After rebirth, the abstinent prince wants to marry me every day

"Sister!"

"Good morning!"

As Liu Jin raised the wooden stick high, Zhu Qing'an subconsciously turned around and faced the stick with her back. At this moment, what she wanted most was to protect the baby in her belly.

The sound of wind breaking through the air was heard. The sound was very light, but it was a short-bladed scabbard that was thrown over and hit Liu Jin's wrist head-on.

"Ah!" With a cry of pain from Liu Jin, the wooden stick she was holding fell to the ground. She couldn't help but cover her wrist and looked around, "Who is it! Stand up!"

"It's me!" An old but powerful voice sounded.

Everyone looked towards the entrance of the plum garden, even Zhu Qingan was no exception.

I saw an old woman wearing a neat green robe commonly worn by warriors. Her long hair was tied up with a ribbon. She was not wearing any makeup or hairpins or jewelry. Her eyebrows were sharp and her eyes were heroic. She slowly walked into the plum garden.

"It's Madam Bian!" someone whispered, and everyone suddenly realized the identity of the old woman.

Zhu Qing'an watched Old Madam Bian approach slowly, stunned, not knowing how to speak. She had actually met Old Madam Bian before, but only a few times. If Bian Jingsheng hadn't looked 50% like his mother, she probably wouldn't have recognized him.

"I want to see who dares to attack the grandson of my loyal and righteous prince!" Old Lady Bian stood there, and the aura around her was intimidating.

The nanny beside him picked up the scabbard from the ground and presented it with both hands.

Madam Bian took it and closed the scabbard, concealing the short blade she wore at her waist. Even at such a distance, she was able to accurately knock the stick away with just the scabbard, proving that Madam Bian's martial arts skills were as strong as ever.

"Mrs. Bian?" Liu Jin covered his wrist and looked at Mrs. Bian who suddenly appeared with an ugly expression.

"It's you? You want to harm my daughter-in-law, and even my grandson?" Old Lady Bian glanced at Liu Jin with a look full of disdain, as if she was looking at some trash.

Liu Jin subconsciously lowered his eyebrows when he was looked at by Old Lady Bian, but he raised his head again in an instant.

"Madam Bian, please don't be deceived. The child in Princess Yongfu's belly may not be Prince Zhongyi's! Madam Bian, please don't raise a grandson for someone else!" Liu Jin hinted.

She was implicitly telling Madam Bian that Zhu Qing'an's private life was not clean, and was also planting a seed of doubt in Madam Bian's heart.

"My eyes are brighter than yours, but you, a girl, always slander others. I think your mouth is not clean!" Old Lady Bian glared at Liu Jin and spoke without mercy.

Liu Jin had never been told that before, and her face flushed with anger. But the person in front of her was Madam Bian, who had accompanied the old loyal king to fight the enemy, and even the late emperor had to give her three points of courtesy. She was just a lady from an aristocratic family, so how could she argue with Madam Bian?

"Princess Yongfu, it is an indisputable fact that she is pregnant before marriage. If Old Madam Bian protects the princess, how will the ladies present here view it?" Li Wu stood beside Liu Jin, watching the result that had been settled suddenly change, and he felt very angry.

Li Wu felt that if he let Zhu Qing'an go today, he didn't know if he would have another chance next time.

"What do they think, what do you think, has nothing to do with the princess? What? Are you Princess Yongfu's sisters or Princess Yongfu's children? Do you still need Princess Yongfu to discipline you?" Old Lady Bian said bluntly, her tone quick and aggressive.

This statement makes no sense at all, yet it is impossible to refute it. After all, morality and etiquette are bullshit to Old Lady Bian.

Back then, when she was a woman going to the battlefield, the noble ladies from Ancheng families scolded her countless times, but she still did the same. And she would beat up any noble lady who gossiped about her, and after that, no one dared to talk nonsense in front of her.

"It's just that the auspicious day was not chosen well, otherwise my Zhongyi Palace would have welcomed Princess Yongfu into the mansion long ago! I'm going to say this today. If anyone dares to talk about my daughter-in-law behind her back again, this short blade in my hand won't see blood for a long time!" Old Lady Bian touched the short blade at her waist, her eyes colder than the blade.

No one dared to doubt what Old Lady Bian said. After all, they had heard the legend of Old Lady Bian since they were young. She was never a woman who played by the rules.

"You know it well!" Old Madam Bian suddenly pulled out a shiny dagger and pointed it at Liu Jin, as if she would swing the dagger in the next second and no one would doubt it.

Liu Jin did have other plans in mind just now. After she left here, she wanted to spread the news that Zhu Qing'an was pregnant out of wedlock. Even if she couldn't kill Zhu Qing'an, she would at least destroy her.

Liu Jin looked at the dagger that was about to touch his cheek, swallowed his saliva in fear, and nodded quickly.

"What about you?" Old Lady Bian then pointed the dagger at Li Wu.

Liu Jin didn't even dare to confront the old lady, let alone Li Wu. Even though he was unwilling, he cared more about his own life.

Li Wu nodded, and then the old lady looked at the many noble ladies and gentlemen in the plum garden, smiling fearlessly and calmly.

"You can go back and ask your parents what kind of person I am and what I can do!" After saying this, Mrs. Bian set her eyes on Zhu Qing'an.

Zhu Qing'an was at a loss what to do when she was looked at by Old Madam Bian. She really didn't expect that the scene of her meeting with Old Madam Bian would be like this.

Not only was he in a miserable state, he was even carrying someone else's son's flesh and blood. At this moment, even the calm Zhu Qing'an couldn't help but feel a little flustered, and didn't even know how to explain it.

Old Madam Bian just glanced at Zhu Qing'an, and then looked at the royal guards around her.

"Since when has the Imperial Guard been able to be ordered around by a little girl? Or, do the Imperial Guards want to have a showdown with my guards today?" Old Lady Bian looked at the Imperial Guards.

Her voice was very calm, her eyes even peaceful, yet for no reason she made people feel a sense of blood and gore.

The leader of the Imperial Guards raised his hand and saluted Madam Bian, then waved his hand, and the Imperial Guards, who had been showing off their might, instantly withdrew from the Plum Garden.

No one expected that the Imperial Guards, who were the personal guards of His Majesty, would be so timid towards a woman like the old lady.

Only Zhong Yi understood. She had already retreated to Zhu Qing'an's side and explained in a low voice, "The guards around Aunt Xu were the personal guards of the old Loyal King. Even if the Royal Guards were to fight them, they would have no chance of winning!"

After hearing this, Zhu Qing'an glanced at the servants standing outside the Plum Garden. These servants looked plain and simple, and both their dress and aura seemed to be just ordinary servants, but he didn't expect them to have such abilities.

"Maybe?"

After dealing with everyone, Old Lady Bian looked at Zhu Qing'an and asked.

"Yes!" Zhu Qing'an answered quickly. After Mrs. Bian finished speaking, she walked out and Zhu Qing'an followed her.

The Fifth Princess, Zhu Baiwei and others stayed behind. The Fifth Princess still needed to persuade everyone about this matter. Only Zhong Yi followed behind them eagerly.

The group walked out of the plum garden. Zhu Qing'an clenched his hands tightly, not knowing how to start the conversation. It seemed that whatever he said would be inappropriate at this moment.

"Aunt Xu, why are you here?" Zhong Yi walked beside Zhu Qing'an, reached out and patted Zhu Qing'an's arm, and also supported Zhu Qing'an's arm.

After knowing that Zhu Qingan was pregnant, Zhong Yi was afraid that Zhu Qingan might make any mishap, and the careless person became more careful.

"Didn't Jingsheng tell you that I was feeling unwell in the winter and was resting here?" Old Lady Bian said, then slowed down her pace.

Although she was not a young girl, she had developed the habit of walking with big steps and very fast steps when she was young. Zhong Yi could keep up with her, but Zhu Qing'an was weak to begin with and was now pregnant, so it was naturally difficult for her to keep up.

"You know the prince's temper, so why would you say that? But it's a good thing that Aunt Xu is here today, otherwise it would be really bad!" Zhong Yi said, still with a look of fear on his face.

She didn't dare to think about what Bian Jingsheng would do if he returned to Ancheng and found out that Zhu Qing'an was injured and his child was in danger. Given Bian Jingsheng's protective nature, she didn't know what he would do.

"Hehe, it seems that your ability has declined!" Old Lady Bian glared at Zhong Yi.

Zhong Yi hurriedly laughed dryly. Since her parents passed away, it was the old King Zhongyi and Old Lady Bian who raised her, so in Zhong Yi's heart, Old Lady Bian was her relative.

"How can I compare with you, Aunt Xu!" Zhong Yi smiled apologetically. The two followed Old Lady Bian out of the hot spring palace, and later came to the villa where Old Lady Bian was temporarily staying.

After entering the house and Mrs. Bian sat down, a nanny quickly brought her hot tea.

"Change to warm milk!" Old Madam Bian ordered, then looked at the two girls who were still standing there and said unhappily, "Why don't you sit down and wait for me to treat you?"

Zhong Yi hurriedly took Zhu Qing'an by the hand and led him to sit down. Zhu Qing'an sat upright, still very nervous, wondering what Mrs. Bian's attitude towards him was.

Because she had encountered difficulties from Shen Shixin's mother before, Zhu Qing'an now has some headaches about the boy's mother. If Old Madam Bian is dissatisfied with her, she may need to reconsider her relationship with Bian Jingsheng.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable in your stomach?" Old Madam Bian looked at Zhu Qing'an. Her tone was not gentle, but full of concern.

"Fortunately, I'm not feeling unwell!" Zhu Qing'an answered quickly. At this moment, she looked very well-behaved sitting there.

"Were you scared today?" Old Lady Bian continued to ask. At this time, the nanny brought warm goat milk and gently placed it next to Zhu Qing'an.

"No!" Zhu Qing'an answered, and subconsciously picked up the goat milk and tasted it. It was unexpectedly delicious. Not only did it not have any smell, but because it was boiled with sugar water, it was very sweet, which just suppressed her previous panic.

"She does have some of Lingyao's grace!" A faint smile appeared on the corner of Old Lady Bian's mouth.

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Qing'an quickly put down the cup in his hand and asked, "Are the old lady and aunt familiar with each other?"

The girl is the empress dowager. When others mention her aunt, they all call her the empress dowager. However, Old Lady Bian calls her aunt by her name. This is not an ordinary relationship.

"Back in the day, Lingyao and I were close friends. She was a bit of a mischievous girl. If she hadn't entered the Eastern Palace and become the Crown Princess, she would have followed me to the battlefield!"

When Mrs. Bian mentioned her good friend, her eyes were filled with memories and her expression was full of tenderness.

Back then, as a woman who preferred martial arts to literature, many people looked down on her, but Lingyao was the only one who encouraged her. Later, when she was able to go to the battlefield, it was Lingyao who silently supported her from behind. Even when she was not well, it was Lingyao who brought her son into the palace and taught him attentively.

The friendship between the two of them cannot even be described as good friends.

Zhu Qing'an suddenly realized that there was such a relationship between Old Lady Bian and her aunt.

"Madam Bian, I..." Zhu Qing'an looked at Madam Bian, thinking about how to start the conversation, but found it difficult to speak.

She couldn't tell Mrs. Bian that the baby in her belly was your son's.

In this world, it has always been shameful for unmarried women to be pregnant. Even if she is pregnant with Bian Jingsheng's child, and even if Madam Bian is different from ordinary women, Zhu Qing'an does not think that Madam Bian will really understand her.

Perhaps in the eyes of Old Lady Bian, I am that kind of woman who does not love herself, and perhaps she even thinks that I am not worthy of her son.

Old Madam Bian waved her hand, as if she could see Zhu Qing'an's embarrassment, and did not let Zhu Qing'an, a girl, speak.

After drinking a sip of tea, Madam Bian asked, "Does Jingsheng know that you are pregnant?"

Old Lady Bian knew her son quite well. He was not a promiscuous person who could not control his body. Since he had physical contact with Zhu Qing'an, he must have liked the girl in front of him very much.

Moreover, his son is a very responsible man. Logically, if his son knew that the girl was pregnant with his child, he would marry her home no matter what and take on his responsibilities as a man, instead of letting the girl endure all those rumors and embarrassment.

If her son is such an irresponsible person, she, as a mother, will not forgive him.

"He doesn't know yet!" Zhu Qing'an whispered. To be honest, he was the one who was at fault in this matter. He had concerns in his heart and didn't know how to start the conversation. Then, when he wanted to speak, Zhong Yi interrupted him. Then, Bian Jingsheng left Ancheng, and the matter came to nothing.

Originally, Zhu Qing'an thought that it would not be too late to tell Bian Jingsheng after he came back, but he did not expect such a thing to happen.

"Why?" Old Madam Bian was a little puzzled. Although Zhu Qing'an in front of her did not look pregnant, she must have been pregnant for more than a day or two. Why did she keep it a secret all this time?

"Jingsheng seems... not to like children!" Zhu Qingan explained.

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Bian suddenly slammed the table hard, and the teacups on the table vibrated.

"Asshole!" Old Lady Bian was furious. She looked at Zhu Qing'an and held out her hand. "Don't worry, he won't dare do anything stupid while I'm here! This child is my grandson, I will definitely protect him!"
