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

The original owner had heard this sentence countless times in her previous life. She really thought that it was because of her bad fortune that she killed her husband on the night of her wedding.

Therefore, the original owner felt very guilty and never resisted the abuse in the Fenyang Palace. She lived a cowardly life with her maid.

But the one who came this time was Meng Wen Yao. On the way here, she had already listened to Hua Mian's detailed explanation, so she naturally knew what this marriage was all about.

She laughed sarcastically, "This marriage was originally proposed by your family, saying that the eldest son met me in the temple and fell in love with me, so he came to propose marriage. But today I learned that the eldest son had fallen off his horse three days ago when I went to the temple. Miss Xie, did your eldest brother go to the temple after he was paralyzed?"

"I've thought about it, and the best explanation is that your eldest brother is paralyzed, and your mother wants to find a virtuous woman to serve her. Unfortunately, I was chosen. Is that right or not?"

"Ms. Xie, tell me, am I the one who brought bad luck to your elder brother, or is it your whole family who deceived me into marriage and dragged me into this quagmire?!"

Hearing these words, Concubine Bao stopped crying. She didn't expect that Meng Wen Yao's guess was absolutely correct. At that time, Xie Nanan was paralyzed in bed after the fall. He knew very well that if the news got out, it would be difficult for him to find a good wife.

Therefore, she kept the secret strictly and immediately chose the Meng family, which had a good reputation. She hoped that even if Meng Wenyao knew that Xie Nanan was paralyzed in the future, the Meng family would not make a fuss because of their family tradition.

The virtuous Meng Wenyao will also follow her husband wherever he goes and serve Xie Nanan obediently to gain a reputation for being virtuous.

Who knew that her plans had been discovered? If Meng Wenyao made a scene, it would be just the wedding tonight and they hadn't held the ceremony yet. If the Meng family knew about it, they would try their best to cancel the engagement.

In that case, not only will Xie Nanan not be able to be buried in the ancestral tomb, but he will also be lonely and helpless underground. Will he be arranged to have a ghost marriage?

It would be better to keep Meng Wen Yao and adopt a son in the future, so that Xie Nanan can be considered a complete person.

She nervously pulled Prince Fenyang's sleeve and said softly, "Prince?"

Prince Fenyang also knew that if the quarrel got out of hand, it would be detrimental to the palace. By then, Meng Wen Yao's return to her parents' home would be a small matter, but the entire palace would become a joke.

He coughed and said sincerely, "My dear wife, I don't know where you heard the rumor. When our palace first proposed marriage, my dear was in good health. He got injured in the past few days. There is absolutely no such thing as a marriage fraud. Don't believe in the nonsense and make a scene to make everyone laugh at you."

"As for the boss' suicide today, it was purely an accident. No one is to blame. Xue'er, stop messing around and apologize to your sister-in-law."

Prince Fenyang knew very well that no matter whether it was the princess or Meng Wenyao, if a quarrel broke out tonight, it would do more harm than good to the palace.

Therefore, he could no longer allow Concubine Bao and Xie Ruxue to go crazy. The most important thing now was to make things progress smoothly first.

As for whether Xie Nanan committed suicide, we can investigate it slowly later. The feud between Concubine Bao and the princess has been going on for a long time.

At his command, Xie Ruxue stomped her feet in anger and refused to apologize.

"Father, my eldest brother is dead, can't I say a few words? What did I do wrong?"

Meng Wenyao sneered, "Miss Xie doesn't know what she did wrong, and I don't know what I did wrong either. Just because my Meng family has a good reputation and the girls of the Meng family are so virtuous, can we allow others to bully and slander us? It just so happens that the guests haven't left yet. If Miss Xie feels wronged, we can find someone to judge for justice."

"Oh, by the way, today's guests also include officials from the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple. We can have them investigate whether the eldest son committed suicide or was killed by me. If it was me, I will immediately bang my head against the wall and apologize to the eldest son. If it has nothing to do with me, Miss Xie, how do you explain your slander of me as a murderer?"

Meng Wenyao pressed on step by step without giving in. Fenyang Wang was afraid that there would be trouble, so he glared at Xie Ruxue and said, "Apologize quickly."

Xie Ruxue wanted to act coquettishly, but seeing Meng Wenyao's cold and tough look, she lowered her head reluctantly.

"I was too quick to speak. I shouldn't have said that."

She leaned forward slightly and stood up. With such a casual attitude, anyone could see that she had no sincerity at all.

Thinking of the original owner being bullied in various ways in the original plot, Meng Wen Yao felt angry.

"Miss Xie is quick to speak. If this gets out, the mansion will be in chaos. Today you say I am unlucky for my husband, tomorrow someone will say you are unlucky for my brother, and the day after tomorrow someone will say that a concubine is unlucky for her son. If everyone keeps speaking so freely, will everyone in the mansion have bad luck?"

"Besides, my marriage to your eldest brother was based on our horoscopes. Since Miss Xie thinks our horoscopes are incompatible, I don't want to stay in the palace and try to get rid of other people. It's better for me to return to my Meng family before the wedding is completed, so that if your family suffers any misfortune, I won't be blamed on me."

Prince Fenyang was so angry at Meng Wen Yao's words that he didn't know what to say. He chose Meng Wen Yao because Concubine Bao made inquiries from many sources. She heard that this girl had a gentle personality, good family education, and would definitely be a good daughter-in-law who would work hard and never complain in the future. That's why she decided to marry her to take care of Xie Nanan.

How come she refused to accept even a word of grievance after just entering the marriage today, and kept asking to go back to her parents' home? He even suspected that Concubine Bao had been deceived.

He said with a sullen face: "Ms. Meng, the wedding has already been held, so don't talk about going home anymore. I miss your family and they don't want you to go back to your parents' home right after you became a monk."

"Your Majesty, I am doing this for the good of the palace. You just heard from Miss Xie that my fate is not compatible with the palace. If something happens to the palace in the future, it will all be my fault."

Prince Fenyang was unable to refute Meng Wenyao. He glared at Xie Ruxue and said, "I asked you to apologize, but what have you been doing for so long?"

"I, didn't I apologize?" Xie Ruxue asked in surprise.

The princess who was watching the fun almost laughed out loud. She had been suppressed by Concubine Bao for half her life and thought that she would never have a chance to make a breakthrough. Unexpectedly, Concubine Bao married a tough daughter-in-law. She didn't even have a chance to drink tea before she was crushed by her. There would be a lot of fun to watch from now on.

She smiled and tried to smooth things over, "Your Highness, Xue'er has obviously been spoiled by Mrs. Bao. If I were to ask you, this child is grown up now and will be betrothed in the next two years, if she still can't speak well, she will be embarrassed at the end of the day, but her in-laws will look down on her character. Your Highness, don't you think so?"

Prince Fenyang was having a headache. He had a hard time today, and everyone was looking for trouble. He glanced at Xie Ruxue impatiently. This time, even Concubine Bao could feel Prince Fenyang's irritability.
