The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 618: Dying Isn’t That Easy
Aunt Su knelt on the ground, "Yes, yes—"
"Just the day before I was given to you, a nanny came to me and said that I would be bestowed upon the Heir of the Duke of England tomorrow."
"She asked me to find ways to disrupt the relationship between you and your wife and win your favor." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
"She also told me not to fear, just to do it boldly, as there would be nobility from the palace backing me."
Jiang Zhongxing squinted, "Nobility?"
"Which nobility?"
Aunt Su shook her head, "I don’t know, but I dared not disobey the nanny."
Jiang Zhongxing thought for a moment and knew this matter couldn’t have been directly ordered by the Emperor himself. The Emperor always proclaimed his benevolence, claiming to rule the nation with compassion. He must have just mentioned his troubles to someone, who then took action on his behalf.
Ultimately, it matters little who this person is; they are just tools in the Emperor’s hands.
Jiang Zhongxing sneered, "Let’s not talk about that matter now. Did the nanny also tell you to cut off my lineage?"
Aunt Su understood well that she couldn’t shirk this matter no matter what. If the intention was truly to cut off the Duke’s lineage, then Jiang Han wouldn’t exist.
After a long while, she trembled and said, "It was my reckless ambition; I acted on my own accord, the nanny never mentioned this."
She looked up at the Duke, "I admit to what I did, some things I had no choice in."
"The cottonseed oil was solely my idea, unrelated to my maternal family."
"And Han Er, Han Er is your son, I only beg you to treat him well in the future."
After speaking, she suddenly got up and rushed towards the pillar to ram into it.
With a quick movement, Da Ya grabbed her arm.
Jiang Zhongxing squinted and sneered, "Trying to die? It’s not that easy. I will slowly account for every grievance you’ve caused." After saying this, he waved his hand.
Da Ya stepped forward and grabbed Aunt Su’s hair, dragging her out of the room.
Aunt Su closed her eyes, filled with utter despair.
Lady Wu then softly spoke, "Do you know why after I moved to the other courtyard years ago, I never returned?"
"At that time, you constantly came with different tricks to coax me, I was actually softened."
"But one day, the Princess suddenly came and told me that the Emperor was unwilling to see a marriage alliance between the Duke Mansion and the Wu Family, unless General Wu would hand over the Wu Family Army, or the Duke ceased to be the head of the Imperial Guards."
"She asked me to think carefully about what to do."
"I knew neither of these options were possible, back then I thought, since we lost our child anyway, let’s just let it be."
"It’s just that I couldn’t bear to leave you, so I didn’t mention divorce and just lived in the other courtyard ambiguously, still harboring a sliver of hope."
Jiang Zhongxing felt a sting in his heart, walked over and firmly held Lady Wu’s hand, "You’ve suffered."
He comfortingly patted Lady Wu and then said, "Guard the house well, I’m going to the Princess Mansion." With that, he walked out swiftly.
Lady Wu understood that Jiang Zhongxing went to the Princess Mansion to seek help from the Princess; he likely intended to uproot the Su Mansion entirely.
No one in the mansion is allowed to leave, probably to prevent news from leaking out.
Yun Jiao saw that everyone had left, realizing there was nothing else for her to do, so she stood up to bid farewell.
Jiang Zhongxing, accompanied by two guards, rode out of the Duke Mansion, swiftly arriving at the Princess Mansion in no time.
The Princess had just finished breakfast and was strolling in the garden. Jiang Zhongxing walked over quickly, and the Princess smiled, "So early in the morning, not at home enjoying tea with your wife, why come to me?"
