Chapter 339: Hatred

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Then what does Princess Consort mean?”

Upon hearing Jiang Yan’s words, Xiao Junhao spoke faintly.

Meeting Xiao Junhao’s gaze, Jiang Yan whispered, “My intention is, let’s put this matter to rest. Secondary Consort Xue has already learned her lesson.”

Facing Xiao Junhao’s look, Jiang Yan remained unyielding.

After a long while, Xiao Junhao finally said to Jiang Yan, “Since the Princess Consort pleads, then let this matter end here.”

Having said that, Xiao Junhao immediately stood up and left without glancing at anyone.

As Xiao Junhao left, Lin Mengyao also stood up. After bowing to Jiang Yan, she softly said, “1 will take my leave now.”

Upon finishing her words, Lin Mengyao was about to leave when Jiang Yan’s voice came from behind, “Wait a moment.”

Hearing Jiang Yan’s voice, Lin Mengyao stopped in her tracks and turned her head to look at Jiang Yan. “Is there anything else the Princess Consort requires?”

“It seems you’ve never taken my words to heart.”

A hint of a smile curled up at the corner of Jiang Yan’s mouth, but it was devoid of warmth, and her eyes were equally cold.

Facing Jiang Yan’s expression, Lin Mengyao was momentarily stunned, then whispered, “I don’t understand what you are implying.”

“Heh…”

Hearing this, Jiang Yan chuckled lightly, her smile dripping with sarcasm.

A moment later, Jiang Yan coldly said, “If you don’t know, then forget it. Leave.”

After bowing to Jiang Yan, Lin Mengyao left immediately.

Watching her retreating figure, Jiang Yan’s eyes were filled with gloom. Only when Lin Mengyao’s silhouette disappeared around the corner did Jiang Yan look at Xue Ru, who was sitting on the chair.

Xue Ru was on the verge of fainting, but upon seeing Jiang Yan approaching, she anxiously said, “Princess Consort, I did not harm the child in your womb, this has nothing to do with me…”

“I know.”

Jiang Yan interrupted her without waiting for Xue Ru to finish.

A couple of seconds later, Xue Ru looked at Jiang Yan in disbelief, “You knew?”

Facing Xue Ru’s incredulous look, Jiang Yan said sarcastically, “Otherwise, why do you think 1 would save you?”

Initially, Jiang Peihuan had planned to return to the Cheng Mansion, but Xiao Nanye insisted on staying at the General’s Mansion. Seeing this, Jiang Peihuan didn’t say anything more.

The Jiang family, on the other hand, was quite pleased.

Without realizing, three months had passed since Jiang Peihuan had been pregnant.

In the Plum Garden.

Jiang Peihuan was playing chess with Xiao Nanye when they saw Lu Er rush in, looking annoyed.

Seeing her demeanor, Jiang Peihuan raised an eyebrow, “What happened? Who upset you this time?”

“It’s that young lady from the Xue family.”

“Xue Ru?”

Ever since Xue Ru’s maid came to the General’s Mansion for help, Jiang Peihuan hadn’t heard from Xue Ru for a long time. Suddenly hearing Lu Er mention her, Jiang Peihuan was momentarily caught off guard.

“What happened to her?”

“She came to our mansion and stood at the gate, crying. From her appearance, those in the know understood she owed us, but others might think we did something wrong to her.”

The more Lu Er spoke, the angrier she looked.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Peihuan couldn’t help but frown. She didn’t like Xue Ru, but she knew her personality. Xue Ru was vain and cared a lot about her reputation.

Making a public scene like this was unlike her.

“Where is my mother? Has someone informed her about this?”

“The eldest young master said not to bother the madam with such trivial matters.”

Just as she was about to speak, she saw Yue Er approaching.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Yue Er walking over.

“Greetings, Your Highness, Greetings, my Queen.”

“Get up.”

After Yue Er paid her respects to Jiang Peihuan and Xiao Nanye, she turned to Jiang Peihuan and said, “My Queen, the madam wishes to see you.”

“Did my mother mention what it’s about?”

Upon hearing Yue Er’s words, Jiang Peihuan put down her chess piece.

“It seems to be about Young Lady Xue..”
