Chapter 410: Kick the Cripple, That Good Leg
"Princess Ning Xi is so lucky to marry such a good husband. He is not only talented but also loves her alone."
"Yes, I heard that when Princess Ning Xi was pregnant, she wanted to give the prince a concubine, but the prince disagreed. This kind of relationship is really enviable."
Princess Ning Xi listened to the compliments from these people, smiled faintly, and looked at the little pink ball in her arms with gentle eyes.
This is the child she risked her life for.
Whenever she thought about the pain she felt during childbirth, she was still frightened.
If she said before giving birth that she wanted to take a concubine for the county horse just to show her generosity, after giving birth, she really wanted to take a concubine.
"For women like us, winning the husband's heart is not the most important thing. The most important thing is to have a child of our own, don't you think?" Lady Zhenyuan Houfu suddenly spoke.
"That's true. Children are our support." Someone immediately agreed.
The wife of the Marquis of Zhenyuan pretended to tease the child in Princess Ningxi's arms and said, "After ten months of pregnancy and one day of delivery, only your own child can be connected to your heart. It is so cowardly to raise those illegitimate children born by concubines as legitimate children. You are not a hen that can't lay eggs. Why do you steal other people's children?"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at Ji Chuhe.
Ji Chuhe picked up a cup of tea and took a sip. As soon as the wife of Zhenyuan Hou finished speaking, she nodded in agreement, "Who said it wasn't! Madam Zhenyuan Hou, you are absolutely right!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
The Crown Prince's wife didn't realize that this was a subtle hint that she was a hen that couldn't lay eggs, and that she was a fool for snatching the child born by a concubine to raise as her legitimate son.
Why did the Crown Prince’s wife agree?
"Madam Zhenyuan, you are a mother who has raised two sons. You must understand better than me that the bond between a mother and her child is more than just a ten-month pregnancy and a birth. It also involves decades of loving nurturing and planning for him. When he reaches marriageable age, you worry even more. You choose a wife for him, taking every aspect into consideration, fearing that there will be something wrong. But what is the result?"
"You and he are in love, but he is playing tricks on you. He just brings a girl back from outside and marries her at all costs. Family reputation, parents' orders and matchmaker's words are all unimportant in front of him! If this child is not his biological child, would you dare to humiliate his parents like this?" Ji Chuhe asked with a smile.
The wife of Marquis Zhenyuan was exposed in public again, and her face turned blue with anger.
"If your own child gets into trouble, it's only natural for the parents to deal with the aftermath. After all, blood is thicker than water! If it were a bastard's son, then it would be a waste of effort." The wife of the Marquis of Zhenyuan replied directly.
"A bastard knows that his status is humble, and it is a great honor for him to be raised by his stepmother. He can only try his best to please his mistress. Let me ask, does he dare to be so willful? Even if he is stupid and really dares to do so, then this disobedient one can be replaced with an obedient one. There are so many bastards, and he is not the only one. If he doesn't want this great honor, there are many people who do." Ji Chuhe retorted easily.
Everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment.
This was the first time they had heard such remarks!
If Ji Chuhe hadn't said this, they would have been even less likely to look at the problem from this perspective.
When you think about it this way, it does make sense!
How many children will completely obey their mothers when they grow up? How many people have said: If this child is not my own, I would have beaten him to death long ago!
"Do you think that the bastard's respect for you is sincere? Isn't he just using you? He may respect you on the surface, but who knows how much he hates you in his heart! You have been planning your family business for your whole life, but in the end it fell into the hands of a bastard who has no blood relationship with you. Isn't this just making wedding clothes for others?"
"Madam Zhenyuan Hou, you are already old, why haven't you figured it out yet? Life is only a few decades long. You can't bring anything with you when you are born, and you can't take anything with you when you die. You should worry too much about your life. How can you care so much after you die? Before you die, look back on your life and find that nothing is wrong with it. That is the biggest winner in life."
The wife of the Marquis of Zhenyuan moved her lips, but no sound came out.
She really couldn't keep up the conversation.
After living for most of her life, she still doesn't even dare to hand over the power of housekeeper to her daughter-in-law Jiang. Who can understand this kind of hard work!
Originally, she wanted to take this opportunity to humiliate Ji Chuhe, but she didn't expect that Ji Chuhe's counterattack with just a few words made her doubt her life.
"After ten months of pregnancy, how easy is it to give birth? How much pain does the mother go through from the moment she becomes pregnant to the moment she gives birth? Needless to say, the pain of childbirth is excruciating. I would like to ask all the ladies, which one of you can pat your chest and say that you can still give birth!"
This question made Princess Ning Xi's face turn pale.
She had just experienced the pain of childbirth, which was a nightmare she didn't want to recall.
If she had a choice, she didn't want to have any more children.
However, the reality is that she has no choice.
Looking at Ji Chuhe again, she felt so envious of Ji Chuhe.
It’s not that Ji Chuhe can’t give birth, she just doesn’t want to!
Moreover, she has the power to choose.
How many women cannot reach this state?
In the dignified Huaiyang Palace, Ji Chuhe is still a new bride who has been married for less than three years, but she dares to register the illegitimate son under her name.
The Prince of Huaiyang had no objection, the Princess had no objection, and the Crown Prince had no objection.
How could the wife of Marquis Zhenyuan have the right to bother with such things and even use this matter to ridicule Ji Chuhe.
This is not a humiliation at all, this is simply a woman's pride.
If Princess Ning Xi thinks so, others will naturally think so too.
It seems that the wife of Marquis Zhenyuan not only failed to steal the chicken today, but also lost the rice.
Ji Chuhe is indeed not someone who is easy to bully.
Look at this eloquent and venomous little mouth, no one can rival it.
"Madam Zhenyuan Marquis, let me clarify one thing. What I just said does not mean that women should not have children. It's just that I am more open-minded. The bastard also called me mother, and I responded to this call and raised him as my own child. This is just my choice."
"I don't mean that a bastard's son is better than a legitimate son. I'm just targeting your Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion. It's better not to have a son like that. Other families have many obedient and sensible children who are filial to their parents. They come here to repay their gratitude, but yours seems to be here to seek revenge."
Ji Chuhe's words were like a sharp knife, stabbing deeply into the heart of the wife of the Marquis of Zhenyuan!
Everyone was also confused.
The behavior of the Crown Prince's wife is undoubtedly a hard kick to the cripple's good leg.
Even the wife of Marquis Zhenyuan was unable to resist, but she still refused to give in.
Jiang even wanted to tear Ji Chuhe's mouth apart!
Ji Chuhe even went out of his way to clarify, how could someone have such a vicious mind!
