Chapter 113: Song Bai's Scheme to Sow Dissension

Chapter 113: Song Bai's Scheme to Sow Dissension
"Yes, concubine."

The person who answered was an old maid beside Concubine Xun. When she went out, she took the other people in the yard with her. Therefore, in the room, besides the unconscious old prince, there were only Concubine Xun, her son Song Shiyun, and her daughter-in-law, Bai, the daughter of the Junior Official of the Dali Temple.

Bai has been married for several years. Now she has a son and a daughter. Naturally, her status in the mansion cannot be underestimated. To put it bluntly, she doesn't even take the Crown Prince's Consort Jiang Shijin seriously.

When I heard the news today, I naturally thought that a vicious plan had emerged.

"Mother, this is a good opportunity. The Crown Prince's wife had a miscarriage and my third brother died suddenly. It can be said that it was all caused by the Princess. If we take this opportunity to step on the Crown Prince, maybe my husband can move up a level."

She spoke this in a low voice.

Basically only three people could hear it, but Concubine Xun and Song Shiyun also had excitement in their eyes, and it was obvious that they agreed with her proposal.

"I was wondering why the princess would suddenly visit the Zhao family. So this is what she meant."

"Don't worry, mother. After all, Zhao Yuyan is only a concubine of the prince. If she wants to become the principal wife, she must at least have a child in her belly. But Jiang Shijin is not a tolerant person. If you ask me, the sooner Zhao Yuyan enters the palace, the more stimulation she can bear, the better. This way, we can save time to stir up trouble."

Bai is a man of deep thoughts and ruthless tactics.

In just this short moment, she had already thought of several schemes. She had wanted to sow discord before, but had no way to do so. Now, the princess went to the Zhao family at this juncture, and it was obvious that Jiang Shijin's position as the Crown Prince's Consort would be in danger.

And she knew very well the thoughts of those who climbed up from a low position. They would definitely try every possible means to get what they wanted. When she was at her wit's end, she would appear and everything would be much easier.

Thinking of this, Bai smiled even happier than the mother and son opposite her. After all, if their lineage could seize the position of the crown prince, the beneficiaries would be her and her child.

She is absolutely willing to provide a future for her children.

Poor Prince Chun was in a deep coma, and before he even woke up, he was deprived of everything by the person beside him and his son and daughter-in-law. At this moment, Princess Chun finally persuaded the Zhao family after much persuasion and had the concubine sent over three days later.

Putting down the teacup in her hand, Princess Chun gave instructions to her son.

"When Yuyan comes in, you can live in her room. If she can get pregnant soon, we will have a chance. Otherwise, there will be more troubles."

Hearing this, Prince Song nodded helplessly, but what he was thinking about was Jiang Shiyuan, whom he had met today. He didn't know what she was doing now. When he thought of this, his heart felt like it was scratched by a cat's claws, and he was quite worried.

Seeing that he was a little dazed, Princess Chun was puzzled.

"What are you thinking about, so lost in thought?"

"Mother, why did you insist on letting your son marry the eldest daughter of the Jiang family?"

"Huh, you ask me why now? Don't you think it's a little late?"

Prince Song looked embarrassed, but still refused to give up and even put all the blame on Jiang Shijin. At the moment, she was unconscious and naturally could not say anything.

"Mother, I was deceived. I thought she was the eldest daughter of the Jiang family. I lost control of myself... Who knew that I was actually being plotted against? I have been thinking about it over the past few months. I feel that if I had listened to mother, we would not be so passive now with the support of Wenyuan Marquis Mansion."

Song Shi was also the biological son of Princess Chun, so Princess Chun naturally knew what he was thinking. She glanced at her son with an unpredictable look on her face, and it was not wrong to say that she was not doing well!

"Hmph, I think you are attracted by her looks! Miss Jiang is a stunning beauty. I told you to think it over before making a decision. How could you be so determined to marry Jiang Shijin? Now you tell me you regret it, but it's too late! I warn you, she is already engaged to the Pei family. Pei Zisu is very popular in front of His Majesty, so don't cause yourself any trouble!"

Her words made Song Shi feel a little unconvinced, but he had to admit that this was the fact.

At least now it is impossible for him to compete with the Pei family or Pei Zisu.

Thinking of this, I feel deflated.

"No, son. I was just asking out of curiosity."

"No, it's best not to. Besides, with her sickly body, I don't care if she wants to marry me now. The Zhao family's girl is more suitable. I'll have someone send some pregnancy-maintaining medicine over. You and your wife can drink it and get pregnant sooner. Only then will your position as the crown prince be secure. Do you understand?"

"I know, mother."

After saying that, Song Shi didn't want to stay any longer, so he got up and left, making the excuse that he had something to do outside. After he left, Princess Chun sighed.

"If I had known this today, why did I do it in the first place?"

Although she didn't like Miss Jiang's body, she could still rely on the power behind her. In theory, Zhao Fengchang's family could not compare with her, but now, even if she thought about it, it would be useless, and she would offend the Pei family inexplicably, so it was better to stay away from her.

"Go and look for a girl in private to see if there is any girl who looks a bit like Miss Jiang, who is healthier and has a clean family background. She can be kept outside to entertain the prince. The Zhao family is really arrogant now. Humph, I want to see if the girl from the Zhao family has the ability to live up to their attitude!"

"Yes, princess."

Everyone in Prince Chun's Mansion is busy with their own things now, and everyone is scheming against each other. Compared to them, the Jiang family is much more united.

The news that Aunt Hai had passed away was delivered to Prince Chun's Mansion early in the morning.

Naturally, the third son Song Shizhui also "died of illness". The Jiang family gathered in the front hall today, and even the sick old lady Jiang was arranged to come and listen to the trial.

Who was being tried? Of course, it was the second wife, Zhang.

After being hungry for several days, she no longer had the sharp tongue she once had, and her hair was much messier. She was far different from the girl who used to wear gold and silver.

In addition to the people from the Jiang family, Jiang Huaishan was not shy about inviting his mother-in-law, Old Lady Wang, and Zhang's mother, Old Lady Zhang, to attend today.

Accompanying them were, of course, Madam Pei, the Marquis, and Zhang Xingchun.

All the people sitting in the hall were related to the Jiang family. As for Jiang Shiyuan and other children, they were also present and arranged to sit nearby to watch Jiang Huaishan's family try the case.

Mrs. Zhang felt pained when she saw her daughter's frail appearance.

But they are just businessmen. Now they have no one to rely on and no power in Xijing City. So it is useless to feel distressed. They can only hope that the Jiang family will show leniency and not really kill them!
