Chapter 115 The Prince's Blood Still Lies in Her Belly
Xiao Liu followed behind Jiang Yuyue with her luggage, only daring to steal a glance back after they had walked a distance. "Miss, is that person Princess Huajin's brother?"
"Hmm." Jiang Yuyue responded, "If I remember correctly, it should be Prince Ning, Song Yunming."
Jiang Yuyue has spent most of her life in Jiangnan, and the only time she went to the capital was when she took Xie Jinglan to seek medical treatment. As a result, she doesn't know much about these royal matters.
Although she didn't know why the Prince of Ning was suddenly showing her kindness, her intuition told her that it couldn't be anything good.
The two women, mistress and servant, slipped into the alley and turned several corners. After confirming that no one was following them, they boarded a carriage and secretly took them to the back gate of the Jiang residence.
"Miss, you're finally back!"
The steward had received the news early and was waiting at the back door. He went forward and helped Jiang Yuyue down from the carriage. "It's good that you're divorced! It's good that you're divorced! Now, at least Miss doesn't have to stay there and suffer. It's convenient for this old servant to take care of you at all times when you come home!"
Seeing that Steward Xiang was as enthusiastic as ever, Jiang Yuyue's mood improved slightly, and she entered the mansion surrounded by the Jiang family's servants.
After dismissing everyone else, Jiang Yuyue asked about Steward Xiang.
"Butler Xiang, is there any progress on the matter I entrusted to you before?"
"Miss, we have found it."
The steward hesitated, "But Miss, what do you want with that disguise organization? This old servant asked about the price as you requested, but I didn't expect them to charge a thousand taels per person!"
One thousand taels?
Although the price was indeed high, it was nothing compared to the safety of the whole family.
"A thousand taels is a thousand taels."
Jiang Yuyue did not hesitate. "Steward Xiang, go to the accounting office and withdraw two thousand taels of silver. Give it to them and have them send two people over to impersonate my parents. You should handle this personally. Make sure they disguise themselves exactly like my parents, based on the portraits."
Although the housekeeper didn't understand her purpose in doing this, seeing Jiang Yuyue's serious expression, he didn't ask any further questions, simply responded and went out to carry out his duties.
The reason why Jiang Yuyue went to such lengths to stage this was quite simple. After all, if the Jiang couple had not returned, it would arouse suspicion. So she wanted to find these people to create the illusion that her parents were living at home.
However, Jiang Yuyue's purpose was certainly not to make these people scapegoats for the Jiang family, but only to temporarily cover up the truth.
If the Jiang family were to face a great calamity, she would naturally inform them in advance and help them avoid danger.
After giving these instructions, Jiang Yuyue walked out of the inner room and stretched in the courtyard. As soon as she came out, she saw Xiao Liu holding the hand of the maid Jasmine and complaining incessantly.
"Jasmine, you really have no idea how much money our young lady has wasted on the Xie family!"
After holding it in for months, Xiao Liu finally had someone to confide in. "Before, we provided the Xie family with the best food and wine every day. Whatever jewelry the Xie family's daughter wanted to buy, our young lady would grant it. Later, we gave Xie Erlang four thousand taels of silver to pay off his gambling debts. After the Xie family squandered all their money, we even arranged accommodation for them!"
"In the end, we got divorced. Although we didn't care about the marriage with the Xie family, they actually gave us a few shops from the Xie family to get rid of us. Did they really think that our Jiang family would care about such a paltry sum?!"
Xiao Liu's complaints reached Jiang Yuyue's ears, causing her to sigh helplessly.
"Jasmine, don't listen to that little Liu's nonsense."
Jiang Yuyue smiled and walked towards the two of them. "When have you ever seen me give away money for nothing? Although I have spent a lot on the Jiang family, what Xiao Liu said is indeed a bit exaggerated."
"For example, the jewelry I bought for Xie Yuan, only that stupid girl Xiao Liu didn't recognize that the Treasure Pavilion was our Jiang family's property. I bought it for her, but it was just like taking my money from one pocket to another."
"As for the Xie family being driven away by the casino, although they cooperated with the casino at the time and all the Xie family's land deeds belonged to Wansheng Casino, I had already negotiated with the casino manager that after they finished inventorying the Xie family's belongings, they would all belong to me. How could I let the Xie family take all the benefits? The Xie family didn't keep a single hairpin that was given away; they treated it all as a gift."
"And the house you mentioned that was arranged for the Xie family, is that even a place fit for human habitation? It's just a way to spend a little money and find ways to torment them."
Xiaoliu was taken aback by these words. She was so focused on the money that she hadn't paid attention to these minor details!
"I knew that Miss would never do such a losing business."
Jasmine chuckled softly upon hearing this, and reached out to pinch Xiaoliu's cheek. "This girl Xiaoliu is so careless following Miss. Miss really should punish her properly!"
Xiao Liu quickly defended herself, "It's clearly Miss who kept all these things from me, making me worry for so long for no reason!"
Back in her familiar surroundings, without having to live in constant fear, Jiang Yuyue felt much more relaxed. However, the thought of Xie Yunqi's sudden return still made her somewhat uneasy.
She didn't know which step went wrong, but Xie Yunqi had returned so early than in her previous life, and even brought along a Prince of Ning with unknown motives. With this added unstable factor, she needed to reconsider her plan.
However, the only thing that remains unchanged is that Jiang Yuyue will never let the Xie family off easily.
As for the Xie family, since Jiang Yuyue left, the backyard where Xie Jinglan lived has become even more desolate. After all, the rest of the Xie family didn't care about his life or death. However, Xie Jinglan was quite content with this. In contrast to his nonchalant attitude, Jixiang was full of worries.
After all, Jiang Yuyue's departure was too sudden, and she left so decisively right after signing the divorce agreement with Xie Yunqi, as if she had no attachment to this place at all.
Although Jixiang could understand Jiang Yuyue's situation, once she left and returned to the Jiang family to live her own good life, would she still remember her own prince?
The thought that Jiang Yuyue was carrying the bloodline of their prince made Jixiang uneasy.
"Your Highness."
After watching Jiang Yuyue return to the Jiang family, Feng Ling hurriedly returned to report on the day's events. "This servant has escorted Jiang Yuyue home, but when she left the Xie family's gate, she unexpectedly ran into Prince Ning. He seemed to have come specifically for Jiang Yuyue, saying that he came to apologize on behalf of Princess Huajin and to see Jiang Yuyue off."
Upon hearing this, Xie Jinglan's face immediately darkened.
