The Eighth Prince's wife didn't really intend to hide what she had asked him to do from him, so it was discovered as soon as it was investigated.
On the day Liu'er passed away, the Eighth Prince went to visit his wife.
The Eighth Prince's wife didn't even get up, coldly saying, "Since Your Highness has arrived, I'm not feeling well, so I won't get up."
The Eighth Prince did not say anything to blame him.
He didn't speak after entering the room, but the Eighth Prince's wife spoke first: "Doesn't Your Highness have anything to say to me?"
Killing the woman he was keeping outside—no man would remain indifferent!
Yes, the Eighth Prince certainly wouldn't remain indifferent, but the one who committed the murder was his wife, the wife who held a place in his heart second only to his mother.
The Eighth Prince shook his head: "I'm a little tired, let's get settled!"
The Eighth Prince's wife scoffed and said, "I am not feeling well and am not fit to serve you, so I will not keep you any longer."
The Eighth Prince opened his mouth as if to say something, but faced with the Eighth Princess's cold face, he left without saying a word.
After the Eighth Prince left, the nanny said to the Eighth Prince's wife, "Why should you hold a grudge against the master? The master will surely find out about what you did to Liu'er, but he didn't say anything. He must care about you."
The Eighth Prince's wife also knew that she held a greater place in the Eighth Prince's heart than the Sixth Prince, but so what? What she wanted was to be the only one, not the most important.
She wanted something unique and all-encompassing, and she thought the Eighth Prince could give it to her, but it turned out she was wrong; the Eighth Prince couldn't give it to her.
The neighboring Prince Yong could be with his wife, but the Eighth Prince couldn't. The proud Eighth Prince's wife couldn't stand it.
"But there are others. Granny, please don't say that again. I am the Fujin bestowed by the Emperor, and Guo Luo Ma Fa is Prince An. Although we have lost our father and mother, no one can shake my position. As for the mansion, he was willing to play along with me before, so he will continue to play along for the rest of his life. No one is allowed to enter the mansion in the future. As for outsiders, let them keep as many as they want! Just don't let me know."
The old woman disagreed: "Madam, you are still young. Having a child will give you something to look forward to. Don't let it really estrange you from the master."
The old woman was old and had seen a lot of trouble. She knew the true nature of men and was willing to coax them for a while, but not necessarily for a lifetime.
The Eighth Prince's wife said, "Giving birth is one thing, but if you can't have children, who knows whose fault it is!"
The imperial physician said that both she and the Eighth Prince were healthy, but they just couldn't conceive. If the Eighth Prince only had her as his woman, it might be her fault. But the reality was that the Eighth Prince had other women outside, and none of them had gotten pregnant. It was really hard to say whose fault it was.
The old woman was startled by these words; it wasn't entirely impossible.
When the Eighth Prince returned to the front courtyard, Suqin came forward to serve him. She was considerate and attentive, and didn't say a word. That evening, when Suqin helped the Eighth Prince change his clothes, he pulled his hand away when she touched his chest.
"You don't need to be served anymore, you can leave!"
Suqin looked panicked and asked, "But what did I do wrong?"
The Eighth Prince said, "No, you can leave."
Suqin went out looking confused.
Suqin had been keeping an eye on Liu'er's situation. When she learned that Liu'er had passed away today, she wondered if she was grieving for Liu'er.
Did he quarrel with his wife and get into a bad mood?
After Liu'er passed away, the Eighth Prince's wife forbade him from getting close to her, so Suqin became almost the only woman he could get close to, which made Suqin very happy.
She felt she had done a good job. The Fujin had killed Liu'er, so she had one less person to compete with her for the emperor's favor. The Fujin would also inevitably be disliked by the master. It was a win-win situation, the best thing ever.
