Supported by Chunxing, Song Yihuan got up and sat back on the chair.
The Princess of Ning recalled Jiling Chuan's reaction just now and couldn't help sighing.
She originally thought that the reason Jiling Chuan didn't want to take Song Yihuan as a concubine was that he didn't want to wrong her and wanted to give her the position of the Crown Prince's Consort.
Now it seemed that she was wrong.
"Don't be too sad. Chuan'er is just such a person. He was angry just now, so he said those things to you. But he still cares about you in his heart. Look, isn't he going to look for Xuan'er again?"
After everything calmed down, the Princess of Ning comforted Song Yihuan instead.
"Xuan'er hasn't been found yet. For Xuan'er and the child in your belly, you should cheer up. Don't say those words about getting rid of the child again. This is Chuan'er's first child. As long as you take good care of yourself and be more obedient to him, Chuan'er will surely give you a proper title after the child is born."
Song Yihuan lowered her head and replied in a muffled voice, "I understand these principles. Thank you, Princess."
"Alright. Times have changed. Go back and rest."
Song Yihuan nodded and left the Princess of Ning's wing room supported by Chunxing.
Chunxing had witnessed the whole process in the room and was still in a daze until now. Back in the wing room where Song Yihuan and Song Nanxin lived, seeing that there was no one around, Chunxing finally asked.
"Fourth Miss, did you really... really sleep with the Crown Prince on behalf of the Eldest Miss?"
Song Yihuan replied, "Yes."
Chunxing then remembered that Song Yihuan had disappeared for a whole night on the day after Jiling Chuan returned to the capital and only came back the next day. When she came back, she looked extremely exhausted and caught a cold and had a high fever the next day. It turned out that she was framed by the Eldest Miss and lost her virginity.
No wonder the Eldest Miss came to look for the Fourth Miss every once in a while. So that's the reason!
Chunxing was both angry and sad and immediately shed tears. "Miss, why did you hide this from me so tightly? Why did you keep everything to yourself? Do you not trust me?"
Song Yihuan sighed and raised her hand to wipe the tears from Chunxing's face. "Silly girl, the reason I didn't tell you before was that you were in charge of taking care of Xuan'er. If you knew, you might show some signs. That child is so sensitive. He would surely guess that I'm in a difficult situation. I don't want him to be sad for me."
Chunxing wiped her tears and knew that Song Yihuan was right. Don't look at Song Yixuan as if he was innocent. In fact, he had a lot on his mind. At such a young age, he had already learned to read people's faces. Otherwise, how could he try his best to please the Princess of Ning just to make things easier for Song Yihuan and himself in the Prince of Ning's Mansion.
Thinking of Song Yixuan, Chunxing felt even sadder.
"Poor Fifth Young Master. He's still missing. Such a good Fifth Young Master. Why is his life so hard?"
Looking at Chunxing in front of her, Song Yihuan thought of Fuling who had accompanied her for a while.
She raised her hand and stroked Chunxing's hair. "Chunxing, listen carefully. What I'm going to tell you next is very confidential. Only three people in this world know this secret. Even if you hear it, you must keep it a secret."
Chunxing realized the seriousness of the matter, stopped her movements, and nodded vigorously. "Don't worry, Fourth Miss. Chunxing will never tell a third person."
Song Yihuan whispered in Chunxing's ear how she found Song Yixuan, how the divine doctor saved Song Yixuan, and how she found Song Nanxin's earring in Song Yixuan's hand.
After learning these secrets, Chunxing was so shocked that her tears suddenly stopped. She covered her mouth with her hand, her face full of disbelief.
She never thought that the Eldest Miss was so vicious! She had already wanted to harm the Fourth Miss and the Fifth Young Master!
The only thing to be thankful for was that Song Yihuan and Song Yixuan had both escaped the disaster!
"Then, what about the child in your belly, Fourth Miss?" Chunxing looked at her abdomen.
Song Yihuan replied, "I asked the divine doctor for a medicine that can make me fake a pregnancy. This medicine can last for three months. Within these three months, I'm going to find out the truth about Mother's death and avenge Mother, Xuan'er, and myself."
Chunxing's face also became firm. "This servant will help the Miss."
What Song Yihuan didn't tell Chunxing was that when Mother was about to give birth, she wanted to go out to find a doctor but happened to meet her elder sister.
The elder sister said she would take her to find a doctor, but in the end, they didn't find any doctor. Who knew if there was something fishy about it?
And that "Beiman Tuo", a poisonous herb from the Northern Di tribe, how did it appear in the capital? Who brought that poisonous herb into the Marquis of Ding'an's Mansion?
She had to find out all these things.
As long as her elder sister was still dissatisfied, she would surely show some flaws.
On the other hand, in Meng's room, Meng was scolding Song Nanxin. "Do you know how scary what happened today was? If I hadn't reacted quickly enough and cooperated with you to play this play, you would not only have lost your position as the Crown Prince's Consort, but the Marquis's Mansion would also have suffered a great disaster!"
"Also, how could you come up with such an excuse and say that you were defiled by a thief in the peach blossom forest? If the Princess is hard - hearted and wants to punish you for this, I don't know what you're going to do!"
Although Meng helped Song Nanxin cover up the lie, she was still very angry when she thought about it.
Song Nanxin looked unconcerned. "I said so because I know the Princess's temperament well. She believes in Buddhism. I went to the Changyue Nunnery to pray for the Crown Prince that time. When she learned that something happened to me on my way back to the mansion, she would only think I was pitiful. Moreover, to maintain the face of the Prince of Ning's Mansion, she would only make a big thing small and a small thing nothing. She wouldn't really do anything to me."
She smiled lightly. "Now that she's going to have a grandson, to accumulate virtue for the unborn eldest grandson, she won't touch me either."
Of course, this method wasn't thought up by her but was Cui Muyuan's strategy. Just as he had expected, things developed in the direction Cui Muyuan had predicted.
The only variable in this matter was that Song Yihuan was actually pregnant, and Jiling Chuan actually wanted to send her to the villa and ask the Empress Dowager for permission to divorce her!
Before, he didn't even want to touch her, and now he thought she was an eyesore just at the sight of her.
"You should think about how to make the Crown Prince change his mind now and not tell the Empress Dowager about this, so as to keep your position as the Crown Prince's Consort." Meng complained.
"The Crown Prince doesn't like that little bitch now, but that little bitch is pregnant. If she keeps showing up in front of the Crown Prince every day, it's hard to guarantee that the Crown Prince won't change his mind."
Song Nanxin was annoyed and replied casually, "Alright, alright. I know. I'll figure out a way. I'll go back first."
Song Yihuan sat in the room for a while, and then Song Nanxin came back.
Seeing Song Yihuan sitting on the chair, Song Nanxin got angry.
"Song Yihuan, did you do it on purpose? Do you think that just because you're pregnant with the Crown Prince's child, you can expose our business in front of everyone and step on me hard, right?"
Song Yihuan raised her head and stared blankly at her. Instead of answering Song Nanxin's words, she asked, "Sister, did you really not see Xuan'er in the post - station tonight?"
