Chapter 13 The heroine is here
However, it seemed that his fate was not much better than that of his fourth brother. Not only did he have to endure the torture of illness every day, but he also had to endure the torture of his mistress, and he died when he was less than two years old.

Thinking of this, Xu Yaoyao began to feel sorry for herself.

Finally, I couldn’t help but curse: This damn plot.

Princess Chaoyang clenched her hands tightly, her eyes were red as if blood was about to drip out.

Her four biological sons were thrown into the river by her mistress!

How dare she, how dare she!

Poisonous woman! Poisonous woman!
She really wanted to kill that vicious woman right now!
What about the prince consort? He was his own flesh and blood after all, so would he just ignore him? Or was he really that cruel?
Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, so why is he so cruel!

What kind of person has she fallen in love with over the past decade?

Princess Chaoyang suddenly found that the lover she married at all costs had become such a stranger.

No, it should be said that she had never seen him clearly.

Princess Chaoyang tossed and turned, and could not fall asleep until the hour of midnight.

She called out Yingyi again and asked faintly, "Yingyi, when you went to check on the house next door today, was Nianyue there too?"

Ying Yi thought carefully about the scene at that time and replied, "Yes, I thought I saw it wrong at that time, but now that I think about it carefully, it is indeed the eldest lady."

"Understood, you go down."

Princess Chaoyang felt cold all over and her body was shaking violently.

She thought that she could find a loophole in Yaoyao's thoughts and prove that Yaoyao's thoughts were not always right. Then maybe her fourth son would not have been thrown into the river. But now, there was no such luck.

She stared at the bed curtains above her, hatred flashing in her eyes.

Day two.

Xu Jinhuai came to Princess Chaoyang's bedroom early in the morning and said he wanted to have breakfast with Princess Chaoyang.

Following behind Xu Jinhuai was the wet nurse who was driven out of the house yesterday.

Seeing the princess's confusion, Xu Jinhuai explained, "Qing'er, I was worried that it would be hard for you to feed Yaoyao alone, so I found the wet nurse and kept her as a backup for you."

Princess Chaoyang knew that Xu Jinhuai was still thinking about exchanging his child.

Fortunately, she no longer had any hope for Xu Jin, so she smiled and said, "Okay, let's keep it."

Xu Jinhuai did not notice that there was a deep indifference in Princess Chaoyang's smile.

Xu Jinhuai personally served Princess Chaoyang a bowl of red porridge, carefully placed it beside Princess Chaoyang, and said gently: "This porridge is the best for nourishing the stomach and replenishing qi and blood. Qing'er must drink some."

After saying that, he looked towards the inner room and asked, "Where's Yaoyao? Is she still sleeping?"

Princess Chaoyang looked at the red porridge in front of her, slightly stunned. It turned out that she had been blinded by his gentle and attentive care.

She picked up the spoon and slowly stirred the porridge in front of her, saying, "He just woke up once, and fell asleep again after feeding."

Xu Jinhuai smiled dotingly and said, "She is a sleepyhead."

Princess Chaoyang had a smile on her face, but her eyes were cold. "Yaoyao is still young, it's normal for her to be sleepy."

After she finished speaking, she seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Xu Jinhuai and said, "By the way, when Nanny and Juxiang were changing Yaoyao's clothes yesterday, they discovered something strange."

"Oh? What's so strange?" Xu Jinhuai asked with interest. Princess Chaoyang's smile deepened, "Yaoyao's shoulder actually has a lotus-shaped birthmark, just like a real lotus, lifelike and very beautiful."

A trace of astonishment flashed across Xu Jinhuai's eyes, and then instantly turned into a gentle smile, "Is it really so beautiful? I want to see it with my own eyes."

"Your Highness has to go to the Ministry of Works later, so you should finish your breakfast first." Princess Chaoyang said as she picked up a piece of food for Xu Jinhuai with her chopsticks.

"Thank you Qing'er." Xu Jinhuai's voice was filled with affection.

But in Princess Chaoyang's eyes, such deep affection had already become false.

After dinner, Xu Jinhuai couldn’t wait to go to the inner room, wanting to see the birthmark on Xu Yaoyao’s shoulder with his own eyes.

Although it is difficult to identify a newborn baby as they look different every day, the birthmark on their body is ironclad evidence. If Xu Yaoyao had a birthmark on her shoulder, but Xu Ruyu, who was replaced, did not, Princess Chaoyang would easily discover the flaw.

Maybe Xu Jinhuai was a little anxious when he was looking at the birthmark, and he woke Xu Yaoyao up.

Xu Yaoyao yawned, looking at the big face in front of her, and felt that her scumbag father seemed to be stripping off her clothes.

It seems that my mother has already told my scumbag father about the birthmark. Is she anxious to see what the birthmark looks like?
What would it matter if he knew? Could he help Xu Ruyu forge an identical one?
She rolled her eyes at Xu Jinhuai, then waved her little hands and slapped Xu Jinhuai twice.

Xu Jinhuai was observing the lotus birthmark carefully when he was suddenly slapped twice on the face. His face instantly turned dark.

This was the second time Xu Yaoyao slapped him. He looked at Xu Yaoyao on the small bed with gloomy eyes and felt more and more displeased.

But for some reason, as he watched, he suddenly felt that Xu Yaoyao on the small bed seemed to be rolling her eyes at him, as if she looked down on him.

Is he seeing things? How can such a young baby roll his eyes at someone?

He must be dazzled.

Xu Jinhuai rubbed his eyes, put on a gentle smile again, walked outside, took Princess Chaoyang's soft and boneless hand and said, "Qing'er, I saw it, the birthmark is exactly the same as Lianhua's."

Princess Chaoyang naturally withdrew her hands and deliberately emphasized: "Yes, this birthmark is unique. Even if Yaoyao is lost accidentally, I can find her back with the birthmark."

Xu Jinhuai's eyes flashed with guilt, "Qing'er is right."

Then he took Princess Chaoyang's hand again and said, "Qing'er, I still have official business to attend to. I will come to accompany you after I finish it."

Princess Chaoyang nodded understandingly as usual.

After the prince consort left, Princess Chaoyang called Juxiang and asked, "Did the prince consort return home last night?"

Juxiang replied, "No, he said he was really busy with work, so he stayed at the Ministry of Works and only came back early this morning."

A sneer flashed across Princess Chaoyang's lips.

Ministry of Industry? He must be staying in the house next door. She could smell a strong scent of powder on him, which showed that he had just separated from another woman.

The reason why he went back to the princess's mansion so early in the morning was just to relocate the wet nurse to her courtyard.

Princess Chaoyang found that her mind had never been so clear.

At the same time, a mechanical voice sounded in Xu Yaoyao's ears:

[Congratulations to the host for successfully traveling across time. This is a small world in a book. This world has four nations standing side by side. It seems peaceful on the surface, but in reality, there are undercurrents.]

[The place where the host is located is called Fusu State. The host is the youngest daughter of Yu Yue'er, the concubine of Princess Chaoyang, and is also the heroine of this book.]
