C40

"You really aren't simple." The Xu family looked at Seventh Seven with sharp eyes.

"Are there any simple people in the Duke Palaces? Elder sister Xu, aren't you the same as us? We're all masked men, and we're only worth half a kilogram against eight taels of silver. " After Qi Qi Qi stood up, she casually picked a seat that was pleasing to the eye and sat there. She had no intention of being polite with the Xu family at all.

"What's your motive for pretending to be so innocent and harmless?" The Xu family stared fixedly at Seventh Seven, their expressions solemn and cautious.

When Mommy Chen saw the current state of Seventh Seven, she couldn't help but slightly open her mouth. Obviously, she never thought that the future Seventh Seven would look like this.

"Ha!" Elder sister Xu's words are completely foreign. Seven or seven people have too little wisdom, they only have to stay alive. "

"Protect yourself!" The Xu family only repeated these two words softly, immediately understanding what seventy to seventy percent was. She once again picked up the teacup and drank a mouthful of tea. When she put down the teacup, she then took a deep breath.

"Since it's to protect your life, why did you tell me the truth today? If you really want to pretend, I believe you can completely hide it from me." When she thought back to the time at Princess Hua-Yang's place, Qiqi had secretly made a face at her, causing her to be filled with confusion.

"Pretending to be for the sake of preserving my life. Now, I've chosen to be honest with Big Sister Xu in order to preserve my life as well."

"What do you mean?"

"Elder sister Xu, do you really not understand? With my background, do you think I can protect this child?" There are so many women in the backyard of the prince's mansion, don't tell me that everyone has been unable to bear a child for so many years, if it's a great disrespect, then if it's true, then I'm afraid that the one who is in trouble is the prince, but I just had to serve the prince, and in such a short period of time, I got pregnant, which means that the prince has no problems, and the problem is the prince's wife and concubine, otherwise how can there be such a coincidence, so many women can not bear a child, since it isn't a coincidence, then it must be man-made. "Also, the problem might be with the prince, but it's not that the prince himself has problems, but it's possible that the actions were done on the prince. The person who did it should have been planning to avoid the other women, since he was unable to give birth to his own child."

"Oh ~ ~ ~" Mrs Xu quietly listened to his analysis. When he stopped talking and looked at her, she gave an indifferent response.

Qi Qi gave a faint smile. She understood what she had said. This Consort Xu Fang might have already understood it, but she still chose to finish what she had said.

It's been so long since I've seen her, and her concubines have such a deep background. If other women were to lay their hands on her eldest son, then her position would be unstable. If I were her, then I wouldn't let other women threaten my position.

"Is that so? If the truth is as you say, you shouldn't be pregnant with a child. Moreover, the prince isn't stupid, and even after Princess Hua-Yang did so many small actions, did she not notice anything at all? "

Xu Sanguan looked calmly at Qi Hua and asked with a faint smile on her face.

"Elder sister Xu is a person who understands. Why must you make my words so clear?" He then continued, "Since Big Sister Xu is interested in hearing what Seventh Madame has to say, then Seventh Seven will have to work hard at home. Seventh Seven's status is low, there is no one to rely on, allowing someone like Seventh Seven to carry a child is not a threat to anyone. Once Seventh Seven Seven is born, it will be very easy for the prince to send the princess to his mother's side. Even if they had, they would not dare to investigate further because of their own reputation and pride. "

"You're a man of your word. Since you can understand the situation so clearly, it shouldn't be difficult for you to protect yourself. Why are you looking for me?" The Xu family did not agree to cooperate easily because of Qi Qi's words. Instead, they continued to probe.

I believe that Big Sister Xu will be given a position below the wangfei, and my heart is filled with grievances. I think that it would be better if we each took the position that you deserve, but I hope that I can have this child safely. If at that time Big Sister Xu doesn't want to see this child in the Prince's Mansion with me, then Seventh Brother will also leave in a clean and crisp manner, and he definitely won't drag the mud and water to stay in the mansion. "

Qi Qi Jian looked at the Xu family neither humbly nor arrogantly, and straightforwardly voiced out his thoughts.

"Leave? "You are willing to leave?" At first, she thought that this Huang Qiqi had spent a lot of time and effort to meet the prince in the garden, then sided with the princess under her name, and had also earned the respect of the princess. Now, with the princess' tacit approval, he was pregnant with the prince's child.

It doesn't matter if you believe me or not, when I coincidentally met the Prince in the garden, he was not my wish and didn't hide it from you. What Qi Qi Qi wanted was to be a couple for life, to grow old from the old age, to be loyal and devoted to each other, and not to be one of these concubines, nor to be a plaything for the Prince. What happened in the past can't be changed, but in the future, Qi Qi still hopes that I can choose my own path.

"Choose it yourself!? What a good choice! "Hahahaha." As if she had heard the funniest joke ever, the Xu family threw their heads back and laughed out loud. As they laughed, tears rolled down their faces.

Qi Qi Qi did not say anything as she waited for Mrs Xu to finish laughing.

After a long while, Mrs Xu took over the wet handkerchief offered by Mrs Chen and covered the corners of her eyes.

"Do you know how difficult it is to choose yourself? How many people in this world can truly choose the life they want to live?"

"I know it's very difficult, but if I don't do it then there's no hope at all. Only after working hard for a while can I have a sliver of hope, and if I know that there's a steel knife hanging over my head that could fall at any time, how could I be willing to die without working hard?"

Mrs Xu was not in a hurry to reply. Instead, she looked at her quietly, as if she really wanted to see what she was thinking from her face.

After all, the child in your stomach may be the only son of the prince. Even if I am willing to take the risk, the prince may not agree to let you leave the palace.

"The only child? As far as I know, the Royal Concubine is actively looking for a good doctor to treat her cold ailment, and has already begun to show some results, at that time, the Royal Concubine will definitely secretly give the Royal Prince the antidote again so that he can conceive. Since the Princess is old now, it's impossible for her to always keep the Prince around, as long as Elder Sister Xu finds a chance to bring the Prince to the West District during that time, it's not impossible for her to impregnate a child. "

"Child, I have suffered enough myself. I don't want my own child to suffer as much as I do in this world." Xu Shi lowered her head to look at her stomach, murmuring in a low voice that others could not hear.

Although he could not hear what the Xu family had said, he could guess from the sadness that was seeping out of her body.

She couldn't help but secretly sigh in her heart. Which woman in this backyard wasn't pitiful? After marrying into the Prince's mansion for so long, she always showed off her haughty attitude, making people think that she was just pretending instead of scheming. This was probably a disguise on her part.

In the original plot, the Xu family had slowly faded out of sight due to Princess Hua-Yang's plots. Although they still retained their title of side consort, in reality, they had already settled in the West District and were no longer in sight. Now that she thought about it, Princess Hua-Yang's actions should have been within everyone's expectations.

Now that she wanted to force her out of the sect for the sake of her own plans, she didn't know if those words would be able to move her.

She had always known that the Miss was intelligent, and that the Miss's headstrong and headstrong attitude was mostly an act. But she had originally thought that the Miss had an awkward position in the mansion, which was why she had no choice but to do it in order to scare off the servants. Now, it seemed that the Miss's heart was like dying embers, which was why she hid herself like this.

Recalling how he had asked the young miss to pull herself together and fight with the other women in the mansion, he couldn't help but feel his heart ache. If the young miss didn't want to be rich and powerful, and only wanted to live on in peace, then wouldn't her words be forcing the young miss to do what she wasn't willing to do?

"Miss!" Mrs Chen wanted to say something but hesitated as she called out to Mrs Xu. In a moment of desperation, she had forgotten to call for a master in the Prince's Mansion.

She took a deep breath before saying, "Okay, I agree to work with you. You're right, you have to live your own life, and you can't just avoid it. Only when you have the initiative will you have the right to choose what kind of life you want to live."

Hearing this, the corner of Qi Qi Qi's mouth rose, before she raised the teacup in her hands, "Since Big Sister Xu has already made up her mind, then I'll use tea in place of wine and wish you a happy cooperation with us."

The Xu family slightly pursed their lips, bringing the teacup closer to their mouths and gulping down all the tea in the cup. Afterwards, they even tilted the teacup to seventy percent, indicating that they had finished drinking it all.

When the time came, she would use this as an excuse to persuade the prince to put Big Sister Xu in confinement again for a period of time. Just now, before mother Sun left, I intentionally knelt down in front of her and told her to go and ask the prince. I'm afraid that the prince is about to arrive.

"How do you want me to cooperate?"

"Of course it's to put on a show with a deep sisterly relationship. When the time comes, Elder Sister Xu will say that the action of me kneeling down just now gave you a big fright, and you immediately got someone to help me up, but I was determined to kneel down and apologize. You worrying about the child in my womb is truly difficult."

Mrs Xu frowned slightly, "What's the use of this? Other than dispelling the wangfei's scheme, there's no harm whatsoever for her at all."
