The entire Marquis's mansion regrets it? Too late, their little one has become the darling of t

Shen Jinzhu hadn't expected her to be so perceptive. After hesitating for a long time, she still revealed the rumors circulating in the mansion.

"I don't know who spread the rumor, but it's said that Yaoyao is a demon, that the death of the prince consort and your illness are all because of her. That's why Father and Mother want to expel Yaoyao from the clan and don't want me to take her back..."

Yu Ningyao never expected that even while she was at the princess's residence, the rumors would still not stop.

How could Cui Ruixin hate her so much?

She had already come out to seek refuge, yet they still wanted to exterminate her clan.

[System, if I'm exterminated from my clan, will it count as me failing my mission and take away my rewards?]

This is what she cares about most.

Only after receiving confirmation from the system that it wouldn't happen did she feel relieved.

Princess Ning Le never expected that the hidden truth would become a scapegoat pinned on Yu Ningyao, and she immediately felt extremely guilty.

If this child is labeled as a demon or evil spirit, he will likely be unable to establish himself in the capital in the future.

The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became, and she coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Your Highness!" Lan Yue exclaimed in surprise, quickly patting her back to help her catch her breath, bringing her tea to rinse her mouth, and urging the palace maids to fetch the imperial physician.

Shen Jinzhu was also startled.

Will she anger the princess to death?

Will this crime be pinned on her daughter again?

Princess Ning Le waved her hand: "There's no need to summon the imperial physician. I will make my own decision on this matter. None of this is the Second Miss's fault. She is by no means a demon. She is my lucky star."

Hearing Princess Ning Le's words, Shen Jinzhu finally felt relieved.

"In that case, let the Second Miss stay in the Princess's residence for now. Once the rumors outside have died down, I will send her back." Princess Ning Le felt guilty, so when Shen Jinzhu and the others left, she bestowed upon them a great deal of good stuff.

Cui Ruixin was very puzzled.

What exactly is the princess's attitude?

She couldn't help but ask Shen Jinzhu, "Third sister-in-law, what does the princess mean? Why won't she let us take Ning Yao away?"

"His Highness is fond of Ning Yao, so he intends to keep her here for a while longer. As for the claim that she is a demon, that is pure rumor," Shen Jinzhu replied firmly.

Cui Ruixin didn't expect this move to fail again.

If Yu Ningyao really wins the princess's favor, what will happen to her Weiwei in the future?

Upon returning to the Marquis's residence, the old Marquis and his wife breathed a long sigh of relief when they saw that Princess Ning Le had not released them and had even bestowed gifts upon them.

"If that's the case, then let's postpone the extermination of the clan."

Cui Ruixin grew angrier the more she thought about it.

"How come this little brat is so lucky? No matter how I try to get rid of her, I can't get her out of the mansion. Do you think she's my nemesis?" Back in her courtyard, she couldn't help but complain to her nanny, Madam Li.

“Ever since she arrived, you’ve had a lot of bad luck. Even the Third Madam, who used to be on good terms with you, doesn’t seem to like associating with us anymore.” Madam Li nodded in agreement.

Her words amplified Cui Ruixin's existing dissatisfaction by more than tenfold.

"No, we must get rid of her." Cui Rui thought for a moment and ordered someone to spread the word that Yu Ningyao was a jinx.

Previously, the news was only circulating in the Marquis's residence, but now she wants the entire capital to know.

"Remember, do things discreetly," she instructed in a low voice.

"Yes."

……

Soon, rumors spread like wildfire throughout the capital that Yu Ningyao had caused the death of her husband and the illness of her daughter.

Even Liu Huayao, the madam of Zuihualou, heard the news.

After Yu Ningyao was taken away that day, she went to find out what had happened.

After inquiring, they learned that the child was not the Marquis's biological son.

The Marquis's mansion is holding a grand banquet, which must be because they value this child.

But that damned, fraudulent Taoist priest ruined everything.

Fortunately, the princess was kind and took the child away.

But now that these rumors are circulating, it's uncertain whether the princess's residence will still tolerate that child.

"Poor little darling, I wonder if she'll be thrown away again this time." Liu Huayao sighed.

"If it gets thrown away, could you give me a heads-up beforehand so I can send someone to pick up my little darling?"

The maid Cui'er standing to the side was very puzzled.

"Granny, isn't that child a jinx? How dare you take him in?"

"What do you know?" Liu Huayao glared at her.

"That Taoist priest is most likely a fraud. The commotion this time is definitely a power struggle within the inner quarters. My sweetheart is just a pawn being used as a cover."

"Oh." Cui'er scratched her head.

It seems the power struggles and infighting within wealthy and powerful families are far more intense than those in their Drunken Flower Brothel.

"Go, have Erniu keep an eye on the Princess's residence. If they try to abandon the child, don't make a sound, just quietly bring the child back." Liu Huayao still couldn't bear to part with the child.

Firstly, that child is indeed a promising talent.

Secondly, the child was so well-behaved that she rarely felt relaxed when she was with her.

If no one is willing to take the child in, she won't hesitate to take him back to the Drunken Flower Pavilion.

……

Princess Ning Le kept people watching outside.

She was so angry that she trembled when she learned that the rumors were spreading more and more widely.

"What does the death of the prince consort have to do with an innocent child?"

"Who on earth is so vicious as to not even spare a child?"

Princess Ning Le angrily questioned him, when suddenly she felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen. She clutched her stomach and cried out in pain.

"Princess, you, you're bleeding!" Lan Yue, who was standing nearby, was startled when she saw the blood flowing down her legs and immediately sent someone to fetch the imperial physician.

Princess Ning Le fainted from the pain.

When she woke up again, she was surrounded by palace maids who looked terrified.

She glanced at her stomach instinctively.

Her voice trembled as she asked, "Is my child gone?"

Lan Yue nodded, her eyes red.

Princess Ning Le murmured, "It's alright. Anyway, your father never hoped for your birth, and even I, as your mother, once thought of giving up on you. It's better that you didn't come. In your next life, may you be born into a good family."

Tears fell silently from the corners of her eyes, and the palace maids all began to sob.

Princess Ning Le was depressed and developed a high fever again.

The entire government was busy once again.

Cui Ruixin secretly sent someone to inquire and learned from the imperial physician that Princess Ning Le's child had not been saved.

She scoffed, "I told you, that wild girl is incredibly wicked. Princess Ning Le didn't believe me, and now look what's happened, the child is gone."

She was still upset about what happened that day.

Princess Ning Le actually sent Shen Jinzhu, the mistress of the Marquis's mansion, away to speak with her alone.

So when she heard that Princess Ning Le had lost her child, she was not sad at all; on the contrary, she was quite happy.

After all, that wild girl Yu Ningyao would definitely be implicated.

Even if Princess Ning Le doesn't mind, how could the Imperial Concubine not mind?

She was determined to get the news of this to Consort Huo.

Before she could finish planning, bad news came back.

Yu Kangjing has arrested that charlatan Taoist priest and brought him back to the capital!
