The eldest daughter's scheming, the crown prince's exclusive favor to the venomous concubi

Bai Jianan smiled sarcastically and said, "Of course, you are all Yueyue's darlings. If I were to take action, wouldn't that make Yueyue sad? I would never do anything to make Yueyue sad, unlike some people who talk about protecting her but do things that hurt her."

Chu Tianyi looked at Jian Yue, remained silent for a moment, then closed his eyes and said, "I'm sorry."

Jian Yue shook her head, suddenly feeling a metallic taste in her throat. She frowned slightly, forcibly suppressing the discomfort, swallowed the metallic liquid, and said, "You can go now."

Chu Tianyi stubbornly remained still, staring intently at Jian Yue. However, Jian Yueming had neither the mood nor the energy to look at her. Instead, she turned to Bai Xiaowan and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

Bai Xiaowan grinned and patted his chest, saying, "Thick-skinned and tough, I can take a beating."

Seeing that Bai Xiaowan was alright, Jian Yue finally felt relieved, but suddenly a wave of dizziness swept over her, causing her to sway. Cheng Guyuan, with her sharp eyes, noticed this and immediately called out, "Sister Yue, what's wrong?"

Bai Jianan had already stopped Jian Yue with one hand, but looked at her and said, "How are you? I'll take you to find a doctor."

Cheng Guyuan squeezed forward, took her pulse, and said, "It's not good. Sister is suffering from a sudden onset of heart disease."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaowan said to Chu Tianyi, "Is this how you show your affection for my Yueyue? I'm so glad she doesn't like you at all."

Bai Xiaowan was so angry that she was about to rush forward again, but Bai Haitang held her down tightly. Jian Yue said weakly, "Xiaowan, forget it. He has been kind to me."

Bai Xiaowan snorted and put down her longsword, saying, "Yueyue is right. Being ungrateful is worse than being a pig or a dog. We don't do that. But today, we're even. Get lost!"

Chu Tian ignored Bai Xiaowan's words and walked straight towards Jian Yue, wanting to see her. Upon seeing this, Bai Xiaowan immediately blocked his way. Chu Tian frowned, and after a long while, he said with restraint, "Get out of the way."

Bai Xiaowan sneered: "What right do you have to order me around?"

Chu Tianyi said, "I just want to see her."

Bai Xiaowan immediately laughed and said, "Let's see if she'll be alright? Will she miscarry? And if she does, will you still have a chance? Ha! Chu Tianyi, that's what you're thinking, isn't it? Don't rush to refuse, that's just the kind of person you are."

I remember how you drove Yueyue to this state. She still remembers your kindness to her, but what about you? She's in this state now, and you still won't let her go? It's clear that you're no match for Bai Jianan. After all, he would never hurt us in front of Yueyue, let alone let her suffer like this.

I should be glad, Yueyue, you have great taste in men. I support you! A man should choose someone who cherishes you, not someone with such a bad temper. Be careful, after marriage, he might abuse you at the slightest provocation. Humph!

Jian Yue immediately rubbed her forehead and said, "What a mess this is! You're just making things worse. Stop talking."

As Jian Yue spoke, she looked at Chu Tianyi and asked, "Now that things are like this, what more do you want?"

Chu Tianyi looked at Jian Yue, his eyes filled with grievance and pain, and said, "Then what about me? What am I supposed to do? I just want you to look at me."

Jian Yue said, "And then? Chu Tianyi, I feel you've been wronged, you feel you've been hurt, but haven't you also hurt others? The way you are now is not even a third as good as He Xinle was to you. How will you treat her if I kiss you?"

We're all the same. She likes you, which means you'll like her too, so you like me. But I really can't like you. The only thing I can do is wish you well and hope you find someone who loves you.

Because I considered you a friend, I assumed that the sword strike I just delivered was unintentional, born of anger. However, if you still cling to the idea of ​​us being apart, then I'm sorry, I truly can't help you. A heart cannot be divided in two, and besides, I am all alone.

As Jian Yue spoke, she said to Bai Xiaowan, "Xiaowan, go outside and tell the shopkeeper that we will compensate for the items in this room at their original price, and book a few more guest rooms so we can stay here."

Bai Xiaowan immediately responded, snorted coldly at Chu Tianyi, and turned to leave. Cheng Guyuan hid behind Bai Haitang and said weakly to Jian Yue, "Sister, please don't say anything more. Your body is very weak right now, and you need to rest. If you are not careful, you might really get pregnant. If it causes a miscarriage, it will affect you for the rest of your life."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jianan immediately tensed up. Forgetting about confronting Chu Tianyi, he picked up Jian Yue and headed towards the door. As he passed Chu Tianyi, he coldly said, "If anything happens to her, I will absolutely not forgive you."

Chu Tian pursed his lips and glanced sideways to see that Jian Yue had already closed her eyes slightly. Her pale face was not feigned, and her hand trembled slightly: "I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Bai Haitang interrupted him with a smile, saying, "I think it would be better for you, young prince, not to continue this entanglement. Miss Shangguan's current situation is all because of you. If a real problem arises, I'm afraid you, young prince, will be held responsible for the rest of your life."

Chu Tianyi paused, and Bai Jianan walked past him with a cold face. Bai Haitang walked over, curtsied to Chu Tianyi, and said, "Young Prince, true feelings are not about fighting with swords, but about blessings. I don't know what your feelings are for Miss Shangguan, or how deep they are, but I understand that forced relationships are never sweet. Miss Shangguan and the young master are deeply in love, and no one can separate them. Can't you do me a favor and offer your blessings?"

After Bai Haitang finished speaking, she took Cheng Guyuan's hand and left the private room, leaving Chu Tianyi standing there alone, lonely and silent.

Jian Yue's body was like a giant wave crossing the sea. Due to a sudden emotional trauma, she fell seriously ill and almost suffered a tragic outcome. Fortunately, Bai Jianan took care of her every step of the way and provided her with top-quality tonics. Finally, after a month, Jian Yue's body recovered.

When Jian Yue was finally able to get out of bed, she discovered that she had gained quite a bit of weight.

Bai Xiaowan has been very busy lately. Jian Yue knows that she is busy dealing with her own affairs, so she doesn't ask too many questions. She only asked about her appreciation when Bai Xiaowan took some time to come and visit her.

As expected, just as Jian Yue had predicted, Chu Tianyi's sword energy had indeed injured Bai Xiaowan. However, Bai Xiaowan was used to being beaten, so she endured it without reacting. She only collapsed after Jian Yue was settled by the doctor and rested in bed for three days.

Chu Tianyi is truly ruthless, except towards Jian Yue.

Jian Yue was helpless about this. Now she and Chu Tianyi had broken up. Even if they met again in the future, they would no longer have the same feelings. Especially Bai Jianan, because of the child, she almost got into trouble. Whenever Chu Tianyi was mentioned, she would have a gloomy face and look like she wanted to kill someone.

Moreover, since the incident, he seems to have become even more attached to Jian Yue. No matter how Jian Yue tries to get rid of him, he just won't leave. If Jian Yue is unhappy or throws a tantrum, he will just go out and stand at the door. As long as he hears something wrong inside, he will come in to check.

Several times when Jian Yue was dozing off, she could feel Bai Jianan tiptoeing in to cover her with a blanket and checking her forehead to see if she had a fever.

This meticulous care made Jian Yue lose her temper, and she spent her days eating and drinking, which led to her current state.

Across from her, Cheng Guyuan sat in a chair, embroidering intently. Jian Yue had never touched such a thing before. After watching for a while, she said boredly, "I'm all better now, so why won't you let me go out shopping? I'm telling you, Yuanyuan, you're not cute at all now."

Cheng Guyuan looked up and said seriously, "You've recovered now, but you caused such a big commotion back then, so you can't be careless. It's better to rest for a few more days. Besides, Xiaowan's matter will be resolved soon. Wouldn't it be great if the three of us went out to play together then?"

Jian Yue said helplessly, "But I've been staying indoors for a month now! It's really uncomfortable."

In fact, even if Jian Yue stayed in the room for another month, she wouldn't feel uncomfortable. After all, she had lived in the dark, damp, and cold dungeon for more than ten years.

The reason for this is because of White Canaan.

Ever since she started to recover, Bai Jianan has been subtly hinting at marriage plans, saying things like there should be a wedding banquet after the child is born, and that having a child before marriage would embarrass her grandfather. What? If they don't get married, the child will face discrimination?

In short, Bai Jianan kept nagging every day until Jian Yue's ears were calloused. She wanted to stop him from talking, but seeing him so happy, even seriously learning how to make a Trojan horse, she couldn't bear to spoil his mood.

And then there's the child. Ever since she found out she was pregnant, she's felt very awkward. She even couldn't help but sit up every night and stare at her belly, trying to figure out how she got pregnant so quickly.

Ultimately, she was also afraid, afraid that this was just a dream. The more surprised and moved she was by Bai Jianan's words, "Have a child for me," the more surprised and worried she was now.

She was afraid that her child would end up like she had in her previous life, but she also knew that this was just her worry. But she was still afraid, even more afraid that she would not be able to keep the child and lose the chance to be a mother again.

Terrified, and caught off guard by Bai Jianan's honey attack, she nearly lost her city and territory—a truly difficult situation.

"Ugh!"

After the 208th sigh, Bai Xiaowan came in and said with a smile, "I came back early today, so I came to see you and see that you're recovering well, Yueyue."

Jian Yue smiled and said, "We've been looking forward to your return. You've been leaving early and returning late these past few days. If you didn't know better, you would have thought you went out to meet your lover."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaowan suddenly smiled, her eyes filled with coldness, and said, "You're right, you did go to meet your lover, but it was your former lover, now my brother-in-law."

"Ouch!"

Cheng Guyuan was startled by these words. Unconsciously, she pricked her finger with the embroidery needle, cried out, and put the pricked finger in her mouth. Bai Xiaowan immediately laughed and said, "Chengcheng, what are you doing? We seem to have eaten a lot of meat these past few days, why are you craving it again?"
