Chapter 290 The Sisters' End
Mo Yi was extremely frightened.

I carefully rested at home for several days.

Although it was difficult and a headache, I still had to go to the Xu family.

This time, it was arranged in advance. When they arrived at the second gate of the Xu family, Mo Wen was already waiting at the door.

Her complexion improved significantly, and she was no longer listless.

She wore a light blue silk dress, with several enamel hairpins adorning her black hair, looking both refreshing and elegant.

He became much gentler and accompanied Mo Yi inside, followed by a group of maids. They first went to Old Madam Xu's room.

Madam Xu greeted them at the courtyard gate. After exchanging greetings, they went inside to talk.

The Xu family clearly cares a lot about Mo Wen's situation; even the old lady knows about her health and diet.

After chatting for a while, the old lady noticed that Mo Yi seemed somewhat distracted, so she smiled and said, "You two sisters, go and have a private chat. The Princess must have lunch at home at noon..."

After exchanging a few polite words, the two sisters came out and returned to Mowen's courtyard.

“These days, the soup has never stopped.” Now that only Dujuan was behind her, Mowen became more talkative. “Grandmother also transferred some of her capable servants over. Her period has come, and a female doctor was called in to check, and she said everything is normal.”

"I'm fine, don't worry."

"Mm." Mo Yi nodded somewhat reservedly.

Seeing that Mo Yi was unusually quiet today, Mo Wen continued, "In the end, we couldn't find out what happened last time. So, I didn't tell my mother much, so as not to worry her. I think one has to keep looking forward..."

"Do you have any doubts yourself?" Moe asked.

Mo Wen shook her head. "No. My mother-in-law said that when I get pregnant again, I'll move into her yard, and she'll take care of me the whole time. She told me not to overthink it."

The two entered the room and sat down. The maids served tea and then discreetly withdrew.

Looking at the cozy room, Mo Yi suddenly asked, "Have you ever considered that Xu Ke brought this disaster upon you?"

Hearing her call her husband by his name, Mo Wen frowned, looked outside, and said nothing.

"If I knew the reason, would you want to know, or not?" Mo Yi turned to look at her.

"What do you mean?" Mo Wen's face turned pale, and her tone turned cold.

Taking a deep breath, Mo Yi calmly looked at Mo Wen: "If what we've found out is true, it's very disgraceful."

Mo Wen clenched her fists nervously, looking at Mo Yi with a sinking heart. How could she not understand how her husband treated her?
Could it be that he has a mistress outside?
Seeing that she didn't speak, Mo Yi said directly, "Xu Ke has... that kind of relationship with Princess Yu'an."

Turning her head away from Mo Wen, she said, "After your accident, I suspected it was done by someone powerful and cold-blooded who didn't care about human life... and it also seemed like a fit of pique or revenge. Because, they could have easily killed you, but they chose this method instead. If it was Princess Yu'an who did it, then the cause and effect make sense!"

Mo Wen didn't even blink as memories flooded in like a tide.
Everything is indeed fluent now...

He was the one who chose her, but he became very cold after the engagement. He didn't share a room with her on their wedding night, and he remained so afterward.

Although they later shared a room, he wasn't like what I'd heard... How could a normal young man act like that?

He has no self in his heart or mind.

There have been many speculations, and some even suspected that he had homosexual tendencies.

But who would have thought that he was actually the princess's lover?!
Anger and shame, fear and hatred overwhelmed Mo Wen.

Without saying a word, he swept his arm and knocked over a table full of teapots and teacups.

The force was so great that when those things hit the ground, fragments flew far away.

"Mo Yi! You're spouting lies!" Mo Wen's eyes were bloodshot.

Hearing the commotion, the maid outside rushed in.

"Get out!" Mo Wen's chest heaved as he screamed at the girl who had just peeked out.

The maids immediately hid away.

"You think I'm not miserable enough... right?! How can there be such a vicious person as you in this world?" She pointed at Mo Yi's nose.

At this moment, she has no idea which is more heartbreaking for her: her husband's homosexuality, keeping a mistress, or being a concubine of a princess.

No, no!
The first two, although they might feel humiliated and disgusted, wouldn't lead to a miscarriage...

Handsome, intelligent, arrogant, and seemingly otherworldly, her husband's true nature was quite different.

Male concubines – from ancient times to the present, the mere mention of this word has invariably been met with disdain.

This has brought shame upon the family!
If their grandparents and in-laws find out, how will they ever have the face to step out of their house again?!

"Why did you do this to me?" Mo Wen cried, tears streaming down her face. "I've lost my child!" She touched her stomach.

Why did you hurt me like this?

At this moment, she didn't know if she was talking about Mo Yi or Xu Ke. Mo Yi knew she would be sad, but she didn't expect her to be so agitated towards her, "I've known about this news for a while now, and I've been considering whether or not to..."

"Shut up! Shut up! You disgust me!" Mo Wen said as if she had gone mad.

Although she was frantic, she dared not raise her voice, desperately suppressing her voice and emotions, which distorted her face, making her look extremely ferocious.

“Mo Yi…you’re living such a good life! Living in luxury, favored by the prince, not having to serve your in-laws, and even having your own way of making money to support your family…when you come to the Xu family as a guest, even the old lady has to stand up to greet you, smiling and trying to please you. But I didn’t go out of my way to please you…why are you putting me down like this? Saying all this to me…”

"Sister..." Mo Yi's head ached even more when she saw her like this.

"Don't call me that! I don't have a sister like you! Mo Yi, I don't want to hear such disgusting words a second time. If I find out you said these things to my mother-in-law, disgusting the Xu family... I'll kill myself right now!"

Mo Wen's chest heaved, his eyes bloodshot, looking as if he wanted to devour Mo Yi. "Did you hear that?"

Mo Yi was also furious. She stared at her silently for a long time before saying weakly, "Do whatever you want. But you have parents, don't let them worry about you..."

Mo Wen let out a chilling laugh: "Don't worry! I chose this path myself." Tears and snot streamed down her face, but she didn't wipe them away.

"I'll take responsibility for my actions. In the future, even if I need food, I'll avoid your Qi Prince's mansion. Let's settle this today, and from now on, we'll have nothing to do with each other! Please leave!"

Mo Wen sat there blankly, without saying a word.

Mo Yi looked at her: on the steps of Dajue Temple, she grasped her own hand and then let go.

There was also the birth certificate to be given to my aunt...

She couldn't help but sigh. In fact, she had already let go; it was she who was still pulling on him.

"Alright. As you wish. Finally, let me kindly remind you that our sisterly bond may be over, but your matter is not. Think carefully about what to do."

After saying that, he got up and walked out.

Mo Wen sat there blankly, her mind a complete blank.

Then she went back to her bedroom, lay down on the bed, and pulled the covers up.

It's already very hot now.

But even though she huddled under the covers, she was still shivering from the cold.

……

Something happened at the Crown Prince's residence; it was a significant matter, but the commotion was not great.

However, he went directly to the Empress.

It turns out that Consort Zhang had drugged the Crown Princess, intending to cause her to miscarry, but the Crown Princess caught her red-handed.

Because Consort Zhang was worried that she wouldn't succeed on the first try, she kept some of the medicine with her. As a result, the Crown Princess searched the place and caught her red-handed.

Poor Consort Zhang never imagined that she had gone to such lengths, mobilizing all the people in the manor to devise such a meticulous plan.

The entire process was seamless and flawless.

But how were they discovered?
When the Crown Prince went to the Western Suburbs Camp, the Crown Princess directly reported the matter to the Empress.

The Empress was furious, but she didn't want this matter to be exposed.

Wouldn't that tarnish the reputation of the Crown Prince's palace?
It will also implicate the crown prince's two sons.

Without saying a word, Consort Zhang was "seriously ill" and, to prevent her from infecting others, was sent to a heavily guarded estate.

When the Crown Prince returned, the mansion had already been cleaned up.

Consort Zhang was the Crown Prince's favorite, with whom he had a close relationship, and she also had two sons. Therefore, he was very unhappy when he learned the news.

They thought they could have waited for him to come back and resolve the issue, so why make a scene in front of the Empress Dowager?

He stormed into the Crown Princess's room.

The Crown Princess, who originally intended to argue with the Crown Prince in a reasoned and forceful manner, was now in a difficult position.

Under Mo Yuan's instigation, he lay on the bed with a handkerchief over his forehead, looking both angry and sick, vomiting incessantly, and on the verge of death...

The prince had a fire in his heart, but couldn't ignite it.

So, they went to Mo Yuan's room.

Mo Yuan had a charming smile on her face, spoke wittily, and was like a confidante...

He also suggested having a game of chess with the Crown Prince.

The prince was extremely confident in his chess skills. But this little girl's moves were so haphazard and disorganized that he was completely overwhelmed.

Although they ultimately won, they were somewhat bewildered and left feeling unsatisfied.

Mo Yuan quickly became the most popular person in the Eastern Palace.
