Chu Ci shook off the Duke's wife's hand and walked up to Rong Ziyu in a sissy voice, "Your so-and-so is pregnant. How long has it been?"
Rong Ziyu stood up and put her hands on Chu Ci's shoulders. "I'm sorry, I didn't know it would be like this. I didn't know Chu Xiao would be pregnant. She's already two months pregnant."
Chu Ci's eyes turned empty, his whole body went limp, and he fell backwards.
Suddenly, a pair of large hands reached out and steadily caught Chu Ci, holding her tightly in their arms. "Go and move a chair for Miss Chu to sit down."
After giving the order, Prince Rui used the opportunity to cover his eyes and whispered, "Your acting is quite good. If someone didn't know, they would really think you were in love with Rong Ziyu."
Chu Ci's expression remained unchanged. Using the loose clothing to cover her face, she twisted Prince Rui's waist hard, "Don't get in my way."
"Really? Your face is so changeable. I don't know which one is Miss Chu's truest look."
Chu Ci was about to make another move, but just as she stretched out her hand, Prince Rui threw her onto the chair that had already been placed there. He wiped his hands with a handkerchief in disgust and said, "Really? I have to change my clothes when I get home."
Everyone was ashamed and speechless about Prince Rui's habit of not liking to interact with women!
"Okay, tell me quickly, how do we solve this problem?" Prince Rui was a little impatient, turning the Buddhist beads in his hand. The collision of the beads seemed to be knocking on the hearts of everyone present.
Pingyang Hou looked at the Duke and his wife and said, "Tell me what to do with my Xiaoer in the future."
The Duke was not in a position to discuss matters concerning the inner quarters, so he remained silent. He looked at his wife, who nodded, indicating that she understood.
"How about this, we will send someone to take Chu Xiao to the Duke's Mansion immediately." The Duke's wife glanced at the person opposite.
The Marquis and his wife's expressions changed instantly. They took her away directly. This was still the treatment of a concubine. This was not what they wanted.
The Marquis's wife stood up from the bedside and loudly retorted, "This is absolutely impossible. I am the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's Mansion. If I go to the Duke's Mansion to be a concubine, the other daughters of the Marquis's family will not marry. This is absolutely impossible."
The Marquis of Ping'an took a deep breath, looked across at the Duke's wife, and restrained his tone, "Duke's wife, although the status of this Marquis's second daughter is not high enough, she is more than qualified to be the wife of your prince. Putting that aside, do you really want the mother of your eldest son to be a lowly concubine?"
The Duke's couple looked at each other. Chu Xiao could refuse to give face, and the Marquis's family could refuse to give face, but they had to give face to the eldest grandson of the Duke's family.
The Duke thought about it and finally nodded.
This time it was the Duke's wife's turn to take a deep breath and suppress her anger. She still felt very angry and slapped Rong Ziyu in the face. This time she felt much better. "At most, I'll give you the status of a concubine. How about this, ask Yu'er to call a few friends who are good friends to have some fun."
The people in the Marquis' Mansion were still unwilling. The two of them didn't say anything, but just looked at the Duke's wife coldly.
Finally, the Duke's wife looked at Chu Xiao lying on the bed, and glanced at her belly. It is said that people have feelings for each other when they meet, so the Duke's wife finally softened her heart and said, "How about this, after Chu Xiao gives birth to the child, you can put the child next to Xiaoci to raise it."
"do not want!"
Chu Xiao struggled to get off the bed, ran to Rong Ziyu and knelt down, hugged his legs and started crying, "Prince, it was you who said you wouldn't ignore me, it was you who said you would treat me well forever, it was you who said the person you loved was mine, and the child I gave birth to with my life, and now you want me to give him to someone else, Rong Ziyu, please say something!"
"Rong Ziyu, if you don't say anything, I would rather abort him than give him to someone else."
The Duke's wife was so angry that she fell backwards. Fortunately, the Duke was very clever, otherwise the concubine would have to lie down again.
Ping'an Hou Jian couldn't go on any further, so he gave Chu Ci a look, wanting her to tell him her plan. This look happened to be seen by King Rui.
He snorted coldly and muttered softly, "What a good father."
"It's a pity it's not mine." Chu Ci followed up.
King Rui glanced at her and suddenly felt that the little fox spoke very little today and even her spirit was very low. She must be very sad now, right?
He didn't know why he suddenly felt a little distressed. It seemed that he had to go back and ask the court doctor to check it out.
Chu Ci stood up and said, "Since you all disagree, let me say something."
"I was originally the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family. When I married Prince Rong, I didn't follow the proper etiquette, didn't have a wedding ceremony, didn't offer tea, and even returned home alone." Having said this, Chu Ci walked up to Prince Rui and knelt directly. "Why not let my sister marry into the Duke's family in my place? That way, all the problems will be solved."
"As for my marriage with Prince Rong, it is now canceled."
Chu Ci's words stunned everyone present.
Prince Rui looked at her seriously, "Are you serious?"
Chu Ci nodded, "Your Highness, there is a connection between Prince Rong and I, but it's not that great. Now that things have developed to this point, there's no need for the two of us to continue!"
"That's right. According to national law, your wedding must be cancelled."
The Duke's wife wanted to step forward and ask, but the Duke grabbed her wrist and glanced at the Marquis of Ping'an and his wife. The Duke's wife was immediately furious and said, "No."
"Even if Chu Ci and Yu'er's wedding is invalid, it's impossible for Chu Xiao to become the Crown Prince's Consort with her behavior." The Duke's wife said with gritted teeth. If they want to force it, then let's see who is more powerful.
Isn't it in accordance with national law? She will do it too.
She walked up to Prince Rui and knelt down. "My Lords, if I remember correctly, the law of the land stipulates that a woman can be betrothed to a wife and a man can be a concubine. Chu Xiao is already two months pregnant. How can she be the wife of the Crown Prince of our country?"
Chu Ci glanced at King Rui, then lowered his head.
A breeze blew by, and the hairpin on Chu Ci's head swayed gently back and forth.
Prince Rui smiled knowingly, "Second brother, is there really such a method?"
Prince Chun nodded, "Brother, it is true."
These two sentences firmly locked Chu Xiao in the position of concubine.
Marquis Pingan walked up to the Duke and said, "How about this? Chu Ci and the prince's engagement is cancelled, and Chu Xiao will marry him as his concubine."
The Duke's wife was about to disagree when the Marquis of Ping'an spoke up, "For the sake of the child, as for the rest, we'll stick with the original plan."
The Duke looked deeply at the Marquis of Ping'an and nodded, "Okay!"
Prince Rui took a look at the two people and felt that something was wrong with them. It seemed that this wedding was not simple, and he had to investigate it carefully when he returned.
"Then I will report to my father immediately. The circumstances of your two families are special. I will inform him."
From then on, Chu Ci and Rong Ziyu had no relationship anymore, and Chu Xiao became Rong Ziyu's concubine. The news that she was two months pregnant spread throughout Changping in an instant.
