Fei Leng was worried that Jiang Jingyue would be in danger if she got off the carriage by herself, so he did this. However, what he did not expect was that as soon as he carried Jiang Jingyue off the carriage, he saw Lord Jiang, who was staring wide-eyed at the scene in front of him, not far away.
For the first time, Fei Leng felt awkward. Now, being stared at by Lord Jiang, Fei Leng was at a loss for what to do.
At first, Jiang Jingyue didn't even notice that her father was standing there.
She noticed him because she saw Fei Leng suddenly freeze in place and stare in one direction, so she looked in the direction he was looking.
As soon as Fei Leng looked over, she saw Lord Jiang standing there, staring at her with wide eyes.
Jiang Jingyue felt a little embarrassed by the look in Lord Jiang's eyes, and couldn't help but push Fei Leng to make him put her down.
The main problem was that he was still being held in Fei Leng's arms, which made things a little awkward.
Looking at Jiang Hongye's expression, Jiang Jingyue was momentarily hesitant to approach him.
She hesitated for a while before pulling Fei Leng over there.
As they approached, Lord Jiang kept his eyes fixed on their clasped hands.
Jiang Jingyue followed his gaze and immediately let go of Fei Leng's hand.
Fei Leng felt a sense of loss the moment Jiang Jingyue released her.
Normally, he could have pulled Jiang Jingyue's hand back into his, but not now, because there was someone else watching him intently.
Fei Leng felt that if he really dared to do that now, the consequences might not be what he wanted.
Seeing the gloomy-faced Marquis Jiang, Jiang Jingyue still looked at him and spoke.
"Father, why are you out?"
Jiang Jingyue's words made Lord Jiang even angrier, and he immediately roared at her.
"Are you hoping I didn't come out so you wouldn't know what you did? Jiang Jingyue, if you don't explain why I did what I did today, I definitely won't let you off the hook."
Lord Jiang is currently in a fit of rage, and he doesn't consider the consequences of his words.
He walked up to Jiang Jingyue in an instant, grabbed Jiang Jingyue's hand, and intended to pull him back to the mansion.
Seeing how rough Lord Jiang was acting, Fei Leng, who was standing nearby, became anxious.
He walked over to Jiang Jingyue and reached out to support her.
"Lord Jiang, this is all my fault. It has nothing to do with Xiao Jing. If you want to blame someone, then blame me."
Fei Leng grabbed Jiang Jingyue's hand and pulled her to his side.
Jiang Hou glanced at Jiang Jingyue, who had been pulled to Fei Leng's side, and spoke in a cold voice.
"Xiao Jing, come here. I'll pretend this never happened."
Jiang Jingyue immediately tried to break free from Fei Leng's hand and walked towards Jiang Hou.
However, Fei Leng disagreed at all, because he was worried that if Jiang Jingyue went back with Jiang Hou like this, what if Jiang Hou didn't take the matter seriously?
"Xiao Jing, since things have come to this, let's tell your father about what happened!"
Fei Leng looked at Jiang Hou, about to say something, but before he could speak, Jiang Hou immediately reached out to stop him.
"Your Majesty, I disagree with your plan. Please do not say any more."
Fei Leng hadn't expected that Jiang Hou would have such a strong opinion before he had even said anything.
Now, his temper also turned sour. He had been speaking politely all along, after all, Jiang Hou was the first minister to make him bow his head.
"Lord Jiang, this is not something you can simply disagree with. Xiao Jing is already carrying my child."
As soon as Fei Leng said those words, Jiang Hou almost jumped up. He looked at Jiang Jingyue with disbelief in his eyes.
"Little...Little Jing, are you...are you trying to drive your father to his death?!"
Madam Fei also came out of the mansion at this time. She had been waiting inside for a long time, but Jiang Jingyue still hadn't returned, which she found a bit strange. Usually, Jiang Jingyue would have returned long ago by this time, so she decided to come out and take a look.
Unexpectedly, I heard Jiang Hou's words as soon as I came out.
Before she even reached the gate of the mansion, she immediately roared at Marquis Jiang.
"Jiang Yu, are you tired of living? How dare you yell at Xiao Jing?"
Upon hearing her mother's voice, Jiang Jingyue's eyes lit up immediately, and she stared longingly at the gate of the mansion.
When Madam Jiang came out, she realized that the scene in front of her seemed a little strange.
Her little Jing was being held in the arms of a tall man. The man seemed somewhat familiar, and she had to admit he was quite handsome. Her little Jing certainly had good taste.
The moment Jiang Yu saw Madam Jiang walk out, he immediately went to her side and pointed at Jiang Jingyue in front of him.
“Madam, look at Xiao Jing now, what kind of behavior is this? She… she’s pregnant. I even found her a good family, and I was planning to let her go and see them after she regained her womanhood, but now, now everything is gone.”
When Madam Jiang heard that Jiang Jingyue was pregnant, she couldn't help but frown. She glanced at Fei Leng, who was holding Jiang Jingyue, with some displeasure, and then looked at Jiang Jingyue and asked.
“Xiao Jing, why didn’t you tell your mother about what happened? If you had told your mother, she could have helped you.”
Jiang Jingyue told Fei Leng to let go of her, and she ran to Madam Jiang's side, took Madam Jiang's hand, and said to her in a coquettish tone.
"Mother, this was just an accident, but I'm already pregnant. Could you please persuade Father to let me be with him?"
Upon hearing Jiang Jingyue's words, Madam Jiang subconsciously glared at Jiang Yu, then pulled Jiang Jingyue and walked into the mansion.
"If there's anything we need to talk about, let's go inside. The outside isn't the place to talk."
When they arrived at the Jiang residence, Madam Jiang asked Jiang Jingyue to sit down and talk. Jiang Jingyue subconsciously tugged at Fei Leng.
Fei Leng didn't know what Jiang Jingyue meant, so he immediately pulled Jiang Jingyue into his arms and asked in a low voice.
"Xiao Jing, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? If you are, you must tell me."
It was only then that Madam Jiang realized that the person who had been following her daughter was actually the Emperor, something she had never expected.
"You...you are the Emperor...Although Lady Jiang likes handsome men, she is somewhat face-blind."
To most people, these people all look similar, which is why she didn't recognize the person in front of her as the Emperor at first glance.
