In order to eat, I signed a contract with the system

Chapter 412: Legend of Zhen Huan - Nian Shilan 16

After an unknown amount of time, Qi Yuebin finally controlled his palpitations and explained dryly, "The concubine was joking."

"Zigge knows whether I am joking or not."

"I think it should be the Empress Defei who asked you to befriend me and gain my trust. As for what you are going to do after gaining my trust?"

"Humph, I guess it's either to stop me from getting pregnant or to get an abortion!"

After the test just now, Nian Shilan already knew that Qi Yuebin had a purpose in coming to befriend her from the very beginning, and that taking the blame later was not out of ignorance or necessity, but was just an act in front of Yinzhen to gain guilt.

In that case, there is no need for me to save face for Qi Yuebin. It is unwise to have contact with him knowing that he is a venomous snake. But if I don't expose him directly, I think with Qi Yuebin's scheming, even if I ignore him, he will endure the humiliation and approach me, and maybe he will take the opportunity to throw dirty water on me.

"It's really disgusting. These people are clearly exchanging benefits, but they always want to destroy the bridge before they even cross the river, making it seem like we are begging them."

"I think Zigger is a smart guy. You probably didn't hear what I said today, right?"

Nian Shilan directed all her pressure on Qi Yuebin. Qi Yuebin looked into Nian Shilan's eyes and felt as if he was being pressed down by a mountain. He could not move at all, not even able to blink.

At this moment, Qi Yuebin couldn't say any more explanations. Seeing that Qi Yuebin was covered in cold sweat and looked like he was about to suffocate and faint, Nian Shilan withdrew his pressure and without waiting for Qi Yuebin to come back to his senses, he threw out another guess.

"Zigge just said you are the daughter of a military commander, right?"

"As the daughter of a military commander, Concubine De doesn't want my Nian family to give birth to a grandson. Can your Qi family do that?"

"I heard that Qi Gege was the prince's first woman, and she was favored by him for a long time. But now more than ten years have passed, and she has never been pregnant. I wonder if it is because Qi Gege has some hidden illness?"

Qi Yuebin's eyes widened when she heard this. It seemed that Qi Gege's blindness had finally been revealed. She sat in a daze. She knew what Nian Shilan had just said, and Song Zhi and the others who were serving her had not hidden it. The maids and the Jixiang brought by Qi Yuebin also heard it clearly.

Jixiang is the senior palace maid serving the future Concubine Duan, and is also Qi Yuebin's personal maid brought from the Qi family since childhood. She is naturally loyal to Qi Yuebin. Now that she knows that her young lady has not been pregnant for more than ten years, it is very likely that it was the work of Concubine De in the palace. Naturally, she can't help but feel sorry for Qi Yuebin.

After a long time, Qi Yuebin may have figured it out. She stood up and bowed to Nian Shilan solemnly, "Thank you, Concubine. I will look into this matter myself. If Concubine Nian has any instructions in the future, I am willing to be at your service."

Qi Yuebin admitted all his previous speculations and surrendered to me. It seems that he has realized that if he wants to get what he wants, he can only rely on me, the enemy of Concubine De.

"No need, as long as you don't disgust me again, I don't want to get involved in your affairs, and I hope you won't provoke me!"

Nian Shilan refused bluntly. Qi Yuebin was a person who put profit above all else. She was not worth making friends with. Whether accepting her surrender or forming an alliance with her, it would not be complete unless she used him completely.

Qi Yuebin didn't expect that she would be rejected so straightforwardly by Nian Shilan. She was unwilling to accept it for a moment, but when she saw Nian Shilan's eyes that seemed to see through all her thoughts, she had no choice but to leave.

Nian Shilan directly used her spiritual sense to restrict Qi Yuebin and Jixiang, telling them not to tell anyone what happened today. If they did, they would be in excruciating pain, and they couldn't do that even if they wrote it down.

Nian Shilan was very suspicious that in her previous life, when Qi Yuebin brought the bowl of abortion pills over, he had already guessed the truth about her infertility and made a deal with Concubine De, such as letting her give birth to a child.

Later, after Nian Shilan drank a bowl of safflower, the reason why Qi Yuebin became so sick was probably because she was pregnant at that time. A non-pregnant woman would not become so sick after drinking safflower. Only a pregnant woman who had an abortion with safflower and did not receive subsequent conditioning would lose her fertility.

Therefore, Nian Shilan believed that when Qi Yuebin calmed down and realized that even if she knew the truth about her infertility, she would not be able to successfully become pregnant and give birth to a child under Concubine De's tactics, Qi Yuebin would most likely take her own information directly to Concubine De to negotiate.

"Humph, Qi Yuebin, don't even think about it!"

Not long after, Baicao took out a family letter written by Nian Gengyao. In the letter, Nian Gengyao expressed his concern that Nian Shilan would not be able to cope alone in Prince Yong's mansion. It happened that a minor official under him had a daughter who was not very good-looking but smart. He asked Nian Shilan if he wanted to send her to be his helper.

"It seems that this person should be Cao Qinmo."

Naturally, Nian Shilan in this life does not need Cao Qinmo. In her previous life, Nian Shilan was not smart enough and needed someone to help her win favor, but even so, she still could not get any good words from Cao Qinmo.

In this life, Nian Shilan did not want favor at all. Having one more Cao Qinmo would only be one more follower. It would only make Yinzhen believe that the Nian family was too ambitious and would start forming cliques for personal gain and want to control the palace. How could he like this arrangement?

If Cao Qinmo had a broader vision or was more obedient, Nian Shilan would have thought about training her to be a future female official. But as soon as she thought of Cao Qinmo's vicious schemes and her disregard for human lives, she decided to give up.

"Baicao wrote back to my second brother and rejected the matter."

I think Cao Qinmo doesn't need to enter the palace in this life. With her intelligence and talent, she should be able to live a good life. The women in the palace are too outstanding, which makes Cao Qinmo look speechless. But if Cao Qinmo is really that ugly, she would never be chosen by Nian Gengyao.

I hope that in this life, Cao Qinmo will no longer have to worry about her own child being taken away by others.

After the matter of Cao Qinmo was resolved, life in Prince Yong's mansion gradually became peaceful. Seeing Qi Yuebin looking at her with an increasingly frightened expression when she came to pay her respects, Nian Shilan knew that she was indeed planning to tell Concubine De about her secret. The reason why she was so afraid of her now was probably because she found that she could not tell or write down what happened that day no matter what.

"Is Zigger sick? Why does he look so bad?"

Nian Shilan deliberately smiled at Qi Yuebin, almost scaring Qi Yuebin to faint. Feng Gege, who served under her, saw it and thought Qi Yuebin was sick.

"I'm fine."

"Fujin, please ask the palace doctor to check on Qi Gege. Don't let her get really sick and then say that Fujin can't tolerate a concubine."

Nian Shilan said this deliberately to make Qi Yuebin suspect that he had bribed the court doctor to silence him. Since he was the one who had the bad intention first, he shouldn't be afraid of the consequences!
