Childbearing system: The royal family is shocked to see their offspring wither away!

The wife of Duke Ningguo had such a daughter in her old age. There was only one legitimate daughter in the whole family of Duke Ningguo. Song Yunyun must be a very noble and respectable person, and a girl that everyone in the mansion liked.

A girl like this...after suffering such a great humiliation, I'm afraid it would be difficult for her to get over it.

Fortunately, it was Marquis Yingwu who saved the daughter of the wife of Duke Ningguo. Otherwise, if Dengtu Zi had saved Song Yunyun, who knows how bad Song Yunyun's reputation would have been.

When everyone saw this scene, they all turned to look at the wife of Duke Ningguo.

When Lady Ningguo saw her daughter's current state, she sighed and looked worried.

I don't want to marry my daughter to such an old man, but...if she doesn't marry him now, I don't know what to do.

After all, it was Chen Bo who saved his daughter.

When she thought of this old man, Yingwu Marquis Chen Bo, she became very angry. If it weren't for Chen Bo, Song Yunyun could have married the prince and become his consort.

It’s a pity that it was Marquis Yingwu who saved his own daughter.

My daughter is so cute... and so young. Even Chen Bo is not much younger than her biological mother, Lady Ningguo. But I have to marry my daughter to such an old man. I really can't bear to let her do that.

But what can we do now?

Lady Ningguo was about to say something, but when she saw her daughter's timid and pitiful look, her heart was broken.

Lady Ningguo continued, "...Oh, no more, no more, it's all mother's fault. Mother really spoke without thinking. Mother shouldn't have said these nonsense."

"Mother will take you back home right away to get your illness treated and get rid of your cold. Then we will go to Marquis Yingwu's residence and thank you sincerely."

As she spoke, she quickly asked her maid to take out a change of clothes that had been prepared long ago and change them for her daughter.

After changing, they took a carriage and were escorted back to the Ningguo Mansion by Zhuzi, Songzi and others.

As soon as they left, Chen Zhining immediately frowned and turned to look at the Second Prince's wife and Qin Lengyu. They said to them, "What is going on now? How could someone fall into the water?!"

"Did you check?!"

The Second Prince's Consort said quickly:

Of course we have to check it out.”

"As soon as we found someone falling into the water, Princess Pingnan took people to investigate. I think they will be able to find out the truth soon. Don't worry."

"..."

Chen Zhining nodded with a grim expression.

Not long after, Princess Pingnan came over.

After Princess Pingnan came over, everyone saluted her immediately. Chen Zhining also saluted Princess Pingnan immediately, "Eldest sister."

A room full of women in gorgeous clothes were performing the rituals with such elaborate movements that it was truly a feast for the eyes.

Princess Pingnan quickly returned the greeting to Chen Zhining, "...With your current status, you don't need to bow to me."

"This is what you should do for your eldest sister."

Princess Pingnan smiled and said a few words to Qin Lengyu, "Miss Qin is about to become the Crown Princess. I will not leave for a while and will stay in Kyoto. You can come to the palace to reminisce with me, drink tea and chat. I also like you, the emperor's sister-in-law, very much."

Qin Lengyu immediately bowed to Princess Pingnan and said, "Well, I'd better obey your command."

"I hope Princess Pingnan won't find me annoying."

"How could this happen?"

Princess Pingnan looked at Qin Lengyu with a warm smile.

Afterwards, the Grand Princess of Pingnan said to Chen Zhining and the others in a flurry, "I have already investigated this matter. It was not that any girl deliberately harmed him, nor was it that any girl was jealous... There was no female relative who did anything wrong. It was just that Miss Song fell into it by accident."

"There was a woman from the empress dowager's maternal family nearby named... Miss Zhao. She was holding her and she almost fell in herself."

"Oh, she was frightened."

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, and then everyone nodded and said, "That's true."

Chen Zhining also nodded and said, "After all, this is Leng Yu's home court. Even if they want to frame someone, they should frame Leng Yu."

"Since she is fine, it must be... because this girl accidentally fell in."

Just like the plot in novels where people are secretly harmed, girls often fall into the river. This is very normal.

But even when there is no assassination plot, people can still fall into the water.

So this incident was purely an accident.

The Second Prince's wife twitched her lips, and then she heard Qin Lengyu frown and say, "If this incident was an accident, then this Ningguo Duke's legitimate daughter... is really unlucky."

"This Miss Song Yunyun looks like a pitiful little girl. If she gets a bad reputation because of this incident...it will be really embarrassing for no one to marry her."

"This girl is not engaged yet."

"Yeah, he's still a child."

Chen Zhining frowned, and then said to Princess Pingnan, "I heard from the wife of Duke Ningguo that she wanted to arrange a marriage for the Duke Ningguo's legitimate daughter, so my brother would be the one to marry. If my brother were to marry this girl, it would be... really awkward for the two of them."

"After all, the age difference between them is too big."

Especially Chen Bo, he doesn't want to get married now.

If Chen Bo really wanted to get married, he wouldn't have made Chen Zhining and the others worry about him.

Chen Zhining hadn't had the chance to ask Chen Bo whether he wanted to get married.

As a result, this incident has happened and I don’t know how to tell my mother or Chen Bo.

"..."

Chen Zhining had an ugly expression on his face. Just when he was about to say something, he heard Princess Pingnan suddenly burst into laughter.

Princess Pingnan couldn't help but smile on her beautiful face. She smiled at Chen Zhining and said, "What did you say? You mean... Chen Bo actually wants a well-behaved little wife."

"And his young wife is 12 years younger than him. That really makes me happy."

Chen Zhining's eyebrows jumped, and he quickly said, "Eldest sister, please be careful with your words and actions."

Princess Pingnan immediately smiled and said, "My dear sister-in-law, you probably don't know what kind of family the Ningguo Mansion is, right?"

"..."

Chen Zhining and the Second Prince's wife looked at each other, and the Second Prince's wife's expression gradually became ugly.
