Chapter 247 Wei Yuanmin's Reaction
"Remind me of what?"
Wei Yuanmin finally understood after she blurted out the words. She subconsciously touched her belly and gritted her teeth, "That's impossible. She's just jealous that I got pregnant earlier than her."
Cui Luo was anxious, but she knew that it would not be easy to convince the princess.
Xu Xu said, "Princess, if you think about it carefully, you will understand that the Crown Prince's wife has nothing to be jealous of. When she entered the family, the Marquis said that if the Crown Prince has no children, he can adopt one. Your child poses no threat to her."
Although the Marquis said this in private at the time, he later repeated it in front of all the Zhao family members, and Madam Yao had no objection.
This means that in the eyes of the Marquis and the Zhao family, the future heir to the title must be from the lineage of the Crown Prince, and the Second Young Master will not have the right of inheritance, let alone his children.
She was Wei Yuanmin's maid, so of course she knew that the princess had other plans.
But Ji Yunshu didn't know about this.
Wei Yuanmin said coldly, "If that's the case, why does she keep reminding me again and again? Is there anyone else in this mansion who wouldn't want me to give birth to this child besides her?"
Cui Luo said with some reluctance, "Princess, have you never thought about why the Second Young Master suddenly changed his attitude towards you? If he suddenly came to his senses, how did he do it? Although he has been good to you these days, he still holds Miss Yao in his palm and protects her well."
Wei Yuanmin's face turned pale in an instant: "No, this is his child too, how could he do this?"
Cui Luo felt a little sorry for her master, but when she thought of Ji Yunshu's words, she felt a chill down her spine, thinking that the princess might have been poisoned without knowing it and would die in childbirth.
"You better be clear-headed. He hasn't even touched you after being married for months. How could he suddenly come to his senses and be willing to live with you properly, especially under the nose of his beloved? Don't you think Yao Ruolan has been too quiet these days?"
Wei Yuanmin was happy about her pregnancy these days. Zhao Heng protected Yao Ruolan very closely, so she didn't dare to do anything for the time being. She thought that out of sight, out of mind, so she asked Yao Ruolan to stay away from her.
Yao Ruolan was also very well-behaved and just stayed quietly in her own room.
She was pregnant and in poor health, so it was not easy for her to stop Zhao Heng from going to Yao Ruolan.
Therefore, their courtyard is particularly harmonious these days.
Wei Yuanmin is not a fool. The contrast between how Zhao Heng treats Yao Ruolan and how he treats her is too stark.
In fact, she always knew in her heart that Zhao Heng never had her in his heart.
He had long known that it was she who caused Yao Ruolan's disappearance in Xiangguo Temple.
In order to avenge Yao Ruolan, is there anything he can't do?
After figuring all this out, Wei Yuanmin felt cold all over. She reached out to take the hand warmer, but her hand trembled and she dropped the exquisite copper hand warmer to the ground with a crisp sound.
Cuiluo quickly bent down to pick up the charcoal that was scattered on the ground and still sparking.
Wei Yuanmin pulled her aside and said, "Don't clean it up."
Cuiluo saw that the sparks had already burned a cushion: "But..."
Wei Yuanmin spoke calmly and rationally, "You said Ji Yunshu was telling the truth, but does Yao know about it? If she knew, what would she do now that Ji Yunshu reminded me of this?"
Cuiluo froze in place: "Princess, what should we do?"
Wei Yuanmin looked at the burning charcoal on the ground and said, "Let's start a fire. We can take this opportunity to return to the Princess's Mansion."
Cui Luo was relieved to see that Wei Yuanmin was clear-headed and not devastated by the sudden news. "I'll make the arrangements right away."
Ji Yunshu heard that Wei Yuanmin's room had suddenly caught fire, and that Wei Yuanmin had come out of the fire and led people directly back to the princess's residence. He exclaimed in admiration, "He reacted really quickly. It seems he's not completely in love."
Lan Yin has become accustomed to Ji Yunshu's speaking habits and knows what love-brain means.
In her opinion, Wei Yuanmin had been very clear-headed from the beginning and was not at all love-brained.
But her master obviously didn't think so.
"Princess Taining and the Duke of Wei and his wife may seem lukewarm, but no one, whether they are from the royal family or the powerful people in the capital, can ignore them. As their only daughter, Princess Huimin should not be underestimated."
Ji Yunshu leaned on a recliner and said lazily, "If she was really smart, she shouldn't have married Zhao Heng and gotten involved in this mess."
She clearly had a good hand and could choose any young man in the capital, but she chose to jump into the fire pit.
Speaking of this, Lan Yin also sighed with emotion: "I have such a good background and have never encountered any setbacks. I feel that I am different from others and can influence men with my sincerity."
Ji Yunshu discovered that although Lan Yin was young, she had a very insightful view of things.
"Men, it's very obvious whether they love or not. Fortunately, she didn't let me down."
She put a lot of thought into reminding Yao in person.
As long as Wei Yuanmin returns to the princess's mansion, he will definitely find a way to check whether he has been poisoned.
She was looking forward to how Yao would respond.
This time, Yao Shi really couldn't sit still. As soon as Wei Yuanmin left, she followed him to the princess's mansion.
This time, Princess Taining was no longer as friendly to her as before, and welcomed her into the hall with a cold face.
Seeing the princess' unhappy expression, Yao took the initiative to speak, "It's my fault for not managing the servants well. They were so careless that they almost burned the yard. Is Yuanmin okay?"
Princess Taining looked at her seriously for a long moment before she spoke, "Over the years, because of my brother, I've been very helpful to you. I've diligently done everything you've asked me to do. I believe there's a bond between us. If Heng'er doesn't want to marry Min'er, I won't force him. I only agreed to this marriage because you kept saying you'd treat her well. Is that how you treat her?"
Yao had known the eldest princess for many years, but this was the first time she had heard her speak to her in such a disappointed tone. She knew something was wrong and immediately said, "What are you saying? It's just that the servants weren't taking care of it properly and it started a fire. Could it be that Min'er was hurt?"
Princess Taining looked at her sharply. "I also know a little about how you dealt with the Shen family back then. That's when I first learned that there were such things as Gu poison in this world. Over the years, I've sent people to the Miao people to learn more about Gu poison. Although I only know the basics, I can still tell if a person has been poisoned."
Yao's heart sank when she heard this. After Qin's death, she knew that Zhao Shen would not let it go.
These days she has been waiting for Zhao Shen to make a move, but the other party has been unusually patient and has not made any move.
Later, when she saw that he was entangled with things outside, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But she didn't expect that at this moment, she would be hit.
Thinking of what happened in the past few days, her eyes became deep.
She knew that using too much poison would arouse suspicion. The damn scholar did not die, which indeed caused trouble.
