Jiang Ning remembered the words spoken by the Prince of Yu at the teahouse.
He said that as long as he wanted, he could take her back.
He meant to go directly to the Grand Commander.
How naive!
Did he think that with the Imperial Edict, she would give up her comfortable life in the Jiang Family and shamefully follow him back to the Prince of Yu’s residence?
He must be thinking about the child in her belly.
Jiang Ning laughed: “What does father think?”
“I came to ask for your opinion.” Jiang Ruobai said, “Since the Imperial Edict has arrived, the Prince of Yu will definitely visit to apologize. When that happens, you should accept his apology first. Our Jiang family’s daughter can’t be bullied for nothing.”
Jiang Yi nodded: “That’s exactly what I meant.”
Jiang Ruobai looked at him: “Shouldn’t you be returning to the Academy?”
“I have to see the Prince of Yu apologize to my sister before I leave.”
“You have plenty of excuses. The examinations are in two months, you should prepare well and not be distracted by the family’s affairs.”
“Father, don’t worry. As the eldest brother-in-law, how can I not be present for such a grand scene like the Prince of Yu apologizing?”
Jiang Ning faintly said: “Third Brother is really nosy.”
“This is about showing concern for you.”
“But I don’t want to go back.”
“If you don’t want to go back, then don’t.” Jiang Yi said, “We can accept the apology, but going back is impossible.”
“Stop instigating! Let your sister decide for herself.” Jiang Ruobai glared at his son, “She won’t marry Wenren Zong, do you plan to have her widowed for the rest of her life? If the Prince of Yu sincerely apologizes and doesn’t bully her anymore after returning, this matter is negotiable.”
Jiang Ning shook her father’s sleeve: “But I want to stay by my mother’s side and not leave.”
This sentence made Lin Zizi, who had just entered the room, burst into tears.
She rushed over to hug Jiang Ning: “No one can force my obedient daughter to leave. Jiang Ruobai, you didn’t appreciate my daughter back then. Now you let her get married, but who knew the Prince of Yu would be so incompetent? Her husband’s family treats her badly, and you still force her to go back. You might as well drive both of us, mother and daughter, to death!”
Jiang Ruobai hurriedly said: “Madam, don’t be angry, don’t get excited. I absolutely won’t force our daughter to go back. It’s up to her to decide.”
“Daughter, you have to make your own decision.” Lin Zizi said.
“For now, I don’t want to go back.” Jiang Ning was quite content being surrounded by Lin Zizi’s fragrant and soft embrace, “I’m pregnant, and there are several concubines in his residence who are not easygoing. What if they upset me? I think, at least not until the child is born.”
Lin Zizi asked: “Do the concubines in your residence bully you?”
“I’m so innocent, what if I’m secretly harmed?”
“Makes sense.” Jiang Yi nodded, “When the Prince of Yu comes, let’s have him kick all the concubines out.”
This family really dares to think big.
Although Jiang Ning was touched, she found it funny as well.
Could the Jiang family be so overbearing as to force a prince to drive away his own concubines?
Nowadays, the two brothers of the Jiang family hold high positions, with the elder brother being a general holding military power and the second child being the Prime Minister with great influence in the Imperial Court.
Invincible and arrogant.
But Jiang Ning felt that the current glory couldn’t last long, and being so overbearing would certainly not be tolerated by the royal family.
After all, the royal family is not a charity, how could they watch idly as the Jiang family climbed onto their necks?
Today the Jiang family can force the Prince of Yu to visit and apologize, who knows if in the future they could also force the Emperor to do something?
Jiang Ning felt that the Jiang family was in danger.
But the Jiang family members seemed to have no sense of it.
Even a cornered dog would jump over a wall, let alone a prince’s son.
They must know when to stop and not push people too far..
