"How could that be? Knowing all this makes me feel even more sorry for you." Zhou Xuanning was speaking the truth. That man named Rong was indeed not a good person. He even let down such a good woman.
"If I were the first one to meet you, we would be together for the rest of our lives." Zhou Xuanning's voice was gentle and doting, which was completely different in front of Jiang Yingying.
Whenever he thought about Yan'er giving birth to a child for that man, he felt even more jealous.
"You have such a good woman by your side, why do you need me?" Ye Qingyan stood up from his arms and said from a little distance.
Zhou Xuanning found her even more adorable when he saw her looking jealous of him.
"She's unruly and unreasonable. I only like gentle women like you," Zhou Xuanning coaxed, then sighed. "But the engagement with her was made by Prince An's Mansion and the General's Mansion together. It's difficult to cancel it now even if I want to. But Yan'er, I will definitely break off the engagement with her, and then marry you in eight sedan chairs."
Zhou Xuanning promised, his eyes full of seriousness. It wasn't that he didn't care about a woman's chastity, but for the one he loved, everything could be tolerated.
Ye Qingyan smoothed Zhou Xuanning's frown with her hand and said sympathetically, "I've never sought these false reputations. You don't have to put so much pressure on yourself for me. If Prince An's Mansion and the General's Mansion become enemies, it will be bad for Zhou Xuanning, and it will also make your father and mother worry."
The gentle voice seemed to be able to soothe people's hearts, and Zhou Xuanning felt his heart suddenly calm down.
"Where's the child?" Zhou Xuanning looked around but didn't see the child. He had come to the capital early to handle some business, and since then he hadn't received a reply from Yan'er. So much so that he wasn't even by her side when she gave birth.
"The child was taken away by the wet nurse." Ye Qingyan replied. With the child beside her, she couldn't sleep at all at night.
Zhou Xuanning was jealous before, thinking that Yan'er had given birth to a child for that man. But now Yan'er was with him, but not with the child.
He suddenly felt that he had surpassed the man in the palace.
"Why are you with the eldest princess?" Zhou Xuanning asked. The eldest princess and Rong Ye are siblings, and the man he knows should not be like that.
Ye Qingyan told her story, how she was forced to jump into the river in order to escape, but she found out that she was pregnant.
After she finished speaking, there was still a hint of nervousness on her face. "I don't want to be found by the emperor again and then return to the palace. Can you help me?"
"How dare he do this to you!" Zhou Xuanning stood up angrily. He knew about it in the past, but he didn't know much about the affairs of other concubines, and he would never inquire about what was going on in the harem.
Of course, Prince An's Mansion did send some women into the palace, but the information that could be obtained was very limited. Besides, Ye Qingyan was just a minor talent, and although she was somewhat favored, she could not play any role.
After all, Rong Ye favors Concubine Qiao more.
Zhou Xuanning touched Ye Qingyan's hair, and the two of them were affectionate for a long time. Finally, at Ye Qingyan's urging, they left Fu Mansion.
And at this time the General's Mansion.
Jiang Yingying also chatted with her father about family matters, telling him how considerate and gentle Zhou Xuanning was to her today.
Looking at his daughter's shy appearance, Jiang Ting felt both happy and sad. He felt that his daughter was going to get married soon, and the old father was really reluctant to let her go.
If his daughter were bullied after marrying into Prince An's mansion, he would not let them go with the sword or gun in his hand.
