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

Chapter 168 The Prince Consort will have to work hard

The Fifth Prince Consort was stunned as if he had heard something horrible.

"What? What do you mean by borrowing a womb? How can a lowly concubine like her, Chu, be worthy of living in the princess's bedroom?"

The Fifth Princess looked at him with a half-smile, "How could you forget, Prince Consort? Didn't many people kindly remind us earlier that we are getting old and should plan for the future as soon as possible?"

"I have just figured it out. I want to personally watch my children being born. What's wrong with that? Although Chu is a lowly concubine, I will honor her for once because she is going to bear my children. What's wrong with that? It's just that..."

The fifth princess looked at him with a smile, "Your Highness will have to work hard these days..."

The Fifth Prince Consort's expression changed instantly.

It turns out that the Fifth Princess actually intended to use him as a tool!

He was also asked to come into Xia's room just to sow seeds!

"No, that won't work!"

The fifth princess was full of surprise.

"Why not? Does the Prince Consort want someone else to enter Chu's room?"

The fifth princess' originally smiling expression suddenly turned cold.

"Although Chu is a lowly concubine, as you said before, she is also the daughter of an honest family. What does your husband mean by this?"

The Fifth Prince Consort's eyes widened, but he couldn't say what was in his mind.

Cold sweat has quietly wet my clothes.

Although the Fifth Princess at this time was still beautiful and dignified, she looked like a Rakshasa from the underworld, who came to take his life.

No one knew how long it had been before the Fifth Prince Consort finally opened his mouth.

"What the princess said is..."

"Since the Prince Consort also thinks that my idea is good, then let's go to Chu's room!"

The fifth princess laughed again, "I'm still waiting to hold the baby!"

The Fifth Prince Consort didn't know what he said in reply. He stepped over the threshold, tripped, and almost fell.

"Be careful, Prince Consort! Come, come, send Prince Consort to Chu's place quickly!"

Seven or eight hands came to support him at the same time. Even though he didn't want to go to the Chu family, he was half supported and half pushed over.

It would have been fine if they had just sent him there, but as soon as they pushed him into the door, the door was locked, and the doors and windows were nailed shut from outside...

Chu was also in shock in the room. After seeing that it was indeed the prince consort who came in, she cried out with a sad face, "Master?"

If he was in his private residence where he kept his beautiful mistress, and heard Chu calling him, he would definitely enjoy it very much in his heart.

He still has to be humble and submissive to the princess. How can it be as happy as being with her gentle and understanding words here?

But when he heard Chu's voice again, he felt like it was an evil curse that was taking his life.

Chu was still unaware and instead came up to him, trying to hook her hands around his waist.

"Get off!"

The Fifth Prince Consort pushed Chu away in disgust.

He is not a tool, why should he be used like this!

Besides, doesn’t he know what the situation is with the fourth child born to Chu?

He won't touch the Chu family. Does that mean the Fifth Princess can stop him from leaving the house?

In several guest rooms of the princess's mansion, several children of different ages and their wet nurses had been invited out by the servants and maids of the princess's mansion.

"What are you doing? I want to see my fifth uncle!"

"I'm going to complain to Aunt Five and have all of you kicked out!"

"This is a reward from Aunt Princess, why can't I take it?"

"Wow, wow, I want to go home! I don't want to be the princess's son here anymore!"

After a lot of chaos, these people were asked to leave the princess's mansion.

These nephews and nieces with the surname Xia originally wanted to find a way to enter the princess's mansion, thinking that what if the princess looked down on those concubines' sons and instead liked them?

Once you move into the mansion, how is the food, clothing, housing and entertainment not better than at home?

From time to time, they would take a fancy to some good thing in the mansion and tell the princess's aunt about it. Maybe the princess would be happy and give it to them. They would also secretly take a few small ornaments from the guest house where they lived and say that they were broken. No servants dared to point it out...

It’s a pity that besides them, there are also four concubines in the mansion!

Humph, what the hell is a concubine?

I don't even know what my mother's background is. She followed my fifth uncle without knowing why. I don't know if the child she gave birth to is my fifth uncle's child or not. Yet, she dared to come into the princess's mansion and act wild! And she even acted like a young master!

I bother!

Would the princess aunt like them?

But what is happening now?

Why are those of them with the serious surname Xia being driven away, while those little bastards are allowed to stay?

The little bastards who are being missed are not happy at this moment.

"What kind of rubbish is this? It's for servants! I want lamb chops! And duck breast with cherries!"

"Yesterday I was able to play in the garden, but today I can't! You guys are ignoring me, aren't you afraid that I will complain to my father?"

"Wuwuwu, Daddy, Mommy!"

No matter which child had lived a life of luxury before, and had the freedom to play in the mansion’s garden, it would be strange if he could remain emotionally stable if his allowance is suddenly reduced and he is not allowed to leave his own courtyard!

The four little guys have already made up their minds that once they see their father, they will complain to him severely!

They didn't know that their own father was also feeling very uneasy at this moment.

The door was locked, and he and Chu were staring at each other.

Chu was also a little puzzled, "Master, since the princess wants to... why not..."

She just didn't understand. Wasn't the prince consort usually very energetic?

Why are you being so shy when it comes to getting down to business?

Look at him like that, with his hands clasped across his chest, as if she, a weak woman, wanted to do something to him!

The Fifth Prince Consort’s face was as dark as Xuantan.

"What's the point of being forced into this?"

In fact, he was secretly complaining in his heart.

He and the princess had not been pregnant for many years, so he naturally did not think it was his own problem. He was inevitably resentful of the princess, so he secretly took a concubine outside.

But the concubine had a thin waist and a big butt, which was obviously a good sign for a boy. How come he had spent half a year trying but still couldn't get pregnant?

He was shocked by his own thoughts at the time.

In order to prove that he was capable, he took two concubines.

But after half a year, there were still no flowers or fruits.

At this point, he finally understood.

It's really his own fault!

He couldn't help but feel fortunate that the princess was jealous and did not arrange any concubines for him, so his problem was not exposed.

Otherwise, considering the Fifth Princess's favor, wouldn't she have replaced him long ago?

Although his family is noble, there are many children, and he is the fifth.

After the weddings of his older brothers and sisters were arranged, there was not much money and property left for him, the fifth child.

It was only after he became a royal consort that he was able to live a carefree life without having to worry about money. It was difficult to go from extravagant to frugal, and if he were asked to go back to his previous life of hardship, how could he bear it!

The Fifth Prince Consort's face became uglier the more he thought about it. He pushed Chu away and started to break down the door.

"Open the door! I have something important to do. Please get out first!"

The person guarding outside responded immediately.

"My Lord, the princess has ordered that there are three types of unfilial behavior, and the worst is to have no offspring. For the sake of the princess's heir, please work harder! As long as Chu is pregnant, even if you never enter this room again, that's fine."

The Fifth Prince Consort felt even more depressed.

After the fifth princess came back from Tongcheng, she didn't know what had happened to her, and she actually came up with such a vicious idea!

If he could make Chu pregnant, he would have had countless children. Why would he have to wait until now?

This is how to do?

Could it be that the princess knew that he could not have children?

He thought gloomily, who among the people around him could know his secret and tell it to the princess?

The two personal attendants around him did know something, but their entire family's lives were in his hands, so how dare they betray him?

Could it be...

He glared at Chu.

Although Chu didn't know about his illness, she knew that the fourth child was not her biological son!

If Chu was smarter, he could have figured out his secret with a little deduction...

"Is it you?" The Fifth Prince Consort suddenly jumped up and grabbed Chu's neck.

"Ahem, ahem, Master, what are you talking about? I don't know anything!"

Where is the Chu family now, with its previous complacency and wild dreams?

Looking at this weird situation, she should be thankful that she was able to keep her life!

"You, what did the princess say to you? Tell the truth! If you lie, I will kill you!"

Looking at the prince consort's bulging eyes full of bloodshot, his nose twitching, and his veins exposed, there was no trace of his usual gentle and affectionate look. Wouldn't Chu be scared out of her wits?

"Nununun said nothing. Princess, the princess asked me if I knew the secret of the Prince Consort. I said, I said, I don't know..."

Prince Consort Xia suddenly loosened his grip and let Chu fall to the ground.

Prince Consort Xia also sat down on the ground, without moving, his expression uncertain.

No one knew how much time had passed before Prince Consort Xia walked to the door again and started knocking on it.

"I want to see the princess. I have something important to say to her!"

Half an hour later, Prince Consort Xia finally met the Fifth Princess.

The conversation between the two people lasted less than a quarter of an hour.

But this couple, who had been married for ten years, reached a consensus on divorce.

Prince Consort Xia, along with his four concubines and Chu, left the Fifth Princess's Mansion together.

The Fifth Princess's Mansion, which was originally bustling with chaos and noise all day long in several courtyards, has suddenly become quiet.

Butler Liu, who had previously replaced Butler Dong, was dismissed from his post by the Fifth Princess and sent to farm on the Fifth Princess's farm in the suburbs.

Naturally, it took less than two days for the unexpected events in the Fifth Princess's Mansion to spread to all the powerful families in the capital.

He Laosan hurried to Weiruiyuan.

"Did you know that the Fifth Princess and the Fifth Prince Consort are going to divorce?"

The last time the fifth princess was going to Tongcheng and agreed to bring his wife Lin Yanniang with her, he realized that this was a great opportunity for advancement. Unfortunately, Aunt Rou had something to do and he was unable to go. So when he heard about this big event, he hurried to Lin Yanniang to inquire about it.

After all, although he had some affection in front of the Fifth Prince Consort, the Fifth Prince Consort had now moved out of the Fifth Princess's Mansion and returned to Duke Xia's Mansion, living in seclusion and no one could see him. So couldn't he only look for Lin Yanniang?

"The Fifth Princess wants to divorce?"

Lin Yanniang pretended to be surprised.

In fact, at the farm, her mother told her that the four children were not the prince consort's children, and that the prince consort might have a health problem. She guessed that the fifth princess would most likely get a divorce.

This prince consort is really too cunning!

If the prince consort had not lied at the beginning, but had gone with the princess to seek medical treatment, then even if the disease could not be cured in the end, perhaps the princess and he had a deep love for each other, and at most they could have adopted two good children, and they could still be together for the rest of their lives.

But he, on the other hand, considered having a concubine as disloyalty and being cuckolded as dishonesty, and he even wanted to turn the tables and put all the blame on the princess, and force the princess to recognize those children who were conceived out of order. Didn't this touch the Fifth Princess's sore spot?

In fact, although the Fifth Princess was favored, she was considered very sensible and intelligent among the princesses and princes. She did not use her power to bully her husband's family and the prince consort. She was also good to the servants in the mansion and the tenants on the imperial farm. The servants were also very low-key when they acted outside.

Compared with the famous Princess Huyang in the royal family, she can truly be called wise!

Ah, speaking of which, Princess Huyang’s second husband’s family also had the surname Xia!

Seeing Lin Yanniang's surprise, He Laosan was a little dissatisfied.

"You have been with the princess for more than a month, how come you don't even know this? Previously you always used the excuse of taking care of your son, but now your son and daughter are with your mother-in-law, and you don't take care of the family. You have nothing to do all day. How come you don't know how to socialize?"

Lin Yanniang secretly curled her lips in her heart.

This He Laosan is not good at doing real work and just keeps busy doing nothing.

The fifth princess wants to divorce, what does it have to do with him?

But for this kind of fool, we should still give him some face.

"I just came back from my hometown, and I haven't packed my luggage yet... Since the Third Master mentioned it, I will send someone to the Princess's Mansion to deliver a letter and see if the Princess is willing to see me."

After hearing this, He Laosan nodded in satisfaction.

"That's the right way to do it! The one who is close to the water will naturally get the moon first. The Fifth Princess and her husband are at odds with each other right now. If someone can mediate and make the Fifth Princess change her mind, then naturally they can do the Fifth Prince Consort a favor!"

The more he thought about it, the more beautiful it seemed. He couldn't help but tell Lin Yanniang that someone got a chance to become a royal consort and got a position in one of the six ministries. Although he was just a clerk, he had real power and was very lucrative...

Lin Yanniang wanted to close her ears after hearing this. Later, Aunt Rou came to her rescue. She made an excuse and asked the maid to call He Sanlang to her yard. Lin Yanniang quickly asked someone to close the gate and buried her head in writing the visiting card.

Lin Yanniang was writing a visiting card, but the Fifth Princess was not idle either.

She was in the reception room, receiving the women from the Xia family.

Among these female relatives, there are aunts, sisters-in-law, and elder and younger sisters-in-law.

Of course, these people are all married.

In the past, when the fifth princess had no children and was unwilling to allow a concubine to marry into the house, these people often came to her house to make trouble.
