She married a dying prince and she won three babies.

Chapter 140 2 The Old Lady's Sleep Talk

"So what if you're the legitimate daughter? You still died early, you deserved it."

"So what if your mother has suppressed my mother for so many years? The final winner is me, Jiang Qingqing."

"No matter how loyal your maid is, she still listens to me."

"It's better to die, it's better to die. From now on, I, Jiang Qingqing, will be the only dowager in the entire palace, and you can only watch from underground."

"I didn't expect that just two pieces of ginseng would send you to the underworld."

"Who the hell is Wang Cuilan? How dare she compete with me? Just wait and see how I kill her."

"Prince, you must strive to be a good person. Grandmother is waiting for the day when you take over the palace."

Chunlei repeated a few sentences that he thought were the key points.

Shangguan Ziqi's face turned as dark as ink after hearing this.

Although these words did not explicitly say that the second old lady was the one who harmed the person, the meaning was very clear.

Two pieces of ginseng send people to the underworld. This sentence contains a lot of information.

"You can go down." Shangguan Ziqi waved his hand.

A man sits in a wheelchair, lost in thought.

Yu Yuanzheng woke up naturally and didn't see her husband when she got up. She then realized that he was in the study, so she went to find him to have dinner together.

As a result, when I entered, I saw Shangguan Ziqi's expression deep in thought.

Only when she came in front of him did Shangguan Ziqi retract his empty gaze, reached out and pulled her to sit on his lap, hugging the three of them, mother and son.

"Madam!" an affectionate call.

"Are you worried about something?" Yu Yuanzheng knew it at a glance.

"Madam, you are right. There will be many problems if there are too many women in the backyard." Shangguan Ziqi said quietly.

"That's for sure. Let's imagine that if women ruled the world and could marry multiple men, would these men fight tooth and nail for their place in the women's hearts or in their families?"

Shangguan Ziqi had never thought about it this way, and then put himself in that situation, it was horrifying.

Not to mention that women are the masters, even now, if any man dares to covet his wife, he will go crazy and kill that man.

"Madam, you will be the only one by my side." Shangguan Ziqi took a deep breath and made a promise.

"Okay, I know what you mean. What were you thinking just now?" Yu Yuanzheng moved her butt and sat more comfortably.

Shangguan Ziqi was startled and hugged the person tighter, but he immediately relaxed when he felt the big belly.

"Chun Lei went to listen to the second old lady's mumbling in her sleep last night and heard that there was something strange about the old princess's death."

"Oh? So that's why you were so inspired?"

"Yes, the methods of the woman in the backyard are really astonishing. Chunlei heard a sentence: 'I didn't expect that only two slices of ginseng would send you to the underworld'. How do you understand this?" Shangguan Ziqi knew that this sentence contained a message, but he didn't know medicine, so he didn't quite understand it.

"In other words, there's something wrong with that ginseng, and it can kill people if they eat it."

"What could be wrong with ginseng?" Shangguan Ziqi was even more confused.

In his opinion, ginseng is a good thing that can replenish qi and blood and is a precious medicinal material.

"If someone tampered with the ginseng, for example, soaked it in poison and then dried it, wouldn't it become a poisonous ginseng?" Yu Yuanzheng suggested.

"You're right. But this happened a long time ago, and it's too difficult to investigate." Shangguan Ziqi was a little helpless.

"Are the people who served the old princess still in the mansion? You can find them and ask around, but you can't let the Second Madam know. That's one option. Another option is to start directly with the Second Madam, but that's a difficult path. If you ask her directly, she definitely won't admit it. Her mumblings alone won't count."

"Well, I'll discuss this matter with my father."

"Okay, let's go have breakfast. Today we have pan-fried dumplings with minced meat and dried mushroom filling." As soon as Yu Yuanzheng mentioned food, her stomach growled.

She can eat a lot now, but because her belly is big and there is little space in her stomach, she can't eat much in one meal and can only eat two more meals.

"Let's go. I can't let my darlings starve."

After they had breakfast, they slowly went to the main courtyard to pay their respects to the princess.

The atmosphere in the main courtyard was very different today, and every servant had a happy look on their face.

It seems that the princess is pregnant, even the servants are happy.

"Father must have rewarded the servants." Shangguan Ziqi seemed to know what Yu Yuanzheng was thinking.

"Oh, I was wondering why everyone was so cheerful."

As soon as I entered the main hall, I found that the second and third wives were there.

"Greetings, Mother, Second Aunt, and Third Aunt." The two of them greeted each other.

"Didn't I tell you not to come over? Why are you here again?" The princess felt distressed when she saw Yu Yuanzheng's bulging belly.

This is twins, there are only a few cases like this in the whole capital, you can imagine how hard it is.

"It's boring to stay in the yard, so I want to come to my mother's place and have some company." Yu Yuanzheng replied with a smile.

"You kid."

"Yuan Zheng's belly is much bigger than that of the Crown Prince's wife. You need to pay more attention to it." The Second Lady also helped to persuade.

"Thank you, Second Aunt." Yu Yuanzheng said sincerely.

The third wife said nothing, but just looked at her belly calmly. No one knew what she was thinking. Although there was a smile on her face, it seemed fake and forced.

But they were not familiar with each other, and he did not expect her to be sincere.

"Princess sister-in-law, you are pregnant now. The day after tomorrow is the day when the Crown Prince will marry the Lady of Nanhua County. Can you hold on?" The Third Lady shifted her eyes away from Yu Yuanzheng's belly.

"So the prince asked me to call my two brothers and sisters to discuss it together." The princess's face was gentle.

A happy light appeared on her face.

"Mother, you guys discuss it. I'm going to the front yard to talk to father." Shangguan Ziqi had something on his mind, so he didn't stay here to listen to the women's idle chatter.

"Go ahead, and remember to pick up Zheng'er on time to take her back to the yard for dinner." In the princess's heart, Yu Yuanzheng's status was higher than her son's.

After Shangguan Ziqi was pushed away by Qingfeng, several women began to discuss how to hold the wedding the day after tomorrow.

"I have prepared almost everything that needs to be prepared. When the time comes, my third sister-in-law will be in charge of the kitchen, and my second sister-in-law will be responsible for receiving the ladies. The prince will take care of the affairs of the outer courtyard with my second and third brothers, so we don't have to worry about them.

Some elders were brought here by me, and I personally entertained them.

We will go to the outer courtyard lobby together for the ceremony."

"Princess sister-in-law, my sister-in-law has just returned to Beijing and is not familiar with many things in the mansion. Can you switch with my second sister-in-law so that she can get more acquainted with the noble ladies in Beijing?" The Third Lady was not very happy about the job of being in charge of the kitchen and serving food.

Receiving guests is different. As long as you greet them with a smile, you can show your face in front of the ladies, which will make it easier to find a marriage for your children in the future.

The princess didn't expect that her third sister-in-law was dissatisfied with managing the kitchen.

"What do you think, my second brother's wife?" The princess had no choice but to ask the second wife.

"It's okay, let my third sister-in-law receive the guests." The second lady didn't care. She had no face in front of the ladies of the other mansions, so she didn't want to cause trouble.

And at this time in the outer courtyard.

The prince had a gloomy face and his hands were a little red and swollen, and it was obvious that he had smashed them hard on the table.
