Even Xiao Jinglin, who had never been interested in these inner-house struggles, couldn't help but pay attention to the development of the plot in the Wu family's backyard. However, Princess Xiao thought that she paid attention to it because she could learn some military strategies from that concubine. After all, a master does not care about his background.
However, the reason why Xiao Wei and her daughter were at a disadvantage in this Wu family civil war was also related to the attitude of the Yanbei Palace.
Xiao Wei had sent someone back to ask the Yanbei Palace to help her teach Wu Xiaohe and the concubine a lesson. The Yanbei King was away, and the Princess declined to respond, citing the inappropriateness of interfering in the affairs of the Wu family's inner court. The Yanbei Palace, temporarily controlled by Xiao Jingxi, had not taken any concrete steps to condemn the Wu family.
Instead, Wu Xiaohe took the initiative to send more than a dozen carts of return gifts to the Yanbei Palace to express his importance of the marriage to the Yanbei Palace. He also wrote a letter and after some jokes, he revealed the truth and said that he was not obsessed with sex, but just wanted to leave a descendant for the Wu family, and asked the Yanbei Palace to understand that he was a single-line family.
Even the old princess, after reading the letter, could do nothing but curse. She couldn't just say that the Wu family would be extinct. Who was it that prevented Xiao Wei from bearing a son? The old princess even wondered if she and her daughter were cursed. Why were they born into such a powerful family, yet ultimately lost to a vile woman because of their children's wishes?
The Yanbei Palace ignored them, so Xiao Wei and Wu Yiyu had no choice but to continue fighting with the concubine.
When Xiao Jingxi went out for a while because of something, Xiao Jinglin hesitated and continued to gossip with Ren Yaoqi awkwardly: "I heard that Wu Xiaohe's concubine was pregnant, but Wu Yiyu caused her to have a miscarriage."
This was the first time that Xiao Jinglin told someone about this kind of inner courtyard gossip. She used to despise those gossipy women who talked about other people's affairs for no reason. But now when she talked about this with Ren Yaoqi in secret, she didn't feel uncomfortable at all. She even had a very intimate feeling, although she felt a little guilty when she said it.
Ren Yaoqi was also a little surprised that Xiao Jinglin would bring up this, but it wasn't a bad thing, so she asked, "Oh? Is this the reason Miss Wu was reprimanded by General Wu?"
Xiao Jinglin nodded. "However, the people the palace sent to Ningxia reported back that the concubine's pregnancy might not be true. Wu Yiyu was most likely framed and took the blame."
Fake pregnancies were not uncommon in the inner chambers. Ren Yaoqi nodded in understanding and asked curiously, "Does the Yanbei Palace really not care? After all, Madam Wu is from the Yanbei Palace too. Doesn't the Palace have to worry about its reputation?"
Xiao Jinglin glanced at Ren Yaoqi, thought for a moment, and said meaningfully, "Xiao Jingxi said that face can't be eaten. Our royal family's ancestors were born into a family of warriors. If we want to learn the manners of aristocratic families, we should not have wielded swords and arrows in the first place."
