Back to the day I married my second wife, I turned around and married my ex-husband's uncle

Chapter 406 She is pregnant

After Jiang Xiru leaned against the wall and retched for a while, he hurried away without saying anything. Qi hurriedly chased after him.

Aunt Xin, who was sitting at the table, looked embarrassed and slowly put down her chopsticks. "Xiru is not feeling well. We need to ask a doctor to see her."

Jiang Bingde's face was extremely ugly, "Eat, no matter what!"

"If she feels unwell, the imperial physician will treat her."

Jiang Ningwan also said, "A lot has happened in the palace recently. It's not surprising that she's not in good health. Just let her take good care of herself. Aunt Xin doesn't need to worry about it."

Aunt Xin nodded, picked up her bowl and chopsticks and continued eating, but she was still a little timid and uneasy.

Jiang Bingde listened carefully, but he didn't know what had happened in the palace.

As soon as she came back, she even lost her position as the queen.

The Queen was so anxious to choose another wife for the eldest prince, it was obvious that Jiang Xiru must have made some intolerable mistake.

"Ningwan, after lunch, go talk to Aunt Xin. She just came back and is not familiar with anything in the mansion."

Jiang Ningwan nodded in agreement, "Okay."

After dinner, Jiang Renyan went to play by himself, and Jiang Ningwan took a walk and talked with Aunt Xin in the garden.

I caught a glimpse of Jiang Bingde heading towards Xiaoxiangju.

Normally, she would have prepared to go back after lunch, but now, she was not in such a hurry.

Jiang Ningwan waited until Jiang Bingde came out of Xiaoxiangju, and then she and Aunt Xin sat in the nearby garden and talked.

During the conversation, we learned that Aunt Xin was reluctant to come back. She only wanted Jiang Bingde as a person and raised his children without asking for anything in return.

Jiang Bingde felt that his home was empty and his heart was hollow, so he insisted on bringing Aunt Xin and Renyan back.

Just as I was thinking about it, Jiang Bingde's voice suddenly came from not far away.

"Ning Wan, come here."

Jiang Ningwan said hello to Aunt Xin and left.

Come to Jiang Bingde's study.

After sitting down, Jiang Bingde took out a brocade box and placed it in front of her.

"This is something I prepared for you a long time ago. You blamed me for the marriage that year, so I didn't have the chance to give it to you."

Jiang Ningwan opened it and took a look. Inside was a stack of land deeds, which should have belonged to more than a dozen shops.

"I'm surprised you're willing to come today. I guess you've forgiven me, father?"

Jiang Bingde spoke cautiously as he observed Jiang Ningwan's expression.

But Jiang Ningwan looked indifferent and didn't react much.

"You called me here just to tell me this?" Jiang Ningwan closed the brocade box calmly, not caring at all.

Jiang Bingde was silent for a moment, and said in a heavy tone: "I also want to ask you, what happened in the palace?"

"Xiru is pregnant, but she doesn't want to return to the palace."

Hearing this, the calm Jiang Ningwan's eyes flashed and she couldn't help but be startled.

"She's pregnant?"

Jiang Bingde nodded. "Just now, I went to Xiaoxiang Residence to see her and heard her talking to her mother. She is pregnant, no doubt. But this is the eldest prince's first child, and she wants to hide it!"

Jiang Ningwan narrowed her eyes slightly, as if thinking about something.

Jiang Xiru herself might not even be sure who this child belongs to.

"Ningwan, what exactly happened in the palace? Why was Xiru demoted to a concubine?"

Jiang Ningwan said calmly, "Ask her yourself. How would I know anything about her?"

Seeing that she spoke of Jiang Xiru with disgust, Jiang Bingde didn't dare to upset her again.

"Well...if you have time, can you come back often? Renyan likes you as a sister very much."

"You two can get closer. This child is smart and has learned some martial arts at such a young age. When he grows up, he can go to your army to gain some experience."

Jiang Bingde's tone was full of longing for the future and his love for Jiang Renyan.

Jiang Ningwan remained silent.

After a moment of silence, she slowly stood up and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll go back first."

"Aren't you staying for dinner?"

"No."

Jiang Bingde couldn't find an excuse to keep her any longer, so he got up and sent Jiang Ningwan away.

When she reached the front yard, Aunt Xin came to see her off and brought her a box of food.

"This is the sweet-scented osmanthus cake I made myself. I wonder if it suits your taste."

Jiang Ningwan took it and said, "Thank you."

Then he took out the brocade box and handed it to Aunt Xin, "This is for Renyan."

After taking the brocade box, Aunt Xin was a little confused.

But before he could thank her, Jiang Ningwan had already gone out, mounted his horse, and rode away.

Aunt Xin opened the brocade box and was shocked when she saw the land deeds.

Wasn't this something the Duke prepared for Ning Wan? He actually gave it to her again.

No wonder Jiang Ningwan reacted so calmly when she saw the mother and son today, unlike Jiang Xiru and her daughter who were throwing tantrums.

The less expectations you have, the calmer you will be.

Because it's none of my business.

She didn't even care about the things that others fought over, and they would be given to her at will.

Aunt Xin looked in the direction Jiang Ningwan left, seeming to be lost in thought.

……

Xiaoxiang Residence.

Jiang Bingde was furious.

"That's ridiculous! Being pregnant is no small matter, how can you keep it a secret? And how long can you keep it a secret?"

"Although you've been demoted to a concubine, you're still the eldest prince's. This child is his, so what's there to be ashamed of? Hiding it makes people feel weird!"

"You can't stay at home. I'm going to find the eldest prince and ask him to take you back to take care of the baby!"

Jiang Bingde had made up his mind, and after saying this, he turned around and was about to leave.

At this time, Jiang Xiru collapsed and knelt on the ground, grabbing Jiang Bingde's clothes.

"Dad! Dad! Please don't look for His Highness!"

"I accept Aunt Xin and Renyan, okay? Renyan will be my biological brother from now on, I will definitely not treat him unfairly! Just help me keep it a secret this time!"

When Jiang Bingde heard this, he felt a little soft-hearted.

It would be great if there is harmony in the family.

He turned around, his expression serious. "But how long can you keep it a secret? It will be discovered sooner or later. Why hide it?"

"What kind of irreconcilable conflict do you and His Highness have? How could he ignore even his own flesh and blood?"

Jiang Xiru pleaded, "I want to give birth to this child quietly! Dad, please help me!"

Apart from the Duke's Mansion, she had nowhere else to go, and she didn't know where to hide and give birth to the child.

She didn't dare let Qin Chengqian know that she was pregnant, because Qin Chengqian would definitely suspect that the child was Xie Yongan's and would definitely find ways to abort the child.

She gave birth to this child secretly. If Xie Yongan came to pick her up a year later as promised, then this child would be her capital to become the queen.

Qi also knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Duke, please help Xiru. She has suffered enough..."

"Give Fang Yunxin a legitimate status, and I won't say anything else!"

Even if you are extremely angry, you can only swallow your anger.

Jiang Bingde took a deep breath, thought it over again and again, and finally agreed.

"Get up."

"After all, she is pregnant, don't disturb the fetus."

After hearing this, Jiang Xiru breathed a sigh of relief.

With Qi's help, he slowly stood up and wiped the tears from his face, "Thank you, Dad."

A few days later.

The Duke's Mansion officially brought his concubine in.

Although she was just a concubine, her expenses were comparable to those of a wife and she enjoyed unlimited glory.

Jiang Renyan also returned to his ancestral home and became the young master of the Duke's Mansion, and the only son of Duke Jiang.

After Fang Yunxin officially married into the Duke's Mansion, she became the second wife and had half the power of a housekeeper, which also demonstrated the Duke's importance to her.

Everyone in the mansion treated her with great respect, knowing that Fang Yunxin would be the future mistress of the Duke's Mansion.

Because the title of Duke of this country will always be passed on to the son.

Qi's status in the mansion will never return to what it was before.
