Jiang Sijin immediately let out a painful scream.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Nanye’s mouth twitched.
After whipping herself, Jiang Sijin sobered up from her drunkenness.
Jiang Peihuan sent for the doctor, which also alarmed Xue Yan.
Upon seeing Xue Yan, Jiang Changbai immediately went to complain, “Mother, this time it’s not my fault. It was King Cheng, he allowed Sijin to drink.”
Hearing Jiang Changbai’s words, Xiao Nanye glanced at him before turning to Xue Yan and saying, “Mother, 1 am to blame for this. I let her…”
“It’s not your fault. 1 know her temperament better than you do,” Xue Yan interrupted him dismissively.
Jiang Changbai, seeing this, expressed his frustration. “Mother, how can you favor him so? When Sijin got drunk before, you didn’t speak to me like this.” “Silence!” Xue Yan scolded her son coldly. However, when she turned to Xiao Nanye, her face showed its usual warmth. “Your Highness, you and Huan Er should return to the Plum Garden and rest. Leave this matter to us.”
However, when she turned to Xiao Nanye, Xue Yan’s face showed her usual gentleness.” Your Highness, you and Huan ‘er should go back to the plum garden to rest. You don’t have to worry about the matters here.””
“Yes.”
Nodding to Xue Yan, Xiao Nanye left with Jiang Peihuan.
Three days later, the entire general’s mansion was festively decorated because it was the 6oth birthday of the Old Madam Jiang.
In the Chrysanthemum Hall.
Jiang Peihuan presented Old Madam Jiang with a forehead cloth, then softly said, “Grandmother, 1 wish you healthy and prosperity.”
Holding the cloth, Old Madam Jiang smiled warmly. “Now that you are pregnant, avoid needlework so as not to strain your eyes. Just being by my side is the best gift you can give me.”
“Grandmother, wait until you see the gift I’ve prepared. You’ll surely love it.”
After Jiang Ruyun presented her gift, Jiang Sijin eagerly presented hers.
Hearing her voice, the old madam opened the box immediately. She laughed upon seeing its contents, “You cheeky monkey, are you trying to treat your grandmother like a child?”
“Look at this!” urged the old madam, prompting everyone to peer inside the box. It contained a variety of amusing clay figures.
Though they weren’t of great value, they were delightful.
“Making grandmother happy is the most filial thing 1 can do,” Jiang Sijin said.
“You all are wonderful. I love each gift,” the old madam replied.
“Old Madam, the Princess Qing has arrived.”
As the Jiang family laughed and chatted with the old madam, an elderly maid, Nanny Xu, suddenly approached.
Hearing Nanny Xu’s words, the smiles on everyone’s faces faded.
“Why is she here? We didn’t send an invitation to the Qing Mansion.”
“Old Madam, 1 came uninvited. Please forgive me.”
As Jiang Sijin finished her sentence, Jiang Yan’s voice came from the door. Supported by a maidservant, she entered the Chrysanthemum Hall.
Other than Jiang Peihuan, everyone stood up and bowed to Jiang Yan.
“It is an honor for our Jiang Mansion that the Princess Qing has come.”
“Please have a seat, Princess Qing.”
Although they were unsure of Jiang Yan’s intentions, Old Madam Jiang still wore a full smile and spoke cordially to Jiang Yan.
“Bring forth the gift 1 prepared for Old Madam Jiang.”
Jiang Yan’s maid stepped forward with a box.
Jiang Yan personally opened it, revealing a white jade Guanyin statue inside.
“Old Madam, this white jade Guanyin was specially acquired for you. I hope you like it.”
“Thank you, Princess Qing.”
“Yu Zhen, take it.”
“Grandmother, it’s almost time. Let’s head to the banquet.”
At this point, Jiang Peihuan, who was sitting next to the elderly Mrs. Jiang, spoke up. Given her highest status among them, after Jiang Peihuan’s words, Jiang Yan had no choice but to follow her out.
The guests had all arrived, with Xiao Nanye, Jiang Changbai, and Jiang Songbai greeting them. Originally, many were indifferent to the Jiang family, knowing that Jiang Hong had relinquished his military power. However, seeing Xiao Nanye’s closeness to the Jiang family now changed many of their opinions.
When Jiang Peihuan appeared, Xiao Nanye immediately approached her.
Yue Er stepped back two steps upon seeing Xiao Nanye approaching.
Subsequently, Xiao Nanye reached out to hold Jiang Peihuan’s hand.
When Jiang Yan came out, hand in hand with her maid, she saw this scene.
Seeing the undisguised tenderness in the man’s eyes, Jiang Yan’s gaze grew complicated.
“Princess Qing, please take your seat.”
While unsure of Jiang Yan’s purpose for coming, guests are still guests, so Xue Yan arranged for her to take a seat at the top.
Once the old madam sat down, dishes began to be served.
“Old Madam Jiang, may your happiness be as vast as the East Sea, and may your life be as long-lasting as the South Mountain.”
Everyone raised their wine glasses to toast Old Madam Jiang.
Old Madam Jiang’s eyes were filled with joy, “I apologize for the inadequate hospitality today. Enjoy the meal.”
“The dishes of the General Mansion are truly unparalleled.”
Everyone laughed and chatted with Old Madam Jiang. At that moment, Jiang Yan also began to speak with a smile, “Tasting the food from the Jiang Mansion, it truly is…”
Before Jiang Yan could finish her sentence, she felt a sudden sharp pain in her abdomen.
She immediately clutched her stomach.
“Princess Qing, what’s wrong?”
Seeing this, Jiang Yan’s maid hurried forward, and the faces of the Jiang family changed. Jiang Peihuan frowned.
At that moment, Jiang Peihuan’s first thought was that Jiang Yan was trying to frame them, but she dismissed that idea, thinking Jiang Yan wouldn’t joke with the child of the Qi Ming Emperor.
“Summon the doctor.”
Xue Yan immediately ordered.
But it was too late.
Seeing the maid trying to help Jiang Yan, Jiang Peihuan urgently said, “Don’t touch her.”
Soon, Jiang Yan’s dress was stained red.
By the time the doctor arrived, he declared that Jiang Yan had miscarried.
Hearing this news, a heavy mood overcame the Jiang Mansion.
Jiang Yan was also stunned.
“Quickly inform His Highness.”
Jiang Yan’s maid spoke urgently. Upon receiving the news, Xiao Junhao immediately rushed to the Jiang Mansion.
Entering the courtyard, Xiao Junhao’s eyes first landed on Jiang Peihuan.
Perhaps it was because of her pregnancy, but he felt she looked even more beautiful.
“Your Highness, the princess has miscarried.”
Hearing the maid’s voice, Xiao Junhao snapped back to the present, approaching Jiang Yan. Seeing her bloodstained dress, he frowned.
“What happened?”
“Your Highness, the princess specifically came to congratulate Old Madam Jiang on her birthday. However, after just a few bites, the princess miscarried.” “What nonsense are you talking about? Are you implying that my Jiang family caused her miscarriage..”
