Chapter 159 You want to use me!
"beg me?"
After uttering these two words, Wei Qingqing suddenly burst into laughter.
It was like listening to a very funny joke.
The sound of unbridled laughter echoed throughout the Huiyue Pavilion, adding a touch of eerie feeling, like the wild laughter of a ghost from hell, frightening Frost even though he was holding the soft body.
Xia Zheng, however, remained unchanged, still looking at Wei Qingqing with sincere eyes.
Perhaps seeing Xia Zheng's lack of reaction, or perhaps because she was tired of laughing, Wei Qingqing stopped laughing and snorted coldly, "I can't help you with anything, and I can't help you. Whatever you're planning, get out of here."
"I asked Concubine for help, not me, but the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. I guess Concubine has heard some rumors."
There is no wall that is impenetrable, not to mention that there are more than a hundred people in the mansion. Two months have passed, and the rumors have been changed several times. Even if Wei Qingqing is sealed here, she can still hear some news.
Even though Wei Qingqing was arrogant and domineering, and most of the time she was unwilling to use her brain, she was the daughter of an aristocratic family, so her perspective was different. She could roughly understand the current situation faced by the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion just by hearing the news.
"What does the Zhenguo Mansion have to do with me? Rather than being trapped here, unable to live or die, why not let everyone in this mansion die with me? I'll have company on my road to the underworld."
"Why are you saying these angry words, Concubine? You know best that if the Zhenguo Mansion falls, no one in the Wei General's Mansion will be able to escape."
Wei Qingqing remained silent.
Xia Zheng didn't continue to expose her. She just reached out and took Ruanruan from Shuangjiang's arms and said, "Besides, there is Ruanruan. Would the concubine be willing to let her go to hell with us after only seven months?"
"She's your daughter, why should I be reluctant to let her go?" Wei Qingqing scoffed, but her eyes lingered on Ruanruan for a moment before she added, "I wish I could kill her, don't you know? And you dare bring her here?"
"I know that if Concubine Concubine wanted to kill her, she wouldn't live past a full month. I thank Concubine Concubine for saving Ruanruan."
Wei Qingqing understood the first part of the words, but was confused by the latter part.
She had never intended to kill Ruanruan at first. She just wanted to vent her emotions and find a way to die. It could not be said that she saved her.
Seeing her confusion and suspicion, Xia Zheng continued without further suspense, "If the concubine hadn't taken Ruanruan away that day, the Crown Prince's wife's intentions would have been well hidden, and the Crown Prince wouldn't have had the heart to warn her. Ruanruan and I wouldn't have had the peace we had for a while. So, I thank the concubine."
Wei Qingqing was not stupid. Even though her mind was not clear at first and she could not see clearly, half a year had passed and so many days and nights had passed. She finally figured out why Xiao Jingyue was discovered by the two maids when she was passing by her door that day, and how she happened to run into the midwife's daughter after leaving Xia Zheng's yard.
No matter how much Tao Yurong has tried, she can still taste the taste.
"Weren't you brought into the mansion by Tao Yurong? Why, now that you have a high position, you want to turn against her?" Wei Qingqing's eyes were full of mockery, as if she was watching two dogs biting each other.
"I was brought into the palace by the Crown Prince's Consort, but we have never been on the same page. She simply used me as a surrogate mother to bear her child. How can I live without turning my back on someone who covets my child and wants to abandon me?"
Hearing her words, Wei Qingqing's eyes lit up. She excitedly grabbed the arm of the chair with both hands, leaned forward and asked, "Is Tao Yurong really infertile?"
"Probably, it's extremely difficult." Xia Zheng wasn't sure completely.
But even so, Wei Qingqing instantly understood a lot. She gradually retreated, her eyes hollow as she murmured, "She can't have children, so she brought you here. She wants your child, and then my child, Xue Wuyang, might also... No, she wasn't there that day. What's wrong? There must be something wrong!"
"In fact, at the New Year's Eve banquet, when the maid brought the soup bowl, I smelled a fragrance that was the same as the fragrance on the Crown Prince's wife in the meditation room of the Holy Mother Temple."
Wei Qingqing asked anxiously, "Are you sure?"
"My sense of smell was extremely acute when I was pregnant. Although the scent was faint, it was very unique, so I remember it very clearly."
"Then why didn't you say it then?"
"The Crown Prince's wife was not at home at the time. What's the point of saying something that is completely insufficient as evidence based on my status at the time? What's more, it had nothing to do with me at the time, so there was no need for me to sacrifice myself for the concubine." Xia Zheng spoke the truth, very calmly.
"Then why are you saying it now? You want to use me!"
"It's just a sentence. It's my thank you gift and also a gift for asking Concubine for help. As for whether Concubine believes it or not, or what she does, I have no right to interfere. Besides, Concubine and the Crown Prince's wife are sworn enemies. I'm just on the same side with Concubine right now. It can't be considered as using her."
Wei Qingqing looked at Xia Zheng coldly, her eyes glaring uncomfortably. "You're becoming more and more eloquent."
"I'm just telling the truth. No matter what the concubine wants to do, she must preserve the Zhenguogong Mansion. Only when the Zhenguogong Mansion is preserved will there be a chance to talk about the future."
Wei Qingqing didn't respond, just looked at her.
After a moment, he suddenly shifted his gaze to Ruan Ruan and said, "Okay, but you have to give me your daughter now."
Upon hearing this, Frost and Snow became alert.
Seeing Xia Zheng making a move, Shuangjiang reached out and grabbed her hand, whispering, "Surong, no, she might have gone crazy."
"Yes, I may have gone crazy a long time ago. Do you dare to bet?" Wei Qingqing smiled, her cracked lips broke open, and trickles of red blood flowed out.
Xia Zheng silently shook her head at Shuangjiang, indicating that she was fine. After stroking her hand away, she placed Ruanruan on Wei Qingqing's legs.
It seemed as if she had not expected that Xia Zheng would give the child to her without hesitation. Xia Zheng let go of the living baby as soon as it was placed on her lap. She was so frightened that she grabbed Ruanruan with her hands in a panic.
Her panicked look amused Ruanruan, who danced and laughed with joy.
The seven-month-old baby was no less powerful than when he was little, and was very slippery. Wei Qingqing had to use a lot of effort to hold the baby and prevent it from slipping. She was sweating all over her forehead, and she no longer had the cold and crazy look she had just now.
"Take it...take it away quickly! I can't hold it anymore!"
Xia Zheng reached out with a smile to take Ruanruan back. Ruanruan reached out to Wei Qingqing reluctantly, babbling, as if venting her dissatisfaction at losing the fun so quickly.
"So, does the concubine agree?"
Wei Qingqing reached out to wipe the sweat from her forehead and nodded unhappily.
After Xia Zheng bowed, she turned around and walked out. When she reached the door, Shuangxue suddenly reached out and grabbed something from behind Xia Zheng.
Turning around, Frost Snow was holding a small golden lock in her hand.
It is extremely exquisite and the carvings are extremely fine.
"Full moon gift, make up for her."
