Chapter 135 - 135: All These Messes Were Made by His Women
“She doesn’t know, she’s just suspicious.” Jiang Ning lay down, “Ms. Zhao has always been arrogant, but suddenly sent osmanthus honey to Ms. Li, so Ms. Li must be suspicious. She can act as if she doesn’t know anything.”
“That is to say, whether there is poison or not, she has nothing to do with it.”
“That’s right.”
“This Li Teng is really amazing behind her delicate appearance,” Huang Ying said softly. “Prince of Yu must also be clear in his heart. Li Teng knew there might be a problem with the pastry, but still sent it to the Princess Consort. You also thought there was a problem with the pastry, so you picked it up and offered it to the Prince. No wonder the Prince was even more angry at you.”
“He clearly favors Li Yuanyuan.”
“You don’t care about the life and death of the Prince, how can the Prince favor you?” Huang Ying laughed.
“It’s better for him to take the risk than for me,” Jiang Ning said. “In order to uncover this issue, someone must eat it. I wouldn’t eat it myself, nor do I want any of you to eat it. So, Li Hongyuan is the one to eat it. After all, these troubles were caused by his women.”
Huang Ying said, “Never mind the others, it’s just that Li Teng… holds an unusual position in the Prince’s heart. She’s clearly not a simple character, yet the Prince only punished her by withholding three months’ allowance.”
“It’s understandable. After all, Li Yuanyuan was targeting me, not him. It shows that Li Yuanyuan still loves him. But I’m different, I’m targeting him, so he definitely can’t stand it.”
Just as the master and servant were chatting, Dongxie lifted the curtain and entered, saying, “Miss, there is news from the Prime Minister’s Mansion that the Fifth Daughter and Sixth Miss were beaten.”
“Who did it?”
“It might be Princess Ling’an.”
“Just let them be beaten, and fight back if need be.”
Jiang Ning knew Jiang Yuan was not an easy target.
Dongxie continued, “This time it was a sneak attack, and it was very severe. The Fifth Daughter’s leg was broken.”
“Broken?”
“Quite severe.”
“Oh,” Jiang Ning nodded, “Do you know the reason?”
Dongxie said, “Princess Ling’an and Fifth Daughter have always been at odds, but it’s just been minor disputes and they’ve never taken such a malicious action. People from the Mansion said that it was because of a pair of shoes.” “Oh, the shoes from the store?” Jiang Ning understood.
Jiang Yuan and she had snatched the shoes, and Princess Ling’an was furious, so she had Jiang Yuan beaten and even broke her leg. It was clearly a warning to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning fell silent.
Huang Ying hurriedly comforted her, “Presumably, Prime Minister Jiang will seek justice for the Fifth Daughter.”
“Prime Minister Jiang is not the kind of person who would fall out with the Marquis of Nan’an over this matter,” Jiang Ning stretched lazily, “I’m sleepy, time to sleep.”
Dongxie was stunned.
She thought the Princess Consort would stand up for the Fifth Daughter.
But she just went to sleep.
So they tidied up and went to bed.
Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching.
Jiang Ning mentioned that it had been a long time since she had gone out for a stroll, and she wanted to go shopping, see a play, and listen to a story.
She applied to Li Hongyuan, but was immediately refused.
He gave her a word, “You should stay in my circle obediently and not think about going anywhere before you give birth.”
He said that, but Jiang Ning didn’t care.
While Prince of Yu was in the palace, she sent a message to the Prime Minister’s Mansion, and soon the carriage from the Prime Minister’s Mansion came to Prince Yu’s Mansion and took her away.
With Prince of Yu not in the Mansion, no one else dared to stop her.
That was Prime Minister Jiang’s carriage, and with the Princess Consort heavily pregnant, who would dare to touch her?
Upon returning to the Jiang Mansion, she went to see Jiang Yuan first.
Jiang Yuan was lying in bed, holding a doll and stabbing it hard with a needle.
Jiang Ning pushed her wheelchair over and said, “Even if you stab the doll to shreds, it won’t hurt a single hair on Princess Ling’an..”
