Hearing Jiang Ruoli's excited voice, Mrs. Jiang found it a little funny.

"Doctor Lin, what's your diagnosis?"

"Madam, I just checked Miss Chen's pulse and it shows that she is pregnant."

Mrs. Jiang nodded, "What's the month?"

"Looking at the pulse, the pregnancy is more than three months."

Mrs. Jiang's face turned cold when she heard this.

Humph, just as Li'er said, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is really being taken advantage of!

"Madame Xu!"

Madam Jiang said coldly, "Send someone to keep an eye on Tinghe Courtyard, don't let anyone make any mistakes, and wait for the Second Young Master to come back before making any decisions!"

Let the second brother come back and take a good look at what he brought back!

"I understand, old servant." Madam Xu responded.

Jiang Ruoli looked at Madam Jiang's unhappy expression and comforted her:

"Don't be angry, mother. Fortunately, you asked the palace doctor to check your pulse in advance, which prevented our family from suffering greater losses."

【But my second brother is very sad! 】

[Hehe, I want to laugh when I think of my second brother's distraught face.]

After hearing Jiang Ruoli's words, Mrs. Jiang's depression was mostly relieved.

It is indeed time to teach this second brother a lesson. Staying in the military camp every day will make him stupid.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Jiang looked at Jiang Ruoli.

She realized that it was time for Li'er to go out for a walk.

"Li'er, Princess Ningyang is hosting a chrysanthemum viewing banquet in a few days. She has sent an invitation to the mansion. Do you want to go with mother?"

Princess Ningyang?

Jiang Ruoli inexplicably felt that the name was familiar.

"Mother, is Princess Ningyang the younger sister of the current emperor?" Jiang Ruoli asked.

"Yes, child, you don't remember this incident?" Mrs. Jiang asked with a smile.

【That’s right! 】

[Speaking of which, Princess Ningyang is quite pitiful. She has no children in her life. Her husband appears to be in love with her, but in fact, he has been having an affair with his cousin for a long time and has even had two children with her! ]

[Princess Ningyang has always been on good terms with the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion. Later, when the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion got into trouble, the princess even spoke up for the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion in front of His Majesty.]

[Unfortunately, she was too worried for years because she had no offspring. At that time, she was already at the end of her strength and died of illness not long after...]

what? !

Mrs. Jiang frowned deeply.

Princess Ningyang indeed had no children, and this was something everyone in Kyoto knew.

The prince consort did not feel dissatisfied with the princess because of this incident. Instead, he doted on her and even made a vow never to take a concubine. He never concealed his love for the princess in front of others, and their love was once regarded as a good story.

If we say that in the whole of Kyoto, there are probably few men who can compare to the devotion of the prince consort.

But Li'er's words didn't come out of thin air...

[I remember that during this chrysanthemum viewing banquet, the prince consort also brought his son to the banquet, so that he could show off.]

Thinking of this, Jiang Ruoli came to Madam Jiang, took her arm affectionately, and said, "Mother, I will go with you."

"Okay." Madam Jiang patted Jiang Ruoli's hand lovingly and said with a smile.

When he turned his head, there was frost in his eyes.

If things are really as Li'er said, then we have to think of a way and never let the princess be bullied.

When Duke Jiang returned home from court, Madam Jiang told him the results of the court physician's diagnosis in the morning and told him about Princess Ningyang.

"I didn't expect the prince consort would be such a thing!" Duke Jiang said angrily.

"Master, don't be angry. If it's really as Li'er said, I have to find a way to tell the princess."

Princess Ningyang has a gentle personality, and Mrs. Jiang likes to get along with her on weekdays.

"I think Li'er has become more lively these past two days. Madam, please take her with you."

Madam Jiang smiled and said, "I've already made an agreement with Li'er. I'll take her there when the time comes. We can also know some things in advance."

Duke Jiang nodded.

"As for Chen Li'niang..." Duke Jiang frowned.

"I have a plan. I'll discuss it with the second son when he comes back," said Mrs. Jiang.

Duke Jiang nodded, "I don't know how the situation in the military camp is being handled..."

When Jiang Ci'an came back in the afternoon, Jiang Ruoli was watching Duke Jiang and Madam Jiang playing chess in the front hall.

Well, actually she couldn’t understand it at all. The black and white chess pieces on the board made her dizzy and sleepy.

Seeing Jiang Ci'an coming in, Jiang Ruoli's eyes lit up as if she had seen a savior:

"Second brother! You're back!"

Jiang Ci'an was a little uncomfortable with his usually taciturn sister suddenly becoming so enthusiastic.

He stepped forward and patted Jiang Ruoli's little head, and said:

"Dad, Mom, I went to the military camp early this morning and called my subordinates to ask. There is indeed a military supervisor named Chen Jinde. He has been in the army for two years. He is straightforward and has good popularity in the army."

[Wow, isn't second brother quite smart? He was able to find such a hidden figure like Chen Jinde.]

After hearing this, Jiang Ci'an scratched his head embarrassedly. It was all thanks to his younger sister who reminded him.

"However, the other two military supervisors who were on good terms with Chen Jinde said that about a month ago, Chen Jinde suddenly became silent and taciturn, and he was very cold to everyone. He also always went in and out alone, which was very abnormal."

"My son took advantage of their morning drill to order people to search Chen Jinde's residence. Sure enough, he found letters with the Northern Xin Kingdom under his bed, and even our defense formation map!"

"My son immediately ordered the arrest of Chen Jinde, but he actually tried to escape. During the struggle, his face hit the ground and a whole piece of skin fell off. Another soldier thought something was wrong and stepped forward to pull his face skin off. Unexpectedly, he pulled off his entire face skin in one go."

"Under the skin, there is actually another face!"

"From my son's perspective, he is indeed from Beixin. I'm afraid the original Chen Jinde has been killed."

Upon hearing this, Duke Jiang's face turned cold.

The people of Beixin were so bold that they even reached into the military camp.

"I will report this matter to His Majesty when I go to court tomorrow. You must keep this spy under good care," Duke Jiang arranged.

"I understand, son." Jiang Ci'an agreed.

[Great! This means that a major hidden danger has been eliminated around my second brother.]

The Jiang family was very relieved. Thanks to Jiang Ruoli, they were able to discover the enemy as early as possible and avoid bigger problems.

"Mom, where is Chen Li's mother..." Jiang Ci'an asked.

"Mother was just about to tell you this," Madam Jiang said, "Mother has arranged for the court doctor to check her pulse today, and the diagnosis is that Chen Li Niang is already three months pregnant."

"what?!"

Jiang Ci'an couldn't believe it, his face suddenly turned pale and his body swayed slightly.

[Second brother, hold on, second brother! Don’t break so easily! ]

Hearing Jiang Ruoli's voice, Jiang Ci'an came back to his senses.

"Then what should I do..."

Mrs. Jiang looked at her son, who looked devastated, and shook her head helplessly.

"I plan to arrange for someone to send her back, but the journey is long and she is pregnant, so I need to send two reliable people from your camp to escort her."

Jiang Ci'an was still digesting his emotions. When he heard Mrs. Jiang's arrangement, he realized that it was the most appropriate arrangement, so he nodded in agreement.

It was almost time for dinner when Jiang Ci Yan returned home.

[Big brother, it’s really hard work. Does being an official also need to work from nine to five? ]

[Fortunately I don’t have to go to work, hehe. ]

Hearing Jiang Ruoli's sigh, a smile flashed across Jiang Ci Yan's gentle face, and he reached out and stroked her head affectionately.

Jiang Ruoli muttered softly: "Why do you guys like to pat my head? My hair is messed up..."

Jiang Ci Yan couldn't hide the love in his eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: My little sister is finally a little more lively.

Seeing that Jiang Ruoli no longer rejected her brothers' closeness as before, Mrs. Jiang was very pleased and was about to arrange for someone to prepare dinner.

"Madam! It's not good!"

Aunt Xu came hurriedly and said anxiously, "Miss Chen just hit her stomach on the table by accident and fainted due to bleeding!"
