Quick Transmigration: The Pregnant Little Fairy is Pampered by the Heirless Boss

The person who arrived was none other than the Second Prince's Consort.

The last time she came to the General's Mansion was to invite Ji Xiaosong to the Spring Banquet.

It was at that banquet that they wanted their unborn child to die.

Last night, the Second Prince did something reckless, and today he sent his princess to his door.

Both Ji Xiaosong and Xiao Shen had a guess about what she was there for.

"Husband, you go to the front courtyard first. Now that the Second Prince's Consort has arrived, I will go and see her by myself."

"I'll stay with you. If she tries to make things difficult for you, I'll be able to speak up for her."

"It's alright. If the Second Prince were to come today, it would be appropriate for you to go see him. But since the Second Prince did this, he doesn't dare to show his face and only dares to let his wife mediate. It shouldn't be a difficult matter."

Having been the general's wife for so long, Ji Xiaosong's position as mistress wasn't for nothing.

After being persuaded by Ji Xiaosong, Xiao Shen left.

He has other things to do. Last night, the Second Prince blatantly went to the manor to snatch people. If he doesn't do something, how can he protect his wife and children?

After washing up, Ji Xiaosong changed into more formal clothes before going to see the Second Prince's Consort.

Since she's already waited so long, it doesn't matter if she waits another half hour.

"Greetings, Second Prince's Consort."

Ji Xiaosong bowed slightly, her manner casual, her expression neither humble nor arrogant.

The Second Prince's wife frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes, but she still forced a friendly demeanor and said, "Madam Xiao, please rise. We are old acquaintances, there's no need for such formalities."

Although the displeasure in her eyes was very brief, Ji Xiaosong still caught it.

The steward said that the Second Prince's Consort had been waiting here for two hours.

Ji Xiaosong straightened up, a faint smile playing on her lips, and said, "Second Prince's Consort, what brings you here today?"

"I heard that Madam Xiao had some trouble at the Ji family's estate last night, so I came here to visit her."

"The Second Prince's Consort should know better than anyone else what exactly happened. Not to mention that the Second Prince is still just a prince, even His Majesty would never do something like stealing a subject's wife."

Ji Xiaosong had no intention of feigning friendship with the Second Prince's wife. After arguing with Xiao Shen for so long last night, although she had rested during the day, she still wanted to lie down for a while longer.

Dealing with people is tiring work, and it's best to get things done quickly.

The Second Prince's wife's face stiffened, and she forced a smile, saying, "Madam Ji, I am truly apprehensive about what you have to say. However, since you are so straightforward, I will not beat around the bush. Last night's events were indeed due to the Second Prince's impulsiveness, and he has been filled with remorse since returning home. I have come today to apologize to you on his behalf."

As she spoke, the Second Prince's Consort gave a wink to the maid beside her. The maid understood and quickly presented the lavish gifts she had prepared together with several other matrons.

Several old women carefully carried several exquisite boxes, while maids gently lifted the lids to reveal the treasures inside.

"Madam Ji, these are just some small gifts, I hope you won't find them too offensive. This jade bracelet is of excellent quality, a precious tribute from the Western Regions; this brocade is top-grade silk from Jiangnan; and these gold-inlaid jade ruyi scepters are all a token of the Second Prince's goodwill, hoping to make up for the mistake of last night."

The Second Prince's wife wore a fawning smile, but her eyes were fixed on Ji Xiaosong, observing her reaction.

Ji Xiaosong glanced at the gifts, her expression unchanged, but inwardly she sneered.

To think that these things could make her forget the horror of last night is simply wishful thinking.

"No need for gifts. The General's Mansion has been passed down for generations and we don't lack those things. Second Prince's Consort should take these with her as soon as possible, lest they be thrown away and cause embarrassment for both of us."

Upon hearing this, the Second Prince's wife could no longer maintain her smile, and her anger was palpable: "Madam Ji, don't be so stubborn! It's your good fortune that the Second Prince has taken a liking to you. Now that he's willing to apologize, you're so ungrateful. You should think carefully; if you insist on opposing the Second Prince, the General's Mansion may not be able to protect you."

Seeing that Ji Xiaosong remained unmoved, the Second Prince's Consort changed her tune and tried to entice her, saying, "As long as you are willing to obey the Second Prince, who is, after all, a member of the royal family, you and the General's Mansion will enjoy endless wealth and honor. With your looks and skills, you will definitely have a place in the mansion."

"Ah!"

Ji Xiaosong scoffed, "If I go to the Second Prince's residence, will I be his principal wife or a concubine?"

“The Ji family is no small family either. You will be greeted with the courtesy due to a concubine upon entering the mansion.”

"Why would I give up being a proper wife to become a concubine in the household of a prince who has no heir? Have I lost my mind? Where do you get the audacity to try and persuade me?"

"How can an ordinary family compare to the royal family? Even though Xiao Shen holds a high official position, doesn't he still have to bow and kowtow when he sees the Second Prince?"

"What the Second Prince's Consort said makes sense, but why did the Second Prince specifically request me to enter the residence? Doesn't the Second Prince's Consort understand?"

Ji Xiaosong stared intently at the Second Prince's wife, as if trying to see right through her.

"If I'm not mistaken, he's after my ability to bear children, a quality unmatched by ordinary women. Tell me, if all the Second Prince's children were born from my womb, how long would your position remain secure?"

“I am the legitimate daughter of a noble family. Even if I cannot bear children, I will surely be supported and loved by my family. But you are different. The Ji family cannot compare to my maternal family.”

"There's no comparison. My father is a high-ranking official of the second rank. If you insist on taking me away today, and I harbor resentment in the future, do you think I won't be ruthless? General Xiao has never had the thought of taking a concubine since we married. Do you think I'll be capable of anything? If I were to use this on the Second Prince, even if he only has a brief moment of affection for me, I would definitely do everything in my power to bring you down!"

Ji Xiaosong's voice was filled with ruthlessness, which frightened the Second Prince's Consort so much that she took several steps back.

"Second Prince's Consort, you are a wise woman and should know how to make the right choice. General Xiao will definitely protect me. Second Prince, don't even think about harming me. Don't waste your time."

Having said that, Ji Xiaosong resolutely turned around, refusing to look at the Second Prince's Consort again, and shouted, "Show her out!"

"You! You! Stubborn to the end! Let's go!"

The Second Prince's wife was furious. She flung her sleeves and stormed off with a group of maids and nannies, carrying the gifts.

That evening, Xiao Shen wandered around the city gate before heading to the military camp in the suburbs.

He did not return home for several days in a row.

Two weeks later, late one night, a man reeking of blood climbed in through Ji Xiaosong's window.

"Who?"

Ji Xiaosong had just woken up when she heard a noise at the window when suddenly someone covered her mouth and nose.
