Chapter 76
"Min Min, it's naturally good news that you've been held in high regard by the imperial clan and have been appointed as the princess consort of the imperial prince. Unfortunately, his sixth Highness already has the firstborn son. Nowadays, that lady Mu has been diagnosed with pregnancy, too. After you enter the estate, you mustn't be reckless and cross swords with her. Bear in mind that you have to gain his Highness's respect first. Scheme after you give birth to di son."
"Rest assured, mother. Min Min knows. That lady Mu isn't only daughter's eyesore. Daughter has heard that woman from Su House has a jealous nature. Some people will naturally make a move. Furthermore, his Highness's firstborn son is still young. Whether or not he would be able to reach adulthood is unknown, not to mention the one inside her womb." He Lian Min Min continued to draw the paint. Her hands were steady and expression concentrated.
"In that case, mother can be at ease. Remember, you're the princess consort appointed by his Majesty. If there are no big misdeeds from your side, your honorable position of princess consort will be very stable. No matter how his Highness favors that lady Mu, there is no justification to overstep you."
"Min Min won't make a mistake and fulfill some people's wishes."
She wasn't as foolish as to personally make a move. There was no innocent woman in the inner yard. She just needed to provoke them a little and they'll give in. As for offsprings, before she, He Lian Min Min, had di son, no woman in the estate was allowed to act misconducted.
The capital. Wan estate.
"Miss, you're not paying attention to your body again. The wind is big at night, you'll catch cold."
"I'm not that frail. Well, retreat."
Wan Jing Wen watched maidservant retreat. Subsequently, she walked before a copper mirror and attentively sized up this unfamiliar face that she's been looking at for over ten years.
Lady Wan? The maiden laughed softly. Each day of these ten something years, she had to suppress the bone-piercing hatred. Finally, the Heavens has opened its eyes and let this day come.
He Lian Min Min! The maiden clenched her hands into a tight fist, her expression sinister. That malicious woman. She was a nation's mother, yet she times and again murdered imperial offsprings and framed imperial concubines. She had bribed the maidservant in her palace to poison her son in the long term. Served her right that Zong Zheng Lin would rather favor consort Xian and grace imperial concubine Rong than enter her Fengqi Palace. In the last moments of her previous life, she has merely seen her being deposed. What a pity that she wasn't able to personally kill that malicious woman and avenge her son.
When she recalled Jianan Emperor's cold-heartedness, the hatred Wan Jing Wen harbored inside her heart couldn't be vanished no matter what. If it wasn't for him repeatedly neglecting her and their son and being engrossed in government affairs in the court while their imperial son had an outbreak of an acute illness, how could their imperial son die with regrets? She will never forget how her eight years old son died suffering from convulsions, never ceasing calling out for the emperor father who has never cared about him.
Though she didn't know why Zhong Zheng Lin's inner yard was completely different from the previous life, she understood that the problem lied on that lady Mu.
Not only Jiang cefei wasn't able to enter the estate, even Tang Yi Ru, consort Xian with everlasting favor, has "died of a serious illness". The one who has now emerged as a new force to be reckoned with and monopolized favor was instead an ordinary concubine whom has Zhong Zheng Lin early on placed in the back of his mind. How can she not be suspicious?
