince consort is so mysterious, is he preparing a birthday gift for me?"

Shangguan Tang said: "You will know when you return to the mansion. If you have anything to say, just speak up and don't let your imagination run wild."

Gongsun Wan'er would have all sorts of wild thoughts every time she got pregnant, and she would even imagine things that never happened to be true.
