The daughter of the emperor is reborn, and the evil prince loves her very much

The Duke picked up a cup of tea and thought for a long time, but he couldn't figure out how to say the next words in a nicer way. In the end, he decided to say it bluntly.

"Marquis Pingyang, my son has been the only son in three generations. His wedding was ruined by your youngest daughter, and his reputation has been completely ruined. His health has also been damaged by your eldest daughter. Tell me, how should this matter be resolved? Who will be the wife of the Crown Prince of our mansion?"

The Marquis of Pingyang and his wife looked at each other, both with worried brows. Chu Ci and his family had already broken off the engagement, and besides, the Marquis of Pingyang himself wanted to keep a daughter who was more capable of going out for marriage so as to improve his official position.

The two looked at each other, neither of them knowing what to do next.

Suddenly, the Marquis's wife's eyes lit up. Perhaps there was an idea. It could just happen that she could solve Xiao'er's current predicament, and perhaps it would also improve her status in the hearts of the Duke and his wife.

The Marquis's wife looked at the Duke and his wife hopefully, "Madam, since there are no good candidates, how about making Xiao'er the legitimate wife? She's pregnant with your Duke's child. Even if we find another young lady willing to marry, the future Crown Prince will definitely be my daughter's child. In this case, it would be better to make Xiao'er the legitimate wife. It would save a lot of trouble."

Marquis Pingyang glanced at his wife and felt that she seemed to have suddenly become smarter. Yes, the situation was different now.

The prince of the Duke's Mansion is now a waste. If he wants to inherit the family line, it must be the child in his daughter's belly. Almost instantly, Marquis Pingyang straightened his back.

"Yes! Duke, I think what the lady said is right. In the future, this Duke's Mansion will definitely belong to my child. It would be too much trouble to find a mistress to take charge of the house."

At this time, the Pingyang Marquis and his wife had completely ignored Mei Niang's child, or they had never thought about letting Mei Niang's child survive.

The Duke's wife shook her head and dismissed the idea. "Impossible! We in the Duke's Mansion will never allow a concubine to become the principal wife. I would rather leave the principal wife position vacant. This is the rule."

The Duke looked at his wife in agreement, but he could not agree. After all, the position of the principal wife could only belong to Chu Ci.

The Marquis's wife was choked. After being rejected so many times, it seemed that there was really no hope. The light in her eyes disappeared instantly.

Thinking about her daughter who is still lying in bed, with no child, and the prince is also useless, she will definitely not be able to get pregnant again. What will she do in the future? She still has a concubine who is pregnant.

I heard Xiao'er is still at odds with that concubine, so her future life is really worrying.

Thinking of this, the Marquis's wife became even more worried.

After waiting for a long time, Pingyang Hou saw that his wife was silent, so he could only ask, "So, what do you two mean?"

The Duke's wife spoke the truth, "We don't have any other requests. Chu Ci hasn't married yet. How about this? It's all your mansion's fault anyway. Why not just marry Chu Ci to my son? We won't mind her anymore."

At this point, the Duke's wife glanced at the two of them and continued, "This is good for both of us. Besides, any future children born in the Duke's Mansion will definitely be raised under the name of the principal wife. This will be good for both Chu Xiao and her children in the future."

The wife of Marquis Pingyang's eyes widened instantly. This seemed to be a good idea. At least Xiao'er's life would not be too difficult in the future.

Or you can help keep the child's affairs a secret.

"Okay!" The Marquis' wife agreed to this matter very smoothly, but Marquis Pingyang was not very willing to do so. He still hoped to marry Chu Ci off and improve his position.

"Since the Marquis is unwilling, then wait for the emperor's summons and the censors' reports tomorrow." The Duke stood up, flicked his long sleeves, and was about to leave.

The marquis' wife looked at the Marquis of Pingyang anxiously and persuaded him, "Master, your official career is more important. You can plan for other things later." The Marquis of Pingyang thought about his other concubines and reluctantly agreed.

"Okay, I agree, but Chu Ci is difficult to deal with. After all, if she had agreed at the beginning, she would not have broken off the engagement, and so many things would not have happened." Marquis Pingyang blamed everything that happened later on Chu Ci, thinking that this would alleviate the Duke's bad impression of him.

The Duke's wife stood up and smiled. "That's easy. If I remember correctly, tomorrow is the day to burn incense, right? Madam Pingyang, things don't seem to be going smoothly at the Marquis's residence lately. Let's go and burn some incense."

"By the way, if the time is too short, it will definitely seem insincere."

After the Duke's wife finished speaking, she supported her husband and turned to leave, without even asking the servants to see the Marquis of Pingyang and his wife off.

The wife of Marquis Pingyang did not understand what the wife of the Duke's Mansion said. Just as she was about to ask, Marquis Pingyang shook his head and walked out with big strides.

The Marquis's wife returned to her own courtyard, put away the box in her hand, looked at the leaves swaying back and forth outside the window, and thought of the Duke's wife's last words, and decided to go burn incense.

The Marquis's wife turned and said to the nanny beside her, "Madame Li, go inform Chu Ci that tomorrow is the day to burn incense. The Marquis's residence has not been peaceful lately. Let's go to the Buddha to pray and calm our hearts."

Madam Li nodded, "Yes, Master. I will go right away."

Nanny Li arrived at Chu Ci's yard and looked at Chu Ci drinking tea leisurely under the wisteria flowers.

Seeing this scene, Nanny Li suddenly realized that the eldest lady seemed to have changed at some point. The original eldest lady did not have the temperament and feeling of a superior like she does now.

Nanny Li coughed lightly and slowly walked to Chu Ci, bowing and greeting her. "This old servant pays her respects to the eldest lady. Madam said that things are not very peaceful in the Marquis' Mansion recently. Go and burn some incense and calm your mind. Get up early tomorrow morning and leave early."

Chu Ci glanced at Nanny Li suspiciously. Burning incense? Impossible? Could she be so kind? Perhaps she had done something immoral and wanted to chant some sutras to atone for her sins?

"Okay, I get it. There have been a lot of things going on lately. My sister and I's marriage hasn't been going well. She's the legitimate daughter of a marquis, but now she's become a concubine of a duke. It's been really rough lately."

Nanny Li glanced at Chu Ci and really didn't know what to say. She knew what the master's weakness was, and the eldest lady would say it. It would be so embarrassing if the master heard it.

After Li Ma Ma conveyed the message, she turned around and left.

Chu Ci looked at Li Ma's back and thought about what she had just said. She always felt that something was wrong and felt panicked.

Chunhua trotted to Chuci's side and handed the note to Chuci, "Master, this is what we just received."

Chu Ci read the note and a strange smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She said that this matter was not that simple. It turned out that she wanted to burn incense for her lost child.
