The mistress is not a cannon fodder, the cold prince falls in love with her every night

That night, it rained heavily.

The rumbling thunder drowned out all the beautiful sounds.

……

In Piaoxiang Pavilion, the roar of willow catkins was no less than the lightning and thunder outside.

"Why?! Ping'er is my son! Why did you unanimously agree to hand him over to another woman for upbringing without my consent? Pei Yan! Speak!"

After finishing her business outside, Liu Xu dragged her tired body back home, but what was waiting for her was the news that Ping Ge'er was taken away by the Ninth Princess!

She went to the Marquis's wife to argue, but she refused to see her.

When he went to see the old lady, he didn't even enter her courtyard.

After much difficulty, Pei Yan was caught, but he said:

"This is in accordance with the rules!"

"Rules! Rules! Damn the rules! For the sake of the rules, I, a good person, became your concubine. I had to wear a hood and be followed closely when I went out, and I had to kneel down and pay my respects when I came home! Now, I can't even keep my own son! Pei Yan, what kind of bullshit rules are these! Why can't my own son be raised by my side?!"

The resentment that Liu Xu had accumulated for half a year finally burst out at this moment.

Pei Yan tried to hug her and comfort her softly as usual, but was separated by the rustling of willow catkins.

He said helplessly, "Xu'er, I just found out about this. If I were there, I would definitely oppose them doing this. Rules are rules, and human relationships are human relationships. Ping'er is our son, so naturally he should be raised by us."

"Do you really think so?"

"Ok!"

"Okay, then go to Fangfei Garden right now and bring my brother Ping back!" Liu Xu pointed to the violent storm outside.

Pei Yan held her hand and said, "Xu'er, I want to, too. But you know the princess has the final say! She's so unruly and if I don't agree with her, she'll resort to the tactics of a monarch and a minister to pressure me. Xu'er, she's a princess!"

Liu Xu looked at the sudden rain and strong wind, feeling extremely angry!

But so what?

On Pei Yan's wedding night, she was just passing by the entrance of Fangfei Garden, and she was held down and slapped more than a dozen times! It still hurts just thinking about it now!

"Pei Yan, do you still want the design and formula? If so, bring Brother Ping back to me!"

Liu Xu gritted her teeth and had to say something harsh for her son.

Pei Yan was stunned. He didn't expect Liu Xu to threaten him with the design drawings and formula.

"Xu'er, there's nothing wrong with Ping'er being with the princess! You're usually busy with business and design drawings, so you don't have time to take care of him! Now that the princess is willing to take care of him, isn't that the best of both worlds? Don't worry, I'm often at Fangfei Garden too, and Ping'er is my son too, I'll keep a close eye on him."

"Are you going or not?!"

Liu Xu's heart sank little by little.

Pei Yan saw that she looked unhappy and quickly coaxed her:

"Go! I'll go! But it's so windy and rainy today and it's so late. How about we talk about it tomorrow?"

Then he came to hug her.

Liu Xu was unwillingly held in Pei Yan's arms, her heart twitching with the dull thunder.

……

In Fangfei Garden, the Ninth Princess blocked her ears with a pillow, but the pig-slaughtering howling and crying of Ping'er next door still kept drilling into her ears.

The Ninth Princess roared and jumped up from the bed:

"What time is it? Why is he still howling?!"

Ling Rong came over and served:

"Princess, how about I make you a bowl of calming tea?"

"What kind of peace is that?! He should be the one to do it, not me! What are all the maids for?! They can't even take care of a child!"

The Ninth Princess yelled towards the door.

"Princess, calm down. I will find a solution right away."

Lingrong opened the door and went out. The crying sounds from next door gradually died down.

A flash of lightning flashed across the night sky, and the Ninth Princess screamed, grabbed a teacup, and smashed it against the door! Her face was distorted, almost crazy!

Originally, she and Liu Xu could live in peace.

She doesn't love Pei Yan.

I don’t care who he sleeps with or who he has children with!

She doesn't care about the eldest son of a concubine.

But Liu Xu happened to come and provoke her!

This restless woman used some unknown means to make Concubine Wen promote her to a concubine less than a month after her marriage. This was equivalent to a slap in the face of her, the Ninth Princess!

She was the Ninth Princess, she could get whatever she wanted, so when had she ever been schemed against like this? When had she ever suffered such humiliation?

Nie Yunrou, Liu Xu, and Concubine Wen!

All those who have humiliated her must pay the price!

If the catkins want to fight, then let them fight!

She wanted to see how far this woman could go in overestimating her own abilities!

Men! Children! Everything about her!

She will pay the price for her stupidity and ambition!

……

The next day at noon, before the Ninth Princess woke up, Lingrong came to report: "Princess, Ping'er has a fever."

Ping'er cried for most of the night and finally fell asleep at dawn, but soon he developed a high fever. The maids tried to clean his body and give him medicine, but the fever didn't go away. They had no choice but to report it to the princess.

The ninth princess turned over and continued to sleep.

"If you have a fever, go get the imperial physician. This princess can't treat illnesses!"

"Yes!"

Lingrong quickly retreated, not daring to disturb the princess again.

For several days, the imperial physicians were in and out of Fangfei Garden. Ping Ge'er howled day and night, so much so that the Ninth Princess was restless and her eyes were sunken.

On this side, Liu Xu heard the news that Ping Ge'er was sick, and cried and begged Pei Yan to take him back quickly.

Pei Yan entered Fangfei Garden and saw that the princess had become much more haggard. He said with concern:

"Princess, little kids are the most annoying. They keep making noises day and night, keeping you awake. Why not just send him back?"

The Ninth Princess sneered, glanced at Pei Yan, and said:

"So the Prince Consort is here to lobby for that woman?"

"No way! How is that possible! The princess likes children, so we can just have one of our own. Why bother raising someone else's?"

"Someone else's?" The princess looked at Pei Yan sarcastically. "Prince Consort, Ping'er is your son, how can he be considered someone else's? I must treat your child as my own! Otherwise, what will people say about me?"

Pei Yan looked at the Ninth Princess who was acting sarcastic and didn't dare to say anything.

He was puzzled. Although the Ninth Princess was a bit willful and capricious, when did she become so sinister? However, from then on, he never dared to mention the matter of Bao Ping'er leaving again.

Seeing that asking Pei Yan for help was useless, Liu Xu had no choice but to run to Fangfei Garden to ask in person.

"Princess, Ping'er has been weak and sick since he was born. Please let me take him home to recuperate. At worst, I can send him back to you when he recovers! Princess, I beg you!"

Liu Xu felt heartbroken when she thought about her son's fever which had not improved for so many days.

The Ninth Princess was exhausted after several days of hardship. She felt annoyed at the thought of Brother Ping'er howling. At this moment, the sight of Liu Xu made her heart burn with anger.

She sneered:

"How ridiculous! This princess is Ping'er's legitimate mother. If he falls ill, why would he be raised in the care of a concubine who is a descendant of a night-scented woman? Mr. Liu, you really have wild ideas!"

When Liu Xu heard Ye Xiang was calling out to him, she became angry.

But her son was in someone else's hands, so she had to bow her head.

"You are right, Princess! But Ping'er hasn't been away from me for so many days since he was little. He gets bad tempered and cries a lot when he's sick! Princess, let me take him back so he doesn't bother you."

"Don't you understand what this princess is saying?"

The Ninth Princess' voice suddenly rose to a higher pitch, and her expression became fierce. She stood up suddenly, stepped on Liu Xu's arm, and rolled over her fingers one by one, saying fiercely:

"Liu, don't think I can't do anything to you just because you've hooked up with the Imperial Concubine! Killing you would be as easy as killing an ant! If you come to me and make trouble again, I'll make sure you don't see the sun tomorrow!"

After saying that, he glanced down at Liu Xu, flicked his sleeves and turned away.

Leaving Liu Xu kneeling dejectedly on the ground.

After leaving Fangfei Garden in a daze, Liu Xu looked at the huge mansion and found that no one could help her.

Suddenly she seemed to have grasped something, wiped her tears and ran towards Qingshanyuan!
