Chapter 441 New Year’s Eve
So Jiang Ning got on the carriage at night and followed them to the Duke of Jiang's Mansion.
Jiang Renyan was very happy and kept talking to Jiang Ningwan. The master at the martial arts school praised him for his good horse stance. He was very proud and said that it was taught by the general's sister.
All the students in the martial arts school envied him.
Afraid that Jiang Ningwan might not like it, Fang Yunxin smiled and said, "Children of this age tend to be competitive. If you don't like it, I'll tell him not to talk about General Sister outside."
Jiang Ningwan smiled faintly, "It's okay, I don't mind."
"Is Duke Jiang willing to let Renyan go to the martial arts school to learn martial arts?"
Fang Yunxin nodded. "The Duke often told Renyan to follow your example, learn martial arts well, and serve the country in the future."
Jiang Ningwan smiled but said nothing.
Now I am proud of her.
When she was young, she wanted to learn martial arts but had to learn it secretly, and she would be punished if she was discovered.
Not to mention the chance to go to a martial arts gym.
Her grandfather and uncle taught her martial arts so that she would not be bullied when she grew up. Jiang Bingde said that only people who were not presentable learned those things.
We soon arrived at the Duke's Mansion.
Jiang Bingde was very surprised to learn that she had come. He laughed heartily, "Ningwan is here. Go get my treasured wine! Let's have a couple of drinks together!"
Jiang Xiru and Qi were not seen at the dinner table.
But Renyan is talkative and lively.
Halfway through the meal, Jiang Bingde drank two more cups and said to Jiang Ningwan, "Come to think of it, you and the King of Chu have been married for so many years."
"Even your cousin is about to have a baby, why is your belly still not moving?"
"Could it be that you hurt yourself during your last miscarriage? You're a doctor yourself, so you should take better care of yourself and take better care of yourself."
When this matter was mentioned, Jiang Ningwan's eyes darkened.
Thinking that Jiang Bingde was concerned about her health, she didn't say anything.
But after drinking another glass, Jiang Bingde muttered again: "Women, you still have to have your own children. This is your responsibility."
"Life without children is incomplete. No matter how high your official position or status, the King of Chu will always despise you after a long time."
"Don't look at your current glory. When you are old and still don't have children, how will the world view you?"
Although Jiang Bingde was drunk, he restrained himself and tried to be as tactful as possible.
Listening to this nagging, Jiang Ningwan felt a little irritated.
She put down her bowl and chopsticks indifferently.
Just as she was about to speak, Fang Yunxin noticed her displeasure and quickly said, "Why are you saying these things on a reunion day? Ningwan is already so old, she naturally has her own plans."
"Ningwan, are you almost done eating? I have something I want to give you. Come with me to my room."
After saying that, he took Jiang Ningwan away.
After leaving the room, Jiang Ningwan was still upset. Did she not want a child? She couldn't have one.
If the first child is lost, the next child may not be born safely.
She came to Fang Yunxin's room in a distracted state, closed the door, and took something out of the cabinet.
"This is the soft armor I made for you. I heard that this golden feather silk is lightweight and can withstand swords and fire, so I got some and made you one."
"I made it based on the size of your old clothes. I don't know if it fits you now. If it doesn't fit, I'll alter it for you."
Jiang Ningwan picked up the soft armor and was a little surprised. "This golden feather silk is not cheap and hard to buy."
Fang Yunxin was very frank and whispered, "Your father is a Duke after all. Even if these are hard to buy, can't he still get them?"
"I know you definitely don't need these, but making them yourself will definitely be more suitable than buying ready-made ones. I think this one I made is quite comfortable. You can try it later."
Jiang Ningwan was a little dazed.
Yes, how could the Duke not get these if he wanted to?
It's just a matter of whether you want to or not.
Fang Yunxin does have some abilities that can make Jiang Bingde worry about her.
Jiang Ningwan smiled and nodded, "Okay, then I'll accept it. If it doesn't fit, I'll modify it for you."
Seeing her accept it, Fang Yunxin was very happy. She was afraid that Jiang Ningwan would look down on it.
"By the way, today is New Year's Eve, why are Qi and Jiang Xiru not here?" Jiang Ningwan asked curiously.
When talking about this mother and daughter, Fang Yunxin's eyes were a little evasive.
After hesitating for a moment, she confessed, "I'm not afraid to tell you. Last time, Renyan was almost poisoned to death, and the Duke didn't track down the real culprit. I was very scared."
"Jiang Xiru is pregnant and hiding in the mansion. I thought that sending her back to the palace would bring peace to the mansion, so I quietly told the eldest prince about her pregnancy."
"She is pregnant with the eldest prince's child. The eldest prince will definitely value her and will definitely take her back to the palace to raise her."
"Jiang Xiru entered the palace about a month or two, and then Qi left the Duke's Mansion, saying she was going back to her parents' home."
"My Lord, you're old and your energy is weak, and Renyan is at the age of playing around. He's been pestering you all day, so he has no time to think about the mother and daughter."
"I deliberately didn't mention it. Today, I just assumed that Jiang Xiru and her daughter wouldn't be coming back."
Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan was a little surprised.
"But Jiang Xiru hasn't been in the palace recently."
When Fan Ruoshuang died, Jiang Xiru did not show up. When Qin Chengqian was sent to the imperial mausoleum, Jiang Xiru did not show up either.
She has been away from the palace for a long time.
"Not in the palace? Then I don't know."
Fang Yunxin was also confused.
"Anyway, Jiang Xiru hasn't come back since your cousin's wedding."
Jiang Ningwan seemed to be thinking about something and decided to go back and find out if Jiang Xiru was at the Qi family.
"It's better if you don't come back. You and Renyan will be safer then."
Fang Yunxin nodded, "Yes."
"After Qi left, the Duke asked me to be the housekeeper."
Although she is nominally the second wife, she is actually the mistress of the house.
Jiang Ningwan could see that Fang Yunxin was ambitious. She was able to take control of all matters of the Duke's Mansion in such a short period of time and manage the internal affairs in an orderly manner.
She returned to the Duke's Mansion just to get the position of mistress.
Otherwise, you won’t be able to learn these in a short period of time.
Jiang Ningwan glanced out the window. The snow was falling even harder. "It's getting late. I have to go back."
"Don't you want to stay for one night?" Fang Yunxin tried to persuade him.
"No."
Then Fang Yunxin took Renyan to see her out.
Jiang Bingde drank too much and fell asleep.
Li Chun helped Jiang Ning get into the carriage at night, "Princess, are we going directly back to the palace?"
"Go to the palace gate. I think the prince should be back soon. Go and pick him up."
"it is good."
The carriage went to the palace and waited outside the palace gate.
Under the heavy snow and palace lanterns, Xiao Lan supported Qin Shuangchi and walked slowly out.
Qin Shuangchi covered his chest uncomfortably and coughed weakly twice.
Walking out of the palace gate, Xiao Lan saw the carriage outside and asked, "Isn't that Madam's carriage?"
Qin Shuangchi was startled when he heard this. He took a breath, stood up straight, and walked slowly over.
Jiang Ningwan lifted the carriage curtain and took a look. Seeing Qin Shuangchi coming out, she was delighted.
Soon Qin Shuangchi got on the carriage.
"It's snowing heavily outside." Jiang Ningwan helped him brush off the snow on his shoulders and head.
"How is it? Did the Emperor give you any trouble?"
Qin Shuangchi shook his head, a smile on his lips, "No, it's not past midnight yet, do you still have an appetite to eat with me?"
Jiang Ningwan chuckled, "It just so happens that I didn't eat well at Duke Jiang's mansion either."
