The scumbag was secretly having an affair, while I was openly having an affair with the prince.

Chapter 17 Miscarriage During Intercourse

With a loud bang, the door was slammed shut.

"Mother?" You Qingrou got out of bed in a panic.

Wen rushed towards her, hugging her tightly, pointing towards the door with her hand, trembling as she said, "Ye... Ye Shishu... she... she became a ghost..."

Because Wen was blocking the door, You Qingrou didn't see the ghost's appearance, but she heard the word "aunt." Hearing Wen's words, she couldn't help but tremble, "Mother... what... what should we do..."

"Aunt... I miss you so much..."

"Cousin...do you like my things...when are you going to return them to me..."

Hearing the low, eerie sounds outside the door, the mother and daughter screamed incessantly.

However, the female ghost completely disregarded their level of fright and continued, "Cousin... if you don't return it to me... I'll go to the Marquis's mansion to get it..."

Upon hearing this, You Qingrou replied with a sob in her voice, "I'll give it back! I'll give it all back to you tomorrow!"

The female ghost's voice came again, "Then I'll go back to the General's Mansion tomorrow and wait... Aunt... Cousin... You should rest... I'll go now..."

Wen and You Qingrou trembled so much they could barely stand and squatted on the ground, huddled together.

After a long while, when they heard no more ghostly sounds, the mother and daughter helped each other to their feet and then went to open the door, trembling with fear.

Once she was sure there were no more white figures outside the door, Madam Wen grabbed her daughter's hand and rushed out of the room, running quickly towards the front door.

In the study.

Wenmo, clutching his stomach and suppressing a laugh, reported the situation, "Your Highness, that mother and daughter were scared away! You didn't even see them running away... Pfft! That's hilarious!"

Just then, Ye Shishu came in from outside the door.

Looking at her eerily white ghost-like makeup, Yu Chi Ling's eye twitched violently.

Wenmo turned around and couldn't help but shudder as he smiled, but he still couldn't help but give Ye Shishu a thumbs up, "Third Miss, your move was brilliant!"

Ye Shishu couldn't help but smile.

She smiled even though she wasn't smiling. Her bright red lips and pale face looked eerie and creepy, making Yu Chi Ling and Wen Mo, the master and servant, feel goosebumps.

"Third Miss, you should go back to your room and wash up," Wenmo couldn't help but remind her.

"Do I look scary?" Ye Shishu raised her hand to touch her face, and couldn't help but laugh when she saw the white ash on her palm. "I was in a hurry when I put on my makeup, and I accidentally put on too much."

"You knew you'd applied too much, yet you still came over?" Yu Chi Ling glared at her, annoyed.

"Your Highness, please calm down. My daughter just came to report to you. She didn't mean to scare you," Ye Shishu quickly curtsied and explained.

"Yes."

Now let's talk about the Wei family.

Wei Yonghuai did not return home until dark.

Ge had been waiting for him, and when she heard that he had returned, she immediately called him over.

"Huai'er, have you heard those rumors outside?"

“Mother, your son has heard it,” Wei Yonghuai said coldly. “Today, the Crown Prince even reminded me of this, telling me to be careful about my reputation.”

Madam Ge said anxiously, "That's right! You're about to take the imperial examination, you absolutely can't let these foul words ruin your reputation! Why do you still have to work for the Crown Prince, you can't afford to give people something to talk about!"

Wei Yonghuai approached her and whispered in her ear.

After hearing this, Madam Ge frowned and remained silent for a long time.

Wei Yonghuai said, "Mother, I know you are reluctant to part with this child, but compared to the child, my future is the most important! Besides, this was an idea given to me by the Crown Prince, and I think it's brilliant!"

Upon hearing that it was the Crown Prince's idea, Madam Ge's reluctance vanished instantly. However, she was quite surprised and puzzled. "The Crown Prince wants you to abort Luo Lixian's child and then send her to the Eastern Palace to be his woman. This way, the rumors about you and Luo Lixian will disappear. This method is good, but for the Crown Prince to take in Luo Lixian, a withered flower, to the Eastern Palace for you seems like a huge sacrifice. Could there be something fishy going on?"

Wei Yonghuai laughed and said, "Mother, the Crown Prince is a man, and Xian'er is beautiful. What's wrong with him falling in love with Xian'er at first sight?"

Madam Ge frowned and asked him seriously, "And what about you? Are you really willing to give her away to someone else?"

Wei Yonghuai's smile vanished, replaced by a ruthless glint in his eyes. "No poison, no man! Now that Ye Shishu is gone, I've finally caught the Crown Prince's eye, and I can't let this god-given opportunity slip away! My father has been isolated and helpless in court all these years because our Wei family has no foundation. The Crown Prince has personally promised me that as long as Luo Lixian enters the Eastern Palace, he will not only ensure my father's promotion but also guarantee my success in the imperial examinations! What is a woman compared to the future glory of my Wei family?"

Ms. Ge exhaled.

She was furious when her son brought Luo Lixian back earlier. After all, her son had been engaged to Ye Shishu since he was a child. He hadn't even welcomed his wife into the family yet, but he brought a woman from outside with him. If the Ye family father and sons found out, they would skin her son alive.

In order to keep the secret from the Ye family, she had no choice but to recognize Luo Lixian as her goddaughter. Then, she arranged for Luo Lixian to marry someone in a fake marriage. After sending Luo Lixian to another place for two months, she announced that her husband had died and then brought her back to the Wei family.

All this effort was to deceive everyone and ensure that Ye Shishu's family would never suspect the relationship between Luo Lixian and his son.

Now that her son has regained his senses and even knows how to use women to curry favor, she is truly gratified...

Side courtyard.

Luo Lixian was sleeping soundly when she suddenly felt a weight on her side, and she couldn't help but open her eyes.

Before she could see who it was, a figure loomed over her.

Smelling the familiar scent, she couldn't help but chide, "I haven't seen you for days, I thought you'd abandoned us, mother and child!"

"I was summoned by the Crown Prince, and I really couldn't spare the time to be with you." Wei Yonghuai kissed her lips, laughing as he touched her belly. "I'm doing this for you and the baby, my dear Xian'er. You can't hold a grudge against me just because I've neglected you these past few days."

"Hehe!" Luo Lixian laughed happily.

"Xian'er, I've missed you so much these past few days. Have you missed me too, hmm?" Wei Yonghuai's hand began to move elsewhere.

"What do you think?" Luo Lixian sensed his familiar desire and couldn't help but raise her hand to press against his chest, reminding him coquettishly, "Brother Huai, not now..."

Wei Yonghuai pulled her hand down, his breath warming her ear as he gently coaxed, "Good Xian'er, I'll just 'take it easy,' I won't do anything reckless. I've been holding back for a whole month, you don't want me to go crazy from holding it in, do you?"

Luo Lixian wanted to say something, but her lips sealed her lips the next moment.

The lingering, passionate kiss instantly made her give up her resistance. Thinking of how much he valued the child in her womb, she felt even more at ease and reciprocated his advances...

The word "lust" sounds simple, but how many people can be rational in the moment of passion?

The long-awaited intimacy made Wei Yonghuai more passionate than ever before.

As the clouds dispersed and the rain stopped, Luo Lixian suddenly felt a sharp pain in her abdomen and couldn't help but groan, "Brother Huai... my stomach hurts..."

Wei Yonghuai hurriedly got out of bed to light the candles.

After the light came on in the room, Wei Yonghuai returned to the bedside, stared intently at Luo Lixian's body, and his face changed drastically. He cried out, "So much blood! Xian'er, you've lost so much blood!"

The next day.

Ye Gengxin secretly sent someone to deliver a letter to the daughter of Prince Cheng's mansion.

The letter stated that You Qingrou had many jewelry items delivered to the General's Mansion early in the morning, and even confessed that she usually took those items from Ye Shishu.

After reading the letter, Ye Shishu couldn't help but sneer.

Fortunately, You Qingrou was sensible; otherwise, on her "night of return from the dead," she would definitely have personally "floated" to the Yu Feng Marquis's residence to greet his family...

Just then, Wenmo came to invite her to the study.

She quickly put the letter away and then went to see Prince Seong.

"Luo Lixian miscarried." Yu Chiling said directly and concisely.

"Huh?" Ye Shishu was slightly taken aback.

Seeing that she seemed not to understand, Wen Yan quickly explained, "Third Miss, the people the Prince sent to keep watch at the Wei residence have reported back that Luo Lixian miscarried last night, and it happened while she was having sex with Wei Yonghuai."

Ye Shishu was astonished.

It's no wonder she reacted so strongly. In her previous life, Luo Lixian gave birth to her child safely, and the little boy was even adopted by her when he was one year old.

"What, you don't believe me?" Yu Chi Ling raised an eyebrow.

“No.” Ye Shishu shook her head. “Your Highness, based on my understanding of them, the Wei family and Wei Yonghuai should care a lot about the child in Luo Lixian’s womb. It’s just because of the sexual intercourse that the child was lost…”

She wanted to say it was absurd, but suddenly realized the topic was too explicit, and she was too embarrassed to continue.

Yu Chi Ling's gaze flickered as he looked at her face, and then he suddenly said, "Wei Yonghuai has been getting very close to the Crown Prince recently. The Crown Prince even gave Wei Yonghuai two beauties, and Wei Yonghuai is keeping them outside."

"Really?" Ye Shishu blurted out.
