Yan Zhuoke was too familiar with the look of a little woman showing her teeth when she was angry.

But he didn't feel disgusted, and inexplicably felt comfortable. He smiled and tucked a strand of Jiang Ying's hair behind her ear, "Mother has been anxious about my second brother's marriage for more than a day or two. The Mu family has been rich for generations, and their education and knowledge are excellent. It's normal for mother to value Miss Mu."

These words undoubtedly exposed Tong's secret plan.

Tong Yu was full of resentment, and the strength of squeezing Mu Wanbai increased. The latter hurriedly pulled his hand away timidly, "Thank you, Princess, for your kindness, but Wanbai is feeling a little uncomfortable. Can we go to the pavilion in front to rest for a while?"

The Mu family and the Jiang family had an engagement, and Mu Wanbai had been flirting with Tong before she was so reckless as to reveal it in public.

But in fact, the two have visited each other privately several times recently.

As for Jiang Yuanchen, well...what else can she do except sigh?

She was the eldest daughter of the family, and her father and grandfather would never agree to her marrying a fool, and... and, Mu Wanbai had to admit that she had met Jiang Yuanchen once by chance when she went there, and the elegant and talented man of the past was no longer there, replaced by a fool who couldn't even control his own fluids. How could she accept this?

After that meeting, she went home and had a nightmare about her wedding night with a fool. She dreamed of Jiang Yuanchen, who was bleeding...

Thinking of this, Mu Wanbai's hands trembled even more, and his whole body went cold.

Tong 꿻 was just about to find the steps down, glared at Jiang Ying, and enthusiastically instructed Grandma Zhao, "She was fine just now, but you can't be careless now. Grandma Zhao, help Miss Mu go to the pavilion to rest for a while."

When he looked up and saw Su Yilang, Tong 꿻's smile deepened.

Just follow along.

Just as she was about to turn around, she saw Yan Zhuo still there. Not only that, his eyes were fixed on Jiang's face as if he were looking at a treasure. In her arms, she was holding her baby, who was baring his teeth and claws at her. The warm picture of this family made the flower-filled garden seem to be eclipsed.

Tong Yu suppressed his anger and said softly, "Zhuo'er, this is the backyard, there are so many ladies here, what if you bump into them? Besides, there are many guests in the front yard who need you to entertain, you'd better hurry over, otherwise your father will be unhappy again."

In front of others, she is the stepmother wearing a kind mask.

Yan Zhuo had seen a lot, so he was not impressed. He just held the little thing moving around in his arms.

He coaxed her in a low voice, "Why, my dear, don't you want to be with your father? What can we do? Your mother seems to be busier than your father."

There were inquiring and curious eyes everywhere, and Tong 꿻놇 was trying to smooth things over. Yan Zhuo felt that Jiang Ying could not handle it.

Especially someone like Meng Weiwei, who can inexplicably transform herself into a cannonball before anyone even uses her as a gun.

After hearing Yan Zhuo's words, the sound of whispers was heard all around.

"Prince Yan is so kind to his concubine that he even lets the child call her mother. How can a concubine be called mother?"

"Who said no? He even held the child himself. Even my father never held me!"

"Maybe it's not just a room?"

The sudden insertion of fresh gossip instantly excited the girls.

Catch the person who is talking and ask, "What? Did you hear something?"

"If not a concubine, what else could she be?! Look at her arrogant look. Only a real country girl would be able to trap a prince for a child. She is just as despicable and shameless as a servant."

These words floated into Jiang Ying's ears without missing a word, and she was really speechless.

The palace is so big, with pavilions and towers and clusters of flowers in the garden. In order to keep these people entertained, Tong Yu also prepared tea with flowers, snacks, go, piano, pot-tossing embroidery and other food and entertainment. Why don't they go to play and get together to say bad things about her?

The young lady who was being questioned kept the suspense for a long time, and then raised her chin and said, "So you didn't know? Her, haha, isn't her last name Jiang? A few days ago, someone saw her and the old lady of the Duke Jiang's Mansion go to Fanlou for dinner, and she also told the shopkeeper An that for her bills, just put the head of the Duke Jiang's Mansion."

"Tell me, when did Madam Jiang, who is so serious, show such love to a girl named Wang? Now it's Prince Yan who is like this... I think it's just a matter of listening to the words of a village girl. Without any support, how could she dare to do it?"

"Ah? You mean..."

"Yes, yes, Miss Xiao, you are right. I heard that... she is the illegitimate daughter of Duke Jiang. Is that right?"

"Ah! An illegitimate daughter? Then...didn't Jiang Yilin, the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family, just get engaged to Prince Yan? The marriage was granted by the Emperor. How could such a thing happen? Did the Jiang family acquiesce to this with ulterior motives, or is she just shameless? Ahem!"

Xiao Yuer waved her hands with a reserved expression, "You ask me, who should I ask? Maybe this is the custom of the people from the border. I have heard that the barbarians at the border give a few extra daughters to their daughters when they marry them off, to keep as a favorite for their daughters. But Jiang Yilin hasn't even married yet, but she sent her virgin daughter to her aunt's bed and she got pregnant and gave birth to a child. This is the first time I've heard of this, it's really fresh."

Suddenly, there were more gazes of various colors around Jiang Ying.

Tong and Mu Wanbai, who was supported by Grandma Zhao, of course heard it. The former was secretly happy, while the latter had a pair of confused eyes like a deer, "Why, Aunt Jiang, are you really Jiang Yuanchen's concubine sister?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a dangerous aura looming over his head.

Mu Wanbai looked up in surprise, just in time to meet Coco Yanzhuo's cold and intimidating gaze.

She raised her thin lips slightly, "Who told you to call her aunt? Your mouth is not made for talking, so just shut up and say less!"

Mu Wanbai, "..."

Oh my, Prince Yan is so fierce!

Then, if she was alone in her room, what else could she call her other than Aunt Jiang?

Xiaoyan, [Hehehe, Bai Lianhua hit the wall! The scumbag dad is a double standard. He thinks that being an aunt is enough, and if others want to belittle mother, look, he starts to get anxious! He is really like a big wolf dog protecting his cubs! ]

Hearing the voice, Jiang Ying carefully observed Yan Zhuo's angry face.

Oh, you know what, they really do look alike!

At this moment, the butler bowed and ran forward to report to Tong, "Princess, people from Duke Jiang's mansion are here."
