Chapter 88 Pregnant?
Pei Jingchuan heard this, pursed his lips and smiled faintly: "Thank you for your understanding, Third Prince."
Pei Jingchuan naturally understood what the Third Prince meant by this. For his sake, the Third Prince thought that he was doing him a favor. Although he did not intend to stand with the Third Prince, he did not explicitly refuse.
The third prince was also satisfied with Pei Jingchuan's attitude. Although everyone knew that Pei Jingchuan only had two years to live, he did not think that he was useless. A lot of things could happen in these two years. As long as he was still alive, there would be unlimited possibilities.
The third prince knew that Pei Jingyuan, the illegitimate son of the Duke of Yingzhou's Mansion, also wanted to stand on his side, but he knew clearly that Pei Jingchuan's ability and wisdom were much stronger than Pei Jingyuan's. As long as Pei Jingchuan was not dead, it would never be the turn of a illegitimate son to call the shots in the Duke of Yingzhou's Mansion.
So, the Third Prince chatted briefly with Pei Jingchuan and then sent them away.
"Cousin, wait for me!" Outside the prince's mansion, Zhao Shiwen caught up from behind.
Xu Qingyan and Pei Jingchuan looked back at the same time, both frowning slightly.
"What's wrong?" Xu Qingyan looked at Zhao Shiwen and asked.
Zhao Shiwen took a breath, looked at Xu Qingyan and Pei Jingchuan with burning eyes, and said, "Cousin, can I go back with you? Cousin Qingyue is angry with me and said that I didn't help her just now."
"Really? But our carriage doesn't seem to be able to accommodate four people." Xu Qingyan raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this.
How could she not understand that Zhao Shiwen just wanted to hook up with Pei Jingchuan?
"It's okay, I'm quite thin and I don't mind being squeezed." Zhao Shiwen explained shamelessly after hearing what Xu Qingyan said.
"You don't care, but my husband does!" Xu Qingyan said softly, then turned her gaze to Pei Jingchuan.
Pei Jingchuan understood and said coldly: "I don't like it to be too crowded, let her and Xu Qingyue squeeze together! People who live under someone else's roof shouldn't have too many tempers."
Zhao Shiwen: "Young Master, I am not..."
Zhao Shiwen bit her lip and wanted to explain something else, but Pei Jingchuan interrupted her coldly and said, "Let's go!"
Pei Jingchuan helped Xu Qingyan onto the carriage, and Pei Jinyu quickly followed. The horse's hooves were covered in dust, and soon Zhao Shiwen was left behind.
At this time, Xu Qingyue came out from behind and sneered, "Forget it, since you can't catch up, just follow me back!"
Zhao Shiwen got on Xu Qingyue's carriage somewhat unwillingly. After getting on the carriage, she recalled everything that happened in the Third Prince's Mansion today. She felt that Xu Qingyan had caused such a big disaster, but was able to escape unscathed. It must be because the young master had enough face and protected her.
Zhao Shiwen was becoming more and more eager for the position of Crown Prince's Consort. At the same time, she began to wonder why Xu Qingyue wanted to marry someone else when the young master was so good?
Thinking of this, Zhao Shiwen couldn't help but ask Xu Qingyan, "Cousin Qingyue, why didn't you marry the young master? The status of the young master in the Duke's Mansion is obviously better than that of a bastard. Look how well cousin Qingyan is doing now."
"Do you think she is living well?" Xu Qingyue's face instantly turned gloomy when he heard that.
Although Xu Qingyue also saw how good Pei Jingchuan was to Xu Qingyan, for her to admit it in her heart was another matter.
Zhao Shiwen nodded and said, "Yes! Even for something like today, the young master was able to save cousin Qingyan from the Third Prince's Mansion, and he didn't blame her at all. Isn't that good?"
Xu Qingyue couldn't help but clench her palms when she heard this, and she began to feel jealous: Yes! He was able to save her when something like this happened today, without even a trace of blame. Imagine if it was me who threw the snake at the Third Prince's wife today, I'm afraid Pei Jingyuan might not be able to save me.
"Cousin Qingyue, were you confused at the beginning? If you were marrying the young master now, you would be the one enjoying the glory now. Why did you let cousin Qingyan replace your husband for no reason?" Zhao Shiwen continued to test her. She always felt that this was a little unreasonable, but what was the reason?
When Xu Qingyue saw the doubt in Zhao Shiwen's eyes, she came back to her senses and remembered that no matter how good Pei Jingchuan was, he would not live for more than two years. Once he died, what support would Xu Qingyan have? After thinking about this, she felt much more comfortable.
However, Xu Qingyue still did not tell Zhao Shiwen, and also ordered the servants around her not to tell her. As for the other servants in the Duke's Mansion, they dared not talk about the young master. Therefore, as long as Zhao Shiwen did not communicate with the daughters outside, she would basically not know about Pei Jingchuan. She still needed Zhao Shiwen to interfere in the relationship between Xu Qingyan and the young master.
So, Xu Qingyan pretended to sigh and said, "You also saw today that Xu Qingyan is so smart. She planned this marriage for herself at the beginning. By the time I realized it, it was too late. Otherwise, do you think I am willing to give up the young master?"
Zhao Shiwen saw Xu Qingyue's helpless expression, and thought about Xu Qingyan's performance today. She was indeed a smart one, so it was no wonder that Xu Qingyue couldn't beat her. So, she no longer doubted it, but secretly decided in her heart that she should change her method.
When Xu Qingyan, Pei Jingchuan and Pei Jinyu got on the carriage to go back, Pei Jinyu kept complaining about the viciousness of the Third Prince's wife in the carriage.
The more Pei Jingchuan listened, the more his brows furrowed, and he felt even more scared. Fortunately, nothing happened today!
However, what they didn't expect was that when Xu Qingyan just got off the carriage and stepped onto the steps of the Duke's Mansion, she suddenly felt nauseous in her stomach, and then she lay aside and vomited.
"Qingyan, what happened to you? Someone, go call a doctor!" Pei Jingchuan asked worriedly when he saw this.
Pei Jinyu was also shocked and said hurriedly: "Sister-in-law, what happened to you? How come you suddenly become like this?"
Xu Qingyan kept vomiting and had no time to answer them, but the maid Dan Yan beside her suddenly said, "Prince's Concubine, are you pregnant?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Xu Qingyan was also confused. Pregnant? This is impossible. She had her period this month.
——Tingyuxuan——
After a while, Xu Qingyan lay weakly on the bed, waiting for the doctor to come and treat her.
The doctor said solemnly, "Princess, this is poisoning."
"How could he be poisoned for no reason? What kind of poison was it?" Pei Jingchuan asked anxiously.
Xu Qingyan also looked at the doctor in surprise. She was obviously very careful today, so how could she be poisoned? Moreover, she had used silver needles to test the tea and snacks she had eaten at the Third Prince's Mansion for poison, and there was no problem!
"It's an allergic reaction caused by the mutual generation and restraint of two foods. I wonder what the Crown Princess ate today?" explained the doctor.
Xu Qingyan recalled and said, "Today, I drank a cup of green tea from the Third Prince's Mansion, and some cakes, but I used a silver needle to test for poison, and they were all non-toxic."
"The stuff is not poisonous, but some things can be poisonous when mixed together. According to my experience, the Crown Princess has a severe allergic reaction. But luckily it's not life-threatening, you will only suffer for a few days, vomiting and diarrhea, and you may even get a rash on your face, but you have to take good care of the rash, otherwise it will easily disfigure you."
