Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

Mrs. Shen looked at Shen Rouruo and saw that she didn't look fake, so she asked, "What kind of medicine did you put in this fish maw? Do you know how powerful it is?"

"Use medicine?" Shen Rouruo widened her eyes and looked at the fish maw in surprise. "Mother said that the fish maw was drugged?"

"Don't you understand the inside story?" Mrs. Shen asked curiously.

Shen Rouruo's face suddenly turned dark, and there was deep anger in her eyes, "I took this from the warehouse, and it passed through Cheng's hands!"

Cheng is the fourth prince’s wife.

"Mrs. Cheng has no grudge against Mrs. Wei, so why do you want to harm her?" Mrs. Shen asked.

"She doesn't want to harm the Xiao family, she wants to harm me!" Shen Rouruo almost gnashed her teeth, "No wonder I can't get pregnant, this matter must be related to her!"

Seeing Shen Rouruo like this, Mrs. Shen already believed her three points in her heart, and lowered her voice, "What's going on? Tell me."

Shen Rouruo's face was gloomy, her eyes were filled with resentment, she looked at the fish maw that Mrs. Shen brought over, her teeth almost bitten to pieces, "Years ago, the palace gave me some fish maw as a reward, and asked someone to bring me some. At that time, I didn't dare to eat it rashly, and I asked the doctor to check it carefully, and the doctor said there was nothing wrong.

I just stewed some, and after eating it, I didn't think there was anything wrong. Later, I heard from others that Mrs. Wei was pregnant. I was thinking about what to give her. Then I heard from others that there were some fish maws from the palace, and I just asked someone to take them and ask you to give them to Mrs. Wei sincerely. How could I know...

Cheng was so vicious that she put the drugged fish maw in the warehouse and asked me to take it away, which almost harmed Mrs. Wei. "

"How do you know it was Cheng who gave you the medicine? And how do you know that the reason you can't get pregnant is because of this fish maw?" Mrs. Shen was still a little suspicious. She looked at Shen Rouruo with a frown, trying to find some clues from her face.

"Mother, I am not stupid. How can Cheng do anything to me? She just wants to stop me from getting pregnant. Besides, she has never touched the fish maw since she got pregnant. Otherwise, why would she send all of it to me..." After a pause, Shen Rouruo asked hurriedly, "Is Mrs. Wei okay? Did she use the fish maw?"

Mrs. Shen frowned and looked at her. "If you care about her so much, why did you provoke her with words the day before? What are you thinking? You should have given up on some things when you were betrothed to the Fourth Prince. Mrs. Wei and Miss Wei are so innocent. You..."

"Mother!" Shen Rouruo clenched her fingers into fists, her face full of pity, "I was just hot-headed the day before yesterday, I didn't really mean it. Miss Wei and I used to be like sisters, and I couldn't bear to see her being misunderstood. Mrs. Wei is a cowardly person, I think if I scold her a few words, she will protect Bingyan later..."

Looking at this niece whom she once cared about sincerely, Mrs. Shen didn't know where to start. Was it an unintentional mistake or a momentary impulse?

If she wasn't really sincere about these two reasons, she almost harmed Mrs. Wei. How could she believe these two reasons?

"Mother, could it be that Mrs. Wei..." Shen Rouruo grabbed Mrs. Shen's hand in panic. Could it be that Xiao really ate peppercorns? She couldn't help but feel overjoyed, but she didn't show it on her face at all.

"No, Miss Wei has already noticed that there is something wrong with the fish maw. Roujun, you are being unkind and unjust to me." Mrs. Shen sighed helplessly.

"My daughter knows she was wrong, and she will never be plotted against by the Cheng family again." Shen Rouruo hung her head, hiding the helplessness in her eyes.

When she asked Mrs. Shen to present fish maw to Xiao, she really didn't know that there was something wrong with the fish maw. It was only then that she learned that Xiao was pregnant. She didn't expect that she could still hold the pearl. It also strongly proved that Wei Zhong still had no aversion to her. She was envious and jealous to the point of going crazy.

But how could she be so stupid as to send something problematic to Xiao's company at that time, and through her own people...

If Mrs. Shen hadn't come to look for her today, she really wouldn't have known that she was also being plotted against.

Yes, Cheng gave her the fish maw without any problems at that time, just to let her remove her psychological defenses. After that, he put all the poisoned things in the warehouse and let her go to the warehouse to get things on her own. Wasn't he just trying to harm her?

What a poisonous strategy! Perhaps these nutritional supplements and herbs in the storehouse are problematic. Cheng usually looks warm and generous, but in fact he has a vicious heart.

The most regrettable thing is that she didn't take this opportunity to poison Xiao's child. Then maybe she could kill two birds with one stone... No, that's not right. Since Cheng put the fish maw in the warehouse, she naturally believed that she might take it away and give it to someone else. Maybe she would be the one who was killed with one stone.

Thinking of this, Shen Rouruo broke out in a sweat, and she couldn't help but secretly feel happy that Xiao didn't have an accident with the fish maw, otherwise she would have been caught by accident.

Mrs. Shen didn't know what Shen Rouruo was thinking deep in her heart at this time. She looked at her niece helplessly, "You don't know where you are wrong. You clearly know what kind of person Cheng is. When you ate fish maw, you asked a doctor to check it carefully. Why didn't you be more cautious when giving it to others?

You feel that you gave it to Mrs. Wei sincerely anyway, so it doesn't matter whether it is poisonous or not. Even if there is a problem, it is just your carelessness and someone else's plan. Mrs. Wei was just dragged down?"

"Mother... How could mother think that? I definitely don't have the courage to have such an idea." Shen Rouruo's face changed slightly. Her thoughts were actually seen through by Mrs. Shen at a glance.

"Whether you have this idea or not, you must be clear that Mrs. Wei's pregnancy is no joke. Lord Wei now regards her as a treasure. Today I went to the Wei Mansion and happened to meet Lord Wei.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, his words showed that he was very dissatisfied with your behavior the day before. If something really happened to Madam Wei, you would not only be implicated, but the Fourth Prince would not forgive you, and His Majesty and the Empress Dowager would also severely blame the Shen family for not educating their daughter properly. I hope you can understand the reason behind this."

Mrs. Shen was extremely helpless with Shen Rouruo and originally wanted to ignore her. However, she was afraid that she would make mistakes in the future and drag down the Shen family, so she reminded her a few more times.

As a precious treasure... a picture inadvertently appeared in her mind, it was the picture of the gentle and elegant man deep in her heart, gently caring for and loving the woman who made her envious and jealous.

Shen Rouruo felt extremely sad, but she had to smile. "Mother's words were a little serious. How could Xiao Shi make His Majesty and the Empress Dowager so concerned?"

"The Wei family has no legitimate children until now. Old Master Wei was once the emperor's tutor. The Empress Dowager's family is also an old friend of the Wei family. Not to mention this relationship, given the status of the Xiao family in the capital, can they slander the Xiao family so easily? People should know themselves." Mrs. Shen said.

"My daughter has firmly remembered her mother's teachings, and will not dare to make any mistakes again in the future." Shen Rouruo bowed her head and said, but she was thinking, how infuriating it was that Aunt Qiu was so useless. She was driven out before she even took the initiative to attack. If she hadn't used her son as a threat, she might have betrayed her.

I wonder if Wei Bingru can use...

Mrs. Shen frowned, seeing that Shen Rouruo seemed to have listened to every word she said, but at the same time she felt that she couldn't hear anything. She sighed in her heart, "It's good that you know you're wrong. I'm leaving first. If you have time, you should go and apologize to Mrs. Wei in person." Mrs. Shen said.

"My daughter doesn't need to worry." Shen Rouruo said.

……

Not long after Mrs. Shen left, a little maid with ordinary-looking features came into the room of the Fourth Prince's wife.

"Did Shen Rouruo ask someone to get fish maw from the warehouse?" The Fourth Prince's wife lay on her side on the soft bed with her wide sleeves hanging down. Her face was visibly flushed and she looked in good spirits.

"Yes, but when Mrs. Shen left, she didn't bring any fish maw with her. I don't know what she gave to Concubine Shen." The little maid knelt on the ground and replied formally in a soft voice.

"You can go back. I understand this matter now." The Fourth Prince's wife spoke slowly without even looking at the little maid.

The maid bowed, took the tip from the nanny beside the Fourth Prince's wife, bent down and left.

"Princess, it seems she has discovered it." The nanny handed the Fourth Prince's wife a small cup of strong tea and spoke in a lowered voice. This woman was the Fourth Prince's wife's wet nurse. Her surname was Zhou and others called her Nanny Zhou.

The Fourth Prince's wife took the cup calmly, a dark smile on her lips, "So what if she noticed? Without evidence, would she dare to pin it on me?"

"I will go and replace all these in the storehouse..." said Zhou's mother.

"Uh, don't let anyone there see it." The Fourth Prince's wife said, "Mrs. Shen came today, probably not because of what happened the day before, but because of this fish maw."

Madam Zhou said, "Shen Rouruo gave the fish maw to Madam Wei. Did something go wrong?"

"I'm afraid that someone has discovered that there's something wrong with the fish maw. You should send someone to secretly go to the Wei family to find out if something unexpected happened to the Xiao family." said the Fourth Prince's wife.

"Did Shen Rouruo tell the Fourth Prince about this?" Zhou's mother asked worriedly.

The Fourth Prince's wife sneered, "How can the Fourth Prince have the patience to talk to her now? Humph, after this incident, Mrs. Shen will be helpless with such a cheap daughter. We just need to let the Fourth Prince know that General Shen Wei may not be loyal to him for Shen Rouruo in the future. What use is Shen Rouruo?"

"The princess is very strategic." Mother Zhou said softly.

"Go do your work, and be careful and cautious." The Fourth Prince's wife instructed, stroking her belly with one hand, a happy smile in the corners of her eyes.

Nanny Zhou left following the sound.
