"My daughter-in-law has almost lost her daughter, so what eyes do she need?" Meng sobbed: "Mother-in-law, you have to make the decision for your daughter-in-law. The child was born with hard work during the ten-month pregnancy. It is her lifeblood."
She couldn't give anything to her legitimate daughter-in-law. She thought so well. She wanted to snatch her daughter-in-law away after she had no children. She didn't want to think about how her daughter-in-law felt. But the prince still defended her and said she was pitiful. Then who would pity her daughter-in-law?
.”
Mrs. Chen looked solemnly and said: "Is there such a thing?"
Meng said with an aggrieved look: "Everything my daughter-in-law said is true, otherwise my daughter-in-law would not have come to see Eniang before her confinement was over. Eniang, if she really didn't have a child, her daughter-in-law wouldn't want to live anymore."
"That's ridiculous!" Mrs. Chen said with an ugly face: "She accidentally killed the prince's child. I no longer care about her, but she still has such a moth. Does she still care about me, my mother-in-law?
It’s true that Yunli actually followed her into mischief.”
Meng hated Fu Ying so much that she took the opportunity to provoke her: "She relies on the prince's love and has Concubine Xi as her god-sister. How can she put E Niang in her eyes?"
Mrs. Chen snorted coldly and said, "Okay, I know this well. The child is yours and no one can take it away. It's not her turn to make the decision in this palace."
Meng said quickly: "Thank you so much for your mother-in-law's willingness to make decisions for your daughter-in-law. Now in this house, she is the only one who is willing to take care of your daughter-in-law."
"Okay, E Niang knows what's going on, just go back and have a good rest." After sending Meng away, Chen stood up and said to the maid next to her: "Come on, help me to meet our direct descendant Fujin.
"
Regarding Chen's arrival, Fuying was not surprised at all. Meng's request for permission was fruitless, so she would definitely look for Chen. It would be really strange if Chen didn't come.
She leaned forward and said, "My daughter-in-law has met E Niang, and I wish her good luck."
Mrs. Chen didn't even look at her. She just held the maid's hand and sat down in the chair. Then she said casually: "I heard from Yun Xian that you want to take her daughter under your knees and raise her?"
"Yes." As soon as Fu Ying said a word, Chen slapped the armrest hard and said sternly: "Who gave you such power, and who allowed you to do this?"
Fuying hurriedly knelt down and said, "Eniang, please calm down. My daughter-in-law has discussed this matter with the prince, and he has agreed. My daughter-in-law will definitely treat the child well and never let her suffer any injustice."
Mrs. Chen said coldly: "Humph, I don't know how you talk so sweetly in front of Yunli. In short, I will never agree to this matter, and I will not mention it again in the future."
Facing Chen's toughness, Fu Ying felt bitter in her mouth. When she was about to say something else, Yun Li's voice came from outside, "Mother, in fact, there is nothing wrong with leaving the child to Fu Ying to raise."
Ms. Chen snorted coldly: "Yunxian was pregnant for ten months and finally gave birth to a daughter. She is about to be taken away from her before she is born. Why don't you tell me what's so good about her?"
Yunli signaled Suoli to push him in, and said, "If Fuying raises this child, she will be a legitimate daughter. Her son will invite the emperor to the meeting and make her the princess. Isn't this good?"
Mrs. Chen said without any pretense: "What about Yunxian? Have you ever thought about her? Losing her daughter for no reason is like carving out the flesh in her heart. Yunli, Eniang knows that you cherish Fuying, but a bowl of water
After all, it has to be balanced. If it goes too far, it will inevitably make people feel chilling."
Yunli was silent for a while and said: "Eniang, my son has already decided on this matter, and he doesn't think Meng is qualified to be Eniang."
Chen's eyelids twitched and he asked doubtfully: "What do you mean?"
Yunli glanced at Fuying who was still kneeling on the ground and said: "Fuying told her son that the reason why she went for a walk during that time was because of Meng's advice, and it was also Meng's advice to take that road.
, so my son suspects that Fu Ying’s fall is related to the Meng family.”
Chen's eyes swept over the two people's faces and said coldly: "Where is the evidence?"
"Son, there is no evidence." As soon as Yunli finished speaking, Chen sneered: "There is no evidence, which means everything is just Fu Ying's one-sided words? Can you believe this?"
Yunli lowered his head and said, "My son believes that Fuying will not lie, let alone cause trouble over nothing."
"But I don't believe it." Mrs. Chen pointed at Fu Ying with a stern look on her face and said, "In my opinion, it is clear that she deliberately put the blame on Yun Xian, so that she could take the opportunity to take away her daughter."
"No, my daughter-in-law did not lie. It was indeed Meng..." Before Fu Ying could finish her words, she was rudely interrupted by Mrs. Chen, "Okay, I don't want to hear so much from you. Anyway, this matter,
I won't allow it! Besides, you are still young and can have another baby in the future, so why do you have to steal someone else's daughter?"
Fu Ying couldn't express her sorrow, so she could only say: "My daughter-in-law is brave, please let me do it."
Yunli also said: "Mother, my son has already spoken out about this. I'm afraid it won't be good to take it back. Besides, my son believes that Fuying will definitely treat the child as his own."
Mrs. Chen said unceremoniously: "If you can't do it, you can't do it. As long as I am in the house, you will not be allowed to do this."
"Eniang..." Facing Chen's objection, Yunli felt helpless, "Can't we just let my son handle this matter by himself?"
Mrs. Chen stared at him and sneered: "What's wrong? Your wings have grown stiff and you don't even listen to E Niang anymore, right? Okay, then you can drive E Niang out of Prince Guo's Mansion now."
Yunli said quickly: "What are you talking about? How could your son do that?"
"Since you can't, then stop thinking about it." After that, she cast her eyes on Fu Ying and said sternly: "And you, you'd better be safe and stop instigating the prince, otherwise don't blame me for being rude to you.
After Chen left, Yunli pulled Fuying up and said softly: "I've made you feel wronged.
Fu Ying smiled softly and said: "I'm fine, Your Majesty, don't take it personally."
"My mother is so against it. Let's talk about the child later."
"I know, take your time, I'm not in a hurry." Fuying nodded, she could feel the helplessness in Yunli's heart. After all, Mrs. Chen was his mother, so he couldn't be too disobedient.
But that doesn't mean the matter should be let go. When Ling Ruo told her about the matter, she had mentioned that if Mrs. Chen objected, she would tell her that she would persuade Mr. Chen.
Two days later, a decree was sent from the palace to summon the Chen family to Chengqian Palace, and one day before that, Fu Ying had entered the palace. With Chen's mind, how could she not understand the connection.
After seeing the ceremony, Mrs. Chen did not sit down and said directly: "Your Majesty, I was asked to enter the palace, but is it because of the Meng family's child?"
Ling Ruo smiled slightly and said: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from the noble concubine. It is indeed because of this matter."
"If this is the case, there is nothing to say. Even if the empress persuades me, the same thing is true. The child was born to the Meng family. Even though Fu Ying is the direct descendant of Fujin, she has no right to take it away." After saying this, Mrs. Chen was about to roll her sleeves.
Before leaving, Ling Ruo's voice came from behind, "What if the emperor decrees that?"
