The Fourth Prince felt that countless eyes were looking at him. He looked up but saw nothing.
The feeling of being spied on is very real.
Could it be that...someone suspected him?
Impossible, he has been hiding it very well. Except for Lan Ruoyue's affairs, he has never shown up.
Is it because of that idiot?
The Fourth Prince looked at Lan Ruoyue. Her face was full of dissatisfaction, and she exuded a powerful aura.
You don't need to look to know what she hates...
The Fourth Prince now regrets that he shouldn't have agreed to help immediately because he was amazed.
One misstep will lead to eternal regret, there is no point in thinking about it anymore.
What happened today was also very strange. Everything was arranged properly. Both sides attacked and cooperated seamlessly, but it was easily resolved by Jiang Shuyue.
The Queen Mother's attitude was also strange.
He didn't remember that the Queen Mother was a kind person.
The Fourth Prince ate silently, an absurd yet reasonable explanation coming to his mind...
When the banquet was over, those who had been watching the show from the sidelines were very happy.
After coming back and closing the door, they were still chattering in low voices about what happened today.
Everyone laughed so hard that they fell backwards. They asked the servants to prepare some midnight snacks and ate while chatting.
I won’t be attending court tomorrow anyway, so I’ll just eat and drink and make up for what I missed at the banquet!
The Jiang family yard is not so lively anymore
Jiang Wujie placed the soup dumplings and porridge in front of Jiang's mother. Jiang An, who was sitting next to her, blinked when he saw that his son had only prepared two sets of bowls and chopsticks.
Before he could say anything, Jiang's mother and son had already started eating their midnight snack.
Jiang An knew that this was because of what happened today.
But at this moment, everything has been done, and we can only grit our teeth and persevere.
"My wife."
Jiang An said softly, "Madam, I am doing this today to protect our Jiang family."
Mother Jiang didn't say anything.
Was it to protect the Jiang family, or to put her daughter to death?
When Jiang's mother thought about how cruel he was to his own children, she couldn't help but sneer on her face.
Jiang An frowned.
He has felt that his wife treats him differently recently.
This stupid woman had been very well-behaved for more than 20 years, but after Jiang Shuyue got married, she became more and more distant from him.
Even his two sons were indifferent to him.
Jiang An said impatiently: "I know you miss your daughter very much, but Shu Yue is really not our daughter!"
“That’s enough!”
She banged the bowl hard on the table.
Jiang An was startled and immediately became quiet.
Mother Jiang said impatiently, "Neither one nor both. Why am I unworthy of finding my own daughter?"
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant!"
"I also want to find my biological daughter, but Shu Yue is too rebellious. Our family was originally fine, but it fell apart after she came back. I wanted to keep it a secret, but today..."
"You know, if she really is in the palace, my Jiang family will definitely be subjected to thunderous wrath!"
Mother Jiang didn't get angry but laughed instead.
"Heretical? Fine? She grew up in the mountains. Did you teach her after you came back? What qualifications do you have to call her a heretic?"
"Have you ever fulfilled your responsibilities as a father? How can you have the nerve to say such things?"
Jiang's mother was a lady from a prominent family, born into a scholarly family.
She had never lost her temper since she was a child, so when she hit Jiang An, it didn't hurt at all.
“If it weren’t for the fact that the Marquis of Zhennan was also a weirdo and happened to be in sync with Shu Yue, I don’t know how he would be living now.”
"As a father, not only did you not help her, but you also took advantage of her misfortune. What were you thinking?"
"And you said good, who is good? Which one is good? Is it the cousin you had an affair with, or that little bitch?"
"I shouldn't have taken Jiang Liuli in in the first place. I should have let her die outside!"
Although Jiang Liuli was no longer useful, and he was the one who gave up on his own initiative.
But when he thought about the years they had spent together, Jiang An still felt a moment of pain in his heart.
But the pain was only for a moment.
"Jiang An, I'm not saying it all because of my old husband and wife, and even more so, my children. We're all well-known people, and if this kind of joke happens in our family, it will ruin our children's future."
"Don't be so arrogant and think that no one knows what you did!"
Jiang An was a little panicked for a moment: "Madam, what do you mean by this? You still don't believe that I was wronged?"
"You know clearly whether it's an injustice or not."
"It would have been fine if everyone just lived peacefully, but you shouldn't have slandered Shu Yue! How sad she must have been when she heard her father slander her, Jiang An, is your brain full of shit?"
Jiang An was shocked by her vulgarity.
"She is not us..."
“That’s enough!”
Mother Jiang interrupted him angrily, "When Shu Yue was born, she had a birthmark on her body. I've checked it before. It's a small, red, leaf-shaped birthmark. It's not easy to find in this world."
"Whether she is my daughter or not, no one knows better than me, her mother!"
Jiang An's heart was pounding.
When Jiang Shuyue was born, he didn't even hold her in his arms, he just glanced at her through the swaddling clothes.
I didn’t expect she had such a special birthmark!
In fact, the birthmark was made up by Jiang Mu.
She really had no evidence in her hands. If she had been talking nonsense at the time, she would have been finished as soon as the physical examination took place.
But it's different now.
Who would dare to examine her daughter? Who would dare to go to the Zhennan Marquis's mansion and strip her daughter naked?
Now no matter what she said, Jiang An had no choice.
He himself knew that Jiang Shuyue was his biological daughter, so he felt even more guilty.
"I, I don't know. That's what I found out, so... Ma'am, I really don't know!"
Jiang An wanted to pull her hand, but Jiang's mother shook it off forcefully.
Mother Jiang stood up angrily and growled, "You must go to the Zhennan Marquis' Mansion tomorrow to apologize. If Shu Yue doesn't forgive you, then you don't have to come back!"
"My wife..."
"Also, this matter started with you, and it must end with you. If I hear similar remarks again, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
Mother Jiang threw her chopsticks down on the table with force.
The dish of ginger vinegar was knocked over and broke into countless pieces on the ground.
Jiang's mother turned away, and Jiang An stared blankly at the fragments on the ground. He was embarrassed for a long time, and wanted to make his presence felt in front of Jiang Wujie.
"Dad is also very thoughtful. Your mother doesn't understand. You have been in the court for many years, so you should understand, right? Dad just wants to protect the Jiang family!"
"The Jiang family is not protected by selling out their children."
"Dad, instead of telling me now, you might as well think about how to get your sister's forgiveness. Now even the Queen Mother likes Shu Yue very much. If you can't get forgiveness, it will be the end of my Jiang family!"
Jiang An's pupils dilated.
Thinking of the Queen Mother's attitude towards Jiang Shuyue, I couldn't help but feel even colder...
