Demoting the Wife to a Concubine? The Reborn Legitimate Daughter Crippled his Entire Family.

Shen Ning was about to speak when a hurried voice suddenly sounded outside: "Prince, Princess, my cousin committed suicide!"

As soon as the words fell, the room suddenly became quiet.

The charming atmosphere that was rarely created was swept away in an instant.

Ji Yucang's expression suddenly turned cold, his brows filled with disgust, he stood up, took a robe and put it on.

"Why did she commit suicide suddenly?" Shen Ning suppressed the heat in her ears and calmed down little by little, "How did you deal with Gu Yanran's poisoning last time?"

Ji Yucang fastened his belt and said in a calmer tone: "The king betrothed her to one of his generals. He is nearly 40 years old, has lost his wife, has a bad temper, and has a difficult old mother at home."

Shen Ning was stunned, then nodded slowly: "A person like her should really be paired with a man with a bad temper."

Although Gu Yanran was Ji Yucang's cousin, her repeated actions had already touched Ji Yucang's bottom line. Not counting the first few provocations, the last time she even committed poisoning.

If it weren't for the sake of his late mother, Gu Yanran would have been executed. Now it was an extra mercy to spare her life. Marrying a general with a bad temper is a second marriage, but she is still a real wife, not a concubine who can be sold at will.

From now on, if she takes good care of her husband and raises her children, serves her mother-in-law, and lives her life with peace of mind, no matter how bad-tempered the man is, he will not treat her too badly for the sake of the regent.

But Gu Yanran obviously didn't think so.

Shen Ning thought thoughtfully: "When is the wedding date?"

"I asked them to get married within half a month. Yang Ming must have stepped up the preparations for the process. Gu Yanran has been in confinement these days. It is probably that the day of the wedding is approaching and he plans to risk death." Ji Yucang said, turned around and walked out.

At the foot of the stone steps outside the palace, the nun in charge of the palace stood. When she saw Ji Yucang coming out, she knelt down in fear: "Your Majesty."

Ji Yucang said coldly: "Gu Yanran committed suicide?"

"Reporting to the prince, Miss Gu has been on a hunger strike these days and has lost a lot of weight. However, no one of the maids in the palace dared to spread the word about the hunger strike. Neither the prince nor the princess knew about it. I didn't expect...I didn't expect that Miss Gu couldn't afford to see the hunger strike. The result was that he actually hanged himself tonight..."

"Someone died?"

"No, no..." the stewardess shook her head quickly, "As soon as Miss Gu kicked the stool, the maid outside heard the noise and barged in, so it didn't cause a big disaster."

"In this case, please tell me that all the servants in Yanran should ignore her. If she wants to die, just let her go." Ji Yucang's voice was cold and ruthless, without any emotion, "I just want Gu Yanran to know that she will die if she dies." Don’t even think about giving her a grand burial. I will have someone prepare a straw mat for her and drag her directly to the mass grave to dump her body.”

The stewardess was so frightened by these words that her face turned pale. She kowtowed and said, "Yes, yes, I will go right now."

Ji Yucang turned around and went back to the room. Shen Ning was already lying down. She didn't care about Gu Yanran's outcome.

She is now weak and her only task is to focus on taking good care of her body.

But Ji Yucang obviously wanted her to know.

Taking off her clothes, she opened the quilt again and lay down in it. Ji Yucang held her slender arms and held her whole body in his arms: "Yang Ming has a daughter who was divorced in March this year, so after Gu Yanran got married, she didn't have a chance. The old mother in Yang Ming's family who bullies his daughter has always been strong and difficult to deal with, and will take good care of her temper. "

"General Yang only has a daughter?"

"Well." Ji Yucang sniffed the smell of her hair greedily, feeling her questions in his arms, and his voice became softer unconsciously, "Yang Ming's first wife was injured after having this daughter. After so many years, I couldn’t get pregnant again, and I didn’t give birth to a boy. I suffered from my mother-in-law’s troubles for many years, so I died early.”

Shen Ning frowned: "Leaving aside Gu Yanran, isn't General Yang's mother too..."

"It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs." Ji Yucang said, "Yang Ming's mother wanted grandchildren, but Yang Ming stayed in the army all year round and never had a concubine. She could not satisfy her wish to have grandchildren. The old lady kept busy at home. Making things difficult for my daughter-in-law eventually led to her long-term depression and her death soon after.”

Shen Ning hummed, noncommittal.

It is true that outsiders cannot interfere in household affairs.

What's more, who is not as anxious as the old lady of the Yang family to have a grandson?

It's just that after Gu Yanran got married, she probably had to endure some hardships.

Shen Ning thought of Gu Yanran's stupid and self-righteous temperament. If she was forced into a hurry, would she do something drastic?

She reminded: "It's okay to let her get married, but it's best to have two people around to keep an eye on her, so as not to give her the chance to jump over the wall."

"Don't worry." Ji Yucang buried himself in her neck, absorbing her fragrance, and said in a lazy voice, "Don't talk about her. Whether she lives or dies depends on her own fate. After she leaves the cabinet, she will have nothing to do with the Regent's Palace from now on. You don't have to Take care of her."

Shen Ning looked at the curtain in silence, wanting to ask him if he was hugging him too tightly.

How can she sleep like this?

…

I'm too lazy during the holidays, so I'll add a chapter later.
