The prince wanted to divorce his wife during pregnancy, and the reborn princess burst into laughter

Chapter 26 Ling Xiao's Pressure

As for Zhu'er, he would wait until he found a way to give her a new identity and let her be his second wife in the future.

Let her be the mistress of the Prince Rong's Mansion and give her enough respect.

Li Yuzhu couldn't imagine Ling Xiao's attitude. She thought that after she confessed to Ling Xiao, he would at least protect her, help her and force her father.

Unexpectedly, he didn't protect her at all, but actually defended Su Nanyi, which made her very angry.

It can be seen that this man is unreliable and in the end you still have to rely on yourself.

It is true that if you rely on mountains, they will fall; if you rely on people, they will run away. You still have to rely on yourself for everything.

Her eyes darkened, and she nodded, "I'll remember what the prince said."

He just snorted in his heart, how can a bastard's son be the same as a legitimate son? Here, a bastard's son doesn't even have the right of inheritance, unless there is no legitimate son.

Although she didn't want the property of Prince Rong's Mansion, it was impossible for it to fall into the hands of others.
If this is the case, then Su Nanyi cannot be kept alive, and both mother and son must die.

However, the fragrant leaves in Tingxue's yard had been sold, and now she couldn't find a suitable person to poison Su Nanyi again.

If poison cannot be used, then the only option is to use the Tianji Pavilion.

So what if Ling Xiao found out? Could he kill her for Su Nanyi?

Seeing Li Yuzhu's gloomy face, Ling Xiao thought she was angry, so he patted her on the shoulder and said to her in comfort, "Zhu'er, are you angry with me?"

Li Yuzhu raised her eyes and said calmly, "I dare not. How dare Zhu'er be angry with the prince? I was just thinking about mother. For so many years, mother has given birth to children for father. What she did is no different from his legal wife. I didn't expect that father would change his mind today. I couldn't understand it for a while."

Ling Xiao said: "This is Prime Minister Su's own family affair, I can't interfere, and you can't expose this matter. Once it is exposed, he will be impeached by the censor and Prime Minister Su will be charged with favoring his concubine and killing his wife.

We must have a good talk, Prime Minister Su will definitely be able to handle it."

Ling Xiao was speaking the truth, and he had no intention of trying to please Li Yuzhu. However, to Li Yuzhu, it sounded like Ling Xiao was just trying to please her.

From an angle that Ling Xiao couldn't see, Li Yuzhu said with a disdainful smile: "That's why I didn't ask the prince to come forward."

"Zhu'er can also tell me that as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it."

Li Yuzhu said calmly: "Yeah."

Then she nestled quietly in Ling Xiao's arms without saying a word.

Ling Xiao knew that Li Yuzhu was feeling uncomfortable, so he gently put her on the bed, called Nanny Xu to give her some instructions, and then returned to the study.

There are still many things he needs to deal with.

As soon as Ling Xiao left, Li Yuzhu got up from the bed. She could no longer suppress her anger. She threw all the tea sets on the table onto the ground and said angrily, "You are such a disappointment to me, Ling Xiao."

"Miss, don't get angry with the prince. Take care of your body. If you get angry, it's your own fault."

Nanny Xu hurried to comfort her.

"Mammy, what do you think I should do now?"

Madam Xu hugged her in her arms and said distressedly, "Miss, please go back tomorrow. Madam just sent a servant to tell you that the prince is here, and I can't tell you."

"Okay, then I'll go back and discuss it with mom tomorrow."

Li Yuzhu was feeling very depressed. She had lost her former shrewdness and decisiveness, and was no different from a jealous woman trapped in the backyard.

Nanny Xu looked at her and sighed deeply. She tried to ask, "Miss, is it worth it for you to do this? In my opinion, you should abort the baby in your belly and go back to stay in Prince Rong's mansion. You see, Prince Rong is not as attentive as before. In his heart, he still has the girl from Tingxue Courtyard in his heart."

A trace of determination flashed in Li Yuzhu's eyes: "Mammy, even if we want to leave, we have to wait until the one from Tingxueyuan dies." Li Yuzhu's character is the kind that never admits defeat. There is nothing she can't accomplish if she wants to.

Moreover, she controls the Tianji Pavilion and has her own huge industry, but she is no match for an ancient woman who is powerless. As a killer, she should just buy a noodle and hang herself.

Besides, she still agreed with what Aunt Xu said. It was indeed not worth it for her to be Ling Xiao's concubine. But now that things had come to this, she knew that she could not retreat unscathed if she wanted to.

She could only take one step at a time and see what happened. If she really couldn't get out of this unscathed, she would think of another way. She didn't believe that there was no other way.

In Ronghuayuan, the concubine came to the garden to digest the food after dinner.

She asked the nanny beside her: "Has Xiao'er come back?"

The nanny replied, "The prince has returned a long time ago. He had dinner at Liuli and is now back in the study to handle official business."

The Concubine Dowager frowned. Ever since Li Yuzhu came into the family, Ling Xiao hadn't even greeted her. Now he ran to Liuli Courtyard as soon as he came back, and he didn't even care about her, his mother.

The concubine felt very jealous, as if her son had been abducted by a slutty bitch.

She said in a deep voice: "Let's go to the study."

The nanny nodded, helped the concubine up and walked towards Ling Xiao's study.

Ling Xiao was handling official business, and when he saw the huge expenses from above, his head started to explode.

It was true that he had an army of 300,000 at his command, but Emperor Jiancheng often delayed or refused to provide military supplies on the grounds that the treasury was empty.

He also knew that Emperor Jiancheng wanted to take back the military power in this way, but how could he possibly hand it over?

Once he handed over the military power, Emperor Jiancheng would kill him without hesitation. The 300,000-strong army was the life-saving talisman for their family, so he would rather die than hand it over.

But if you don't pay, you will have to pay for it yourself.

An army of 300,000, their daily food and drink alone would be a huge expense. Even if he was as rich as a country, he could not afford it.

Now, another 500,000 taels are needed to purchase winter clothes.

But his income is no longer enough to cover his expenses. What should he do?
Could I borrow from Zhu'er?
Just when he was getting anxious, there was a knock on the door. He looked up and shouted, "Come in."

After the door opened, he saw that it was the Concubine Dowager, and he quickly stood up and asked, "Why is my mother here?"

The concubine glared at him, "Why? Are you disappointed to see that it was mother? You thought it was the one from Liuliyuan?"

Ling Xiao was stunned, confused as he was. Why did his mother feel resentful towards Zhu'er?

He hurriedly smiled and said, "What are you talking about, mother? What I meant is that you are still here so late, you should go to bed earlier."

After hearing what he said, the concubine's resentment subsided a little. She sat down and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days. I thought something had happened to you. After asking, I found out that you were in Liuli Courtyard."

Ling Xiao then remembered that he had been staying with Li Yuzhu for the past few days and had forgotten to visit the concubine.

He quickly apologized, "Don't be angry, mother. Zhu'er has not been feeling well these past two days, so I went to see her more often. When she feels better, I will come back to accompany you."

"What's wrong with her?" the concubine asked with a frown.

Ling Xiao said truthfully: "Maybe it's because of the miscarriage, and I'm not in a good mood today."

The concubine frowned: "Why is she in such a bad mood? She has only been married for a few days, why is there so much trouble?"
