PFC Chapter 187 Beitang Yi's Gift
Chapter 187 Beitang Yi's Gift
"You've been dreaming for more than ten or twenty years and you still haven't woken up? Do you still want to give him a son and then become famous because of the son?"
"In order to show your loyalty and gain a foothold in the Prime Minister's Mansion, you sent me to be raised by the eldest lady. You taught me to be obedient, not to stand out, not to compete with the eldest lady, not to get close to you, not to call you mother, and not to get close to you in front of others. You said that I was the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, with fine clothes and delicious food, but I am a person, and I don't want only these things. From childhood to adulthood, have you ever thought about what kind of life I have led? Will I be afraid and helpless?"
"Five years ago, the eldest daughter died of an illness. For the sake of her son and the future of the Prime Minister's Mansion, you ignored my happiness and asked me to marry the Crown Prince. Now, seeing that Beitang Yi has survived and risen again, you are thinking of marrying my own sister to him?"
"Think about it if you want. I have nothing to say if the man is not married and the woman is not married. Why do you have to force me to make this happen?"
"That's the man I once had a crush on, but he's a stranger that I can't get close to now. Have you ever thought about me? Even once a day? You keep talking about Weiwei. You feel bad when she doesn't eat or drink, but what about me?"
"Why didn't you stay with me when I didn't eat or drink, when I was sick, and why didn't you fight for my happiness?"
"Every time you ask me to do something with just a few words, do you really think that I, the Crown Princess, can do anything?"
"You can't have your cake and eat it too. If you don't have the diamond in your hand, can you please stop taking on that porcelain job?"
Yu Hua beat his chest hard again and again, crying:
"Look at me. I am also your daughter. I am the Crown Princess, but what do I have except an empty title? I have been married for five years and I don't even have my own children..."
At first she couldn't get pregnant, and now she wants to but can't. When can she show some care for her?
Even if it's just a question.
Seeing the corners of the woman's lips about to move, Yu Hua slumped his shoulders, tears flowing even more fiercely:
"Don't tell me that the eldest lady's child is the same as my own. People's hearts are separated by the belly. Weiwei and I both crawled out of your belly. Ask yourself, do you treat Weiwei and me the same?"
Troublesome things happen one after another, and nothing goes smoothly.
Yu Hua felt uncomfortable and sobbed, and it seemed as if someone was strangling her breathing. At this moment, the woman who had been timid suddenly stood up, and her voice became a little higher:
"That's your own sister! You still have to compare? How old is she and how old are you? When did you become so fussy?"
"Why should we separate you and me as a family? You have become successful and independent, but you don't want to help your sister. You even refuse and resist. You don't even think about how you climbed to the position of Crown Princess."
"You are not the second daughter of the Xiangfu, do you have this opportunity?"
"Didn't you object at first? Don't tell me you don't want to."
"If you don't want to be a general, then you are not a good soldier. Similarly, which woman has not had that dream?"
"You're really taking advantage of me~"
The Crown Princess is second only to the Emperor and above everyone else. What an honor!
What does it matter whether to remarry or not? She is the future mother of the nation, how can she be the same?
The woman had a ferocious face and was full of anger, and she felt that the woman was ungrateful.
"..."
Suddenly, Yu Huazhen was shocked, and tears stopped in her eyes. She couldn't believe her eyes. Her heart seemed to be washed by layers of ice water, and she was filled with disappointment.
She said so much, but she didn't expect that in the end she would be accused and scolded like this.
There was not a word of concern or comfort, let alone an apology.
After she lost her temper, the woman instantly became like a deflated ball, returning to her previous cowardly and listless appearance, as if the hideous and ugly appearance just now had never happened:
"Why should we distinguish between you and me as a family? Who is better? Do you know how hard it was for me to give birth to you? If I hadn't had a heavy bleeding at that time, your sister wouldn't have..."
Seeing her wiping her handkerchief and wiping her eyes as she was about to talk about the past, Yu Hua felt the calluses on her ears throbbing and about to pierce through her eardrums and body. She clenched her drooping fists and took the lead in interrupting the conversation:
"Did I make you pregnant, or did I make you give birth to the child?"
"Back then, back then...everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion knew about your heavy bleeding and the fact that you almost died. It's been more than ten years, and I'm tired of hearing about it even though you haven't gotten tired of talking about it. How long are you going to use this excuse to force me?"
"Don't you have any idea why there was a heavy bleeding back then?"
Wasn't it because she wanted to choose a day to give birth to a son? Wasn't it because she was afraid of pain and scars, and had all these taboos, and finally did it herself? She was young and didn't know it before, so does she think she is still young now, deaf and can't think?
"You even blame me for the age difference between Weiwei and you blame me for the heavy bleeding when I was born. Can I decide when I was born? If I could decide, I would rather never be born in your belly or not come out at all."
The woman slammed the table and pointed at her, shaking with anger:
“You, you…”
"Did I say anything wrong? It's been more than ten years. I've had enough of you! Auntie, do you think that if you hadn't given birth to me, hadn't had the heavy bleeding, or hadn't been delayed for a few years, you would have been able to have another son and then rise to a higher level as a mother with a son?"
"Ha~"
After shaking off his gorgeous clothes, Yu Hua laughed this time, laughing out loud:
"When my father became prime minister, there were so many young and beautiful girls willing to bear his children. They have been waiting for twenty years but none of them came. Why do you think you will be so lucky?"
"Aunt, if you want to please father and win his favor, that's your business. Don't put your hopes on me."
"There is one thing I hope you understand. A forced melon is not sweet. What's the point of climbing high if you are not favored?"
"If you continue to be so foolish and insist on your own way, and make the marriages of your two daughters useless, then everything in the Xiangfu will have nothing to do with you, an aunt who is not even on the family tree..."
After taking one last look at the woman, Yu Hua turned and left.
Walking out of the side room and looking at the sky with heavy dark clouds in the distance, she paused for a moment, then quickened her pace and left.
Inside the house, the woman's face was pale, and she slumped in her seat, twirling her handkerchief. From beginning to end, neither of them noticed that there was a eavesdropping figure outside the back window, with a gloomy and dark face.

Pingyong Marquis Mansion Yuxiu Courtyard
Ever since Ling Wenzhan came back to life, Mu Lianzhi hardly left her room for several days. Every day, apart from reading and resting, and dealing with the occasional inquiries from the Marquis' Mansion, she was listening to the news from maids from all sides.
That day, after sending off the imperial physician, Mu Lianzhi had just finished counting the gifts sent by the emperor with Xia Xiuqing when he looked up and saw Chunmiao and Qinglan coming in with two trays.
"Didn't you say there were four plates? Why are there more?"
"Miss, this was sent to you by Lord Beitang. He said it was a toy to relieve boredom. Also, that person... personally sent it to you."
