Chapter 899: Incompatibility

On this day, Xu Mingqian gathered everyone from the third room and announced a great event in the main hall: Ning Jiewei was pregnant.

Afterwards, Xu Yingyuan accompanied Leng Man back to Zhuxianju.

Xu Yingyuan deliberately made a mysterious remark.

"Mother, something terrible is happening."

Leng Man was feeling lazy and didn't take it seriously.

"She's just pregnant, isn't she? Why is it such a big deal?"

"Are you afraid that she will take advantage of the child and become arrogant and bully us even more?"

"There are rumors out there that I am having an affair with someone and that I beat my concubine for no reason. I have already been bullied by her to this extent, and if she bullies me any further, it will be no more than this."

"I don't care, just let her be."

Xu Yingyuan continued to be mysterious.

"Mother thinks this is too simple."

"Is this just a family dispute or a conspiracy in the court?"

Leng Man was confused.

"Otherwise, what is it?"

Xu Yingyuan's expression was full of mixed emotions and was full of strange and bizarre emotions.

"Mother will never guess what I found out yesterday."

Leng Man is impatient.

"Stop keeping us in suspense."

There is a gleam in Xu Yingyuan's eyes.

"The child Aunt Ning is carrying is not my father's."

"My father was kept in the dark and had no idea what was going on."

Leng Man stared in surprise and anger.

"what?"

"How dare Ning Jiewei let the master down?"

"Alas, I have long advised the master that Ning Jiewei is not sincere to him, but he just won't listen."

"He actually misunderstood me and thought I was having an affair with a man outside of his family. Little did he know that it was his good wife who was having an affair with someone else!"

"Who do you think the bad guy is?"

Xu Yingyuan suddenly looked flustered.

"Mother, be careful what you say. That's not a bad boy."

"I'm telling the truth, mother, please don't be angry, take care of yourself."

Leng Man lost her patience.

"What do you mean? Who is it? Tell me now."

Xu Yingyuan answered hesitantly.

"Yes... Father."

Leng Man was startled, furious and surprised, her face completely pale.

"what?!"

Xu Yingyuan helped her back to her seat and spoke eloquently with great emotion.

"Before, my mother's words convinced me and I thought they were profound."

"But, we were wrong."

"This matter is not in the house, nor in the court, but a dispute in the harem."

"Mrs. Ning's ultimate goal is to be crowned as the imperial concubine, replace mother, and become the apple of father's eye."

"She first seduced my second brother, causing my father to be disappointed in him. Then she framed you, saying you were having an affair with a man outside of your family, causing my father to lose hope in you. Finally, she used my father's mouth to spread the truth about her pregnancy, intending to guide the emperor to take her as his concubine, or even to make her his queen."

Leng Man suddenly realized.

"No wonder the emperor suddenly became heartless and gave me to Master Zhuang for no apparent reason."

"No wonder Shao'er's temperament has changed so much. He treats me like a plaything and doesn't give me any respect."

"I originally thought that the emperor might have suspected you of changing your mind, or that he was angry that I refused to enter the palace, or that he was missing Empress Zhenyu. Who would have thought that it was Ning Jiewei who framed you."

"Princess Yuexi's conspiracy is indeed hard to guard against."

She was puzzled and at a loss.

"This sounds ridiculous. Are you sure she is pregnant with a prince or princess?"

Xu Yingyuan spoke with a firm tone and was very confident in her words.

"I'm absolutely sure."

"If you don't believe me, you can go and find out."

"The maids who had worked the night shift at Yiliju all said that they had never heard any romantic sounds coming from the bedroom."

"What kind of woman has no rhyme? She is a pure and innocent woman."

"Then can Aunt Ning be considered a pure person?"

"Please forgive my crude words, but even if I were a pure person, it would be impossible for me to remain silent for such a long time."

"Mother, think about it, is this reasonable?"

"Father and her never consummated their marriage."

"Either my father is too old and weak to consummate the marriage; or Aunt Ning is just coaxing him into not letting him touch her."

Leng Man thought about it again and again and nodded yes.

"She has been in the Xu residence for quite some time, and there has been no news at all. This is indeed unreasonable."

"The master did say that he was old and weak."

"After thinking it over, your analysis makes sense."

"But, a while ago, during the Huichuntang medical incident, didn't you find out that before Ning Jiewei assassinated Prince Dijin, she had a brief affair with the master?"

"That news is inaccurate?"

Every word Xu Yingyuan writes is true and every sentence is clear.

"It's only now that I know that my father is just a title. In fact, the one who has a warm and affectionate relationship with Ning Jiewei is my father."

"From then on, she secretly investigated and learned everything about my father. She conspired with Princess Yuexi in an attempt to climb up the social ladder."

"Mother, please think about it. Princess Yuexi used to be a subordinate of our father. Now that she has lost our father's protection, she will naturally look for someone else to consolidate her power."

"One of the two sisters has captured the heart of King Di Jin, and the other has captured the heart of our father. I boldly speculate that Miss Ning Wu may still be alive, faking her death, sneaking into King Li's army, and falling in love with him."

"I heard that His Royal Highness Prince Li values ​​women's figures. He is pleased to see beautiful women and disgusted to hear ugly women. Miss Ning Wu has a beautiful waist and graceful figure, which is exactly what His Royal Highness Prince Li likes."

"Princess Yuexi's plan is very clever."

Leng Man was shocked and angry.

"This person is simply despicable. How could he come up with such a cunning plan?"

"Let alone guessing the whole plan, I can't even guess what her purpose is."

"I'm so angry."

"I told you, how could I see through Princess Yuexi's plan?"

"It's my fault. I was too smart and fell into her trap. She figured it out clearly and I had no power to fight back."

Xu Yingyuan gave kind words of comfort.

"How can I blame mother for this? She is Princess Yuexi, Yuesheng's number one counselor. It is normal that mother was caught off guard."

Leng Man felt uneasy and worried.

"What should we do now?"

"Do you have any way to salvage the situation?"

Xu Yingyuan weighed the circumstances and made the decision accordingly.

"If the plan is too complicated, we will definitely not be able to outsmart Princess Yuexi. I thought, why not keep it simple? Maybe Princess Yuexi will ignore it and not be on guard."

Leng Man suddenly realized something and her eyes lit up.

"Well, that makes sense."

"what should I do?"

Xu Yingyuan's eyes were filled with fierceness.

"The most urgent thing is that mother must first get rid of the child in Aunt Ning's belly and stop father from taking a concubine."

Leng Man was stunned and panic-stricken.

"what?"

"Killing innocent people is not a good thing. It is against the will of heaven and will bring retribution."

"The child in her belly has no grudge against us."

Xu Yingyuan speaks out boldly and with a serious tone, and her words are harsh and stern.

"How can there be no grudges or hatred? Regardless of whether Aunt Ning gives birth to a prince or a princess, she will be qualified to compete with me and my second brother for the throne."

"In the struggle for the throne, the two sides cannot coexist, and hatred is natural."

"Mother hesitated. Wait until Ning Jiewei announces to the world that this is the prince and princess. If you act again, it will be a crime of murdering the heir to the throne and you will be beheaded."

"If, by chance, she really gets to sit on the throne because of her son, it will be too late for her mother to regret it."

"I hope mother will think carefully about the interests involved."

Leng Man was terrified.

"I...I have never harmed anyone's child. I don't know what to do."

"What's your plan?"

Xu Yingyuan's pretty eyes dimmed.

"This is easy to handle, please don't be nervous, mother."

"Go buy a dose of medicine and quietly put it into Aunt Ning's pregnancy-preserving medicine. In a blink of an eye, everything will be fine."
