Jiang Wanqing didn't expect that Jiang Lingyi would support her so unconditionally.

Originally, she didn't want to take that kind of risk.

However, as Xiaoxiao fell ill, all the things that she would have encountered at the beginning changed because of her intervention, and the future will also change.

Jiang Wanqing has no idea about the future, she just wants to find a way to survive for her family.

On the way here, she was thinking about things.

The princes in the court are all unreliable.

So are we really going to choose Eunuch Fang Su?

But Eunuch Fang Su is a cruel and ruthless person.

If he were to sit in that position someday, would he allow others to sleep on his bed?

Since no one can be relied upon, why can't I fight for that possibility?

However, you still have to choose one person to cooperate with.

Compared to His Royal Highness Prince Cheng'an and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

It seems that Eunuch Fang Su is the most suitable one.

Jiang Wanqing looked at Jiang Lingyi deeply and said, "Brother, in this life, I will make sure our family is safe and sound."

Jiang Lingyi asked, "But I want to know how you are going to do this?"

Jiang Wanqing pondered for a moment, then said, "In the court, it has always been easier for the children of the nobility to pass the imperial examinations and to stick together. It is more difficult for commoners to pass the imperial examinations. In the court, you just need to get closer to those court officials. Yi Changning is my chess piece.

As for the second brother, he still has to return to the border town as soon as possible. He has to make more Jiang family soldiers obey him.

Big Brother and Second Brother just need to do these things, and I will take care of the rest."

If Feng Xingzhi goes well, I think it won't take a few years for him to control the economic lifeline of the huge Zhongzhou Kingdom.

Fortunately, she knew in her heart that the current emperor could live for many years and the battle among the princes had taken more than ten years.

She still has time to do what she needs to do.

Jiang Lingyi nodded after hearing this: "Okay, I will do as you say, but we just need to remain neutral, right?"

Jiang Wanqing replied, "Yes. If there are any changes in the plan, I will tell my brother in advance."

Jiang Lingyi responded, and then walked towards the Duke of Zhenguo's room with Jiang Wanqing.

On the way, Jiang Lingyi said in a cheerful tone: "I forgot to tell you a good news."

Jiang Wanqing asked: "What good news?"

Jiang Lingyi smiled and said, "Your sister-in-law is pregnant."

Jiang Wanqing froze in his tracks and looked at Jiang Lingyi in disbelief: "Really?"

Seeing Jiang Lingyi nod vigorously, Jiang Wanqing was also delighted.

"It's a good thing that my sister-in-law is pregnant. Xiaoxiao will have a playmate in the future."

In the previous life, my eldest brother and his wife didn’t know why they couldn’t get pregnant until they died.

"Yes, we just found out the pulse, and we haven't told anyone yet. We plan to keep this news secret for a while."

"It's better to be cautious. This child is hard to come by."

Before they knew it, they had arrived at the door of the room.

Jiang Lingyi knocked on the door.

"Father, my little sister and I came to see you."

"come in."

The voice of the Duke of Zhenguo was heard from within the room, and it sounded quite powerful.

Jiang Lingyi pushed open the door and entered the room with Jiang Wanqing.

The Duke of Zhenguo was lying on the bed with a book in his hand.

Jiang Wanqing bowed to the Duke of Zhenguo.

He joked, "Father's hands have always been used to hold a sword. When did he ever read a book? When mother asked you to read a book, you would never do so even if you were beaten to death."

Upon hearing this, the Duke of Zhenguo threw the book aside, his face full of sorrow: "I have nothing to do at home, and there is no fun in not reading books."

Jiang Wanqing glanced at the Duke of Zhenguo.

Seeing that the Duke of Zhenguo's face had become a little rosy, he felt relieved.

He said, "Father looks much better now. I think his wound has healed a lot, right? Now that my sister-in-law has a child, you should stay at home and take good care of your grandson. You can enjoy your leisure time in the future."

When the Duke of Zhenguo heard this, he showed a complicated expression.

Quite puzzled: "Child? What child?"

Jiang Wanqing glanced at Jiang Lingyi, then at the Duke of Zhenguo: "You actually hid this news from father? Father doesn't know?"

Jiang Lingyi said helplessly: "I haven't had time to tell my father about this news yet. I'm afraid he will be too happy and it will hurt his wound."

The Duke of Zhenguo vaguely guessed something.

He asked, "What child?"

Jiang Lingyi and Jiang Wanqing looked at each other.

Then he told the Duke of Zhenguo the news: "Madam is already one month pregnant. Father, you are going to be a grandfather."

When the Duke of Zhenguo heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

However, the tears in his eyes could not be stopped: "Okay, okay. All of you are not as good as the seventh brother. The little kids are already so big, and you, as the eldest brother, have just barely had a child."

Jiang Wanqing tried to comfort him, "Dad, it's a good thing that your sister-in-law has a child. For the sake of the child, please stop talking about your brother.

By the way, Dad, we want to keep the news of my sister-in-law’s pregnancy a secret for a few days before telling anyone about it. This will be good for the child and my sister-in-law. If anyone comes to visit you, please remember not to let anyone know about this.”

The Duke of Zhenguo waved his hand quickly and said, "For the sake of the child, I will not scold your elder brother today! Don't worry, I will remember everything that is good for the child. Besides, apart from those imperial doctors, who else comes to me every now and then? I remember them all."

Jiang Wanqing nodded.

The Duke of Zhenguo suddenly remembered something.

Then he asked, "I also know something about your trip to Gusu City with the second brother. When you go back to your cousin's place, if you have time, you must go to Gusu City more often to accompany her.

I originally wanted to ask your eldest sister-in-law to accompany you, but now she is pregnant... it is not appropriate. Your brothers are also unreliable. You can grab the third brother and go with you. You..."

"Okay," Jiang Wanqing interrupted the Duke of Zhenguo, "Father, you are still a patient, so you should take good care of your injuries and talk less. As for cousin Chu Xuan, I will naturally pay more attention to her."

Upon hearing this, the Duke of Zhenguo sighed helplessly, "After all, the Chu family is your maternal family. Now Chu Xuan is the only child left, so you must take good care of her."

Jiang Wanqing replied obediently: "Yes, father."

The father and daughter chattered for a while.

Jiang Wanqing glanced at the sky.

Then he said, "Father, it's getting late. I have to go back to the Marquis of Xingchang's mansion."

Jiang Wanqing made a gesture, preparing to get up and leave.

The Duke of Zhenguo suddenly grabbed Jiang Wanqing's sleeve.

Jiang Wanqing looked puzzled.

The Duke of Zhenguo said with a trace of guilt in his eyes, "Qing'er, are you having a hard time in the Xingchang Marquis's Mansion? If not, I will use my life's merits to exchange for your divorce from Zhou Zigu!"
