Consort of Prince of Ding was indeed dumbfounded.
She had indeed been plotting against the Prince of Jin's Residence, but hadn't found an opportunity.
Before I knew it, I was "pregnant" for over four months.
Both she and those around her thought the plan was foolproof. No one expected that Tang Zhuyun would actually wait to see the stillborn baby.
Consort of Prince of Ding's face turned even paler.
Tang Zhuyun stepped forward with a half-smile and said, "Fortunately, I brought silver needles today, which can lend a hand to Consort of Prince of Ding. You know, if a stillborn child isn't aborted in time, it will affect future fertility. Prince of Ding cannot be without a legitimate son."
Consort of Prince of Ding could speak, Yanran put her index finger to her lips. "Shh... Don't forget, you're all dead now, and the kind of evil spirits who deserve a terrible death."
The old woman remembered the poisonous oath she had just sworn, her face turning a deep purplish-red, and she could no longer utter a word.
Finally, Consort of Prince of Ding said, "No need to trouble Sixth Sister-in-law. I'm in unbearable abdominal pain and just want to return to the manor as soon as possible."
Tang Zhuyun suddenly turned cold and said, "Next time you try to frame someone, you'd better find a different trick. When you were nothing, I was already treating the Emperor's heart ailment!"
If you dare to play these tricks on her, then don't blame her for being impolite.
"And another thing," Tang Zhuyun said with a sneer, "Didn't your sister-in-law consult a renowned doctor to improve her health before she got married? You haven't been able to conceive all these years; haven't you considered the reasons yourself?"
Consort of Prince of Ding's face was as pale as snow.
Does Tang Zhuyun mean that she cannot have children?
"Your sister-in-law is still young, she can continue to work hard, perhaps she still has a chance? But don't be too clingy to the prince, after all, if you're not capable, you should give others a chance."
Yanran: "Wow!"
What a huge melon! Guaranteed to be ripe and sweet.
Tang Zhuyun stopped there, saying lazily, "You servants are really something, you have no sense at all. Even though it's hot, you're just lying on the ground all the time, tsk tsk, how pitiful. Hurry up and go, today is a big day for the Liu family, don't bring bad luck."
Consort of Prince of Ding was furious.
She felt mostly fear.
So, she really can't have children?
In recent years, the women around Tang Zhuyun, including Sangsang, have all been able to get pregnant, which has made many people admire her medical skills immensely.
Since returning this time, people have been frequently visiting our home.
On the one hand, they wanted to curry favor with the Prince's mansion on behalf of their husbands; on the other hand, they all hoped to have more sons to secure their positions.
In this world, a woman's greatest reliance is her son.
A man can betray his son, but a son won't.
Therefore, when Tang Zhuyun Consort of Prince of Ding was infertile, both the general public and Consort of Prince of Ding herself were somewhat convinced.
Everyone secretly mocked Consort of Prince of Ding.
He tried to show off his skills by wielding an axe in front of Lu Ban (a legendary master carpenter), without even considering his own limitations. Now he's been humiliated by the Consort of the Prince of Jin and her daughter. How does that look?
It's one thing to fake a miscarriage normally, but when other people get married and have a joyous occasion, she comes and brings bad luck.
How can one not be angry?
After returning home, Yanran excitedly asked, "Mother, I want to learn medicine from you!"
Tang Zhuyun remained calm and collected. "What is it now?"
She didn't believe it at all.
Yanran said, "You could tell at a glance that the Consort of Prince of Ding was infertile. How amazing!"
Tang Zhuyun: I didn't see anything!
I was bluffing her!
Yanran: "... Then, wouldn't it be easy for someone to see through it?"
She was never able to have children to begin with.
"Why?"
"Just a guess."
Yanran: "..."
"Prince of Ding is a lecherous man; he has so many wives and concubines, yet none of them have gotten pregnant. What do you think?"
"You mean, Prince of Ding is not suitable?"
"Most likely."
What a spineless coward.
However, Tang Zhuyun didn't mind throwing this mudslinging at Consort of Prince of Ding.
Prince of Ding wouldn't think it was because he couldn't have children; he would definitely hear about what happened today and then blame Consort of Prince of Ding.
Tang Zhuyun was unaware that Prince of Ding was "sick with longing" for Mingzhu's portrait and had long disliked Consort of Prince of Ding. After finding out, she went back and had a big fight with her, which made Consort of Prince of Ding sick for half a month.
But that's a story for another time.
To the people of the capital, they were Consort of the Prince of Jin and her daughter—not to be trifled with.
"Tangbao, I'm here!" Ren Yingying rushed in.
Tang Zhuyun was overjoyed. "Yingying, you're back!"
"They're back, they're back."
The two embraced tightly, and Ren Yingying jumped up and down excitedly.
After a long separation, the two naturally had endless things to talk about.
The first thing Ren Yingying would talk about was naturally the matter of the lost Dog Meat.
After hearing this, Tang Zhuyun couldn't help but sigh, "As expected, every cloud has a silver lining. The Dog Meat was found, and you and Qu Nian opened your hearts to each other, eventually getting married..."
"Who actually got married to him?" Ren Yingying asked. "Well, aren't they still dating?"
Tang Zhuyun rolled her eyes at her. "You've been married for many years."
"Sigh, I don't want to get married, I just want to date. Don't you know? Marriage is the grave of love."
"So what are you two now?" Tang Zhuyun asked, "Dancing on a grave?"
Ren Yingying laughed heartily, "Pretty much, that makes a lot of sense."
"Where is Qu Nian? The Prince is also at the residence today. He has instructed them to prepare a banquet to welcome you."
"Qu Nian brought me here first, so I could talk to you, and then he went back to the Prince's Mansion himself."
The two sisters were chatting away, while Qu Nian, seeing Qu Hua rushing towards her as soon as she saw her, instinctively dodged away.
"Qu Hua, what's wrong with you!"
He had to protect his handsome face, after all, Ren Yingying loved his face the most.
"Brother, seeing you is like seeing my own brother!" Qu Hua rushed into Qu Nian's arms.
Qu Nian: "..."
What kind of nonsense are you spouting!
What do you mean by "like seeing her own brother"? Isn't he her own brother?
This time, he didn't slap me first thing in the face—a miracle indeed!
Oh, Qu Nian suddenly remembered the blue glasses he had given her.
It seems Qu Hua likes it very much, so she became a human today.
"Brother, you need to get Mu Ziyu out of here right now, get her out of here, get her out of here!"
My loved ones have finally arrived.
For the first time, Qu Hua felt that this older brother was necessary.
Qu Nian was stunned. "Mu Ziyu is in the Prince's mansion?"
At this moment, a tall man slowly walked out from behind Qu Hua, bowed to Qu Nian, and said, "Big brother is back."
Qu Nian: "..."
Who are you?
Mu Ziyu?
What's wrong with this person? When did he secretly go to Yingying to have his face swapped?
I don't recognize her at all!
"Who's your older brother!" Qu Hua shouted angrily, "Get out! Get out!"
Qu Nian thought of the person she had brought back and suddenly had a bad feeling.
