The little fox is super pregnant, the heir-less boss is spoiling her like crazy
Chapter 113: Black Lotus Factory Supervisor vs. Duke's Mansion Fake Gold
On this day, Duke Jiang was on vacation, and he ordered his people to clean up the farm outside the city early in the morning, preparing to stay there for a while. In recent days, some people have come with betrothal geese to propose marriage.
It would be fine if they were good people, but they are all dirty and wicked. Not only do they have no self-awareness, but they also talk nonsense, saying that they don't mind that her daughters have been married before, and even say that she can marry him and her two daughters together.
At this time, Madam Jiang came in with a mournful look on her face. Duke Jiang's face darkened, and the corners of his mouth tightened. Madam Jiang, however, seemed not to notice. She cried until her voice was hoarse. When she came to Duke Jiang, her legs gave way and she knelt down, looking like she was about to faint from crying.
Seeing her like this, Duke Jiang thought of all the troubles he had been having recently, and he couldn't help but get angry. He spoke in a harsher tone and scolded her, "If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you crying like this? You are the wife of a duke, not a country woman. You have lost your temper."
With the help of the nanny, Madam Jiang reluctantly sat down on the couch. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, her face bitter and trembling, she said: "Master, our family is in great trouble. Miss Xian, Miss Xian... She actually had a miscarriage. What should we do?"
Upon hearing this, Duke Jiang jumped up from his stool. His pupils trembled, and his face was filled with fear and disbelief. His lips trembled for a long time before he asked with difficulty, "What did you just say? Say it again?"
Mrs. Jiang's heart sank. The master was indeed angry.
Then she sobbed and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. She looked at Duke Jiang and said with deep sorrow, "Sister Xian had breakfast this morning and then started bleeding. I think she's had a miscarriage."
Duke Jiang was speechless for a moment. She was fine yesterday, how could she suddenly have a miscarriage? This was too sudden. Duke Jiang was very angry and scolded: "What do you mean by 'estimate'? But the doctor has been here to see her. The emperor values the child in her belly very much. If there is no reasonable explanation, our entire palace will be doomed."
Duke Jiang wanted to scold Madam Jiang for being so confused and confused that she could only cry when faced with such a serious matter. She did not behave like the mistress of the Duke's Mansion at all. But seeing her crying so hard, he felt pity for her and did not pursue the matter further.
"I've asked a knowledgeable maid in the mansion to take a look, and she said she's had a miscarriage." Madam Jiang stopped crying and choked up, "We've also found some clues. They say there was something extra in the meal this morning. But some people say the meal was sent by Shi Yun. I think that although Shi Yun and Sister Xian are not close, she is a good child after all, and she would definitely not do such a thing. What's more, Shi Yun is now closely connected with the palace, so we don't think we can just wrong her like this."
As she spoke, Madam Jiang knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately, repeatedly emphasizing that Jiang Shiyun had close contacts with Director Lou, and that he could gain face in front of the emperor. Even if he had done something really treasonous, she asked Duke Jiang to endure it.
Duke Jiang's face darkened instantly, and he became increasingly dissatisfied with Jiang Shiyun. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He slammed his hand on the table and said angrily, "Investigate this matter. This matter must be thoroughly investigated. If it was really Shiyun who did it, she will naturally bear the corresponding consequences for what she did."
Duke Jiang did not realize that when he said this, his balance had already tilted towards Madam Jiang.
Everyone in the Duke's Mansion soon arrived at Jiang Xian's yard.
Seeing Jiang Shiyun's thin clothes, the eldest brother couldn't help but remind her, "It's cold these days. When you go out, ask the people around you to be more attentive and don't get sick."
Jiang Shiyun nodded, but when she heard about this, she always felt that the person coming was not kind. The last time she heard about miscarriage was in the palace. If it weren't for Lou Jingyuan, she might not have been able to prove her innocence so easily.
But according to her inference, Jiang Xian was most likely pregnant, and now that something strange had happened, she was afraid that something was fishy, so she had to be on guard.
She raised her head and looked at Jiang Shiqi with curiosity, and asked curiously: "Brother, why did Sister Xian have a miscarriage for no reason? Is there any hidden reason behind this?"
Jiang Shiqi didn't know much. He had just left court today and heard about this when he came back. He was really surprised.
Seeing Jiang Shiyun coming, Duke Jiang, who had been sitting silently in his high seat, stretched out his hand to her and called her over. After Jiang Shiyun came in front of him, he asked with a cold face, "I heard that these days, you have been asking the maid to go to the kitchen to make you some food?"
Jiang Shiyun immediately looked up at Duke Jiang, her face full of confusion. She replied calmly, "Yes, I've been eating a lot lately, so I asked the maid to come over and make some food to satisfy my craving."
Madam Jiang stepped forward and grabbed the corner of Jiang Shiyun's clothes, weeping bitterly. She cried very sadly, "If you have any resentment, just blame mother. Why did you kill my sister Xian? She suffered so much for you outside for so many years. It's already very unfortunate. Don't bully her anymore."
Jiang Shiyun was speechless after hearing her words. He laughed in anger and said, "So, this means I harmed the baby in her belly?"
Madam Jiang gently wiped away the tears from her eyes and said, "I've sent someone to investigate. Only your maid had the chance to touch the porridge that Sister Xian ate this morning. If it wasn't you, who else could it be?"
Jiang Shiyun was speechless for a moment. She exhaled slowly, forcing herself to calm down. She asked with clear mind, "First of all, I have no reason to harm the baby in Jiang Xian's belly. Secondly, whoever went into the small kitchen must have harmed her. Then, I have to ask, does that servant stay outside all the time? People have urgent needs. If someone went in when he signed in to use the restroom, who knows."
Madam Jiang blushed and said vaguely, "You are just making up stories. How can there be so many coincidences?"
Jiang Shiyun looked up at Duke Jiang and said aggrievedly, "These past few days, I've stayed at home, guarding my own courtyard. How could such dirty water be thrown on me? If my grandmother were still alive, she would definitely not tolerate my being so wronged."
Duke Jiang was originally feeling frustrated, but when he saw Jiang Shiyun crying, he couldn't help but feel distressed. After all, she was his daughter whom he had held in his hands and spoiled for so many years.
Besides, before the old lady passed away, her only wish was to take good care of her. Duke Jiang finally softened his heart, and his tone became warmer. He said soothingly, "Don't cry for now. Be patient and sit down first. We are only investigating the ins and outs of this matter, and we are not saying that you did it."
When Mrs. Jiang heard this, her heart sank suddenly.
She was about to speak when suddenly, Jiang Xian's heart-wrenching screams came from the room. A maid ran out in panic, saying tremblingly, "It's terrible. Miss Xian is going to die."
Jiang Shiyun's eyes lit up instantly and the corners of his mouth relaxed. The opportunity had come.
