The Sickly Regent Prince Who Was Abandoned as a Substitute Bride

Chapter 166 Warmth Can Never Have Children!

"Sister Wan'er, you're not going? Don't you know what's going on outside? They say the reason you're not going is because you still can't forget the Crown Prince and can't let go of your old feelings!"

She addressed Dongfang Wan'er warmly and affectionately as "younger sister," and this was not merely a simple formality. In reality, she and Wan'er were close in age, and Wan'er had never considered her as Dongfang Zheng's concubine. Therefore, it was natural for her to address Wan'er as a sister.

"Let them say what they want, I don't care. But Mother and Sister Nuan, why didn't you go?" Dongfang Wan'er didn't seem to care about this, but was curious about the reason why the two of them didn't attend.

"Mother, I really don't want to join in that fun! I had already planned to part ways with Dongfang Zheng, and going to such an event would only cause me more trouble."

Lu Wanning stated her stance firmly, clearly showing that she had absolutely no interest in the event.

"Oh dear, Wan'er, you really didn't see how smug Liu Qiqi was! She acted like her own daughter had married into the Eastern Palace. Hmph, so what if she's pregnant with the Crown Prince's child? What's there to brag about! Look at how arrogant Dongfang Mingzhu was after she got pregnant with the Crown Prince's child—it was unbearable! Tsk tsk tsk..."

At this moment, Wen Nuan seemed to have completely changed. She was no longer the gentle and docile woman she used to be in front of Dongfang Zheng. Instead, she was a bold and straightforward heroine!

“Hehehe, Sister Wen Nuan, please don’t be angry. When the child in your belly is born, you will know the reason. At that time, there will definitely be a huge surprise waiting for you!” Dongfang Wan’er’s lips curled up slightly, revealing a sly and mysterious smile.

Lu Wanning and Wen Nuan were not stupid, and they immediately understood the deeper meaning in Dongfang Wan'er's words.

Lu Wanning instinctively covered her mouth with her hand, her eyes widening in astonishment as she said, "Wan'er, could you be referring to Liu Qiqi's child...?"

At this point, Lu Wanning suddenly stopped talking. She knew that some things did not need to be said, and any intelligent person would understand them.

"Yes, that's right, Mother!" Dongfang Wan'er nodded gently, giving an affirmative answer.

"Moreover, it's not just Liu Qiqi's child, but also Dongfang Mingzhu's child. These two, mother and daughter, are truly mother and daughter; they do the same things!"

"That makes things much more interesting!" Wen Nuan pondered with great interest, her heart filled with anticipation, eager to witness Dongfang Zheng's appearance after the child's birth.

Fortunately, Dongfang Wan'er had never liked servants to be around, which allowed them to talk so freely.

At this moment, only Qiuqin, his personal maid, was by his side... while Xiaobai was lazily lying at the door.

It can be said that Dongfang Wan'er's boudoir was foolproof and absolutely safe!

"By the way, Sister Wen Nuan, I plan to send a loyal maid to serve you. That girl named Xiao Cui is really unreliable. As long as someone gives her a little bit of sweetness, she will do things for them."

Dongfang Wan'er suddenly remembered Xiao Cui.

“I understand!” Wen Nuan nodded gently, recalling the scene from a few days ago when Xiao Cui tried every means to persuade her to drink a certain food.

Anyone with a modicum of sense could tell at a glance that there was something wrong with the food. This Xiao Cui is truly incredibly foolish!

"Sister Wan'er, please help me take a look. To tell you the truth, I actually drank what Xiao Cui brought me a long time ago!"

With a warm gaze, she looked earnestly at Dongfang Wan'er. Although she already had a plan in mind, she still wanted to hear her opinion.

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Wan'er frowned and said with a worried expression, "Sister Nuan, you are really too foolish! What if it is poison?"

After saying that, although she was complaining about Wen Nuan, she didn't dare to delay for a moment. She quickly put three fingers on Wen Nuan's wrist to take her pulse and make a diagnosis.

As time passed, Dongfang Wan'er's expression grew increasingly solemn, and fine beads of sweat gradually appeared on her forehead.

Seeing this, Wen Nuan became even more anxious and quickly asked, "Sister Wan'er, what happened? Why do you look so pale? Is my condition really that bad?"

At this moment, Wen Nuan was filled with doubt and worry, completely unable to figure out where the problem was.

"Sister Nuan, you're completely foolish! Don't you want your child anymore? The person who poisoned you is so vicious! She wants you to never be able to have your own child!"

Dongfang Wan'er's face was tense, her eyes revealing a solemn expression as she stared directly at Wen Nuan. Wen Nuan, on the other hand, smiled gently...

"Hehe, Sister Wan'er, I previously mistakenly thought I had been poisoned and was about to die. I never imagined it was just this. If there's no child, then so be it. Actually, I already knew what was going on when I drank that stuff."

Her warm tone sounded nonchalant, as if she didn't care at all about losing her child. In fact, she had come here for revenge, determined to turn Dongfang Zheng's family upside down.

If she had actually had a child, she might have chosen to let Dongfang Zheng go for the sake of the child. Now that she doesn't have a child, it's better, because she can carry out her plans without any scruples.

Dongfang Wan'er frowned, her face showing worry: "Sister Nuan, although I told you that Dongfang Zheng killed your father, I did have my own selfish motives. However, if you didn't want the child, you could have told me beforehand. I have the appropriate medicine available. Unfortunately, you've been poisoned for several days now, and I'm helpless."

As she spoke, Dongfang Wan'er shook her head helplessly, her face full of powerlessness. Clearly, she felt utterly at a loss as to how to cure Wen Nuan from the poison.

"Wan'er, every word you spoke, every sentence you uttered, is deeply etched in my heart. In truth, a long time ago, I made up my mind to avenge this blood feud!"

His warm gaze was as fiery and unwavering as a burning flame, containing a resolute determination to burn one's bridges.

At this moment, her heart was filled with endless hatred, like a dark abyss that swallowed all light and hope.

No matter how many difficulties and dangers lie ahead, even if it's a mountain of knives and a sea of ​​fire, she will never back down, because revenge has become the only belief and pursuit in her life.

A hint of coldness flickered in her warm eyes, but she knew she had a responsibility to take care of her mother.

Moreover, Dongfang Zheng is an important official of the court. If we were to poison him rashly, it would not only implicate his family, but could even lead to greater disasters.

Therefore, she decided to adopt a more prudent strategy, gradually weakening and disintegrating Dongfang Zheng's power, plunging him into an irrecoverable situation.

"Sister Nuan, since you've made up your mind, Wan'er won't try to persuade you any further," Wan'er said softly, her eyes filled with helplessness and worry.

"What's there to persuade me about? Alright, now that we've confirmed this stuff isn't poisonous and won't kill anyone, that's all that matters. Wan'er, next month is your coming-of-age ceremony, and your sister Nuan will do her best to prepare it for you. It will definitely be more grand and spectacular than that Oriental Pearl Tower's coming-of-age ceremony!" Nuan patted her chest and assured Wan'er with great confidence.

"Sister Nuan, Wan'er really doesn't care about this at all. It doesn't matter whether it's there or not!" Dongfang Wan'er shook her head, a faint smile on her face.

"How can that be? This is a matter of utmost importance concerning your lifelong happiness. You can rest assured and entrust everything to Sister Nuan!"

Wen Nuan held Dongfang Wan'er's slender and delicate hand tightly, her beautiful eyes filled with deep care and affection.

Dongfang Wan'er also returned the gesture of holding the warm hand!

As soon as she finished speaking, Wen Nuan turned to leave. This matter was urgent and needed to be addressed immediately, without any delay or negligence.
