Wu Yuanzhang's words were like a thorn, piercing Huaiyu's heart.
He bit his lips hard, opened his lips, and closed them again.
He didn't know how to answer. In fact, the fact that he came here today for some unknown reason showed that he believed what Wu Yuanzhang said.
But over the years, Leng Yu and Shui Luolan treated him very well, and he began to doubt what Wu Yuanzhang had said.
Torn between two extreme ideas, he didn't know what to do.
Seeing that he was still hesitating, Wu Yuanzhang said directly:
"Tonight at midnight, the people from Prince Yu's Mansion will take action. Go to the back door of Prince Yu's Mansion and you will hear what you want to know."
Huaiyu was skeptical about Wu Yuanzhang's words.
However, since he said that something would happen outside the back door of Prince Yu's Mansion tonight, he would go and listen, and the truth would be revealed.
Huaiyu glanced at Wu Yuanzhang, nodded, stood up, walked towards the front yard of the cloth shop, and then left the cloth shop directly.
After coming out of the cloth shop, his mood became extremely heavy, as he was already gloomy.
Over the years, he had never doubted his father and mother's love for him, but these past few days, he began to doubt them.
Walking on the quiet street, listening to the squeaking sound of snow under his feet, Huaiyu felt even more depressed.
…
In the afternoon, the snow finally stopped completely and the sky finally cleared up. The afterglow of the sun shone on the snow on the ground, emitting a dazzling white light.
However, at this moment, the Prince Xi's Mansion was shrouded in dark clouds.
It was discovered in the morning that Xiao Cui was pregnant, and in the evening, she started to act up.
She either complained that the food was too salty or too greasy. In the end, she even overturned the food and ordered the kitchen to remake it for her over and over again.
During this break, she said her shoulders were sore and asked the maid to massage her shoulders. However, she thought the maid's hands were too heavy and slapped her twice.
The girl came to Yu Qiaoqiao to complain with grievance. As the hostess of Xiwang Mansion, Yu Qiaoqiao felt that she needed to come forward and let Xiao Cui know the fate of a poor person who suddenly becomes rich.
So, she brought the wronged girl to Xiao Cui's room like a whirlwind.
The moment she entered the door, she saw the mess on the floor, and then she heard Xiao Cui's shouting and cursing.
"I told you I can't eat greasy food. It makes me sick and nauseous. But you insisted on giving me these greasy foods. Are you deaf or blind?"
Two cooks stood in front of her, looking at a loss. When they saw Yu Qiaoqiao come in, they hurriedly bowed.
Yu Qiaoqiao waved her hand, signaling them to leave, but Xiao Cui refused and kept shouting,
"No, I haven't had dinner yet. I called them here to teach them how to make the food I like. How can you let them go? No one is allowed to leave."
Yu Qiaoqiao looked at this extremely arrogant girl with a cold look in her eyes and ordered in a stern voice:
"The daily expenses for food and clothing at Prince Xi's Mansion are all standardized. You wasted so much food today. Give orders that no more food be delivered to Xiao Cui before dark tomorrow."
“You dare…”
Xiao Cui stared at Yu Qiaoqiao, pointed at her, raised her chin, and asked:
"I'm pregnant with Prince Xi's child. How dare you deny me food and let the child starve? Can you bear the consequences?"
Looking at Xiao Cui's arrogant face and the finger pointing at her, Yu Qiaoqiao slowly walked to her side and without saying anything, slapped her in the face.
Xiao Cui was stunned for a moment, and it took her a while to react. She stood up from the chair and asked angrily:
"You...you hit me? Ouch, my stomach hurts. Quick...quickly call the prince."
"Let's see who dares to move."
Yu Qiaoqiao's sharp voice resounded throughout the room. All the servants stood beside her with their heads lowered, and no one dared to move.
Seeing this, Xiao Cui knew that if she continued to be arrogant, she would suffer.
She simply pointed at the servants and angrily cursed:
"You...you are ganging up on me, right? I'm going to seek justice from the prince right now, you dogs and slaves."
"Stop her."
Seeing Xiao Cui was about to leave, Yu Qiaoqiao scolded her, and several maids stepped forward and stood in front of Xiao Cui.
Xiao Cui looked at these people, her face flushed, and she shouted angrily,
"What are you doing? Get out of here, get out of here..."
Yu Qiaoqiao raised the corner of her mouth slightly, turned around and looked at her, and admonished her with contempt:
"As far as I know, this is the third time you've knocked over food sent from the kitchen. You even slapped three maids today. Don't think that just because you're pregnant with Leng Xi's child, you can act recklessly in Prince Xi's Mansion. Let me tell you, I, Yu Qiaoqiao, have the final say in this Prince Xi Mansion. Someone, pass on the message that from today on, only one meal will be delivered to her at each meal. If she doesn't eat, throw it away and feed it to the dogs. Also, don't let her come in and out of here as she pleases, lest she hurt the child in her belly."
Hearing this, Xiao Cui looked at her with horror and raised her voice to ask:
"You want to put me under house arrest?"
Yu Qiaoqiao didn't want to do this, but the girl was making too much trouble. If she didn't intervene, this girl would definitely break the rules of Prince Xi's Mansion.
She half-closed her eyes and looked at Xiao Cui, sneering coldly:
"Put you under house arrest? You're wrong. I'm doing this to protect the royal bloodline. If you don't agree, wait until after the baby is born."
"You are deliberately targeting me. Well, I won't have this child anymore. I will abort him right now."
While saying this, Xiao Cui kept beating her stomach with her hands. However, Yu Qiaoqiao did not ask anyone to stop her, but just watched coldly.
Seeing that no one stopped her, Xiao Cui stopped. Seeing this, Yu Qiaoqiao warned again:
"As long as the child in your belly is still there, you can stay safely in Prince Xi's Mansion. If he is gone, you can only get out of here."
Leaving behind these words as cold as ice, Yu Qiaoqiao turned around and left with everyone.
Xiao Cui suddenly took a few steps back dejectedly, then rushed to the door. She wanted to find the prince, who would definitely speak for her.
But as soon as she reached the door, she was stopped by two maids. She shouted angrily:
"Get out of here! I'm pregnant with the royal family's child. If you dare to touch me, I'll kill you."
The two girls hesitated for a moment, but still tried to persuade:
"The princess said you can't leave here. Otherwise, I'll have to lock you up."
"Let's see who dares."
Xiao Cui screamed at the top of her lungs. She had wanted to use the baby in her belly to live a life of luxury, but she didn't expect that her plans would be ruined by Yu Qiaoqiao.
She wanted to force her way out, but the two girls grabbed her arms and pushed her back into the house, then locked the door.
She shook the door that isolated her from the world and shouted loudly.
"Let me out, you dogs, let me out. I want to see the prince. I want to see the prince."
