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

"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and to celebrate the birth of a prince consort in our area, I've decided to present each table with a jar of Daughter's Red wine as a token of my congratulations!"

The teahouse owner's face was full of joy, and then the waiters indeed served wine to every table. Xie Jinglan glanced at Jiang Yuyue's expression out of the corner of his eye.

Although Xie Jinglan had bumped into Xie Yunqi once before at the entrance of Baili Zixuan Mansion, he assumed that Jiang Yuyue was unaware that Xie Yunqi was still alive and had become a prince consort. He never expected to run into the teahouse owner celebrating Xie Yunqi's birthday today. He wondered if she would notice anything amiss.

But Jiang Yuyue's expression was somewhat unexpected. Hearing the boss's words, Jiang Yuyue didn't react much. Her smile was exactly the same as everyone else's, and she congratulated them, saying, "That's really a great event for us here!"

After saying this, Jiang Yuyue stood up, picked up the wine jar, took a sip, and couldn't help but praise, "This is truly a fine wine! The owner has really spared no expense! Ah Xi, you're in for a treat today!"

In contrast to Jiang Yuyue's lukewarm reaction, Jiang Huanxi frowned slightly.

A native of Jiangnan? Surnamed Xie? And a general?

These keywords, when they reached Jiang Huanxi's ears, inevitably made him think of Xie Yunqi.

There aren't many families with the surname Xie in the Jiangnan area, and even fewer who join the army. Could it be... could this prince consort be Xie Yunqi!?

But the moment this thought crossed his mind, Jiang Huanxi immediately dismissed it.

Although the Xie family was basically all bad, as the saying goes, bad bamboo produces good shoots. Jiang Huanxi still recognized Xie Yunqi's character. Since the news of his death had been around for so long, if he were really still alive, how could there not be any news about him at home?

The Xie family has always been snobbish. If Xie Yunqi had really climbed up to the princess, he would never have tolerated his sister. The whole family would have gone to the capital to live a good life long ago.

Even if we take a step back and assume that this General Xie is indeed Xie Yunqi...

Jiang Huanxi's expression hardened. He would never tolerate someone who abandoned his sister. Even if Xie Yunqi really became the prince consort, he would definitely break his legs and let him know what price he would pay for betraying his sister!

"Ah Xi? What are you standing there for? Hurry up and pour me some wine!"

Seeing that Jiang Huanxi's expression was off, Jiang Yuyue smiled and interrupted his thoughts. Although she had many doubts about this Prince Consort surnamed Xie, they were all just Jiang Huanxi's guesses and had no real basis. Therefore, she did not say anything, as it would not be good to upset her sister for no reason.

"okay."

Jiang Huanxi smiled and poured a bowl for Pei Jingchuan first. Although he didn't like Xie Jinglan, it would seem petty to deliberately ignore him at this moment, so he prepared to fill his bowl with wine as well.

"My third brother is not in good health and should not drink alcohol."

Jiang Yuyue reached out and blocked the bowl, "I'm pregnant now, so it's inconvenient for me to drink either. Ah Xi, you and General Pei can drink."

Hearing this, Jiang Huanxi curled his lips. He just couldn't stand how much his sister cared about Xie Jinglan, but thinking that there was good wine to drink, he was too lazy to argue with Xie Jinglan.

"I never imagined that such a small place like ours could produce a prince consort!"

The people at the next table were discussing it enthusiastically, "I wonder which family's young master is so lucky!"

"Exactly! Such a joyous occasion, why keep it a secret? Why not celebrate it properly!"

"I've heard that Princess Huajin is deeply favored by the current emperor!"

"..."

Listening to these discussions, Jiang Yuyue lost her appetite after only a few bites. She had racked her brains for so long, and even though she had ruined Xie Yunqi's manhood, it hadn't changed his future as the prince consort.

Xie Yunqi's ability to become a prince consort despite his impotence is truly remarkable.

It seems that some things are urgent.

Xie Jinglan noticed the changes in Jiang Yuyue and his eyes narrowed slightly.

He had a feeling that Jiang Yuyue knew Xie Yunqi was not dead and was the prince consort.

But upon closer examination, something seems off.

Now Jiang Yuyue is carrying his child. Once Xie Yunqi returns, how will she explain this child?

She must have been unaware that Xie Yunqi was still alive to dare to do something so audacious.

If she had known, why would she have gone to all this trouble? Besides, Xie Yunqi's return would surely expose them, since they hadn't consummated their marriage yet. How could Jiang Yuyue explain that?

"elder sister?"

Seeing that Jiang Yuyue's expression was a little off, Jiang Huanxi frowned. "Are you feeling unwell?"

"No."

Jiang Yuyue suppressed her disappointment and smiled, "It's just that I miss my parents a bit during the Mid-Autumn Festival. I wonder how they are doing."

Although she had managed to conceal her earlier unease, Jiang Yuyue still felt somewhat uneasy when talking about her parents.

Even though Jiang Yuyue had already sent her parents to the water town, if she wanted to investigate, their whereabouts would inevitably be exposed. Before completely eliminating Xie Yunqi, this unstable factor, she had to ensure her parents' safety.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuyue came up with another excuse and called Jiang Huanxi out.

"Oh right, there are a few things I forgot to tell my parents. It's too noisy here, Ah Huan, come out with me for a bit."

Jiang Huanxi naturally believed what her sister said without a doubt. She got up and followed Jiang Yuyue out of the teahouse. After the two walked a little further away, Jiang Yuyue showed a slightly worried expression.

"Sis? What happened?"

Jiang Huanxi noticed that her complexion wasn't good and immediately felt a pang of anxiety. "Could it be that the Xie family has come to cause you trouble again?"

"Now the Xie family lives off my money, who dares to give me attitude?"

Jiang Yuyue sighed, "I'm really worried about my parents' safety. I can't rest easy without you by their side. You must go to the water town outside the capital in a few days. I have a house in the capital. You can bring them there to live."

At this point, Jiang Yuyue added, "But we must not alert anyone to our whereabouts. Even if we go to the capital, we must not make a fuss and must live in anonymity. At the same time, we must continue our business in the water town. We should also hire a couple of similar age to our parents to live there, to create the illusion that our parents are still living there. We must not let anyone suspect anything is wrong, understand?"

Hearing this series of words, Jiang Huanxi was completely confused, but she still sensed that something was wrong.

Previously, it could be said that my sister sent our parents away to avoid the Xie family's debts, but they had already gone far away to the water town. Where did the Xie family get the energy to send people to chase them to such a far place?

And with so many places to travel to, could it be...?

"Sister? Did you make some enemies outside?"

Jiang Huanxi said in a deep voice, "You only need to tell me who it is. There's no need for all this trouble. Our family has plenty of people. We can just spend some money to hire some assassins and confront him head-on!"
