Wei Zhirou's expression turned pale and then red.
She naturally wanted her child to be born into a privileged family.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have allowed Xu Jingxiu to risk going to the Emperor to plead for the title to be revoked.
But the emperor disagreed and made her husband kneel for a day and a night. What could she do?
After admiring Wei Zhirou's expression for a while, Jiang Tian said lazily, "Now that I've married a new husband and have my own life, and Madam Xu has a new child, don't keep focusing on A-Shu. Since she has received an award, it means she has extraordinary abilities."
"It's no use you coming to me. I just hope my daughter gets better and better."
After saying that, Jiang Tian took Yan Heng's hand and turned to leave.
The servants, fearing trouble, didn't even dare to give chase.
Wei Zhirou took several deep breaths to suppress the anger in her heart.
After not seeing her for several years, how come Jiang Tian's mouth has become so sharp?
At the same time, Yan Heng was also asking this question.
"When did you become so sharp-tongued?"
Jiang Tian and Yan Heng had already walked quite a distance when she heard his question. She glanced at him silently and, from an angle where no one else could see, placed his hand on her chest.
"Did you hear that? My heart is still pounding. I was terrified. If you weren't here with me, I wouldn't have dared to say that. I was afraid they would drag me out and beat me to death."
Jiang Tian whispered in his ear.
Yan Heng was at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
While others mature with age, he found Jiang Tian becoming increasingly childlike as he spent time with her.
Yan Heng knew in his heart that without his favor, Jiang Tian would not be where she was today.
"Those people probably haven't given up yet."
Yan Heng and Jiang Tian got down to business.
He hesitated for a moment before revealing that he had made Xu Jingxiu kneel for a day and a night.
"She's probably trying to get information from your daughter and is now trying to blackmail you."
After hearing his explanation, Jiang Tian's eyes widened, and she finally couldn't help but laugh out loud: "You made him kneel in the palace for a whole day and night?"
Seeing Jiang Tian's gloating expression, Yan Heng knew he didn't need to worry about her still having ties with Xu Jingxiu.
"……right."
Jiang Tian laughed for a while longer.
"If she won't give up, so be it. Anyway, you're by my side, so I'm not afraid of anything. Let's continue to enjoy the lantern festival and forget about those unpleasant people and things. I don't want to deal with them; they're disgusting."
Yan Heng was relieved to see that Jiang Tian was not afraid.
If his bodyguards can't even handle those petty thieves, there's no point in keeping them around him.
So the two of them regained their good mood for enjoying the scenery.
Jiang Tian bought several lanterns, and she even gave Yan Heng a mandarin duck lantern as a gift.
"Today we are just an ordinary couple, and I would like to express my feelings by giving you this lamp."
Jiang Tian blushed slightly, yet secretly awaited Yan Heng's response.
Yan Heng took the lamp and slowly examined it.
The lamp was quite ordinary in style, but the vendor selling it was very eloquent, saying things like "You two are a perfect match" and "May you grow old together," which convinced Jiang Tian to buy it on the spot.
"Why aren't you saying anything? How's the lamp I gave you?" Jiang Tian seemed a little anxious.
Yan Heng, holding only the lamp, said slowly, "You spend my money to buy a lamp and then give it to me as a gift. This is a good deal."
Seeing that Jiang Tian was about to get angry, Yan Heng coughed lightly: "This lamp... is acceptable."
Sure enough, Jiang Tian's expression changed from gloomy to sunny.
The two strolled around for a while longer. Yan Heng noticed that all the lanterns looked pretty much the same, but Jiang Tian seemed quite interested.
Yan Heng only took her back to the carriage when she got tired of walking around.
"I'm going to sleep for a while..."
After Jiang Tian finished speaking, she found a comfortable position in Yan Heng's arms and quickly closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Yan Heng didn't sleep; his intuition told him that he would encounter some uninvited guests tonight.
Sure enough, after the carriage had been traveling for half an hour, it suddenly jolted.
Yan Heng held Jiang Tian in his arms to prevent her from bumping into anything, but the swaying woke her up.
Yan Heng looked at Jiang Tian and said, "They're probably from the Xu family."
He had barely finished speaking when Xu Jingxiu's voice rang out from outside.
"Jiang Tian, come out!"
