Chapter 109 Don't Be Vicious
Jiang Ruyi's smug face suddenly froze. She looked back and around in disbelief, but found nothing. The sudden feeling of guilt disappeared immediately.
She looked at the person in front of her with a sarcastic expression: "Jiang Qingning, are you scared to death by what grandma said?"
Old Madam Jiang knocked the ground with her cane, her voice filled with anger: "Hmph, it's just wishful thinking. Do you really want your husband Ruyi to come out and make the decision for you?!"
Jiang Ruyi was satisfied and rubbed her belly. "Grandmother, Jiang Qingning is now divorced from my husband and feels very regretful. However, there can only be one wife in the Anping Marquis's Mansion, and that is me, Jiang Ruyi. What's mine is mine, and no one can take it away from me."
"Good boy, grandma knew that you are the most promising grandchild in our Jiang family." Old Mrs. Jiang nodded with satisfaction.
The people around couldn't help but look surprised and began to whisper to each other.
"No, are they sick? Could it be that they forgot that Miss Jiang gave birth to the Earl of Anping's eldest son?"
"Since ancient times, there have been family disputes, disputes over heirs, and disputes in the court. The rich and powerful have fought for everything. Naturally, the heirs of the first wife and the stepwife are even more of a fight."
"According to that, what is Jiang Ru's intention? Even if Anping Bo is a rare talent, so what? He has a bunch of beautiful women around him, and he can't even take care of his lower body."
"Haven't you already given the answer? He's a rare talent... We don't dare get involved in the twists and turns of this kind of people."
Jiang Qingning smiled as he looked at the alley at the corner, his eyes as cold as broken ice falling to the ground.
"Xun Chen, now that you're here, why hide like a rat in the gutter? Are you enjoying my jokes now?"
The air froze for a moment.
Everyone's eyes were unconsciously drawn to the corner of the alley where Jiang Qingning was sighted.
There was a suffocating silence, with only the faint sound of the wind blowing through the corner bells on the eaves and Jiang Ruyi's slightly rapid breathing.
Jiang Ruyi didn't believe it, her face stiffened: "How is that possible? He is obviously too tired from taking a day off today and doesn't want to leave the house."
Thinking of this, her face suddenly turned ugly.
Xun Chen just didn't want to forgive her mistakes!
Even though she was pregnant with the heir to the Anping Marquis's Mansion, and was pregnant with Xun Chen's child!
Finally, footsteps were heard.
Xun Chen walked out of the shadows step by step.
His figure was still upright, and he still had the demeanor of a young man from a noble family, but the embarrassment and the haggardness that was hard to conceal on his face had overshadowed his former charm.
"Is this the Earl of Anping? Why does he seem so less spirited?"
"It's because of the quarrels between his step-wife and concubines. I heard that he would rather live in the government office than go back to the mansion."
"Tsk... what's the point?"
"Perhaps the younger Tu's second wife will cause trouble?"
Xun Chen's eyes swept across Jiang Qingning's increasingly clear and cold face, then quickly dropped as if burned, and finally landed on Xun Moli, whom he was holding tightly.
Xun Moli was wearing a royal blue Hangzhou silk dress with a heavy gold locket hanging around his neck.
His face was tense as he looked at the people in front of him who were in a tense situation. His expression was filled with the pride of a spoiled child, as well as a sense of unfamiliarity and alienation towards his mother Jiang Qingning.
"Husband!" Jiang Ruyi cried out in a sharp voice.
Seeing Xun Chen appear with Xun Moli, especially seeing Xun Moli's dependence on Xun Chen that was beyond words, a strong sense of jealousy and anger rose from the bottom of Jiang Ruyi's heart, burning her internal organs.
She subconsciously touched her flat belly, where she was carrying her and Xun Chen's child, her only child.
Isn’t it just a son?
She, Jiang Ruyi, is even better!
Old Mrs. Jiang was shocked by this sudden change. Her cloudy old eyes suddenly widened, but when she heard Jiang Ruyi's dazed murmur, they were filled with gloom.
She slammed the red sandalwood cane in her hand, making a dull sound, and looked at Xun Chen sternly: "Anping Bo, what do you mean by this?"
Alarm bells rang in her heart. Xun Chen's appearance with Jiang Qingning's son at this critical juncture was simply adding fuel to the fire.
The situation she had carefully planned was definitely messed up!
Xun Chen frowned slightly and glanced over unhappily, which made Old Lady Jiang's eyes full of astonishment. What did Xun Chen mean by this?
Why are you looking at her with such disgust? She is the elder!
"Uncle Anping, you!" Old Mrs. Jiang opened her mouth.
"Oh!"
An undisguised sneer broke the silence.
Jiang Qingxi took a step forward and stood directly in front of her sister Jiang Qingning.
Her sharp eyes, which resembled those of her father, General Jiang, burned with rage as she slashed directly at Xun Chen:
"Who was it I thought? It turned out to be the Anping Earl from the Anping Earl's Mansion!"
"Why, sir, are you acting like that sly sewer rat now, hiding in the shadows and sneaking around like a sly peek?"
"I regret that I divorced and remarried for the sake of masculinity and listened to your good mother. Now I see that my sister is living a better life without you.
Are you feeling really anxious and upset? Or did you bring your good son here to see us sisters make fun of you, so that you can go back and ask your new wife for a reward?"
She spoke quickly and urgently, every word was as sharp as a knife, and every sentence was full of thorns.
Under Jiang Qingxi's merciless scolding, Xun Chen's face turned from white to red, and then from red to blue.
The hand holding Xun Moli unconsciously tightened, and the force was so great that the defenseless Xun Moli cried out in pain: "It hurts!"
Xun Chen suddenly came to his senses and let go of his hand, subconsciously looking at Jiang Qingning, hoping to see a hint of fluctuation on her face, even a hint of anger.
But nothing.
Those eyes that he was once so familiar with were now like a bottomless cold pool, calm and still, as if they were looking at a complete stranger.
"Jiang Qingning, don't you have anything to say when you see me?"
"Do you think there is anything I can talk about with Lord Anping?" Jiang Qingning asked coldly.
This familiar feeling that I didn't want to admit came again, just like the time a few days ago in the prison of the Ministry of Justice.
The look in Jiang Qingning's eyes was the same as the way Qin Xiu used cruel means to interrogate Wen Ziyi, as if they were close friends doing the same thing in different places.
This realization made Xun Chen extremely jealous, and he was unwilling to admit that he regretted it.
But even though he had said countless harsh words to Jiang Qingning in the past, he listened to his mother and married again.
At this moment, he realized it deeply.
He regretted it.
Xun Moli's eyes were red, and no one comforted him. The huge gap made him want to cry out loud.
"Why are you crying? Hold it back!"
Jiang Qingning frowned, and seeing this scene, his expression was indifferent, "Xun Moli, don't cry when you encounter something."
"He's just a kid."
Xun Chen came back to his senses and started to defend himself, "Jiang Qingning, don't be so fierce. Be careful not to scare the child."
