After the eldest sister-in-law of a fishing family became a widow, her disabled younger brother-in-l

"What!?"

A gasp came from a nearby corner.

After Xie Yunqi briefly explained his current situation, Xie Longqing was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. "You... you've actually become a prince consort!?"

"Exactly."

Xie Yunqi nodded. "The person who came with me just now is Prince Ning, Princess Huajin's brother. Princess Huajin has also arrived in Jinling and is staying at Tongfu Inn. I came back early today to discuss the divorce with Jiang Yuyue."

Prince Ning!?

Although he had guessed that the man from earlier was probably no ordinary person, he never expected that it would be the famous Prince Ning! No wonder there were rumors that Prince Ning would come to Jiangnan some time ago; it turns out that this was the reason!

However, Xie Longqing felt a chill of fear when he thought about it. Xie Yuan had been so rude just now. Fortunately, His Highness Prince Ning did not blame him!

But the joy of getting close to the princess quickly overshadowed his worries. Xie Longqing's face lit up with delight. "Good! Good! As expected of my good son, Xie Longqing, you've really made something of yourself! But as for the divorce you just mentioned, has Jiang Yuyue agreed?"

Xie Longqing quickly asked, "If she keeps pestering us, won't that displease the princess and Prince Ning?"

"She's actually quite sensible."

When Jiang Yuyue was mentioned, Xie Yunqi's expression darkened for a moment, but he quickly recovered. "I had a good talk with her just now, and she agreed to the divorce."

"Okay! That's good!"

Xie Longqing's face lit up with even more joy. "Although Jiang Yuyue is quite pretty and hasn't done anything wrong since she's been married into the family, there's no need for us to keep her around now that Princess Huajin has taken a liking to you. A mere pretty girl can't compare to the noble and precious Princess!"

Listening to his father's words, Xie Yunqi's eyes were dark and unreadable. After finishing his business with Xie Longqing, he left the Xie residence and prepared to return to Tongfu Inn.

However, to his surprise, as soon as Xie Yunqi boarded the carriage he had just arrived in, he discovered that Prince Ning, Song Yunming, was still inside and had not returned.

"Your Highness?"

Xie Yunqi was startled. "Didn't you already leave? Why are you still here?"

Song Yunming, however, smiled faintly and waved his folding fan, saying indifferently, "I really didn't expect that you, Yunqi, would be so fortunate."

Blessing?

These words stunned Xie Yunqi for a moment, but he quickly understood what he meant. Could it be that... the Prince of Ning was referring to Jiang Yuyue?

After all, apart from Jiang Yuyue, the Xie family doesn't seem to have anything else to offer. Could it be that Prince Ning has taken a liking to Jiang Yuyue?

Xie Yunqi was a shrewd man. After realizing what was happening, he immediately sighed, "It's hardly a blessing. Your Highness's words are too kind. My marriage to her was arranged by our parents and a matchmaker. I went to war after the hasty wedding and didn't have much affection for her. We didn't even have time to consummate our marriage."

Upon hearing this, Song Yunming's eyes flickered, and he nodded slightly, "Very good."

Seeing his reaction, Xie Yunqi was even more certain that Prince Ning had taken a fancy to Jiang Yuyue's beauty. However, this did not annoy him; on the contrary, he was delighted.

Since Prince Ning has taken a liking to Jiang Yuyue, he should naturally do this favor and present Jiang Yuyue to Prince Ning. In this way, he won't have to rush to get rid of him and can also gain some face in front of Prince Ning.

Prince Ning was not a man of lasting affection. Xie Yunqi knew very well that the women around Prince Ning were like flowing water, and he would replace them almost every now and then. As long as Prince Ning got tired of Jiang Yuyue, he would naturally get rid of her, and Xie Yunqi would not have to dirty his hands.

In this way, although Xie Yunqi divorced her, he still managed to elevate her to a higher position. A woman like Jiang Yuyue, who had been married before, could not find a man of higher status than Prince Ning. She would probably be extremely grateful to him in the future.

"Let's go."

Having witnessed the legendary beauty of Jiang Yuyue today, and hearing Xie Yunqi's words, Prince Ning, Song Yunming, was in a very good mood. "My sister must be getting impatient waiting at the inn."

……

Jiang Yuyue returned to the Xie family's residence from the Jiang family's house. As soon as she entered the house, Xiao Liu rushed to greet her.

"Miss, why didn't you say goodbye to me before you went out?"

Xiao Liu quickly asked, "What did the young master say? How did you explain your pregnancy to him? Did he say anything?"

"don’t worry."

Jiang Yuyue said calmly, "I kept the pregnancy a secret. I only told him that it was a lie to put the elders at ease, and he didn't suspect anything."

"But this isn't a long-term solution."

Xiaoliu said worriedly, "Your belly is getting bigger and bigger, and it will start to show soon. Once it gets big, even if we want to cover it up, people will find out sooner or later."

As she spoke, Xiaoliu bit her lip and tentatively suggested, "How about... how about we abort the baby while it's still early in the pregnancy?"

Jiang Yuyue rejected the suggestion without hesitation, saying, "There's no need for that."

Although she initially had a certain desire for revenge when she had the child with Xie Jinglan, she later found some enjoyment in the process as their relationship warmed up.

Furthermore, Xie Yunqi and Xie Jinbo, both legitimate sons of the Xie family, have already had their fertility rendered useless by her, making it absolutely impossible for them to have any more children.

As for the child in Princess Huajin Song Jinwan's belly...

Although Jiang Yuyue was initially puzzled by this, she has now sorted out her thoughts. After all, Xie Yunqi would never allow a woman to get pregnant, so the child in Song Jinwan's belly could not possibly be Xie Yunqi's child.

Once this child is born, his existence will be like a thorn stuck in Xie Yunqi's flesh, making him constantly suffer the humiliation of raising someone else's child. And when the child's true bloodline is revealed later, it will inevitably deal Xie Yunqi another heavy blow.

Therefore, even if Jiang Yuyue's affair with her brother-in-law is exposed in the future, the child in her belly will still be a Xie family child. The Xie family has always valued offspring highly. I wonder if they will endure the humiliation and accept the bastard child in the princess's arms, or choose the child in her belly?

The thought of the Xie family facing such a choice in the end made Jiang Yuyue want to laugh.

Of course, it doesn't matter who the father of the child in her belly is.

Most importantly, she is Jiang Yuyue's bloodline. The Jiang family is large and powerful, and since she was a child, there have been many men who have coveted her family's wealth and wanted to get close to her. Now that she has a child whose father has died to inherit the family business, it is not bad. At least she does not have to worry about the child's father eyeing her property.
