Reborn as the crippled king's favorite

Chapter 59 Ah Jiu and I have a close connection
With his cheeks slightly red, Murong Jiu quickly shook off the image in his mind and told himself not to continue thinking about it.

Her expression didn't change much, and Fu Baozhu was afraid he would be disappointed if he wanted to see her lose her composure.

"Pearl, go and ask..."

Before Murong Jiu finished speaking, Eunuch Shi came over.

"Princess, the prince has sent this slave to tell you that your seventh cousin has left the palace, so you don't have to worry."

Although Murong Jiu was suspicious, he didn't ask any more questions in front of Fu Baozhu. He just nodded and said, "I understand. Thank you father-in-law for making the trip."

"It should be, it should be."

Fu Baozhu was scratching his head and was extremely curious. Seeing that Murong Jiu couldn't ask anything here, he was naturally too lazy to stay any longer and left with Grandma Fan.

After Fan returned home, she sent someone to the Marquis' Mansion to inquire about Murong Qian.

It wasn't until it was almost dark that the news came from the Hou Mansion.

"W-What? Murong Qian is pregnant?"

Fu Baozhu's eyes widened and he prolonged his voice in disbelief.

An unmarried girl who doesn't even have a fiancé gets pregnant. This is an extremely shocking thing no matter where it is.

"Could the child belong to Prince Ling?"

Otherwise, how could she find Jun Yuyan with a jade pendant?

Thinking of this, Fu Baozhu's face suddenly sank.

"Murong Qian didn't say anything. It's not clear who the child belongs to, but it shouldn't be the prince's. Otherwise, the prince would have her whipped?"

Grandma Fan said.

Fu Baozhu squinted his eyes: "Is the child still there?"

Aunt Fan nodded: "It's still there. Since the Hou Mansion doesn't know whether it is the prince's son, they don't dare to abort the child rashly now, but they don't dare to publicize it. After all, there are so many young ladies who are still unmarried. Spread out and affect your reputation.”

"In my opinion, we should quickly get rid of the child in her belly, twist her hair and send her to a nunnery. If she were not afraid of affecting the family's reputation, this kind of woman should be dipped in a pig cage!"

Fu Baozhu said fiercely.

At this moment, the maid's voice suddenly came from outside: "Miss! The master and the young masters are back!"

Grandma Fan lowered her voice: "Stop talking, just pretend you don't know about such scandalous things."

"understood."

Fu Baozhu looked happy. Her father and brother had finally come back after going out to suppress bandits, and she had to go over to greet him.

At the dinner table, General Fu asked: "I heard that Bao'er went to Prince Ling's Mansion today. How is it? Is the princess treating you well?"

Fu Baozhu's eyes flashed. She wanted to say no, but she would have to go to the palace in the future. If she couldn't say no, her father and brother might not let her go, so she had to say that the princess treated her well.

Then she said in an innocent tone:

"But the princess sister is very strange. She has a very beautiful maid. I heard that she bought it out of pity when she and the prince were out, but she asked such a beautiful maid to pour the chamber pot and sweep the floor. I don't know what I think. What if? Me, I will definitely let her be my personal maid, such a beautiful maid is so pleasing to the eyes."

She couldn't criticize Murong Jiu openly, she could speak ill of Murong Jiu secretly, making both her father and brother think that Murong Jiu was a jealous woman.

Fu Chuan, the eldest son of Fu, said: "Bao'er, you can't just take everything at face value. You only met that maid once. You don't know what kind of character she is, so you can't jump to conclusions."

The third brother Fu Han also said: "Yes, being able to buy the poor maid shows that the princess is kind-hearted. After all, the person who bought her does not know the truth, so it is most appropriate for her to be a low-level maid."

The second brother Fu Sheng said nothing, but nodded along.

Fu Baozhu was very unhappy and felt a sense of crisis.She found that her father and brother seemed to have a good impression of Murong Jiu.

Are ugly people worthy of that?
At this time, General Fu said again: "It just so happens that the matter in Minghua Mountain has been dealt with. Tomorrow, Bao'er, you will come with us to the palace again. I will take your brothers to thank the princess in person."

Fu Baozhu said hurriedly: "Didn't I already thank you that day? Baoer also thanked you for you!"

She really didn't want her father and brother to interact with Murong Jiu anymore.

"How can it be the same? The princess has done a great favor to your third brother. She must bring a thank you gift in person to express her gratitude. Bao'er, people must have a grateful heart. Although the princess saved people just unintentionally, she quietly changed Mr. Zhou. The fate of our young master also prevented the relationship between our General’s Mansion and the Minister’s Mansion from turning into an enemy. Maybe she doesn’t think it’s a big deal, but our family must thank her.”

As soon as she heard General Fu's sermon, Fu Baozhu felt irritable. She hated such long speeches, as if she was not a person who repaid kindness.

She lowered her head: "Bao'er knows that he was wrong. Dad, tomorrow Bao'er will accompany his father and brothers to the palace to find the princess and sister."

General Fu and the three brothers Fu Heng all laughed.

Fu Han even gave Fu Baozhu a full bowl of vegetables.

The next day, the General's Mansion sent a greeting card.

However, Jun Yuyan had already entered the palace. Although Murong Jiu wanted to receive him in person, he was worried that something would be wrong, so he asked Butler Lin to reply and said that the prince would not return home until this afternoon.

So General Fu said he would come back in the afternoon.

For some reason, because they were coming to the palace, Murong Jiu was inexplicably excited. She stayed up after lunch and asked Chuntao to dress her up.

"Miss, please rest for a while. What if you feel uncomfortable later?"

Chuntao said worriedly.

She was afraid that the young lady would have morning sickness later, which would cause trouble.

The prince must not find out that the young lady is pregnant.

It had only been a few peaceful days since the young lady came to the palace, and Chuntao was afraid that the young lady would be kicked out.

"It should be fine. I don't feel any discomfort now."

Perhaps it was because of her mood that she didn't feel nauseated at the moment.

When the prince came back from the palace, he came to her first.

"I have secretly investigated the matter of the strange fragrance on Hui Gui's body. It is indeed the strange fragrance from the Western Regions. Before she entered the palace, there was no strange fragrance on her body. Her personal maid can testify. Although the maid has been sold, It has been found by my people."

"Have the people behind her been found out?" Murong Jiu asked.

"It's the Queen, but I have no definite evidence."

"Then how does the prince plan to inform his father about this matter?"

Jun Yuyan asked her: "Ajiu, if you were me, what would you do?"

Murong Jiu did not expect that he would ask this question.

After thinking about it, she said: "My father is now doting on Hui Guiren, and if he rashly exposes it, it may affect the relationship between your father and son. Why not, find a way to let Hui Guiren reveal himself, so that the father will become suspicious first. It is best to go to the queen." According to the guidance of the body, father should trust his own judgment more than other people's words."

A smile appeared on Jun Yuyan's face: "Ajiu and I are really in tune with each other, and I think so too."

His words were so gentle that Murong Jiu's earlobes were red and bleeding.

Fortunately, someone came to report that General Fu and his family came to visit.
