The Cousin Is About to Marry，The Abstinent Young Lord Loses Control-Chapter 200: Probing for Information

Princess An He values Xie Yunzhen’s offspring.

It’s not surprising to say this.

Ji Mingzhu quietly drank the soup and didn’t respond.

If Princess An He knows they are also planning to have children, she would likely keep watch over them daily.

She hasn’t forgotten how the Princess sent over tonic soup right after their marriage.

In her previous life, she was watched by the Princess. Daily meals, hours of sleep, and hours of activity were all regulated.

As long as suggestions were beneficial to her, Ji Mingzhu would heed them.

But she truly disliked being constantly watched; it was suffocating.

Xie Yunzhen now understands well without Ji Mingzhu needing to say much, he solved the problem.

"We are clear about the matter of offspring ourselves, please don’t always watch Mingzhu, lest others take interest in her womb."

Quietly deciding, once the General Mansion is renovated, regardless of whether Mingzhu is pregnant or not, they would move out.

Relations within Duke Mansion are complex.

Living in the same residence, seeing some faces repeatedly, it’s better to move out.

As for whether doing so affects his status as heir, he doesn’t care.

Unless he gives up, no one can take it from him.

He’s also a common man and understands the benefits of power.

It’s impossible for him to hand over Duke Mansion.

Within his capabilities, he will strive for the best for his people.

Including future children.

Ji Mingzhu didn’t speak, and Princess An He was half disheartened, thinking she would be refused by her son again.

Unexpectedly, he said this.

This means there’s intention!

Suddenly, she was delighted again.

Given the situation of the mansion and her son’s reminders, Princess An He took the words to heart.

The disgraceful woman and Du Family are not yet dealt with; at such times, mentioning children is indeed inappropriate.

Xie Yunzhen was impeached by the Du Family, and it made Princess An He sick with worry.

If Ji Mingzhu’s pregnancy were also targeted, she wouldn’t know if she would go mad from anger!

Seeing Ji Mingzhu finish the soup, Princess An He was very satisfied.

"If anything happens, don’t hide it from me, I’ll have the nanny teach you how to maintain the pregnancy."

Ji Mingzhu responded lightly with a sound.

In her past life, after one night with Xie Yunzhen, she was pregnant.

In this life, both were injured, news might not come as quickly.

When Princess An He asks, let Xie Yunzhen handle it.

Anyway, his mother listens most to him.

He can bluff however he wants.

After finishing the topic of offspring, Princess An He also asked about Consort Xu.

Nobody paid her attention, so Ji Mingzhu sat and let her mind wander.

Until a maid came to inform her, pulling her mind back.

"Princess, Aunt Du is here to greet you."

Princess An He clicked her tongue, "It’s rare for her to come greet, isn’t she here for the fun seeing Ah Zhen and the others?"

Then, gnashing her teeth, she said, "Or perhaps, she wants to gather information to inform the Grand Tutor!"

The more she thinks, the more she believes it’s the latter.

In the past, Princess An He would let Du Peifang kneel outside, making sure she knew who is the real mistress of the house.

Daring to flaunt in the main courtyard, truly sick of life!

However, now her son has finally returned, she’d rather not punish Du Peifang, fearing the Du Family would cause an uproar again.

"Send her away, don’t let her annoy me!"

"But Aunt Du said, Lord Duke sent her, saying she’s the Young Master’s elder, so it’s proper to care for the juniors."

These words sounded extremely absurd, making Princess An He laugh in anger.

"What is she to care about juniors? I see the heartless man is establishing her authority! If this continues, will the power of the household be in her pocket too?"

Due to Du Peifang’s miscarriage, Duke Xie was angry later.

In his view, once Du Peifang entered the Duke Mansion, she became part of Xie Family.

What her family does isn’t something she can interfere with.

If even he doesn’t protect Du Peifang, she’d likely not survive in Duke Mansion.

Those matters have long been a thorn in Princess An He’s throat, and Du Peifang visiting the main courtyard now undoubtedly pokes at the thorn stuck in Princess An He’s heart.

Princess An He’s face turned completely dark.

She said to Xie Yunzhen: "Look at your father, how utterly heartless! Only outsiders unaware of the truth are fooled by his false displays of kindness, praising him as good, truly laughable!"

Xie Yunzhen’s expression did not change.

Calmly sipping tea, "Annoying people should be sent away; if she can’t see the signs and insists on being a clown, don’t spare her face, punish if needed."

These words were also said to Ji Mingzhu.

Some time ago, he encountered troubles, Mingzhu humbled herself by kneeling before the palace gates to plead for him.

Xie Yunzhen was moved.

He doesn’t want Mingzhu to bear grievances again; if anyone provokes her, she need not endure for his sake.

"Can we really punish her?" Princess An He asked uncertainly.

Xie Yunzhen nodded, "Family follows family rules."

Princess An He’s tense body relaxed slightly, she asked in a low voice: "Will the Du Family cause trouble again?"

After this event, Princess An He is truly scared.

If her son ends up in prison again, she could never forgive herself.

As long as her son is well, she can endure some grievances.

Xie Yunzhen tapped the armrest, "Let them cause trouble; if they truly care for their daughter, our Duke Mansion is willing to let her leave, let the Du Family take her back."

The palace has not forgotten Du Peifang’s previous scheme.

Since then, Du Family was destined to decline.

Whether they can safely withdraw from the power center depends on the Du Family’s discretion.

With her son’s words, Princess An He instantly gained confidence.

"Dare to disgust me, then kneel for a while; when I’m in a better mood, perhaps I’ll grant her favor to enter."

Du Peifang visited the main courtyard, partly for Duke Xie’s support, partly to probe Xie Yunzhen’s stance.

If Xie Yunzhen had no hope of restoring status, she must hurry to conceive again.

Then have her family pressure the Lord Duke to change the heir to her son.

Even using surrogacy, she must accomplish this!

Recently, Princess An He kept a low profile, while Duke Xie felt guilty towards Du Peifang and kept supporting her.

Thus, Du Peifang felt she would soon rise.

Upon Duke Xie’s word, she impatiently went to the main courtyard.

Forced to kneel on the ground, Du Peifang’s mind drew a blank.

At this moment, it seemed like she was pulled back to two months prior.

During the days when Princess An He’s people treated her with beatings and scoldings.

Her body uncontrollably shivered.

Immediately afterward, boundless anger rose in her heart.

The old woman dared to insult her, didn’t she think Xie Yunzhen was imprisoned long enough!

Du Peifang scolded, "I am the legitimate daughter of Grand Tutor Mansion and Lord Duke’s concubine; treating me like this, do you not respect my father or the Lord Duke!"

Neither the maid nor servants replied to her.

Just holding her shoulders down, not allowing her to get up.

The commotion reached inside, causing Xie Yunzhen to frown irritably.

Truly bothersome!

His hand reaching out, pulling Ji Mingzhu up and leading her forward.

"Mother, you deal with this nuisance first."

Princess An He, having endured for two months, could finally vent her anger.

No longer caring about the young couple.

As they walked out, she reminded, "Take care of that matter."

Du Peifang knelt on the ground, watched as Xie Yunzhen and Ji Mingzhu holding hands passed before her.

Humiliated and enraged.

So angry that she cried.

She must go home to complain, and have her father continue to impeach Xie Yunzhen and his mother!
