Chapter 66 Curiosity Killed the Cat
A question arose in her mind, but Chu Yunjin did not intend to ask.
If Wen Jingsheng and Yan Cang were both reborn, then only they themselves know their past.
Yan Cang knew perfectly well what Wen Jingsheng had done.
Chu Yunjin did not intend to interfere with how he decided to treat Wen Jingsheng.
After all, that Princess Jin brought it upon herself.
From the portrait she gave herself to the open provocation that she was a stand-in, and her undisguised resentment and jealousy, all of this proves that she is not a kind person.
Yan Cang said he had hurt her before, so Wen Jingsheng must have been involved.
Chu Yunjin walked into the inner room, lowered her head and kissed Yan Cang on the face: "You get some rest, I'm going to Princess Ning'an's residence."
Yan Cang looked at her and said, "I'll come pick you up in half an hour."
Chu Yunjin smiled and said, "Okay."
Chu Yunjin turned and walked out.
Granny Zhou looked at her in surprise: "Isn't the Princess Consort curious at all about how Princess Consort Jin disappeared?"
"Curiosity killed the cat." Chu Yunjin said calmly. "Her disappearance at the Prince of Jin's residence has nothing to do with us. That's something for the Prince of Jin and Prime Minister Wen to worry about."
Granny Zhou nodded, but she couldn't quite understand: "The Prince's mansion is well-guarded. It's a bit worrying that a princess could disappear in the mansion."
"Don't worry," Chu Yunjin said calmly. "As long as we treat others kindly, don't actively make enemies, are upright, and don't harbor any intention to harm others, we generally won't encounter such a thing."
He paused for a moment, then added, "And don't forget that our Prince holds military power. The Prince of Yan's residence is guarded by his personal guards, which is much more secure than the Prince of Jin's residence. Even if there are any petty thieves, they will not be able to return alive."
Granny Zhou nodded: "The Princess is right."
When Chu Yunjin arrived at Princess Ning'an's residence, Imperial Physician Sun was taking her pulse, and Consort Wen was considerately massaging the princess's shoulders.
The couple are not only of noble status and outstanding appearance, but their gentle and tranquil way of getting along is also particularly enviable—if all of this is real and not an illusion.
Human nature is truly complex, fickle, and insatiable.
Wen, the Prince Consort, has won the Princess's heart, won her love, and gained the benefits he desired. If he is willing to play this role for the rest of his life, living a loving and happy life with his wife, what loss would he have?
There was no loss.
Just like Chu Yunjin never understood, many male protagonists in ex-husband novels always blindly and foolishly liked a female supporting character who was inferior to the female protagonist in every way. But when the female protagonist was heartbroken, accumulated enough disappointment, got a divorce, or was reborn and no longer chose the male protagonist, he felt that the female supporting character was nothing special, and turned back to chase after the female protagonist. Finally, he was no longer blind and was willing to see the good points of the female protagonist and understand the truth that they were unwilling to understand before.
It's not that Prince Consort Wen is that kind of person.
Instead of going to such extremes to get everything they wanted, they chose to destroy people or relationships. The plot in the book was deliberately designed to create conflict and incite hatred. So what was Wen Fuma's purpose?
All three children took his surname, and he knew they were all his own. As long as he kept this secret forever, he could live with the eldest princess until his death, enjoying wealth and honor forever, and no one would ever know this secret.
Why did he have to kill the eldest princess?
It's just that human nature is inherently greedy.
He wanted both wealth and luxury, as well as beautiful wives and concubines.
Only by eliminating the eldest princess could he remarry and enjoy the bliss of having multiple wives and concubines.
"Your Highness's pulse is stable." The imperial physician took the princess's pulse. "The first three months are a critical period. Your Highness should pay attention to getting more rest, avoid excessive emotional fluctuations, and maintain a balanced diet of meat and vegetables."
Chu Yunjin snapped out of her reverie and saw that Wen Fuma was listening very attentively, nodding and taking notes as he listened, looking every bit the dutiful husband.
She lowered her eyes, suppressing the urge to pout.
Physician Sun left quickly.
Princess Ning'an invited Chu Yunjin to sit down and said, "I have already severely punished Jingyi for what happened yesterday. I called you here today so that she can apologize to you in person."
"Let bygones be bygones. It's okay for the young princess to be a little arrogant and domineering at such a young age," Chu Yunjin said, seemingly a little embarrassed. "I'm already married, and I've done a lot of inappropriate and foolish things before."
Princess Ning'an said calmly, "If you do something wrong, Prince Yan will take responsibility for it. It's his business if he doesn't blame you. But as my daughter, Jingyi is someone I cannot let run wild. Who knows if she will marry a man like Prince Yan who is willing to be tolerant?"
Chu Yunjin pretended not to understand her yin-yang saying and nodded, "The Princess is right."
She knew that Princess Ning'an had believed her words and was wary of Wen Fuma and his children. However, the princess was, after all, the princess. Over the years, her relationship with the Prince of Yan and his wife had been so-so. She was lukewarm towards her niece, Yan Jinyue, so naturally she wouldn't be very enthusiastic towards her, the Princess Consort of Yan.
If she were to think about it more critically, she might even resent herself for shattering the illusion of tenderness and affection, turning her from a happy princess into a victim scheming against and guarding against Prince Consort Wen.
It's normal for her to be dissatisfied with herself.
“Letter of Intent.” Princess Ning’an turned to look at Consort Wen. “I’d like to speak with the Princess Consort of Yan. You go ahead and attend to your business. Call Jingyi over later so she can apologize to the Princess Consort of Yan in person.”
Prince Consort Wen nodded: "You're pregnant, don't overwork yourself."
"How could I get tired from talking to Princess Consort Yan?" Princess Ning'an said irritably. "Why don't you take a rope and tie me to your belt so you can take me everywhere you go?"
Chu Yunjin blushed: "Uncle is just worried about Aunt."
Prince Consort Wen smiled helplessly and turned to leave.
Princess Ning'an gave Chu Yunjin a wink, signaling her to sit closer to her.
As Chu Yunjin stood up, she instructed, "Ade, you and Granny Zhou go outside to keep watch. Zhaixing and Laoyue can stay here."
"yes."
Princess Ning'an frowned: "Yesterday in the Empress Dowager's palace, the Empress Dowager reacted as if I were pregnant. Did you find that strange?"
Chu Yunjin paused for a moment, then frowned: "It's definitely not normal."
“The Empress Dowager has always doted on me, and that hasn’t changed since I was a child.” Princess Ning’an lowered her eyes and slowly took a sip of tea. “But ever since I married Consort Wen, she has always spoiled him out of love for me. She would summon us to the palace for meals every few days and always reward Consort Wen with all sorts of precious things, such as inkstones, jade pendants, or valuable paintings. At first, I would always act coquettishly with the Empress Dowager, saying that my mother no longer cared about her daughter now that she had a son-in-law. But I was actually very happy. As a daughter, most people probably hope that the husband they choose will be liked and approved by their elders.”
