Chapter 526.1: puncture her arrogance

Ruo Yuan, you dont have to trouble yourself so much over other peoples matters. Lets return to the residence. Su Xi-er boarded the horse carriage with Ruo Yuan following behind.

Once they arrived back at the Prince Hao Residence, Su Xi-er instructed the guards to bring the ingredients that they had bought to the kitchen. Ruo Yuan would then bring the finished dishes to Zhen Yus room.

Once she was done with her instructions, Su Xi-er walked towards the side courtyard.

I havent visited Zhen Yu for the past few days, nor have I told her about her pregnancy. Though if she finds outhow would she react?

In the courtyard, Zhen Yu was standing under the sunlight, her eyes closed as she faced the sky. Upon hearing footsteps, she turned around and smiled as she greeted Su Xi-er. Princess Consort.

Su Xi-er quickly walked over to support her. You may dispense with the formalities. Even if the sunlight is out, the wind still makes it chilly; lets go inside first. She took Zhen Yus hand and pulled her indoors.

Princess Consort, Ill be returning to Peach Blossom Village in a few days. Zhen Yu slowly said with a placid expression.

Although I harbour some regrets regarding Brother Hu, I have also learned to let things go. The current me can no longer match up to Brother Hu.

Youre going back so soon? Im afraid that I cant allow that; youll be staying in the Prince Hao Residence for now. Su Xi-er flatly refused with a solemn expression.

Now that Tan Ge is back, shell easily find out that the reason Xie Yun relinquished his power is Zhen Yu. Whats to stop her from using Zhen Yu to threaten him after that?

Furthermore, Zhen Yu is pregnant. Even if she may not like the child, there is a life growing inside her. It is ultimately fate that the child came to be. Aborting it would mean ending an unborn life.

Princess Consort, my coming to the capital was a mistake. Peach Blossom Village is my hometown; the place is very warm, and the villagers are very nice. Zhen Yu spoke in an indifferent tone, not allowing one to discern her sorrow.

Su Xi-er looked towards her and suddenly asked, If you go to Peach Blossom Village and find out that youre pregnant, would the villagers still treat you well?

Pregnancy out of wedlock is considered a serious taboo in remote villages. You can choose to not marry for life, but you cant get pregnant before you get married; youll be drowned by the spittle of the villagers.

A stunned look finally made its way onto Zhen Yus face, breaking through her stoic facade.

Ive been constantly vomiting over the past few days; could it be that I am really pregnant? The physician who came to check on me only mentioned nouris.h.i.+ng my body, he never said anything about pregnancy.

Am I reallypregnant with Commandery Prince Xies child? How can that behow can that be?!

Zhen Yu, dont be agitated. It was just a casual remark. Dont take it to heart. Su Xi-er immediately held her hand and tried to comfort her.

The anxiety slowly receded from Zhen Yus eyes, her mouth opening after a long pause. Why does Heaven have to treat me like this? Why must I be pregnant with his child? I dont want, I dont want She struggled free from Su Xi-ers hand and hit her abdomen.

Su Xi-er immediately stopped her. It was an ironic situation where the pregnant person was anxious, while the person who couldnt get pregnant was worried.

Princess Consort, that wasnt a casual remark. Ive been vomiting so much that even I began to suspect something, but I continued to believe in my own lies, allowing the silence of others to comfort me. What should I do? I dont want the child! Zhen Yu buried her face in Su Xi-ers shoulder and loudly bawled.

Zhen Yu, you are not planning to look for Brother Hu, and even if you do find him, youre not going to get together with him. If youre not planning to forgive Xie Yun, you can live together with your child in the Prince Hao Residence. Thats not a bad option.

Su Xi-er didnt mention that they had already found Brother Hu.

Telling Zhen Yu would be no different than stabbing her in an open wound.

Suddenly, Hong Li hastily ran over. Princess Consort, the Commandery Princess has brought Commandery Prince Xie over.
