Jiang Ning said indifferently, “When you were the housekeeper, you didn’t give me a single penny, yet I didn’t starve to death.”
Madam Zhao’s face turned pale and she lowered her head, speaking softly, “The Princess Consort is from the Prime Minister’s Mansion, even without the money it doesn’t matter. But I am from a humble background…”
“Having money means I owe you? Your humble background, is that my fault?”
“No, I mean…”
“Now that Li Teng is in charge, crying to me won’t help. After all, I can’t be the master of this manor.” Jiang Ning interrupted her, “You should know who the real master is, why not beg him?”
“But the Princess Consort is the mistress of this manor…”
“The Prince of Yu is the true master in your hearts. I know you’re cunning, so why not compete with Ms. Li? Win back the power of the housekeeper, and you can resume your prestige.”
These words rendered Ms. Zhao speechless.
She also felt frustrated.
She had thought that the lame Princess Consort of Yu would be easy to manipulate, someone with a soft personality who allowed Li Teng, a girl of humble origin, to climb to the top without making a sound. But she turned out to be so useless.
Ms. Zhao kowtowed, got up, and left the room.
Returning to her room, she angrily vented her frustration.
“The woman in Crystal Clear Manor is useless too!” she cursed, “Born as a legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister’s mansion and now pregnant, she still allows that lowly woman, Ms. Li, to climb on top of her.”
Ms. Fang calmly said, “Sister, there’s no need for such words. It won’t do you any good if they spread out.”
“If you don’t go and tell, who will know?”
“Of course, I won’t tell, but you never know who might have a loose tongue.” Ms. Fang put down her teacup, “Sister, don’t worry about the events in Crystal Clear Manor; The Prince doesn’t care for her anyway, he’s just appeasing her family’s influence. Haven’t you seen the divorce letter arriving?”
“The divorce letter arrived, but wasn’t it brought back in the end? He apologized in public; what a big scene!”
“Who let her have such luck? Born from the belly of the Madam from Prime Minister’s Mansion, and now carrying our master’s seed. Even if the Prince doesn’t like her, he has to take care of her.”
After a moment of silence, Ms. Zhao suddenly said, “Speaking of which, it’s strange.”
“What’s strange?”
“When I went to Crystal Clear Manor today, I saw the size of the Princess Consort’s belly; it seemed pretty big already.”
“After all, she’s pregnant…”
“I know she’s pregnant, but it’s been not long since she entered the door, right?” Ms. Zhao frowned, “Given the timeline, the only time the Prince stayed in her room overnight was on the night of their big wedding. It must have been that night when she got pregnant. It’s only been two months, right?”
“Yes.”
“In two months, should the belly be visible?” As Ms. Zhao spoke, she stood up, adjusting her skirt around her waist, “When I saw the Princess Consort today, her belly was bulging like this. I know I’ve never been pregnant, but I’ve seen many women who were. It should take at least four or five months for the belly to be that big.”
“Is that so?”
“I thought it was strange at the time, but I didn’t realize it.” Ms. Zhao frowned, “Do you remember? When the Princess Consort first married here, she always felt nauseous and sleepy. How can it be like that during the early stages of pregnancy?”
Ms. Fang’s face also grew serious, she looked around and lowered her voice, “Are you saying that she was pregnant before she married here?”
“This is just my suspicion.”
“But if it’s as you said, her belly shouldn’t be that big.”
“No, I must find out.” Ms. Zhao sneered, “I heard that she was lost from the Jiang Family for more than ten years before being found. Such a precious legitimate daughter, shouldn’t she be doted upon? But as soon as she returned, she was married off.. Isn’t that strange? Who knows what unspeakable things she did before she was found?”contemporary romance
