My husband is pure and has few desires, but I gave birth to three children in a row

Lu Zhenzhen had seen such plots in books or on TV before, and she thought they were processed to highlight the emperor's cruelty and ruthlessness.

Now that I hear it with my own ears, I am truly shocked.

How can this be called a royal family? This is clearly a survival of the fittest, a jungle law survival competition!

Looking at it this way, the title bestowed by the emperor on the noblewoman of the Yu family, the word "Cheng", becomes very meaningful.

Honest, honest! Does this mean that Yu Guiren is too honest, simple-minded, and a naive person?

Following this line of thought, Lu Zhenzhen didn't dare to think any further.

Fu Zhiyi thought about it and decided to reveal a little more to Lu Zhenzhen so that she could finish dealing with the things in the manor. It was already the second day of May.

A letter also came from the Marquis' Mansion, urging them to return quickly, after all, the Dragon Boat Festival was approaching.

Lan and Lu Zhenzhen have been out for a few days and feel much more relaxed on the farm than in the Marquis' Mansion. They really don't want to go back.

But no matter how reluctant I am, I have to go back.

I had no choice but to ask the maids and old women to pack my luggage, which included the boxes and crates I brought with me, as well as the specialties of the two villages.

Although peaches and watermelons are not on the market yet at this time.

But the various fresh vegetables on the farm, as well as fresh wild fish, wild vegetables, mushrooms and the like, were also packed into many baskets and brought back for the people in the marquis' mansion to taste.

On the way back, Lan was in the car in front.

Fu Zhiyi and Lu Zhenzhen sat in the same car at the back.

Lan looked at her son with a teasing look. She didn't expect that this boy would be so clingy to his daughter-in-law. If outsiders saw this, they would probably be shocked.

Fu Zhiyi and Lu Zhenzhen were riding in the same car, not only because he wanted to spend more time with his wives, but also because he had some important matters to discuss.

"The second son of the Shu Palace wants to cancel his marriage with the Guan family—"

With just one sentence, Lu Zhenzhen's eyes widened.

The marriage between the second son of the Prince of Shu and the Guan family is just one step away.

If we cancel the marriage at this time, we will force Miss Guan to die!

You have to know that with the character of the Guan family, the illegitimate daughter who fell into the water and was pulled by the servant's arm was sent to the temple for asceticism.

The engagement was broken off by the Shu Palace. For the sake of the other young ladies of the Guan family, the girl who was engaged to the second son of the Shu Palace might have no choice but to die.

Even though Lu Zhenzhen had a conflict with the Guan family last time, this matter involved a living life, so she couldn't help but spit on the second young master of the Prince of Shu's Mansion.

Frowning, he asked, "We're about to get married, but you suddenly want to cancel it. Why?"

Fu Zhiyi sneered, "Concubine Yu in the palace is pregnant. It's said she's with a prince. She can't wait to announce it to the world before she's even three months pregnant."

"His Majesty has bestowed upon me the title of Noble Lady. Cheng will be Noble Lady Cheng from now on! He also promised that if I give birth to a prince, I will confer the title of Concubine Cheng on me."

"The Yu family believes they will have a prince to support them in the future, so they plan to ask His Majesty to confer the title of Junior Prince on the second son after Consort Cheng gives birth to a prince. Naturally, the girl from the Guan family is not worthy of the Junior Prince, so they want to cancel the engagement."

In a few words, he explained what had happened.

Lu Zhenzhen blinked her eyes. The Yu family's operation was truly amazing.

According to the rules of that era, a woman would not be considered pregnant until three months into her pregnancy before the baby could be announced to others.

Especially in the palace, revealing the news of pregnancy so early, are they afraid that she won’t die fast enough?

However, if the Yu family thought they had the confidence, it would make sense that the eldest lady of the Yu family dared to make such a fuss at the Crown Prince's wife's birthday banquet last time.

"Do the King of Shu and the Princess agree? This marriage is not just the Second Young Master's business. It involves two families, as well as the King of Shu's plans. Can he really back out so easily? Aren't you afraid of making enemies with the Guan family?" Lu Zhenzhen was very curious.

Fu Zhiyi sneered, "The Yu family is all smart on the outside but dumb on the inside, thinking everyone else is just as dumb as them! It's unclear whether a fetus less than three months old is a prince. Even if it is, it has to be successfully raised to be considered a prince!"

"The King of Shu is not foolish. He was also born a prince. A prince is worthless before he grows up! Now the Shu Palace is wholeheartedly following His Majesty and will not get involved in the fights between the princes. No matter who takes the throne in the future, the Shu Palace will be fine."

"Why would they lower themselves to get involved? I'm afraid everything is just the Yu family and the Second Young Master's own decision!"

Lu Zhenzhen understood that the Second Young Master and the Yu family’s plan was likely to fail.

Then she would be relieved.

As for the young lady from the Guan family, there is a high probability that she will not be favored by her husband after marrying into the palace. But what does it have to do with her?

The Guan family didn't care about her life or death, and there was no need for a stranger like her to worry about it.

What's more, as long as Miss Guan is open-minded and does not seek emotional support after marrying into the palace, her life will not be difficult.

Lu Zhenzhen was more concerned about Concubine Cheng in the palace and the child in her belly.

This is not the reason for the fall of the Marquis' Mansion, which has not yet been figured out.

Based on Lu Zhenzhen's many years of experience watching TV and reading books, it is very likely that the story is related to the royal family since almost everyone in the Marquis' Mansion died and the original male protagonist Fu Zhiming did not ask for revenge in the later period.

Or the Marquis's Mansion stood on the wrong side during the power transition.

Or they were implicated.

Or being caught up in some turmoil.

She didn't know whether the Marquis' Mansion had any grudges with other people, but from the looks of it, it definitely had grudges with the Yu and Guan families.

Judging from the Yu family's behavior, there is no guarantee that the noble lady Cheng will be blessed with good fortune and give birth to a prince in the future.

It is not impossible that the prince will take advantage of the opportunity and become the final winner in the later period.

So you have to pay more attention.

After thinking for a while, he asked, "Can the noble lady Cheng in the palace give birth to a prince smoothly?"

So worried!

Fu Zhiyi smiled and said coldly, "It's basically impossible!"

Facing Lu Zhenzhen's horrified look, afraid that she might have misunderstood him, he hurriedly explained, "I'm not saying that our mansion will take action against her. It's just that in all these years in the palace, except for those of the older princes, we haven't heard a baby cry in years."

"The eighth princess, the youngest in the palace, is already nine years old."

This sentence clearly reveals the cold-bloodedness and cruelty in the deep palace.

Lu Zhenzhen was dumbfounded: "Your Majesty, didn't you notice anything was wrong?"

Fu Zhiyi's expression was grim: "Your Majesty is naturally aware of this! However, as a woman in the harem, if you can't even protect your own child, then you have no right to bear a royal heir!"

"Besides, Your Majesty has no shortage of sons now, so naturally he doesn't care." She had to have an idea in mind so that if something really happened in the future, she wouldn't think too much.

"The eldest son of the Yu family is now very close to the Third Prince. Even the Second Prince of the King of Shu interacts more with the Third Prince than with other princes."

"It's said that the Second Young Master wanted to break off his engagement with the Guan family, and it was instigated by the Third Prince. The Third Prince even promised that if the Second Young Master broke off his engagement with the Guan family, he would personally act as a matchmaker and betroth the Third Prince's wife's cousin, the youngest daughter of the Minister of Justice, to the Second Young Master."

Lu Zhenzhen said that those people in the power centers all have dirty hearts.

The men exchanged various interests in the front, and the women in the backyard were their hostages.

As for these women in the backyard, because of their various operations, whether their lives are good or whether they can survive is not within their consideration.

This is the norm in this era.
