A retired aunt traveled through time and space, and her daughter became rich!

The fifth princess left in a hurry and left Tongcheng on the third day.

Lin Yanniang thought for a long time and followed the fifth princess back to the capital.

After all, as long as she didn't want to divorce, she had to return to the Heguo Mansion in the capital and take up the position of the not-so-good third wife.

But he left both children behind.

Given the conditions in Sujiazhuang and her mother's ability, the children can actually grow up better.

Following the team from the princess's mansion back to the capital, Lin Yanniang bid farewell to the fifth princess and returned to Duke He's mansion.

As soon as she returned to the mansion, Lin Yanniang brought a set of local gifts purchased throughout the city and went to pay her respects to the old Duke's wife.

The old Duke's wife is over sixty years old this year. She looks frail and a little fat. The beauty she had in her youth is gone. Her triangular eyes with droopy eyelids look as if she will fall asleep at any time.

Seeing the third son's wife returning home from the capital, the old lady of the Duke's wife became more and more sleepy. She only said a few polite words slowly, such as "Is your mother healthy?", "How is the weather in Tongcheng?", "Did the two children stay behind?", "Did they cause any trouble to the princess by following the princess's team back and forth?"

In short, the main point is just to go through the motions. No matter what the answer is, just keep asking...

Lin Yanniang was also quite tactful. She just waited for the old Duke's wife to speak before she could leave.

But unexpectedly, I suddenly heard the old lady ask that question again.

"I heard that the fifth princess is pregnant?"

The fifth princess had not been pregnant for many years, so she had no choice but to take her husband's concubine's son and her husband's nephew into the house, preparing to choose one as her own legitimate son so that he could get the title that a princess's son deserved in the future.

But when the Fifth Princess went to Tongcheng, she sent back a message saying that she was pregnant. The Fifth Prince Consort was so happy that he got drunk and even sprained his ankle. He had to invite an orthopedic doctor to treat his foot... Didn't everyone know about it?

So, is there any amazing doctor in Tongcheng?

After all, the Fifth Princess is His Majesty's favorite princess, and the powerful doctors in the palace have naturally treated the Fifth Princess countless times.

Is this doctor in Tongcheng better than the imperial physician in the palace?

But that doesn't make sense. The princess naturally became pregnant when she was in the capital. So is it so miraculous that she became pregnant before she even arrived in Tongcheng, just because she had the idea?

Hasn't this rumor been circulating in the capital for a long time?

Even the old lady of the Duke, who had long since stopped caring about foreign affairs, had to perk up and ask a question.

Lin Yanniang's heart trembled.

But he answered vaguely, "When I was in Tongcheng, I did hear the princess' aunt talk about it..."

As for whether it was still there, that was not something she should know.

After all, the fact that the princess was pregnant was originally meant to confuse the Fifth Prince Consort, and it was fake. I was afraid that once she arrived in the capital, the princess would declare at any time that it was just a misdiagnosis by the doctor.

But these things can only be told to the outside world by the princess herself. She is just a follower, how dare she talk nonsense?

At this time, the fifth princess, who had returned to the princess's mansion, was lazily leaning on her own soft couch, stretching out one hand and asking the maids to apply nail polish for her.

"Where's the consort?"

"Your Highness, the Prince Consort has not been resting in the mansion recently. I think he is still with Consort Chu. The housekeeper has sent someone to inform the Prince Consort that the princess is back."

There was a half-smile on the fifth princess' face.

"Change your clothes for me. I need to go into the palace!"

When the fifth princess changed into her palace dress and got on the carriage to set off, she happened to see a sedan chair swaying and stopping at the door of the princess's mansion.

The fifth princess glanced around as if she saw nothing.

When the carriage drove away from the door, a figure jumped out of the sedan chair and chased her in the direction.

"Princess, Prince Consort, he is chasing after the car..."

Hearing the maid's voice, the fifth princess closed her eyes slightly.

As if he heard nothing.

The maid had no choice but to shut up.

Half a day later, when the fifth princess returned from the palace, she was accompanied by four slender maids.

These four maids stood like pine trees, sat like bells, moved with steady feet and calm expressions. They only served the fifth princess, but did not do anything extra.

The aunts and maids around the fifth princess couldn't help but guess the identities of these four people in their hearts.

When the Fifth Princess sat on the couch in front of the window and drank hot tea again, her subordinates had already brought a young and beautiful woman to her.

This woman was Chu, one of the five princes-in-law's concubines, and also the mother of the fourth of the four children in the mansion.

Chu's little face was so pitiful, her figure was graceful, and she knelt on the ground aggrieved, her beautiful eyes filled with tears, and her voice trembling.

"Slave, slave, greet your highness."

The fifth princess leisurely took two more sips of tea.

Although Chu looks pitiful, she is not a simple person.

It is said that she was performing on the street and was molested by a bully. The Fifth Prince Consort happened to pass by and rescued Chu.

After that, Chu pledged herself to him.

She knew that her status was low and she did not dare to compete with the princess. She only wanted to be a slave by the side of her husband and be with him for the rest of his life, and she would be satisfied with that.

And now, the fourth child was born?

Two years ago, the Fifth Prince Consort took advantage of the Fifth Princess's birthday party when she was in high spirits and coaxed her into agreeing to bring the concubines' children into the mansion to be raised, to prevent those concubines' mothers from hindering the children's future. Besides, bringing all the children over would also allow the princess to observe them and see which one she liked more. If there was one that she liked, she could raise it by her side, just like raising a kitten or a puppy, which would be fun.

As soon as the fifth princess agreed, the four concubines came in one after another.

The eldest, second and third sons naturally also have biological mothers, but compared with Chu, those three are much more honest.

Only Mrs. Chu was sick and insomniac. She said that she was heartbroken after losing her child and was about to die...

The Fifth Princess thought about it and then called the Fifth Prince Consort to discuss with him to send the youngest son, the Fourth, out of the house so that the mother and son could be reunited.

The Fifth Prince Consort did not send the Fourth Prince away after all, allowing him to reunite with Chu.

From this, we can see that if the Fifth Princess had not been so stubborn and the more she was forced to drink water, the more she would refuse to do it, Chu might have really relied on her good abilities to become a mother of her son and enter the princess's mansion!

"I don't know. I don't know if your Highness has summoned me here to tell you something. I will definitely serve the princess."

Chu is also very smart.

They became concubines of the prince consort, all thanks to the Fifth Princess being too lazy to argue with them.

If the five princesses get serious, they might be in danger of losing their lives.

Therefore, even though she had just gotten up today and was sitting in front of the dressing table combing her hair, a group of people rushed in aggressively, robbed her and left.

If she hadn't entered the princess's mansion in the end, she would have thought that a group of bandits had suddenly arrived in the capital!

Therefore, when facing the fifth princess, she naturally did not dare to have any ulterior motives.

Then the fifth princess laughed.

"You are Xiao Si's biological mother. Ever since Xiao Si entered the princess's mansion, I heard that you have lost your appetite and have been crying all day and night... At that time, the prince consort came to plead for mercy, asking me to show mercy and let you into the mansion, even if you can be a maid."

"Look at you people, you always want to be treated like slaves... If that's the case, I'll give you a chance."

Chu was overjoyed, huh?

Is she going to be recognized by the princess and enter the princess's mansion?

Then from now on, won't she be able to get close to Xiao Si?

"If the princess doesn't abandon me, I am willing to be her slave and will be loyal to her!"

Chu fell to his knees, and after expressing his loyalty, his heartbeat and breathing quickened.

Will the princess really believe her?

No pain No gain.

Although she is now a humble servant, her son is already five or six years old. As long as she can hold on for another ten years or so, when her son becomes the heir to the princess's mansion, then, as his biological mother, who will dare to look down on her?

What's more, it doesn't necessarily mean we have to wait for ten years, right?

The fifth princess smiled slightly, but the smile did not reach her eyes, revealing a hint of coldness.

"Well, since you are so loyal to me, how about you tell me the secret that Prince Consort has been hiding from me?"

Chu's body shuddered. She had originally raised her head, but now she lay down again.

"Your Highness, the Prince Consort, he, he has no secrets...ah, no, no, I mean, I don't know if the Prince Consort has any secrets."

The Fifth Princess's gaze fell on Chu's face, as if a small knife was scraping across it.

"Since you said so, then please do an experiment for me!"

The word "experiment" was mentioned by Old Lady Su and the Fifth Princess.

This man and this woman are always infertile. Either the man is sick or the woman is sick.

If you want to prove that it is not you who is sick but the other person, and no one is willing to admit that it is your disease, then isn't the only option left to do an experiment?

Of course, she could also find a male lover and try it herself, just like when she sent someone to give it to the prince consort. When she really got pregnant, wouldn't it be obvious?

But she has proved herself, so how can she prove the other person?

Besides, she is the princess of Wei. Why should she just find a male lover to prove herself?

Therefore, if the experiment is to be carried out, the prince consort should do it, not her!

The Fifth Princess waved her hand and said, "Come here, prepare a quiet room for Chu in my bedroom. Before Chu is pregnant with my adopted son, she is absolutely not allowed to leave the room!"

Chu was struck by a bolt from the blue. She looked up in horror and opened her mouth to beg for mercy. However, before she could utter a word, the old nanny next to her covered her mouth and dragged her away.

Chu was covered with her mouth and dragged into the yard, where she happened to meet the Fifth Prince Consort who was walking hurriedly.

"What are you doing? Let Chu go!"

"My dear Prince Consort, this is what the princess wants! Her Highness ordered that Chu be placed in Chunxiao Palace."

When the Fifth Prince Consort heard this, he was also stunned.

No, the princess sent people to capture Chu from outside, just to let Chu live in her own bedroom?

Could it be that the princess was pregnant and couldn't sleep with him, so she brought Chu over?

If that's the case, then...

Ah! No, that's not right!

The point is not that the princess is pregnant, but that this pregnancy is, obviously, wrong...

While he was stunned, Chu had been dragged away by those people.

He looked back a few times, then turned and hurried towards the small flower hall.

"Your Highness! Have a nice trip!"

"Before, when His Highness was away, I felt unhappy seeing the empty house, so I just lived outside... Now, I heard that the princess is back, so I hurried back!"

"I saw Chu just now? But did Chu displease the princess? She is just a country woman, why would the princess care about her? Let me teach her a lesson and tell her to behave herself."

So angry!

It was obvious that the princess was jealous and fickle, but because she was a princess, he had to endure the cheating on him and her harsh treatment of his beloved concubine!

I have to rush to Xiaoyi to comfort and plead for mercy.

The fifth princess raised the corners of her lips slightly, her smile was light, and her voice was soft and gentle.

"What are you talking about, Prince Consort? This Xia is Xiao Si's biological mother. Among all the children in the mansion, I like Xiao Si the most. How could I treat his biological mother badly? It's just..."

When the Fifth Prince Consort heard the above words, he was a little surprised, but then he felt relieved.

As long as you don’t want to kill Xia, it’s fine.

Besides, wasn't the princess pregnant? Why would she specifically mention that she loved Xiao Si the most?

"Just what?"

The Fifth Princess smiled and said, "It's just that when the Fourth Child came into the mansion, he was already three years old. I heard people say that if you don't take a child to your side and raise him from birth, you can't raise him well. So, I want a child who can be taken to my side right after birth and be my child."

The Fifth Prince Consort was completely stunned.

"Isn't the princess pregnant?"

Although he gnashed his teeth in hatred whenever he mentioned it, even if the Fifth Princess had an adulterer and she got pregnant, it would naturally be his fault. Why would he set his sights on the newborn child?

The Fifth Princess unconsciously put one hand on her belly, her face full of regret, "Alas, I ate some local food in Tongcheng before, the medicinal properties were weird, and I got pregnant. When I returned to the capital, I realized that I had made a fool of myself!"

"I guess it's my destiny to have no biological children!"

The Fifth Prince Consort straightened his back a little after listening to this.

With a smile on his face, he consoled her, "Hey, how could this happen? Princess, don't worry too much. Having children is really hard work. Every time you give birth, it's like going through the gates of hell. I don't want to let you be like this."

"The princess likes younger ones. If she has a child in the future, she can just bring him in to raise him..."

Hey, you should have said it earlier!

If I had said it earlier, I would have just brought two or three together!

The Fifth Princess wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, raised her head, looked at the Fifth Prince Consort, and suddenly smiled.

"I knew the prince consort would agree. That's why I brought Xia in and placed her with me. I fed her well and raised her. When Xia got pregnant, I brought her to my place to raise her. Don't worry, I borrowed her womb, so I won't treat her badly!"
