Chapter 883 - 881: The Transmigrator Woman Bound to the Good Pregnancy System 25

"This is your Aunt Yun," Liu Hehua said, "She’s already pregnant, and soon you’ll have a little brother."

Cui Ying remained silent, not because she wasn’t angry, but because she had been angry and knew nothing could change. Besides, her daughter was back, and she had nothing more to ask for.

Ah Chen paid no attention to Aunt Yun, whose belly had already shown a bit, and pulled Cui Ying to head back to her room.

Liu Hehua looked furious, "You brat, how can you be so rude?"

"Do you believe that with a single word, I can have the Seventh Prince send you all back to Mei County? You can try," Ah Chen said, silencing Liu Hehua. It was truly possible.

Despite her frustration, Liu Hehua dared not speak further, having no choice but to watch as Ah Chen led Cui Ying away.

Inside the room, Cui Ying was silent for a while before speaking, "Xiao Chen, your mother is fine, don’t worry."

"Qin Shanlin doesn’t care about you anymore, do you want a divorce? I have the ability to let you live peacefully," Ah Chen said.

Cui Ying’s eyes flickered, then she shook her head, "No need to make a fuss."

"Mother, if you’re worried about causing trouble for me, a divorce would actually be better," Ah Chen said, "This way, I can protect you. You’re too entangled with the Qin Family, which is more of a trouble for me."

Of course, just a little trouble.

If she couldn’t even protect Cui Ying, what was the point of her mission?

Since the mission included someone like Cui Ying, she would certainly ensure she lived well. She might be meek, but better than many people, and for Ah Chen, it was only a small task.

Cui Ying was bewildered, not understanding why.

"Just do whatever you feel is right, Mother; it’s not necessary to get a divorce, just agree if you want, or don’t if you don’t," Ah Chen added.

Cui Ying, for now, didn’t want a divorce, not wanting to cause trouble for Ah Chen and lacking a support system.

She might not think there’s anything good about following Qin Shanlin, just that she thought she had no choice.

Ah Chen provided everything, so Cui Ying wouldn’t need to worry so much anymore.

Seeing how serious Ah Chen seemed, Cui Ying didn’t immediately voice any refusal, sitting in thought.

After an unknown amount of time, Cui Ying tentatively asked, "Xiao Chen, will this really not cause you any trouble?"

There was a hint of expectation in Cui Ying’s eyes.

Seeing this, Ah Chen knew she was settled; with conditions met, Cui Ying was still willing to choose a different life.

"But where will I live in the future?" Cui Ying asked again, "And what about the Seventh Prince..."

Though she didn’t know what was going on between her daughter and the Seventh Prince, she sensed it wasn’t simple.

He was a prince, could her daughter, no matter how smart, really contend with a prince?

"Mother, you just need to trust me. Want to give it a try?"

"As for the Seventh Prince, he’s busy now and doesn’t have time to meddle in these trivial matters; he won’t do anything to me, after all, I am his lifesaver." Ah Chen smiled. "Mother, there’s no need to force anything; just follow your heart. Even if you don’t get a divorce, it’s fine. I just want to say in advance, the Qin Family won’t prosper for long. I won’t concern myself with their future, I’ll only look after you."

Cui Ying took a deep breath, letting out a bitter laugh, "I know what kind of people they are. Since arriving in Capital City, even their last regard for your father was gone."

Back when she gave birth to her daughter, her body was damaged, unable to conceive again, and her mother-in-law was very displeased.

Did Qin Shanlin not want a son? He wanted one; she had always known.

But her mother-in-law was inherently biased, and with the family supporting their scholar, wasn’t it better for Qin Shanlin not to have a son? He could then toil away endlessly like an old ox.

If not for her daughter’s cleverness and competence, she might have been married off by her mother-in-law and subsequently lived the same life she was living.

Just thinking about it made Cui Ying feel pained.

It’s not that she didn’t want a divorce; if there was a way, she really wouldn’t want to live with Qin Shanlin anymore.

The in-laws were bad, but her own family was no better, with no way out from either side.

Now, hearing her daughter say she could choose, she wanted to give it a try.

Ah Chen stayed temporarily at the Qin Family home, not leaving yet.

Xiao Qing was guarding outside, not asking much. The Crown Prince seemed to have important matters recently, not paying attention to Qin Chen. He instructed him that as long as Qin Chen didn’t run off or cause trouble, he could do as he pleased, so he patiently waited.

Until dusk, when the Qin Family returned.

Upon seeing Ah Chen there, they were a bit surprised and then smiled, looking at Ah Chen eagerly.

They knew their current situation was all thanks to Qin Chen saving the Seventh Prince’s life.

In their eyes, Qin Chen was already one of the Seventh Prince’s people; compared to a nobody, being close to the Seventh Prince was clearly better.

Only Qin Shan showed a hint of jealousy in her eyes, wondering how Qin Chen had saved the Seventh Prince, wishing it had been her.

But for now, she still needed Qin Chen to have a chance of getting noticed by the Seventh Prince.

"Sister Chen, you’re finally back. The Seventh Prince said you disappeared unexpectedly, we were worried sick," Qin Shan approached warmly, attempting to take Ah Chen’s hand, which Ah Chen avoided.

Just as Qin Shan was about to speak further, Cui Ying, who had been waiting, spoke up, "Qin Shanlin, I want a divorce."

As the words fell, the room fell silent.

Even Yun Feng’er, who had been cozying up to Qin Shanlin, was surprised, looking at Cui Ying in disbelief. A divorce? What was Cui Ying thinking?

No matter what Cui Ying was thinking, Yun Feng’er felt a bit hopeful.

If Cui Ying divorced, wouldn’t that mean she could become the first wife?

If it were those families with deep roots, she might not harbor such thoughts, but the Qin Family were originally nobodies, a matter easily swayed by a few words. Especially Qin Shanlin, whom she had long ago figured out through observation.

Qin Shanlin was somewhat angry, "Cui, what did you say?"

"Qin Shanlin, let’s divorce. You’ve taken a concubine, and you seem quite satisfied with her. She’s even pregnant, so soon, you’ll have a son. Once we divorce, you can legitimate Yun Feng’er, and then her child would be your legitimate heir. Isn’t that better?" Cui Ying said.

Qin Shanlin was very angry and rushed over to hit Cui Ying.

Ah Chen stepped in front of Cui Ying first, "Since Mother wants a divorce, just agree to it. After all, you’ve already taken Aunt Yun. If you don’t agree, I’ll have the Seventh Prince send you all back to Meihua Village."

One sentence silenced the Qin Family, even Liu Hehua, who had been about to curse, swallowed her words.

With Ah Chen’s help, Cui Ying smoothly divorced Qin Shanlin.

"Cui, don’t regret this!" Qin Shanlin stood by the door, watching as Cui Ying boarded the carriage Ah Chen had arranged.

"Xiao Chen, where are we going now?" Cui Ying asked, still a bit uneasy.

Ah Chen said, "Where does Mother want to go? What do you want to do in the future? If you haven’t thought about it yet, stay at my house first; you can decide slowly. There’s no rush. Whether you live like this in the future or want to find another marriage, it’s all fine."

Xiao Qing, listening outside, was a bit puzzled until he heard Ah Chen instruct the carriage to turn a corner.

He was surprised; they were not heading towards the residence arranged by the Crown Prince.

But he didn’t ask further, telling the driver to follow Ah Chen’s instructions.

Shortly after, they arrived at a quiet residence, and Xiao Qing was still internally questioning.

What surprised him more was the number of guards present, and they all seemed quite skilled; this couldn’t help but make one cautious.

As Ah Chen helped Cui Ying out of the carriage, she noticed the contemplation in Xiao Qing’s eyes.

"Miss Qin," the gatekeeper hurriedly greeted them respectfully upon seeing Ah Chen, apparently recognizing Cui Ying as well and greeting her too, "Madam Cui."

"My mother will be living here from now on," Ah Chen said. "Please ensure her safety."

Ah Chen led Cui Ying inside, while Xiao Qing was stopped outside.

He thought for a moment and instructed someone nearby to report the news.

Since Ah Chen suggested Cui Ying get a divorce, she must have planned everything out.

Besides, the Seventh Prince would never reach that position in this lifetime, so she certainly had to arrange things properly.

When she last returned to Capital City, it wasn’t for nothing; she happened to collaborate with a certain sickly Crown Prince who appeared to not have much time left.

Those dealings were conducted late at night; she didn’t want to be exposed, so Pei Hui and the others wouldn’t notice.

Now that she had arranged everything, there was no need to deal with Pei Hui and the others any longer, just waiting to watch the show unfold.
