Chapter 24: Concubine (Part 1)



"Princess, Concubine Mu had a miscarriage."

As soon as Wanyue opened her eyes, she heard these words.

He waved his hand to send away the people in the house and let the stinking parrot transmit the memories and plot.

This is an ancient fictional world. The original owner's surname is Lu. She is the daughter of King Ming of a different surname. She is also the princess consort of the male protagonist of this world, Prince Six.

The original owner's ancestors had accompanied the late emperor in conquering the country and were heroes of the founding of the nation. They were granted the honor of being a king of a different surname.

Because she liked the male protagonist, the original owner used her prominent family background to forcibly separate the male and female protagonists, and became the male protagonist's main wife, while the female protagonist was turned into a concubine by her.

The current plot is that the original owner caused the heroine to have a miscarriage, and the hero could no longer tolerate it and was ready to divorce the original owner.

After slowly stretching out on the couch, Wanyue called out, "Xiuhe, come in."

Xiuhe was the maid that the original owner brought with her from Prince Ming's Palace as a dowry, and it was she who spoke just now.

Xiuhe came over hurriedly, "Princess, the prince is on his way back to the palace. What should we do now?"

Wanyue got off the couch and straightened her clothes. "It's okay. Go to the storeroom and get some supplements. We'll go see Concubine Mu."

This warehouse belonged to the original owner. When the original owner got married, Prince Ming wanted to give her everything in the entire palace, fearing that she would be short of something. This resulted in the dowry brought by the original owner being even richer than the original family assets of the male protagonist, which made many people jealous.

Xiuhe followed the order and went downstairs to get the things, while Wanyue was struggling with her head.

What are those things on their heads? Why are they so heavy? And what are they wearing? They wish they were covered in gold, right?

Wanyue quickly asked someone to come over and take off the golden things on her head. She originally wanted to change her clothes, but time did not allow it as she had to go see the heroine.

The side hall is where Concubine Mu lives.

Xiuhe went to report it, and soon someone came to welcome Wanyue in.

The side hall is similar to the main hall where the original owner lived, the only difference is that it is a little smaller.

"What are you doing here, Princess? Are you here to laugh at me?"

Wanyue dodged the incoming pillow and blinked. Is this heroine really that hot-tempered? She'd already started fighting before she even said a word?

Xiuhe walked over and stood in front of them, shouting, "How dare you, Concubine Mu, disrespect the princess!"

Inside, Mu Qingli was leaning against the bed. Her complexion was extremely pale under her moon-white dress, and her beautiful face was filled with coldness. "Princess? Ha, she is a murderer. She is so vicious that she even spared no unborn baby!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere on the scene became very awkward. All the servants, except Xiuhe, began to point fingers at Wanyue, using words like "vicious" and "shameless" in their words.

The heroine and the hero grew up together as childhood sweethearts. She was the designated mistress of the Sixth Prince's Mansion, but the original owner intervened. For the servants in the Sixth Prince's Mansion, isn't this "shameless"?

Not to mention that this time the original owner caused the hostess to have a miscarriage.

Wanyue gave Xiuhe a look, asking her to put down the things she had brought, and then she walked inside.

Mu Qingli looked at Wanyue approaching, her face grimacing. "What do you want, Princess? The child is gone, do you still want to attack me?"

Wanyue smiled and waved her hands, "How could that be? I came here to comfort Concubine Mu. It was my fault that you lost your child."

Mu Qingli looked at Wanyue in confusion. This woman took the wrong medicine and actually admitted her mistake?

Wanyue, receiving the heroine's gaze, said: ...

Alas, it’s all the original owner’s fault.

"Concubine Mu, that soup was given to me by Xia Yiran. She said it was a tonic soup. I didn't know it contained saffron."

Xia Yiran is the male protagonist's little fan girl and has always disliked the female protagonist. This time, she used the original owner's hand to get rid of the female protagonist's child, which was a good trick of killing with a borrowed knife.

Not only did she get rid of the child, but she also made the original owner take the blame, which led to the original owner being divorced. Wanyue even suspected that Xia Yiran was the vicious female supporting role. With the original owner's IQ, she was not even good enough to play with her.

So the original owner was not the murderer who caused the woman to have a miscarriage, but Xia Yiran was.

"You believe everything Xia Yiran says. You're pretty stupid. You're being used like a knife."

Mu Qingli looked at Wanyue with a half-smile, his eyes full of mockery.

Wanyue blinked and slapped the table next to her. A crack immediately appeared on the top of the table made of fine wood.

She said I was stupid?!

I'm such a smart, beautiful, kind, and lovely person, and she actually called me stupid?!

Are the heroine's eyes covered with dirt?

Mu Qingli looked over in the direction of the sound and saw the crack on the table that Wanyue had created. A hint of interest flashed in his eyes.

Why does Lu Wanyue feel different from before?

It doesn't look so stupid anymore, and it's a lot more pleasing to the eye.

"Princess, let me remind you that the prince will be back soon. It might not be a good idea for you to be here then."

Mu Qingli's words were very ambiguous, and it was easy for people to think wrongly. If it was the original owner, given her love for the male protagonist, she would definitely explode immediately after hearing this.

But the one standing here now was Wanyue. Listening to Mu Qingli's words, Wanyue nodded, turned around and walked out, but turned back halfway. "I asked Xiuhe to bring some supplements over. They're much better than what you're taking now. Remember to take them."

After saying that, Wanyue called Xiuhe and left the side hall.

Mu Qingli stared at the direction where Wanyue left, feeling a little confused. Was Lu Wanyue... concerned about her?

Could it be that he was too stupid because of her miscarriage?

Later, Wanyue finally figured out one thing: Mu Qingli had drunk the soup the original owner had given her without any precautions. She had assumed that with the original owner's intelligence, she wouldn't have been able to imagine such a high-end, insidious scheme. But she hadn't realized that the original owner had been used as a tool, and that was how she fell into the trap.

………

The next day, everything was calm in the Sixth Prince's Mansion. Wanyue did not receive the divorce letter from the Sixth Prince, and the scene of being divorced did not appear in the plot.

After eating and drinking, Wanyue asked Xiuhe to take a bunch of supplements and go to the side hall.

This time, Mu Qingli was obviously much more friendly towards Wanyue.

Mu Qingli did not stay in bed to rest today. When Wanyue went there, she was playing chess with a man.

"Lu Wanyue, what are you doing here?"

The man, the Sixth Prince, did not show any good expression towards Wanyue's arrival.

Wanyue asked Xiuhe to put the things down and ignored the Sixth Prince. She walked briskly to Mu Qingli and said, "Concubine Mu, I asked Xiuhe to pick these supplements. Remember to eat them."

Mu Qingli looked at Wanyue and asked nonsensically, "Is your family bankrupt?"

Wanyue shook her head doubtfully, "No."
