Chapitre 20: We Meet Again
Éditeur: Dragon Boat Translation
"As long as I'm here, don't even think about setting food in the King Mansion."
Lan Zhi was able to give birth to this child safely, so she was naturally not easy to deal Hearing this, she didn't cry or cause a scene. She just hugged the child beside her.
"It doesn't matter if I go to the King Mansion or not. As long as the Second Young Lady treats the Eldest Young Master well, I would willingly die without a second thought."
"You…"
Hearing Lan Zhi's words, Jiang Ruyun's eyes filled with rage. She longed to kill Lan Zhi right then and there, but as soon as she tried to move, a sharp pain shot through her stomach.
"What's wrong?"
Noticing Jiang Ruyun clutch her stomach, Jiang Peihuan quickly reached out to support her.
"My stomach hurts."
"Nanny Xu, help Second Miss onto the carriage."
"Yes."
Seeing that Jiang Ruyun was still staring at Lan Zhi, Jiang Peihuan looked at her coldly and said. "Don't forget your current physical condition."
Thinking of the child in her belly, Jiang Ruyun reluctantly allowed Nanny Xu to help her onto the carriage.
"Lan Zhi, you've grown up in the King's Mansion. Do you know how they handle a servant girl who gives birth while serving in a prestigious household like this?"
What would happen?
They would be beat to death, of course.
If the child had already been born, they would keep the child and discard the mother.
Raising her head to look at Jiang Peihuan, Lan Zhi's face turned deadly pale.
Seeing the panic in her eyes, Jiang Peihuan continued, "I believe you're a clever person. You should know how to serve your mistress properly from now on. Go tell the Zhao family that the daughters of the Jiang family aren't easily bullied. We demand an explanation from the Prince of Huainan's Mansion."
With that, Jiang Peihuan stepped onto the carriage.
Watching the carriage depart, Lan Zhi felt as if she had been fished out of water, her head drenched in cold sweat. The second miss of the Jiang family didn't frighten her, but the eldest miss was truly terrifying.
No, she had to come up with a plan. Otherwise, she would never make a name for herself.
Lan Zhi ran back inside in a panic.
Jiang Ruyun, who was in the carriage, was no longer as arrogant as before. resembling a frostbitten eggplant.
She glanced at Jiang Peihuan from time to time, having many things to say, but upon seeing those dark eyes, she couldn't utter a word.
Jiang Peihuan, sitting opposite her, took the initiative to speak up. "What are your plans regarding this matter?"
"This has nothing to do with you, Eldest Sister. You don't need to worry about it."
Without thinking, Jiang Ruyun shouted directly. As soon as she said it, she regretted it, but it was too late.
Although she no longer had any hope for Jiang Ruyun, when she heard this, Jiang Peihuan's eyes revealed a hint of coldness. "If it weren't for you being a member of the Jiang family, who would care about you?"
The atmosphere in the carriage instantly dropped. At this moment, the carriage stopped.
Then, Nanny Xu's voice came from outside. " Eldest Miss. "
"What is it?"
Granny Xu didn't say anything. Jiang Peihuan lifted the curtain and saw Xiao Nanye sitting on his horse.
The man sat on his horse, looking at her with a smile in his eyes. "Miss, we meet again. What a coincidence."
Upon hearing this, the corners of Han Feng's mouth twitched as he sat on another horse.
His master was becoming increasingly good at lying. He had clearly seen the Jiang family's carriage and decided to followed them.
At this moment, Jiang Peihuan was truly speechless. She had no contact with this person in her previous life, so why did they keep crossing paths in this one?
"Does Your Highness King Cheng have any instructions?"
Jiang Peihuan nodded slightly at the man and asked softly.
She was just asking casually, but she did not expect the man on the horse to hear this and nod seriously. I do have something I need Miss's help with."
"Miss, you can treat it as repaying me for saving your life that day."
Jiang Peihuan, who was about to refuse, but she couldn't when she heard the words "life-saving grace" She could only look up at him. "What's the matter?"
"This requires you to accompany me. What do you think?"
After a moment of silence, Jiang Peihuan said directly to Nanny Xu, "Nanny, please send Second Miss back to the Jiang Mansion and inform Grandmother of this matter. Once I finish helping King Cheng, I'll return immediately."
"Yes, Young Miss."
Opening the carriage curtain, Jiang Peihuan jumped off.
Seeing her swift movements, Xiao Nanye raised his eyebrows and the smile in his eyes deepened. "I came out in a hurry and didn't prepare a carriage. I hope you don't mind riding with me."
As Xiao Nanye spoke, he reached out his hand to Jiang Peihuan.
However, she glanced at him and shook her head. "Thank you, Your Highness, but I have my own horse."
With that, Jiang Peihuan took a whistle from her waist, put it to her mouth, and blew it. The sound of the whistle echoed instantly, followed by the loud sound of galloping hooves.
A red horse appeared before Xiao Nanye. Seeing the horse, Jiang Peihuan smiled and said, "Lie Feng, come here."
Hearing Jiang Peihuan's voice, the horse neighed loudly and stopped steadily in front of her.
Petting Lie Feng's head, Jiang Peihuan stepped onto the stirrups and gracefully mounted the horse.
"Not a bad horse," Xiao Nanye remarked.
"Thank you for your praise, Your Highness. Lie Feng is indeed a fine horse."
"That's good. My own horse, Zhui Yun, is also quite impressive. I wonder, Miss Jiang, if you're in the mood for a friendly race. I've heard that the daughters of the Jiang family are skilled riders, surpassing even men. I'm sure you won't disappoint me."
Though Jiang Peihuan initially wanted to decline, she nodded upon hearing the mention of her family. "In that case, I hope you'll excuse my boldness."
She patted Lie Feng's neck, and sensing its master's intent, the horse took off. Xiao Nanye quickly followed, and soon, the two were riding side by side.
"Second Miss, let's return to the Mansion," Nanny Xu suggested to Jiang Ruyun after Jiang Peihuan and Xiao Nanye had disappeared around a corner.
Jiang Ruyun, who was in the carriage, looked at the place where Jiang Peihuan had disappeared. Her eyes were filled with jealousy.
King Cheng had clearly seen her, yet he'd ignore her and smiled gently at Jiang Peihuan. While She was pregnant, and her future husband already had a grown son.
The more Jiang Ruyun thought about it, the angrier she became.
Upon hearing Granny Xu's words, she snapped, "To the Huainan Mansion."
"Second Miss, the first miss instructed..."
"Don't mention Jiang Peihuan to me! Get lost!"
Jiang Ruyun suddenly pulled out the long whip at her waist and whipped it directly on the horse's back. The horse instantly ran out.
Nanny Xu was left on the road by Jiang Ruyun. As she watched the carriage disappear, Nanny Xu's expression changed. "This isn't good. Something bad is going to happen."
"Second Miss, Nanny Xu is a trusted attendant of the Old Madam. Should we really just leave her behind like... Ow!"
Seeing Nanny Xu who was left on the road, the coachman couldn't help but voice his concern. However, as soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Ruyun's whip fell upon him.
