I'm already dressed like a fool, what's wrong with taking the regent into the bridal chamb

"Mrs. Jiang, are you unwilling to give in?"

Wen Qingzhi said.

"Miss Wen, you're joking. What reason do you have to take someone from our Jiang Mansion away?"

As the situation became tense, Jiang Yao shouted from behind Wen Qingzhi, "Wen Qingli and I have already secretly decided to spend our lives together. If he comes back, I'll come and ask for your hand in marriage! It's just that... he couldn't come back..."

Jiang Yao choked up, tears streaming down her face. "The child in my arms is his only remaining flesh and blood! Although I'm a Jiang, I'm also a Wen. It's perfectly fine for her to take us away!"

She knew that if she said this in broad daylight, she would be cursed by the world.

so what?

The Jiang family came to see me today, and the reason they gave was very clear. They wanted me to be a bargaining chip and sleep with them!

If I don't leave today, neither she nor her child will survive!

Compared to fate, what is fame?

It's just that—I'm sorry for the Wen family and for jeopardizing their century-old reputation...

A hundred years later, she will go down and apologize to Wen Qingli!

"you!"

Wang was almost pissed off to death by this bitch!

She looked around and saw a group of people pointing at them, as if they wanted to poke their fingers into the Jiang family's heads!

"Jiang Yao!"

She snapped, "Are you crazy?"

"What nonsense are you talking about in broad daylight? You clearly picked up that child! Didn't I tell you? I know you're kind-hearted and want to take him in. Didn't we agree on the way here that we'd let the child stay with the Jiang family when we opened the business?"

"What nonsense are you talking about right now!?"

How could there be such a stupid woman!

It's okay for her to die, but she shouldn't bring shame to the Jiang family and bring shame to her own daughter!

"I'm not talking nonsense!"

Jiang Yao also risked her life, "This child is Wen Qingzhi's blood! If you don't believe it, you can just drop a blood test to prove your relationship!"

She cried, "What are you planning? We told you all clearly on the way! If I don't leave today, my child will be killed by someone else's sword!"

She hugged the child tightly, "I, Jiang Yao, have lived for so many years, and I believe I have never done anything to let the Jiang family down. But today, I will not enter the Jiang Mansion!"

Jiang Yao sobbed, "I know all about the Jiang family! Otherwise, my aunt wouldn't have died in despair!"

As she became more and more excited, Wang didn't dare to say anything to provoke her, for fear that she would say something she shouldn't say!

The fact that their daughter replaced Wen Qingzhi to get married these days has made the Jiang family despised. If something else happens now, his master will probably come back and divorce him as his biological mother!

Seeing this, Wen Qingzhi spoke kindly, "Madam Jiang, why don't you just follow my suggestion? I'll take them back first and investigate this matter. If it's true, our Wen family will acknowledge it. We will definitely go through three matchmakers and six betrothal gifts, and we will openly welcome Sister Jiang Yao into our mansion."

She gave Zhang He and the others a look, asking them to protect Jiang Yao and retreat, preparing to leave.

She said, "My Wen family is full of loyal and brave men who died tragically defending the North Sea... If any of my bloodline truly survives in this world, I will absolutely protect it."

After saying that, he turned and left, no matter what happened behind him.

On the way, Jiang Yao lowered her head and tucked the child into her arms, afraid of other people's gazes.

"What are you afraid of?"

Wen Qingzhi said, "You and my brother are in love with each other. It's human nature. It's true love."

"Little Stone is your blood, and naturally yours. If I were still here, I would never let you be bullied."

"Hold your head high. You are a mother and you should set an example for your children."

Wen Qingzhi said, "This child is of my Wen family bloodline, not a shameful illegitimate child. His father is a renowned major general, and his grandfather is also a world-renowned general!"

"Be a member of the Wen family, and you don't need to bow your head!"

The Wen family has guarded the Beiming for generations, fighting and dying for the Beiming.

No one is worthy of laughing at the people of Bei Ming!

With Wen Qingzhi's comfort, Jiang Yao was quite touched and gradually straightened her back.

When they arrived at the Wen Mansion, Mrs. Li and the others were waiting outside to greet them. They were quite touched when they saw Jiang Yao and the child in her arms.

Wen Qingzhi and Wen Qingli grew up under their care, so they were naturally happy to know that the eldest young master still had descendants in the world.

But, he didn't surpass Wen Qingzhi.

"Jiang Yao...sister-in-law."

She changed her tone, "Come with me to rest first, Sister Li. Please help clean up my brother's room, and then go to the street to buy some things and send them over..."

As he spoke, Little Stone said in a low voice, "Mom, I'm hungry..."

Jiang Yao's face turned red instantly, and she looked at Wen Qingzhi embarrassedly, as if to say sorry.

"Let Chunshuang and Chunlu clean up, and you go make some food for my sister-in-law and the others."

"Yes, slave, go right away."

After Mrs. Li left, Jiang Yao apologized: "I'm sorry, Azhi..."

"I'm just hungry, there's nothing to apologize for."

She subconsciously raised her hand to tease Little Stone, "From now on, you'll have all kinds of delicious food at Auntie's place."

It seemed that there was a guiding force in the dark that pushed her forward and made her gradually become more humane.

She was shocked by her own action. Fortunately, Xiao Shitou didn't hide, otherwise it would have been very embarrassing.

Wen Qingzhi kept calling Jiang Yao sister-in-law, making her confused.

While talking to her, she touched Xiao Shitou's head and took a few strands of hair.

Compared to blood test, she has a more intuitive method of identification.

She welcomed Sun Yao and his mother to her yard and asked Chunyu to boil some water so that they could wash up after eating.

"I heard about you a few days ago and wanted to come look for you, but I was afraid... you would think I was trying to scam you, so I didn't dare come."

It’s not difficult to guess what Jiang Yao is thinking, after all, Wen Qingzhi used to be a fool.

Even if she gets better, who knows what she is thinking?

"It doesn't matter."

Wen Qingzhi said: "Looking at the situation today, it seems that the Jiang family..."

She didn't say anything else, and changed her words: "In the future, you will stay in the Wen Mansion, and I will support you."

Speaking of the Jiang Mansion, Jiang Yao was worried: "They will not give up until they achieve their goal. They won't give up even if they fail to bring me back today."

"I will take care of this matter. You can rest assured to stay here. If you want to go out, take—"

Suddenly I remembered that Zhang He and Zhang Liang were injured.

Her eyes darkened, "If you go out, take Zhang Xing with you."

"I don't need to go out, but I have some things outside the city that I want to go back and get."

Jiang Yao said, "My aunt's belongings are still there, along with my and Xiao Shitou's clothes..."

"You can take the relics, but I'll buy you new clothes. Let's start anew."

Wen Qingzhi thought, "I'll have someone bring everything over there later. Just take a look. Otherwise... I'm worried that the Jiang family will guess you're there and set up an ambush. There are fewer people outside the city, so it would be more convenient for them to do something if they really want to."
