Chapter 228 Sisters Fight
After listening to Zhong Xueying's narration, Minister Zhong couldn't help but feel deeply disappointed with his daughter.
He took great pains to send Zhong Xueying to the Prince's Mansion so that she could replace his useless eldest daughter Zhong Xuejiao.
She worked hard to gain the favor of the prince, gave birth to a eldest son, and contributed to the consolidation of the Zhong family's status.
But now, unexpectedly, Zhong Xueying not only failed to give birth to a son or daughter, but was also troubled by an orphan girl from the countryside.
"Does Luo Qingqing have three heads and six arms? You can even trample dozens of concubines in the prince's mansion, so why can't you defeat Luo Qingqing?"
Zhong Xuejiao cried even harder. When she thought of the contrast between her past glory and her current miserable state, she felt a deep hatred towards Luo Qingqing.
But Luo Qingqing is now so favored by the prince that she can never find an opportunity to harm anyone.
"Father, you don't know that although Luo Qingqing has no one to support her, the prince seems to like her very much and is almost obsessed with her."
"There must be a reason for this. The prince is not a foolish man. He would never indulge a commoner girl to this extent for no reason."
"Father, you guessed right. I also found it strange, so I checked carefully and found out that Luo Qingqing looks very similar to the missing Princess Huai, Song Qingwan. Moreover, Luo Qingqingjing knows medical skills just like Song Qingwan."
"Is there such a thing?"
Minister Zhong's expression also began to grow serious. When the Emperor had arranged the marriage, he had intended to marry Song Qingwan to Zhao Yujun as his princess.
However, Zhao Yujun personally refused and only married Zhong Xuejiao later.
He had never thought of Song Qingwan and the prince together. Could it be that the prince's beloved was Song Qingwan? This was unbelievable!
"Father, this is absolutely true. I am willing to vouch for it with my name. At first, I didn't believe it. If it was only Luo Qingqing who looked like Song Qingwan, it would be fine. But most of the concubines in the backyard look somewhat similar to Song Qingwan. Do you think this is just a coincidence, father?"
Zhong Xueying looked very confident. No matter how arrogant she was, she had brains.
Ever since Luo Qingqing entered the mansion, Zhong Xueying had sensed something was wrong, and she ended up finding out something like this.
After pondering for a moment, Minister Zhong made up his mind and agreed to help Zhong Xueying get rid of Luo Qingqing, and began to send people to investigate Song Qingwan's whereabouts.
Speaking of which, Song Qingwan has been missing for several months, but it is estimated that she is not alive or dead.
Minister Zhong was more inclined to believe that Song Qingwan was still alive, because if a pregnant woman about to give birth was really in danger, she would not be able to run far and would be nearby.
However, among all the death cases reported in the capital in recent days, there was not a single pregnant woman, so Minister Zhong became more certain of his guess.
Song Qingwan, she must still be alive!
Since the prince is still obsessed with Song Qingwan, as long as she is alive, there is no guarantee that she will not suddenly surrender to the prince one day.
After all, King Huai has passed away. As a new comer, young and beautiful, how many years can Song Qingwan keep him?
When the prince ascends the throne, Song Qingwan might take the initiative to come to the new emperor and ask him to take her in. If the prince is so happy, it is not impossible for him to make her the queen.
What will happen to the daughter of the Zhong family by then? When will the Zhong family have a grandson with royal blood?
"Go back first, don't alert the enemy, your father will find a way to send someone to kidnap Luo Qingqing."
"Father, you must not do that. Luo Qingqing is now protected by guards arranged by the prince. If you are not absolutely sure, you might be killed."
"Then what should we do, Ying'er?"
"Father is looking for someone secretly, so just kill him directly."
"Ying'er, are you so angry that you're confused? How can our Zhong family openly kill people in the prince's mansion, and kill the prince's favorite concubine? If we accidentally leave any clues, then the connection between the Zhong family and the prince will end."
Zhong Xueying couldn't stand it anymore. She came back to ask for help, not to listen to her father's lecture.
In the final analysis, they just don't want to help. Otherwise, with the ability of the Zhong family, wouldn't it be easy to kill Luo Qingqing who doesn't know martial arts?
Zhong Xueying stood up from the chair with a bang, wiped the wet inner corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and when she looked up again, she had regained her composure.
"Since father doesn't want to help, then just pretend that your daughter has never come back."
After saying that, Zhong Xueying turned around and was about to walk out. At this moment, Zhong Xuemei happened to come to Shangshu Zhong to discuss Song Changwei's promotion.
Zhong Xuemei saw Zhong Xueying running out of the study angrily and wanted to go up to her and say hello, but she held back.
Zhong Xueying has had a bad temper since she was a child, but she is the most favored among the three sisters.
Although Zhong Xuemei is the oldest girl in the mansion, she has always been the most ignored one in the mansion because of her illegitimate status and her plain appearance and manners.
When Zhong Xuemei saw Zhong Xueying slowly walking towards her, she quickly hid to the side and stood behind a big tree.
But Zhong Xueying had already seen her. She thought that Zhong Xuemei's hiding from her was an act of contempt for her as the Crown Princess, so she stood where she was and asked someone to bring Zhong Xuemei out.
Zhong Xuemei followed the servants to Zhong Xueying with some trepidation and bowed slightly.
"Sister, you are back. I have been very busy lately and was unable to greet you in person. Please forgive me."
Zhong Xueying glanced at Zhong Xuemei, circled around her twice, and suddenly snorted coldly.
""My sister has become much more gentle and beautiful after getting married. It seems that the son-in-law chosen by my father is really good."
"Everything is thanks to my father's wisdom. Chang Wei and I are both humble people. The fact that we can be together is a fate we cultivated in our previous life."
"Sister, don't belittle yourself. Father is willing to arrange such a marriage for you, of course he likes you. Otherwise, like me and my elder sister, you were sent to the prince's mansion to be a wife or concubine, fighting all day long. That would be a truly miserable life."
Zhong Xuemei shook her head helplessly in her heart. She knew that Zhong Xueying said that on purpose. She had clearly volunteered to go to the Prince's Mansion, saying that she liked the Prince and wanted to marry him. But how come her father was forcing her to go now?
It was obvious that Zhong Xueying was showing off. She thought that Zhong Xuemei's husband was just a commoner, without even a penny of honor, and from a poor family.
Even if Zhong Xuemei is Song Changwei's only woman, so what?
Without power and status, and without ability, he is only worthy of owning a woman. Therefore, Zhong Xueying only uses this to show her superiority, thereby stimulating Zhong Xuemei. She wants to see her change of expression, so as to achieve her own perverted pleasure.
But Zhong Xuemei just remained calm, not showing the expected inferiority and anxiety, and she continued to speak.
"Sister is my father's most beloved daughter, so I will naturally plan for you. If my sister can give birth to a legitimate son for the Crown Prince one day, then she will be the Crown Prince's true wife."
Zhong Xueying had a smug look on her face and was about to say a few more words when she heard Zhong Xuemei speak again.
"Sister, instead of having the time to argue with me here, you might as well go back and study how to get pregnant!"
