Explicit? Shi Shuang paused. At this point, he had made it very clear, but the two people seemed to have no idea what was going on.

Is it because I pretended too well?

Even if Jin Jiang is upright, he must be an old fox.

She smiled, stepped forward to support the two people in front of her, and observed them closely, "Mr. Jin, Mrs. Jin, you two should sit down. I'm afraid you will faint from fright."

However, although…

Yan Niang hesitated for a few seconds, but decided to speak out of turn: "I am not Madam Jin, I am just a concubine in the mansion."

Jin Jiang glared at her. Why are you saying this?!

Hearing this, Shi Shuang's lips curled up, she sighed, and pretended to shake her head: "Hey, Master Jin, please take a look at what this is."

A stack of letters was thrown into his arms.

Jin Jiang caught it in a hurry, but when he met the princess's eyes, he felt unsure. He opened it and looked at it together with his concubine who came over.

See half of it.

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Princess! I dare not! Your business does not conflict with Jin's liquor. Even if it does, I dare not hire someone to kill someone."

pat.

Sweat dripped down his forehead to the ground.

One drop, two drops, three drops...come together.

Yan Niang also lowered her head. She hurriedly explained, "Princess, I know the master. He would never do such a thing. To be honest, the business of the Jin Mansion is enough to support three generations of grandparents and grandchildren. There is no need to take any more risks. Besides, the master is in poor health and is planning to quit the business circle."

These words touched Jin Jiang's heart.

He looked at Yan Niang, his eyes full of disbelief. He really didn't want to venture out into the world anymore, and just wanted to enjoy his retirement and stay with his wife.

"Princess, please check clearly."

After a moment, Shi Shuang placed one arm on the table. She smiled lightly, but there was coldness in her eyes. "A few words cannot convince me. Maybe it was done by you, Jin Jiang, or maybe it was your enemy, or maybe he wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife. Within three days, you can use any means to investigate, but if you can't find out the truth, watch out for your life."

"Yes." Jin Jiang kowtowed and looked at the two people walking in front of him. After a while, he fell to the ground.

He was wiping the sweat from his head without any image.

Yan Niang felt weak, and leaned on the master's shoulder, saying, "It is because the princess is kind-hearted, but it is too early to draw conclusions. This letter alone is enough to destroy the entire Jin family."

Her heart ached when she thought of her son still studying away from home.

If the soldiers suddenly caught him, they would kill him. Wouldn't his son be very lonely? He couldn't even return home in death.

Jin Jiang shook his head, "No, it won't happen. One letter is not enough to convict someone. Moreover, this is most likely a conspiracy against the family servant."

He placed the letter on the desk tremblingly, his body stiff with fear, and sat down.

Hearing this, Yan Niang walked to the front, picked up the letter, her eyes fell on the words, and her thoughts went back to half a year ago. She looked at the master seriously and solemnly.

"So, what if this is Madam's handwriting? What would you do?"

"Nonsense!" Jin Jiang scolded, "Madam is a little spoiled, but she is timid and would never do such a thing. Don't mention this matter again!"

Yan Niang was not convinced, so she chased after him and blocked his way with her hand.

"The handwriting on the letter has indeed changed, but the original has not changed. You might as well compare it carefully. Maybe you will believe what I said. I know that you dote on the new wife, but you can't joke with the entire Jin family. After all, you still have three sons and two daughters!

How can you live up to the instructions of your late wife by doing this?"

Jin Jiang remembered what his late wife told him before she died, that he must be a down-to-earth person, protect the Jin family, and be good to his children.

"I understand. Please don't tell anyone about this."

After giving the instructions, he headed straight to the main courtyard.

In the room, Mrs. Jin heard the noise and quickly lay down on the bed with the help of her maid, with the scalding hot water bottle under her feet.

I was so hot that I was sweating all over and my face turned red.

Jin Jiang frowned, his eyes fell on her red face, and asked hurriedly.

"Madam, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay." Mrs. Jin forced a pale and weak smile. Her toes were burned and she made an uncomfortable muffled sound, "Hmm~"

Now, Jin Jiang was certain that his beloved was not feeling well.

He put his hand on the woman's forehead, then suddenly pulled it back. He slowed down and asked distressedly, "Alan, are you sick? Why is your body so hot?"

"Ahem, it's okay..." As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Jin fainted.

The court doctor came hurriedly.

His face lit up with joy, then slowly sank. He announced the good news first and the bad news later: "Madam has been pregnant for two months. However, she has been worried and prone to illness. I can only boil some herbs for her that will not harm her body or the baby."

Jin Jiang smiled and sent the court doctor away, tucked in the quilt for his wife, and signaled the maid to follow him out.

When he walked into the outer room, his face darkened and he asked, "Madam was ill, and you didn't even know? How did you take care of her?"

The maid knelt down and said, "Master, please forgive me. It is my wife who does not want to be extravagant."

Jin Jiang frowned, slapped his thigh in confusion, and asked, "Didn't I give her money? What is she worried about? What worries is there that I don't know about?"

Sometimes, I just can’t figure it out.

Why are Alan's reasons for getting angry so strange? For example, he would get angry and refuse to eat if a fish has bones in it. He would also feel irritated and unwilling to go out if it is too hot outside. He would get angry for no reason.

"Master, please forgive me. I dare not say anything."

"Speak! I command you to speak, otherwise I will sell you out!"

Hearing this, the maid hurriedly said, "A few days ago, Madam saw a few pitiful children on the street. After she came back, she was sad and blamed herself, saying that she had no ability to help them and wanted to go to the temple to pray to the Buddha. Madam would rather be a vegetarian for the rest of her life."

Jin Jiang lowered his head and remained silent for a long time.

Guilt appeared in his eyes. "Alan is really kind. Okay, you take good care of the lady. I have something else to do. I will come to see her in the evening."

After a day of investigation, all the accusations pointed to Alan.

At night, Mrs. Jin woke up and was frightened when she saw the man sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at her.

He asked weakly, holding his chest.

"Sir, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Nothing, I just want to ask you, do you know the princess?" Jin Jiang held her hand, and just after he asked, he felt the woman tremble inadvertently.

Soon, it was covered up well.

"How could I possibly know the princess?" Mrs. Jin clenched her fist, placed it next to her chin, and coughed hard. Then, she gently touched her abdomen, "Master, am I pregnant?"

Jin Jiang came back to his senses, nodded, and said expectantly: "Yes, I didn't expect that I would have a child at the age of fifty. Madam, I am having a child in my old age."

"Master, I'm afraid I can't take good care of the child." Mrs. Jin smiled and said, "Can Liu'er stay with me for a few days?"

Jin Jiang thought about it and realized that Jin Liu was Yan Niang’s youngest son.

He looked at his wife's pleading expression and thought of the child in her belly. "That's good. You can get used to being a mother in advance."
