After she saw the child, she only asked a few questions with mild concern, then fell silent.
Now, she’s even taking an interest in watching the street keenly!
Could it be that, in the years of my absence, this foolish woman had another child, and so she feels my child is no longer important?
No, how can this be, I have schemed so much, I absolutely cannot let all my efforts be in vain.
For a moment, Mrs. Mo’s mind was a whirlwind of thoughts.
Out of curiosity, Mrs. Mo spoke, "I see the Princess Consort doesn’t look too well, could it be that you’re pregnant again?"
"No, perhaps it’s heaven’s punishment for my wrongdoing towards this child, I haven’t been able to conceive since giving birth that year," the Princess Consort Jing said, a trace of sorrow flashing in her eyes as she looked at Mo Ziqiao beside her.
Mrs. Mo snickered inwardly.
It’s good that she isn’t pregnant, it seems that the sabotage I did back then is still effective.
The Princess Consort Jing assumed that Mrs. Mo asked because she herself missed children, after all, they were her own flesh and blood; if not for her selfishness in the past, she wouldn’t have caused mother and child to be separated.
"Zi Yan, the Prince is checking Zhouzhou’s homework today, and it wouldn’t be right to take him out forcibly. When the time is right, I’ll arrange for Zhouzhou to meet with you," the Princess Consort Jing said considerately.
But she failed to notice the look on Mrs. Mo’s face, as if she had swallowed a fly.
That useless thing, goodness knows whose bastard child he is, who would want to see him?
Had it not been for the position of Crown Princess for the Princely Heir Jing, I wouldn’t have bothered to stage such a play, but despite all calculations, I still missed something.
I may have fooled this stupid woman, but I couldn’t fool the Prince Jing or the Princely Heir Jing, the complete good-for-nothing that everyone disdains, I now find unworthy of my own daughter.
The whole person, only the status of Princely Heir Jing can be shown off, but it’s a pity that he’s a counterfeit.
"There’s no rush for that, he is your son, Mrs. Mo, it wouldn’t be appropriate for me to meet him," Mrs. Mo declined, and then she concocted another plan, "For Ziqiao, there is another matter for which I would seek the Princess Consort’s assistance."
"What’s our relationship after all, and since it’s for Ziqiao, just speak your mind," the Princess Consort Jing said with a smile.
Mrs. Mo’s expression instantly changed, revealing a touch of sorrow, "It’s also my fault that my husband and I are incompetent, causing Ziqiao to suffer in status. The Empress’s birthday is approaching, and I was thinking, it would be good for Ziqiao to get out more and see the world, to pave the way for her future."
It would be best for her to meet more influential people, this fool now believes Ziqiao is her and Prince Jing’s daughter, which is extremely disadvantageous for Ziqiao’s prospects of marrying into the Imperial Family.
But thinking of the Princely Heir Jing’s foolish appearance, she couldn’t bear to marry her beautiful and delicate daughter to such a man.
The Princess Consort Jing, unaware of Mrs. Mo’s inner thoughts, was moved, "These years, I have wronged you, it’s tough on you, to still be so considerate for Ziqiao!"
Mrs. Mo has also been just like her these years, having not conceived since her first child, and naturally, Mr. Mo couldn’t be without a son, so there has been a constant stream of new women in their household.
The Princess Consort Jing had heard of this several times, and that’s why she felt especially sorry for Mrs. Mo if not for her having taken her son, how could Mrs. Mo have been treated this way by her in-laws, for not being able to bear a son!
The Princess Consort Jing saw Ye Jiu in the street, likewise, Ye Jiu saw her carriage too.
They merely brushed past each other, leaving no trace behind.
