But this time, no matter how Jiang Hewen begged and threatened, Yu Ning remained unmoved. Jiang Hewen displayed ugly behaviour. He lost control of his bladder in front of everyone, and finally scratched his head so much that it started bleeding. Only when he almost died of shame and anger, did Yu Ning finally have someone bring a bowl of immortal powder that had been prepared a while ago.
After Jiang Hewen drank it, he felt comfortable and lay on the ground. He enjoyed the pleasure brought by the medicine.
Yu Ning ignored him and let him lie there.
When Jiang Hewen woke up, it took some time to recall what had happened just now.
But he was reluctant about the situation and didn’t dare.
In the end, under the contempt and disdain from the surrounding people, he went to the bathroom to wash off the stains on his body. He then wept in despair in the bathroom.
After such a thing happened a few times, Jiang Hewen gave in completely. All his dignity was gone, crushed into mud and trampled on by others! As long as one gave him the immortal powder on time, he would do whatever one wanted. He was incredibly tame!
Yu Ning told this to County Princess Wanyi and County Princess Wanyi said contemptuously, “How can someone like him be compared with Hanwen?!”
Thinking of this, County Princess Wanyi felt a little sad. If Hanwen had been able to adapt to the situation like Jiang Hewen, they may not have come to this point today. Yin and yang were separated!
They were to never meet again! Thinking of what Kong Hanwen said before his death, County Princess Wanyi’s heart hurt like it was being cut by a knife.
She admitted that she had used some tricks to get Hanwen, but she was sincere to Hanwen! She had tried her best to make up for it. She had endured body deformation, endured massive pain, and gave birth to a healthy and lovely son for him! What was wrong with the immortal powder? She had a lot of immortal powder, enough for him to eat for a lifetime! Couldn’t they go on like this? Why did Hanwen commit suicide, dying in front of her in such a tragic way?
A trace of pain flashed in the eyes of County Princess Wanyi. Seeing this, Yu Ning quickly looked at Yu Rou. Yu Rou thought for a while before saying, “County Princess, why don’t you ask Gentleman Qi and the others to come over and talk to you?”
County Princess Wanyi waved. “Let them come! By the way, let Jiang Hewen come too and have him watch from the side!”
She really wanted to rip his heart out and see what it was made of. Why? She had done so much, but she couldn’t change his sincerity! Why?!
Jiang Hewen watched County Princess Wanyi hanging out with a few men, but he was surprisingly calm. He didn’t love County Princess Wanyi at all, so he wouldn’t be angry. As long as she gave him the immortal powder on time, he didn’t care if she spent time with women, let alone men.
Zhao Wanyi was irritated by Jiang Hewen’s indifference. In a trance, she seemed to see the man who made her unable to forget him. She went down to the ground barefoot, walked straight to Jiang Hewen, took off his clothes, and pulled him onto the bed.
Outside the house, it rained heavily last night. After the rain, the sky was clear. Frogs croaked and reeds were scattered across the ground.
Over there, Li Su also met Su Ruolan, who was already quite large in her hometown.
Su Ruolan looked at Li Su with an expression of horror. She knew this person. Her sister died in vain because of this woman, and now Li Su had asked people to arrest her here. What did Li Su want to do?
Seeing her defensive look, Li Su looked to the side. “Mother Qi, didn’t you tell her why you brought her here?”
The woman said with a bitter face, “We told her, but she just didn’t believe it. Instead, she thought we had caught her.”
Li Su frowned. “What they said is true. The person who wanted to capture you was Eldest Prince Kang’s people. After Chen San, who escorted you, learned that the other party was Eldest Prince Kang’s people, he went back. My people rescued you. We really don’t have any malicious intent towards you.”
“I don’t believe it! I don’t believe a single word any of you said! You are not good people at all. My older sister died because of you. My older sister and Hewen truly loved each other. Because of you, my older sister died. Why are you pretending to be a good person now?! Don’t try to sow discord between Hewen and I. In this world, I only trust him!” Su Ruolan said emotionally.
Li Su was angry. Damn it! She managed to become a saint, but she came across such an ignorant person. “Mother Qi, arrange for a few people to watch over her. After she gives birth, arrange for someone to send her back to the capital.”
Su Ruolan didn’t expect Li Su to let her go so easily, so she was a little excited. “No, I’m going back to the capital now!” She was almost 7 months pregnant now, and it was about a 20-day journey from here to the capital. She wanted to rush back before she gave birth. She wanted the first person to see the child after he was born to be his father!
“Let her go!” Li Su was too lazy to talk nonsense with Su Ruolan. Since she didn’t appreciate it, then let her go!
“I’ll make the arrangements now!” Mother Qi responded happily. She hurried out to make arrangements. They didn’t want their young miss to do such a thankless thing, especially if the other party didn’t appreciate it.
Su Ruolan held her waist in one hand and her stomach in the other. She looked at Li Su defensively.
Li Su had lost her patience to talk to an idiot like Su Ruolan. She stood up. “I haven’t come back here for many years. I forgot what the old house looks like. Let’s go and take a look. Son, you come too.”
Li Chen walked over and gave Su Ruolan a deep look. His eyes were not much different than looking at a dead person. Su Ruolan shrank while holding her stomach.
But Su Ruolan quickly stopped thinking about that because the one named Mother Qi quickly arranged everything for her, a spacious and comfortable carriage, and a wet nurse. There was even a middle-aged man with a broken hand who was in charge of driving.
Mother Qi also found someone to escort Su Ruolan back to the capital.
Su Ruolan was afraid that something would happen if she was delayed for a long time, so she asked to leave immediately. Mother Qi was originally ready to be a good person to the end. She was going to hire a doctor for her, but seeing Su Ruolan’s appearance, she lost interest.
It was better to just let her go.
But Su Ruolan was worried about the person arranged by Mother Qi. A few days after she left, she quietly left the security detail and found a new bodyguard to escort her into the capital.
The protection agency was originally unwilling to accept her request, but when they saw that she was heavily pregnant and alone, they pitied her. Since they were just going to the capital to deliver bodyguards, they agreed. They made it clear in advance that they were on a tight schedule and were in a hurry on the road. If something happened to her on the way, they would not be responsible.
Su Ruolan only wanted to return to the capital as soon as possible, and she believed that she was strong, so there should be no problem. She agreed with gritted teeth.
The carriage that the protection agency arranged for her was not good. It was small and bumpy. Su Ruolan had to find someone to buy a quilt to put under her. She gritted her teeth and bared with it.
After finally arriving in the capital, Su Ruolan got off the carriage and felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach. She wanted to find a medical centre first, but all of her money was given to the guards. The food she had was spent on the way here. She was now penniless. She had no money to see a doctor. Besides, she was a pregnant woman and she couldn’t be taken care of by anyone.
Su Ruolan thought again. Since she was already in the capital, why didn’t she go directly to the Jiang family mansion! Now that she was pregnant, the Jiang family should let her in! If she could give birth to a boy, maybe the Jiang family would let her get married. Wouldn’t it be right for her to accompany Hewen?
Su Ruolan thought of this possibility and she rejoiced in her heart. She changed directions, endured the pain in her stomach, and went directly to the Jiang family mansion.
She didn’t expect that, before she could take a few steps, the pain in her abdomen became increasingly more severe.
Su Ruolan gritted her teeth and endured it. She finally made it to the Jiang family mansion. She was about to knock on the door when suddenly there was severe pain in her stomach. She couldn’t help but bend over and cover her stomach.
At this moment, the door opened and the porter came out.
Su Ruolan reached out to him. “Save me! I have Jiang Hewen’s flesh and blood in my stomach.” After speaking, she fainted.
Seeing that her skirt was stained red with blood, the porter was a little scared. He quickly called a few people and carried her in. While he ordered people to ask for a doctor, he also asked someone to report this to the madam.
When Mrs. Jiang-Wang got the news, she hurried over. When she saw Su Ruolan’s face, her face turned pale with fright. “Why is she back? Quickly, carry her out!”
“But Madam, she said that the child in her womb belongs to the young master,” the porter said quickly.
At this time, Mrs. Jiang-Wang had already discovered that this woman was not Su Ruoxue. Su Ruoxue was already dead and would not come back. She heard the porter’s words and saw the woman’s stomach and the blood on her skirt.
Mrs. Jiang-Wang hesitated, not knowing what to do!
“This can’t be left here. Hurry up and take her out for me! Take her out through the back door! If anyone else asks about her, tell them it was just an irrelevant person. Remember, this woman has nothing to do with our Jiang family!” Jiang Wande said. He had just returned from the government office. When he heard the news, he hurried over.
“Master!” Mrs. Jiang-Wang was a little hesitant. After all, that child was her own grandson. How could she just watch him disappear?
Jiang Wande shook his head and said, “You are confused! Only the son of the county princess is our grandson. We can’t have this wild thing! Think about it, if the county princess or the people of Prince Kang’s mansion knew about it, what do you think would happen?”
When Mrs. Jiang-Wang heard this, she glanced at Su Ruolan. “You’re right.” Then, she ordered, “Servants, take her out through the back door. Find a doctor to look at her.”
Su Ruolan woke up and heard Mrs. Jiang-Wang’s last sentence. She couldn’t believe her ears and wanted to say something, but Jiang Wande hugged Mrs. Jiang-Wang and left. “There is too much blood here. You are not well, so you shouldn’t stay for long. Let’s go!”
Su Ruolan was carried out in desperation. By the time the doctor came, it was too late. Her child, a male child, was just gone.
The doctor also said that Su Ruolan injured her body, and guessed that she would not be able to get pregnant again in the future. Su Ruolan was really desperate now.
As a woman, her husband was not her own, and now she had no chance to be a mother. What was the point of her life?
However, even if she were to die, she would also pull in a scapegoat.
On this day, Mrs. Jiang-Wang was going to go out to the Jade Pavilion to order jewellery, but as soon as she left the gates, a woman rushed over and knelt beside her with a thud. “Madam, I have something important to tell Madam. Madam, please listen!”
Mrs. Jiang-Wang saw that it was the woman who was brought in that day. She was about to leave, but she saw that her stomach was flat. That child…
Mrs. Jiang-Wang took pity on her, waved away the maid, and walked to her side. “Tell me, what are you…” The next words were interrupted by a sudden knife in her chest.
Mrs. Jiang-Wang lowered her head in disbelief. “You, you…” Then, she spat out a mouthful of blood.
