Chapter 451 Wanting and wanting again

Pei Shaorong paused before smiling bitterly: "You reminded me before, and although I listened to it, I still don't want to think of her like that. I always feel that we have known each other for so many years and have a good relationship. I always feel that she may just be obsessed with that marriage for a while, and she will be sober after calming down."

She didn't want to think too badly of her long-time friends, whether it was Mu Hua, Xue He, or Ying Ying, Ying Zhu, it was the same. Although it seemed that she had a better relationship with Mu Hua on weekdays, she treated the other three people equally, and her sincerity to them was not mixed with any hypocrisy.

She always hoped that each of them would be well, find a good husband, have a lovely child, and be happy and healthy. It has nothing to do with power or wealth.

But apparently some people don't think so.

"I originally thought that after they were announced to the East Palace, I would find a chance to talk to Xue He and try to find a suitable marriage for her. We were talking well at first, but the prince suddenly came back."

"When he came back and saw us women, he didn't stay for long. He just said hello and left. I didn't think much about it at the time. I just talked to them. After a while, I realized that Xue He was gone!"

At that time, her heart skipped a beat. She didn't know why she remembered what Mu Hua had reminded her.

At that time, she thought of asking someone to look for her quietly, in case something really happened.

"But before I could send someone to look for her, the Crown Prince sent someone to ask me to go over there."

Pei Shaorong felt a little uncomfortable when she said this, "It turns out...it turns out that she ran out when I wasn't paying attention, and when she saw the Crown Prince in the garden, she ignored the cold weather and jumped directly into the icy pond..."

Xu Muhua curled her lips, thinking that Sun Xuehe was probably desperate.

If she jumped in, and if the Crown Prince saved her, she would say that the Crown Prince had physical contact with her when he saved her. After all, she is the daughter of a minister. The Crown Prince destroyed her innocence, so she should be taken into the Eastern Palace and given a position.

As for offending the Crown Princess, she should have thought about entering the Eastern Palace and then slowly asking Arong for forgiveness. She was sure that Arong was a soft-hearted person. When the time came, she would kneel down and cry for help, saying that she was forced to do so. After a long time, Arong would definitely forgive her.

And as a concubine, she had not yet entered the Eastern Palace. She had time to win the heart of the prince. By the time she entered the Eastern Palace as a concubine, she might have already established a firm foothold in the Eastern Palace.

Xu Muhua didn't know how to evaluate Sun Xuehe's behavior.

Was she too confident in herself, or did she want to fight her way out and take a gamble when she had no other choice? Or was it both?

"Then who rescued her in the end?"

"There was indeed no one around the prince at the time, and he sent everyone away, saying that he wanted to think alone. Unexpectedly, Sun Xuehe would sneak over. He...he just found a stick, held one end himself, and put the other end into the pool, letting Xuehe grab it herself, and he pulled her up."

As she said this, she sneered, "But Xuehe didn't grab it. I guess she wanted to force the prince to jump in and save her."

Xu Muhua couldn't help but hold her forehead, "Then what happened later?"

In such a cold day, why did she think that the prince would risk his life to jump into the icy pool to save her? What if the prince was frozen and sick because of this, could she bear the responsibility and consequences?

Or did she actually know very well that she could only benefit from Arong's help? Did you think that the prince would never let her splash around in the pool for Ah Rong's sake?

Pei Shaorong couldn't help but smile at this moment, with a twinkle in his eyes, and whispered: "The prince got impatient and threw the stick away. He also said that since she didn't want to come out, she should stay in the pool for a while longer."

Xu Muhua couldn't help but burst out laughing.

I didn't expect that the prince would be so decisive. Sun Xuehe must have fainted on the spot after hearing this, right?

"After the prince left, he called his guards over and asked them to rescue her. When she was rescued, she had already fainted from the cold. And..."

Pei Shaorong paused and frowned.

"And what?"

She sighed, "The imperial physician said that her body was not strong to begin with, and she soaked in the frozen pool for so long in the middle of winter. In the future...it will be difficult for her to have children."

Xu Muhua was silent for a moment and said, "That's good. Anyway, the man her father wants to marry her to already has a legitimate son."

This way, the other party might be more relieved. She can't give birth, so after she marries in, she can only take good care of the children she gave birth to before, so as not to be kicked out of the house when she is old.

Pei Shaorong frowned, "But after this happened, will the other party still be willing to marry her?"

Although the prince blocked the news of what happened that day and didn't let anyone spread it. But there is no wall that is impenetrable. Even if you don't know, you can guess it to some extent.

"Why not marry her? She is not young anymore. I believe she wants to marry for the sake of carrying on the family line. She already has a legitimate son, who is not young anymore. She does not need a new wife to give birth to another child. She is young and not bad looking. Many men are willing to marry such a woman home."

As long as she is still a normal woman, such a man will be willing to marry her. Infertility does not hinder her from fulfilling her wife's duties, right?

Pei Shaorong fell silent.

"Arong, you don't need to worry about this. It's all her own fault."

She didn't want to marry him because she disliked his age and the fact that he had a legitimate son. But Arong had thought of a solution for her and introduced many people to her, but she disliked their low family background. She wants this and that, so why not give her nothing!

Sun Xuehe is essentially the same as Pei Zhen, too greedy, always thinking about things that don't belong to her. But she is unwilling to fight for it through her own efforts, and she always thinks of using unconventional methods and shortcuts.

Pei Shaorong shook her head, "I just feel a little..."

a little sad, probably because of the relationship between them in the past so many years.

Xu Muhua can understand her feelings, she is a soft-hearted person. Unlike her, she has experienced it a long time ago, and she knew what kind of person Sun Xuehe was from the beginning, so she never had much hope for her, so naturally there was no disappointment.

"Is this what you did to yourself?"

Pei Shaorong was stunned for a moment, facing her somewhat disgusted eyes, she inexplicably felt a little guilty, "It's not entirely..."

Xu Muhua patted her head.

Pei Shaorong was left speechless by her action.
