I'll tell you the secret and let's laugh together!

Ning Zhiyi slapped his forehead when he saw this, and pulled several people to the corner with one hand each, indicating that they should bend over, stick out their buttocks, and lean their upper bodies against the door to listen like him.

After the demonstration, he said, "See? This is the correct way to eavesdrop."

Seeing such an indecent action, except for the Second Prince, the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince refused. They were princes of Dali, how could they do such an action!

The second prince glared at the two of them, indicating that they had to act out the whole scene, and then made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Second Prince: If she finds out something is wrong, you two will be finished!

Finally, four strange-looking "big toads" appeared outside Concubine Jing's room.

The palace maid swallowed her saliva. She didn't dare to intervene or ask. She could only sneak into the room and tell Concubine Jing about this matter.

Concubine Jing moved her fingers and whispered something. Ji Youran paused, stared at Concubine Jing with her beautiful eyes wide open, then obediently repeated what she had just said, "Sister, now grandma wants to take a concubine for my husband on the grounds that I have no children. She's saying things like, saying that I'm a sinner of the Xiao family because I can't get pregnant."

"I don't mind taking a concubine, but my grandmother's words are very unpleasant. I am not good at talking, and I can't help crying when someone says that. Sister, I am really embarrassed."

"Second Aunt came to me again and told me that my husband and I had just been married and that we didn't need to rush to have children. I should be brave enough to resist unreasonable demands. She also told me not to keep things to myself and to complain to my husband. He would help me, but I didn't tell my husband."

Concubine Jing nodded and said, "You did the right thing. Your second uncle and second aunt are not good people. You must remember the things I asked you to investigate about the Xiao Mansion before the wedding. Don't be easily provoked by others."

"No matter what Madam Xiao says, you just have to listen. Listening does not mean you have to do what she says. If she goes too far, our Ji Mansion is not afraid of trouble! But why are you unwilling to tell Xiao Yu about these things? Is he not good to you?"

"No, he, he is very nice to me, I'm just a little afraid of him." Ji Youran's face was flushed. Who would be afraid of her husband? She was definitely the most shameful person.

"Puchi." Concubine Jing couldn't help laughing. It seemed that her sister was frightened by Xiao Yu's bad reputation outside, so she said:

"Don't worry, Xiao Yu just has a bad reputation, but he's actually a pretty good person. Before you get married, our mansion has already checked his background. If he wasn't good enough, even if you two were engaged since childhood, our mansion would never let you get married."

Ji Youran picked at his fingers, "But he's tall and strong, and he gets angry from time to time. I'm just afraid of him."

Concubine Jing pinched her face. The couple needed to figure out how to get along with each other. She did not continue the topic, but said, "Whether you are pregnant or not is not something that can be decided by one person. I will ask the imperial physician to take your pulse and check your body first."

"Sister, I asked a doctor to check me out, and there's nothing wrong with my body." Ji Youran's voice became lower and lower.

"Isn't that so?" Concubine Jing covered her lips with a handkerchief and frowned.

Ji Youran blinked. There were two reasons why she didn't tell Xiao Yu. One was that she was indeed a little afraid of him. The other was that she felt that the problem might be with him. If she said it directly, would it hurt his pride as a man?

My mother said that no matter who a person is, he or she has to have self-respect and face, so it is better not to hurt his self-respect.

[Tong'er, is this true? Is Xiao Yu the cause of infertility? ]

[No, no, no, I have to say it three times. Xiao Yu is fine. Although his second aunt gave him medicine to prevent him from having children, he did not take it. He knew that his grandmother and second uncle were coveting the position of Suyang Earl, so he was always on guard! ]

Concubine Jing narrowed her eyes slightly. So that's how it is. She had some ideas in mind.

"Sister, I..."

Raising her hand to stop Ji Youran from speaking, Concubine Jing understood Xiao Yu's concerns. The mansion was surrounded by jackals, and if they didn't clean them out, they would definitely not be able to have an heir. The risk was too great.

If he resists, he will be suppressed by seniority and etiquette. He must have felt aggrieved over the years. In that case, I might as well lend him a helping hand.

"Go and ask the fifth prince to come over."

There was one less 'big toad' outside the door, and the fifth prince walked slowly towards them with square steps, "Please tell me what I need, mother!"

When he was outside the door, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He didn't care whether the people in the Xiao family understood etiquette or not, or whether they were dirty or not, but he just couldn't let them bully his aunt!

"If the prince is free tomorrow, he can go to the Suyang Marquis's Mansion... There is no need to restrain yourself, the bigger the noise the better." Concubine Jing said, as she looked at the gradually darkening sky.

"Don't worry, mother. I'll take care of you!" The Fifth Prince rubbed his hands together, thinking about how to perform tomorrow. He glanced at the projections of several toad spirits outside the door and a plan came to his mind.

......

"Miss, you're awake. Several princes are here to see you. They said that it was an appointment made yesterday, and the Fourth Young Master is entertaining them." Tanchun helped Ning Zhiyi get up.

"What time is it?"

"My lady, it is just the hour of Si."

"Oh, it's so early. I'm so sleepy. Let me take a nap for a little while longer."

Ning Mansion Hall.

"First, let's roar loudly to calm the situation, and then we will fight them one by one and knock them all down." The second prince offered advice, but his words were obviously a joke and he was just saying it in jest.

The fourth prince was in a playful mood and continued, "Then I will act like I'm mad and smash the courtyards of the old lady of the Xiao Mansion and the second house."

Seeing his two elder brothers working so hard, the Fifth Prince was unwilling to lag behind, "Then I will pretend to be ill and seek death in the Xiao Mansion to scare these people to death!"

Ning Yuanzhi, who was drinking tea at the side, had his hands shaking as he held the teacup. He suspected that the three princes were crazy, he really suspected it!

Brother, please come back soon, I really can’t bear it!

"Haha, good!" The second prince turned to look at Ning Yuanzhi and said, "Yuanzhi, you will go too in a while. What are you going to do for your son?"

Ning Yuanzhi shook his head. He didn’t want to go!

"It's okay. If you don't know what to do, I'll think of it for you. Just pretend to be shocked by Madam Xiao and the people from the second house. It's easy to pretend to be a fool, just like this, with a crooked mouth and shaking hands."

Ning Yuanzhi:......

If he were given another chance, he would definitely agree if Du Shaofeng asked him to go fishing early this morning!

Just walked to the front hall, Ning Zhiyi heard the whole process:...

I originally thought that I was the most unreliable one, but I didn't expect that the royal family was where all the hidden dragons and crouching tigers were. Your Majesty is so lucky to have such sons, such as Crouching Tigers and Hidden Dragons. I think your life will not be boring.

He touched his nose and thought, since she was already there, should he just follow the formation and cause any trouble?

Forget it, I’ll just improvise when I get there.

After breakfast, the group set off in a mighty manner. The other four were determined to go to the Xiao Mansion to cause trouble, while Ning Yuanzhi was dragged over by the second prince to make up the numbers.

In the carriage, Ning Yuanzhi's heart was in turmoil. Did he really have to pretend to be a fool as the Second Prince said?

If I really did that, my eldest brother would not beat me to death because he is his younger brother, right?
