Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage

Chapter 631: Chapter 631: After the Prosperity

As Ms. Liu grew emotional, she kneeled down, giving Jiang Ning a bow of respect.

Jiang Ning quickly helped her up. “Aunt Liu, you shouldn’t do this. You are one of my elders. Over the years, when I was not at home, my mother was not in good health and you were the one taking care of the household. You have worked hard.”

Ms. Liu felt slightly ashamed: “No, I didn’t do well.”

When Jiang Ning got lost at the age of three, it was Jiang Ruobai’s fault. He felt so guilty that he could not face Lin Zizi.

Lin Zizi held a grudge against him and refused to see him. Her mental state deteriorated over time.

Jiang Ruobai outwardly favored Aunt Liu and Fifth Daughter, but in truth, it was just a way to divert his deep sense of guilt and pain.

This led to the arrogant and domineering attitude of Jiang Yuan.

It also gave Aunt Liu the false impression that she had more authority than Lin Zizi, the legitimate wife.

During those years, Aunt Liu caused a lot of trouble, mistreating Aunt Bai and Sixth Miss to the extent that they were unable to stand tall. Jiang Ruobai paid no attention and Lin Zizi could not manage the situation.

The grandmother in the family was so upset about the situation that she decided to move to the outskirts for some peace.

Jiang Yi also opted to stay at the Academy for most of the year, rarely returning home.

After Jiang Ning returned, the relationship between Jiang Ruobai and Lin Zizi improved, and Jiang Yi finished his studies, came back for the Imperial Examination, and moved back home.

Aunt Liu’s apology was sincere.

She never expected Jiang Ning to bring such a wedding dress for Jiang Yuan.

The value of this dress was comparable to an emperor’s robe.

Aunt Bai said gently with a warm smile, “Alright, it’s Fifth Daughter’s special day today, let’s not bring up the past. From now on, you sisters should be friendly and support each other, so there’ll be nothing to fear.”

Jiang Yuan replied, “Seventh Sister is the Princess Consort. In the future, if anything happens, we’ll need her protection. I’ve got to get along well with Seventh Sister.”

Everyone laughed at this.

Jiang Yan also bit her lip.

Aunt Bai said, “After Fifth Daughter gets married, it will be Sixth Sister’s turn. If Seventh Sister has time, she should keep an eye out for someone suitable…”

“Aunt, why bring me up on Fifth Sister’s wedding day?” Jiang Yan blushed and interrupted Aunt Bai.

Jiang Ning laughed, “It’s not a big deal. When I return, I’ll ask around, and I promise to find Sixth Sister a good match.”

Jiang Yan’s face turned crimson.

Aunt Bai was delighted.

At this moment, Jiang Yi ran in, “The wedding procession is here, you all should get ready.”

The elder sisters from the main house had also arrived.

They all chatted and laughed as they properly arranged Jiang Yuan’s wedding veil.

According to tradition, Jiang Yi, the elder brother, carried his sister to her wedding.

Jiang Ning stood in the corridor, watching as Jiang Yi, carrying Jiang Yuan in her red dress, slowly left against the backdrop of the snow, and she vanished with the distant music and cheers.

She didn’t know why, but she felt a touch of sadness.

After the hustle and bustle, solitude came in the end.

Jiang Ning let out a soft sigh.

She had originally planned to stay here for a couple of days longer, but thinking about her two children and Mu Jian’s situation, she decided to return to the palace earlier.

She went to see Lin Zizi, talked with her for a while, and planned to visit Jiang Ruobai, but he was surrounded by colleagues drinking.

So she decided to not disturb them and walked out alone.

Xiachu and Gucheng followed her on both sides.

As she arrived at the back door, she saw a young man standing at the end of the alley, holding a cyan umbrella. He was dressed in a cotton robe and was very handsome.

It was He Tang.

Upon seeing Jiang Ning, he quickly put away his umbrella and walked over, bowing first, “Your servant pays his respects to the Princess Consort.”
