Chapter 333 She can't get pregnant, whose fault is it?

"Why is Mother so stingy!"

Xiao Qingyuan had no intention of returning the box. He got three frozen lychees without spending a single penny; he had made a huge profit!

“I’ve had these frozen lychees at Qingyunlou before, and they taste nothing like fresh lychees. My father always prefers the freshest things, so he definitely wouldn’t eat anything frozen like this. Besides, since you’ve already had some, these three remaining ones are mine!”

Princess Ning felt a chill in her heart upon hearing this: "So, you had already eaten frozen lychees."

"Yes, of course I've eaten it!"

"When you were eating them, did you think of sending some for me and your father to try? If Tang'er hadn't brought me frozen lychees, I wouldn't have known they were sold in the capital! You care more about your maids than about me and your father! I've wasted my time raising you!"

Xiao Qingyuan was stunned for a moment before saying, "Mother, this is nothing special. You and Father have eaten countless fresh lychees. Why would you be interested in this kind of stale frozen product?"

“Qingyunlou uses frozen lychees as a gimmick every year, and they are sold at a rather expensive price. I go there every year to eat a few, just for the novelty, but they are not actually that delicious.”

"I originally wanted to go eat there this year, but my mother cut off my allowance, so I haven't been able to eat there this year!"

"Mother, when are you going to stop deducting my monthly allowance? Shouldn't you give me some money to spend by now? Otherwise, as a man, if I don't even have any money, I can't buy anything, and people will look down on me!"

Princess Ning stood up and walked to her son's side: "You want money to spend?"

"certainly!"

"Then give me back the lychees first. These are Tang'er's gifts to me and your father, not for you. If you want to eat them, go out and buy some yourself!"

"So... Mother has promised to give me a monthly allowance?"

Princess Ning snatched the box and handed it to Granny Quan: "Immediately send someone to deliver it to the Prince and tell him that it is a gift from his daughter-in-law."

Granny Quan responded and immediately handed the box to the maid: "Quickly, send it to the Prince!"

After she finished speaking, she immediately pushed the maid out the door, looking as if she was afraid that Xiao Qingyuan would snatch her away again.

This time, Xiao Qingyuan didn't snatch them again. He was overjoyed, thinking that he could get money to spend again, so he didn't care about those few lychees. He would just take the money and buy more for Huayi. How could three lychees be enough for Huayi? He would have to buy at least ten!

He eagerly stepped forward and took Princess Ning's arm, helping her to sit down: "Mother, how much silver do you plan to give me each month? Let me tell you, prices in the capital are soaring these days. If you give me too little, it won't be enough. You should give me at least ten thousand taels."

Princess Ning's expression was indifferent: "When did I say I gave you money to spend?"

Xiao Qingyuan was stunned: "Didn't you just say... you lied to me?!"

"I didn't say anything, I didn't promise anything, what did I lie to you about? Don't you know that she's now your Crown Princess's housekeeper? Don't you know that all the money in the Prince's mansion is in her hands? You've come to the wrong person asking me for money!"

"But...but you are the Princess Consort of our Prince's Mansion! I don't believe Shen Wantang would dare disobey you if you gave the order!"

"Now that I have handed over the management of the household to Tang'er, she will naturally have full authority over the mundane affairs of the Prince's Mansion. If I were to issue orders and interfere with her management every few days, what prestige would she have left? Would the people below listen to me or to her in the future?"

Xiao Qingyuan's face turned ugly: "So, Mother wants me to ask Shen Wantang for money to spend?"

"She is your Crown Princess, your principal wife, your mistress. Shouldn't you inform her if you want to spend money?"

“Mother! This is our home, not Shen Wantang’s home! She’s an outsider. How can you trust her to manage all the money? Haven’t you seen her spending money recklessly? Haven’t you seen her buying frozen lychees to eat? I haven’t even had a frozen lychee!”

Princess Ning said nonchalantly, "It's just a few frozen lychees. What, our Princess Ning can't even eat a frozen lychee? Only your maid can eat them, but the Princess can't?"

"Where did Huayi eat? She hasn't eaten yet."

Princess Ning ignored him and called out loudly, "Qiu Shui!"

Qiu Shui quickly stepped forward: "Please give your orders, Your Highness."

"Go to my room and get the silver. Buy all the frozen lychees that Qingyunlou and other restaurants have in stock!"

"yes!"

Xiao Qingyuan was taken aback: "What is Mother doing? Is she going to buy me frozen lychees?"

"you?"

Princess Ning said coldly, "Unworthy!"

Xiao Qingyuan's expression froze on his face: "Mother, I..."

"Qiushui, after you buy the frozen lychees, send them all to the Crown Princess's courtyard!"

"yes!"

"Tell the Crown Princess that if she can't finish it, throw it all away! If she wants anything else, just tell me, and I will let her taste all the delicacies in the world, no matter how expensive or rare, she can have it!"

"yes!"

Xiao Qingyuan stood there, stunned: "Mother, why did you have to be so cruel!"

"Huayi is pregnant. She can't eat anything except lychees, that's all! She's carrying my child, and also your grandson. Even if you don't love Huayi, you should love the one in her belly!"

"Why are you so distressed about Shen Wantang? Can she even get pregnant? Can she give you a grandson? Can she even do that?!"

Princess Ning sneered, "What, a mere maidservant, just because she's pregnant, thinks she can ride roughshod over Tang'er, the Crown Prince's wife?"

"Since Tang'er married into the family, how many times have you slept in her room? Once!"

"It would be a miracle if she could get pregnant!"

"Whose problem is it that she can't get pregnant? Is it hers? Of course not! It's your problem! How dare you yell at me like that?"

Xiao Qingyuan roared, "This isn't my problem! I never liked her in the first place; it was my mother who insisted on marrying her! Let me tell you the truth, I haven't even touched Shen Wantang yet!"

Princess Ning was stunned: "What did you say?!"

"I did sleep in her courtyard one night, but we slept separately! The bloodstains on the handkerchief the next day were faked! I don't want to be husband and wife with Shen Wantang!"

Princess Ning's face turned pale: "You, you actually dared to lie to me about something like this? When did you learn to lie?!"

Xiao Qingyuan suddenly burst into maniacal laughter: "Hahaha, Mother actually accuses me of lying? What Mother did was a thousand times, a hundred times worse than what I did! When you forced me to marry Shen Wantang, you should have known this day would come!"

"You know perfectly well that I love Chu Yanluo, yet you still insist on breaking us up. You don't care about me at all! All you care about is your pride and the reputation of the Prince's Mansion! You don't care about my feelings at all!"

Princess Ning's face turned even paler, and her voice trembled as she said, "You scoundrel, you have absolutely no conscience!"
