C40 (2/2)

Qi Qi Qi did not say anything as she waited for Mrs Xu to finish laughing.

After a long while, Mrs Xu took over the wet handkerchief offered by Mrs Chen and covered the corners of her eyes.

”Do you know how difficult it is to choose yourself? How many people in this world can truly choose the life they want to live?”

”I know it's very difficult, but if I don't do it then there's no hope at all. Only after working hard for a while can I have a sliver of hope, and if I know that there's a steel knife hanging over my head that could fall at any time, how could I be willing to die without working hard?”

Mrs Xu was not in a hurry to reply. Instead, she looked at her quietly, as if she really wanted to see what she was thinking from her face.

After all, the child in your stomach may be the only son of the prince. Even if I am willing to take the risk, the prince may not agree to let you leave the palace.

”The only child? As far as I know, the Royal Concubine is actively looking for a good doctor to treat her cold ailment, and has already begun to show some results, at that time, the Royal Concubine will definitely secretly give the Royal Prince the antidote again so that he can conceive. Since the Princess is old now, it's impossible for her to always keep the Prince around, as long as Elder Sister Xu finds a chance to bring the Prince to the West District during that time, it's not impossible for her to impregnate a child. ”

”Child, I have suffered enough myself. I don't want my own child to suffer as much as I do in this world.” Xu Shi lowered her head to look at her stomach, murmuring in a low voice that others could not hear.

Although he could not hear what the Xu family had said, he could guess from the sadness that was seeping out of her body.

She couldn't help but secretly sigh in her heart. Which woman in this backyard wasn't pitiful? After marrying into the Prince's mansion for so long, she always showed off her haughty attitude, making people think that she was just pretending instead of scheming. This was probably a disguise on her part.

In the original plot, the Xu family had slowly faded out of sight due to Princess Hua-Yang's plots. Although they still retained their title of side consort, in reality, they had already settled in the West District and were no longer in sight. Now that she thought about it, Princess Hua-Yang's actions should have been within everyone's expectations.

Now that she wanted to force her out of the sect for the sake of her own plans, she didn't know if those words would be able to move her.

She had always known that the Miss was intelligent, and that the Miss's headstrong and headstrong attitude was mostly an act. But she had originally thought that the Miss had an awkward position in the mansion, which was why she had no choice but to do it in order to scare off the servants. Now, it seemed that the Miss's heart was like dying embers, which was why she hid herself like this.

Recalling how he had asked the young miss to pull herself together and fight with the other women in the mansion, he couldn't help but feel his heart ache. If the young miss didn't want to be rich and powerful, and only wanted to live on in peace, then wouldn't her words be forcing the young miss to do what she wasn't willing to do?

”Miss!” Mrs Chen wanted to say something but hesitated as she called out to Mrs Xu. In a moment of desperation, she had forgotten to call for a master in the Prince's Mansion.

She took a deep breath before saying, ”Okay, I agree to work with you. You're right, you have to live your own life, and you can't just avoid it. Only when you have the initiative will you have the right to choose what kind of life you want to live.”

Hearing this, the corner of Qi Qi Qi's mouth rose, before she raised the teacup in her hands, ”Since Big Sister Xu has already made up her mind, then I'll use tea in place of wine and wish you a happy cooperation with us.”

The Xu family slightly pursed their lips, bringing the teacup closer to their mouths and gulping down all the tea in the cup. Afterwards, they even tilted the teacup to seventy percent, indicating that they had finished drinking it all.

When the time came, she would use this as an excuse to persuade the prince to put Big Sister Xu in confinement again for a period of time. Just now, before mother Sun left, I intentionally knelt down in front of her and told her to go and ask the prince. I'm afraid that the prince is about to arrive.

”How do you want me to cooperate?”

”Of course it's to put on a show with a deep sisterly relationship. When the time comes, Elder Sister Xu will say that the action of me kneeling down just now gave you a big fright, and you immediately got someone to help me up, but I was determined to kneel down and apologize. You worrying about the child in my womb is truly difficult.”

Mrs Xu frowned slightly, ”What's the use of this? Other than dispelling the wangfei's scheme, there's no harm whatsoever for her at all.”
