Concubine Li's words were like a devil's voice, carrying a bewitching power.
Xia Yuning heard every word clearly. She knew that she should stay away from Concubine Li, but she unknowingly took her words to heart.
"Miss Xia, the princess has poured all her motherly love into you. Since something like this happened between you and the young master in the mansion, she, as a mother, is naturally anxious and angry."
"You're going to be a mother now, so you should try to understand a mother's heart." Concubine Li coaxed her, "I think as long as you soften your attitude and beg her, she will forgive you for the sake of the child."
When Xia Yuning came to her senses, Concubine Li had already left, and her fragrance still lingered in the air.
Xia Yuning's gaze gradually focused, the moonlight outside the window imprinted in her pupils.
She thought that since she was pregnant with Xia Yifeng's child, the matter was a foregone conclusion. As long as she gave in first, Princess Rong would definitely forgive her this time because of their mother-daughter relationship over the years!
Concubine Li is right!
At this time, Xia Yuning had completely regarded Concubine Li as a piece of driftwood, and she saw a glimmer of hope.
The next morning, Bai Zhirou arrived at Prince Rong's Mansion, and as expected, the emperor's edict had already come down.
Prince Rong's title was reduced to that of a prince, and none of his descendants could inherit his title.
Everyone in Prince Rong's Mansion was shocked beyond words after hearing this!
"Father, what's going on?" Concubine Li was the first to ask him with an ugly look on her face.
She is pregnant with a baby!
Moreover, she asked someone to take a look and found out that it was a boy. When Princess Rong passed away and she became the princess, the child would be the crown prince!
But now, she heard it right, right?
Prince Rong's title was actually stripped?
Concubine Li almost couldn't stand.
Prince Rong's face was pale but he didn't say much, obviously he already knew it.
The three Xia Mingyang brothers also had painful expressions on their faces, while Xia Yuning, who was kneeling on the side, had a pale face. She only felt that the nobility of the Rong Palace and her status as a noble lady were moving away from her!
If Prince Rong no longer exists, then what is the point of her being a noble lady?
This child cannot stay!
Xia Yuning made up her mind.
"Tsk tsk, the Rong Prince's Mansion, which was once a good place, has turned into what it is now. It is truly unprecedented for the prince to do this." Bai Zhirou sneered.
"Bai Zhirou, don't be too proud! You and we are a family, we prosper together and suffer together! Our palace is not doing well, do you think you will have an easy time?" Xia Yifeng was so angry that he cursed.
"What do you mean by family? When I first came to Prince Rong's Mansion, you treated me coldly and I almost died at the hands of Xia Yuning. Why didn't you talk about family then?"
"Don't you think it's too late for you to say this now?" Bai Zhirou scolded coldly.
It was a fact that Xia Yuning wanted to harm her, but Xia Yuning was now like a defeated hen, and it was not worth Bai Zhirou's time to waste on her!
Xia Yifeng was so angry that he almost raised his fist to hit someone, but was stopped by Xia Mingyang.
"Alright, haven't you thought you've been embarrassed enough?" Prince Rong shouted angrily, "If you three hadn't done this, would it have turned out like this?"
As if he had finally found an outlet to vent all the thoughts and feelings, Prince Rong scolded his three brothers, including Xia Yuning.
Concubine Li could not bear the blow and returned to the yard with the help of her maid.
Bai Zhirou wanted to tell the good news to Princess Rong, but was stopped by the three brothers and Xia Yuning.
"I heard that Miss Xia is already a month pregnant? Have you thought about when to hold the wedding? You can't hide your belly anymore if it gets that big." Bai Zhirou looked at Xia Yuning steadily, with a smile in her eyes.
Xia Yuning felt guilty when she looked at her and subconsciously covered her stomach.
Xia Yifeng's face changed and he grabbed Xia Yuning's hand in front of everyone.
"Bai Zhirou, you vicious woman, sooner or later I will expose your true face in front of the Empress Dowager!" Xia Yifeng pointed at Bai Zhirou's nose and cursed.
With a "snap", Ming Cui reached out and knocked off his fingers. "Mr. Xia, you should address her as Princess Mingzhu and greet her politely when you meet someone."
Mingcui raised her chin slightly, with a hint of majesty in her eyes, and she had the aura of the princess's personal maid.
These were all taught to her by Nanny Ruan. She had always been by Bai Zhirou's side and was her most beloved maid.
Now, after the guidance of Nanny Ruan, he has become more calm.
Everyone was slightly surprised to see her like this.
Princess Rong finally found out about this. She lay on the bed with a crooked mouth and foaming at the mouth.
The palace doctor came hurriedly to examine her and said that her condition had become more serious and that she could not be stimulated any further, otherwise her life would be in danger.
Prince Rong frowned as he looked at Princess Rong who had a needle stuck in her face. There was a disgusting smell in the air.
He was filled with disgust and left before the court doctor finished treating him.
I should go and comfort Concubine Li. Even her feet smell better than Princess Rong's.
When Princess Rong saw him turn around and leave without hesitation, tears welled up in her eyes.
This is the person she has slept with for decades!
He was so ruthless when he saw her paralyzed in bed.
In the end, Xia Yuning did not beg Princess Rong to keep her. She walked out in a daze.
But just when she was halfway there, she was stopped by someone. When she turned around, she saw that it was Xia Yifeng.
The two arrived at a rockery.
"Yuning, don't worry, I will be responsible for you. When I heard that you were pregnant, my first reaction was happiness!" Xia Yifeng smiled like a fool.
"Responsible? How can you be responsible? You are only the son of a prince, and you cannot inherit the title. How can you support me and the child? With your monthly salary of three taels of silver?"
Xia Yuning saw the smile in his eyes and felt deeply ironic.
It's okay that her second brother is usually naive and simple, but how come he is still as stupid as a pig after going through so many things?
Xia Yifeng originally thought that Xia Yuning would be very touched by what he said, but he didn't expect the result to be like this.
The corners of his mouth drooped a little bit, and the smile in his eyes faded a little bit.
He looked at the girl in front of him and it felt like he was meeting her for the first time.
The wind rustled the treetops, and the cicadas started chirping again, adding a bit of noise to the summer.
"You, you don't want to?" Xia Yifeng asked in a hoarse voice.
He thought Xia Yuning had feelings for him, so he pulled her over so excitedly.
But he never saw even a hint of affection in her eyes.
"Why should I agree? Xia Yifeng, can you be more mature? We were framed by a villain and did this immoral thing!"
"I'm your biological sister!" Xia Yuning practically yelled, "Can you use your brain a little bit before doing things?"
