The pregnant woman pressed down on the wife, and the cousin collapsed into the prince's arms.

But things had come to this point, and just as she had always thought, having spent so much effort on Rouge, there was no way she could give up.

Why not ask your mother-in-law? Given how much she cares about having children, she certainly won't tolerate her husband having no offspring.

But what if the mother-in-law also sides with the husband and agrees to abandon the rouge and take another concubine?

Su Wanrou pondered all night and finally came up with a solution.

Jingxinji Temple, located on Mount Gyokusen in Kyoto, is a renowned temple that attracts a constant stream of worshippers.

Su Wanrou chose a day and took Yanzhi to Jingxin Temple to pray for blessings. When they returned, she rushed to Fuxi Hall to report the good news, saying that Master Jingkong had analyzed Yanzhi's fate and said that her birth chart was extremely auspicious, indicating that she was destined to have many children and much happiness.

"Mother, you don't know, Master Jingkong looked at this girl's face and said she was destined to have a son!" Su Wanrou's tone was filled with joy. "Actually, when I first brought her in, I had a doctor examine her and he said she had abundant qi and blood, a solid foundation, and was likely to conceive easily. Doesn't that match Master Jingkong's prediction?"

Yan Zhi listened to Su Wanrou's witty remarks from the side, but she showed no joy at all. Subconsciously, she was terrified of the idea of ​​getting pregnant.

But now, in Fuxi Hall, in front of Madam Wang, she dared not do anything. She just lowered her head, dared not speak, and her fingertips, hidden under her sleeves, twisted the hem of her clothes helplessly.

Hearing Su Wanrou's words, Wang Shi perked up. She had heard of Master Jingkong's Dharma name and that his fortune-telling was very accurate. Now, hearing that Yan Zhi had such a favorable destiny, she immediately began to look at her in a different light.

His gaze swept over Rouge before turning to Su Wanrou, and he asked, "Really?"

A fleeting hint of panic crossed Su Wanrou's eyes, but it was quickly masked by a smile: "Of course it's true, how could your daughter-in-law joke about something like this?"

Seeing her like this, Madam Wang was relieved and a smile appeared on her face. She said, "This is a good thing. It's good that you've gone to the trouble of finding a concubine for Chengyuan."

Su Wanrou hadn't received praise from her mother-in-law in a long time, and she felt a sense of relief and joy. However, a bitter feeling quickly welled up inside her, which she concealed, and she went along with what Wang Shi said: "This is what a daughter-in-law should do, it's not worth your praise."

As she spoke, she looked troubled again: "But..." After hesitating for a moment, two lines of tears rolled down her cheeks: "Yan Zhi is a good-for-nothing. She angered the master at first and has not yet consummated the marriage with him. A couple of days ago, I advised the master to go to Yan Zhi's room, which angered him so much that he scolded his daughter-in-law."

"Is that so?" Madam Wang was unaware that Pei Jingnian was so opposed to rouge. Didn't he say that rouge was very good at Fuxi Hall before?

Wang was also having a headache dealing with her fickle son.

After all, no matter how good Rouge's fate is, it's useless if Pei Jingnian doesn't go to her room.

When Yan Zhi heard Su Wanrou say that she was "useless", she knelt down on the ground and said, "Please forgive me, Madam."

Wang Shi glanced at Yan Zhi a few times. Although she was a maid, her appearance was indeed outstanding, and her figure looked healthy. Now, she had been blessed with many children and good fortune by a master. If Cheng Yuan was willing, wouldn't she be able to hold her grandson soon?

"I will speak to Chengyuan. Having offspring is a major issue, and he should take it seriously."

After Wang finished speaking, Su Wanrou finally felt relieved and said sincerely, "Thank you for your understanding, Mother."

When Su Wanrou came out of Fuxi Hall, the sun had already set. After a busy day, plus dealing with her mother-in-law in Fuxi Hall, she was indescribably tired.

Upon arriving at Jinlan Courtyard, she was helped by her maids to remove her hairpins and change her clothes. She then lazily leaned against the chaise lounge, holding the longan and astragalus tea that Zhou Mama had just served her.

Before even taking a sip, she saw Rouge standing to the side, like a wooden statue. Remembering how this was the very thing that had angered the young master, she was instantly furious. She slammed her teacup down: "I've put so much effort into you! And who are you trying to impress with this act?! The young master doesn't like timid people. Are you deliberately trying to make him unhappy?!"

Rouge trembled with fear and knelt down on the ground with a thud: "Rouge knows she was wrong. Please punish me, Madam."

Su Wanrou's face darkened. She really didn't know if Yanzhi was truly stubborn or deliberately going against her.

But she thought that Rouge was just a little maid, and she figured she wouldn't have the guts.

"Remember this: I brought you into the Pei family to produce heirs for my family, and I gave you money to treat your mother's illness because you have value. If you can't conceive, don't blame me for being ruthless. People without value should disappear completely."

Exhausted, Su Wanrou spoke in a light, airy voice, but Rouge felt a chill run down her spine.

Su Wanrou was no kind person. She only thought that she was pregnant and might be forced to give up her child, but she never imagined that Su Wanrou could kill her as easily as crushing an ant.

As she said, she had been running away all along, had lost her value, and could not escape death...

As for her own mother… Rouge bit her lip and said, “I understand.”
