无翼乌工口里番无色无摭挡

“If you get divorced) it will affect my and Sixth Miss’s reputation. At least you’ve been married, but I haven’t!”

Jiang Ning laughed and said, “If a family thinks poorly of you because of this, it means their character is no good, and you should be grateful for their not marrying you.”

“Don’t talk nonsense.” Jiang Yuan snorted, “I’m telling you, if you get divorced, do you believe that Prince Yu will immediately marry another noble lady? By then, you’ll have nowhere to cry with regret.”

“Well, we’ll talk about that then.”

Jiang Ning calmly ate her watermelon.

She was extremely satisfied with her current situation.

Everyone knew she was pregnant, and the child was Prince Yu’s. The baby in her belly now had a legitimate origin and didn’t have to hide anymore.

She could give birth to the child with peace of mind.

Moreover, she didn’t have to return to Prince Yu’s residence, deal with his deadpan face, or put up with his multiple consorts.

It was just too perfect.

If she had any previous dissatisfaction with Jiang Ruobai for sending her to the selection, she was now deeply grateful.

This father of hers was simply a genius.

Going around, she got herself a title and a generous dowry.

Oh, come on.

Could there be a more profitable deal than this?

Jiang Ning was overjoyed and didn’t care about Prince Yu’s life or death at all.

A moment later, there was a commotion outside.

“Miss, Miss, we are back!”

Chunlai, Xiachu, Dongxie, and Jiang Fu’s family of three all returned with large and small packages.

Fifth Daughter and Sixth Miss were stunned.

She was really determined not to go back, bringing all her dowry maids with her.

“How did Prince Yu let you come back?” Jiang Yuan asked.

Chunlai replied, “We received a message from Miss that we should come back, so we packed up and returned. No one tried to stop us.”

“It’s strange that Prince Yu could tolerate this?”

Jiang Yuan and Jiang Yan both puzzled.

In fact, Prince Yu couldn’t bear it, of course.

First, he found out Jiang Ning had run home, followed her and tried to negotiate, but failed, leaving a threat behind. By the time he returned to his residence, the housekeeper informed him that all the maids in the Princess Consort’s room had left.

It wasn’t that he had agreed to let them go, but rather he hadn’t known at all.

How could Li Hongyuan not be furious?

He felt like he was going to be driven mad by Jiang Ning.

He rushed to Laurel Garden, only to find it empty.

“Did everyone leave?” He took a deep breath and asked the housekeeper coldly.

The housekeeper trembled, “Yes, yes, they all left, along with the people Jiang Ning brought in her dowry. They took everything they brought with them.” “Could they have taken all the dowry with just a few of them?”

“The dowry… this servant doesn’t know. It should be in the small storeroom.”

The small storeroom was locked, and not only locked but secured with five or six additional locks.

Considering her wealth, why did she need so many locks? How worried was she about someone coveting her belongings?

Looking at the row of locks, Li Hongyuan felt like smashing the door and strangling that woman before feeding her to the fishes in the pond.

He had never felt so humiliated in his entire life.

He thought he had calculated everything well—marrying the daughter of the Emperor’s young white moonlight—so he could gain favour with the old man. It would be an advantage in his struggle for the Imperial Throne.

Who knew he had been thoroughly tricked?

He was cuckolded, and the woman had fled.

Worse still, he couldn’t even publicize this matter.

The newlywed wife of the distinguished Prince Yu was pregnant with someone else’s child, a child who turned out to be his own father’s.

If this got out, wouldn’t he become the laughing stock of Chang’an City, no, the entire Great Sheng Dynasty?
