Chapter 534 - 277 Bear Child’s Confession_2
"Those three have no shame, and your maternal grandfather is muddled too," Qian Yixiu also cursed. Lady Jin’s little girl is even younger than Zhu Sujin, what an outrageous thing to do. Perhaps, Lady Jin and her daughters’ real intention is to anger Princess Ning to death sooner."
Qian Yixiu had a very good impression of Princess Ning. She hoped that Princess Ning could live a long and healthy life. That way, Zhu Sujin’s life would also be much better.
She thought of the Red Demon Fruit. But that fruit was too defying of heaven, and she dared not say she had that treasure, knowing full well the principle of bearing a valuable jade invites trouble. It wasn’t that she didn’t trust Zhu Sujin, it was that she didn’t trust the people around him. Although Prince Ning appeared virtuous and humble now, he would ultimately become a king. Many people seemed to be good to everyone before becoming the Emperor, but once they were ruling over all, their mindset could change. She didn’t know if Prince Ning would change, but she certainly wasn’t going to take that risk.
Moreover, that fruit must be consumed right before someone’s death to be effective; if someone wasn’t "about to die," eating it would hasten their death instead. In other words, eating that fruit required the most appropriate timing, otherwise, it could kill.
She was afraid that out of goodwill she might make a mistake, and by choosing the wrong timing accidentally harm Princess Ning, would she not have committed the grave crime of plotting against a member of the Royal Family?
Because of these two reasons, Qian Yixiu hadn’t dared to give the Red Demon Fruit to Zhu Sujin.
She then heard Zhu Sujin continue, "Ever since my father left for the inspection tour in Henan, they have become increasingly frequent visitors. Although the servants have not allowed them to see my mother, it’s still annoying. Today, Lady Jin even sent me a set of clothes, but I awarded it directly to Xiao Lei in front of them, which infuriated Lady Jin to the point her face turned green." Xiao Lei was still serving in the Prince Residence. When Zhu Sujin entered the palace, he was served by eunuchs; at the residence, it was Xiao Lei who served him.
Zhu Sujin felt a bit better after venting his frustration. He looked at Qian Yixiu and noticed her nose was a bit red. Zhu Sujin knew that his sister must have cried just recently. He quickly pulled her close and asked, "Sis, who has bullied you? Tell your brother, and I’ll take care of them for you."
Just talking about it made her angry. Aside from Grandfather Sangui and Zhu Sujin, Qian Yixiu really had no one else to talk to about this matter. Seeing Zhu Sujin asking, she blurted out, "It’s Liang Jinzhao’s mother; she refuses to let me marry her son and trash-talks me everywhere, saying I’m not good enough for her boy. It’s infuriating. What’s so great about her son? I don’t even care for him."
Zhu Sujin, on hearing this, was just about to burst out in anger and curse, when suddenly he thought of something and laughed heartily.
