Chapter 6: The Abandoned Wife, the Useless Nine Heavens Immortal, and the Tsundere Concubine, the Scorpionic Sister 2

No, was this still her sister's younger sister? If her sister tried to fight her for a man, she would definitely step up and give her two big slaps. The man hadn't been seen for eight hundred years; what was the use of fighting over an empty title?

As a modern, educated woman, she wouldn't bother competing with her for this non-existent husband. She had her adorable baby.

Since he was some kind of Prince, he must be wealthy. She didn't even know him; she wasn't going to be foolish enough to wait in some Prince's manor for that unreliable husband who had run away from home eight hundred years ago.

She'd leave it all to this hypocritical younger sister.

She certainly wouldn't stay in this Prince's manor for long.

Thinking of this, Cheng Xianxian felt a sense of relief in her heart, though her mind was racing through the ways people in TV dramas drove guests away. She herself was currently in a muddled state and had to nurse a baby, yet this "good sister" kept nagging and entangling her, talking on and on about their deep sisterly bond and trying to get her to say she would yield the position of Primary Consort.

In both her past and present lives, Cheng Xianxian hadn't had much life experience, but having watched many TV shows and novels, she understood that these two sisters certainly weren't close. No woman would ever want her man to be shared with another woman.

That was exactly why mistresses and side-consorts always wanted to be promoted to the official position.

"I am tired today. Let me think about this matter." Cheng Xianxian held the baby, her hand pressing against her forehead. The moment she lowered her head, she saw clearly that she was lying on the bed in disarray; Ru Yan had entered before she had even gotten out of bed.

Now she was "tired"... tired. What kind of excuse was that? Cheng Xianxian really wanted to bite her own tongue off.

The beauty on the chaise longue rose gracefully. "Since Sister is tired, Sister won't disturb you further. I will have the servants bring in food in a moment. Sister, you really are something; you've always been frail, you should know to take better care of yourself."

Her tone was filled with immense concern for Cheng Xianxian. Had she not said those words earlier, Cheng Xianxian might have actually believed they were close sisters.

"Then Sister, don't bother seeing me out." Cheng Xianxian really wanted to grab something and throw it. Usually, the most convenient thing to throw is whatever is within reach, and she was currently holding the little baby who was nuzzling against her chest. She couldn't exactly throw the child at her.

Ru Yan gave a faint, almost imperceptible huff. She had wanted the position of Primary Consort for a long time. Since Ru Hua had given birth to the Divine King's eldest son, it would be fundamentally impossible for her to obtain the title of Princess Consort legitimately.

The only way was to force this useless elder sister to yield the position herself; then, who would dare gossip? Furthermore, since there were now slight clues regarding that husband who had disappeared for eight hundred years, she certainly wouldn't tell Ru Hua.

They married into the Prince's manor on the same day. Why did the useless Ru Hua get Mo Xi's favor and bear the Prince's eldest son?

Suppressing the resentment in her heart, Ru Yan's face quickly returned to normal. She stepped out of Ru Hua's room and said to the maid outside the door, "Yuyue, go help the Princess Consort wash up, and have someone bring the meals directly inside in a moment. The Princess Consort is feeling unwell; serve her well."

"Yes, Side Consort, your servant obeys," another woman's voice sounded from outside the door.

The person guarding the door was certainly a maid of the Prince's manor, but hearing that maid obey the Side Consort so submissively, Cheng Xianxian had a bad feeling.

She couldn't quite say where this bad feeling was coming from. After all, she had just arrived and had no idea what the surrounding situation was like.

Based on her experience from watching TV, Cheng Xianxian knew that when a mistress fails to force her way to the top, she resorts to all sorts of other methods. It seemed she would have to be careful.
