The wealthy tycoon wants to be the white moonlight of the little village girl

Jiang Yaonian's expression changed instantly.

He frowned slightly and asked, "Who told you?"

Qing He said softly: "It seems to be true"

Jiang Yaonian did not deny or explain, but simply said, "Don't let your imagination run wild."

Qing He stared at him blankly, mustering up the courage to ask softly, "Are you going to marry that princess?"

Jiang Yaonian glanced at her and answered very straightforwardly, "No."

Qinghe didn't believe it and looked at him with confusion.

Jiang Yaonian stood up and said, "I still have some things to deal with. You can rest first. You don't have to wait for me."

After saying that, he pushed the door and left, leaving Qinghe sitting there alone in a daze.

A trace of disappointment flashed across Qinghe's eyes. She stared blankly at the candlelight, feeling a lump in her throat and an empty mind.

After sitting there for a while, she took a deep breath and murmured to herself, "It seems to be true..."

As the night deepened, Xiaer led a few maids in to make the bed. After everything was done, she walked over to Qinghe and softly advised, "Madam, it's getting late. You should rest."

Qing He looked at Xia Er blankly and asked softly, "What time is it?"

"Madam, it's already midnight."

"Oh."

Qinghe stood up mechanically, went to the inner room, changed into pajamas, and lay down on the bed.

Xia'er lowered the bed curtains, prepared the sleep-aiding incense, and then quietly left.

……

Late at night, Jiang Yaonian sat alone in his study opening and reading letters.

As soon as the door opened, the guard came in quietly and replied respectfully: "Mr. Jiang, someone from Prince Jing's Mansion came and said they want you to come over and take a look. They said that since you left, the princess has been depressed and has not eaten all day. Her mood is very unstable. No one can persuade her. Madam Du is almost going crazy!"

Jiang Yaonian raised his head and said, "Go tell the people in the palace that I can't leave because of something."

"Yes!"

The guard went out.

Jiang Yaonian lowered his head and continued reading the letter.

At midnight, he finally dealt with all the things, stood up and walked outside the study, taking a deep breath of fresh air. The night was as dark as water and the moonlight was bright. He walked towards the villa, and four bodyguards dressed in tight clothes followed behind him like a shadow.

The guard came forward and knocked on the door.

When the night watchwoman opened the door and saw that it was Jiang Yaonian coming, she was about to call the maid, but was stopped by Jiang Yaonian. He walked silently along the corridor to the outside of the room, gently opened the door and went in.

The room was silent, the candlelight was dim, the bed curtains were hanging low, and the lotus-shaped crane-patterned incense burner was emitting a light and pleasant aroma...

Jiang Yaonian came to the bed, opened the bed curtain, sat down gently, and stared at Qinghe who was sleeping in a trance...

He did go to Prince Jing's Mansion last night.

In the middle of the night, he heard the sound of a cloud board, and he stood up and walked outside. A guard dressed in night clothes came over, saluted respectfully, stood up and whispered: "Sir, someone from Prince Jing's Mansion said there is an urgent matter and asked you to come over. It was Chief Steward Luan who brought people here to deliver the message."

Chief Steward Luan’s name is Luan Xi, and he is the chief steward who serves Prince Jing personally.

When Jiang Yaonian heard this, he couldn't help but frown.

What is he doing here at this time?

He turned around and closed the door gently, then asked as he walked away, "Where is he now?"

The guard replied, "We are waiting at Songlin Pavilion."

Jiang Yaonian arrived at Songlin Pavilion. As soon as he entered, he saw the usually smart and capable Luan Xi pacing back and forth anxiously. When he saw him come in, he immediately rushed over in surprise, bowed respectfully, and said excitedly: "Please forgive me, sir! I am sorry to disturb your rest. I am here on the order of the prince to invite you to come to my house."

Jiang Yaonian asked doubtfully, "Is your prince not resting yet?"

After hearing this, Luan Xi sighed and said worriedly, "Princess Jingying is in trouble! Her life or death is uncertain at the moment, so the prince specially sent me to ask you to come over. Otherwise, even if I have the courage of a million, I would not dare to disturb you so late at night. I hope you will forgive me!"

After Luan Xi finished speaking, he knelt down again with a plop, kowtowed and said, "Sir, I beg you to come for the sake of our past friendship! Not only is the wife of the prince grateful for your friendship, but I am also very grateful for your great kindness!"

Jiang Yaonian said to the guards, "Prepare the car."

After hearing this, Luan Xi was very excited and couldn't help but kowtow to thank him again and again!

After the carriage arrived at Prince Jing's Mansion, Luan Xi got off the carriage first, then came to the front of the magnificent carriage at the back and stood respectfully with his hands lowered.

The guards stepped forward and lifted the curtain, and Jiang Yaonian got out of the car.

Luan Xi led the way, and after passing through several doors, the group arrived at Ninglu Garden behind the garden.

The lights in Ninglu Garden were bright tonight, and the sound of a woman sobbing could be heard faintly from inside. Luan Xi reported from outside: "Mr. Jiang has arrived!"

The maid at the door opened the curtain, and Jiang Yaonian stepped in. He saw at a glance a kicked-over embroidered cushion and a white silk cloth on the ground. Mrs. Du and the maids and wet nurse were crying around the bed. Jingying was lying on the bed in a bright red wedding dress with her eyes tightly closed.

When Prince Jing saw him, he rushed over and grabbed him as if he had seen a savior, and said anxiously: "Oh, my dear nephew, you are finally here! What should I do? The princess and I went to attend your wedding during the day, and Jingying locked herself in the room and cried all day without eating or drinking.

Later, the maid heard no movement inside for a long time, so she came in to check, and found that the child had become so depressed that he committed suicide!

What should I do, wuwuwu... She just likes you too much, and she doesn't want to live anymore after seeing you marry someone else. You must save her. Among my children, Jingying is the most considerate and sensible one!"

Mrs. Du also came over and bowed deeply, then looked at Jiang Yaonian pitifully and said, "Master Jiang, I only have Jingying as my daughter. If anything happens to her, I don't want to live anymore... I know Jingying is just a concubine and is not worthy of marrying you as your principal wife, but can you take her in for the sake of the prince, even as a concubine?"

The wet nurses and maids also came over and knelt in a row, crying and begging for mercy.

Jiang Yaonian asked the imperial physician beside him, "How is the princess?"

The imperial physician replied respectfully: "Thanks to the timely rescue, the princess is temporarily fine. She just suffered some external injuries. She just needs to take medicine to recuperate. But..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that the princess is originally in a delicate body, and she was injured by holding her breath. If she can't take good care of herself, I'm afraid her body will be damaged!"

At this moment, Jingying on the bed groaned and slowly opened her eyes. Prince Jing and Madam Du quickly surrounded her and asked anxiously, "Ying'er, how are you?"

Princess Jingying moaned weakly, "Father, I don't want to live anymore..."

"Oh, child, you can't think like that! You are father's most beloved daughter. If anything happens to you, father will be heartbroken!"

"Yes, Ying'er, you must not be depressed. If you are going to die, I don't want to live anymore..."

Jingying closed her eyes, shed two lines of tears, and choked up and said: "Mr. Jiang is getting married, and the bride is not me, so what hope do I have in this world? I might as well die... Who made me just the daughter of a concubine, not qualified to marry my sweetheart!"

After these words came out, Mrs. Du sobbed and said, "Ying'er, are you blaming mother? It's all mother's fault. Because I liked the prince, I insisted on following him without caring about my status. It would have been fine if I had suffered, but I also caused you to be looked down upon..."

When Prince Jing heard this, his heart was broken. He stepped forward and hugged Du, choking with sobs, saying, "My dear, it's all my fault. I can't give you a proper status. You can only stay in the palace as a concubine, and you and your daughter have been wronged!"

Madam Du raised her tearful eyes and looked at Prince Jing and said, "I don't blame you, Prince. It's all my bad luck. Jingying has also suffered with me... But I don't blame anyone. It's all fate! It's us, mother and daughter, who don't have the blessing to be the legal wife of the person we love..."

These words immediately hit Prince Jing's heart!

The guilt and self-blame that had been weighing on his heart for a long time were all awakened in an instant!

He immediately said excitedly: "Ajun, don't worry! Although I have failed you, I will never let our precious daughter suffer any injustice again!"

After that, he came to Jiang Yaonian and said, "Anian, Jingying likes you so much, can you marry her? I don't ask you to divorce your wife, as long as you can make Jingying your co-wife!"
