Chapter 431:1 Have Already Done It
“Ms. Ma is different. She’s a contradictory person. She hates and envies me, but she doesn’t dare to go against Li Jixian too much. So she can only vent her anger and hurt me, but she doesn’t dare to kill me directly.”
“These are all your speculations, all bets.”
“Life is a gamble.”
“…That’s simply absurd.” Li Hongyuan glared at her, this woman constantly shattered his worldview.
How could a woman be so bold and reckless?
“If something goes wrong, have you thought about the two children?”
“Even if I die now, they will be well taken care of and grow up in luxury.” Jiang Ning said indifferently, “For children of their status, when they grow up and become sensible, knowing that their mother is so different from others’ mothers would be the real hurt.”
“That’s you being oversensitive. A truly filial child would never be ashamed of their mother.”
“Whatever you say, I’ve done it anyway.” Jiang Ning smiled playfully, “It’s my choice, and I’m willing to bear all the consequences.”
Li Hongyuan felt that he couldn’t handle her.
She was too unpredictable, too cunning, and he could never guess or control her.
“Alright, I should go back.” Jiang Ning stood up, carefully straightening the folds of her skirt, wiping nonexistent dust off her embroidered shoes with a handkerchief, then stood up cheerfully and laughed, “I’ll pick you up in two days?”
“No, I’ll go to the Prime Minister’s Mansion to pick you and your children up.”
“The children are playing in Splendid Palace now. If you want to see them, I can bring them over.”
“No need.”
Li Hongyuan picked up his pen, “I can always see them. I don’t care about these few days. Also, take the food box with you.”
“What are you afraid of?” Jiang Ning glanced at his desk, swept all the classics, papers, and pens to the floor, then took a thin blanket from the wheelchair and spread it on the table.
The table was small, and the blanket covered the bottom of the table tightly on all four sides.
Jiang Ning casually put the food box and water bottle under the table, and laughed, “If you get hungry, take it out to eat, and put it back when you’re done. As long as no one sees it, it’s fine. I don’t believe that the soldiers at the door would dare come in and search your belongings.”
Li Hongyuan laughed, “With my current body, as long as there’s water, I can easily endure two days without food.”
“Your stomach will be starved. We don’t have to suffer for the sake of your Emperor father’s face. Eventually, the one who gets sick and miserable is still ourselves.” Jiang Ning said as she walked out. As she pushed the door open, she looked back and smiled, “Let’s enjoy our cooperation in advance.”
“Cooperation?”
Li Hongyuan was taken aback.
However, he didn’t get a reply, for Jiang Ning had already left.
Gucheng was pushing the wheelchair behind her.
The door wasn’t closed.
The Imperial Guards peered through the doorway, wanting to know if there was anything inside.
However, all he could see was Prince of Yu’s back, diligently writing.
Inside the hall, besides the memorial tablet at the front, there was only a small table and a man.
Nothing was hidden.
The soldier felt relieved and nodded to Jiang Ning, “Please return, Princess Consort.”
Jiang Ning’s smiling eyes, hands behind her back, walked into the warm April sunshine.
Splendid Palace.
Children’s laughter rang out from time to time.
Concubine Jin raised her delicate hand, covering her lips as she yawned, then glanced outside.
A palace maid brought tea.
Concubine Jin took a sip of the tea, rinsed her mouth and spat it into a silver plate, then took the tea presented by another maid and drank it..
