After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

Jiang Ci'an came to the outside of the mansion. The servant drove the carriage to the side door, and he carefully helped Chen Li'niang out of the carriage.

Chen Li'niang got off the carriage happily, but when she saw the small door in front of her, her breath stopped.

"General Jiang, why don't we go through the main door instead of this side door?"

Jiang Ci'an looked embarrassed, scratched his head and was about to speak, when Aunt Xu beside him said coldly:

"Our Zhenguogong Mansion is a noble mansion. The main gate only receives distinguished guests. Not everyone can enter through the main gate. Please forgive me, young lady."

The implication is: You are worthy of going through the main entrance?!

Chen Li'niang gritted her teeth secretly. No wonder the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was said to be extremely prestigious. Even a servant dared to speak to her like that.

Forget it, when she becomes the general's wife, she will definitely give this old woman a good lesson.

Following Jiang Ci'an into the house and seeing the spacious and luxurious scene before her, Chen Li'niang's dissatisfaction disappeared in an instant.

In the huge courtyard, there are rows of pavilions with carved beams and painted rafters, and rockery and trees are lined up one after another. The servants coming and going in the courtyard, each doing their job in an orderly manner.

It is worthy of being the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion. Even the ordinary cleaning servants are dressed better than her.

Chen Li'niang thought to herself that she would have a share in all of this!

As soon as she stepped into the room, a burst of fragrance hit her face. Chen Li Niang looked at the luxurious furnishings in the room almost greedily.

Her expression also caught the attention of the Jiang family.

"Dad, Mom, this is Sister Li." Jiang Ci'an said loudly.

Hearing this, Chen Li'niang quickly withdrew her gaze, lowered her head and bowed submissively.

"I, Chen Li Niang, greet the Duke of Zhenguo and his wife."

The deliberately controlled voice sounds extremely smooth.

Although Mrs. Jiang was not happy, she still asked someone to give her a seat.

Jiang Ruoli looked at the woman in front of her. She was wearing a coarse cloth dress that was worn and white from washing, and her hair was tied up with only a wooden hairpin.

[Is Second Brother so stingy? After all, she is the girl you like, but you don’t even know how to buy her some clothes and jewelry. ]

Jiang Ci'an was stunned when he heard this, and his face was filled with shame. He really had not thought it through.

The two elders of the Jiang family also looked at Chen Li'niang and shook their heads. It was indeed a bit shabby.

[This Chen Li Niang looks ordinary, but I didn't expect that she could charm my second brother so much. My second brother thought that they were truly in love, but in fact, she was just attracted by your family property and status.]

[After all, which woman would be willing to marry a man like you who doesn't know how to be gentle with women? ]

[But I still admire you for raising someone else's child. It's not uncommon to see men with a cheating head, but it's rare to see someone like you who has been cheating all your life! ]

Jiang Ruoli was stunned inwardly, not noticing Jiang Ci'an's face gradually turning pale.

Is my little sister possessed by evil spirits? Why does she start talking nonsense after not seeing her for half a year?

Duke Jiang's brows were furrowed tightly. If what his daughter said was true, then this woman must not be allowed to stay. Wouldn't this be taking advantage of the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion?

We must get to the bottom of this matter right now. We can't let the second brother accept it without knowing the reason.

Duke Jiang coughed lightly and looked at Madam Jiang.

Madam Jiang understood and asked:

"Miss Chen, my son was too careless and didn't explain it to us clearly. Could you please tell us in detail what happened that day?"

"Mom!" Jiang Ci'an was a little angry.

This matter is already embarrassing for the girl, why do you have to open her scars again?

"Shut up!" Duke Jiang shouted angrily.

Chen Li'niang trembled with fear.

Mrs. Jiang saw this and comforted her:

"Don't be afraid. As long as you tell us the truth, our Zhenguogong Mansion will not be irresponsible."

Chen Li Niang calmed down after hearing this and said slowly:

"That day, there was a great victory at the border, and the military camp held a celebration banquet to celebrate. My brother was also in the army during the battle, and I heard from him that he would follow the main force to Beijing later."

"Thinking that we may not see each other again, I brought some clothes and food to visit you."

"But who knew that I accidentally entered the young general's tent. The young general was drunk and when he saw me..."

At this point, tears welled up in Chen Li'niang's eyes and she choked up and couldn't continue.

Jiang Ci'an looked worried, clenched and unclenched his hands, reached out and patted Chen Li'niang's shoulder, and comforted her:

"Don't worry, I will be responsible for you."

Jiang Ruoli looked at the two people in front of her and couldn't help rolling her eyes.

[The general's tent is obviously bigger than the ordinary soldier's tent. How could an ordinary person go wrong? ]

[How come my second brother can't see this flawed excuse? Does love really make people blind?]

Jiang Ci'an was startled by the hand that was patting lightly.

Indeed, his tent was distinctly different from the others.

Could it be that Sister Li was really lying to him?

no, I can not.

He has seen how good Sister Li has been to him during this period.

Although he was wrong first, Sister Li took care of him regardless of the past, so she must have feelings for him.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ci'an said:

"Dad, Mom, since Sister Li is pregnant with my child, I must marry her."

The two elders of the Jiang family felt a headache when they saw their son's stubbornness.

[Sister Li is here. She is older than you, silly brother.]

[In the original book, she cried, made a scene, and even hanged herself to stay in the Duke's Mansion. Although she was just a concubine at first, she had her own ways. She relied on her son to become the principal wife step by step, and even killed the second brother's wife who was married in a formal ceremony.]

[My heroic sister-in-law! Humph! I get angry when I think of this! ]

Hearing this, the Jiang family's eyes were filled with shock.

Is this woman so resourceful?

[Oh yes, I remember that Chen Li Niang's brother Chen Jinde was also a tough guy. He was actually from Bei Xin. With the help of his sister, he climbed from an ordinary military supervisor to the position of deputy general. He became the confidant of his second brother and secretly sent a lot of intelligence to Bei Xin.]

[Then in a great battle with the Northern Xin Kingdom, Chen Jinde colluded with the enemy and led my second brother into an enemy ambush, where he died under a hail of arrows! ]

[Chen Li Niang also placed evidence of treason in her second brother's study and pinned the blame on the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.]

[The emperor was furious, and finally the entire Zhenguogong Mansion was executed! ]

[Hey! I'm so angry! How come these two siblings are worse than each other! ]

Hearing this, Duke Jiang stood up in shock.

Mrs. Jiang was stunned and tears welled up in her eyes.

Their Zhenguo Mansion, which was devoted to the country, and their second brother, who was brave and good at fighting, ended up like this!

Although I don’t know where my daughter knew these things, I would rather believe it than not!

Jiang Ci'an couldn't hide the shock on his face. Sister Li, could she actually harm the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion?

Jiang Ruoli looked at Duke Jiang who stood up and asked in confusion:

"Dad, what's wrong with you?"

Meeting Jiang Ruoli's questioning gaze, Duke Jiang finally regained some clarity from his shock.

Calm down, nothing has happened yet and there is still room for change.

With a light cough, Jiang Guoan soothed:

"Daddy is fine, he just sat for a long time, get up and move around."

"Oh......"

[As expected, when people get old, they can’t do anything. They get tired even just sitting. ]

Duke Jiang's breath suddenly became stuck in his chest, and his expression became even uglier.

Chen Li'niang looked at Duke Jiang's expression and thought that he was not happy to have her as his legal wife.

But it doesn’t matter. As long as she can enter the Duke’s Mansion, she can be a concubine first. One day she will climb to the position of the wife.

Thinking of this, Chen Li Niang secretly pinched her thigh hard, and tears immediately welled up in her eyes again. She said sadly:

"It's okay, little general. As long as I can stay by your side, I am willing to be your maid. It's just that I feel sorry for my child..."

After saying that, he placed a hand on his belly.

Jiang Ruoli's gaze fell on Chen Liniang's belly.

As Chen Liniang caressed her, the originally loose clothes were pressed against her belly, and it was obvious that her lower abdomen was slightly bulging.

【Wait!】

[Is my belly already this big after less than a month of pregnancy? I have never given birth, so don’t lie to me! ]

Hearing Jiang Ruoli's voice, the Jiang family also looked at Chen Li'niang's belly.

That’s right, it’s impossible to have such a big belly when you’re just a month pregnant.

Realizing that something was wrong, Duke Jiang and Jiang Ci'an quickly retracted their gaze.

Mrs. Jiang spoke meaningfully:

"Miss Chen, you look thin, with slender limbs, but a plump belly."

Chen Li Niang was startled, a flash of embarrassment flashed across her face, and she felt guilty: "Maybe I ate too much after I got pregnant."

[Wow, my mother has a sharp eye, she can tell the problem with my stomach right away! ]

Hearing Jiang Ruoli's praise, Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but straighten her chest and sit more upright.

[But mom, she is not just fat, she is actually three months pregnant! ]

[And in order to deceive her second brother, she bribed a military doctor to help her make a false certificate! ]

Jiang Ci'an: What?!
