Quick Transmigration Hoarding: My Selfishness Leads to a Killing Frenzy

Chapter 381 Cannon Fodder Bastard Sister 7

The four people gathered in the East Palace.

We looked at each other, and the atmosphere became extremely awkward.

The Crown Prince, his face grim, looked at Baili Xuance: "General Baili, what brings you here today?"

Baili Xuance glanced at Su Wunian casually and replied, "Your Highness, things have already escalated to this point. I wonder what you plan to do about the child in the concubine's womb?"

The Crown Prince snorted coldly: "Hmph, what else can we do? Of course, we'll abort it. How could I allow something like this, which contaminates the royal bloodline, to happen?"

His gaze swept over Su Wunian and Su Wanrou's bellies. He didn't know whose child it was, but he would never keep it.

"Your Highness, I understand your meaning. I have a suggestion."

"what?"

Baili Xuance said solemnly, "This matter has already caused a great uproar in the city. If we rashly abort the child, it will inevitably cause more trouble."

“I understand the Crown Prince’s concerns. Why don’t you let the concubine give birth to the child, and then I can take the child back to the General’s Mansion and raise both children under my care?”

"Whether they are mine or not, I am willing to raise them with care."

"You insolent fool!" The crown prince slammed his fist on the table, rising in a rage.

What nonsense is Baili Xuance spouting? What does he mean by raising both children under his own care? Isn't this just slapping him in the face?

If the child is his, what does it mean to raise him under Baili Xuance's care?

If it wasn't his, then it couldn't be kept. His concubine had given birth to someone else's child; how could the world laugh at him for that?

"Baili Xuance, I'm giving you some face, so don't be ungrateful. It's not your place to make decisions in my backyard."

"As for your concubine's child, whether or not it is born is your business and has nothing to do with me."

The Crown Prince's words were truly cold-hearted. If Su Wunian hadn't known about his relationship with Su Wanrou beforehand, she would have doubted the truth of his words.

Su Wanrou's gaze toward the Crown Prince was filled with resentment.

Although she didn't know whose child it was, there was a fifty percent chance it was the crown prince's. How could he be so heartless?

She couldn't help but speak up: "Crown Prince, how can you say that? My child is definitely yours. Have you forgotten the affection between us?"

"Hmph, Miss Su, don't talk nonsense. You are now General Baili's concubine. What affection did we have before? I hope you will watch your words."

The Crown Prince naturally could not admit to his relationship with Su Wanrou.

In this way, if Su Wunian feels that he has already colluded with her half-sister and is therefore unwilling to be his helper, then it would be a loss for her.

Secondly, it offended Baili Xuance. Who could tolerate their concubine having an affair with someone else?

The Crown Prince's position in the court is not secure at present, and many people want to bring him down. He doesn't want to make enemies at this time.

"Brother Prince..."

"General Baili, keep a close eye on your concubine."

Su Wanrou wanted to say something, but the Crown Prince interrupted her, saying that nothing was more important than his position.

Baili Xuance was not angry, but said calmly, "Your Highness, there is no need to be angry. I have come here today only to talk about the child."

"I know what Your Highness is thinking. How about this: Your Highness, let your concubine give birth to your child, and I will also let my own concubine give birth safely. Moreover, I will fully support Your Highness's ascension to the throne. What do you think, Your Highness?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was surprised. Su Wunian hadn't expected Baili Xuance to propose such an exchange.

The crown prince was also somewhat stunned.

The temptation to fully support his rise to power was immense for him.

It's important to understand that Baili Xuance holds military power, and he has never bothered to participate in the struggle for the throne. Yet, for the sake of his child, he has gone to such lengths.

The crown prince fell into deep thought, weighing the pros and cons.

After a while, the Crown Prince slowly spoke: "General Baili, are you serious?"

Baili Xuance cupped his hands and said, "Of course it is true. I guarantee it with the honor of the General's Mansion."

The crown prince's eyes flickered, but he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I agree. But if you go back on your word in the future, don't blame me for turning against you without mercy."

Baili Xuance smiled slightly, "Your Highness, rest assured, I will not break my promise."

The two hit it off immediately, without asking the opinions of the two women beside them.

"Wait, I disagree."

At this moment, a sudden voice rang out; it was Su Wunian, who had remained silent until now.

Her expression was neither sad nor happy, but the look she gave Baili Xuance held a complexity that others couldn't decipher.

"General Baili, on what grounds do you use my child to make a deal between you and the Crown Prince?"

Baili Xuance's face showed a hint of confusion.

He was clearly doing it for her own good, to protect her child, and to prevent her from getting hurt.

Her reaction was different from what he had imagined.

The crown prince was immediately displeased when he heard that she still had objections.

"Consort, don't talk nonsense. This is a matter between me and General Baili. You are just a woman, so don't say anything more."

Su Wunian sneered, his gaze sweeping across the faces of the crowd.

"Ha, you're using my belly as a bargaining chip, and you won't even let me speak? I never said I wanted to give birth to this child."

"What do you mean?" the crown prince pressed.

Su Wunian looked at the Crown Prince and said, word by word, "I want to abort this child. To me, this child is nothing but trouble."

Yes, she didn't want either of the two men, so why should she want this child?

She wanted nothing more to do with them, and she didn't want to have any children with any of them.

The Crown Prince's face instantly darkened. "Consort, don't be willful. This is not something you can decide."

Su Wunian remained unmoved. "Your Highness, although I am your concubine, when it comes to having children, if I don't want to, no one can stop me."

Baili Xuance frowned. "Consort Su, I've heard that abortion is harmful to the body. Why are you so stubborn? I'm doing this for your own good."

Ha, for her own good?

Does abortion harm the body, but childbirth doesn't?

She couldn't understand whether Baili Xuance was truly ignorant or pretending not to.

Based on the timeline, he hadn't changed his mind at this point, and he truly loved her.

But his love came too quickly and went too quickly.

If he truly loved her, how could he have stood by and watched her marry someone else in their first life?

Since he had the ability to rebel, he must have had a way to prevent the crown prince from marrying her, but he did not do so.

His love, in fact, doesn't stand up to scrutiny.

Even if he helped her get revenge, even if he helped her get a second chance at life, she had already repaid her debts in her previous life, so she didn't owe him anything anymore.

Su Wunian looked at him with a firm gaze, "General Baili, this is my matter and has nothing to do with you. Please do not interfere."

She truly could not tolerate the arrogant Baili Xuance, who not only made her give birth to her enemy's child again, but also wanted to help her enemy rise to power.

Is this love for her?

That kind of love is just too disgusting.

Baili Xuance stared at her intently. He saw Su Wunian's persistence, and he decided to respect her decision.

"Very well, since Consort Su has made her decision, I will not insist any further."

He then looked at the Crown Prince and said, “Your Highness, please pretend that I was never here today. I hope Your Highness will not take offense and will not make things difficult for the concubine.”

After saying this, Baili Xuance cupped his hands to the two of them and left with Su Wanrou, who kept turning back to look at him.

"Brother Crown Prince..."

The Crown Prince didn't even glance at her, his anger turning into a cruel laugh. "Fine, very well indeed. Su Wunian, do you even know what you're doing?"

"Because of the matter concerning you two sisters, I have greatly displeased my father, and my position as crown prince is in jeopardy. Do you know how important General Baili's support is to me?"

Su Wunian, however, did not care at all. "Your Highness, I am just a woman. Court intrigues are none of my concern."

"Snapped."

The prince slapped her across the face.

"You wretched woman, you are now my concubine. If I, the Crown Prince, am not having a good time, do you think you will be any better off?"

"Someone, take the concubine back to her own courtyard and have someone keep a close eye on her. Make sure to protect the child in her womb."

The more Su Wunian didn't want to keep the child, the more he wanted her to give birth to it.

Of course, most importantly, he felt that Baili Xuance treated Su Wunian differently.

Then he'll use this woman and the child in her belly to control him even more, hmph.
