"Has the child behaved recently?" Shen Jiaoniang asked with gentle eyes looking at Jiang Mingyue's belly.

Jiang Mingyue saw that she was not willing to talk much about her family affairs and cooperated: "The child has been very well-behaved recently and has not bothered me."

What Jiang Mingyue said was true. After eight months, the child suddenly became more honest.

You only need to interact with him for a while every night. He is quite honest on weekdays, unlike before where he would move from time to time.

Shen Jiaoniang smiled when she heard this.

"This is a good thing. The child feels sorry for your mother!"

Shen Jiaoniang took a sip of tea and said, "You will give birth in more than a month. Has the midwife been found?"

"found it!"

While Jiang Mingyue and Shen Jiaoniang were chatting, they did not forget Chen Ju, and occasionally mentioned Chen Juan.

The three of them had dinner in a restaurant at noon. After the meal, Jiang Mingyue looked at Shen Jiaoniang and asked hesitantly, "If you have anything to say, aunt, it doesn't matter."

"Yesterday, your uncle came back and told me about Xiao Yuan. He said that he offended the second prince in Qionglin Garden and now he has been benched after entering the Hanlin Academy. Do you know about this?"

In fact, Chen Fugui also said that if Xie Yuan was willing, he could pass on a message to the second prince. What he said was that as long as he defected to the second prince, the current predicament would be solved immediately.

Shen Jiaoniang did not intend to tell her niece this, because she could see that Xie Yuan would not take refuge with the second prince. If he wanted to take refuge with him, he would have done so long ago, so how could he wait until now.

Although Jiang Mingyue knew nothing, the expression on her face remained unchanged and she said warmly: "I know, auntie, don't worry, my husband can handle it."

Shen Jiaoniang felt relieved after hearing this.

The three of them walked out of the restaurant. Shen Jiaoniang let go of Jiang Mingyue's hand and warned, "Slow down on the road."

She looked at Apple and ordered: "Take care of your wife."

"Yes!"

In the carriage for a while, Jiang Mingyue lowered the curtain and fell into deep thought. Although Shen Jiaoniang didn't talk too much about her family, she learned a lot of useful information from her sporadic words.

She knew that Chen Fugui had met the eldest prince through Zhang Zhongyue's confidant Sun Liang.

Now that something happened to Zhang Zhongyue, the eldest prince may be having a hard time these days. If it's not going well for him, it will be even harder for the people under him, not to mention Sun Liang, who is Zhang Zhongyue's confidant.

The house in Beiluo Hutong belongs to Sun Liang, but I don't know whether Chen Fugui planned to alienate the eldest prince and completely surrender to the second prince and moved out of Beiluo Hutong, or whether something happened on Sun Liang's side and drove them out.

But no matter what it is, looking at Shen Jiaoniang's appearance, we can tell that she may be having a hard time these days.

Now the fake Jiang Mingyue in Chen Fugui's hands can no longer be regarded as a trump card, and I don't know what Chen Fugui will do with her.

As for Xie Yuan's accusation of offending the second prince and being put on the bench in the Hanlin Academy, Jiang Mingyue was not worried at all. She believed that Xie Yuan would be able to handle these matters well. On the contrary, these hardships will not only fail to defeat him, but will also make him stronger.

In the evening, after Xie Yuan came back, Jiang Mingyue told her husband about his visit to Shen Jiaoniang and the news he got from her.

"Chen Fugui has nothing to worry about now. The more he jumps, the faster he will die."

Xie Yuan looked at his wife: "You don't have to worry about him."

Jiang Mingyue said 'hmm'.

"Ms. sir, how are you doing here at the Hanlin Academy?"

When Xie Yuan heard this, he knew that his wife must have learned about his situation from Shen Jiaoniang. He reached out and held Jiang Mingyue's hand and said warmly: "I'm fine. What I'm encountering now is nothing to me, so Don’t worry about me.”

Jiang Mingyue smiled and nodded.

The next day in Dongshi, Su Niang listened to the purchase mama's words, and her hands under her sleeves slowly clenched into fists.

At the beginning of the morning, behind a big tree, Su Niang looked at the two people who came out. She was breathing rapidly and her body was shaking uncontrollably. It took her a long time to suppress her emotions and turn around. Returned home quickly.

In the backyard, while Jiang Mingyue was walking, she paused slightly after hearing Pingguo's reply. She knew about Tie Xing'an's return to Beijing, and Su Niang should have known about it, but she just didn't know whether she knew about the things Tie Xing'an did.

"Help me look after Su Niang in the next few days."

Jiang Mingyue paused and added: "If she goes out, there is no need to stop her. Just send Zhao Shan to follow her quietly."

Otherwise, she would be really worried.

At dusk, Xie Yuan walked out of the Hanlin Academy, and a young eunuch suddenly blocked his way.

"Thank you, sir, my princess has invited me."

Xie Yuan raised his eyebrows and was about to refuse, but thought that the princess might embarrass his wife afterwards, so he said, "Please lead the way, father-in-law."

After a while, he saw Princess Chaoyang sitting above her in a restaurant. Xie Yuan lowered his eyebrows and bowed his eyes to Song Rui.

"I have met Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

"Thank you for your invitation, Number One Scholar."

Xie Yuan stood up and asked straight to the point: "I wonder why Your Highness the Princess summoned me to come here?"

Song Rui pursed her lips slightly, hesitated for a few moments, and then asked.

"Xie Zhuangyuan, will you marry me?"

Xie Yuan lowered his head slightly: "I already have a good wife in my family."

"You can divorce her. She's just a merchant girl. She's not worthy of you and can't give you anything."

Song Rui looked at Xie Yuan's face that instantly fell, and she tightened the handkerchief in her hand and continued: "I'm different, I'm a princess of a country. As long as you marry me, you will have all the wealth, status, and power at your fingertips. I I believe Xie Zhuangyuan is a smart man and should know how to choose."

Xie Yuan raised his head slightly and said in an extremely cold voice: "If the princess is so outstanding, why bother trying to steal other people's men? What about merchant girls? As long as I like it, it's fine. In my opinion, the princess is better than my wife. It’s just reincarnation.”

Xie Yuan could obviously reject the princess in a more tactful way, but at this moment he adopted a radical method. No one can humiliate his wife in front of him, even if this person is a princess.

"How dare you speak to the princess like this." Fule immediately stood up and scolded Xie Yuan.

Xie Yuan's demeanor instantly changed to an aggressive tone: "It is so courageous for a little palace maid to dare to yell at an official of the imperial court."

Looking into Xie Yuan's cold eyes, Fule felt a slight shiver in his heart, and his aura instantly weakened.

Song Rui saw him pressing Fule down and said, "Xie Yuan, do you really don't want to marry me?"

"The princess deserves better. I and my wife are deeply affectionate and affectionate. They cannot tolerate others."

It's very late and I have to go back to have dinner with my wife, so I won't disturb the princess. "

Song Rui looked at the people leaving, immediately stood up, her eyes were red, and she shouted with tears in her eyes.

"Xie Yuan!"

It's a pity that Xie Yuan didn't seem to hear him. He strode away without stopping or looking back.
