Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage

Chapter 222 - 222:1 Can Be Like Him Too



He seemed to have been hit.

High and mighty as he was, proud and arrogant as he was, he never thought that one day he would be inferior to a minister.

In terms of status, ability, and appearance, no one in Chang’an City could compare with him.

He thought that as long as he wanted something, he could just beckon for it, or even without a gesture, just a glance or a movement, and obtain it easily.

But he didn’t expect that this woman had already silently fallen in love with someone else.

The person he liked did not like him back; this feeling was too terrible.

“Jiang Ning, do you understand what I’m saying?”

Jiang Ning gripped her hairpin, “Fine, I got it. You can go now.”

She just wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.

Li Hongyuan stood still: “Jiang Ning, whatever you like about Wenren Zong, I can be the same.”

Jiang Ning couldn’t help but look at him.

At this moment, Jiang Yi’s voice came from outside: “Seventh Sister!”

Ah, the rescuer was here.

Jiang Ning’s spirit uplifted, “Third Brother, I’m fine!”

While saying she was fine, she was actually letting Jiang Yi know that she was here.

Sure enough, Jiang Yi soon came to knock on the door.

Jiang Ning wanted to open the door but was afraid that Li Hongyuan might go crazy again, so she looked at him.

Li Hongyuan looked deeply into her eyes, then turned around and walked to the door and opened it.

Jiang Yi rushed in, saw him, paused, and then looked at Jiang Ning.

Huang Ying and Xiaoman, as well as a few maids, stood outside with tense and frightened faces, ready to rush in at any time.

Without saying a word, Li Hongyuan left.

“Seventh Sister, are you alright?” Jiang Yi asked Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning shook her head: “I’m fine.”

“What did the Prince of Yu come here for?”

“To discuss something.”

“What’s the matter that needs to be discussed in a closed room?” Jiang Yi looked her up and down, “Did you cry? Your eyes are red. Did the Prince of Yu bully you?”

His question was very innocent, but when listened to by Jiang Ning, it wasn’t the same thing.

After all, such a thing happened last night.

“No!” She glared at her brother.

Jiang Yi was somewhat baffled, but since she looked fine, he put his mind at ease.

“Brother, didn’t you go to drink with your colleagues? Why did you come back so soon?”

“Fifth Sister sent someone to tell me that the Prince of Yu was here, and he did not come with good intentions. I was afraid he was going to take my nephew away, so I hurried back. What you talked about wasn’t about my nephew, was it?”

“No.”

“That’s good… then what was it about?”

“Nothing, just… I went out with Wenren Zong, he found out, and came to ask.”

“Is that so? I knew the Prince of Yu still had ill intentions towards you.” Jiang Yi pulled her to sit down, “Sister, tell your brother seriously, do you still think of being with him?”

“Absolutely not.”

“Since that’s the case, you should marry sooner, so you don’t drag things out with him. The Prince of Yu coming here every few days clearly means he’s still thinking about you. As long as you don’t marry, he won’t give up.”

“It’s not that easy to get married.”

“Aren’t you and Wenren Zong getting along well? Our families have a good relationship, just marry him.”

“I haven’t thought it through yet.” Jiang Ning pushed him, “Leave me alone.”

“Alright, alright, you think it over carefully.”

“Has Father not returned yet?”

“No, he went to drink with the officials of the Six Ministries.” Jiang Yi’s expression turned solemn, “Recently there has been a lot of movement from the King of Chen. Since the two nephews were born, His Majesty has been intending to establish a crown prince, and the King of Chen probably can’t sit still. When you go out, go alone and don’t bring the child. In our Prime Minister’s Mansion, they are safe..”
