Lin Chunhuan, as the ace strategist of the Quick Transmigration Bureau, is just one last reincarnation away from accumulating enough points to return to the real world.
But this final one... ...
So even though she realized belatedly that Qingcheng was no longer in the palace and the relationship between Xiao Cen and Xiao Jinan had become somewhat tense, she still didn't ask any more questions.
He had no idea that Xiao Cen had already forcefully sent Qingcheng away.
Xiao Cen let out a long sigh, holding her delicate hands and rubbing them in his palms, "It's cold outside, let's go inside and talk."
Seeing that Xiao Cen didn't look very nervous, Lin Chunhuan slowly calmed down. After entering his own yard, Xiao Cen told him what had happened some time ago.
"Ever since you told me Qingcheng was pregnant, I had someone secretly investigate the matter. Facts have proven that you were right. Qingcheng is indeed pregnant, but the child in her belly is not Jin'an's."
Xiao Cen couldn't help but sigh as he spoke. He raised his head and looked into Lin Chunhuan's eyes filled with surprise. "Jin An, he has no ability to reproduce at all."
"No... to be precise, he is completely inhumane. Ah Huan, have you ever heard of a eunuch?"
Is Xiao Jinan a eunuch?
Lin Chunhuan: “!!!”
No wonder!
No wonder that man married her but never touched her. Lin Chunhuan took two quick breaths and drank a cup of cold tea before slowly calming down.
She originally thought that Xiao Jinan had never touched her from beginning to end in his previous life. No matter what his character was, at least his feelings for Qingcheng were loyal and sincere.
She had never thought that Xiao Jinan would be a eunuch!
That damn scumbag didn't even try to keep his chastity for his lover. Even Qingcheng was just a shield he used.
"Your Highness means..."
Even though his heart was already filled with turmoil, his face only showed a hint of surprise, "No way, where did the child in Miss Qingcheng's belly come from?"
"have no idea."
Xiao Cen sneered, "Perhaps she belongs to a benefactor. Her name isn't Qingcheng, and she herself has forgotten her real name. She only used to be known as Xiao Furong."
This time Lin Chunhuan was even more surprised.
She didn't even need to ask to guess what kind of occasion such a flower name would appear in.
Alluring.
Or little Hibiscus.
At this moment, she was wearing the thick clothes sent by Qiu Shuang, sipping the ginseng soup in small sips, and glancing out the door from time to time. Qiu Shuang was so angry at her movements that she didn't bother anyone else when she saw her.
“Stop looking!”
Qiu Shuang rolled her eyes in annoyance. "The court doctor has just checked you out. There's nothing serious wrong with you. Rest here for two days. The housekeeper will send someone to take you away."
"You'd better behave yourself for the next two days. If you cause any trouble for my princess, I will make you pay for it without her having to do anything!"
Qiu Shuang said this, shaking her fist threateningly.
In response, Xiao Furong only sneered and continued to drink the ginseng soup with her head down. It was obvious that she did not take Qiu Shuang's threat seriously at all. "I will not leave."
"You think you can get rid of me with just a shabby house and two hundred taels of silver in this huge palace? No way!"
Xiao Furong rolled her eyes and said, "Sister, if you have the time, go to your master and tell him I want one thousand taels of gold!"
"If you give me even a penny less, I'll tell everyone that the Prince of Pingyang is a eunuch and found a pregnant prostitute to pretend he's pregnant. I'm a complete rotten piece of shit anyway, and now I'm childless, so I'll have no one to rely on for the rest of my life. Let's see who gets shamed in the end after this gets out!"
Qiu Shuang's face flushed red.
This time I wasn't angry, but afraid.
Is the prince a eunuch?
How could a newcomer like her, who had only been in the mansion for a few months, listen to such a secret?!
“You…you you you…”
Qiu Shuang was so excited that she couldn't even speak clearly. She took several steps back in panic until she bumped into a soft wall and stopped. She turned around subconsciously and looked up to see Lin Chunhuan's face, which was completely flawless.
Although it was late at night and the road was not bright, the candlelight only made the face even more hazy.
When everyone else was in the dark and even their shadows were hard to see, Lin Chunhuan seemed to have a layer of soft light on him. Even though no one could see him clearly, he would unconsciously attract everyone's attention.
Including little Furong who was drinking ginseng soup in the room.
"Princess, why are you..."
"Look at you, you're my personal girl after all, but you're so flustered when something happens. If you tell others about it, they'll laugh at you."
Although he said this, Lin Chunhuan had no intention of blaming her. He just reached out and slowly adjusted Qiu Shuang's collar, his gentle movements full of comfort.
Finally, he patted her cheek gently and said, "Okay, girl, get behind me."
The slightly cool palm gently touched the cheek, bringing with it a refreshing scent of grass and trees, which was not at all out of the ordinary. Qiu Shuang swallowed silently and stood there without moving.
Finally, Dong Ling'er couldn't stand it any longer and pulled the man to her side, "Look at you, you are such a loser!"
"The princess is so beautiful!" Qiu Shuang didn't care about Dong Ling'er's words at all. She whispered to her excitedly, "How can there be someone as beautiful as the princess in this world? I have never seen one before."
This time, Dong Ling'er didn't laugh at Qiu Shuang. Instead, she curled her lips and slowly laughed, "It's not surprising. Not only have you never seen it, I haven't seen it either."
While the two girls were talking, Lin Chunhuan walked into the house with a smile. The warm air made her a little uncomfortable.
It's only a few months old, and Dong Ling'er has even lit a brazier.
"What should I call you? Qingcheng? Or Xiao Furong?"
Hearing Lin Chunhuan's question, Xiao Furong knew that Xiao Cen had already told everything, and immediately said with a dead pig fearless attitude, "Whatever you say."
"You are the high and mighty Princess Pingyang, and I am just a lowly person, a rotten person. Of course, you can call me whatever you want."
Little Furong curled her lips and said, "If you want, I don't mind calling me a little trash."
Ignoring Xiao Furong's chatter, Lin Chunhuan walked to the brazier and was silent for a long time before looking up again. "Are you afraid of the cold?"
"I wasn't afraid before." Xiao Furong continued to make the ginseng soup, taking small sips very carefully, as if she were holding a treasure. "I became afraid after I lost my child."
"A little bit of wind can make people shiver."
Xiao Furong shuddered in fear and shook her head in disgust, "I can't stand it."
Lin Chunhuan didn't say anything about this. This was also the reason why Xiao Cen didn't ask anything after meeting Xiao Furong, but called the court doctor first.
Given Xiao Furong's current weak condition, a cold wind could really take her life!
