"Your Highness, please forgive me. What I am going to say next may be a little offensive..."

Aunt Su was interrupted by the Fifth Princess before she could finish her words.

"Madam Su, just keep talking. I can bear it."

She has been infertile for more than a year or two. The worst-case scenario is that there is no hope for her in this life!

"Your Highness, Empress Su Xian told you in a dream that among the five samples sent here, two of them are not your biological children. The other two samples are probably your nephews, who are close relatives to you, but not your biological children. Therefore, your Highness may have some minor illness and cannot have his own children... Therefore, your Highness's childlessness for many years is not your fault, but due to other reasons."

When the Fifth Princess heard the first few sentences, her eyebrows raised involuntarily, and she seemed a little angry, but when she heard the last sentence, her body swayed and she fell backwards.

Fortunately, Lin Yanniang was standing nearby and hurriedly supported him when she saw it.

"Be careful, Your Highness!"

To be honest, when she heard her mother talk about Su Xian's instructions, she was also shocked.

If the prince consort is really incompetent, but deliberately uses his concubine to prove himself, wouldn't this ruin the princess's life?

When you can have your own children, who would be willing to pour their heart and soul into a stranger?

Not to mention these outsiders, who all came to me out of conspiracy, just for my status and money?

The Fifth Princess gritted her teeth and then asked, "Madam Su, you just said that all four children are not the Prince Consort's biological children?"

"These old ladies don't know. They are just following Su Xian's instructions. But the Su Xian in my dream never tells lies."

"Then, which two children are the Fifth Prince Consort's nephews?"

"Your Highness, it's three and four."

"Xiao San and Xiao Si!"

The Fifth Princess gritted her teeth and recited, thinking of how the third and fourth little ones were still very young when they were brought back to the princess's mansion, only two or three years old. Children of this age, unless they are too ugly, are mostly chubby and very cute. What's more, the third and fourth little ones had a wet nurse to take care of them and were raised very well, so when they first came into the mansion, they were naturally very cute.

Sometimes, she actually had her mistresses brought to her bedroom and teased them, showing some affection for them.

Especially in the past two years, as she has gotten older, she has indeed thought about choosing a mistress or a concubine...

But if the third and fourth mistresses are actually the illegitimate children of the Xia brothers... the fifth princess felt disgusted when she thought of this.

It's hard for these brothers, they even share their mistresses!

But they themselves have done something filthy, so they have to disgust themselves?

Is this to assess your own good nature?

A blood-red color filled the fifth princess's eyes.

If the prince consort was right in front of her at this moment, she would definitely want to kill this man!

Not only did she want to kill that man, she also wanted to drive all the children of unknown bloodlines out of the Fifth Princess's Mansion!

"Madam Su..."

There was a hint of hoarseness in the Fifth Princess' voice.

"What Madam Su Xian said sounds too horrifying. I do believe in Madam Su Xian, but I have been deceived by those people for so many years. They have already entered my house. If I don't have evidence, it will not be easy to drive them away. I wonder if Madam Su has a way to verify this matter to the world?"

What the fifth princess said was very artistic.

It’s not that she doesn’t believe it, but she is afraid that the world won’t believe it.

In short, I just want Aunt Su to come up with a plan to uncover the true identity of the prince consort.

Lin Yanniang felt nervous when she heard this.

In fact, if you want to prove that those children are not the son-in-law's, in addition to the blood test which is said to be inaccurate, there is another way, that is to closely monitor the biological mothers of the children. If they are found to have contact with the adulterer, they can compare the appearance of the children with that of the adulterer to prove that they are not the son-in-law's children. But there are four children in total, how many people are needed to monitor them? Moreover, this method is not only labor-intensive, but also cannot be guaranteed to succeed. After all, not all children will look like their biological fathers.

So, the Fifth Princess wanted A Niang to find a way to prove it, and Lin Yanniang was really worried for A Niang.

Aunt Su smiled slowly.

"Your Highness, you were in the capital before, and the reason you didn't get pregnant for many years was because you were eager to have a child, so you were anxious and hurt your body. The more anxious you were, the less likely you were to get your wish... So you let go of your worries and came to Tongcheng to relax... But you didn't expect to have a loss of appetite and nausea. You asked the accompanying imperial physician to treat you, but it turned out that you had been pregnant for more than two months, but the month was too early before, so it was not diagnosed when you asked for your pulse."

After hearing this, Lin Yanniang understood.

My mother's method was to deliberately spread the rumor to provoke the Fifth Prince Consort!

The Fifth Prince Consort had been married to the princess for many years but had no children. Although he had four children born to his concubine, their mother was of low status and their identities were flawed. They could not be compared with the legitimate children of the princess who had royal blood.

So when the Fifth Prince Consort heard the news, he should have been overjoyed.

But what if he was surprised at first and then smiled falsely, or even his facial expression was a little distorted, as if he was cuckolded?

What does that mean?

This means that he had known for a long time that he was infertile, so if the princess was pregnant, he must have been cuckolded!

The fifth princess pondered silently for a moment and finally understood the intention of Aunt Su's method.

Although the prince consort is the prince consort, the princess still has the final say in the Fifth Princess's Mansion.

Therefore, there were people placed by the princess around the prince consort.

Isn't that how those freshly plucked hairs come from?

But if the prince consort's performance was acceptable, he would not be angry or shocked, but pleasantly surprised with tears in his eyes. The prince consort was still innocent and was looking forward to the arrival of the child just like her...but she was not actually pregnant, and she could still pretend at the beginning, but what would she do when she got further along?

"How difficult is this? If the prince consort has passed the test, then Your Highness can just pretend that she fell or got sick, and that the pregnancy had to end prematurely..."

But in fact, this possibility is very small.

In order to get an accurate check, Su Heiya went to two appraisal centers!

The fifth princess nodded silently.

After all, he is the superior. Even if he was angry and sad the moment before, he has completely understood everything now.

She would send someone to tell Prince Consort Xia the good news that she was pregnant!

Not only should we tell Prince Consort Xia the good news, but we can also tell all the Xia family members, so that they can experience the feeling of having their plans go wrong!

Lin Yanniang lived in Sujiazhuang with her two children. Although the weather was getting colder, the grass and trees were withering, and the scenery was no longer the same, life was very comfortable.

Even though the leaves on the big trees outside have all fallen, and the northwest wind blows on the hands and face, making it very cold, but living on the farm is more comfortable than living in Duke He's mansion.

In the Duke's Mansion, only in the courtyards of the old Duke and the old lady would the floor heating be lit after November.

The rest of the yards can only be heated by burning charcoal.

As the wife of the third room, she had never been short of charcoal, but the quality of the charcoal was of poor quality, it was not durable and produced a lot of smoke.

She is an adult, so it’s okay for her to smoke a little more, but Hu Ge’er is small and weak, how can he bear it?

Isn't it possible for her to just spend her own money to buy good charcoal for Hu Ge'er?

Before Huger was seven years old, in order to save charcoal, she let Shanjie move in and live with Huger.

But on the farm, the bedrooms in these newly built courtyards all have fireplaces. Once the fireplaces are lit, the room becomes so warm that sometimes you would sweat even if you were wearing only light clothes!

There is always hot water in the bathroom, so you can take a bath whenever you want, which is very comfortable.

If you want to see flowers, plants, vegetables and fruits, you can go to the greenhouse, where it is warm and sunny...

Lin Yanniang thought of what her mother had said. If the weather was cold enough to freeze, she would pour water on the open space at the entrance of the manor to make ice and build an ice rink. Then she would call on the skilled hands in the manor to make ice lanterns with ice and give the children in the manor a place to play with ice and snow...

Not to mention the children, even she couldn't help but feel moved after listening to it!

It’s a pity that no matter how good this farm is, she can’t live there until the New Year.

But the two children can stay, let them live on the farm for a while longer and enjoy the free and happy life.

Lin Yanniang was chatting with Aunt Su that day when she heard someone from the yard coming to report the news.

"Madam, Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess invites you over."

The mother and daughter looked at each other, and there was a hint of excitement in both of their eyes.

Considering the time, there will probably be a result!

This is the subsequent happiness that can be obtained from eating melons.

Lin Yanniang immediately helped Aunt Su walk towards the courtyard where the fifth princess lived.

Ah! I wonder if the Fifth Prince Consort has revealed his true colors!

When the mother and daughter walked into the guest house, they saw a maid walking out with a pile of broken porcelain in her hands.

It seems like the Fifth Prince Consort has revealed his true colors, right?

Otherwise, why would the fifth princess be so angry that she threw things?

The furnishings in the guest house were all brought by the Fifth Princess herself, and they were not originally owned by Aunt Su's farm, so even if the Fifth Princess wanted to throw them all away, Aunt Su would not suffer any loss.

The fifth princess was standing in the middle of the room, her eyebrows raised, her eyes wide open, one hand on her chest, her breathing still unstable, it was obvious that she had just lost her temper.

"I greet your Highness."

"This old lady has met His Highness."

The fifth princess waved her hand and asked everyone around her to leave.

She stared at Aunt Su, but Aunt Su was not afraid.

She has seen many young girls who have been heartbroken and unemployed.

Aunt Su looked at the Fifth Princess with a sincere expression.

"Your Highness, if you have any unpleasantness, please tell me. Maybe I can help you in some small way."

When the fifth princess heard this, she could no longer hold back her tears.

Aunt Su hurried over and patted the fifth princess on the back.

The fifth princess leaned on the old lady's shoulder and cried bitterly.

Lin Yanniang was standing aside, staring in amazement.

How could her timid mother be so bold?

However, when she saw Aunt Su raised her head slightly and blinked at her, she walked over hesitantly and tentatively tried to persuade the princess.

A quarter of an hour later, the mother and daughter finally ate the follow-up melon.

When the Fifth Princess had the news of her pregnancy passed on to the Fifth Prince Consort, the Fifth Prince Consort was not in the Princess's mansion, but with his favorite concubine.

The Fifth Prince Consort was stunned at the time and said in absolute terms that it was impossible!

After the person who came to report the news explained it again and again, the Fifth Prince Consort's surprise turned into joy.

But after the messenger left, the Fifth Prince Consort was alone in the room, but inexplicably, porcelain was broken all over the floor, and the Fifth Prince Consort's hand was scratched for no apparent reason...

So, after learning that his wife, who is of noble status, is finally pregnant after years of infertility, any normal man without any ulterior motives would not be so abnormal, unless he knows for sure that he cannot have children at all!

He can't have children, but his wife is pregnant. Doesn't this make him a cuckold?

How could the Fifth Princess not understand by now?

It was clearly the Fifth Prince Consort's own fault, but he wanted to put all the blame on her!

In the ten years since her marriage, she had taken countless bitter medicines, copied countless scriptures, worshipped countless gods and Buddhas, listened to countless rumors, and felt all kinds of strange looks!

Now let her know that it was not her fault, but that man's!

Ten years! She had wasted a whole ten years!

If the prince consort was someone else, her own children would have been able to run around and been sent to school!

Now this useless and sinister villain wants to deceive him all his life, make her recognize those ugly kids as her own children, and give him a title?

The fifth princess' eyes were swollen from crying.

The mother and daughter comforted the fifth princess.

Aunt Su advised, "If it were an ordinary noble lady, it would be very difficult to change a husband, but you are of noble status and have no children. If you want to change a prince consort, then that's what you want. Besides, you are still young now."

The fifth princess is only twenty-eight years old now.

Nowadays, there are many women who get married for the first time in their thirties.

Don’t they still give birth to children?

In ancient times, women had no status. If their natal families were not supportive, they could only accept their bad luck when encountering such things. But how could we expect a favored princess like the Fifth Princess to silently suffer the loss and obey her mother's rules? Why not let her exercise her royal power first!

Ever since the Fifth Princess learned about the Fifth Prince Consort's behavior, she could only talk about it with two or three of her trusted people.

But due to their limited status, these two or three people dared not say it out loud even if they thought the same as Aunt Su!

After all, before the divorce, the Fifth Prince Consort was nominally their master!

What if the fifth princess refuses to divorce? Then, won’t they be the ones who will be in trouble?

As for Aunt Su, she has already done paternity tests for the Fifth Prince Consort and those concubines. Is she still afraid to say a few more words?

Sure enough, after hearing this, the fifth princess' mood improved a lot.
