PREGNANT BEFORE THE ROYAL MARRIAGE

Chapter 913: Chapter 913: The House Has a Brave Wife_1

But Aunt Liu was different.

She originally came from a merchant family, forming a shrewd and fierce temperament.

Throughout the decade when the legitimate daughter went missing, the mistress was unable to manage the household. Hence, all the affairs of the Jiang Family’s second house were handled solely by Aunt Liu.

She was not only clever but also resourceful.

Giving this hot potato to her was more than appropriate.

Jiang Ning felt reassured upon learning this.

Perhaps they couldn’t act against the Empress for the time being, but there would be a day.

Keeping Shuihua, this little pawn, might be useless, or it might come in handy.

As for the future, who could tell?

But it’s always good to be prepared.

By the time the Empress woke up and wanted to take Shuihua back into her own hands, it was already too late.

Jiang Ning’s response was so fast that she could not take any countermeasures at all.

This agitated the Empress greatly and she had even less patience with Jiang Ning.

As for Princess Ling’an, Jiang Ning was extremely generous and kindly, personally asking the Emperor to let Princess Ling’an go home.

After all, she came from a noble lineage. A slight punishment was acceptable, but how could she be kept in the East Palace as a servant forever?

It would only dishearten the Prince of Wutong.

When the Prince of Wutong received the news, he was arguing with the princess consort at home.

The prince had a violent temper and the princess consort, driven by a strong maternal affection, was even more irascible. The two argued loudly at home, smashing cups and saucers all over the floor.

Several concubines tried to mediate in fear.

“Princess Consort, please calm down,” one of the bolder concubines spoke up. “The princess went to the palace to serve the Crown Prince after all, and even if the prince wanted to intervene, it would be inappropriate. Why not entreat Her Highness the Empress?”

The Princess Consort slapped her backhand and scolded her, pointing at her nose, “You think that if Ling’an is not at home, the Prince will dote on your illegitimate daughter? Don’t dream! There’s only one legitimate daughter in this family, who has been pampered since childhood. If anything happens to her, none of you will have a good time in this mansion!”

The concubine held her face, not daring to utter a word.

The Prince of Wutong frowned, “All of you, get out! You’re all eyesores!”

The concubines quickly withdrew and left.

The princess consort sat down by the bed and began to sob, “I don’t care, even if I have to risk my life, I want my daughter back. She was beaten with several sticks, her wounds have not yet healed. And now, I don’t know what punishment awaits her. Whenever I think of my daughter enduring physical torture, how can I not feel heartbroken!”

The Prince of Wutong’s face was as calm as still water and his eyes seemed to hide a dark storm, apparently pondering over something.

Until the housekeeper rushed in and reported what had happened in the palace.

The Princess Consort looked up in surprise, “Is it true, the Emperor is willing to let Ling’an come home?”

The steward was overjoyed and wiped away his previous gloom, “Indeed, I have been prying for the news all along. Just now, I received a message from inside that the princess consort requested the emperor to let the county lord return home at the Crystal Frost Hall.”

“The princess consort?”

The prince and the princess consort both looked at each other, confusion clear in their eyes.

The exultant princess consort, who had stood up from her seat, sat back down hesitantly, “Why would the princess consort do this? She has always been at odds with our Ling’an, hasn’t she? Could it be…”

“Don’t judge others by your own measure. Maybe the princess consort is a magnanimous person?” Excited, the Prince of Wutong made a big wave of his hand, uttering words that irritated his fierce wife.

The Princess Consort was furious: “Am I narrow-minded?”
