Unlimited Resources: Raising a Minister with a Space Supermarket-Chapter 397 - 370: The Decision Is Made

Bi Yun protected the unconscious Xiao Fangfei and loudly said to the Li brothers, "Go back and report to the Prince that Concubine Xiao is already pregnant and cannot be killed!"

Li Meng glanced at his brother, and Li Lie placed the poisoned wine on a nearby redwood carved table and turned to report to Jun Yian.

Moments later, Jun Yian arrived with Dao Sheng the old monk.

Dao Sheng the old monk reached out to check Xiao Fangfei’s pulse and then turned to Jun Yian, saying, "Indeed pregnant, but..."

"Just say it without reservation!" Jun Yian noticed the old monk’s hesitation.

"It’s just that this child I’m afraid... I’m afraid might not survive."

Jun Yian instantly understood Dao Sheng’s implication. "You mean because of the Unity Gu?"

Dao Sheng the old monk nodded.

What a pity!

What a pity for this unborn child and also for this person Xiao, the Concubine. It seems Xiao Fangfei has been deceived, unknowingly planting the Unity Gu on both herself and the Prince.

Xiao Fangfei happened to slowly wake up and heard the conversation between Jun Yian and Dao Sheng the old monk. She got up excitedly and clung to Dao Sheng’s monk robes.

"Master, I beg of you, please save our child with the Prince."

She didn’t even know when she got pregnant. Xiao Fangfei now felt a mix of regret internally; she realized she was the one who destroyed her good days with her own hands.

Bi Yun also didn’t expect that her anxious words would ironically come true.

Xiao Fangfei completely forgot that she was already sentenced to death by Jun Yian. Her only focus was to save her and Jun Yian’s child.

Xiao Fangfei begged Dao Sheng the old monk bitterly.

Dao Sheng the old monk recited the Buddha’s name, glanced at Jun Yian, and sought his opinion.

Jun Yian looked at the tear-streaked Xiao Fangfei, feeling both conflicted and saddened internally.

He fell for Xiao Fangfei at first sight, even before finalizing the marriage with the Fu family. He loved Xiao Fangfei and placed her in a separate estate, planning to bring her to his mansion after marrying Fu Zihan.

Although he went against his promise not making Xiao Fangfei his primary wife, whatever Fu Zihan, his primary wife, had, Xiao Fangfei also had; even more so, Xiao Fangfei lived more comfortably in Prince Jin Mansion due to his favor.

If it weren’t for the Unity Gu matter, he thought he would continue to dote on Xiao Fangfei. But unexpectedly, just recently, because he visited Fu Zihan’s room a few more times, Xiao Fangfei actually resorted to planting the Unity Gu.

If he hadn’t been affected by a Gu Worm in his youth, understanding its subtle reactions in the body, he might really have blindly obeyed and favored Xiao Fangfei without suspicion, since his favor towards her was widely known.

Moreover, he had given her opportunities to explain, not just once, but she was unwilling to speak the truth.

"Since it can’t be preserved, let it be. On Yellow Springs Road, the mother and child can be companions!" Jun Yian harshly turned away and instructively said to Li Meng and Li Lie, "Send Concubine Xiao off."

Xiao Fangfei felt genuine fear at this moment. She previously claimed not to be afraid, thinking Jun Yian wouldn’t kill her. She knew Dao Sheng the old monk held weight in Jun Yian’s presence. Seeing Jun Yian turn his back, she begged Dao Sheng the old monk sorrowfully, "Master, please save me. I’ve realized my mistake. I didn’t mean to plant the Unity Gu on the Prince..."

Dao Sheng the old monk couldn’t bear such scenes, his heart softened. He patted Xiao Fangfei’s shoulder, comforting her with, "I will try my best!"

Dao Sheng the old monk called Jun Yian out into the courtyard, saying, "Although this child might be affected by the Unity Gu, it’s not completely hopeless. If the Prince could abandon his murderous intent, the humble monk would do his utmost to save this child."

Jun Yian shook his head, "No need, my decision is made!"

Although he married his primary wife late, it didn’t mean he lacked children. At sixteen, he already had two maidservants; at eighteen or nineteen, he added two honored concubines. Since then, the women in his mansion continued without pause. Nowadays, he has so many illegitimate sons and daughters he can’t even recognize them all. Although he liked Xiao Fangfei, she crossed his bottom line, hence she deserved to die.

Not only her, but also her maid and her family need to accompany his unborn child in death.

Dao Sheng the old monk wanted to save someone from the knife’s edge and refused to give up, continuing to persuade, "Prince, if Concubine Xiao knew she was pregnant, she absolutely wouldn’t neglect the child and rashly ingest the Unity Gu..."

"No need to say more, Master. She attempted to use the Unity Gu to manipulate me to obey her forever, hence just for this reason, she is despicably guilty deserving death. Moreover, it’s not that I didn’t give her a chance. She was sure I wouldn’t kill her, without seeing the coffin, one doesn’t shed tears."

He admitted that he might regret killing Xiao Fangfei, but to accomplish great things, one doesn’t bother with trifles.

Now he’d rather kill Xiao Fangfei with his own hands than have her later manipulated by others via Witchcraft. She was his weakness, and he couldn’t afford to have any weaknesses.

"Send Concubine Xiao off!" Jun Yian loudly instructed the Li brothers.

Li Meng and Li Lie took the white silk, mercilessly strangling Xiao Fangfei with it despite her struggles.

Jun Yian listened intently, as the screaming inside quieted down, then said, "During lifetime, Concubine Xiao was weak and unable to care for herself. Send some maids and elderly women down to serve her; choose her dowry people from her family."

"Yes!" Li Meng and Li Lie answered in unison.

"Amitabha!" Dao Sheng the old monk was somewhat uncertain whether saving Jun Yian was indeed the right decision; saving him alone and sacrificing many, in his eyes, all beings are equal, life has no distinction between noble and low.

Now Jun Yian committed murder, and Dao Sheng the old monk felt as though he was the knife sharpener for Jun Yian, feeling uneased.

Su Jingchen escorted Yu Xiaolian back to Xiangyang Lane. Mrs. Sun was eagerly waiting at the door, seeing Su Jingchen carrying Yu Xiaolian back, thinking something bad had happened to her, causing her to weaken in the knees, almost unable to stand, but Sun Mancang and Zhao Erya quickly supported her arms, one on each side.

"Lian’er, Lian’er..." Mrs. Sun thought Yu Xiaolian had died, and cried in sorrow.

Until Su Jingchen said, "She is sleeping!"

Mrs. Sun wiped her tears in confusion, rubbed her ears, and uncertainly asked, "Sleeping?"

Does she go to Prince Jin Mansion to sleep?

How could that be possible?

Su Jingchen carried Yu Xiaolian all the way into her room.

Mrs. Sun wisely dismissed the servants first, and then Su Jingchen recounted the events that happened at Prince Jin Mansion to Mrs. Sun in detail. Then he advised Mrs. Sun on how to respond if people from Prince Jin Mansion came asking her and Yu Changhe for questions, teaching her meticulously.

Mrs. Sun knew Yu Xiaolian barely escaped death this time, but was unsure whether besides the Prince, if others received that secret letter?

If others knew, Yu Xiaolian would for sure face endless troubles in the future, and others might not be as agreeable as the Prince. After all, Yu Xiaolian only saved the Prince’s life, not anyone else’s. Those in power might rather mistakenly kill than let go.
