Top white, rich and beautiful, the princess is reborn and the revenge story
Chapter 83 Everyone’s Choice
Shaoyao came into the room carrying a glass of water. Nanny Wang was still trying to persuade Zhao Baozhu, and it looked like she was somewhat persuaded.
Zhao Baozhu nodded and said, "When I see my mother-in-law later, I will ask her to move the dowry to my yard."
Nanny Wang breathed a sigh of relief. She had finally lived up to Concubine Hui's expectations and persuaded the princess.
Peony and azalea stood quietly by, with their heads down, thinking about their own things.
Ever since Princess Hening Zhao Yushu was sent to the Wumeng Kingdom for marriage, the thoughts of these two maids have undergone tremendous changes.
In the past, they always thought that the princess was a golden branch and jade leaf, and as long as they clung to the princess's thighs, they would live a good life all their lives, but now they find that this is not the case at all.
The princess is not a princess at all. Like the daughters of ordinary families, she is a tool used by her parents to exchange for benefits and may fall into danger at any time.
For example, Zhao Yushu, when she went to Wumeng Kingdom to marry, she had to serve the barbaric men of Wumeng Kingdom, not to mention her maids, who were probably even worse off.
Zhao Yushu was still useful, but Zhao Baozhu was useless, with a ruined face and a bad reputation, and her value was very low, so the emperor stripped her of her title and casually gave it to Cui Hao.
Shaoyao and Dujuan realized that the princess was unreliable and could collapse at any time, so they had to find someone else to rely on. The most suitable person was Cui Hao.
As long as they could please Cui Hao, they could become his concubines, give birth to his own children, and then become the masters.
The Cui family was not well-off, and if they wanted to live a wealthy life, they had to rely on Zhao Baozhu's dowry, so neither Shaoyao nor Dujuan reminded her.
Cui Hao then hurriedly found his parents and told them what Shaoyao had said.
Cui's mother was furious when she heard this. "No! You absolutely can't let her move back. I've already thought of places to put those things. Some will be used as a dowry for your sister, some will be used to decorate the house, and some will be used to supplement the household income. Every piece has a use."
Cui's father scolded him, "Don't be so direct. If others hear us, they might say we're after our daughter-in-law's dowry. That's too harsh."
"Master, tell me a suitable solution. It's impossible to return it anyway."
"She just got married and is still shy. She's probably too embarrassed to speak. So we'll block her mouth and not give her a chance to speak. You can act this way."
After Cui's father gave some advice, Cui's mother and Cui Hao nodded frequently.
Cui's mother added, "The princess is young and doesn't know the ins and outs of the inner chambers. That old, pious woman, Nanny Wang, is an expert. It would be better if she were driven away."
"It's too conspicuous to drive this one away, and if we drive this one away, they'll send a new one, which will be even more troublesome."
"How about that?"
Father Cui pondered, "This person has not been with the princess for long. The princess will not completely trust her, and she will not be completely loyal to the princess. I guess she is just following orders.
Such a person is actually very easy to deal with. We can find a way to persuade her to defect and join us. If that doesn't work, we can depose her and make her sick and make mistakes frequently. The princess will naturally distance herself from her."
Cui Hao felt relieved and said, "The most urgent thing is to let the princess give birth to the child. As long as she has my child, she will be on the same page with us."
Cui's mother also nodded, "That's right, when a woman has a child, her heart will turn to her husband's family."
Father Cui shook his head and said, "No, she can't give birth to our child."
Cui Hao and Cui's mother asked in surprise, "Why?"
"The court is turbulent and unpredictable right now. If you speak out today, you could be guillotined tomorrow. We have to be careful."
Father Cui whispered, "The Fourth Prince's death was so strange. It was said that he was sentenced to death by the Emperor, but when he was found, he was already dead.
Before him, the Crown Princess also died. I always feel that there is something strange about this. Maybe it was the Crown Prince's doing.
If that were the case, the prince would not want to appear so merciful.
If our family marries the second princess, we will be tied to the same chariot with the third prince. What if the third prince angers the crown prince and gets rid of us all?
So, we have to hedge our bets on this matter!"
Cui Hao listened carefully. "Father, since we have already married Zhao Baozhu, how can we bet on both sides? The prince will not believe us."
"Haha, son, you are still too naive. On the surface, we are tied to the Third Prince. If the Third Prince is capable, we will support him. If he is not, we will secretly side with the Crown Prince. Then Zhao Baozhu will be the bargaining chip for surrender.
Therefore, Zhao Baozhu must not give birth to a child of our Cui family's bloodline. If she does, it will be troublesome and we will be implicated."
Father Cui stroked his beard, feeling proud of his own thoughts. He was really a tough fence-sitter.
In this family, the person who makes the decision is Cui's father. Since he has made the decision, Cui Hao and Cui's mother can only listen.
Cui's mother said, "Master, if you don't let Zhao Baozhu have children, our family will be extinct!"
"How can there be no descendants? Can't we just let other women give birth? Take in a few concubines, a few more wives, and then marry a wife for Hao'er. He can have as many children as he wants."
"But how could Zhao Baozhu agree? She must have her own child! She also won't agree to Hao'er taking a concubine or a wife!"
"That's easy. Just don't let her give birth forever, right?"
Father Cui stood up and took out an oil-paper bag from the secret box. "This is a sterilizing medicine from the Nanzhao Kingdom. If a woman drinks it, she will never be able to have children.
Wait a minute, go to the kitchen and get a bowl of sweet soup, put the medicine in it, and serve it to Zhao Baozhu personally.
Today is her first day as a disciple, and she has no guard at all. She will definitely drink the soup brought to her by her mother-in-law."
Cui's mother took the medicine, her fingertips trembling slightly. She was greedy for money and wanted Zhao Baozhu's dowry. She also wanted to suppress her and shake off her mother-in-law's power, but she didn't want Zhao Baozhu to not have children.
Women who live in the inner house understand the rules of survival for women best: first, they rely on men; second, they rely on dowries; and third, they rely on children.
The master is being a bit cruel by not allowing Zhao Baozhu to have children. If the princess is allowed to waste her time alone in the Cui family, she will definitely go crazy, and the inner house will be in chaos. No, we can't do this.
"If that's the case, Hao'er won't have a legitimate son. A bunch of illegitimate sons are not as good as one legitimate son. Besides, how can the education of illegitimate sons compare to that of legitimate sons? Master, you should think about it again."
Father Cui sneered, "What do you know? You are too soft-hearted. If Zhao Baozhu had a legitimate son, she would not properly educate the illegitimate son. But if she doesn't have a legitimate son, we can register the illegitimate sons and daughters under her name.
By then, all of them will be legitimate sons and daughters. For the sake of a peaceful life in the second half of her life, she will certainly be willing to educate them and distribute her property to them.
Because she has no children, she feels guilty and dares not make trouble in the inner house, but she will also fight for our interests outside.
In short, not letting her have children will benefit all parties. I have made up my mind, so please stop talking."
Mother Cui's eyes flashed with surprise and fear. Could this be Cui Yumao's true thoughts? When she first married him, did he also not want her to have children?
Father Cui felt a little regretful. He drank too much today and got a little carried away, so he didn't control his words.
This is the way men deal with their original wives and control women. Some of the methods are insidious and are passed on orally to their sons. They are never taught to their daughters, and they will never let their wives know. This is a secret between them.
Now that Cui's mother heard about it, things were not going well.
Father Cui stood up and said in a disingenuous manner, "That's it. Hao'er, you come with me to the front yard to entertain the guests. Guo, go feed the princess the sweet soup and make sure she takes the medicine."
"......Yes."
"Guo, remember, we are a family. Don't let your soft-heartedness harm the entire family."
"Master, I understand."
Cui's father took Cui Hao out. Both father and son readily accepted the idea. They only had their future and family glory in their eyes.
Cui's mother calmed herself down and went to the kitchen to order a bowl of sweet soup. She added the chopped wood pear that Zhao Baozhu loved to eat. She sprinkled the medicine into it and stirred it with a wooden spoon.
Cui's mother's hands trembled a little, and she sighed in her heart, but still ordered someone to carry the tray and go to Cui Hao's yard.
