Chapter 382 Cannon Fodder Bastard Sister 8
Su Wunian was confined to her own courtyard and was not allowed to step out without the Crown Prince's permission.
The palace maids served her closely for twelve hours a day, never allowing her to leave their sight for even a moment.
Because the Crown Prince had decreed that if anything happened to the child in the concubine's womb, all the palace servants would have to be buried alive with her.
Although Su Wunian did not want this child, she did not want to implicate innocent people.
The lives of so many palace servants rested on her shoulders, putting her in a difficult position.
The crown prince was betting that she wouldn't be so heartless.
Actually, they were overthinking it. After taking the medication to clear the fetus, the pregnancy wouldn't be so easily miscarried.
Baili Xuance also told Su Wanrou to take good care of herself during her pregnancy, since there was a 50% chance that the child was his.
Anyone who's been through it knows that gay men can't keep their secrets.
After that incident, for some reason, the Crown Prince and Baili Xuance found themselves unable to keep their distance.
Sometimes, during court sessions, people behind you would suddenly smell a strange odor.
However, due to his status as the crown prince, he dared not say much and could only complain inwardly.
The Crown Prince has no manners at all; he keeps farting.
This smell is so strong, I hope I don't poop in my pants.
The minister gazed at the crown prince's retreating figure, his eyes filled with sorrow.
In truth, the Crown Prince was also feeling uneasy, yet he couldn't let anyone notice his unusual behavior.
Otherwise, I'm afraid I really wouldn't have the face to see anyone.
He didn't know why, but lately his daily routine had become like this.
He secretly consulted the imperial physician, who advised him to exercise restraint.
Damn, the Crown Prince looked completely bewildered. What was there to restrain?
What does his defecation have to do with restraint? Quack doctor.
Without saying a word, he ordered his men to drag the imperial physician out and beat him with a board. The imperial physician was wronged, even more wronged than Dou E.
Are you suggesting we let him get close enough to use his ultimate skill so the Crown Prince will have less contact with men?
General Baili was just as troubled as the Crown Prince; the two were practically brothers in misfortune.
Qingmo was completely unaware of the good deed she had done.
She's now living a good life in the mansion, enjoying her food and having gained some status, all thanks to her aunt who has regained the Grand Tutor's favor.
The First Madam was preoccupied with her daughter's wedding some time ago and couldn't deal with Concubine Wen.
Now that he has some free time, seeing how much the Grand Tutor dotes on one of his concubines, he makes Aunt Wen go to the main wife's courtyard to learn etiquette every day, which is quite a hardship for her.
Qingmo saw it all and secretly kept it in mind.
He made a note for the First Madam in his little notebook.
The weather is getting cold; the Grand Tutor must be losing his wife.
That day, a palace maid rushed in to report, "Consort, the Crown Prince asks you to prepare. He will be returning to the Grand Tutor's residence with you later."
Su Wunian frowned. What was the purpose of returning to the manor? Did the Crown Prince have some ulterior motive?
"Oh! Did the Crown Prince say what the matter was about?"
The palace maid looked troubled, unsure of how to begin.
"Please speak freely, I won't blame you."
“This… Concubine, I heard that your mother has passed away, and the Crown Prince wants you to go back for the funeral.”
"what?"
Su Wunian was shocked, and the teacup in her hand fell to the ground.
"How could this be, how could this be... In my previous life, I clearly..."
Su Wunian panicked instantly. Her mother was perfectly fine in the previous two lives, so why did she suddenly die in this one?
Could it be that my own rebirth triggered the butterfly effect?
She didn't have time to think it through and hurriedly got up to go home.
She paid no attention to the Crown Prince's company; he was merely giving face to the Grand Tutor, and she wouldn't presume to be affectionate.
Throughout the journey, Su Wunian was extremely anxious, and memories of her past with her mother kept flashing through her mind.
She hated everyone in the Grand Tutor's mansion. In her previous life, she killed everyone, but she spared only her mother. How could this life be different?
That's her mother, the mother who has loved her since she was a child.
The father had many illegitimate children, and his love was not pure; he only cared about interests.
But mothers are different; they always cherish their children.
When the carriage arrived at the Grand Tutor's residence, Su Wunian hurriedly got off.
Seeing the white banners already hung at the gate of the mansion, she almost fainted and swayed unsteadily, but fortunately the Crown Prince helped her up.
"Thank you."
She pushed the Crown Prince aside and stumbled into the mansion.
Inside the mourning hall, the mother's memorial tablet was placed in the center, and the plain white curtains fluttered in the wind, creating a somber and sorrowful atmosphere.
Su Wunian rushed to the altar, tears streaming down her face, and sobbed uncontrollably.
When Su Taifu saw her, he didn't react much at first, but when he saw the Crown Prince coming in behind him, he quickly went to greet him.
"Grand Tutor, there's no need for such formalities. I'm here to accompany the concubine back. I also deeply regret her passing. I hope you will take good care of yourself."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Your presence is already a great honor for me."
"Please follow me to the front hall for tea. The mansion is rather chaotic right now, so it's best not to offend Your Highness."
The crown prince nodded, but still lit an incense stick before leaving with the Grand Tutor.
At this moment, Qingmo knelt respectfully before the altar with a group of illegitimate sons and daughters, but in her heart she couldn't help but curse.
Good heavens, she even has to wear mourning clothes for this woman, there's no other way.
As a professional and skilled butcher, she used to only handle killing and burying, but now she's also in charge of funerals.
I hope I won't let her play the suona next time!
Unlike Su Wunian, who cried with genuine emotion, the concubines and illegitimate children below were all wiping away tears insincerely.
They were overjoyed that their mistress had died.
Qingmo even saw that someone had secretly hidden onions in their sleeve.
She wouldn't say who it was.
Anyway, her aunt had applied garlic juice.
