I took over after the heroine of the abusive novel ran away
Chapter 20: Substitute Daughter (17)
Perhaps he was satisfied with the care given by the two concubines in the backyard during this period, so after Xiao Yuchen recovered from his injury, he went to Taozhi's place when he went to the backyard for the first time.
Su Lingyu didn't get the news until the next day.
"Madam, I heard that the prince went to Aunt Tao's room yesterday, but I don't know what happened. In the middle of the night, the prince left in a hurry. I heard that he didn't look very well."
While Xing'er was helping Su Lingyu to braid her hair, she was telling her the news she had gotten in the morning.
Even if the master did not give any orders, they would always pay attention to any movement in the backyard.
Su Lingyu was playing with a hairpin in her hand, and she raised her eyelids slightly when she heard the words.
"is it?"
After such a long time, it seems that Xiao Yuchen finally found out. Tsk! I don't know how he feels now!
Xing Er carefully observed Su Lingyu's expression and saw that she didn't seem to care much, so she didn't say anything more about Xiao Yuchen.
She had noticed during this period of time that the Crown Prince's wife seemed to have grown cold towards him and no longer cared about him as much as before.
Even every time the prince came, she would deliberately push him away.
In fact, Xing'er didn't think highly of the Crown Prince's wife's behavior. The Minister obviously didn't value her as a daughter, and the Crown Prince's wife had no family to rely on.
If I don’t hold on to the prince’s heart, how will I live in the future?
But she was just a maid and it was hard to say much.
Since this incident, Xiao Yuchen never entered the backyard again.
Taozhi, who was originally eager to win favor, instantly became obedient and did not talk back even when Liu'er made explicit or covert sarcasm about her.
It would be fine if it happened once, but it happened twice, and coupled with the prince's attitude, Taozhi vaguely realized that something was wrong.
Thinking of that possibility, Taozhi felt desperate. She never imagined that she would jump into a fire pit. If she had known earlier... if she had known earlier... she would never have been so stupid as to seduce Xiao Yuchen.
Now, this life has come to an end, and there will never be a chance for recovery.
Besides, this matter was shameful after all. No matter what the reason was, she dared not tell anyone and could only keep this secret in her stomach.
Even more desperate than Taozhi is Xiao Yuchen. In the past, because of Su Tingxue, he had no other lover around him, and even refused the concubine arranged by his mother.
Although he has no experience, this kind of thing is instinctive for men. Haven't you seen a pig run before eating pork?
He worked in the Jinwu Guard, which was full of men. It was inevitable that men would talk about such topics, so of course he knew about such things.
Xiao Yuchen never thought of the possibility that he couldn't do it.
At first he thought it might be an accident, so he secretly went to the brothel to test it out. The result he got in the end shocked him greatly.
Three months later, Su Lingyu received another invitation from Su Tingxue, this time asking her to go to the temple to burn incense together.
Su Lingyu took the post to the front yard to find Xiao Yuchen and told him about it.
Since Su Tingxue wanted to invite her and Xiao Yuchen to go together, she had to inform him of course.
After all, the next step is also an important plot node.
Xiao Yuchen has not had a good time recently because he was exhausted by that incident and he looked much thinner and more haggard.
After hearing Su Lingyu's explanation of her purpose, Xiao Yuchen's handsome face twitched and his expression became gloomy for a moment.
Su Lingyu didn't show it on her face, but she was actually looking forward to the show.
There was no other reason. The temple that Su Tingxue had made the appointment to meet was a famous temple for praying for children, and this completely hit Xiao Yuchen's sore spot.
In fact, Su Tingxue had some considerations when asking Su Lingyu to go there. Su Tingxue had been married to the King of Qin for a year and a half, but she had not yet become pregnant. Concubine Sheng in the palace began to be dissatisfied with Su Tingxue because of the child.
In addition, the King of Qin has a concubine whose family background is not inferior to hers, so Su Tingxue is under great pressure in terms of having offspring.
The King of Qin treats her well now, but if she doesn't have children, she can't guarantee what will happen in the future.
This time I went to the temple to pray for a child, and also to contact Xiao Yuchen.
Su Lingyu originally thought that Xiao Yuchen would refuse, but unexpectedly he struggled for a long time and finally nodded.
Su Lingyu sighed again, is this the power of white moonlight?
But since he wanted to seek abuse, Su Lingyu naturally had no reason to stop him.
In the original plot, Xiao Yuchen felt very guilty for pushing Su Lingyu to block the knife for Su Tingxue, causing Su Lingyu to be seriously injured.
So after Su Lingyu recovered from her injury, he often went back to Su Lingyu's yard. Because of this feeling of guilt, their relationship seemed to have improved a lot on the surface.
But at this time, Su Tingxue, under the guise of thanking Su Lingyu, asked Su Lingyu to go to the temple together to pray for a child.
Then in the temple, Qin Wang's concubine Yuntang sent assassins to kidnap Su Tingxue. Because of Xiao Yuchen's misleading, Su Lingyu was kidnapped instead of Su Tingxue.
Su Lingyu felt that Su Tingxue was the one with the aura of a heroine, otherwise why was she able to escape danger every time, while Su Lingyu was so unlucky that innocent people were harmed every time. Of course, some of this was also due to Xiao Yuchen's contribution.
Qiyun Temple is a famous temple for praying for children in the capital, and is quite popular among the noble ladies in the capital. Many ladies come and go in the temple, but Su Tingxue has a high status and has priority privileges, so they didn't have to wait long.
Su Lingyu followed Su Tingxue and bowed in a pretentious manner.
After the worship, Su Tingxue suggested going to the back mountain to see the flowers.
When she was halfway there, Su Lingyu was accidentally bumped into by a little monk and got splashed with water.
Su Tingxue pretended to scold the young monk, and then let him go out of kindness.
Then he smiled and said to Su Lingyu, "Sister, autumn is getting colder, don't catch a cold. Fortunately, I brought some clothes with me, go change!"
Su Lingyu knew that Su Tingxue had deliberately sent her away because she wanted to talk to Xiao Yuchen alone about something.
Su Lingyu thought about it and did not refuse. She followed her maid's instructions to change clothes.
Su Tingxue was well prepared and the clothes she brought were of similar color to what she was wearing. Su Lingyu and Su Tingxue looked very similar, and after changing their clothes, they looked even more alike. This is why the kidnappers mistook her for the wrong person.
After Su Lingyu changed her clothes and had afternoon tea, Su Tingxue and Xiao Yuchen finally reached an agreement and returned to the Zen room.
Su Lingyu looked at the expressions of the two people. Xiao Yuchen had a blank expression on his face and she couldn't guess what he was thinking for a moment. However, Su Tingxue seemed to be in a good mood.
"It's getting late, Sixth Sister, Prince, let's go back!"
Xiao Yuchen and Su Lingyu rode in the carriage together this time. When the two of them got on the carriage, a maidservant beside Su Tingxue suddenly came over to invite Su Lingyu, "Madam, the princess said she wanted to reminisce with you and invite you to ride with her."
"I understand!" Su Lingyu nodded without changing her expression. She had known this would happen.
It was because Su Tingxue and Su Lingyu were in the same carriage, when the assassins abducted the two, they knew that their goal was to kidnap the Princess of Qin. The bitch Xiao Yuchen deliberately shouted "Princess" to Su Lingyu, which misled the kidnappers.
Sometimes Su Lingyu really suspected that Su Tingxue knew that Concubine Yun had sent people to kidnap her, so she deliberately designed this scene, because it was just too coincidental, whether it was changing clothes or inviting her to ride together.
Unfortunately, the system told her that everything was just a coincidence and it was arranged by the world consciousness.
