On the day of my tragic death, I was reborn and married to the Regent

Prince Yan was sitting opposite Duke Anguo. When he heard Jiang Nian's voice, he slowly turned his gaze to her.

Duke Anguo laughed twice, stood up and said, "Thank you for your help today, Miss Jiang."

"My Lord, you are so polite. This is what a servant should do."

Duke Anguo asked about what happened today, and Jiang Nian answered truthfully. Duke Anguo was so angry that his face darkened and he punched the table.

But what if you know?

Princess Anle is hosting a banquet during the day. Even if everyone is called there and those children are pulled out, what will happen then?

A Duke, is he going to mess with a bunch of kids? Besides, she would have to identify them, and if she did, she would be exposed. The thought of offending those people gave Jiang Nian a headache.

Although the Anguo Mansion was prominent, those families at that time were not ordinary families. They were either princes or prominent figures, and they all had to work together in the court.

But just because you can't come openly doesn't mean you can't come secretly. Then we can only rely on the Duke to investigate himself.

Sure enough, Duke Anguo did not mention this matter. He just said that he was going to see the child and left.

It was really...awkward for Jiang Nian to face King Yan alone.

The host left and left two guests behind. Is that appropriate?

But he is a prince, so he can't really keep silent.

"Your Highness, Prince Yan, why are you here?"

Prince Yan looked over casually: "What do you think?"

how could I know?

But then he remembered that it was Prince Yan who took the young master of the Duke's Mansion away today, and he understood immediately.

"I'm sorry to trouble your Highness."

"You still know trouble?"

Jiang Nian always felt that the King of Yan had been speaking in a sarcastic tone recently, and he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional.

Jiang Nian had nothing to say, but she remained silent. Prince Yan took the initiative to speak: "I heard that you broke off the engagement?"

"...Exactly."

This time, the King of Yan didn't beat around the bush. He asked directly in a cold voice, "Are you willing to give it up?"

"what?"

"Are you willing to break off the engagement with the Young Master of the Yan family?"

Jiang Nian answered without even thinking, "Why would I be reluctant to give it up?"

The King of Yan paused. "Although I admire you, our social statuses are vastly different. You have a wife to marry, so I dare not desire anything else. As long as you keep me in your heart, that's all that matters... Wasn't that what the eldest girl said that day?"

Jiang Nian's eyebrows twitched. She had said these words to Yan Qingsong that day in the suburbs. How could King Yan know about this?

She said everything she said that day to Prince Jin and Jiang Mingyuan, just to make them cancel her engagement as soon as possible.

Was the King of Yan there at that time?

"Oh, actually... I am also sad, but... isn't there anything I can do? I know I am not worthy of Master Yan, so naturally I won't covet things that don't belong to me."

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt the oppression around her become more obvious.

She didn't understand, whether she liked Yan Qingsong or not, what did it have to do with King Yan?

If we really want to talk about it, King Jin should be more angry, right?

Prince Yan didn't say anything, and she didn't look up either. She was right to push the responsibility of saving him onto Jiang Nian. She really couldn't handle Prince Yan like this.

"Your Highness...is there anything else?"

"Why? You don't want to stay with me?"

Listen, these words are even more stinging.

"No, no, I dare not. It's just...it's getting late. Your Highness should rest early. Your health is more important."

The frown on King Yan's face instantly relaxed. Is she concerned about me?

If Jiang Nian knew what King Yan was thinking at this moment, he would definitely shout three times that it was unfair and that she was a little tired and wanted to sleep.

When she left home, she was already ready to go to bed, but now she was busy until midnight and she really couldn't hold on any longer.

When King Yan saw her tired look, a hint of gloom appeared in his heart.

"It's getting late, Miss Jiang, you should go to bed early." After saying that, he turned around and left without saying anything else.

As soon as Prince Yan left, someone came outside. There were no female relatives in the Duke's Mansion, so it was not convenient to let them stay overnight. So Jiang Nian was sent back to the Jiang family that night.

But after coming out of the house, I found that the mansion was different from when I came in. Without asking, I found out that the Duke had just punished many servants.

At this time, Qingfengyuan was also unable to sleep in the mansion.

Jiang Mingyuan came back from outside today and went straight to Jiang Nian's courtyard.

Jiang Mingyuan has been coming less frequently these days, and he misses her very much.

Jiang Nian still looked delicate and weak in front of Jiang Mingyuan, and acted a little bit naughty, which made Jiang Mingyuan's mouth crooked.

Jiang Nian said softly, "Brother, why haven't you come to see me recently?"

Jiang Mingyuan smiled and said, "I've been busy outside these days and haven't had time to see you. I came here as soon as I got home today."

Then he took out a small box from his sleeve: "Gift."

Jiang Nian took it reluctantly, and inside was a white jade hairpin inlaid with gold.

Jiang Mingyuan took out the hairpin and gently inserted it into Jiang Nian's hair.

Jiang Nian finally smiled: "Thank you, brother. I... I thought... you didn't like me anymore because my sister came back." As she spoke, she lowered her head and sobbed a few times in grievance.

Jiang Mingyuan was heartbroken and quickly comforted her: "Don't let your imagination run wild. How could I not like you? In this family, my favorite is Nian Nian."

Jiang Nian raised her head, revealing the delicate demeanor of a little girl, "Really?"

"Well, really."

"But...will my sister be unhappy?"

When Jiang Nian was mentioned, Jiang Mingyuan lost his interest. "Why mention her? How can she compare to you?"

"But...my sister's status is different now. She's a princess and a prince. Now she has a Duke's Mansion. We can't afford to offend her."

Jiang Mingyuan smiled as if everything was under control and patted Jiang Nian's head: "Don't worry, she won't stay in the mansion for long."

Soon, she would no longer be an eyesore to them.

Hearing this, Jiang Nian gave a nice smile, but the palms under his sleeves unconsciously clenched tighter and tighter.

After seeing Jiang Mingyuan off, Jiang Nian threw everything on the table to the ground.

"Jiang Nian, Jiang Nian! Why does she always go against me?"

She completely understood what Jiang Mingyuan had said just now. Prince Jin really wanted to take that bitch into the mansion. In the past few days, people from Prince Jin's mansion came to the mansion every day to deliver things.

Why, why? How could she not compare to Jiang Nian?

Two princesses and one prince were not enough, and today she even hooked up with Duke Anguo. Duke Anguo was old enough to be her father, yet she could actually do that to him!

Qiuyu's eyes rolled. "Miss, calm down first. We still have a chance. As long as you beg the eldest master, there is nothing he won't do for you."

Of course Jiang Nian knew that her elder brother always agreed with her in everything and would give her whatever she wanted. But when it came to this matter, her elder brother would change the subject and not say more.

She can only rely on herself and must not let Jiang Nian enter the Prince Jin's Mansion.

"Go, call Cui'er to me."

These days, Cui'er has provided her with useful information several times, and she still needs Cui'er to continue to inquire about Jiang Nian's movements.

Cui Er came in and quickly knelt down to greet, "Second Miss."

"Have you had any news from the eldest girl these days?"

"My lady, I did get some news, but I don't know if it's true or not."

Jiang Nian's expression brightened. "Tell me about it?"
