The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

The old woman explained the matter in such detail that Fang Hui was immediately cleared of all charges. However, no one was a fool and it was obvious that this was an attempt to help Fang Hui take the blame.

Yongping Bo looked at Fang Hui expressionlessly and sighed: "What do you want to say?"

Slowly meeting Yongping Bo's eyes, Fang Hui's numb half of her body slowly warmed up.

She is the legitimate daughter of Prince Kang and a noble lady in the palace!

She was never involved in those dirty things. When she was in Prince Kang's Mansion, Princess Kang would help her deal with any problems.

During the years in the Yongping Marquis's Mansion, there were absolutely no private matters to deal with in the mansion.

Over the years, she has been noble and holy, and has been high and mighty. She was caught in the act like this and was completely humiliated.

And the way Yongping Bo looked at her, was he going to interrogate her?

A peasant who climbed up from poverty can now stand high and mighty and interrogate her, a princess?

She straightened her chest, raised her chin, and looked directly at Earl Yongping: "Shen Xiongming, if you hadn't married me, you might not even have been able to climb to the third rank. How dare you interrogate me now?"

Being scolded for relying on a woman to get to the top is a lifelong pain for Earl Yongping, but fortunately, people only scold him behind his back. Today is the first time he was scolded to his face, and it was by the princess who always put him down all day long.

No matter how calm he was, Earl Yongping's defense was still broken.

He held back his anger and responded bluntly, "Fang Hui, I fought hard for my title. Without you, I wouldn't be much worse. You've been married to my Shen family for nearly twenty years, and you've been dominating me all the time, but I never complained about you. A woman should obey her husband after marriage, and I'm questioning you in accordance with etiquette. What's the rule in your Kang Wang Mansion? Women don't know the three obediences and four virtues?"

"Have you forgotten, Princess? You are a princess, not a princess, and I am not a consort!"

It is said that the people who know you best can always stab you in the back most accurately. In these years, Fang Hui was still outshined by several princesses in her social life in the capital.

Now that Shen Xiongming was mocking his low status in person, he stopped trying to be arrogant and immediately jumped up as if his tail had been stepped on.

"Shen Xiongming, you still have the nerve to say that. Father had already asked the Emperor for permission to confer me the title of princess, but it was you who knelt at my feet and begged me that you didn't want to be a consort, so I married you as a princess. I sacrificed so much for you, how have you repaid me!"

"You concealed the fact that you had a wife and children, and you were not loyal to me at all. You relied on my Kang Palace to climb up step by step. You have only been a baron for a few years, but you are thinking of passing the title to your eldest son. Do you think that I, Fang Hui, am just a stepping stone for you?"

"If my son cannot become the crown prince, no one will want the Yongping Marquis's Mansion."

"I'm not afraid to tell you that I was the one who poisoned the West Wing. What can you do to me? Divorce me? Dream on."

She flicked her sleeves and left, leaving Yongping Earl humiliated and scolded.

Yongping Bo had tried hard to maintain his dignity for half his life, but Fang Hui's scolding shattered it. He sat there like a sculpture, and no one dared to disturb him.

After a long time, Shi Nan'an coughed dryly, and Yongping Bo came back to his senses.

Ever since Shi Nanan moved into the west wing, he has never called him father. Now both the couple have been poisoned by Fang Hui. Earl Yongping feels that if he does not step up, Shi Nanan will never be able to open up to him in this life.

More importantly, he could not explain to Minister Meng that the two children who had been raised well had suffered such a disaster just one month after coming to his side. He felt guilty towards his old friend and towards Shi.

He lowered his head and smiled bitterly, and when he looked up again his expression was determined.

"Come here, lock the main courtyard. No one is allowed to enter or leave without my order."

This means that Fanghui will be confined to the main courtyard. Although her food, clothing, housing and transportation will not be too bad, this is also a blatant imprisonment. From now on, Fanghui will no longer have any face in the eyes of outsiders.

"Father, if you do this, will Prince Kang's Mansion be dissatisfied?" Shen Chengwang said timidly.

"Humph, Prince Kang's Mansion didn't look for me, but I still wanted to look for Prince Kang's Mansion. How could they raise such a vicious daughter!"

"Also, your eldest son will be adopted under Nan'an's name, and I will also leave the crown prince to Nan'an."

This matter ended in such a fantastic way. When Meng Wenyao and Shi Nanan returned, they couldn't help but sigh.

"It is said that the love between Yongping Bo and Fanghui is deeply touching, but I didn't expect that they both have such deep resentment."

Shi Nanan did not follow Meng Wenyao's gossip. He glanced around the yard and said, "I'll arrange for more guards to come over, in case Fang Hui really goes crazy and sends assassins over."

Meng Wenyao immediately became nervous and pulled Shi Nan'an's sleeve and said, "No way, why don't we just not live here? It's too scary."

"Don't be afraid. She doesn't dare to come during the day. Just hold me tight at night."

"Okay, you scared me on purpose!"

The two of them got into a fight while talking and laughing, and the maids tactfully withdrew.

On the other side, Wu Qinfang returned to the room and experienced a cycle of life and death, and finally realized that her position was precarious.

The reason why she could stay in the Bo's Mansion as a daughter-in-law was because the Bo's Mansion still had face. If everyone lost their face in the future, she would have no ability to protect herself.

Moreover, today, Earl Yongping bluntly said that he would adopt Shen Chengwang's eldest son to Shi Nan'an, which means that Shen Chengwang does not have to have a son with her, as long as he has a son.

Maybe one day, a maidservant will give birth to a son, and as long as he is adopted into the west wing, he will be the Earl of Yongping.

Moreover, this son has nothing to do with her. She is his biological mother, not his stepmother. How can she gain a foothold in the Yongping Marquis's Mansion in the future?

No, she couldn't just sit there and wait for death. She couldn't let anyone give birth to Shen Chengwang's son. From now on, the heir to the Yongping Marquis's Mansion could only be her bloodline.

After thinking it over, Wu Qinfang decided that she should get pregnant quickly while Fang Hui was still imprisoned, otherwise she would not know how to deal with Fang Hui when she was released.

That night, she asked someone to invite Shen Chengwang to her room under the pretext of Quanshui and Fanghui.

After Shen Chengwang entered, he was so disgusted that he didn't even want to sit down and drink a cup of tea. He said impatiently, "Didn't you say that there is a way to get Uncle to take back Mother's house arrest? Tell me, I'll listen to you for now."

Wu Qinfang looked at the prepared tea. Shen Chengwang did not move. He smiled self-deprecatingly: "My husband, do you know why my father was so angry? And why did he imprison my mother at home instead of in the ancestral temple?"

"Why keep me in suspense? If you have something to say, just say it quickly. I'm busy!" Shen Chengwang urged impatiently.

Wu Qinfang pushed the tea in front of her forward again and began to quote from classics, analyzing all aspects of the relationship between Yongping Bo and Fang Hui.

At first, Shen Chengwang thought it made sense, but the more he listened, the more he felt that Wu Qinfang was talking in circles. He said angrily, "Get to the point. I don't have time to listen to your nonsense."
