Chapter 118 The legitimate daughter whose engagement was broken off 15
Although Wei Lanxue was driven to this dilapidated manor, she was not panicked. These days, she gradually woke up, thought carefully about the past, and vaguely discovered another truth.
When she and Sun Yuerong were in the Prince's Mansion, they fought openly and secretly for the purpose of having the baby in her belly become the next Prince. They schemed and harmed each other in various ways. In the end, both of them suffered losses.
Chu Zisu's only two possible offspring are gone, and who is the real beneficiary of all this? Who instigated her and Sun Yuerong to fight each other so that he could reap the benefits?
A name slowly emerged in Wei Lanxue's mind. It was the second son of the Prince's Mansion, Chu Zisu's younger brother, Chu Ziyu.
It was he who bought the medicine for me, giving me the opportunity to harm Sun Yuerong. And I was in a hurry to deal with Sun Yuerong because she accidentally revealed to me when she visited me that the prince and princess planned to choose one of her and Sun Yuerong's children to be the heir to the prince's mansion.
Wei Lanxue still remembered that when Chu Zisu came to see her, she said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, you must take good care of him and try to give birth to a big fat boy for big brother. By then, the nephew you give birth to will definitely be more legitimate than the one Sun Yuerong gave birth to. Father is waiting to pass the position to his grandson!"
At that time, Wei Lanxue thought that Chu Ziyu had accidentally let the cat out of the bag. She even deliberately tried to find out information from Chu Ziyu in a roundabout way. Only then did she make up her mind to get rid of Sun Yuerong in a hurry.
It is terrifying to think about it carefully. Chu Ziyu is not even thirteen years old, but he already has such a scheming plan. Unfortunately, Wei Lanxue had just lost her child at that time, had lost too much blood, and was beaten unconscious, so she did not have time to tell others that Chu Ziyu helped her buy the medicine.
Now that Chu Zisu has no descendants, if the Prince's Mansion wants to continue, it can only rely on Chu Ziyu's lineage.
Wei Lanxue knew that both she and Sun Yuerong had been plotted against by Chu Ziyu, but she did not intend to let Chu Ziyu off easily. Now she had something on Chu Ziyu, so she planned to find Chu Ziyu as soon as she recovered and get as many benefits as possible.
After all, the stingy Minister Wei only gave them mother and daughter a little silver. The money for her recovery and medicine came from the private savings that little Wei secretly saved, so it was not much, and was not enough for them mother and daughter to live on in the future.
Si Ying and Tuan Tuan had been secretly observing the situation of several people. After knowing that Sun Yuerong was dead, Wei Lanxue cleverly thought of the key to the matter. Si Ying raised her eyebrows. This person is indeed a smart person. No wonder the original owner was so badly deceived by Wei Lanxue time and time again in his previous life.
But now she has to keep Wei Lanxue alive. After all, she has to use this smart woman to deal with Chu Ziyu, the cruel and ruthless culprit.
Chu Zisu is guilty, and Chu Ziyu, who drugged the original owner, is not a good person either.
He agreed to get engaged to the original owner in order to gain the attention of the prince and princess. Then when he grew up and became capable, he despised the original owner because she was not wanted by his eldest brother and broke off the engagement with her. The original owner had been delayed by him for three years and was no longer of age.
If he had not agreed at the beginning, although the original owner might not marry into a family as prominent as the Prince's, she could still marry a minor official, become the official's wife, take care of her husband and children, and live an ordinary life.
He caused the original owner to become an old maid and be talked about by the world. After he failed to break off the engagement, he plotted to harm the original owner, which ultimately led to the tragedy of the original owner's family.
Si Ying doesn't intend to let go of any of the people who harmed the original owner.
The Prince's Mansion has been dead silent recently, and the happiest person in the whole mansion is, of course, Chu Ziyu, the planner of the whole thing. He has been in a very good mood recently. Even though the Prince's Wife still ignores him, cares about her eldest son, and uses all the precious medicinal materials in the warehouse to nourish Chu Zisu's body, Chu Ziyu doesn't care.
It's useless. In his opinion, Chu Zisu is just a useless person who can never have offspring. Why should he bother with that cripple?
What he really needs to do is to take advantage of this opportunity to perform well and strive to gain the attention of the prince, so as to gradually replace Chu Zisu's position in his heart.
Chu Ziyu has already seen that the prince has begun to get tired of Chu Zisuo, who has brought shame to him. He will no longer be the prince's pride, and in the future, he is the only one who can become the heir in the prince's heart.
Haha, Chu Ziyu happily walked towards his elder brother Chu Zisuo's yard. His good elder brother liked to see him being beaten when he was a child. Now it was time for him to go visit his good elder brother and see how miserable his life was after falling from the clouds.
Chu Zisu has been staying indoors recently, and the Princess is extremely worried. She visits him every day to comfort him, fearing that he might become depressed.
So Chu Ziyu walked leisurely to the door of his elder brother Chu Zisu's room, and heard the voice of the Princess from inside, "Su'er, you have to cheer up. You are the eldest son of our Prince's Mansion. In the future, the Prince's Mansion will have to rely on you to shoulder the heavy burden."
Chu Zisu didn't say anything, and the Princess continued in a low voice, "Su'er, don't worry. When your brother gets married, mother will find you another wife. When your brother and his family give birth to a boy, we will bring him over and register him under your name as your legitimate son. My son will not be extinct, mother is here."
In the room, the Princess of the County comforted the depressed Chu Zisu. Outside the room, Chu Ziyu clenched his fists in anger. It was like this again. It had always been like this since he was a child. The Princess of the County would only think of ways to help Chu Zisu. Just like this time, she actually planned to plot against her future legitimate son.
As for him, whenever something happened to him since he was a child, the princess would just ignore him coldly, or speak coldly and mock him for being a playboy and a disaster, and said that she should not have given birth to him in the first place.
All this happened because, when the Princess gave birth to him, she was overnourished and the fetus was too large, so she almost lost her life.
Chu Ziyu gritted his teeth and turned to leave. He hated it. He also didn't want to come out of the Princess's belly. He didn't need a mother like that.
The Princess of the County did not know that all her plans had been heard by her youngest son. She was still fantasizing and trying to comfort Chu Zisu by sending her youngest son away so that he would never see the child again.
The Princess Royal did not like this youngest son who almost cost her life, so she was ruthless in her plot against him.
Chu Ziyu went back to his study to study. He had to take part in the imperial examination as soon as possible and get good grades to impress the prince.
However, although he was smart and calculating, he was not good at studying. After reading for a while, he felt dizzy and irritable. He tore up a few pieces of waste paper in annoyance to vent his anger.
At this time, a servant came in to report that this was a confidant he had specially cultivated to belong to his own power, and many things were ordered to be done by him.
Like this time, he ordered this person to kill Wei Lanxue and her daughter. Chu Ziyu only realized later that he shouldn't have personally delivered the medicine to Wei Lanxue, which left a loophole. Fortunately, Wei Lanxue didn't react and betrayed him. But he decided to avoid more trouble and quickly get rid of the person, and then put the blame on his eldest brother Chu Zisu.
The people who came back knelt down to report that the operation had failed. Someone was secretly protecting Wei Lanxue. Not only did they fail to kill anyone, but they were also killed by the other party several times. They were almost caught alive and left with evidence. Fortunately, he and his men ran away quickly and hurried back to report.
Chu Ziyu's previous good mood was completely swept away this time. He angrily grabbed the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table and threw them at his confidant, cursing, "Useless thing!"
