After being reminded by Tie Yi, Baise figured things out and then couldn't eat or sleep well.

I'm worried; I'm afraid I'll be beheaded someday.

Then I thought again, Tie Yi, she's already married. And she doesn't plan to divorce or remarry.

Life is short, only a few decades. Why worry about things that haven't happened yet?

After she came to terms with it, she decided to eat and drink whatever she wanted in Baise. Then she got pregnant.

Baise approached Ye Yunniang and said, "You need to be careful."

"What should I be concerned about?" She was a widow and had no connection whatsoever with the emperor.

"Watch out for Jiang Mingzhe."

The emperor had previously promised Jiang Mingzhe that if he brought back the iron mines from Yan, he would be granted the title of Earl.

Jiang Mingzhe was like a fish leaping over the dragon gate, rising to the ranks of the powerful and wealthy, and no longer having to suffer from the bullying of officials.

Jiang Mingzhe and Zhuang Meixue are divorced, so he is publicly single. He is in his prime, handsome, and a highly desirable man.

"There must be many widows who want to be countesses. What if Jiang Mingzhe rejects everyone else and insists on marrying you?"

As Madam Jiang, you'll be dealing with the wives and daughters of officials quite often in the future. Also…” Baise paused here.

"what else?"

"There are also many businessmen who will rush to send women to Jiang Mingzhe at the meeting."

I do business in Jiangcheng and have dealt with Jiang Mingzhe. He's the type who accepts anyone, and brothels are commonplace for him.”

"Cough cough cough, my wife, cough cough cough..." Tie Yi coughed and blinked desperately from the side.

"If you're not feeling well, drink some tea. Don't interrupt me." Baise rolled her eyes at Tie Yi and continued to badmouth Jiang Mingzhe to Ye Yunniang.

"The manager of Baise knows very well about Jiang's affairs."
