Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

After Chenxiang left, Ling Xiao asked, "Miss, do you really want to help her?"

Bai Zhiyuan smiled contemptuously and said, "Chenxiang is bent on climbing up the social ladder and has long regarded Jiang Muyun as a thorn in her side. Now that she knows her secret, she will naturally not sit still and wait for death. She came to me today just to test my attitude."

Ling Xiao was puzzled: "Miss, why can't I understand?"

Bai Zhiyuan smiled and said, "If Chenxiang wants to spread this, she has plenty of ways to do it. But when she came to me, she still had some concerns about me. She doesn't know what my attitude is towards Prince Yan and Jiang Muyun. Now she knows that I have no intention of marrying into Prince Yan's mansion, and she also knows that I hate Jiang Muyun, so she will spread this secret without restraint."

"This Chenxiang is too scheming." Ling Xiao said.

Bai Zhiyuan: "Don't worry about her, just let her be. I want to see what tricks she can come up with."

Ling Xiao was a little worried and asked, "Miss, will this damage your reputation?"

Bai Zhiyuan lowered his eyes and said, "It's fine. If this can help put some people's minds at ease, that would be good."

Ling Xiao: "Who are you talking about, Miss?"

Bai Zhiyuan shook his head: "No one. By the way, ask Wang Qing to send someone to keep an eye on Chenxiang and Prince Yan's Mansion in the next few days, and report to me in time if anything happens."

Ling Xiao nodded in agreement. Seeing that Bai Zhiyuan didn't know what she was thinking about, he didn't disturb her and left alone.

After Ling Xiao left, Bai Zhiyuan stood alone in front of the window. She looked out through the window and saw Tianxun still guarding her yard.

She didn't know what Jiang Muyun would do if Chenxiang went back and spread the matter, but with Qi Zeyi's methods, Chenxiang would definitely die.

But Bai Zhiyuan was not going to intervene. Chenxiang was too greedy. Such a person would die sooner or later. This was the path she had chosen, and for him, it was also revenge for his past life.

As for Jiang Muyun, she was able to endure to this extent and lived under his shadow for a long time, which made Bai Zhiyuan look at her with admiration.

But think about it, she is no longer the daughter of a great general, she does not have a distinguished family background, and her appearance is ruined. Even if Qi Zeyi still has some true feelings for her, what is the use? It is really ironic that her situation in the previous life is very similar to Jiang Muyun's now.

As for Qi Zeyi, once Chenxiang spreads this matter, it will inevitably spread to the palace, and the emperor will only be more disappointed in him. After all, no one wants the future crown prince to be a man who only cares about love. Moreover, the ministers in the court who want to marry their daughters to the Prince of Yan’s mansion will probably have to think carefully this time.

In this case, Qi Ze would surely be furious and ashamed, so how could Chenxiang survive?

As for herself, it was only her reputation that was damaged, and she no longer cared about it.

Bai Zhiyuan thought about this, smiled lightly, poured himself a cup of tea in a good mood, and waited quietly for the next exciting story.

After Chenxiang returned to Prince Yan's Mansion, he thought about how to make the matter a bigger deal.

Chenxiang thought hard, and finally one afternoon, she waited for Prince Yan on his way back and stopped him. She cried and told him that she could not see her child, and that her child had no name or status in Prince Yan's mansion.

Qi Zeyi was a little impatient and said, "Your child is also my child. I will not treat him unfairly."

Chen Xiang said again: "Your Majesty, my child is still a royal heir no matter what. How can Your Majesty bear to leave him without a name or status?"

Qi Ze thought for a moment, yes, the court has been holding on to him recently, and his father's attitude towards him is even more intriguing. Why not take this opportunity to disclose the child's identity and let his father pay attention to him again.

Qi Zeyi said, "You are right. How about this? I will hold a banquet in the mansion in the near future and invite some ministers to bring their families to the mansion to enjoy the flowers. Then I will formally bring the child to everyone. But remember that you have nothing to do with this child. The child cannot have a mother who is a maid. His mother is Aunt Jiang. Do you understand?"

Chenxiang sat on the ground for a long while before saying, "I understand."

Qi Zeyi had a plan in mind, so he held a banquet in his mansion and invited many colleagues in the court, including Bai Zhiyuan.

Bai Zhiyuan didn't want to get involved in this mess, so he took the opportunity to claim illness and rejected his invitation.

On the day of the banquet, Qi Zeyi brought his illegitimate son to the public. In fact, everyone knew the truth, but they pretended not to know who the child's biological mother was.

Qi Zeyi tried to explain this by saying, "My biological mother is his concubine Jiang."

But he did not let Jiang Muyun appear in front of anyone. Her appearance was ruined. Although she could use a human skin mask to cover it up, she still had to stay in her own yard in case someone noticed anything.

Because there was no longer a hostess in the Prince of Yan's Mansion, although Chenxiang had no name or status, she was still the Prince of Yan's woman after all, so she took on the responsibility of taking care of the guests.

After eating and drinking, Qi Zeyi and the male guests drank tea in the study.

Chenxiang's eyes turned, and he made an excuse to take everyone to visit the garden of Prince Yan's Mansion, and brought those noble ladies to the vicinity of Jiang Muyun's courtyard.

When Bai Zhiyuan received Chenxiang's letter, he instantly understood what she wanted to do. Although he had rejected Qi Zeyi's invitation before, he still packed up a little and set off for the Prince of Yan's Mansion.

Prince Yan's Mansion, a place she didn't want to set foot in, but she was afraid that there would be a good show to watch today.

Chenxiang brought all the ladies to the vicinity of Jiang Muyun's yard.

There was a large garden full of colorful flowers, and there were many young ladies who were interested in the King of Yan and were at the age of playing. Seeing this, Chenxiang prepared tools for these young ladies. The garden was surrounded by colorful butterflies, and the young ladies liked it very much. They picked up the tools prepared by Chenxiang and started chasing and catching butterflies.

Hu Feifei, the daughter of Hu Ziqiu, a fourth-rank minister, was always playful and had a lot of fun watching this. She chased a colorful butterfly all the way and watched it fly into Jiang Muyun's yard.

Hu Feifei didn't think much about it and was about to step into the yard, but was stopped by the guards at the door.

Chenxiang responded and said sternly, "How dare you! This is a distinguished guest of our mansion. Why are you servants trying to stop him?"

Guard: "The prince has ordered that no one is allowed to enter."

The ladies present were all shrewd people. As soon as they heard it, they knew that there must be something shameful inside. Mrs. Hu said at the right time: "My daughter just likes the butterfly that flew in. Why don't we let her go in and catch it, and then we can leave."

The guard remained unmoved.

When Mrs. Hu saw this, she felt a little embarrassed and her face immediately fell.

Chen Xiang said angrily, "The prince asked me to accompany the ladies and take them to visit the garden, and you dared to block the way."

The guards still blocked the door tightly, not moving an inch.

Chenxiang turned around and pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Ladies and ladies, I am so sorry. This is our Madam Jiang's courtyard. Maybe Madam Jiang is not feeling well. The prince loves her and does not allow anyone to disturb her."

When the ladies heard this, they said, "Since this is Madam Jiang's courtyard, and we are already here, and we heard that she is ill, we should visit her."

What these ladies wanted was naturally to see with their own eyes who this Concubine Jiang was, and to see if they could control this Concubine if their daughters married into the family in the future.

So some bold ladies rushed in regardless of the consequences. The guards had never seen such a scene and did not dare to fight with these ladies for a while. They had to stop them and sent someone to report to King Yan.

When the ladies entered the courtyard, they all felt strange. There were not many servants in the courtyard, which did not look like a favored lady.

With doubts, everyone walked towards Jiang Muyun's bedroom. What they didn't know was that Qi Zeyi didn't send many people to serve Jiang Muyun in order to prevent the fact that Jiang Muyun pretended to be Bai Zhiyuan from being leaked.

Jiang Muyun was taking a nap at this time. Hearing the noise outside, he became a little impatient and asked, "Pei'er, what's going on?"

The next second, Pei'er ran in panic and said, "Auntie, take off the human skin mask quickly. There are many ladies in the yard. If they see it..."

Jiang Muyun panicked when she heard that, but she still held on to her human skin mask tightly. Now she was still dressed as Bai Zhiyuan, but if she took off the human skin mask, wouldn't her disfigured face be seen by everyone?

At this critical moment, a lady pushed the door open and Jiang Muyun's face was seen by everyone.

The ladies who came in looked at each other, and for a moment, the room was unusually quiet.

After a while, someone finally asked, "Are you the Princess of Rong'an County?"

"How is it possible? Why is the county lady here?"

"I've seen Aunt Jiang before, and she didn't look like this."

"Who is she then? Why does she look exactly like Princess Rong'an?"

The crowd immediately started talking.
