The Valued Lady is Truly Dominant

Chapter 527: Chapter 527: Consort Shu Grants a Maid

Chang Chun Palace.

Consort Fan lay on the beauty couch, wearing a headband, her slender, fair hands gently touching her chest, looking displeased.

”Lady, the Prince has arrived.”

Consort Fan did not open her eyes, only resting one hand on her temple until the footsteps approached nearer, then she half-opened her eyes to look at the newcomer.

”Your son pays respects to Mother Consort.”

Prince Zhou knelt on one knee on the ground and saluted with cupped hands.

Consort Fan weakly said, ”Rise.”

Prince Zhou stood up, looking at her pale complexion, and said, ”What has happened to Mother Consort? Is your heartache acting up again?”

Consort Fan’s eyes fully opened, and she slightly sat up, saying coldly, ”What’s happened to me, don’t you have a clue? Going to a banquet for no good reason and losing the child?”

Prince Zhou tasted bitterness in his mouth, saying, ”It’s all because your son is useless, tricked by others.”

”Nonsense!”

Consort Fan scoffed disdainfully, saying, ”Tricked? I doubt it. There are probably more than one person involved in this matter. Do you have any suspects in mind?”

Prince Zhou said, ”Those who don’t want me to have children are none other than my dear brothers.”

The eldest claims he didn’t do it, but he doesn’t believe it. Since he can’t have children, everyone is still at the starting line, no one can overtake, huh.

Consort Fan, looking exasperated, said, ”Have you not considered that the women around you might be causing trouble?”

Prince Zhou was taken aback.

”Your Princess, perhaps her mind has gone astray.” Consort Fan sneered.

Who understands women better than women themselves?

Consort Fan, being a woman herself, naturally knew how terrifying jealousy can be. Li, as the Official Wife, hadn’t conceived yet, so having ulterior motives wasn’t surprising.

Prince Zhou hesitated, saying, ”Mother Consort, Li has always prided herself on following rules. Since Bai became pregnant, she has also been taking care according to the rules, logically she should...”

Upon hearing this, Consort Fan couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

Foolish son, don’t you know that the dog that doesn’t bark is the one that doesn’t bite?

”You underestimate women. She is the Official Wife; while she hasn’t had her own child yet, would she wholeheartedly welcome the birth of a concubine’s child? Look at Consort Xiao, didn’t she cause today’s disaster by ending that maid’s child?”

Prince Zhou was suddenly shocked, frowning, thinking of Li’s stern and bland face, was it her?

”Mother Consort, the situation was chaotic at the time, and there is no evidence...”

”Without evidence, it’s easier to escape suspicion, even if it wasn’t her, as the Official Wife, she failed to protect properly.” Consort Fan was actually dissatisfied with this daughter-in-law; not sweet-tongued, never saying nice things to please her, always rigidly following the rules.

Consort Fan looked at Prince Zhou, annoyed again, ”Even if the Princess has her own thoughts, why do you also indulge that Bai? Once pregnant, she should honestly stay in her own courtyard, yet she was running around like a wild duck. Now, look, that running lost the child, it’s beyond tears now.”

Prince Zhou listened to the lecture earnestly.

After venting for a while, Consort Fan said, ”Fine, it’s just that the child had no luck. Now, besides Consort Xiao having a daughter, the other Prince Mansions have no progress. Zheng’er, you must hurry up.”

Prince Zhou thought, doesn’t he want to hurry?

”Fei’er.” Consort Fan suddenly spoke.

A beautiful palace maid stepped forward gracefully, standing not far in front of Prince Zhou.

Consort Fan said, ”Bai needs to rest post-miscarriage, and it’s not suitable for her to care for you. From today, let Fei’er return to the mansion with you to take care of your daily needs. Don’t neglect the Princess; legitimate heirs are more important than anything.”

Prince Zhou looked at the palace maid, raising an eyebrow. Fei’er blushed, slightly lowering her head.
