They were in charge of being beautiful, and she was in charge of taking the hits.

Chapter 382 Turn over the brand

Fortunately, Wu Chengji's carriage was waiting for her. Now that her pregnancy was stable, she could go to court again.

"Fourth sister, this time I'm not on your side either. I'm afraid you're just looking at the prince from Beirong because he's handsome."

"Big sister, I'm doing this for the greater good, don't you understand me?"

"All I know is that you are a woman, and I understand that."

She was now somewhat afraid to return to the manor, after all, she simply couldn't handle that group of men.

He reluctantly returned to the gate of the mansion, only to find no one there except for the guards.

Logically speaking, Mo Baiyun would definitely have been there before, or Sima Lingchuan would have been there too, but today neither of them are here.

When I went inside, I found the mansion eerily quiet, and I even began to doubt whether I had returned to this mansion.

"Little Yun'er? Lingchuan?"

There was no movement.

When she encountered a servant cleaning nearby, she casually asked, "Where did the master and the others go?"

"Your Highness, they are all in the main hall, as if waiting for your return."

He felt that the corridor was exceptionally long. When he arrived at the front of the hall, Sima Lingchuan sat in the main seat, with Fang Yuerong and Han Yuxiu on either side, and then they moved in one after another.

Only Yelü Hanxuan was standing; although there was an empty seat next to him, he showed no intention of sitting down.

"Everyone? What's going on here?"

"The master is back. Can't you tell? He's teaching the newcomers how to recognize people."

Wu Ziyan thought they would engage in some kind of power struggle within the family, but it didn't seem to happen, and Yelü Hanxuan didn't show any resentment.

"So, how far have you gotten to this point?"

"I only got to know Mr. Huang at that point."

It turned out that these men were all recounting how they met Wu Ziyan.

Han Yuxiu was still making a fuss, but Sima Lingchuan lived up to his name, showing great tolerance and calming them down.

"You little guy, I didn't expect your stories with each of them to be so touching. You seem to be easy to take care of, and you're not so fragile."

To be honest, Wu Ziyan was sweating profusely at the sight of this scene, fearing that they would start fighting, but it was more harmonious than he had imagined.

"Oh, then you two continue chatting. I have some official business to attend to."

"Master, where will you be staying tonight?"

"I'm staying at my older sister's place."

She doesn't even dare to come back to live, because it's impossible to share all the favors equally, and besides, she has no official status or recognition.

night

She pulled up the favorability panel, and apart from Mo Baiyun, everyone else was at 99%! She was one step closer to survival.

Once they ascend the throne and are given a title, the game will be over!

But thinking about it this way, she felt a little reluctant, because she had genuinely invested her feelings in these people.

A few months later, Wu Chengji's daughter, Wu Ling, was born, and a grand banquet was held.

All eight of Wu Ziyan's men went, vying to hold the child, their eyes filled with doting affection.

"Ling'er, I am your Uncle Yu Xiu. She is so soft."

"Han Yuxiu, let me hug you too." Yelü Hanxuan also liked her; she looked even smaller and cuter.

Wow, babies are so small and soft! I wish Wu Ziyan could have one too.

"You foreigner, why should I let you hold me? You look like this, you're scaring our Ling'er!"

But when Wu Ling saw Yelü Hanxuan, he chuckled and kept waving, indicating that he liked him very much.

Han Yuxiu snorted and turned his back to him, refusing to let him see.

Wu Chengji is still quite weak, and his head is still wrapped in a headscarf.

But seeing how harmonious their large family was, she couldn't help but scrutinize Wu Ziyan: "Look how much they love children, aren't you planning to have one?"

"They like Ling'er, not children. It's all your misconception, sister."

"You are the Crown Princess, having an heir is more important than anything else."

"Big sister... please don't talk like that, I'm a little scared."

Waaah! Wu Ling burst into tears in Han Yuxiu's arms, and no amount of rocking could soothe her.

When Yelü Hanxuan hugged her, she stopped crying and started giggling again, even grabbing his hair to play.

Yelü Hanxuan rocked up and down rhythmically, humming a lullaby, and she looked at him with bright eyes.

At this moment, Yelü Hanxuan looked at Wu Ziyan, who smiled gently at him and then turned to Wu Chengji and said.

"It seems that Ling'er and I, her aunt, have similar tastes."

"You should have one soon too."

Having a child... What if she leaves this game? What if this world is real? What will happen to the child she leaves behind?

A few days later

It rained

None of them went out. Wu Ziyan returned early from court and saw them carving things in the courtyard.

She was a little curious about how they got along so well, so she went over to take a look and saw that they were carving signs with their names on them.

When she came back, everyone was busy with their own things. Let's not talk about those with official titles, but what about those without? Who does she choose?

"Master, everyone sees that you're alone at night, or you only go to your husband's place, so we made you a nameplate to play with!"

“They have no status or recognition with me.”

"You didn't know when you returned from court?"

"do not know!"

"Her Majesty the Empress bestowed eight bridal sedan chairs."

She really didn't know, mainly because she hadn't seen her mother, the Empress, for a long time, and wondered why no one had informed her.

Some of those who were destined to die young have all been given the title of concubines. Now they really can't escape it, and they can no longer run away at night!

"Then, what else did the imperial edict say?"

"There is no imperial decree, but the Empress also wants you to have a child as soon as possible."

In the evening, after washing up, Wu Ziyan flipped through the cards, one, two, three... eight!

The maid was drenched in sweat, surprised that they were going to go this far: "Your Highness? This?"

"No, I just wanted to see what it felt like to flip the cards. Okay, you can shuffle them and I'll flip them again."

"I'm not going to look anymore. I want to go to Yelü Hanxuan's place tonight."

"Is that Yelü Cefu? Then I'll go and inform him."

"Sigh, wait, wait, let's go with Xiaoyun'er, he's too jealous."

"Forget it, forget it, let's go with Chu Qiu. We agreed that he would be the second-in-command."

"Your Highness!"

"Can't we not do it tonight? I can't. My old injury is throbbing. Tell them my hand is injured and I have to go to the Crown Prince's residence tonight to comfort the children."

She packed her bedding and didn't even dare to go back to the main room.

Sima Lingchuan was very generous and magnanimous, constantly saying that her younger brothers were young, handsome, and needed her, and that she should treat them all equally.

She slept in the study that night when Xiao Yun'er knocked on the door: "Master, I'm coming in."

"Little Yun'er, didn't I already tell you I went to comfort the child?"

“Master, it’s not a solution for you to keep running away. If you really don’t like it, I’ll send them all to work at the Holy Martial Division.”

Wu Ziyan sat up from the couch. Xiao Yun'er was dressed in red, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

Then, one knock after another sounded at the door, and they were all wearing red clothes!
