Sun Meng'er was taken aback. What was going on? Had this little brat changed his ways? Why was he running away instead of taking such a dazzling jade pendant? Many people shared the same expression as Sun Meng'er, but their eyes were fixed on Baili Su, watching to see what he was looking for.
However, after looking around, Baili Su didn't take anything. He sat on the ground and grinned foolishly at the group of people. Everyone was speechless. After all this time, it turned out that this young master hadn't chosen anything he liked. He was really hard to please.
Sun Meng'er was dissatisfied and couldn't help but say, "Princess Consort Chen, today is the young prince's first birthday celebration. He didn't choose anything. This is not a good omen. He should at least choose something."
"Yes, why don't you let Princess Chen help choose?"
Putting aside the fact that the first birthday celebration (Zhuang Zhou) concerns a child's future—of course, this is superstition and shouldn't be taken seriously, but it represents a beautiful aspiration. If adults help choose, and the child does well, that's fine; but if not, wouldn't the child resent the adults for hindering them? Furthermore, now that the Empress has sent a gift for the first birthday celebration, it's fine if the child chooses it. But if Ouyang Yue actually chooses it for Baili Su, choosing something else would be disrespectful to the Empress. Even if the gift is meaningless, even if it's just a strand of hair from the Empress, if Ouyang Yue were to choose, it would be far more valuable than any other gift. Not choosing would be disrespectful to the Empress, but choosing it would give others leverage. People would say Ouyang Yue is ambitious, wanting her son to become Crown Prince, and that women are just women in the harem, dependent on men for survival. How many women labeled as ambitious end up well? This puts Ouyang Yue in a dilemma; choosing or not choosing, both are wrong!
Baili Zhi frowned as he looked at Sun Meng'er: "Don't say anything more. Your sister-in-law has her own ideas about this matter. You don't need to offer your opinions." Baili Zhi felt increasingly disgusted with Sun Meng'er. This woman had been spoiled and pampered by the Sun family. Sometimes she didn't even know how to behave properly.
No matter what, he and Baili Chen are brothers. Her repeated troubles with the Chen Prince's Mansion will make outsiders think that the two brothers are not getting along. Not only will people talk about it, but it will also not benefit the two mansions. If it affects the relationship between the two brothers, it will be a loss. But Sun Meng'er is going too far. Even if Baili Zhi wants to ignore it, he can't.
Sun Meng'er's expression changed slightly. Though she didn't speak, a surge of resentment welled up inside her. Why had she done all this? Wasn't it all for Baili Zhi? She was Baili Zhi's woman; only when Baili Zhi became emperor could she rule the harem. And now he was rebuking her? Did he really think the Chen Prince's Mansion was devoted to him? Was he truly foolish or just pretending? Although Sun Meng'er felt deeply wronged, she dared not utter a word, lest she embarrass Baili Zhi.
Ouyang Yue ignored Sun Meng'er and smiled at Baili Su, saying, "Su'er, choose an item. Take whichever one you like."
Seeing that Ouyang Yue remained unmoved, everyone turned their attention back to Baili Su. The little boy had been sitting there, crawling and turning around, before finally sitting down in front of a golden-brown roasted chicken leg. He reached out to grab it and stuffed it into his mouth. Although the chicken leg looked delicious and tender, it was still meat, and Baili Su's teeth hadn't fully grown in yet, so he couldn't bite it. He even seemed to have bumped his mouth. He threw the chicken leg away and started crying, causing everyone to panic.
Baili Su, however, used this energy to grab and throw the surrounding objects in a furious manner.
"Smack!"
"Ouch!" This time, he bumped into an old man with a white beard. By sheer coincidence, what Baili Su was holding was a box of rouge. Instantly, the old man was covered in bright colors and a strong fragrance that made him sneeze.
"Smack!"
"What is that?!"
A pungent smell wafted over, and the person who was hit pinched his nose, throwing aside the scallion that looked quite appetizing.
"Crackling sounds." Next, Baili Su threw whatever he could find. Baili Chen, quick-witted and agile, rushed over and grabbed the Chen King's Seal, ignoring everything else and letting Baili Su throw things around, venting his frustration with the baby's first birthday celebration.
Many people were hit by the things Baili Su threw. Although Baili Su was small and not very strong, it didn't hurt when he threw them, but it was still really embarrassing. Seeing that onions and celery were thrown on his exquisite clothes, and they immediately got a bit of the smell of vegetables on them, it was bad luck. Everyone turned pale and shrank back for fear of being hit.
Upon seeing this, Sun Meng'er could not hide her sarcasm: "Tsk tsk tsk, this Prince Chen has quite a temper. It is said that everyone here is his elder, yet he makes such a scene at the first birthday celebration..." Hearing this, those who had been hit by the objects felt even more depressed.
It's true that Baili Su is the heir of Prince Chen, and it's true that he's still young and doesn't know any better. But they came all this way to attend the banquet, only to end up in such a sorry state. Who could feel good about that? They couldn't blame Ouyang Su, but instead blamed Baili Chen and Ouyang Yue. Ouyang Su's outburst had inadvertently made some enemies for the two of them, and Sun Meng'er's words only added fuel to the fire.
These people are all very prestigious, and they usually pay the most attention to etiquette and image. Now, they are embarrassed to go out like this, and their good mood for attending the banquet has been completely ruined.
Just then, someone screamed. Baili Su, who had somehow managed to plop down on the abacus, was now laughing heartily and slapping the ground. Suddenly, with a swift movement, he slapped the ground with both hands, and the abacus beads began to move, carrying Baili Su's small body away with a "whoosh." He was heading straight for Sun Meng'er. However, Baili Su was small, and when he rushed over, he crashed into a wooden chair, which was sure to break!
"Su'er!" Even Ouyang Yue was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on her forehead. She rushed over quickly. Baili Su looked clever, but he was still just a child and his behavior was limited. If something really happened to him... Ouyang Yue felt a wave of regret just thinking about it.
"Hehehe!" Baili Su, completely unaware, laughed and charged towards Sun Meng'er. Sun Meng'er squinted, a cold glint flashing in her eyes. She slightly shifted her body, the corner of her chair hitting Baili Su just in time to bump into him. Judging by Gao Shi's position, she was about to hit Baili Su's eyes. Even if she didn't hit his eyes, the distance and speed would likely break his nose. Although she did all this silently, Sun Meng'er's face showed surprise and fear as she screamed, "Ah! Don't come any closer! It's dangerous!"
"Giggle giggle!" Baili Su clapped his hands excitedly and rushed towards her. Sun Meng'er was overjoyed. "Great! Great! Come on over here! Run straight into the corner of the chair! Make sure your head gets hit! Come on!"
"Giggle giggle"
"Smack!"
Suddenly, Baili Su fell down and slid off the abacus. He was so fast that even when Ouyang Yue rushed over, she barely managed to catch him in her arms.
Sun Meng'er, who was initially overjoyed, her eyes sparkling with barely concealed excitement, suddenly felt a surge of emotions. That damned thing had fallen again! He was just a few steps away, and he'd fallen! Damn it, how hateful! If he were to injure his eyes or be crippled here, he wouldn't be qualified to compete for the throne. It would be hard to say whether he'd even be able to inherit the Chen Prince's mansion in the future. And then, when Ouyang Yue gave birth to this child, it would be a real problem. Let's see how smug Ouyang Yue will be then! At this crucial moment, that damned little brat had fallen! How hateful! Just a little bit more, just a tiny bit more!
Sun Meng'er was so angry she almost cursed, but she managed to restrain herself. Her face flushed slightly, and a fleeting, ferocious expression was unmistakable, making her look somewhat terrifying. Sun Meng'er felt a tightness in her chest and stood up to catch her breath. However, as soon as she stood up, she felt something was wrong—her feet… her feet…
"Ah! What's going on? Why is my foot so slippery... Ah...!" As soon as Sun Meng'er stood up, she felt her foot suddenly slide forward, and then her whole body was out of control and rushed forward. Everyone was shocked when they saw this.
Just now, Baili Su was sitting on an abacus, gliding around the room. The abacus had just stopped right under Sun Meng'er's feet. When she stepped on it, her whole body flew into the air and glided out.
"Ah! Don't come any closer!" A young lady who was not far from Sun Meng'er immediately jumped back in fright. Sun Meng'er cried out, "Quick, quick, pull this concubine away!"
When faced with an emergency, even if someone knows they might not be in any real danger, seeing someone rushing towards you at high speed is still terrifying. The first instinct is often to protect oneself. Moreover, there aren't many people in this hall truly connected to Sun Meng'er. Even members of the Sun family are likely to dodge, let alone others who have already scattered. Chaos erupted in the hall. Sun Meng'er, her foot on the abacus, was pulled along, her heart pounding so hard it felt like it could shatter her ears. She was stunned and terrified, completely unsure how to save herself. She screamed in fear, waving her hands wildly. Perhaps it was this waving that saved her, as it caused the abacus to constantly change speed, preventing it from crashing directly into anything.
"Quick...Quick, save me..." Sun Meng'er was so scared that her face turned pale and her body twisted and turned. At this moment, she didn't know how to save herself. In fact, if she just put her back foot on the ground and rubbed it a couple of times, she could stop. But when people are scared, they don't think about these things. They are so scared that they are almost dead.
"Oh my God, help me!"
Clearly, fate did not hear Sun Meng'er's cries for help. Finally, with a loud "bang," Sun Meng'er's entire body slammed into the wooden pillar, making a loud noise. With the impact, the pillar and the entire hall seemed to tremble. Everyone's heart skipped a beat; that was a really hard impact.
"..." Sun Meng'er fell back to the ground with a "bang" again, her head instantly swelling up. Her mouth was wide open, and she was in so much pain that she couldn't speak. Everyone who saw this couldn't help but feel a tingling pain in their mouths. It must have hurt so much. They couldn't help but feel a tightness in their hearts. How much pain must that have caused? They didn't want to experience it even once.
The hall froze for a moment. Ouyang Yue and the others rushed over nervously to look at Sun Meng'er. Baili Zhi's face was dark. Sun Meng'er seemed to have come back to her senses from the pain. Just a moment ago, she felt as if her body was about to be shaken apart. After the pain subsided, she howled, "It hurts so much! Damn it, it hurts so much!"
Sun Meng'er's voice was very sharp, even a little harsh. As she started cursing, Baili Su suddenly burst into tears, clearly frightened by her. Ouyang Yue patted him to comfort him with heartache. Suddenly, a stream of water streaked through the air, and everyone stared wide-eyed with their mouths agape.
"Aaaaah, glug glug..." Everyone froze, watching as Sun Meng'er, writhing in pain, seemed to be in a daze, her mouth agape as she kept drinking... um... the very urine that the Prince Chen's son had urinated in fear... she drank the whole bucket...
The entire hall was deathly silent...
☆、254, An unusual object fell from the sky! Strange activity!
Baili Chen was just an infant and had no self-control. To prevent him from wetting his pants, he was naturally wearing open-crotch pants. So when Ouyang Yue was holding him, the angle just happened to be right, and he peed all over Sun Meng'er's mouth. Everyone looked at Sun Meng'er in surprise, their faces twitching.
No one would believe that Sun Meng'er hadn't had some really bad luck. The Crown Prince of Chen threw and smashed so many things during his first birthday celebration, and they were mostly just vegetable scraps and such. Although they had a slight smell, those who were initially resentful completely let go of their resentment seeing Sun Meng'er like this. If they had encountered that situation, they would have been incredibly frustrated. People are afraid of comparisons; comparing things in a positive way only makes you more depressed, while comparing things in a negative way naturally makes you let go of everything.
These people were somewhat relieved, and naturally no one cared whether Sun Meng'er looked like she was about to explode with anger.
Sun Meng'er was furious. She was filled with hatred. At first, she was just in pain and couldn't help but cry out a few times. She also wanted to take this opportunity to cause some trouble for the people in the Chen Prince's Mansion and to provoke them. Don't ask where Sun Meng'er got the courage. Not to mention that she was born into the Sun family and had confidence, she was not afraid of the Chen Prince's Mansion even though she was the favored concubine of Baili Zhi.
Sun Meng'er wasn't stupid. She could see that Baili Chen harbored a certain paternal affection for his elder brother. It was a trivial matter that shouldn't cause a rift between the two households. Besides, her status and position weren't that different from Ouyang Yue's. If Ouyang Yue were to become disrespectful because of a few words from her in front of everyone, that would be petty. How glorious is it to lose a verbal battle? Ouyang Yue wouldn't do that. Moreover, which household doesn't have its share of troubles? For example, in the Sheng Prince's mansion, even the concubine Ning Xishan dared to disrespect the principal wife, Leng Caidie. And the concubines in the Sheng Prince's mansion dared to openly and secretly undermine Ning Xishan, taking advantage of Baili Mao's favor. Of course, this is the legendary case of favoring the concubine over the wife. It's just that some households are more discreet about it, while others are more blatant, let alone someone of Sun Meng'er's status.
Besides, this was Baili Su's first birthday celebration, and as the host, no one would let the banquet fall apart at such a time. Sun Meng'er was indeed a bit overconfident, but who knew that such a big mistake would happen during Baili Su's first birthday celebration? No one would have thought that the child would have such destructive power. Sun Meng'er never expected that after being knocked to the ground, she would be greeted with a baptism of boy's urine.
"Glug." But what's even more tragic is that Sun Meng'er was so angry that she was trembling all over, and she was so angry that she had no strength left. She collapsed to the ground and was unable to get up. Meanwhile, Baili Su's urine kept pouring down on her, and she swallowed it all in her habitual throat.
After Baili Su finished watering, Sun Meng'er also drank every last drop. The eerie silence in the hall even stunned Ouyang Yue for a moment. She looked at Sun Meng'er, who lay on the ground, her face a mask of shame, anger, and rage, with a touch of pity. Ouyang Yue sighed inwardly, "When you're down on your luck, even drinking water can be a problem." Sun Meng'er was clearly that kind of person. Regardless of whether Baili Su had the ability, he was just an infant. He could torment Sun Meng'er, but to accomplish what had just happened so smoothly was impossible. So, while Baili Su's misfortune was partly intentional, her successful assistance was also partly due to Sun Meng'er's bad luck. Sun Meng'er's current state was truly pitiful...
"Second...Second Princess..." Sun Meng'er lay on the ground for a long time, unable to get up, her face constantly changing. The maid who had accompanied the Prince Zhi's mansion couldn't help but whisper cautiously.
The sound seemed to startle Sun Meng'er awake. She jumped up and slumped over the chair, gagging. She tried to vomit for a while but nothing came out, which only made her feel more nauseous. That damned brat had made her drink urine! She was filled with hatred and her stomach felt like it was turning inside out, but she couldn't vomit anything. Sun Meng'er angrily pounded her chest and stood up, shouting at Baili Su, "You...you dare to make me drink...drink..." The word "urine" was too painful for her to utter. She pointed at Baili Su as if she wanted to stab him a thousand times with her eyes.
Baili Su huddled together, trembling with fear, burrowing into Ouyang Yue's arms. His once lovely face was now filled with a pitiful expression, his large eyes still wet with tears from his earlier crying and wetting himself, making him look both adorable and pitiful, and heartbreaking. Seeing him like this, who could bear to scold him? Of course, this was only the sentiment of those who hadn't personally experienced Sun Meng'er's ordeal. If they had gone through the same ordeal, they probably wouldn't find Baili Su so endearing. But unfortunately, this ordeal was unique to Sun Meng'er, so they couldn't understand her. Instead, they felt some dissatisfaction and disapproval towards Sun Meng'er's sinister and menacing expression directed at an innocent child.
Princess Shuangxia frowned as she watched the farce unfold, remaining remarkably calm. Her granddaughter and grandson-in-law were adept at handling unexpected events.
"Quickly help Consort Wang down to wash and tidy herself up," Ouyang Yue blurted out, ordering Dong Xue.
"It's Your Highness, this way please, Consort Zhi." Dongxue immediately went over to invite her, but Sun Meng'er, still furious, ignored Dongxue and shoved her aside, roaring at Ouyang Yue, "You've gone too far! How dare you humiliate me like this! I won't let this go!" Sun Meng'er was enraged. Being publicly humiliated like that, drinking that kind of stuff, was an unbearable disgrace, the greatest humiliation she had ever experienced. She was practically going crazy with anger. The Prince Chen's residence even wanted to give her a change of clothes and take her away to tidy up—was that all? Did such a good thing even exist? It was a pipe dream!
Ouyang Yue frowned slightly and advised, "Consort Zhi should go and tidy up first. We can talk about other things later."
"Hmph! Don't you understand? I came to participate in the Prince Chen's first birthday celebration out of the love of my elders and out of good intentions, and yet I was humiliated in public like this. Is this how the Prince Chen's mansion treats its guests? Or was this all pre-arranged to deliberately embarrass this concubine?" Sun Meng'er had always been arrogant towards Ouyang Yue. In reality, Ouyang Yue's true status wasn't that noble. Although she was the granddaughter of Princess Shuangxia, she wasn't her biological daughter. The Emperor bestowed upon her the title of Princess Mingyue only because of Princess Shuangxia's influence. This title of princess was meaningless; it was just a title. Ouyang Yue grew up in the General's Mansion. The Ning family wasn't exactly farsighted; the Ning family had long been declining, and this generation had no promising successors. Compared to the three eldest sons of the Sun family, who were all young and promising, the Ning family was indeed inferior.
Moreover, Ning Shi was short-sighted and treated Ouyang Yue badly. How could her daughter compare to Sun Meng'er? Even if she is now the Princess Consort of Chen, Sun Meng'er still looks down on her. She understands the principle that what goes up must come down. Although the Chen Prince's Mansion looks glorious now, why did the Crown Prince present evidence related to the Chen Prince's Mansion instead of other princes? Ouyang Yue gave birth to Baili Su, but she will only end up being the first to be shot. In addition, Sun Meng'er has always been dissatisfied with Ouyang Yue, so naturally she has no respect for her.
Unfortunately, since the Prince Zhi's Mansion and the Prince Chen's Mansion had a close relationship, most people wouldn't care about such things. Of course, she could have been more cautious, but now that she had lost face, she would be too ashamed to face anyone if she didn't take this opportunity to get revenge. Since the Prince Chen's Mansion was in the wrong, how could she let it go?
Ouyang Yue squinted at Sun Meng'er. Sun Meng'er's clothes were disheveled from stepping on the abacus and then falling, and her face and collar were wet. Everyone here knew why they were wet. Her angry shout only made her disheveled appearance more noticeable.
To be honest, Sun Meng'er's hasty departure at this moment was truly for her own good. With a face washed with urine, although boy's urine doesn't have a strange smell, it's still unpleasant to hear and look at. However, Sun Meng'er was extremely angry, and she thought that whatever Ouyang Yue said was just an attempt to fool her. So how could she be dismissed so easily?
Ouyang Yue sighed softly and said gently, "Consort Sun, why don't you go and tidy yourself up first? You can talk to her when you get back."
“You… Princess Consort Chen is clearly trying to evade the issue.” Sun Meng’er’s eyes darted around as she considered how to use this opportunity to save face and gain some advantage.
Ouyang Yue chuckled softly: "Consort Sun, although the young prince has made mistakes, he is still just a child who doesn't understand things yet. He was wrong today, but if there is anything wrong with him, it can only be said that today's events were too coincidental, a coincidence that surprised everyone. Such things cannot be planned."
"Giggle, giggle." Baili Su was still laughing heartlessly. Not only that, he even reached out, looking like an obedient and adorable child wanting Sun Meng'er to hug him. It seemed that he had no idea what earth-shattering things he had just done. His innocent little expression was so convincing that if no one had seen it with their own eyes, it would have been hard to connect this cute child with the mischievous devil he had just been. It was a world of difference, a complete world of difference.
But a child this young doesn't understand anything. If you get angry with him, you're just asking for trouble. It would be a miracle if such a young child were sensible!
"You! You've gone too far!" Sun Meng'er gritted her teeth. She had made a fool of herself in front of so many people. Did she think she could just let it go with a few words? Besides, she was... she was so angry she was about to die!
Baili Zhi really didn't want to see Sun Meng'er making a scene anymore, so he said to the maid he had brought with him, "Quickly help the concubine to wash up and then find a doctor to take a look at her. The concubine was just frightened."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Sun Meng'er wanted to say something, but Baili Zhi was already staring at her with a blank expression, so she couldn't utter a word. Sun Meng'er was indeed a bit spoiled and arrogant, but no matter how much Baili Zhi doted on her, he was still the head of the household. If she embarrassed him at this time, it wouldn't do her any good. She could only grit her teeth and swallow her anger. However, as she was helped away by the maid, she couldn't help but glare fiercely at Ouyang Yue, as if to say that this matter wasn't over.
But in truth, Sun Meng'er was extremely agitated. Although she had suffered a great loss in this matter, and it was part of the Prince Chen's first birthday celebration, the responsibility for this loss undoubtedly lay with the Prince Chen's mansion. If it were either Baili Chen or Ouyang Yue, she was confident she could make them apologize, perhaps even kowtow in remorse. However, the culprit was an infant in swaddling clothes. How could she possibly pursue the matter? Ultimately, the only recourse was for Ouyang Yue to apologize on her behalf. But Sun Meng'er was unwilling to give up. Judging from Baili Zhi's demeanor, he didn't seem inclined to pursue the matter to the end. Was she really going to just slink away like this?
Sun Meng'er was led to a guest room in the backyard to change clothes. Ouyang Yue had several sets of clothes and jewelry prepared for Sun Meng'er to choose from. Looking at the snow-white silks and brocades, and the various exquisite ornaments, each one was of top-notch craftsmanship. These were casual clothes that Ouyang Yue had specially brought, without any rank or patterns, yet they made Sun Meng'er extremely uncomfortable. Although she knew in her heart that as a concubine she couldn't overstep the bounds and wear the Empress's attire, no one knew better than her how much she longed to claim the Empress's crown. Why was her womb so uncooperative? How hateful!
Sun Meng'er was furious and had someone prepare water for her to take a bath. Of course, before that, she had already vomited for a while while holding the Ruyi tub, which made her feel less nauseous. Then she took a shower, changed her clothes, and went to the hall.
Logically speaking, since this whole thing was caused by Baili Su, if she kept nagging, at most Baili Chen and Ouyang Yue would say things like "the child didn't know any better" on Baili Su's behalf. It wouldn't bother her at all. Even if it was just that Baili Su didn't know any better, the fact remained that she drank that stuff today. Regardless of whether it was done by a child or not, or whether it was intentional or not, she was the one who was embarrassed. How could she remain calm about that?
Sun Meng'er squinted her eyes and gritted her teeth in hatred. But at that moment, she suddenly felt a shadow flash by and disappear in the corner of her eye. Sun Meng'er was stunned and turned her head to look, but there was nothing there. She couldn't help but ask the maid beside her, "Did you see a shadow flash by just now?"
The two maids looked bewildered: "Your Highness, we didn't see anything."
"I didn't see anything either."
Sun Meng'er frowned. Could she have really seen wrong? But that shadow just now seemed so real... As she walked, Sun Meng'er pondered. Could there be some strange thing in the Chen Prince's mansion? Thinking about it, it could explain her sudden bad luck earlier. But as she thought about it, a chill ran down her spine: "Quick... quick, go to the main hall." There were so many people there; even if there were ghosts, they wouldn't dare to approach. But Sun Meng'er had no time to think about that. If ghosts really thought like her, then who was behind all those people in the main hall earlier? With such a large crowd, even ghosts wouldn't dare to come out. At this moment, she had no mind to think about such things.
After stepping into the hall, Sun Meng'er felt a little calmer, though she was still somewhat uneasy. She remained quiet and didn't mention the previous events. She heard many people in the hall congratulating Baili Chen and Ouyang Yue.
"The Crown Prince of Chen is truly blessed. He caught a chicken leg before, which means he'll be set for life. He's so lucky."
"That's right, nothing beats this."
"Yes, yes, when my eldest son was born, I wished he would pick a chicken leg. But alas, my eldest son is not as fortunate as the Crown Prince of Chen."
"..."
By the way, Baili Su grabbed a chicken leg first. Everyone thought he was probably hungry, which is why he wanted to eat it. But he didn't have teeth yet and couldn't chew it, so he got angry. They wondered if Prince Chen and Princess Chen deliberately starved their son so he could do the first birthday celebration. If so, it would be the fault of Prince Chen's mansion if Consort Sun made a fool of herself. But these people had doubts but dared not say them out loud. Anyway, it had nothing to do with them. Wouldn't it be stupid to step forward at this time?
Hearing these compliments and congratulations, Sun Meng'er felt even more anxious and restless. Many people secretly watched Sun Meng'er's expression, but were secretly laughing behind her back.
"Look at Consort Sun's dark face. She always thought she was a proud lady because she was from a noble family. Perhaps this is what it means to be a lady from a great noble family. She makes a fool of herself in a unique way. I don't want a lady from a noble family like this."
"Hehe, that's right. I think she and Princess Chen are incompatible according to their birth charts. She's always causing trouble for Princess Chen, but in the end, she's the one who suffers."
"This is reaping what you sow, reaping what you sow."
"Hehehe..."
Of course, as a concubine, these people didn't dare to openly mock Sun Meng'er. However, they would occasionally glance at her and then lower their heads to speak. Sun Meng'er wasn't stupid; how could she not see that they were clearly mocking her? She was immediately furious. Looking at Ouyang Yue, who was chatting and laughing with Princess Shuangxia, her hatred intensified. Did they think she, Sun Meng'er, was just going to let this go after she had been so humiliated? Did they think she was so easy to deal with?
Sun Meng'er's face was somewhat cold. She suddenly squinted at Baili Su, who was nestled in Ouyang Yue's arms. She saw that the child's bright black eyes were darting around, looking mischievous. Their eyes met. Sun Meng'er suddenly felt that she could read a trace of emotion in Baili Su's eyes: deserved, mockery, and disdain!
Sun Meng'er's body trembled, and she looked at Baili Su in disbelief. The child was grinning foolishly, occasionally blowing small bubbles from his mouth, looking extremely cute. It was nothing like what she had just seen. But how could she be wrong? How could such a young child have such an expression? Could it be that he was possessed by a spirit? Thinking of the black shadow she had seen earlier, Sun Meng'er slowly formed an idea. Looking at Baili Su, a cold light flashed in her eyes from time to time.
Suddenly, Baili Su felt a chill run down his spine. He turned his head and scanned the people in the hall with his big eyes. Although there were people here who were hostile to him, the intense resentment that wished him dead only came from Sun Meng'er. Hmph, it's that woman again. What an annoying thing.
Sun Meng'er felt Baili Su looking at her again, and her belief grew stronger. This child was indeed a bit strange. Sun Meng'er sneered. If they exited from here, Ouyang Yue would also be doomed. Possessed by a demon, her mother was a reincarnated fox spirit, born to bring disaster. Wasn't that a good thing? After all, her father died and her mother died in childbirth when she was born. One after another, people in the General's Mansion died. Now, the General's Mansion only had Ouyang Tong as a child. The number of people in the mansion was terrifyingly small. If they could be connected, whether it was a coincidence or fact, it didn't matter to her.
Great news! This is absolutely great news!
