After marrying the heirless prince, I gave birth to three children

Gift?

When Zhang met Xie Yao's smiling eyes, alarm bells rang in her heart!

She had not forgotten the gift Xie Yao had given her last time—Xie Cheng's mistress and a pair of illegitimate children.

This time...what is it again?

When Xie Yao's "gift" mentioned Xie Yujiao, Zhang broke out in a cold sweat and her legs felt inexplicably weak.

She didn't realize that she had already believed Xie Yao's words in her heart without any verification.

"you……"

"Show the guest away." Xie Yao interrupted Zhang's questioning and spoke without any doubt.

She is already very kind.

Regarding Xie Yujiao's matter, Zhang was reminded many times.

But Zhang never believed it once.

Zhang was about to ask something else, but Zhu Qing had already walked up to her and said, "Madam, please."

Zhang hesitated for a moment and reminded again: "Time is limited, consider it as soon as possible."

"Princess."

Zhu Xin was a little worried, "Mrs. Xie..."

"Don't worry about it." Xie Yao said, "She won't have the heart to think about this matter when she gets home."

Zhu Qing personally escorted Zhang to the gate of the Crown Prince's Mansion, smiling, "Madam, please rest assured. I will deliver the person the Crown Princess ordered as soon as possible."

It is naturally impossible for those people to live in the Prince's Mansion.

Zhang's forehead jumped and she had a bad feeling.

He almost subconsciously wanted to say that those people didn't need to be sent, but he was afraid that he would miss any news related to Xie Yujiao.

His lips moved... and finally he closed his mouth, turned around silently and got into the carriage.

Xie Yao has really changed.

She used to be very well-behaved and docile, but now it seems... it was all just a disguise.

He is quite scheming!

Now that she has married well and is now a wealthy woman, she doesn't hide her feelings at all and is extremely arrogant.

She was a little scared when talking to Xie Yao.

But thinking about what she had just said, which Xie Yao had not denied, Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that Jiaojiao was right, Xie Yao was indeed pregnant with a bastard.

While Zhang was secretly delighted that she had found Xie Yao's weakness, she couldn't help but secretly curse Xie Yao for seeking death and bringing trouble to the Xie family.

It should be resolved as soon as possible.

Zhang was in a state of anxiety and did not notice that although Xie Yao did not deny her words, she did not admit them either.

Zhang just returned to the Xie family.

Then the housekeeper came forward and said, "Madam, someone just sent a few beggars to the Xie family."

A gift from Xie Yao!

Zhang's eyelids twitched. A beggar? What could a beggar have to do with Jiaojiao?

"Where is the person?" Zhang frowned and subconsciously wanted to take the person away. The Xie family is now... in a mess.

The housekeeper lowered his head, "...He was taken away by Miss Qingqing."

That bitch!

Zhang naturally knew that Miss Qingqing's confidence came from her father Xie and her two children, but she was still very angry.

Especially thinking that those people might be related to Jiaojiao, Zhang walked towards Miss Qingqing's residence.

Before Zhang entered the house, she heard Miss Qingqing's voice coming from inside. She immediately rushed in, her eyes sweeping over the people in the courtyard, "Take him away!"

"and many more!"

Miss Qingqing spoke immediately. She looked weak and frail, with a pair of round and innocent almond-shaped eyes. Although she had given birth to two children, she still looked very young.

"Madam, these people..."

Zhang was too lazy to pay attention to her. "As a guest, you should have the awareness of a guest."

"Step aside!"

Mother Liu stepped forward, pushed Miss Qingqing away, and asked Zhang to leave.

Miss Qingqing looked at the backs of Zhang and his group with an indignant look on her face, but after they left, she laughed heartily and asked, "You didn't want me to know?"

"I want to know!"

She turned and walked towards the backyard.

……

After sending Zhang away, Xie Yao had a few days of peace and quiet.

Xiao Ji has been quite busy lately.

In the eyes of outsiders, he stayed in the Prince's Mansion, but in fact he often went out secretly. Xie Yao was happy to cover for him and read books and account books in the mansion.

This day.

However, Xiao Ji returned to the Prince's Mansion early and stayed with Xie Yao.

No matter when or where, as long as Xie Yao raised his eyes, he would be able to meet Xie Yao's eyes.

There is anticipation in the bright eyes.

It would be fine once or twice, but after it happened so many times, Xie Yao started to feel a little strange.

Your Highness...what's wrong?

She frowned slightly, thinking deeply, "Your Highness..."

As soon as she spoke, she heard Xiao Ji's almost impatient response, "I'm here."

Xie Yao's fingertips curled slightly as they rested on the account book, and she smiled at Xiao Ji, "Your Highness, aren't you busy today?"

He always follows her around and is so clingy.

Xiao Ji's smile froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal, "Not busy."

Fine.

Xie Yao continued to look at the account book, while Xiao Ji sat beside her and watched her.

It was already time for dinner.

Today's dinner seems to be particularly sumptuous, but since Xie Yao became pregnant, the meals in the mansion have been personally reviewed by the mansion doctor, who has formulated a plan that is both sumptuous and nutritious.

It's not surprising.

But Xie Yao felt that His Highness seemed absent-minded today.

She personally served the dishes to Xiao Ji, "Is there something on your mind, Your Highness?"

Xiao Ji: “…No.”

For some unknown reason, Xie Yao even heard a hint of resentment in it.

Is there something she has done wrong recently?

Until going to bed, Xiao Ji's eyes would look at Xie Yao from time to time, but the light in his eyes became dimmer and dimmer.

When Xie Yao was half asleep and half awake, she heard Xiao Ji ask, "Yaoyao, don't you have anything to tell me?"

"What?" Xie Yao suddenly became more sober.

However, Xiao Ji had already turned his back and fell asleep with his back to her. Xie Yao called out a few more times, but His Highness did not answer.

Feeling sleepy, Xie Yao quickly fell asleep on Xiao Ji's broad and warm back...

Xiao Ji: "..."

He turned around, looked at Xie Yao's sleeping face, and muttered in a low voice, almost gritting his teeth, "Xie Yao, you have no heart!"

Xiao Ji was "idle" for that day, and was extremely busy in the following days.

He goes out early and comes back late, and except for showing up on time for dinner, Xie Yao never sees him.

This night.

Xie Yao forced herself to stay awake and waited for Xiao Ji to return to the room.

Xiao Ji stepped into the room and paused slightly when he saw Xie Yao sitting on the bed reading a book.

"Your Highness."

Xie Yao spoke quickly, put down the book, got out of bed and walked towards Xiao Ji. She pulled Xiao Ji, who had obviously taken a shower in the study, into the room.

He yawned and said, "You're back."

Xie Yao's eyes were stained with tears, and she looked confused and cute. Xiao Ji's eyes flashed with tenderness, "Why don't you sleep if you are sleepy?"

Xie Yao blinked, "Wait for His Highness."

She raised her hand and hooked it around Xiao Ji's neck, "Your Highness, you haven't been with me for many days."

For an old married couple, there are some things that don’t need to be explained too clearly.

Xie Yao noticed that Xiao Ji's body reacted almost the moment she touched him.

Xiao Ji picked her up by the waist and put her on the bed.

Xie Yao waited for Xiao Ji's kiss.

But all he heard was his hard voice, "It's getting late, Crown Princess, go to bed early."

Xiao Ji lay down with his back to her, "Go to sleep."

Xie Yao: ???

She widened her eyes and looked at Xiao Ji in disbelief.

Your Highness... reject her!

This was the first rejection after the two had in-depth communication.

Moreover, His Highness clearly wants it very much!
