Rui Wangfei bitterly laughed. These things, she similarly was clear about. That’s why, for many things, it wasn’t something she had control over. “Consort mother really think that by giving birth to a boy, all things will be well? How did wangye get poisoned? Even if giving birth to a boy, the person behind the scenes probably can still cause a problem. This daughter-in-law rather hope that consort mother and wangye can come out on top in the end, and from there, fulfill your wish. This daughter-in-law isn’t considering for the sake of one’s own glory and honor, but merely just hoping to preserve my two daughters’ life, that’s all. In any case, this daughter-in-law isn’t counting on how well their future can be. After all, princesses of the imperial family, not many can be well off, especially since their royal father has never once cared for them.”
The corner of Noble Consort Su’s mouth twitched, for a moment, really not knowing what to say.
“Consort mother best rest. If there’s nothing else, then before this child is born, this daughter-in-law won’t be entering the palace. For better or worse, there’s still this piece of flesh in one’s stomach as a protective charm, so just let this daughter-in-law enjoy oneself for a period of time. As for after this child is born, who knows what the situation will be like, perhaps one might have already lost one’s life. That’s why, if able to be carefree for a moment, then might as well be carefree, so as to avoid, when nearing death, recalling one’s memories, one’s whole life was just living sullenly. And if fortunate enough to survive, then this daughter-in-law will just let consort mother punish as one’s sees fit.”
Regardless whether it was the palace servants by Noble Consort Su’s side, or the people serving Rui Wangfei, this while, they were all trembling terribly, just because they heard something they didn’t dare to hear.
Darkness flickered before Noble Consort Su’s eyes as she powerlessly massaged her temples, “Call someone in, have them all dragged out and all beaten to death.” These words clearly were said to the first rank palace maid by her side.
That palace maid forcibly suppressed her fear, “Yes.” Right now, she also wasn’t sure whether or not she was included in getting beaten to death.
The palace maids and eunuchs collapsed on the ground in fear, but their mouths subconsciously began begging for forgiveness, hoping Noble Consort Su can have mercy. They promise they won’t have the matter leaked out. Otherwise, can also use poison to mute them, just asking to spare their life.
Noble Consort Su right now was very unwell, so where did she still have the energy to deal with them. She couldn’t be bothered to say another word.
Rui Wangfei’s movements were slow, getting supported by the servant girl, so still haven’t gone far. Hearing the disturbance, her complexion didn’t change, clearly sensing the servant girl’s fear, “Be steady, if this wangfei trips, then you will really have to die together with this wangfei. Just watch your own mouth. Before this child is born, you won’t meet with mishap.”
“Many thanks, many thanks wangfei.” The servant girl relaxed a breath. Her life was temporarily preserved.
“What are you thanking me for? The one that placed you in this kind of situation was me.”
“What wangfei is like, we as the servants all know. Just, why didn’t wangfei bear for a moment? Even if wanting to satisfy oneself a little, some words still shouldn’t be said. In this way, by having the child in your stomach, even if you imitate Jin Wangfei, living willfully, it also won’t matter.”
Rui Wangfei casted her a glance in surprise, “Never thought that you, whose personality is normally a little wooden, actually knows how to speak quite well. What you said, how am I not clear about. Just, some people, they just don’t understand, unwilling to understand. This kind of days, really had enough of. Moreover, as a pregnant person, the temper is just somewhat abnormal to begin with. Many times, probably still unable to control oneself. Since the words have been said, then so be it. It doesn’t really matter.”
After Rui Wangfei left the palace, she didn’t return to Rui Qinwang Manor, instead directly going to the estate, because right now, she similarly didn’t want to face her husband. She was afraid that she won’t be able to control herself, similarly saying some things that she shouldn’t say to him. That’s why, if able to avoid, then just avoid. In any case, her husband right now can’t leave the manor.
(T/N: Rui Qinwang is still being grounded for the ration issue.)
Rui Qinwang was practicing calligraphy in the manor to calm the mind. Hearing that Rui Wangfei went to the estate, and at the same time, his consort mother had beaten to death several people by her side, the specific reason within unable to find out, his mind that had finally calmed down instantly became irritable again, “Immediately have wangfei brought back to the manor.”
Rui Qinwang’s attendant endlessly complained inside. If wangfei wanted to come back, then she wouldn’t have gone to the estate. Moreover, wangfei’s body right now was precious, they these people didn’t dare to be ‘rough’. That’s why, before even going out, the trip was already destined to be in vain. But, this kind of thing, one can’t even say to wangye.

Thus, can only go, and afterwards, come back to receive the punishment. If able to delay a little, then just delay a little.
Just as expected, Rui Wangfei effortlessly just had the person brushed off. In any case, her two daughters were also at the estate, so it didn’t matter.
The attendant was able to clearly sense Rui Wangfei’s change in attitude, and all of this appeared after entering the palace. Then, perhaps letting wangfei enter the palace this time was a very bad decision. The people of Rui Qinwang Manor, regardless whether it was the servants, or the concubines of the back manor, all can be said to be in deep water. Perhaps, it’s just the two side consorts that were disliked by Rui Qinwang from the beginning whose days were a little more comfortable at this time.
The attendant returned to report back, already prepared to get extinguished by his master’s fury. As such, when getting smashed in the head by the teacup, he didn’t even turn his head, the fresh blood flowing down, somewhat blurring the eyes, but he just reached out to wipe away, not having any other reaction.
Rui Qinwnang was overflowing with anger. He probably never thought that the woman that has always been docile and obedient towards him would actually one day disobey.
In reality, his thoughts were more or less the same as Noble Consort Su’s. As a married woman, didn’t she precisely need to rely on her husband and live by watching her mother-in-law’s face. To actually dare ‘rebel’, wasn’t it precisely being tired of living, disdaining the days for being too comfortable. Really think that by carrying this piece of flesh in her stomach, she can just be out of control?
However, Rui Wangfei precisely did this, and others really were unable to do anything to her.
This matter, not long after, naturally just got passed on to Jing Wan. Although the specifics were unknown, it was certain that Rui Wangfei had a falling out with that mother and son pair. However, Jing Wan’s impression towards Rui Wangfei was rather indifferent. It can’t be considered ill, but there naturally weren’t any good feelings either.
Setting aside the present, in the future, when needing to scheme against, they similarly will scheme against her. On this bit, she absolutely won’t say anything either.
Just, when Jing Wan wanted to ignore, Rui Wangfei instead came looking on her own.
Jing Wan lifted her brow. Seeing on the fact that the other party was pregnant, she just met with her. After all, pregnant women really had it quite hard, especially when too many people were all hoping for that child in the stomach to be a boy. The pressure certainly will be very big.
She rather wasn’t worried about something happening. Just based on how much the other party values this child, it was absolutely impossible for something to happen. Moreover, even if mishap occurs in their estate, based on the living Enma’s nature, in the end, nothing will happen.
Jing Wan originally thought that this third sister-in-law’s situation afraid wasn’t very good. However, after seeing the person, the other party’s condition was nevertheless much better than expected, appearing very clear, unlike someone shouldering heavy pressure. Jing Wan was inwardly amazed.
“How did third sister-in-law think of coming over for a visit today?” Jing Wan let someone prepare tea and desserts. This tea of course was the healthy floral tea. Even for pregnant women, it was very beneficial.
Rui Wangfei waved aside her own servant girl and mama, directly picking it up and taking a sip, “Sixth sister-in-law’s things here have a rather unique taste, how about sharing some with me later?”
This attitude was carefree to the point of making one somewhat surprised. “Third sister-in-law right now is very much precious. Edible things, one rather doesn’t dare to give you. How about this, I’ll give you the recipe. After you return, you can have someone make it for you. There isn’t any difficulty, and the time required isn’t long either.”
“Alright.” Rui Wangfei bluntly nodded, “Before coming, one was already thinking, sixth sister-in-law’s place certainly will be comfortable. Sure enough, after entering this estate, one’s mood just improved along with. In the future, afraid one cannot avoid bothering sixth sister-in-law. This face of mine will only be thick this one time, so sixth sister-in-law, must forgive.”
On the inside, Jing Wan really suspect that something happened to this third sister-in-law. It was just like as if the shackles on her all got removed, carrying a light feeling, and also a kind of willfulness of only living for oneself. Jing Wan’s thoughts turned. Looks like, Noble Consort Su will be even more unwell. Perhaps there really was something.
The worst off that woman was, the better Jing Wan felt she will be. Although the enemy of one’s enemy may not necessary become one’s friend, and moreover, between Rui Wangfei and Noble Consort Su, it probably was still far from being enemies, but as the person that ‘disobeyed’ the same mother-in-law, one can still calmly and carefreely chat about some trivial things.
