After careful consideration, the Duke of Protectorate was sure that there were no hidden dangers, so he asked his wife to agree to recognize Danruo as the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Protectorate.
As soon as the Crown Princess received the letter, she invited Danruo to her house.
The Crown Princess took Dan Ruo's hand and said affectionately:
"Danruo, you've helped me so much. I really don't know how to thank you. I've wanted a sister as smart and lovely as you since I was a child. Would you be willing to recognize me as your sister?"
Fearing that Danruo would feel embarrassed, the Crown Princess tugged at her sleeve and teased her lightly:
"If you don't want me to, I'll cry."
Danruo agreed and called her sister sweetly.
She knew that the Crown Princess could have given her some gold and silver, but she was willing to go to great lengths to give her the status of the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Protectorate, which showed that she was willing to protect her for the rest of her life.
Then he also wanted to repay this new sister, so he took out a pomegranate flower-shaped sachet from his arms and gave it to the Crown Princess.
There are pomegranate seeds in it that contain their own spiritual energy, which can ensure that the Crown Princess will safely pass through her pregnancy.
Dan Ruo chatted with the Crown Princess for a while, and when she saw that she looked sleepy, she offered to leave, and told the Crown Princess to walk more during pregnancy, which would be beneficial for delivery.
After returning to the mansion, Dan Ruo not only told Ran and Jing Ruchen about the Crown Princess's plan to adopt her as her sister, but also about the Duke of Protectorate who was looking for a date to hold a banquet.
As for the other people in the mansion, no one told them.
Ran was very happy for her. In this way, in the eyes of those people in the capital, she had someone to rely on.
Jing Ruchen learned that the Crown Princess was pregnant. At night, when he was feeling emotional, he hugged Dan Ruo and whispered:
"Ruo'er, give me a child."
Dan Ruo poked his hard chest and said to herself that the baby was already in her belly, but it was not yet time for the imperial physician to diagnose it.
Jing Jing'er was sent away. Although Jing Shengwen was sad, he had to go on with his life. After Dan Ruo's words, Ying Nianrong always suspected that it was Jing Jing'er who pushed her into the water.
Jing Shengwen tried to communicate several times but to no avail, so he asked Marquis Jing'en for help, then took Marquis Jing'en's token and took Ying Nianrong to see Aunt Sun.
Aunt Sun noticed that the relationship between the young couple was fluctuating.
She opened her mouth and started to scold Jing Shengwen for not taking good care of Ying Nianrong, and then pulled Ying Nianrong into the house.
I was concerned about her recent physical condition, asked her about several symptoms, and told her frankly that she must be pregnant, which was why she was emotionally unstable and suspicious.
Ying Nianrong thought about the symptoms and felt that what Aunt Sun said was right.
Her period is still a week away, and she has already experienced the abdominal pain that Aunt Sun mentioned, occasionally on the left and sometimes on the right side, and she has been thinking too much in recent days.
Aunt Sun said happily, "I'm glad you're pregnant. Jing'er's sacrifice is not in vain."
"Jing'er risked her life to frame Danruo just to secure the crown prince position for her brother Shengwen. This way, Jing Ruchen would lose face and never marry again. He wouldn't have to adopt your child, and I could have the Marquis ask the Emperor to change the crown prince position to Shengwen."
When Ying Nianrong heard this, she immediately felt guilty for her suspicion of Jing Jing'er a few days ago, and said frankly that she would treat her and Jing Jing'er well after becoming the marquis's wife.
Aunt Sun shook her head and said selflessly: "It doesn't matter to Jing'er and me, as long as you and Shengwen are fine."
Ying Nianrong felt a warm feeling in her heart. Seeing that Aunt Sun was living a hard life, she immediately said that she would go back and pack some food for her.
When Jing Shengwen saw Ying Nianrong leave, he asked Aunt Sun in surprise:
"Mom, am I really going to have a baby?"
Aunt Sun glared at him distressedly:
"You're already grown up, but you still can't learn to be cautious. Call me auntie, don't let anyone catch you."
Then he paused and sighed, "It's hard to say about children. I was just trying to coax Ying Nianrong. It would be better if she had a child, but she would feel lost if she didn't. If you show your desire for a child again, she'll feel incompetent and blame herself."
"What I said just now immediately diverted her attention and made your relationship better."
Jing Shengwen looked at Aunt Sun with admiration. His biological mother was really good at it.
Ying Nianrong was already busy preparing a lot of food, and Aunt Sun held her close, acting as if they were real mother and daughter.
Finally, he did not forget to ask Jing Shengwen to be more considerate of Ying Nianrong.
Ying Nianrong glanced at Jing Shengwen with pride, and was as happy as a flower.
Jing Shengwen looked at her dotingly, but the smile in his eyes was not deep. After he sent Ying Nianrong to the yard, he went to find Marquis Jing'en.
He also had to help Aunt Sun gain favor with Marquis Jing'en so that Marquis Jing'en would release Aunt Sun as soon as possible.
He went to the front yard and didn't find anyone, so he waited at the gate and saw Marquis Jing'en who had just returned home.
Marquis Jing'en looked happy. When Jing Shengwen approached him, he smelled the scent of a woman's cheap perfume on him. Upon closer inspection, he saw scratches on his neck.
Jing Shengwen's heart sank. For all these years, there was only one concubine in the mansion, Aunt Sun. He always thought that his biological mother, Aunt Sun, was his father's true love. He didn't expect that his father now had another woman.
He tried to mention that Aunt Sun's life was hard, but Marquis Jing'en's eyes no longer showed the same pity as before. He bluntly said that it was she who spoiled Jing Jing'er and asked her to reflect on it.
In fact, he was the one who spoiled Jing Jing'er.
Jing Shengwen thought about it all night, and the next day he went to find King Zhuang, who had previously tried to win him over.
He originally thought he could wait a little longer, after all, Jing Ruchen couldn't have children.
But the behavior of Marquis Jing'en today made him worry. If he continued like this, there would be a new illegitimate son in the Marquis' Mansion.
Prince Zhuang was originally worried because the Crown Princess was pregnant, and when he saw Jing Shengwen agreed, he immediately flattered the emperor.
