Second Married Dandy: She went crazy to kill the eldest daughter

Chapter 149 Hidden Murder

In the flower hall, a group of female relatives chatted with each other and quickly resolved the embarrassment they had just had in the garden.

The second princess personally supported the old lady and chatted politely with the other female family members. With such an affectionate look, those who didn't know thought she was the one who called the old lady cousin.

The people who were talking to the old lady now were all well-respected ladies from various families in the capital city. Su Chengying didn't want to disturb her, so she found a chair to sit and rest for a while.

Unexpectedly, a figure came over and sat down next to her.

Su Chengying looked sideways in confusion and saw a face that was not unfamiliar.

The daughter of the admiral of Beiliang, Cui Jiezhen.

Like the other women in the flower hall, Cui Jiezhen is a noble girl from the capital, but her temperament is completely opposite to theirs. She is outspoken and does not stick to trivial matters. She is an extremely free and easy woman.

In the last life, Su Chengying, who was in Beiliang, heard that the eldest prince was leading troops to conquer the Liao and Jin Kingdoms. She went to the Huguo Temple alone to pray for the eldest prince. She didn't want to run into bandits blocking the road halfway up the mountain. It was precisely because of Cui Jiezhen's step forward. Only by coming out did she save the day.

It's just that she didn't care about anything at that time, and she never had any interaction with Cui Jiezhen afterwards.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Do you want to scold me too?" Cui Jiezhen was confused by Su Chengying's look.

Su Chengying came back to her senses and smiled slightly, "What happened in the garden just now, all the noble ladies in Beijing are trying to avoid me. It's rare that Miss Cui is willing to sit next to me, and I won't give up saying bad things to her."

Cui Jiezhen was surprised, "You actually know me?"

Su Chengying nodded and said, "Admiral Cui's name was also heard in the prosperous Tang Dynasty."

Cui Jiezhen smiled and said, "I didn't expect my father to be so famous, but compared to my father's temper, you are really on par with me. Then the old lady of the Hu family dares to be so domineering in Shangjing, and no one else She's so used to it, if everyone was like you, she would no longer be arrogant."

"It's just a quick talk. I don't dare to accept Miss Cui's praise."

"Don't be so modest. I know that you were born into a family of military commanders like me, but I'm not as lucky as you. My father refused to let me go to the military for training, so I could only Forced to spend all day in the house learning about female celebrities..."

Su Chengying didn't know how hard it was in the army, so she didn't think Cui Jiezhen was complaining. Instead, she thought it was Admiral Cui's love for Cui Jiezhen.

Not far away, a burst of laughter came.

Cui Jiezhen looked at the second princess with the deepest smile, and whispered, "They are all people who have taken the fetal medicine, and they are still walking around like this, so they are not afraid of any accidents."

Su Chengying was stunned, "Is the second prince's concubine pregnant?"

"A few days ago, I saw someone from the fourth prince's family secretly going to the drug store. I was curious so I went to inquire about it. I actually heard that the people from the fourth prince's family were prescribing miscarriage. But you are here today. I also saw the face of the fourth prince and concubine, she was so depressed, how could she look like a pregnant person?"

Cui Jiezhen moved closer to Su Chengying and lowered her voice and said, "The fourth prince's concubine and the second prince's concubine were close to each other, so I thought that the fourth prince's concubine secretly prescribed the pregnancy-preserving medicine to the second prince's concubine. "

Su Chengying, "..."

What you are thinking is really completely irrelevant!

The royal family selects their daughters-in-law carefully. After all, the bride's natal family is the most important source of confidence and backing for the princes to fight for power. Therefore, even now, the fifth prince has not yet married.

The reason why the second prince got married early was probably because Concubine Liu Ren hoped that the second prince's concubine could give birth to the emperor's eldest grandson, so that she could leave an important impression and status in front of Emperor Liang. Once she got the emperor's preference, whether it was for Liu Ren Concubine Ren's benefits to the second prince are immeasurable.Therefore, if the second princess is really pregnant, there is no need to hide it.

Su Chengying carefully looked at the figure of the second princess. If she really drank the fetal medicine, she would be more than two months pregnant. Although she had not felt the pulse of the second princess, a woman who was two months pregnant , will appear thin due to morning sickness, and the breasts will also swell. Coupled with symptoms such as lethargy, fatigue, dizziness, etc., the second prince will never have such a bright complexion.

But looking back at the fourth prince and concubine...

But it looks very much like the early stages of pregnancy.

This is also the reason why Su Chengying felt something was wrong with the fourth princess when she first saw her.

According to what Su Chengying saw, the fourth princess must be pregnant, but why didn't she mention this at all?
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the old lady of the Hu family who was talking to the second princess, glancing in the direction of Su Chengying, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally, with a light of gloating flashing across her eyes very quickly.

The old lady of the Hu family moved very quickly. If Su Chengying hadn't happened to be looking towards the second prince and concubine, she wouldn't have been able to catch this small movement.

Su Chengying's expression remained unchanged, but her heart tightened a little.

Pregnancy, concealment, birthday celebration...

Putting all these things together, it is not difficult not to make people think that the fourth prince and concubine are planning to use the child to make a fuss, and the look in the eyes of the old lady of the Hu family just now clearly showed that she knew something, so she could not control her excitement.

Could this be all for her?
Could it be that the Fourth Princess really planned to bump into her directly with her belly full?

no, no...

Su Chengying thought quickly, feeling that if her guess was correct, whether it was the fourth prince or the second prince who had put so much effort into setting up this plot, he would never make such a simple plan.

Is it...

A person suddenly appeared in Su Chengying's mind.

Seeing that Su Chengying remained silent, Cui Jiezhen persuaded her, "Don't be too anxious. I know it's been a while since you got married, but you can't rush things like children..."

This simple girl thought she was anxious to have a child.

The incident happened suddenly and there was no time to waste. Su Chengying glanced at the old lady who was controlled by the second prince's concubine again, lowered her voice and told Cui Jiezhen, "Speaking of which, my sister Lu is from the fourth prince's house. Concubine, Jin Ri hasn’t seen her, so I might be worried, I’m going to see her now, and if the old lady asks about it later, please let Miss Cui inform her quietly.”

Cui Jiezhen nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will convey it to Mrs. Dongfang's family carefully in a moment."

Su Chengying responded with a grateful smile, and then found an opportunity to quietly walk out of the flower hall when the second prince, concubine and others were not paying attention.

Today is the fourth prince's birthday, and people can be seen everywhere in the mansion coming and going.

Su Chengying stopped a young maid and said, "I am the sister-in-law of your Concubine Dongfang. Where is your Concubine Dongfang's yard?"

Nowadays, no one in the fourth prince's house knows about Su Chengying's heroic feat in confronting the old lady of the Hu family. The little maid did not dare to hesitate and quickly walked in front of her to lead the way, "Your Highness, please come this way."
