The mistress is reborn, no one who bullies me can escape

Tsing Yi is known for being quick and efficient.

In the afternoon of the same day, she brought the latest news she had obtained.

Qingyi bowed slightly and reported to Xue Jinhua respectfully, "Crown Princess, I have found out the truth about the matter of the Crown Prince's Consort in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion."

"It is just as you expected. It was when the Crown Princess was facing a life-or-death crisis and was about to be killed that she was found to be pregnant."

"Moreover, according to our investigation, the time when the Crown Prince's wife and the Crown Prince had sex coincided with this time, so everyone in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion had no doubts about the child's origins."

Even Qingyi, who was always smart and clever, couldn't help but sigh: "In my opinion, the fetus in Zhao Yuting's belly is very likely the prince's flesh and blood."

However, only Xue Jinhua knew very well in her heart that the child was definitely not from the bloodline of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion.

At first, Xue Jinhua had guessed that the reason why Zhao Yuting dared to spread such rumors was simply to calm the rage of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

Maybe she was secretly planning to find a baby to impersonate her.

But as the situation becomes clearer, it now seems that this possibility is very slim.

After all, it is certain that Zhao Yuting is pregnant, but whose child is this?

Xue Jinhua's curiosity grew stronger and stronger. She stared at Qing Yi and asked impatiently, "Tell me quickly, besides this, what other important things did you find out?"

Qingyi frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said: "There are indeed no more special discoveries at present...but..."

Seeing Qing Yi's hesitation in speaking, Xue Jinhua hurriedly urged, "Don't keep us in suspense. What is it?"

Qing Yi took a deep breath and then answered carefully, "I heard that after the Crown Prince's Concubine gave birth, the son of the Censor visited her many times."

Hearing this, Xue Jinhua's eyes suddenly flashed with surprise, and then she asked in confusion: "This is really strange! What is the connection between the Crown Prince's wife giving birth to a child and the son of the censor? Why does he go there so frequently?"

Xue Jinhua had also heard of the son of this censor.

It is said that this person was a scholar and performed well in the imperial examination, winning the title of third place. Later, he got a job of not too big or too small in the Hanlin Academy.

He had once personally gone to the Zhao family to propose marriage, but at that time Zhao Yuting was completely focused on marrying into the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, so this marriage ultimately failed.

To be fair, although the Censor is the Emperor's confidant, he is, after all, just a third-rank official.

Even if they have some power, compared with a prestigious aristocratic family like the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, the difference is simply worlds and completely different.

Qingyi stood there with a bewildered look on her face, not yet fully understanding what was happening, but a clearer picture gradually emerged in Xue Jinhua's mind.

After a brief thought, she said, "How about this? Find a suitable time and find a way to bring the censor's son here. I need to ask him some questions in person."

Qing Yi quickly nodded and replied, "Yes!"

After receiving the order, he took action quickly.

However, just when she had brought the man into the Prince's Mansion, Zhao Yuting unexpectedly arrived.

At this moment, Qing Yi was carrying the sack containing the son of the censor, and looked at Xue Jinhua at a loss, and asked softly, "Crown Princess, what should we do next?"

Xue Jinhua narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze fell on the constantly squirming sack, and various thoughts flashed through her mind rapidly.

After a moment, she raised the corner of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and replied: "Since Zhao Yuting is Zhou Niangdi's sister-in-law, why not let Zhou Niangdi go to receive her."

After saying that, Xue Jinhua shifted her gaze to the sack again, and saw the person inside struggling hard. She could also vaguely hear unclear and hesitant sounds coming from inside.

Seeing this, Xue Jinhua couldn't help but frown subconsciously.

Seeing this, Qingyi at the side showed an embarrassed look on her face, and quickly explained: "Replying to the Crown Princess, this Mr. Xiao is too stubborn, and would rather die than submit to me. I had no choice but to knock him out first, and then carry him back to the mansion."

Hearing this, Xue Jinhua was not angry at all. Instead, she chuckled: "Haha, I didn't expect this person to be a scholar with quite a bit of backbone."

"It's a pity that this so-called backbone... often becomes worthless in the face of powerful forces."

After she finished speaking, she gently waved her hand and signaled Qingyi, "Okay, hurry up and bring the person into the house."

In the dark room, there was a suffocating and oppressive atmosphere.

When Xiao En's mouth was finally released, he roared loudly: "Who are you? How dare you arrest me so boldly! Don't you know who I am?"

His voice echoed back and forth in this small space, as if trying to break through the shackles of darkness.

However, the only response he received was deathly silence.

Seeing this, Sean became even more angry and continued to roar: "In broad daylight, under the clear sky, you lawless people actually dared to arrest an official of the imperial court! I will report this matter to the emperor and ask the emperor to punish you severely and kill you all!"

While yelling, he struggled to stand up, but his hands and feet were tied tightly with ropes, so he could only twist his body in vain.

At this moment, an angry shout suddenly rang out: "Quiet!"

Immediately afterwards, there was a dull "bang" sound, and the man in blue kicked Sean hard.

Sean was caught off guard, his body flew backwards, hit the cold and hard wall heavily, and then curled up in the corner.

Although the pain was unbearable, he still muttered stubbornly: "You are a woman... and you are so rude and barbaric, and you don't know etiquette. If you behave like this, be careful that no one will dare to marry you in the future, and you will end up alone..."

Before he finished speaking, another crisp cold snort was heard.

"Lord Xiao, please stop arguing." Xue Jinhua's leisurely voice sounded slowly.

Upon hearing this, Sean shuddered involuntarily.

Before he could come back to his senses, Xue Jinhua's words reached his ears again: "Tell me... if the Zhenguo Mansion knew that the son born to the Crown Prince's Consort was from your Xiao family, how would they react?"

Sean's face turned pale as paper in an instant, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and his lips began to tremble uncontrollably: "You...you stop talking nonsense! This is not true at all!"

"Oh, is what I said false?"

Xue Jinhua raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and said with a smile, "Then how about I order someone to invite the Crown Prince's Consort from the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion to come and confront you face to face?"

"You...you dare?"

"Snapped."

As soon as the words came out, Qing Yi slapped him like the wind, "Master Xiao, how dare you threaten me in your current state?"

"This is all my business, and has nothing to do with her..."

Xue Jinhua's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and she thought to herself, this is... an admission?

Qingyi's mouth twitched slightly. She had thought that Sean was a difficult character and not easy to talk to, but she didn't expect that the Crown Princess only used a few words to fool him and he admitted it?

Is it possible that the so-called pride of scholars is as thin as paper?

"You continue to interrogate him and make him tell you all the truth." Xue Jinhua paused for a moment and then instructed before leaving, "By the way, tell Censor Xiao about this. I'm sure he will be able to handle it properly."

After hearing this, Mr. Xiao's mind flashed with his ruthless father, and his legs went weak with fear.

After Zhao Yuting arrived, the Crown Princess was unable to come due to some matters, so she asked her sister-in-law to come and entertain her.

She was already feeling a little unhappy.

"Does she think that she can get rid of me by not seeing me?" Zhao Yuting sneered, "Could it be that she has something to hide, so she doesn't dare to see me?"

Zhou Mengmeng frowned, "Sister-in-law, the Crown Princess is very busy. Maybe she really has something important to deal with, which delayed her meeting with you."

"What do you know? No matter how busy she is, can't she squeeze out a moment to see me?"

Zhao Yuting's eyes were fierce. "You, you better be more prepared and get pregnant soon. By then, even if she has the ability to see through the sky and the earth, she will only be able to bow down to you."

When Zhou Mengmeng said this, she also subconsciously stroked her belly.

Deep down I was looking forward to a better future, yet I felt inexplicably irritated.

In fact, the prince stayed in her own palace during this period of time...but she seemed to have lost her memory and had no idea what happened at night.

But when she woke up in the morning, she saw the prince sleeping beside her, and she felt as if all the muscles and bones in her body had been sucked out, leaving her limp and powerless.

She once asked her governess, but the governess said... this was inevitable for a girl when she had sex for the first time.

Although she suppressed the doubts in her heart, she now only hoped to get pregnant as soon as possible.

But when this matter was mentioned at this moment, she felt a little uneasy in her heart.

"Sister-in-law, tell me... how did it feel the first time?"

Zhao Yuting was feeling very proud of herself when she suddenly heard her sister-in-law say this. She was stunned for a long while before she came to her senses and understood what she meant.

She couldn't help but blush as she recalled that night... She had an appointment with the prince, but unexpectedly entered his house by mistake.

To be honest, although it was a little painful, the feeling was really intoxicating.

So much so that every time she had unsatisfactory interactions with the Crown Prince, the scene of that night would always come to her mind.

"sister in law."

Seeing that she remained silent, Zhou Mengmeng called her again.

Zhao Yuting came back to her senses, put down the teacup, and said softly: "Apart from pain, what else can I feel?"

"However, if you want to get pregnant, sister-in-law does have a unique secret recipe that I can tell you in secret."

After saying that, Zhao Yuting put her ear close and whispered a few words. After hearing that, Zhou Mengmeng couldn't help but blush.

"The Crown Princess has arrived."

While the two were chatting and laughing, Xue Jinhua led everyone... into the house.

Also coming with them was the Marquis of Zhenguo.

"Dad." Zhou Mengmeng couldn't help but bowed quickly.

Zhao Yuting frowned slightly, secretly surprised. Shouldn't her father-in-law be in the Yangxin Palace at this time? Why did he suddenly come here?
