Chapter 8: The Abandoned Wife, the Useless Nine Heavens Immortal, and the Tsundere Concubine, the Venomous Sister 4

It was impossible to tell how long the little thing had been eating, but after eating and drinking her fill, she sucked on her finger with satisfaction and fell into a sweet sleep in her mother's arms.

"Eat and then sleep, so fast? Are you a baby or a little piglet?" The sensation of fever on Cheng Xianxian's face was only just beginning to dissipate, yet seeing the adorable sleeping posture of the precious baby made her murmur softly. She couldn't help but lean down and press a gentle kiss onto the little thing's forehead.

The milk baby emitted a milky fragrance, a connection to her that could not be severed, as if flowing through her very blood.

This was her child, connected by blood. Although she came from another world and this child belonged to the biological child of this body, now that she had replaced her, what had happened to the original owner of this body?

There was no reason for a transmigration to happen without cause; in most cases, the person had died, and she had transmigrated to replace her.

Cheng Xianxian carefully recalled Ru Hua's expression while speaking in the room. If that person had spoken with a clear purpose, it wouldn't have been with such composure, but rather as an ultimatum. Those smiles, just like her previous feeling, were all fake.

It was an ultimatum, and also a test.

Cheng Xianxian felt an inexplicable surge of nervousness. Had those low-life tactics, the kind one only sees on television, actually succeeded, leading to her transmigration?

Cheng Xianxian cautiously placed Nan Feng into a small crib by the bedside. The sight of the adorable baby sleeping soundly caused all the worries in her heart to vanish. If this position of Primary Consort could not protect her life, then having no status in the Prince's Mansion would make the position of Primary Consort her death warrant.

"Princess, lunch is ready. Should I have it brought in now?" The voice speaking outside the door was unfamiliar; it wasn't Yu Yue. Cheng Xianxian wasn't hungry at all and originally wanted to refuse, but seeing how things were, she didn't know when the next meal would be. Her mind shifted, and she said, "Bring it in now."

"Yes, this servant obeys." After the unfamiliar maid finished speaking, there was no more sound outside the door. Cheng Xianxian had intended to take advantage of the milk baby's sleep to go for a walk, at least to get a sense of the situation in the Prince's Mansion.

Just as she reached the door, she heard hushed voices outside. Cheng Xianxian's footsteps paused; so there were people outside after all. What was going on?

"The Princess has been under house arrest for so long, it's truly pitiful." This was another unfamiliar voice.

"Shut up, if you want to die, I can't save you." This voice belonged to Yu Yue, and it sounded somewhat cold. The person who spoke first seemed very afraid of Yu Yue, saying timidly, "Sister Yu Yue, when the time comes, please say many good things about me in front of the Side Consort. I have also been doing my utmost to work for the Side Consort."

"What are you saying, Sister Leyin? You should watch your words; after all, this is still the Princess." Yu Yue fell silent.

Cheng Xianxian was stunned. Even a fool could guess what had happened to the real Ru Hua. A Princess who didn't even have freedom, possessing only the title of Primary Consort, could not change the fact that her life was not under her own control.

Poor girl, how could she have such a venomous, beautiful sister?

Cheng Xianxian crept back to the bed. Given the current state of house arrest, even meals had to be delivered to the room. With only a milk baby by her side, she had no one to ask if she wanted to find out what was happening.
