无翼乌工口里番无色无摭挡

On the way back, Jiang Ning leaned against the carriage dozing off when suddenly the curtain was lifted, and Li Hongyuan entered.

She glanced at him and ignored him.

Li Hongyuan sat across from her, looking at her yawning, and coldly said, “Tell me, whose child is it?”

Jiang Ning stopped yawning in astonishment: “What did you say?”

“Whose child is it?”

“Isn’t it yours?”

“Heh.” Li Hongyuan lowered his head and chuckled, “Are you really that foolish, or do you think I am as foolish as you? Do you really think I would believe your lies?”

He moved slightly closer to her, gazing into her eyes, “That night, we did not share a bed. You know this better than I do.”

Jiang Ning coughed lightly, “What about the wedding handkerchief…”

Li Hongyuan pinched her fingers tightly, “Where did the scar on this finger come from?”

“I cut it while slicing fruit.”

“Not a single word of truth from your mouth.” Li Hongyuan sat straight, “I’m sorry, I had someone check it, the blood on the handkerchief wasn’t from you losing your virginity. It was…”

“Shut up!” Jiang Ning yelled in embarrassment and anger.

Li Hongyuan stopped, then sneered coldly, “You did such a thing, but you don’t dare to hear people talk about it.”

“What are you talking about? Get out!”

“This is my carriage. If anyone should leave, it’s you.” Li Hongyuan’s voice was cold and cruel, “Don’t try to use your cunning to manipulate others. Judging by your behavior during this time, you must have been pregnant for more than a month.”

Jiang Ning remained silent.

Li Hongyuan said, “It seems that you were already carrying a bastard child before marrying into the Wang family.”

“Indeed, it’s a bastard.” Jiang Ning replied calmly, “Since Your Highness is so clever, I’m sure you can find out who the child’s real father is.”

“I don’t care about such trivial matters. As for this bastard, just abort it.”

“If you dare to do that, I guarantee you’ll regret it.”

“Still playing mysterious at this point.”

“Why don’t Your Highness use your clever mind to think about where I was living before I returned to the Jiang family, and who I came into contact with every day.”

Upon hearing this, Li Hongyuan’s expression changed slightly as if he thought of something.

Xiaoqian told him that Emperor Father had been eating at Jiang Ning’s restaurant for over two months.

Given Emperor Father’s infatuation with Lin Zizi back then, would he have been tempted when he saw this girl who looked so much like Lin Zizi?

Could it be that this child… was Emperor Father’s?

Li Hongyuan was shocked by this guess, his face pale.

He had married his own father’s woman; what was going on?

Li Hongyuan felt like flipping the carriage in a rage.

He wanted to throw this woman out of the carriage and make her abort the child immediately.

Despite the turmoil in his heart, his face remained calm. After a long silence, he asked, “Does Emperor Father know about this?”

“He probably does.”

“Good, very good.” Li Hongyuan was so angry that he laughed.

What on earth did that old man want to do?

Was he afraid of the Queen Mother and his concubine mother, so he didn’t dare to bring a new woman to the palace?

That was just too cowardly!

Even if he was cowardly, he shouldn’t have let him marry her.

Wasn’t this a mess of seniority?

He began to doubt if he was really the Emperor’s son.

What kind of father would do this to their own son?

Li Hongyuan felt like he was going to explode from anger.

Take a deep breath.

Another deep breath.

He suppressed his anger and coldly said, “When we get back, abort the child immediately.”

Jiang Ning looked at him in surprise.

He didn’t want his own child?

Didn’t the royal family place great importance on heirs?
