Chapter 229 The Most Vicious Woman

Aunt Mei's courtyard was very quiet and there were not many people serving her.

The maid at the door saw Mo Yi, saluted quickly, and reported inside.

When Aunt Mei heard that the princess was coming, she was startled. She stood up in a hurry, straightened her clothes and hair, and came out to greet her.

"My Lady! If you have something to ask, you can just send someone to call me. Why did you come here in person?"

"It's okay, I just came to see you..."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Please come in and sit down. Go and pour some tea..." she instructed the maid.

"Don't worry, I can't stay here. Come in and sit down too." Mo Yi walked into the house calmly.

After the princess sat down, Aunt Mei sat down carefully.

Mo Yi turned around and looked. The room was not big, but clean and tidy, with all the furniture and decorations, and it was decorated very elegantly.

"I heard from the girl that you are not feeling well."

"Thank you for your concern, Madam. My health has been fluctuating, and I have been ill for several years."

"What did the doctor say?"

Aunt Mei lowered her head and said after a while, "I had a premature birth and lost too much blood, which damaged my vitality. This is why I am sick. I am afraid of cold and heat, and I always feel that I don't have enough energy. I can't walk far... You asked me to go with you to watch the lanterns, which is a great honor, but I am worried that going would cause trouble for you."

"We are just going out for fun. It's nothing serious and won't cause any trouble. If you can't walk, just take a car. If you can walk, walk more. If you can't walk, just sit..." Mo Yi remembered again that the prince said there was no place to sit in Jingyuan.

"Your Majesty is considerate..." Aunt Mei was a little excited. "Your Majesty, although you are young, you are kind-hearted and considerate in everything you do. This is a blessing for me. But I am so useless..."

Mo Yi sighed softly, "There are many factors that affect a person's health, and thoughts are one of them. You need to eat more and exercise more. When the weather is good, go outside to bask in the sun, and you will get better slowly. Worrying too much will not help you."

This is the second time she has said this. There is nothing I can do if she doesn't listen.

"I understand, Madam, you are doing this for my own good. But..." Aunt Mei's tears flowed down her cheeks. She looked at the basket on the table. Inside were clothes, shoes, socks, and hats that she had made for her unborn child. In fact, she had made a lot of them, but she put them away. These... are just placed here. I only stitch two needles every day. After making them for so many years, it seems like they can still be used...

Mo Yi sighed inwardly, and then said, "The prince mentioned a few days ago that his underwear had been made by you for many years. The prince is busy with official duties, but he still cares about you..."

Aunt Mei nodded: "The prince treats me very well."

"Even if you are injured and have no children in this life, you can still live a life of luxury and no one in the mansion dares to bully you. This is a life a hundred times better than most women in the world. You should also learn to cherish your blessings."

"I understand everything." Aunt Mei nodded. This was the fact.

"When you are well, continue to make some clothes for the prince and me. Being busy, you will stop thinking about random things and feel at peace. It is not good for others or yourself to always feel sad about the past..."

Aunt Mei was very emotional and sobbed, "Your Majesty, you are right! I will help you and the prince. But, Your Majesty, I am too sad..."

Mo Yi saw it all, but there was really nothing he could do.

"So... do you have any other wishes? Like, do you want to live in a hot spring resort, or go back to your hometown?"

"Mei Niang was sold into the palace when she was young, and she doesn't know where her hometown is. Thank you, Madam. I am happy to stay in this small courtyard, and I don't have any other thoughts. It's just... if I follow Madam to watch the lanterns and affect everyone, I will feel even more uneasy."

"Well, then don't go."

"Yes. I will listen to you, Madam. When the weather is good, I will go outside and take a walk to bask in the sun."

"That's right. You take a rest..." Mo Yi stood up.

Aunt Mei saw her out and watched her leaving.

"Aunt, the queen is a good person!" said the little girl.

"Yes. I hope good people will be rewarded..." Aunt Mei murmured.

On the way, Mo Yi asked Hong Yan, "Isn't Aunt Mei a family-born child?"

"Yes. I heard from Aunt Zhao that Aunt Mei was bought when she was six years old and followed Aunt Qin. Aunt Qin liked her very much. She said she was smart and hardworking, dexterous, and patient. She never talked nonsense to the little maids. When the prince was a child, he was often away from the capital. When he came back, he basically lived in the Zhao family. She followed the eldest maid and served the prince.

Later, when the prince opened his own residence, she followed him. When the older maid was older, she was sent away, and she was in charge of the prince's affairs. She made all the clothes and socks. When the prince reached the age, Madam Zhao asked the prince and Concubine Mei, and the prince took her in as his concubine.

"So what is her relationship with Concubine Feng?"

"Concubine Feng came later than Aunt Mei. When Aunt Mei was serving the prince, Concubine Feng was still an apprentice with Madam Zhao. I heard that they had a very good relationship..." Hongyan recalled.

Mo Yi was a little surprised. Now, the relationship between these two people was very ordinary.

Although he wasn't cold and hostile, he was definitely distant.

Is it because they all followed the prince?

Mother Song walked quickly into Changhui Pavilion, "Madam, that woman went to Aunt Mei's courtyard."

"Where has she been?" Concubine Feng looked solemn.

"It's probably about the Lantern Festival. Didn't that woman ask everyone to go to Jingyuan to watch the lanterns? Aunt Mei said she wasn't feeling well and couldn't go. Did that woman go to see her?"

Concubine Feng blinked and didn't speak for a long time.

"My lady?"

"Aunt Mei...you won't tell her anything, right?"

Mother Song curled her lips, "What can she say? It's been so long since that happened, there's nothing left to prove it, what can she say? Does she dare to say anything?" She showed a sinister look on her face, "Besides, you've been very kind to her over the years, and you've never used your power as a housekeeper to embarrass her. For someone like her, let alone being treated harshly in terms of food and daily necessities... Aren't there enough deaths in the backyards of people in the capital?!"

Concubine Feng said nothing.

She was the one who killed Aunt Mei's child.

That was the first time she did such a thing, and it was for her best sister... The fear and entanglement at the time made her unable to sleep or eat.

But there’s nothing I can do!

When Princess Zhou gave birth to a daughter, Aunt Mei became pregnant. At that time, I was very happy for her, but just three months later, I became pregnant myself.

When she was seven months pregnant, a gynecologist came to see her and said: They were both pregnant with boys...

This time, I was panicked.

This is the prince’s eldest son!!

Although they are both born out of wedlock, there is order of seniority, which makes a huge difference!

And... Aunt Mei is the prince's first woman.

Therefore, even though she was gradually taking care of the household affairs, the prince still treated them differently...

When I talk to myself, I mostly talk about serious matters and there is no sign of smile on my face.

But towards Aunt Mei... the prince was obviously gentle and even joked with her.

Even his underwear was made by her!

I can't compare to her craftsmanship at all, and besides... I'm not interested in this!

But if she gave birth to the prince's eldest son, it would completely suppress her.

Even if I manage the household myself, I can't get past her!

Even her own son cannot surpass her son!

How is this possible?

At that time, Song's mother had come to her side. So, as soon as she had the idea, Song's mother instigated her to do it.

Zhao Mama was not at home because of something. Everything was so perfect at the right time...

Aunt Mei was completely defenseless against herself. It turned out that...

She had spent a lot of money on the medicine, so it was hard to spot any flaws. The prince was not in Beijing, so even if someone noticed, no one would bother to get involved...

Afterwards, perhaps Aunt Mei guessed something. After escaping death, although she remained silent, she was obviously estranged from me...

This incident was also the beginning of her opening up of the Ren and Du meridians, so that when she later took action against Zhou Li, she made more detailed arrangements.

Although, now, the result is not what I want...

"I've been feeling very bad lately, so you should be careful. The key is to make sure that person doesn't become alert and become wary of us..."

What if Aunt Mei hinted at something and made Mo Yi suspicious?

I regret it. I should have been a little more ruthless at the beginning...
