Chapter 137: Don’t force her to consummate the marriage, protect her freedom
"In this life, the ones I am most deeply bound to are the ones who gave birth to me and the ones I gave birth to. From the day I agreed to marry the prince, I have been unable to repay my parents for their kindness in raising me. Fortunately, I have four brothers who have been filial to them for me, so I don't have to worry about anything for them. The only ones left are the ones I gave birth to."
"The prince is a worrying person, and I can't accompany him for his whole life. Now that He'er is by his side, I don't have to worry about his second half of life. To me, He'er can accompany and take care of my son for his whole life. What else can she be but a benefactor? If it were another woman, the prince's future would be unimaginable."
After the princess said this, Nanny Si also understood.
"But now the Crown Prince's wife and the Crown Prince have not yet consummated their marriage."
"Let this matter take its course. We must not let He'er suffer any injustice. If a woman has no intention of consummating the marriage, what is the difference between this and being forced?"
"That's what the princess said, but we have to have a child, right?"
"In this world, when a man is born, he is given all kinds of high hopes, such as studying and learning literature, the six arts of a gentleman, the rise and fall of the family, a career in politics, etc. What about girls? It seems that they are expected to grow up, get married and have children. Why is the fate of girls only to get married and have children?"
Nanny Si sighed secretly.
What happened to the princess today?
Things that I haven't said for many years are being repeated again today.
"If He'er doesn't want to have a baby, then don't do it. It's up to her. As long as she is happy and casual as possible as being my daughter-in-law, that's fine!" The princess made up her mind to protect Ji Chuhe's original intention.
Just like, protecting the young and helpless self I once was.
Nanny Si didn't dare to persuade her anymore.
She knew that no matter what she said today, the princess would not listen.
……
Concubine Gao originally wanted to find Ji Chuhe to reduce his arrogance, but she was rejected. After returning, she was very angry.
She is unwilling!
Not only had they found such a good marriage for their son, but it was ruined by Ji Chuhejing, and the good reputation they had built up for so long was all ruined!
I don’t know what the situation is in the city right now!
"Ji Chuhe didn't interrogate Ming'er, so how did she know that Ming'er was the adopted daughter of the mansion?" Concubine Gao could never figure this out.
Also, Ji Chuhe should have received the news about her brother becoming a new favorite in front of the emperor at the same time as them.
"Concubine, could it be that the princess has been spying on us?"
Concubine Gao nodded, "That's the only way it makes sense. But the last time the Second Young Master was injured, the Princess didn't suspect anything, and she didn't even have any suspicious reaction afterwards, as if she didn't know anything."
"What the concubine meant was that this matter had nothing to do with the princess, and was just a plot by Ji Chuhe alone? Could it be that the princess was pretending to be so? She was deliberately letting us down."
"Pretending? The Rong family would never do such a double-faced thing. As for whether they are really monitoring the Gao family's every move, we need to observe further." Concubine Gao's thoughts were in a mess.
"Concubine, the servant we sent out to gather information is back."
"Let him in quickly."
After the servant came in and paid his respects, Concubine Gao immediately asked about the situation.
"Are there any rumors about the Second Young Master in the city?"
"Yes." The servant said, and immediately lowered his head.
"What was passed on?"
"Spread...spread the story about the Second Young Master and that little nun...said that the Second Young Master..." The servant stammered, not daring to say what he had heard outside.
Concubine Gao did not press the issue any further. She knew with a little guessing that the words were not good.
"Concubine, what should we do now? Do we really want to marry Ming'er into our family?"
"Impossible!" Concubine Gao immediately retorted, "I won't say a word about taking a concubine! When the prince comes back, if he doesn't ask, I will find a way to deal with this matter!"
Concubine Gao’s plan is to make Ming’er disappear from this world!
Before long, everyone will forget about this matter and let Jincheng put on a show. By then, people will praise the second young master for his loyalty!
But, that Huijing has not been found yet.
If you find it, you can start with Huijing.
Now that Huijing has died, it would be easy to trap Ming'er in Qinglian Temple for three years, under the pretext of mourning.
Could it be that Huijing is in Ji Chuhe's hands?
Concubine Gao's heart couldn't help but sink!
Ji Chuhe’s scheming is so terrifying!
This kind of person must not be allowed to stay!
"Concubine, but something happened on the street today that overshadowed the rumors about the Second Young Master." The servant spoke again.
"What's the matter?" Concubine Gao was secretly happy.
"Ji County Magistrate's wife, Miss Ji, and son-in-law Shen Chengjing were beaten up in the street by Ji County Magistrate."
"There is such a thing!" Concubine Gao was shocked, "Tell me the details quickly."
"Shen Chengjing owed a lot of money before, and Madam Ji didn't let Miss Ji and Shen Chengjing divorce. She even embezzled the Ji family's money to secretly help Shen Chengjing pay off his debts! Then they were discovered by County Magistrate Ji. The three wanted to escape, but they failed. After County Magistrate Ji caught them, he couldn't help but beat them up in the street."
"In a rage, Magistrate Ji wrote a letter of divorce to Madam Ji on the street, and ordered people to bring Miss Ji back to the mansion. Now everyone is saying that the abandoned woman Geng and Shen Chengjing have a secret relationship!"
“Hahaha.” Concubine Gao suddenly laughed, “The Ji Mansion is really a mess! As far as I know, Geng and Ji Qingyuan hate Ji Chuhe to death, right?”
"Yes, concubine, the princess also helped Ji Chuhe vent her anger and beat Geng and Ji Qingyuan."
"Okay, very good!" Concubine Gao already had a plan in mind.
Two days later.
Prince Huaiyang returned home.
Xiao Yan'an and Xiao Jincheng also returned with him.
As soon as he entered the palace, the prince ordered the princess to hold a family banquet in Changning Palace.
The princess responded and went to prepare.
When the news reached Changning Palace, Concubine Xu snorted coldly.
"You've remembered me now!"
She is now a person who just sits back and waits for death. All her subordinates have been laid off. The person who manages the shop only comes once a month to hand in the account books to her.
It seemed that all the assets under her name were recorded on the surface and belonged to her, but she could not use the money as she pleased.
"Do you know what happened? Why does the prince suddenly want to hold a family dinner?" The concubine asked the person serving beside her.
"My lady, I don't know."
Concubine Xu took a deep breath.
Not only is he now eating and waiting to die, he is also deaf and blind. He can neither hear any news nor see any truth.
She never had to worry about arranging a family banquet, so she turned around and went back to the inner room.
"Just say that I am not feeling well and will not attend the family dinner."
"Yes." The maid prepared to go downstairs to pass on the message.
After saying this, Concubine Xu regretted it again. What if there was something exciting to watch?
"Wait! I will join in."
"Yes." The maid came back immediately and responded.
……
As soon as Xiao Yan'an entered the inner courtyard, he was stopped by Xu Yan'er.
Xu Yan'er immediately threw herself into his arms.
"Yan'er, don't be like this." Xiao Yan'an pushed her.
"No, I want to hold the prince in my arms. Prince, you've been gone for so many days. Do you know how much Yan'er misses you? Every day I can't eat or sleep. I can't wait to run to Yunze Mountain to find the prince."
Xiao Yan'an discovered that Xu Yan'er had indeed lost weight, so he believed what she said.
