Chapter 69: Find a New Father for the Child!
Chapter 69: Find a New Father for the Child!
"Sister Ning, after Su Yunjin entered the manor, General Lu—"
Jiang Yueli put it tactfully: Ning He let Su Yunjin in, intending to start a power struggle within the household.
It seems the goal is still Lu Zhiyan!
Ning He looked around the courtyard for a moment, then suddenly instructed Yun Mo'er, "Mo'er, go to the small kitchen and get some more pastries. I'm a little hungry."
Yun Mo'er immediately agreed and turned to leave the small garden.
Now, only Ning Hejiang Yueli, Zhou Weiziyu, and Hongxiu remain here.
Jiang Yueli naturally understood Ning He's meaning and said proactively, "Don't worry, Sister Ning, these are all my trusted confidantes."
Ning He nodded, a hint of ruthlessness flashing across her face.
"Lu Zhiyan is disloyal and unjust to me, so why should I care about him anymore?"
"I will never divorce, because every blade of grass and every tree in this general's mansion should belong to me."
"If it weren't for my father's support, could Lu Zhiyan have gotten to where he is today?"
"So, I don't want men, but I want the General's Mansion."
The eldest princess was startled, having already guessed Ning He's plan.
"Sister Ning, is it time to prepare—"
“That’s right, let the father go and keep the son!” Ning He said decisively.
She didn't want a divorce; she wanted to preserve the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Even if she divorces and goes back to her parents' home, the Prime Minister's residence will inevitably be the subject of gossip!
As a divorced woman, her future survival will only become more difficult.
Therefore, Ning He needs an heir to the General's Mansion.
"The day I give birth to my child will be the day Lu Zhiyan dies."
As Ning He spoke, a resolute and determined look appeared in her eyes.
If Lu Zhiyan dared to betray her, then this was the only outcome he could have!
It's just murdering her husband, what's the big deal?
She's killed people on the battlefield before!
Jiang Yueli admired Ning He's plan but felt a sense of regret.
This plan was the optimal solution Ning He had come up with after weighing the pros and cons.
However, Ning He overlooked a key point.
That is, Su Yunjin is extraordinary!
In her previous life, Ning He did indeed become pregnant, but due to Su Yunjin's machinations, her health deteriorated day by day.
He's practically turning into a skeleton!
Given her physical condition at the time, it would have been impossible for her to fight against those two despicable women, Su Yunjin and Lu Zhiyan!
Ning He's plan stems from her personality.
She had already trained in the military and had been on the battlefield, so she was decisive and ruthless.
She was a noblewoman from a high-ranking family and had been incredibly confident since childhood.
I never imagined that I would be no match for Su Yunjin and Lu Zhiyan!
But things are unpredictable, and such a plan can easily lead to complete failure if there is even the slightest mistake.
At this moment, Jiang Yueli finally understood what Ning He had been thinking in her previous life.
However, she was someone who had been through it all and knew that Ning He ultimately failed!
Jiang Yueli was a little anxious, unsure how to remind Ning He.
If Su Yunjin were to be brought into the General's Mansion, it would be tantamount to keeping a poisonous snake by one's side.
Thinking back to her previous life, Su Yunjin dissected Ning He alive on the battlefield.
Jiang Yueli then wanted to use every kind of torture on Su Yunjin!
But Ning He is unaware of Su Yunjin's wickedness.
Ning He is an upright person. She made up her mind to kill her husband because Lu Zhiyan betrayed her, but she had no intention of killing Su Yunjin.
After a long while, Jiang Yueli still couldn't find a reason to persuade Ning He not to do it.
There is only one way to prevent Ning He from following the same path.
Kill Su Yunjin!
Jiang Yueli narrowed her eyes, a murderous intent forming in her mind.
At this point, she was unaware that her thoughts were slowly changing.
This is the first time Jiang Yueli has wanted to directly confront the female lead with her destiny since her rebirth!
The agony she experienced on her deathbed in her previous life instilled fear and made Jiang Yueli shrink back, leaving a deep psychological scar in her heart.
He decided that he would never easily provoke the heroine of destiny in this life, and would wait for the right opportunity to strike.
But when Jiang Yueli saw Ning He about to go down the same old path, her once arrogant heart was filled with passion again!
Jiang Yueli, who was immersed in murderous intent, suddenly felt a pair of hands gripping her.
He looked up and met Ning He's disapproving gaze.
The two had been close since childhood, so how could Ning He not know what Jiang Yueli was thinking?
This is merely a domestic matter, yet it's inappropriate for the dignified Princess Jiang Yueli to intervene.
"Yue Li, I know what I'm doing, so don't worry!"
Jiang Yueli was extremely anxious; how could she be at ease?
Keeping Su Yunjin by your side is tantamount to setting yourself on fire.
Su Yunjin has drugs that can induce multiple pregnancies. Given the chance, she will definitely make Ning He take that evil substance.
Not to mention that Jiang Yueli's cultivation has not yet recovered, even if it had, she would be helpless against such an evil creature.
She was reborn, not became an immortal overnight!
Moreover, she couldn't tell anyone else about her rebirth.
Anxious, Jiang Yueli began to sweat, and she was restless.
But he knew that if he didn't persuade Ning He this time, he would have no chance!
Su Yunjin has been in jail for many days, and Lu Zhiyan's patience has reached its limit.
This matter has reached a point where it must be faced!
Zhou Wei looked at the princess, who seemed to be sitting on pins and needles, and didn't understand what was wrong with her.
Could it be that Ning He's plan suited Jiang Yueli's tastes, making her too excited?
However, Zhou Wei really wanted to pour cold water on Ning He and Jiang Yueli.
Zhou Wei was familiar with the plot and knew that Ning He ultimately failed!
Her idea was good, but she couldn't beat Su Yunjin, the transmigrated woman who possessed a spatial spring.
They have cheat codes!
Even if you're a skilled woman confined to your chambers, you're no match for a time-traveling woman.
Furthermore, because the child was an extremely important part of Ning He's plan, it gave Su Yunjin the opportunity to feed him the fertility pills.
However, Zhou Wei does have a solution to this problem!
The key to deciding whether to keep the son or leave the father lies in the son himself.
Once you have a "son," who the father is doesn't really matter!
However, this was far too unconventional for women in ancient times.
Zhou Wei was afraid that if she told Ning He, he wouldn't be able to accept it.
Therefore, she first probed, "Miss Ning, from what you've said, it seems that you no longer have any feelings for General Lu?"
Ning He did not find Zhou Wei's question impolite.
She replied truthfully, "Of course not—to be precise, never."
"My marriage to Lu Zhiyan was arranged by our parents and a matchmaker. Since we were both going to get married anyway, it didn't really matter who we married."
very good!
With this determination to forget love and abandon all affection, Miss Ning, you will succeed in whatever you do.
Zhou Wei coughed lightly, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.
This affected manner is unlike her usual self.
Even Hongxiu couldn't help but say, "Zhou Wei, just say what you want to say. Are you ever shy?"
Jiang Yueli laughed along, "Yes, Weiwei, you're usually fearless, why are you being so reserved today?"
Jiang Yueli picked up her teacup, indicating that Zhou Wei could speak freely.
You're the ones who made me say this!
Don't blame me if you get scared later.
Zhou Wei looked at Ning He and said directly, "Miss Ning, I think your plan is actually very risky."
"Let's not even talk about the fact that we don't know Su Yunjin well, and we don't know if she has any other tricks up her sleeve."
"Just considering that she earned enough money to build a gold shop in the capital in just a few months, she should not be underestimated."
These words hit the nail on the head, immediately putting Ning He to her senses.
"What does Aunt Zhou mean?" Ning He asked humbly.
Zhou Wei said, "I think the current situation is actually quite good. Everyone is at a stalemate, and neither side is willing to back down."
"Miss Ning, you should not have any idea of bringing Su Yunjin in to torment her. Just leave her outside and see how she causes trouble."
"As for what Miss Ning said about leaving the father and keeping the son... it's not really necessary to have General Lu!"
cough--
Jiang Yueli was drinking tea when she almost choked, and it took her a while to recover.
Jiang Yueli clutched her chest and looked at Zhou Wei with terror in her eyes!
Zhou Wei shrugged, looking somewhat helpless.
See, you all insisted I tell you, and now you're all shocked!
"This...how can this be?" Little Ziyu was terrified. "Isn't this...isn't this..."
Ziyu wanted to say that she had committed adultery, but she couldn't bring herself to say it to Ninghe no matter what.
Zhou Wei replied nonchalantly, "So what?"
"Oh, so Lu Zhiyan is allowed to have a beautiful concubine outside, but Miss Ning isn't allowed to change the father of her child?"
