After Wang said this, the room suddenly became cold.

Xia Nianyun has been pregnant for three months, but her pregnancy is still not very obvious.

She put her hand on her belly. The summer clothes were thin, so one could clearly see the curve of her belly.

With tears in her eyes, she looked at the Duke cautiously and said, "I wonder if I can say a word."

Jiang Nanhuai didn't dare to look his father in the eye. He looked at Madam Jiang with a pleading look on his face, "Mother, Nianyun is the most timid. Please have mercy on her. She is carrying our son's flesh and blood."

Wang also looked at Madam Jiang, refusing to give in. "Mother, you watched Chengming grow up."

"As parents, the prince and I cannot really help Cheng Ming in his career. It is for this reason that we need to be strict with ourselves and never become a stumbling block on his road ahead due to our own lack of personal morality!"

Xia Nianyun said anxiously, "My Xia family has been favored by the Jiang family for many years. The prince is the father of my unborn child. How could I... my maidservant harm the Duke?"

She looked at Wang and cried, "Madam, I am just a poor person who depends on my husband. I don't know whether the baby in my belly is a boy or a girl, and this child will not have any influence on the eldest young master..."

"My mother and I only pray for a place to stay. Please don't make things difficult for the prince, right?"

She put her posture down to the dust, which further demonstrated her attitude.

Jiang Nanhuai hugged Xia Nianyun, his face full of anger and disgust, "I kept Nianyun and her son in the study because I didn't want you, a vicious woman, to hurt them."

"Who would have thought that you would use my mother as an excuse... She just moved back to Songtao Garden, and you devised a plan to find something from her house that could hurt my father! You might as well go to the government and report me for patricide!"

When Wang heard Jiang Nanhuai's words, a sneer appeared on her face.

How could she report him?

You know, once he is thrown into the imperial prison, her current position as the Crown Prince's wife, and even her dream of becoming the Duke's wife in the future, will all be shattered!

"My husband, you just said you were considering Cheng Ming, but now you are adding fuel to the fire to protect my concubine." Wang said with a faint smile, in stark contrast to the furious Jiang Nanhuai.

"Madam, are you threatening everyone with the young master?" Xia Nianyun asked, covering his chest.

Wang looked at her and raised her eyebrows. This little bitch is very smart.

Not to mention that no one can find any fault with her at the moment, even if there is, it will not affect her status as the Crown Prince's wife.

What's more, for Chengming's future career, he cannot have a mother with poor morals!

Madam Jiang seemed to know what Wang was thinking. She looked at her and said calmly, "Yu Rou, you are still too impatient."

Wang smiled and said, "I don't understand what mother is saying... Aunt Xia is the prince's concubine, so let me take her back and solve the problem."

"Ha!" The Duke sneered, unwilling to waste too much words, "Chengming, come out and meet your father and mother."

"Chengming?"

"Chengming!"

When Jiang Nanhuai and Wang saw their eldest son coming out of the side room, they both showed surprise on their faces.

Jiang Nanhuai finally breathed a sigh of relief, his father no longer cared. He knew that his father was the most tolerant towards him.

When Wang looked at what her eldest son was wearing today, she felt a strange feeling in her heart.

When he got closer and could see clearly, Wang asked him in a trembling voice: "Chengming, why are you wearing your father's formal dress?"

The accessories on the eldest son's dress were a symbol of his status as a prince. She had personally taken care of her husband's dress, so she knew it best.

After Jiang Chengming came in, he first bowed to his grandparents, then walked to his mother, lightly lifted the hem of his robe and knelt on the ground.

"Grandfather and grandmother, please be lenient with me, considering my mother's kindness in raising me."

The Duke sat upright in the armchair, his face stern, and he said in a calm voice, "I brought Cheng Ming into the palace today, and I have already asked the emperor to confer him the title of Crown Prince."

Jiang Nanhuai frowned slightly and stood there in a daze. Wang's face was full of disbelief, as if she had lost her soul.

The Duke looked at his eldest son and continued, "Wang is right. Chengming's career should not be hindered by the two of you."

He couldn't stand being threatened by others, and this time he was completely disappointed with his eldest son. He couldn't let the whole Jiang family be affected by them.

Jiang Chengming saw his grandfather's attitude soften, "Grandfather, what about my grandson's mother?"

The Duke stood up and said, "Since all her schemes are out of her love for her son, you should know that the Wang family and she will be stains on your career, and you should know what to do."

Jiang Chengming had a serious look on his face, as if he had made a great decision, "Grandfather, I am willing to start from the bottom again, I only ask you not to pursue the matter."

The mother's execution of the mistress was nothing in a wealthy family. Taking advantage of the household expenses to secretly take the public assets for oneself was not a capital crime either.

She should never have tried to use Aunt Xia to tamper with her grandfather's foot bath medicine bag and then pass on the dirty water.

He was the eldest son of the first wife. Although he knew his mother's faults, he could not bear to watch his grandfather severely punish her.

"Evil woman, I'm going to divorce you!"

Jiang Nanhuai stood up from the ground, "Father, I've long been tired of people flattering me on the surface! I hate them calling me Young Master in front of others and laughing at me behind their backs!"

"I'm going to divorce Wang Yuran, and then take Nianyun to live on the farm. This way, neither of us will become a stumbling block to Cheng Ming, and what happened to the Wang family has nothing to do with our Jiang family!"

The Duke nodded secretly. Although his eldest son's words were unpleasant to hear, it was a rare moment of rationality on his part.

He no longer expected his eldest son to speak any decent words.

……

On the second day, when Gu Jinchu went to Minghui Hall to pay his respects to Old Madam Jiang, he still brought his two children with him.

When Mrs. Hu saw Gu Jinchu coming over, she showed a trace of worry on her face, "I was so busy this morning that I lost my mind... Madam Tai was not feeling well, so she sent someone to inform them to skip the greetings today. I guess she got into a tangle with Madam Wu."

There are indeed two necessary roads from Minghui Hall to Yuanyuan Hall. Since you are here, you should always show some concern.

"I don't know what's wrong with my mother, but have we asked Mr. Wu to come over?" Gu Jinchu asked softly.

Mother Hu looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, which made Gu Jinchu think of what Mother Cheng said about the quarrel in the first wife last night.

At this time, Xiangyu opened the bamboo curtain and walked out of the inner room, saying with a smile: "The Madam heard the Fifth Madam's voice and asked you to bring the two young masters in."
