The reborn son cursed his mother, bah, she heard it all

Yan Zhuoke was too familiar with the look of a little woman showing her teeth when she was angry.

But he didn't feel disgusted at all, and felt inexplicably comfortable. He smiled and tucked a strand of Jiang Ying's hair behind her ear, "Mother has been anxious about my second brother's marriage for a long time. The Mu family has been a family of scholars for generations, and their knowledge and education are excellent. It is normal for mother to value Miss Mu."

These words undoubtedly exposed Tong's secret plan.

Tong Shi couldn't help but feel angry, and she squeezed Mu Wanbai harder. The latter hurriedly pulled her hand away timidly, "Thank you, Princess, for your kindness, but Wanbai is feeling a little uncomfortable. Can we go to the pavilion in front to rest for a while?"

The Mu family and the Jiang family have an engagement, and Mu Wanbai is not yet so unscrupulous as to flirt with Tong in public.

But in fact, the two families have visited each other privately several times recently.

As for Jiang Yuanchen, well...what else could she do except sigh.

She was the eldest daughter of the family. Her father and grandfather would never agree to her marrying a fool. And... and, Mu Wanbai had to admit that she had met Jiang Yuanchen by chance last year. The elegant and talented man of the past was no longer there, and was replaced by an idiot who couldn't even control his saliva. How could she accept this?

After that meeting, she went home and had a nightmare about being married to a fool in the bridal chamber. She dreamed of being drooling Jiang Yuanchen...

Thinking of this, Mu Wanbai's hands trembled even more and his whole body became cold.

Tong was just about to find the stairs to go down. She glared at Jiang Ying and enthusiastically instructed Zhao Mama, "She was fine just now. We can't be careless. Zhao Mama, help Miss Mu go to the pavilion to rest for a while."

When she raised her eyes and saw Su Yilan over there, Tong's smile deepened.

Just follow along.

Just as she was about to turn around, she saw Yan Zhuo still there. Not only that, his eyes were fixed on Jiang's face as if he were looking at some treasure, and in his arms he was holding Lin'er, who was baring his teeth and claws at her. The warm scene of the family of three seemed to make the garden full of flowers pale in comparison.

Tong suppressed her anger and said softly, "Zhuo'er, this is the backyard, there are so many young ladies here, what should we do if we bump into them? Besides, there are many guests in the front yard who need you to entertain, you'd better go there quickly, otherwise your father will be unhappy again."

In front of outsiders, she is the stepmother wearing a mask of kindness.

Yan Zhuo had seen a lot of this, so he wasn't interested. He just focused on holding the little thing moving around in his arms.

He coaxed her in a low voice, "Why, Zhier, don't you want to be with your father? What should we do? Your mother seems to be busier than your father."

There were inquiring and curious glances from all directions, and with Tong trying to smooth things over, Yan Zhuo felt that Jiang Ying couldn't handle it.

Especially someone like Meng Niaoniao, even before anyone uses her as a gun, she can inexplicably transform herself into a cannonball.

After hearing Yan Zhuo's words, whispers were heard all around again.

"Prince Yan treats his concubine so well that he even lets his child call her mother. How can a concubine be called mother?"

"Who said it wasn't? He even held the child himself. My father never held me!"

"Maybe she's not just a mistress?"

The sudden insertion of fresh gossip instantly excited all the girls.

He caught the person who was talking and asked, "What? Did you hear something?"

"If not a concubine, what else could she be?! Look at her arrogance. Only a real country girl would think that a child could trap a prince. Her idea is as mean and unpresentable as that of a servant."

These words floated into Jiang Ying's ears without missing a word, and she was really speechless.

The palace is so big, with pavilions and towers and clusters of flowers in the garden. In order to win over these people, Tong also prepared flower tea, snacks, go, guqin, tossing pots, embroidery and other food and entertainment. Instead of playing, they gathered together to say bad things about her?

The young lady who was being questioned had kept everyone in suspense for a long time, and then she raised her chin and said, "So you all didn't know? Her, haha, isn't her last name Jiang? A few days ago, someone saw her and the old lady from the Duke Jiang's Mansion having dinner at Fanlou, and she even told Shopkeeper An that from now on, her bills should be charged to the Duke Jiang's Mansion."

"Tell me, when did Madam Jiang, who is so serious, show such love to a girl from another family? And now it's Prince Yan... I think it's okay to listen to the words of a village girl, but how dare she do it without any support."

"Huh? What do you mean..."

"Yes, yes, Miss Xiao, you are right. I have heard that too. It seems that... she is the illegitimate daughter of Duke Jiang. Is that right?"

"Ah! An illegitimate daughter? Then... Didn't Jiang Yilin, the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family, just get engaged to Prince Yan? It was even a marriage granted by the Emperor. How could such a thing happen? Did the Jiang family acquiesce with impure motives, or is she shameless? Ahem!"

Xiao Yuer had a very secretive expression and waved her hands, "You ask me, who should I ask? Maybe the people from the border have this custom. I have heard that the barbarians at the border give a few extra daughters when they marry off their daughters, to keep them as a favor for their daughters. But this Jiang Yilin hasn't even married yet, but she sent her concubine's daughter to her son-in-law's bed and she got pregnant and gave birth to a child. This is the first time I've heard of it. It's really fresh."

All of a sudden, more gazes of various colors fell on Jiang Ying.

Of course, Tong and Mu Wanbai, who was supported by Madam Zhao, also heard it. The former was secretly happy, while the latter had a pair of confused eyes like a deer, "Why, Aunt Jiang, are you really Jiang Yuanchen's concubine sister?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a dangerous aura looming over his head.

Mu Wanbai looked up in surprise, just in time to meet Yan Zhuo's cold and intimidating gaze.

She raised her thin lips slightly, "Who told you to call her aunt? If you can't talk with your mouth, just shut up!"

Mu Wanbai, "..."

Oh, oh, oh, Prince Yan is so fierce!

Since she is a concubine, why not call her Aunt Jiang?

Xiao Yanzhi, [Hehehe, Bai Lianhua hit the iron plate! The scumbag dad is a double standard. He thinks that being a concubine is fine, but if others want to belittle my mother, look, he starts to get anxious! He is really like a big wolf dog protecting his calf! ]

Hearing the voice, Jiang Ying carefully looked at Yan Zhuo's angry face.

Oh, you know what, they really do look a bit alike!

At this moment, the housekeeper bowed and ran forward to report to Tong, "Princess, people from Duke Jiang's mansion are here."
