The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

Chapter 145 Wan Linlang’s plan?

Seeing this, Concubine Lu couldn't help but become more serious: "Sister Xie, are you suspicious that Concubine Wan is going to cause trouble?"

Xie Run smiled calmly and said, "It's not suspicion, it's certainty! But it may not necessarily be Wan Linlang!"

Of course, Wan Linlang is definitely not free from responsibility!

Xie Run reminded: "You and I have forgotten one thing."

"Since entering the mansion, the prince has never stayed overnight at Concubine Lian's place. If she is pregnant, it must have been outside."

What is the identity of Concubine Lian?

The top girl in the brothel!

When King Jing brought her back, the princess was always unhappy.

Now that Concubine Lian is pregnant, who can prove whether it is King Jing's child?

Concubine Lu nodded: "I also guessed that Concubine Lian was afraid to tell the princess because of this matter. I guess she wanted to wait until the prince returned."

Xie Run shook his head: "How stupid!"

She was already 70% sure that Concubine Lian would not be able to give birth to this baby.

Even if she gave birth to the baby, she would not be able to raise it!

She hid her pregnancy from others and told Wan Linlang instead.

There is also Concubine Jiang above her who is trying hard to torment her... Concubine Lian has successfully gathered all the dangers.

If this baby could be born safely, Xie Run would be so impressed.

So what if I tell the princess?

Would the princess insist that Concubine Lian was not pregnant with Prince Jing's child and ask her to have an abortion?!

Not to mention that the princess is not of that kind of personality, even if the child's origin is really questionable, we have to wait until King Jing returns before making a decision.

At least during this period of time, the princess will protect Concubine Lian.

Now that she is hiding it, she is simply giving others the opportunity to take action!

Isn’t that too stupid?!

Xie Run thought about it, if Wan Linlang took action, who would he target first?

Is it her or Fang Yuaner?

It can’t be Jiang Baobao, right?

After Concubine Lu left, Xie Run asked someone to pass the message to Fang Yuaner.

Given Fang Yuaner's understanding of Wan Linlang, she would definitely be wary and perhaps be able to find out something.

Isn’t there a saying that the person who knows you best is your enemy!

Xie Run was also worried, so he sent a maid to inquire about the news from Concubine Fang, Concubine Lian and Concubine Wan.

On the fifth day of Prince Su's rebellion, many things were discovered in the palace.

It turns out that Princess Su not only extended her hands to Prince Jing's backyard, but also to several other princes... none of them were spared.

I wonder how many wronged souls are hidden in the backyards of the royal palaces.

In comparison, Xie Run is actually very lucky.

Or perhaps she also has some abilities.

Because these crimes were too numerous and also involved matters concerning military power, Princess Su hanged herself on the day of the incident.

However, Princess Su committed suicide just to make her death more dignified.

Her mother's family was ransacked, all male members taller than the wheel were beheaded, and all female members were sent to the palace to do hard labor.

Xie Run sighed at the time and said that it was fortunate that there was no Jiaofangsi in this era.

Entering the Palace is definitely better than entering the Jiaofangsi.

Dan Tao brought up the newly acquired fruit and said to Xie Run, "Master, I heard that because Prince An was instrumental in saving the emperor, His Majesty promoted Prince An's mother, Jing Baolin, to Consort Jing, and she is now quite favored."

"I wonder if the prince knows what's happening in the capital while he's away?"

Xie Run picked up a piece of fruit with a fork and tasted it. It was sour and sweet, just the taste she liked.

She smiled and said, "Don't worry, the prince knows everything."

"What's happening outside is not something you and I can interfere with."

Dan Tao: "The prince has been away from the capital for over a month, and he hasn't sent a single letter... The mansion seems peaceful now, but I still feel uneasy."

Xie Run raised his eyes, his gaze shifting, "Have you found out any news from the concubines?"

Dan Tao shook her head. "Concubine Fang has always lived in seclusion and rarely goes out. She employs the elderly people around Concubine Yun, so she is very tight-lipped."

"Concubine Lian was able to find out, but there wasn't any useful information. It was exactly the same as what Concubine Lu said that day. I'm afraid she herself didn't even realize it."

Xie Run took a bite of the fruit and asked, "What about Wan Linlang?"

Dan Tao thought for a moment and said, "I only know that Concubine Wan has been visiting Concubine Lian more and more frequently recently. If you didn't know, you would think that these two have a very good relationship."

"According to the information revealed by the maids and servants, Concubine Wan seems to be protecting Concubine Lian's pregnancy."

Xie Run was stunned. "Wan Linlang is helping Concubine Lian to keep her baby?"

Did she hear some outrageous joke?

In her previous life, Wan Linlang, who was ranked as a virtuous concubine, could barely earn the title of abortion captain.

Countless innocent souls died at her hands.

In this life, she actually helped Concubine Lian to keep her baby?

Xie Run felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't find any clues.

As expected, he is Fang Yuaner's rival and is indeed difficult to deal with.

"Continue to investigate. If nothing works..." Xie Run thought for a moment, "If nothing works, I'll be a good person and report to the princess on behalf of Concubine Lian."

Dan Tao disagreed: "If Concubine Lian doesn't want to say it herself, there must be a reason for not wanting to say it. You go and tell the princess, what if she does something to her and she resents you?"

Xie Run: "I'm not afraid of her resentment, I'm just afraid that Wan Linlang is holding back and will cause us a big mess later."

But after thinking about it, Xie Run gave up the idea.

The main reason is that she never likes to meddle in other people's affairs.

Now I just mention it casually.

If she really had to step forward as a kind-hearted person, she would be a bit lazy.

Xie Run: "I just hope Fang Yuaner can do better and not get dragged down by others."

With Fang Yuaner around, Xie Run and she shared the same amount of love and hatred.

If Fang Yuaner wasn't there, Xie Run would be the only one standing out... She might not be able to handle the spotlight because of how popular she is.

"My master is now out of confinement and will be paying her respects to the princess in a few days. Why not use that time to test the princess's and the concubines' opinions?"

"That's a good idea."

It happened that the nanny brought Taotao, who had just finished feeding, over.

Xie Run took it and teased him twice.

Looking at the fruit next to him, Xie Run became playful and handed a small piece of fruit to him to lick.

Taotao subconsciously stuck out his tongue and licked the fruit. He was silent for a moment, his little face wrinkled like an old man.

Three seconds later, a shocking cry suddenly broke out.

Xie Run was almost deafened by the crying.

I thought my son's voice was a little too loud.

Dan Tao and the nanny were both panicked and hurried to help coax the child.

It took a long time to coax him to sleep, his little face full of tears.

Dan Tao couldn't help but complain: "Master is already such a grown-up, and he's still teasing the little master. He's really going backwards!"

"The young master has never cried twice since he was born, and both times he cried because of you."

Seeing Taotao crying at the top of her lungs, Dantao felt more distressed than her own mother Xie Run.

Dan Tao felt that her master was also naughty and always liked to do strange things to amuse the little master.

I feel helpless about this mother and son.

Xie Run honestly admitted his mistake and laughed uncontrollably, "I didn't expect that he was afraid of acid."

Dan Tao glanced at her master with a plaintive look: "...Master, you seem quite happy?"

"Really?" Xie Run said cheerfully, "Children should play while they are young, otherwise when they grow up, where will they have anything to play with? I'm afraid it will be a headache for them."
