On the way back, Jiang Ning leaned against the carriage dozing off when suddenly the curtain was lifted, and Li Hongyuan entered.
She glanced at him and ignored him.
Li Hongyuan sat across from her, looking at her yawning, and coldly said, âTell me, whose child is it?â
Jiang Ning stopped yawning in astonishment: âWhat did you say?â
âWhose child is it?â
âIsnât it yours?â
âHeh.â Li Hongyuan lowered his head and chuckled, âAre you really that foolish, or do you think I am as foolish as you? Do you really think I would believe your lies?â
He moved slightly closer to her, gazing into her eyes, âThat night, we did not share a bed. You know this better than I do.â
Jiang Ning coughed lightly, âWhat about the wedding handkerchiefâ¦â
Li Hongyuan pinched her fingers tightly, âWhere did the scar on this finger come from?â
âI cut it while slicing fruit.â
âNot a single word of truth from your mouth.â Li Hongyuan sat straight, âIâm sorry, I had someone check it, the blood on the handkerchief wasnât from you losing your virginity. It wasâ¦â
âShut up!â Jiang Ning yelled in embarrassment and anger.
Li Hongyuan stopped, then sneered coldly, âYou did such a thing, but you donât dare to hear people talk about it.â
âWhat are you talking about? Get out!â
âThis is my carriage. If anyone should leave, itâs you.â Li Hongyuanâs voice was cold and cruel, âDonât try to use your cunning to manipulate others. Judging by your behavior during this time, you must have been pregnant for more than a month.â
Jiang Ning remained silent.
Li Hongyuan said, âIt seems that you were already carrying a bastard child before marrying into the Wang family.â
âIndeed, itâs a bastard.â Jiang Ning replied calmly, âSince Your Highness is so clever, Iâm sure you can find out who the childâs real father is.â
âI donât care about such trivial matters. As for this bastard, just abort it.â
âIf you dare to do that, I guarantee youâll regret it.â
âStill playing mysterious at this point.â
âWhy donât Your Highness use your clever mind to think about where I was living before I returned to the Jiang family, and who I came into contact with every day.â
Upon hearing this, Li Hongyuanâs expression changed slightly as if he thought of something.
Xiaoqian told him that Emperor Father had been eating at Jiang Ningâs restaurant for over two months.
Given Emperor Fatherâs infatuation with Lin Zizi back then, would he have been tempted when he saw this girl who looked so much like Lin Zizi?
Could it be that this child⦠was Emperor Fatherâs?
Li Hongyuan was shocked by this guess, his face pale.
He had married his own fatherâs woman; what was going on?
Li Hongyuan felt like flipping the carriage in a rage.
He wanted to throw this woman out of the carriage and make her abort the child immediately.
Despite the turmoil in his heart, his face remained calm. After a long silence, he asked, âDoes Emperor Father know about this?â
âHe probably does.â
âGood, very good.â Li Hongyuan was so angry that he laughed.
What on earth did that old man want to do?
Was he afraid of the Queen Mother and his concubine mother, so he didnât dare to bring a new woman to the palace?
That was just too cowardly!
Even if he was cowardly, he shouldnât have let him marry her.
Wasnât this a mess of seniority?
He began to doubt if he was really the Emperorâs son.
What kind of father would do this to their own son?
Li Hongyuan felt like he was going to explode from anger.
Take a deep breath.
Another deep breath.
He suppressed his anger and coldly said, âWhen we get back, abort the child immediately.â
Jiang Ning looked at him in surprise.
He didnât want his own child?
Didnât the royal family place great importance on heirs?
