Chapter 71 A Shocking Turn of Events in the Prison at Night!
Chapter 71 A Shocking Turn of Events in the Prison at Night!
So far, aside from Su Yunjin's main storyline.
Whether it's Shen Shuqing, the "Divine Doctor's Daughter," Jian Xiyan, the "Gentle and Refined Woman," or Mei Xingyue, the "Crown Princess Runs Away with a Baby," Zhou Wei didn't find any suspicious humans in their storylines.
Zhou Wei decided that she would pay more attention to the minor cannon fodder surrounding this group of lucky heroines in the future.
Let's see if we can find another Ning He!
As for the eldest princess...
Could she also be the original female lead?
The thought had barely crossed her mind when Zhou Wei suppressed it!
Our princess is definitely a villain; she doesn't need any redemption.
Anyone who stands firmly on the opposite side of the heroine with the best luck and stubbornly opposes her.
Regardless of whether they were right or wrong, they were immediately categorized as part of the villainous camp!
At this moment, Ning He and Jiang Yueli had had their fill of fun, and the two walked hand in hand to the edge of the training ground to rest.
Jiang Yueli seized the opportunity to remind Ning He.
"Sister Ning, no matter who the father of the child is, you still have to bear the pain of pregnancy, so be careful what you eat to avoid getting sick from what you eat."
Ning He took Jiang Yueli's words to heart.
She smiled and said, "Don't worry, my little courtyard is very secure, especially when it comes to food. I don't touch anything except the people I trust."
On this point, Zhou Wei believed in Ning He's abilities.
It was precisely because she was so cautious that Su Yunjin never found an opportunity to give her the fertility pill.
Ultimately, due to time constraints, Su Yunjin had no choice but to change the fertility pills to a type intended for men.
Using Lu Zhiyan's body, Ning He was tricked!
This is also why Zhou Wei suggested that Ning He find a different father for the child.
Ning He's strict precautions, coupled with the fact that she wasn't actually trying to conceive with Lu Zhiyan, all contributed to this.
This time, I should be able to escape the fate of being given a pill for having multiple children.
Perhaps something even more interesting will happen—
The male fertility pills that Lu Zhiyan took will remain in his body indefinitely if they do not transfer their effects to a woman.
Su Yunjin had no idea of Ning He's plans, or who this fertility pill would ultimately harm.
It depends on Su Yunjin's conscience!
If she doesn't harm anyone, then all will be well.
If she tries to harm Ning He, she will suffer the consequences.
At this moment, Zhou Wei also reminded Ning He: "Miss Ning, the matter of Su Yunjin is being spread like wildfire in the capital. It's not you who's worried, but Lu Zhiyan."
“He will never divorce you, after all, Lu Zhiyan still cares about the status of the Prime Minister’s mansion.”
"So no matter how much he pressures you, you refuse to give in."
"If you're pushed to the limit, just threaten to divorce him, and he'll definitely be afraid."
“A woman’s crying can also be a weapon, especially when she tries to gain sympathy on important occasions, it is very effective.”
Zhou Wei was reminding Ning He to resist Lu Zhiyan's advances and resolutely keep Su Yunjin as a concubine!
As long as Su Yunjin cannot enter the General's Mansion, her relationship with Lu Zhiyan will remain unrecognizable.
This was absolutely a fatal blow to Su Yunjin, who prided herself on equality and had an inflated sense of self-importance.
Based on Zhou Wei's understanding of Su Yunjin's way of handling things in the original story.
If Lu Zhiyan cannot get past Ning He, she will definitely go and beat the Dengwen Drum herself to request an audience with the Emperor.
We urge the Emperor of Great Zhou to personally adjudicate this case!
Zhou Wei was eagerly anticipating this day; she longed to see the Emperor of Great Zhou.
This bigamy case involves the family of a high-ranking official and is also a legal matter concerning the inner quarters of the household.
According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, female relatives of noble families with titles of marquis or above and who have received imperial edicts must be invited to attend.
Princess Jiang Yueli, who holds the title of "National Protector," is also included in this list!
At that time, Zhou Wei will be able to catch a glimpse of the true face of the Great Zhou Emperor.
…………
For several days in a row, the four members of the Mei family secretly observed Su Yunjin.
After nightfall, the group gathered together to exchange information.
Jiang Nianmei had been holding it in for several days, and finally she could speak her mind.
"Mother, that woman is a demon!"
Mei Xingyue was also very excited; she had never seen anything so amazing.
Su Yunjin can actually conjure objects out of thin air, is she an immortal?
Even those living in blessed lands don't possess this ability.
Just like when Mei Xing first met Yuan Xing, Yuan Xing was as destitute as a beggar on the street.
If Yuanxing hadn't revealed his identity, Mei Xingyue wouldn't have bothered to even glance at the monk!
The blessed lands and grotto-heavens are already the most mysterious existences in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Su Yunjin's methods far surpass those of the people in the blessed lands and grotto-heavens.
Mei Xingyue could only think of the word "immortal"!
The eldest son, Jiang Nianxing, calmly said, "Mother, she's not an immortal. How could an immortal be in such a sorry state?"
"She must have some treasure on her, perhaps an unseen pouch, or perhaps—"
“Or perhaps her reach extends to very distant places,” Jiang Nianmei added.
Mei Xingyue's heart stirred, and she thought of a folk tale she had heard before.
“I’ve heard before that there are techniques in Maoshan Taoism that allow you to command little ghosts to move things. She might know this kind of Taoist magic.”
Both children were completely confused after hearing this.
"Mother, where is Maoshan? Is it also a blessed land? And what is a little ghost?" Jiang Nianmei had never heard of Maoshan before.
Mei Xingyue paused for a moment, realizing she had said the wrong thing.
He then said, "It's just a made-up part. It's from a storybook my mother read before, and it seems to be somewhat similar to this woman's situation."
At this moment, Jiang Nianyue, who had been fast asleep, suddenly sat up, startling the three of them!
Seeing her youngest son staring straight ahead, Mei Xingyue couldn't help but wave her hand in front of his eyes.
"Xiao Yue, what's wrong?"
Jiang Nianyue did not reply, but remained staring blankly.
In the darkness, Jiang Nianyue's eyes shone brightly. Following his gaze, Mei Xingyue discovered that he was staring at Su Yunjin in the opposite cell.
"Why are you so easily startled, child?" Mei Xingyue murmured softly.
Jiang Nianmei also pouted and complained, "Mom, is my second brother sick? These past few nights when I was on night duty, he would suddenly sit up like this, almost scaring me to death."
Upon hearing this, both Jiang Nianxing and Mei Xingyue were taken aback.
When they were on night duty, Jiang Nianyue would also wake up in the middle of the night and sit up.
Mei Xingyue looked closely at her youngest son and saw a sharp and wise look in his eyes.
This made Mei Xingyue secretly delighted!
She cherished her youngest son very much.
Not only because Jiang Nianyue possessed superhuman strength, which was her greatest asset.
Furthermore, because the child was chosen by the divine monk Yuanxing even before he was born, he became the successor of the blessed land and his future was limitless!
Although Jiang Nianyue was born, the midwife said he was somewhat stupid.
As they grew a little older, they became quite rough, enjoying harming cats, dogs, chickens, and ducks, and breaking their necks.
But Mei Xingyue didn't think there was anything wrong with it!
The more resilient a child is, the easier they are to raise. As for the matter of intellectual disability—
Mei Xingyue has never admitted it.
The midwife who said this was pushed down the hillside and died the next day.
Her child is a genius, how could he be mentally challenged?
That midwife must have tried to extort money from her, so she cursed her and deserved to die.
Seeing that Jiang Nianyue's eyes had regained their clarity, Mei Xingyue was overjoyed.
That damned midwife was talking nonsense!
Mei Xingyue excitedly cupped Jiang Nianyue's face in her hands: "My son, I am your mother!"
Jiang Nianyue's gaze slowly turned to Mei Xingyue, but there was no trace of affection in his eyes.
"Get out of here."
The two simple words sent a shiver down Mei Xingyue's spine, and the hand that was holding Jiang Nianyue's cheek unconsciously dropped.
"Son, what's wrong? Don't you recognize your mother?"
Mei Xingyue was still trying to rekindle the bond between mother and son, but Jiang Nianyue pushed her away and stood up abruptly.
Then, amidst the astonished gazes of the mother and her two children, they walked to the prison cell door.
With just a gentle tug, the cell chains snapped.
slam-la-
The sound of chains hitting the ground woke Su Yunjin from her deep sleep.
She was half asleep and about to curse who was so rude as to disturb her sleep.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a face with wide-set eyes and thick lips right in front of me!
The other person smiled, but when they opened their mouth, only flesh-colored gums were visible, making them look extremely terrifying.
Su Yunjin's heart pounded wildly, but before she could even let out a scream, it was too late.
Jiang Nianyue covered her mouth with his large hand!
