Chapter 19
“You wretched servant!”
Upon seeing this, Jiang Ruyun couldn’t help but lunge at Xiang Er, but she was restrained by Jiang Sijin.
“Grandmother.”
Jiang Peihuan didn’t open the letter, but instead handed it directly to the old madam.
“Heh…Hehe…Jiang Ruyun, do you have any shame left?”
Seeing the contents of the letter, the old madam scolded Jiang Ruyun with anger in her eyes.
At that moment, Jiang Ruyun lifted her head defiantly and shouted, “Grandmother, regardless of what you say, Brother Zhao already knows about my pregnancy. Since he knows, the Huainan King and the Queen must know as well. Surely, you don’t want to be at odds with the Huainan Mansion.”
“Since things have come this far, you might as well accept it. Both families can still find happiness.”
“Shut up!”
The old madam was so angry that she could not say a word. Jiang Peihuan stepped forward and slapped Jiang Ruyun across the face.
Jiang Ruyun was dazed by the slap, her hand covering her face. After a few seconds, she lunged at Jiang Peihuan,” What right do you have to hit me? ”
” Why? Because I’m the eldest daughter of the Jiang family. I have the right to discipline you, a Jiang family girl who has broken the family rules.”
“Do you truly believe the Prince of Huainan wants to marry you?”
Jiang Peihuan suddenly spoke, catching Jiang Ruyun off guard. She even forgot the pain on her face. Looking at the person before her, a terrible feeling welled up in her heart. “What do you mean by that?””
“Jiang Peihuan, Brother Zhao and I genuinely love each other. Stop trying to drive a wedge between us…”
“Fool!”
Without waiting for Jiang Ruyun to finish, Jiang Peihuan coldly interrupted her, “You think Zhao Fuqing hurriedly impregnated you to marry you sooner? Then do you know that the Zhao family already had a child long ago, and it was a boy? The Zhao family rushed to marry you so that you would have no way to back out once you found out the truth.”
“Why are you rushing to be someone’s stepmother so badly?”
“You… you’re spouting nonsense!”
Jiang Ruyun stared at Jiang Peihuan and shouted hoarsely.
Seeing Jiang Ruyun’s unyielding state, Jiang Peihuan’s eyes turned cold.
“Huan Er, is what you said true?”
At this point, the old madam couldn’t help but intervene. Liu Xiu and Sijin’s gazes also fell on Jiang Peihuan.
She had learned about this matter in her past life. Initially, she didn’t plan to reveal it so soon, but seeing Jiang Ruyun’s predicament, she had no choice but to speak.
Upon hearing the old madam’s words, she nodded. “It’s true, Grandmother.”
“No, it can’t be. You’re lying, Jiang Peihuan, you must be lying!”
Jiang Ruyun appeared to lose her mind. Jiang Peihuan looked at her and said, word by word, “If that’s the case, I’ll let you see the truth for yourself.”
Hearing this, Jiang Ruyun was left dumbstruck.
“The Zhao family has gone too far!”
Sijin clenched the whip in her hand, her eyes filled with anger.
“Grandmother, let Huan Er handle this matter.”
Jiang Peihuan approached the old madam and held her hand firmly. The old madam patted her head, nodding. “Alright, I entrust this matter to you. Don’t be afraid. Your grandmother will always be here for you.”
“Huan Er knows.”
“Third Aunt, please take care of Grandmother.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely take good care of Mother.”
“Sijin, guard the house.”
“Yes, Elder Sister.”
Once everything at home was settled, Jiang Peihuan took Jiang Ruyun out.
Sitting in the carriage, Jiang Ruyun felt dazed and disoriented. The carriage seemed to be traveling to a more remote area, prompting her to glare at Jiang Peihuan and demand, “Where are you taking me?”
“You will know soon enough.”
With that, Jiang Peihuan closed her eyes.
Half an hour later, Granny Xu’s voice came from outside, “Eldest Miss, we’ve arrived.”
“Mhm.”
Hearing the voice, Jiang Peihuan opened her eyes. After Nanny Xu lifted the curtain, she stepped out of the carriage. Seeing that Jiang Ruyun was still seated, she asked, “Aren’t you coming down?”
Jiang Ruyun felt a mix of confusion and panic, but she got off the carriage at Jiang Peihuan’s prompt.
Before them was a quiet, serene courtyard.
Following Jiang Peihuan’s signal, Nanny Xu went forward and knocked on the door.
“Who is it?”
A delicate voice came from inside. Hearing it, Jiang Ruyun clenched her fists.
“Mother, is father here?”
Next, a child’s voice reached their ears. As they approached, the door opened.
The woman who opened the door had a delicate appearance. When she saw Jiang Ruyun, her expression changed instantly. She tried to close the door, but Jiang Peihuan stopped her.
“Lan Zhi, it’s been a long time.”
Lan Zhi, Zhao Fuqing’s nanny’s daughter, had served Zhao Fuqing since childhood.
Both Jiang Peihuan and Jiang Ruyun recognized her.
“Eldest Miss, Second…Second Miss?”
“Mother, who are these people?”
A child ran forward and hugged Lan Zhi tightly. Upon seeing the boy, Jiang Ruyun almost stumbled. The child bore a striking resemblance to Zhao Fuqing, making it apparent whose son he was.
“Cant handle the truth?”
Instead of mocking Jiang Ruyun, Jiang Peihuan spoke indifferently.
Knowing the answer already, Jiang Ruyun still couldn’t help but ask, “Whose son is he?”
“Second Miss?”
Lan Zhi had no idea how the Jiang family found this place. She didn’t dare to speak and could only look at Jiang Ruyun with panic, but there was a bit of pride in her eyes from time to time.
So what if she was the young lady of the General’s Mansion? She had given birth to the eldest son for Zhao Fuqing.
“Speak, whose child is this?”
Jiang Ruyun walked forward and kicked Lan Zhi.
Seeing Jiang Ruyun’s actions, the child was scared to tears and clung to Lan Zhi saying, “You’re not allowed to bully my mother, you bad woman!”
Jiang Ruyun was furious. ” You little bastard, get lost! ”
As she spoke, Jiang Ruyun tried to pull the child away, but Lan Zhi pushed her back. “Second Miss, if you want to punish me, I have no complaints. But the young master is the son of the prince. When you enter the Huainan Mansion, he will have to call you mother. How can you scold him? ”
“Nanny Xu.”
Jiang Peihuan saw this scene and gave Lan Zhi a cold glance. Catching her meaning, Nanny Xu stepped forward and slapped Lan Zhi twice.
“Second Miss is the future princess consort. How dare a lowly servant like you fight with her?”
“A lowly servant, even if she gave birth to the little master, remains of lowly status. How dare you encourage him to call you mother?”
Nanny Xu’s two slaps were ruthless, and Lan Zhi’s face swelled up instantly.
Seeing this, Jiang Ruyun’s eyes flashed with surprise, but she quickly showed a proud expression.
” Don’t worry, I’ll definitely take good care of this child for you in the future. ”
