Chapter 347: You want to steal the Wu'an Earl's Mansion?
Xie Yingmian asked, "During the palace banquet that year, Madam Liu from the Liu family fell from the attic and lost her memory. Do you know about this?"
Yunxiang nodded.
In order to gain a foothold in the Wu'an Marquis's Mansion, she spent a lot of money to have people collect information about the aristocratic circles in the capital.
There was only one family of the Liu family that had dealt with Princess Ling.
She also knew that Madam Liu from the Liu family married into the Liu family, and her husband returned after she lost his memory, and she raised four stepchildren for him.
Xie Yingmian: "Because of certain things, I am investigating what happened in the attic at the palace banquet that year."
"I found out that Wu Anbo once went to the attic with the current emperor."
Yunxiang understood what Xie Yingmian meant.
She frowned.
This matter is a bit difficult.
Wu Anbo was living a life of drunkenness and dreams all day long, and was always in a daze. He could hardly remember what happened yesterday, let alone what happened twenty years ago.
Moreover, if this matter was really a secret, she would only alert the enemy if she asked rashly.
That's what she thought and said.
Xie Yingmian smiled and said, "Don't worry."
"Since I've asked you to come here, I have a way to make him speak out."
There was a pause.
She looked at Yunxiang's face and said, "Madam Yunxiang, can I take your pulse?"
Yunxiang had heard of Xie Yingmian's name a long time ago.
She was more than happy to have Xie Yingmian take her pulse.
"Thank you, Princess Ling." Yunxiang held out her hand. "Please help me take a closer look at my physical condition and tell me when I can get pregnant."
Xie Yingmian held Yunxiang's right hand, and then held her right hand again.
After taking her pulse for a long time, she said quietly, "Your physical condition is rather poor. At the moment, there is no possibility of pregnancy."
Yunxiang's face turned pale. "But, the Second Prince said that the Divine Doctor gave me a secret medicine. If I take it, I can get pregnant and have a child."
Xie Yingmian: "He lied to you."
"You once took a medicine called Leng Xiang Jue. After taking it, you will no longer have your period and you will not be able to get pregnant."
"Leng Xiang Jue has another characteristic. The user will emit a light cold fragrance. Their skin will become very delicate, white and transparent. Their skin will also become smoother. Their body will be as light as a swallow, with a slender waist and unusually plump breasts and hips."
To put it bluntly, it is a kind of domineering poison that can turn a normal woman into a man who likes her.
"Your menstruation resumed after taking the so-called secret medicine."
"Do you think that if your menstruation resumes, you'll be able to get pregnant?"
Yunxiang clutched her clothes tightly.
Everything Xie Yingmian said was correct.
All the women in the Second Prince’s mansion need to take Leng Xiang Jue.
Leng Xiangjue will cause menopause and end of family lineage, which will keep them young and beautiful.
But the cost is also high.
The cold fragrance will make their flowering period extremely short.
When they are twenty, they are as old as ordinary people at forty.
Therefore, apart from her, there are very few women over the age of eighteen in the Second Prince's mansion.
She was nineteen years old last year, and she had already noticeably aged. Her skin was rough, her waist was starting to thicken, and her breasts and hips were starting to sag. The Second Prince had said more than once that she was... well, loose.
She knew that if she didn't find a way out for herself, no matter how capable she was or how good she was at serving others, the Second Prince would not keep her.
This is also the reason why she tried her best to marry into the Wu'an Earl's Mansion.
Yunxiang knelt down and kowtowed.
"Princess Ling, since you can see my problem at a glance, you must have a solution."
"Please help me."
"I was sold by my parents when I was young. Because I was pretty good-looking, I was trained by the Second Prince's Hunting Swallow Pavilion and learned many ways to serve men."
"When I come to Kuishui, I will follow the Second Prince and become his plaything."
"I saw with my own eyes the women around me die in various ways, like ants, silently."
"I was unwilling to give up, so I used all my tricks and opportunities to climb up to the Wu'an Earl's Mansion."
"I am of low status. Even if I am recognized as the Second Prince's sister, I am just a lowly plaything. If I want to change my fate, the only way is to get pregnant with Wu Anbo's child."
"My only hope is that child."
"If you can help me, I'm willing to go through fire and water for you."
Xie Yingmian looked at Yunxiang indifferently.
Yunxiang lowered her head, her long eyelashes covering her cheeks, and her shoulders twitching.
"Look up." Xie Yingmian said.
When Yunxiang raised her head tremblingly, her face was covered with tears.
"Do you want to steal the Wu'an Marquis' Mansion?" Xie Yingmian asked.
Yunxiang wiped her tears and said, "Yes."
"To the Wu'anbo clan, I am just a concubine of low status."
"If the Second Prince were still alive, he might be able to intimidate them. The Second Prince is dead. If the Wu Anbo couple were dead, I would be eaten by the Wu Anbo clan until not even a bone would be left."
"So, I need a child to inherit the Wu'an Earl's Mansion."
Yunxiang did not hide her ambition or purpose at all.
Xie Yingmian really admired such an ambitious girl.
"Give me a reason to steal the Wu'an Marquis's Mansion." Xie Yingmian said, "With your intelligence, the Second Prince is dead, and your shackles are gone. If you wish, you can escape and live a life of wealth and honor."
Yunxiang smiled softly.
She was smiling, but her voice was filled with sorrow: "Because I want status and power."
“Only with status can I be qualified to do something.”
"For example, the Swallow Hunting Pavilion."
"Every year, the Hunting Swallow Pavilion purchases attractive young girls from all over the country. They start training them from the age of five, feeding them various secret medicines. When they reach menstruation, they are sent to the beds of various powerful forces."
"They hardly ever had a good ending. Even living to the age of 20 like me was a luxury."
"It's true, as Princess Ling said, that the Second Prince is dead. I could have taken away the wealth of the Marquis of Wu'an and lived a life of luxury. However, I don't want luxury. I want to save those women who are living in dire straits like me."
Xie Yingmian kept observing Yunxiang's micro-expressions.
From Yunxiang's micro-expressions she could conclude that Yunxiang was not lying.
When Yunxiang saw that Xie Yingmian didn't show any dissatisfaction or ridicule, the passion in her heart seemed to be ignited.
She, inexplicably, wanted to speak her mind.
"Destroying the Hunting Swallow Pavilion might be easy, but after that, finding the right place for those girls will be a big problem."
"Most of them were sold by their parents and will be homeless if they leave the Swallow Hunting Pavilion."
"For men, women who have taken Leng Xiang Jue possess a fatal attraction. However, money alone cannot protect them. Only power can pull them onto the right path and allow them to live openly in the sunshine."
After Yunxiang finished speaking, she kowtowed three times to Xie Yingmian.
"Princess Ling, every word I say is true. If I say even a single lie, I will live the rest of my life in poverty, destitute, and dying in the dust."
"So, please help me."
This oath was extremely poisonous to Yunxiang.
