ALL NOVEL Chapter 27
Chapter 27
“So, you still want to marry into the Huainan Mansion, right?”
“Me?”
Hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, Jiang Ruyun wanted to refute, but as she looked into her sister’s seemingly all-knowing eyes, she couldn’t bring herself to say anything against her heart.
She decided to admit it directly, “Yes, I still want to marry Brother Zhao.”
Seeing Jiang Peihuan’s expression growing darker, Jiang Ruyun’s voice gradually weakened, “Big Sister, in my current situation, who else could I marry if not Brother Zhao?”
Jiang Ruyun covered her face with a handkerchief and cried bitterly.
Jiang Peihuan sat on the chair, watching Jiang Ruyun’s tears with cold eyes. When the crying finally subsided, she said softly, “Stop crying.”
“Since you want to marry into the Huainan Mansion, let’s start making arrangements.”
Lu Er, go and invite Second Madam over. ”
“Yes, Young Miss.”
Hearing this, Jiang Ruyun stopped crying and looked at Jiang Peihuan with her red, swollen eyes. Jiang Peihuan, sitting on the mahogany chair, didn’t look at her but gently tapped the armrest at her side.
“Young Miss, Second Madam has arrived.”
“Second Aunt.”
Hearing the voice, Jiang Peihuan stood up and bowed to Zhou Rongfang. She quickly supported Jiang Peihuan, “Huanhuan, don’t be so polite.”
“Please, sit down.”
Then Zhou Rongfang took a seat nearby, looking at the calm and composed Jiang Peihuan, she said eagerly, “Huanhuan, I heard that you have a way to let Yun Er marry into the Huainan Mansion, is that true?”
“Second Aunt, you’ve seen the attitude of the Huainan Mansion. Do you still want Ruyun to marry their prince?”
Thinking of the Zhao family’s attitude, Zhou Rongfang’s eyes filled with anger. But considering Jiang Ruyun’s current situation and Jiang Yuan’s position, she couldn’t care less.
Looking at Jiang Peihuan, Zhou Rongfang whispered, “Huanhuan, Yun Er is already in this state. If she doesn’t marry the Huainan Prince, who else can she marry?”
“Since that’s the case, I will let Second Aunt handle this matter.”
Hearing the similar words from both mother and daughter, Jiang Peihuan spoke softly, “By tomorrow, I want the news of the servant girl in the Huainan Prince’s Mansion giving birth to the eldest son to spread throughout the entire capital.”
Before the mistress entered the house, the servant girl gave birth to the eldest son. This was a big taboo in the noble families.
Once this news spread, no one in the capital would dare to marry their daughter into the Huainan Mansion.
However, upon hearing this, Zhou Rongfang’s eyes showed hesitation. “Huanhuan, once this matter is exposed, the Huainan Mansion will surely know it was us. After Yun Er marries into their family, will they still treat her well?”
Hearing this, Jiang Peihuan’s eyes held a hint of mockery. When her second aunt had spread rumors about her, she wasn’t worried in the slightest. Now that it concerned Jiang Ruyun, she suddenly became cautious.
But looking at Zhou Rongfang, Jiang Peihuan asked sincerely, “Second Aunt, even without this incident, would they treat Ruyun well if she married into the Huainan Mansion?”
“Father, Second Uncle, and Third Uncle will return to the capital soon. When that time comes, even if the Huainan Mansion has objections, he won’t dare to do anything to Ruyun.”
“Yes, our eldest uncle will be back soon. With him around, the Huainan Mansion won’t dare to act recklessly.”
“I’ll make the arrangements right away.”
With that, Zhou Rongfang left with the maid, leaving only Jiang Peihuan and Jiang Ruyun in the room. After some thought, Jiang Peihuan softly asked, “Even if the Prince of Huainan treats you poorly in the future, will you still marry him?”
Hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, Jiang Ruyun’s eyes filled with doubt and hesitation, but she nodded and defended herself softly, “Brother Zhao was very kind to me before. I believe that after Uncle returns, the Huainan Mansion won’t make things difficult for me, out of respect for Uncle.”
Forget it.
She had said all that she could.
Even if she had been reborn, she could only offer guidance; she couldn’t live someone else’s life.
“Since you’ve already thought it through, take good care of yourself.”
After she finished speaking, Jiang Peihuan slowly stood up. Ye Xiao and Lu Er followed her.
“Big sister?”
Jiang Ruyun sat on the bed and looked at Jiang Peihuan, who had walked to the door. She suddenly called out. Hearing the voice behind her, Jiang Peihuan stopped and turned her head, but she didn’t say anything, only gazing at her.
“Big Sister, thank you.”
“Also, I was muddle-headed about what happened before. I apologize to you for that.”
Hearing this, Jiang Peihuan’s eyes revealed a touch of surprise, and the coldness in her eyes softened.
After being reborn, some things were changed.
“Let the past stay in the past.”
“However, I hope you won’t regret marrying into the Huainan King’s Mansion.”
As soon as Zhou Rongfang had arranged for people to spread the rumors, Han Feng hurried into his master’s study.
Upon opening the door, Han Feng saw his master drawing with a brush. Walking closer, he saw the woman in the painting was dressed in green, her black hair tied up with a single hairband. The black whip in her hand swung in a beautiful arc.
The person in the painting was Jiang Peihuan.
Han Feng stood quietly to the side. After Xiao Nanye put down the brush, he handed over a towel.
Xiao Nanye took the towel and carefully wiped the ink off his fingertips. Then, he looked at Han Feng. “What’s the rush?”
“Master, the news of the Huainan Prince’s eldest son being born has already spread.”
“Oh, really?”
“Was it her doing?”
“It wasn’t Eldest Miss. It was the Second Madam of the General’s Mansion. However, I heard from Ye Xiao that it was Eldest Miss’s idea.”
“Master, what do you think Eldest Miss is planning?”
“No matter what she wants to do, I will help her. You go. Within half an hour, I want this news to spread throughout the capital.”
“Yes, I’ll make the arrangements right away.”
Hearing Xiao Nanye’s words, Han Feng smiled and hurried off.
Huainan Mansion.
“What on earth is happening?”
King Zhao Yang of Huainan looked at Chu Rou, who was sitting beside him, his eyes filled with anger.
Over the years, he had distanced himself from court politics, which had endeared him to the Emperor. The Emperor often invited him to accompany him during his trips to the palace.
However, this time, he was sent back by the Emperor halfway through, instructing him to manage the affairs of the mansion first.
Zhao Yang was confused. He only heard about this after entering the city. When he heard the news, he almost died of anger.
“Your Highness, I never expected the Jiang family to openly spread the news.”
“How can you even say that? If it wasn’t for your decision to have Qing Er call off the marriage, the Jiang family wouldn’t have taken such actions.”
“Your Highness, you didn’t see the arrogance of those girls from the Jiang family. They not only hurt Lan Zhi but also injured the guards within the mansion. Moreover, Jiang Ruyun has already lost the child she was carrying. With the child gone, how can Qing Er still marry her?”
