Chapter 8: Yixiu 6
696 Words
Upon hearing the rumors outside, Yinzhen was particularly angry. He thought Yixiu was behind it and sent people to investigate. In the end, he found out that the rumors were spread by Rouze's subordinates.
When Rouze first married into the prince's residence, she attempted to marginalize Yixiu. As soon as she entered the residence, she pleaded with Yinzhen to take away Yixiu's household management rights, claiming that being a legitimate consort without management power would make her a laughingstock among her sisters-in-law. Yinzhen, being infatuated with her, naturally agreed.
However, Rouze was not suited for the role. Due to her lack of understanding, she was often fooled by those beneath her. Within three months of managing the household, she had spent one-third of Yinzhen's allowance, throwing the entire residence into chaos. Eventually, Yinzhen had no choice but to return the management rights to Yixiu.
Now that Rouze was pregnant and dear to his heart, he couldn't get angry at her. Moreover, since Yixiu held the management rights and Yinzhen believed she was the main cause of the incident, he stormed towards Qingfeng Courtyard in anger.
Upon entering, he was captivated by Yixiu's beauty and couldn't regain his composure for a long time. He even secretly thought: Was Yixiu always this beautiful? Rouze is newly pregnant and can't serve me. Yixiu is her biological sister and has just experienced the loss of her child. If I favor her more, she will likely take better care of Rouze, and Rouze won't cause trouble. Yes, this is a good plan. I should come to Qingfeng Courtyard more often.
At this moment, he had forgotten that he came to question her.
Seeing Yinzhen storm in with anger, Yixiu didn't say much or do much. She merely poured him a cup of tea with some added ingredients. This tea wouldn't have a significant effect on Yinzhen, except that he would no longer have offspring. Since he didn't care about his children, he shouldn't have any more. Besides, his children weren't that great anyway.
Yinzhen took the tea Yixiu handed him without saying much and drank it all in one go.
Yinzhen: Ulanara, have you heard the recent rumors?
Yixiu: I am unaware.
Yinzhen: What a fine "unaware." You hold the household management rights of the prince's residence, and this is how you handle things? I know you are deeply saddened by Honghui's death, but Honghui was also my child, and I am heartbroken too. But we can't live in the past forever.
Since you hold the management rights, you must fulfill your duties. Go outside and listen to what people are saying about me and the main consort.
Ulanara, I hope you can pull yourself together quickly and manage the prince's residence well, so as not to betray my trust.
Also, the main consort is pregnant. As her sister, you should take good care of her. When she gives birth to the legitimate son, it will benefit you as well.
Listening to his words, Yixiu didn't say much. She merely swept the cup off the table and sneered: Aisin Gioro Yinzhen, you are disgusting. Do you really care about Honghui? Did you truly consider him your son? He was so young. If it weren't for my good sister, how could he have died? I'm telling you, it was Rouze who killed Honghui. He was fine, so why did he suddenly develop a high fever that wouldn't go down? It was your good consort who had her personal nanny bribe Honghui's wet nurse, open Honghui's window at midnight, and remove his quilt, causing him to catch a chill.
That night, there were doctors treating Honghui, but they were called to the main courtyard while preparing his medicine, and even the medicine prescribed for him was taken away.
You say you care about Honghui, but what were you doing when he died? You were indulging in romance with that b***h Rouze. You didn't even bother to look at Honghui after he died. I'm telling you, you are unworthy of being Honghui's father.
Take care of Rouze? I'm telling you, it's impossible. I now wish I could eat her flesh and drink her blood.
