"Yang'er, you can do whatever you want to me, but the child in my belly is your own flesh and blood. He is innocent. You can do whatever you want to me, but please, I beg you, give him a way out, okay?" Wang Shi cried, her voice choked with tears.
What close relatives? Right now, that thing is just an embryo the size of a peanut, it doesn't even have a life. Besides, so what if they have the same father? She and Jian Fei have the same father, Jian Yang thought to herself.
Seeing that Jian Yang didn't speak, Wang cried even harder. After a moment of silence, she changed the subject and said, "If the master knew, he would be very sad. He is old, and who knows how badly he would be hurt."
Hearing this, Jian Yang wavered. The child in her belly wasn't important, but her father was. She looked at Zhou Jingzhi with some hesitation, not knowing what to do.
"You make the decision. If you want to spare this child's life, then spare him," Zhou Jingzhi said.
That's what they say, but if they let Wang Shi off so easily, wouldn't that be exactly what she wanted? Wang Shi looked at her with tears in her eyes, and Jian Yang was in a dilemma.
After thinking for a long time, Jian Yang decided to maintain the status quo for now, and asked the jailer to move Wang Shi to a cleaner cell, take good care of her, and discuss the rest later.
Since Lady Wang left, Prime Minister Jian had been depressed. He couldn't understand why Lady Wang would do such a thing, and he still couldn't believe it was true.
Today, he went to Wang's room on his own again. Looking at the mess on the floor, he felt very uncomfortable.
Well, let's just say he misjudged people. Prime Minister Jian looked up and sighed. Suddenly, he noticed a note nailed above the door frame and quickly took it down.
The note read in large characters: "The Wang family is in my hands."
There was no signature, no request, just these few large characters, which left Prime Minister Jian completely bewildered, but at that moment he suddenly felt less distressed.
Wang was kidnapped, so she must not have betrayed the Prime Minister's mansion, right? Prime Minister Jian hurriedly went to find Jian Hong.
After hearing what Prime Minister Jian said, Jian Hong was completely bewildered. He didn't know how his father could be so infatuated with that vixen, still thinking about such things at a time like this.
"Hong'er, your aunt must have been wronged. You must find a way to save her!" Prime Minister Jian said anxiously.
Jian Hong explained for a long time that Wang was definitely not wronged or kidnapped, but Prime Minister Jian just wouldn't believe him.
Annoyed by the pestering, Jian Hong said helplessly, "Father, Auntie ran away to Prince Chen's mansion on her own, but was later arrested by the Emperor and A Yang. She is currently locked up in prison."
“She’s Zhou Jing’an’s woman, and that note was deliberately placed there by Zhou Jing’an to sow discord among us,” Jian Hong added.
Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Jian was stunned for a moment and said, "How could this be? No, I have to go find A-Yang." With that, he hurried to the palace.
Meanwhile, Jian Yang and Zhou Jingzhi returned to the palace after leaving the prison.
She was really annoyed. How could Wang have gotten pregnant at this crucial moment?
"What should we do now?" Jian Yang asked.
“If you don’t want her to keep the child, then don’t.” Zhou Jingzhi rubbed Jian Yang’s head, looking at her with affection.
"But that's still my father's child, I really don't know what to do..." Jian Yang wailed. God, why did you leave her with such a problem?
As soon as Prime Minister Jian stepped outside the door, he overheard this conversation and was so shocked that he was speechless.
His child? Lady Wang is pregnant? Without waiting for an announcement, Prime Minister Jian pushed open the door and went inside.
"Father, why are you here?" Jian Yang looked at Prime Minister Jian with a puzzled expression.
"You rebellious daughter, how could you try to harm your unborn brother! How could you be so vicious?!" Prime Minister Jian glared at Jian Yang, as if she were his enemy, not his daughter.
Jian Yang was stunned by the barrage of insults. She thought to herself that she hadn't said she absolutely had to kill the embryo. So, this old man was closer to the embryo than to her?
"No matter what, the child must stay. If you insist on harming my flesh and blood, then don't blame your father!" Prime Minister Jian seemed extremely angry, his beard trembling.
Hearing this, Jian Yang was very displeased. Where was the father-daughter affection in this? She looked coldly at Prime Minister Jian and said, "I don't have a brother like that."
Prime Minister Jian was so anxious that he pointed at Jian Yang, his hand trembling as he tried to say something, but was interrupted by Zhou Jingzhi.
"Prime Minister Jian, what a grand display of power you have," the emperor said casually, glancing at him.
Prime Minister Jian then composed himself, realizing he had completely forgotten the Emperor was still present. He quickly cupped his hands in a salute and said, "Your subject dares not."
Zhou Jingzhi sneered: "Does Prime Minister Jian know that if it weren't for A Yang's soft heart, Wang Shi would have been torn to pieces by me long ago?"
Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Jian was startled and dared not speak for a moment.
“Father, I can give the child a chance to stay, but I will never let the Wang family go,” Jian Yang suddenly said.
Seeing that she had relented, Prime Minister Jian also breathed a sigh of relief and tentatively asked, "Ayang, why won't you let your aunt go?"
Jian Yang couldn't help but sneer. Why? What had she done to the original owner, plus the repeated attacks on her later, and now her collusion with Zhou Jing'an? What reason did she have to let Wang Shi go?
Jian Yang was too lazy to explain. She knew that Prime Minister Jian wouldn't believe her. She originally thought he was just love-struck, but it turned out he was completely blinded by love.
"Father, please look at what your daughter has in her hands before you start haggling." With that, Jian Yang handed Prime Minister Jian a stack of letters.
He took the letter and flipped through it page by page, becoming more and more alarmed. The handwriting on the letter was indeed Wang's, and even the writing style was exactly the same as hers.
As for the contents of these letters, they were nothing more than Wang's report to Zhou Jing'an on the actions of the Prime Minister's mansion, and Zhou Jing'an's instructions to her on how to harm Jian Yang.
Prime Minister Jian remained silent, handed the letter back to Jian Yang, and left the palace in a daze after bowing to Zhou Jingzhi. He couldn't believe that his husband of many years would do such a thing.
Jian Yang was in a very bad mood at the moment. She felt wronged for herself and for the original Jian Yang. Their sincere feelings were not as good as those of a hypocritical aunt. Jian Yang's lips drooped and she remained silent.
Zhou Jingzhi knew that she was hurt by what he had just said, so he gently pulled Jian Yang into his arms and patted her back.
“Ayang, it’s okay, I’ll always be on your side,” Zhou Jingzhi said.
His deep, gentle voice calmed Jian Yang's heart. She buried her face in his chest, hugging the man tightly.
