Chapter 5: The Crown Princess is Pregnant with a Bastard
"What did you see? You're just barking like a dog. Qingqing didn't say a word just now."
Shen Yutang covered his cheek.
I couldn't help but take a step back.
Only then dare to talk back.
"But... you and your aunt have always been good friends. If she hadn't deliberately instigated it, how could the two of you suddenly start fighting?"
…
The entrance to the yard.
As Shen Yan approached, he saw a dispute in the courtyard.
Butler Sun followed beside him and said nervously.
"My Lord, it seems the Madam is arguing with the Crown Prince again. Would you like to go over and mediate?"
Shen Yan looked at the arrogant figure in the yard, and was not in a hurry to go in. He just gave an order.
"Go get Madam a box of Jade Dew Cream, so she doesn't get her hands swollen from slapping herself."
Butler Sun: “?”
…
Over there.
Jiang Wanning didn't notice that Shen Yan was looking at him.
Facing Shen Yutang's questioning, she knew that her slap was a bit abrupt. After all, Liu only told her the words, and others didn't know what was going on.
But from now on.
There was no way she would let this old white lotus dance in front of her again.
"Liu is not a good person. She cursed me to death! She is a slut herself and can't blame others."
Upon hearing this, Liu immediately denied it.
Looking at Shen Yutang with tears in her eyes.
"I didn't... Yutang, your mother is my cousin, how could I possibly curse her?"
Shen Yutang also felt that Liu would not say such a thing.
I couldn't help but help defend it.
"Mother, did you hear wrongly? My aunt is a kind person and would never say anything bad."
When Jiang Wanning saw this filial son with his elbows sticking out, he wanted to kick him!
Sooner or later he will be whipped into a spinning top.
"She said my face was as pale as death. Isn't that just a curse for me to die?"
Shen Yutang glanced at Jiang Wanning's slightly pale face.
He said in a low voice.
"Auntie, that's not what she meant..."
Jiang Wanning curled the corners of his mouth, smiling with his face but not his heart.
"Shen Yutang, you're calling me aunt all the time, and you're so affectionate... Otherwise, just stop recognizing me as your mother. I'll find you a new mother so that you two, a loving mother and son, can be reunited soon. What do you think?"
Shen Yutang was frightened by her laughter and dared not say anything else.
The situation was a bit deadlocked for a while.
But Liu was not willing to give up.
She didn't go to Lanxin Garden last night, and actually asked the stupid woman Jiang to help that little bitch Murong Qing to bully her daughter.
She wanted to vent her anger for her daughter today, but she didn't expect to be slapped in the face as soon as she arrived!
Seeing that Jiang could not be relied upon, Liu turned her gaze to Shen Yutang and raised her hand to slap herself in the mouth.
"It's all my fault for talking nonsense and making my sister angry. I deserve to be beaten, I deserve to be beaten..."
"Mother!"
"aunt……"
Murong Yan'er and Shen Yutang's expressions changed slightly, and they both reached out to stop him.
Shen Yan then walked into the yard and asked.
"What happened?"
Seeing the Marquis come out, Liu covered her cheeks with her hands, looking aggrieved and self-blaming.
"I said the wrong thing and angered my sister... My Lord, please don't blame my sister!"
Jiang Wanning: "Tsk."
The mother and daughter are indeed the same type of green tea.
Even the tea tastes the same.
Shen Yan didn't react much to this, his face looked indifferent, and he obviously didn't buy it.
"Then be careful with your words next time. Madam has a bad temper, so try not to provoke her."
"Well……"
Liu's tone paused.
She wanted to say something else, but she saw Shen Yan had already turned and walked into the dining room without even giving her a glance.
As a last resort, Liu had to shut up and dared not do it again.
Seeing Liu being humiliated, Jiang Wanning finally began to like Chen Yan a lot more. He felt that Chen Yan was a decent person who could speak human language.
Unlike that rebellious son who just barks all day long.
Holding his daughter-in-law's hand, Jiang Wanning followed her in.
"Qingqing, you must be hungry... Let's go in and have dinner. You look so skinny, you need to eat more meat."
"Um……"
Murong Qing nodded.
I was obviously feeling very aggrieved just now, but now it seems that I am not feeling so uncomfortable anymore.
…
During meals.
Jiang Wanning asked Murong Qing to sit next to him.
On the other side is Shen Yutang.
However, Shen Yutang only picked up some food for Murong Yan'er and carefully helped her pick out the bones from the fish.
Jiang Wanning couldn't bear it anymore and spoke up.
"Pick some fish for Qingqing, too. Make sure it's boneless."
Shen Yutang, however, had an indifferent tone.
"She doesn't like fish."
Jiang Wanning put down the chopsticks in his hand, turned around and looked at him with burning eyes, and asked back.
"How do you know Qingqing doesn't like fish?"
"Well."
In fact, Shen Yutang had never paid attention to whether Murong Qing liked to eat fish or not, he just said it casually.
I didn't expect my mother to get to the bottom of it.
After a pause, Shen Yutang couldn't bear her gaze anymore and changed the subject.
"Mother, you don't have to worry about her... She's not a child anymore, she can pick up the food by herself."
Hearing this.
Jiang Wanning knocked away the chopsticks he was using to pick out fish bones.
I don't want to see him disgusting people here anymore, all day long. Who is he being considerate to?
"Yan'er also has hands, why don't you ask her to pinch them herself?"
Shen Yutang watched as the chopsticks flew out of his hand and hit Yan'er's chin, but Yan'er just pursed her lips and dared not say a word.
He couldn't help but darken his eyes.
I feel like my mother has been acting really weird these past two days.
He clearly hated Murong Qing so much before, but now he protects her like a calf and always finds fault with her!
He even suspected that Murong Qing had cast some kind of spell on her.
"Mother, why are you so angry for no reason? Yan'er caught a cold and hasn't fully recovered yet. She's also a guest in our house, so it's only natural for me to take care of her... Aren't these the things you told me before?"
Jiang Wanning raised his hand: "You scream again?"
She doesn't acknowledge the bad things the original owner did.
Anyway, she has the final say now.
If her son's finger was crooked, she would try her best to bend it back into place. If it broke accidentally... then so be it.
After all, she has never had any patience or good temper towards such blind and heartless creatures as scumbags.
Shen Yutang: "..."
On the edge.
Seeing that Jiang Wanning's temper was directed at Yan'er, Liu didn't want to argue with her in front of the Marquis.
He picked up a piece of fat and put it in Murong Qing's bowl.
Make a motherly face.
"Qingqing really doesn't like fish. She's loved fatty meat since she was little, saying it's delicious... Qingqing, don't you agree?"
As she spoke, Liu glared at Murong Qing, reminding her to be more sensible.
Murong Qing was used to being bullied, so he didn't dare to disobey her.
I also don't want to cause a quarrel between my husband and mother-in-law because of me.
But the piece of fat in the bowl was too greasy. Before she could open her mouth, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and turn her head away.
"vomit……"
Liu's face turned cold on the spot.
Seeing this, Jiang Wanning immediately picked up the piece of fat from Murong Qing's bowl, threw it back into Liu's bowl, and cursed.
"You have to eat it yourself. You only like fatty meat. Your whole family loves it!"
Who are you torturing here in such a sinister way?
He even dared to play tricks in front of her, thinking that no one loved her as his daughter-in-law.
Liu's face froze and she glanced at Chen Yan.
But the Marquis didn't look at her, but asked someone to change a pair of chopsticks for Jiang Wanning.
Liu: “…”
Jiang Wanning didn't notice Shen Yan's action, but subconsciously turned to look at Murong Qing and said with concern.
"Qingqing, are you feeling unwell?"
"No……"
Seeing that everyone at the table was looking at him, Murong Qing couldn't help feeling a little awkward.
He quickly waved his hands, trying to explain.
"I just have no appetite..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Murong Qing couldn't help but cover his mouth with a handkerchief and started to retch.
Seeing this, an idea flashed through Jiang Wanning's mind.
Could this unlucky girl be pregnant?
But she remembered that in the original book, Murong Qing didn't get pregnant so early.
After the fire in the ancestral hall, Shen Yutang's attitude towards her became extremely cold. At Murong Yan'er's instigation, he even considered divorcing her.
Until the beginning of the next month, Shen Yutang was assassinated at a palace banquet, and Murong Qing blocked the knife for him.
The relationship between the two quickly heated up, and after several spring breezes, they had a child.
However……
After Murong Qing diagnosed her with pregnancy, Shen Yutang refused to acknowledge the baby in her belly.
He even insisted that she was pregnant with a bastard.
Thinking of this, Jiang Wanning couldn't help but want to slap this bastard twice!
He is not worthy of being a father.
On the side, seeing Murong Qing vomiting violently, Liu, as an experienced person, seemed to have noticed that something was wrong.
I couldn't help but ask tentatively.
"Qingqing, you're... maybe you're having morning sickness?"
