She married a dying prince and she won three babies.

The third master and the prince look 50% similar, and you can tell at a glance that they are brothers, but these 50% similarities are also inherited from the old prince.

The third old lady looked at her son with mixed feelings.

I wish my son looked like her.

But not everything in this world goes as she wishes.

For example, she was the concubine of the old prince.

After so many years, no one knows when she will be able to live a life that truly belongs to her.

She is already fifty-six years old. How many years can she live?

"Don't move for now. Now that we are back in the palace, it is different from being outside. We must be more careful in our actions. Okay, call the two children to have dinner together, and we will discuss it after dinner." The third old lady sighed deeply in her heart.

The third lady went to the door and asked the maid to call the two children.

The Third Old Lady usually doesn't allow anyone to serve her closely at all times.

So the maids who always served her stood outside the door, and the Third Old Lady would call out if she needed anything.

In other words, when the master wants to speak privately, servants are absolutely not allowed to be present.

This has been the old rule for their three families for many years.

The servants all know this and understand the rules.

The servants of the Third House were well-trained and were all veterans they were used to. The Third House never added servants lightly.

After dinner, the third old lady and the third master came to the inner room where the third old lady lived, and the third old lady was sent back to her own yard.

Just the two of them, mother and son.

When the mother and son discuss things, the third wife rarely participates, and she will only be called when there is something that she absolutely must know.

After so many years, the third wife has long been accustomed to it.

But there was one thing that the Third Lady was most satisfied with: her mother-in-law had never brought anyone else into her husband's room. For so many years, her husband had only had her as his woman.

"Mother, what do you think about the prince marrying two wives?" The third master had been thinking about this matter for a long time, but he had no way of interfering in it. He had been working outside and many things were beyond his reach.

"This matter is a bit troublesome. From what I understand, although the Nanhua County Lady is a bit unruly, she is quite strong. Chaoyang is no match for her, and Chaoyang is the Crown Prince's Consort, so this matter is very tricky. The Nanhua County Lady is targeting the Crown Prince's Consort. Otherwise, she would not have planned for Zishu to marry her."

"But Chaoyang is pregnant now. What should we do? What if Nanhua wants to harm the baby in Chaoyang's belly?" The third master was very worried about this.

"The reason why County Lady Nanhua is so anxious to marry into the palace is that she wants to harm the baby in Chaoyang's belly. Otherwise, why is she so anxious? Chaoyang is already seven months pregnant. If something unexpected happens, there is a high possibility of two deaths." The third old lady had long understood the purpose of County Lady Nanhua.

"Should we keep this child?" The third master was a little reluctant to give up the child.

"There's no room for two tigers in one mountain. Let's see what she can do. We shouldn't interfere. One of them has to go down, otherwise the prince's backyard will be unstable, which will be detrimental to his ability to maintain his position as the prince."

I can only blame the prince for not being cautious enough, bringing such a disaster upon myself. This incident should teach him a lesson, make him more cautious in the future.

Prince Mo married a good wife and raised his daughter well. The Nanhua County Lady is much better than Yu Chaoyang, who was raised in the Yong'an Earl's Mansion."

The third old lady understood people's hearts very well. From the first time she saw Yu Chaoyang today, she saw through her about 70%.

"Alas, my son is a pity for the baby in her belly."

"If she can't protect you, you can only blame her for being incompetent. That's the way to survive in the backyard. If you don't have the ability, you can't protect your own children. If I didn't have some ability back then, you would have been killed by the old hag named Jiang."

When the Third Old Lady first entered the mansion, the Second Old Lady hated her to the core. How could she possibly let her give birth to a child smoothly?

But the third old lady is no pushover and has plenty of ways to deal with it.

As a result, she was able to dodge cleverly every time, and was even caught in the act by the old prince, who gave Jiang Qingqing a severe lesson several times before she behaved herself.

Otherwise, her position in this palace would not be so stable.

Moreover, her son was well taught by her and was many times better than Shangguan Hongchen, which made the old prince very pleased.

Her status in the mansion was not as high as Jiang Qingqing's, but she had as much food, clothing and other expenses as her, and she also had half of the housekeeping power.

Thinking of the past, she sighed.

"Mother, what should we do about Ziqi's matter? Now the only thing that hasn't healed is his leg. And we don't know whether his leg is really not healed or just pretending." The third master was also very upset about this matter.

How come he didn't die immediately after falling?

“Ah, this is all God’s will. Our plan was so thorough, but he still woke up.

Jiang Qingqing is really something. She is so weak that she didn't even kill the person even when given such a good opportunity.

She is still too timid.

Now that we are back, we have to do many things on our own.

Find a time to deal with that imperial physician Gu who was bribed by Concubine Shu, and don't leave any evidence behind.

The prince wants to play the long game, so we cut off his string.

As for Ziqi, go find a few assassins far away and test them. If they're truly disabled, we can ignore them. If they're just pretending to be disabled, then we'll have to move our plans forward.

He is far superior to Zishu. If he were not disabled, the prince would return the throne to him sooner or later."

The third old lady is decisive in her actions and has a clear and organized approach to things.

"Yes, mother." The third master obeyed his mother like a subordinate.

"Mother, what do you think about the princess's pregnancy?" The third master talked about what had just been reported from the main courtyard.

"She's almost 40 years old, and she thinks getting pregnant is a good thing? She's going through the whole hurdle of childbirth, and whether the baby can survive is a question.

Look at all the noble families in Jingcheng. Which one of them has a woman who can give birth to a child at such an old age?

Do not care.

Even if the baby is born successfully, we still don’t know whether it is a boy or a girl. Even if it is a boy, it will take twenty years to raise him. After twenty years, who knows what the world will be like?

When Nanhua County Lady comes to the mansion, I can use her pregnancy as an excuse to get her to hand over the housekeeping power to her."

"Mother is right." The third master thought it made a lot of sense and agreed very much.

The next morning, Chunlei quietly entered Qiyayuan.

When Shangguan Ziqi came, Ziyue told him that the Spring Thunder Guard was waiting for him in the study.

After washing up, I went to the small study.

"Young Master, we had another harvest last night." Chun Lei's voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement, but also revealed a hint of heaviness.

"Oh? Tell me about it." Shangguan Ziqi raised his eyebrows and waited for him to speak.

"Last night, I hid on the rooftop of the Third Old Lady's bedroom and listened to her mumbling in her sleep. Although the fragments were scattered, when pieced together, they pointed to a shocking secret." When he said this, the excitement on his face gradually faded, replaced by an unprecedented solemnity.

"Speak." Shangguan Ziqi spoke concisely and powerfully, each word carrying a thousand pounds of weight.

"According to her mumbling in her dream, it seems to imply that the death of the old princess was related to the second old lady." Chun Lei's voice was low and cautious. He had summarized this information himself.

"What did you say?" Shangguan Ziqi was so shocked that he almost wanted to stand up from his wheelchair.

"That's what I think." Chunlei emphasized again.

"What did she say?" Shangguan Ziqi punched the armrest of the wheelchair heavily.
