“I knew it all along.” Lin Zizi sighed slowly, “You really think I’m a fool, don’t you? Ningning is the flesh and blood of my body that I carried for ten months. The moment I laid eyes on her, I recognized her.”
Jiang Ruobai choked up, “Why… didn’t you say something earlier?”
“You were thinking about me, I understand.” Lin Zizi glanced at the dining table outside the room, her eyes filled with tenderness.
There, Jiang Ning was sitting at the table, having soup.
Lin Zizi smiled, “Old Master, I understand your concerns. That’s why I don’t blame you for sending Ningning to the selection. I just feel bad for her. She just got back, and she didn’t have much time to stay by my side.”
“I’m reluctant too. I’ve checked, probably two or three months ago, the emperor accidentally met Ningning. I think he knew her identity then but kept it a secret. He just went to her restaurant every day, even gave her many valuable antiques. I’m just worried… the emperor might transfer his affection for you to Ningning.”
Lin Zizi chuckled, “After all these years, you’re still holding a grudge.”
“No, I’m not. The one who holds a grudge is the emperor.”
“If the emperor really had such intentions, why would he wait until now and watch you send Ningning to Prince of Yu’s selection? The Prince of Yu is so smart.”
“Sigh, I knew that as soon as the Prince of Yu saw Ningning’s appearance, he would definitely choose her.”
“You’ve calculated all this, but what about after she marries into the prince’s mansion?”
“After marriage, can’t I, Jiang Ruobai, still look after her?” Jiang Ruobai snorted, “Just a young Prince of Yu, I don’t think much of him. If he doesn’t behave, there are more princes in the Great Sheng Dynasty.”
It was rare that Lin Zizi was in good spirits today, so Jiang Ruobai couldn’t bear to leave. As the couple chatted, a sharp cry suddenly rang out from outside.
“Father ”
Lin Zizi said indifferently, “In our household, the only person who would dare to cry out like that is Fifth Daughter.”
Jiang Ruobai smiled as he stood up and went outside, just in time to see Jiang Yuan with messy hair and a bruised face, crying as she ran over and threw herself into his arms.
Behind her followed Aunt Hua, Aunt Liu, and Jiang Yan.
Jiang Ning sat at the table with her soup and glanced at their direction.
Jiang Ruobai held Jiang Yuan and frowned, “What happened to you?”
“Father, I was beaten up by Princess Ling’an’s people while trying to help Seventh Sister… Seventh Sister not only was ungrateful, but she also pushed me off the carriage… My foot hurts so much, it might be broken…” She sobbed in Jiang Ruobai’s arms and accused Jiang Ning.
“I’ve heard about this. It’s okay. I’m very happy that you sisters are so united,” Jiang Ruobai helped her sit down and ordered the stewardess to call the doctor.
Jiang Ning continued to drink her soup nonchalantly, “Didn’t Sixth Sister get hurt too?”
Jiang Yan was startled.
“Really, Xiao Liu, where did you get hurt?” Jiang Ruobai looked at her.
If it were in the past, Jiang Yan would definitely lower her head and say, “Your daughter is fine, Father. You don’t have to worry.”
She wanted to be a well-behaved daughter who didn’t cause any trouble or worry for her father.
But today, perhaps thinking of what Jiang Ning had said, Jiang Yan inexplicably nodded, “My arm hurts a bit, it might have been scratched by someone.”
Jiang Yuan glanced at her in surprise.
Jiang Ruobai beckoned, “Is that so? Let me take a look.”
Gathering her courage, Jiang Yan walked over and rolled up her sleeve. There were indeed several long bloody marks, caused by sharp nails..
