Because Jiang Siqi had given Jiang Wanwan to Meng Zhi in order to meet Zhao Zheyong.

Now that Jiang Wanwan hears Jiang Siqi's decision, she has to think about it for a while before making a decision.

"Sister, what are you talking about? How come I'm not doing this for your own good?" Jiang Siqi subconsciously defended himself.

"Humph." Jiang Wanwan sneered, "Then tell me, why can't I take this child and force the Third Prince to marry me?"

"This..." Jiang Siqi looked embarrassed and looked at Jiang Wanwan.

Jiang Wanwan was suddenly shocked, "Is the Third Prince really going to marry Jiang Yunxi?"

Jiang Siqi was also shocked.

Although this matter had spread throughout the capital, he was worried that Zhao Zheyong's plan to marry Jiang Yunxi would fail because of Jiang Wanwan's commotion on the eve of the marriage.

Jiang Siqi issued a death order early on, asking the servants in the mansion to be careful with their words.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Wanwan still knew about it.

Jiang Wanwan hugged Jiang Siqi's shoulders with both hands, her eyes widened, and she shook Jiang Siqi desperately, "You...why didn't you tell me? Why did you want His Royal Highness the Third Prince to marry her?"

Jiang Siqi was getting impatient with her shaking and pushed her away, "That's enough, Jiang Wanwan. Let alone the Third Prince, you're an eyesore to me now. How can you compare to the princess in any way?"

"You are starting to flatter her now. Is it because of her position as the Duke of Zhenguo?"

Jiang Wanwan was pushed back two steps by Jiang Siqi. After she stood firm, she began to mock him, "Why don't you see if you can win Jiang Yunxi's eyes? She and the Queen Mother conspired to strip my father of his title. Do you think she really dares to help you get to that position? Isn't she afraid that you will retaliate against her? Only a fool like you would believe that Jiang Yunxi would really give you that position."

She raised her hand and pointed in the direction of the palace, staring at Jiang Siqi, "If you don't believe what I say, you can give her a try by sending her a note to see if she will see you? Even if she does see you, will she give you a good look?"

Jiang Siqi also had his suspicions in his heart, and after Jiang Wanwan said them out loud like that, he became even more unsure.

He immediately sent a letter to meet Jiang Yunxi.

As expected, Jiang Yunxi didn't see him.

As Jiang Siqi walked back from the palace gate, he thought, "When Jiang Yunxi wanted to see the Third Prince, he left me alone and went to see Jiang Yunxi in private. I don't know what they talked about. Although the Third Prince comforted me later, saying that if I married Jiang Yunxi, I could become the Duke of Zhenguo. But I can't guarantee that this was just a perfunctory remark..."

"If Jiang Yunxi didn't agree, how could I take that position? Now, judging from Jiang Yunxi's attitude towards me, Jiang Yunxi doesn't agree."

"Does that mean that the Third Prince and Jiang Yunxi have already chosen the candidate for the Duke of Zhenguo, but they just wanted to hide it from me. Just like they hid it from Jiang Wanwan, they just wanted me to stop causing any more trouble before I was granted marriage?"

Jiang Siqi's clenched right fist kept hitting the palm of his left hand, and he sighed, "Your Highness the Third Prince, you've scared me so much!"

"Jiang Yunxi refused to give me the position of the Duke of Zhenguo, so why should I help her take the position of the Third Prince's Consort? If she says something bad about me in front of the Third Prince, how can I have a good ending?"

"No matter what, Jiang Wanwan is a worthless person, but she can only rely on me to help her. Even if she has a grudge against me because of what happened before, she has no choice but to beg me and help me."

Jiang Siqi secretly made up his mind not to facilitate the marriage between Zhao Zheyong and Jiang Yunxi.

As soon as he returned home, Jiang Siqi went straight to Jiang Wanwan's room and sent Lan'er out.

Lan'er didn't know why they avoided talking to her, so she was careful and eavesdropped outside the door.

Seeing Jiang Siqi leave in a hurry and come back in a hurry, Jiang Wanwan knew that he had been defeated by Jiang Yunxi. She couldn't help but sneer, "Haha, I'm right. She refused to see you. She will never give you the position of the Duke of Zhenguo."

"Oh, my dear sister." Although Jiang Siqi was unhappy in his heart, he still held back and didn't show it. He turned around and comforted Jiang Wanwan, "I... I was also deceived by His Royal Highness the Third Prince!"

Jiang Siqi sighed.

When Jiang Siqi mentioned Zhao Zheyong, Jiang Wanwan immediately turned around and asked, "What do you mean?"

Jiang Siqi sighed, "You really guessed it right. After the Third Prince met Jiang Yunxi in Ningzhou, he told me that he wanted me to be the Duke of Zhenguo, and asked me to keep it a secret from you. I was happy at the time, so I did as he asked."

"Now that I think about it, he was using a delaying tactic on you, wanting to wait until the marriage was granted before telling you. Wasn't he also using a delaying tactic on me? He first stabilized me, making me think that I could sit in that position, and I would help him keep it a secret from you."

"But now I realize that as long as Jiang Yunxi doesn't agree, I can't possibly be the Duke of Zhenguo! And even if I can't be the Duke of Zhenguo, the position of Duke of Zhenguo is in the hands of the Third Prince. At that time, he can just ask anyone to sit in that position. For him, it won't be harmful at all! But it will be very disadvantageous to me!"

Jiang Wanwan was very good at grasping the key points, and she immediately got angry, "Are you saying that the Third Prince doesn't want to marry me at all? Impossible, I don't believe it! I'm going to find him!"

She stood up immediately.

Jiang Siqi pressed her down on the bench and said, "Sister, we are really in the same boat now. You and I have to help each other!"

"If a capable minister appears by the side of His Royal Highness the Third Prince, he will squeeze out my position beside the Third Prince. There is no guarantee that he will not send beauties to the Third Prince. By then, they will definitely be plotting the identity of the Third Prince's wife!" Jiang Siqi knew what Jiang Wanwan cared about most, and his words deliberately hit her in the heart.

"What did you say?" Jiang Wanwan became alert when she heard that someone was trying to snatch her position beside the Third Prince.

"Now, I really understand. You and I prosper together and suffer together. Only if I stay by the Third Prince's side can you stay firmly in the position of the Third Prince's consort. Only if you are in that position will the Third Prince really rely on our Jiang family and depend on our Jiang family completely. If someone else appears by his side... my position will be lost, and your position will certainly be lost too!"

Jiang Wanwan thought about it and felt that what Jiang Siqi said was right, "Then what should we do?"

"You can't tell the Third Prince that you're pregnant... I'm really afraid he'll do something bad to you and the child." Jiang Siqi rolled his eyes, "It's best to tell the Queen Mother or His Majesty directly."

“If the Queen Mother finds out, won’t Jiang Yunxi harm my child?” Jiang Wanwan hugged her belly tightly.

"People as noble as the Queen Mother and Jiang Yunxi will definitely not agree to this marriage once they hear that you are pregnant with the Third Prince's child." Jiang Siqi boldly speculated, "When the time comes, maybe they can even go to His Majesty and help you in return."

"But this child..." Jiang Wanwan hesitated to speak.
