Traveling through time as a peasant girl, buying a husband and raising a child

Chapter 224: Madam's Pity

Jiang Yu left Cuixianju with a gloomy face and led his men towards the direction of the imperial palace.

In just a quarter of an hour, the scandalous gossip spread throughout the city of Yudu.

The second floor of Tingfeng Tower in Prince Jin’s Mansion.

"You may not know this, Princess, but I heard that when Prince Ping angrily kicked open the door to Cuixianju's private room, Concubine Qiu was still in Second Young Master Su's arms!"

"Everyone outside exclaimed in surprise. Who could have imagined that this beautiful, dignified and elegant Concubine Qiu, with her big belly, was still having an affair with Young Master Su?"

"Princess, I've heard from everyone that Concubine Qiu's children aren't Prince Ping's. Prince Ping is about to become a father!"

"And it's said that the Second Young Master Su even boasted that his cousin Che would ascend to the throne. He's so audacious..."

In front of Mu Jiaojiao and the others, He Ye, a servant from Prince Jin's mansion, was talking incessantly about the embarrassing stories of Prince Ping and his wife in Cuixianju.

Not only did he speak with saliva flying everywhere, but he also performed with actions, which was quite lifelike.

"Pfft, Heye, this feeling is like what you saw with your own eyes!"

Huaizhu, who was standing by, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and spoke in a coquettish voice.

Mu Jiaojiao was picking herbs in her hands and looking at the boy with interest.

"Oh, Sister Huaizhu, although I didn't see it with my own eyes, I listened carefully."

"Right now, Prince Ping is escorting Concubine Qiu and Second Young Master Su into the palace in a grand manner. I suspect he's going to seek justice from the higher-ups!"

He Ye spoke vividly, and at the end he pointed to the sky and lowered his voice in a sneaky way.

"You said this King Ping is also miserable. He was criticized for his humble background, and now he has made such a joke. How miserable is he~"

At this moment, Huaizhu couldn't stand him gloating over King Ping's misfortune anymore, so he reached out and knocked Heye's round head with a sparse bun lightly.

"Ouch!"

"Sister Huaizhu, why did you hit me on the back of the head?!"

He Ye covered his head with his hands, frowned, grinned at Huaizhu, and complained aggrievedly.

"Princess, look at Sister Huaizhu. She's grown up, but she still bullies Heye!"

After finishing the accusation, he turned to complain to Mu Jiaojiao, and his tone seemed to be full of pain as if he had suffered a great injustice.

"Hehehe...what are you worrying about? Prince Ping is still a prince after all. No matter how miserable he is, he's still living a better life than a half-grown fool like you."

Seeing this, Huaizhu glanced at him and said with disgust.

"Sister Huaizhu is so fierce, be careful you won't be able to get married in the future!"

When He Ye heard Huaizhu call him a fool, he became unhappy and stopped pretending to be hurt. He spoke viciously to Huaizhu, stuck out his tongue and made a face.

"Bad boy, what did you say?"

"Say it again if you can!"

Huaizhu put down the handkerchief in her hand and rushed towards Heye. Today she had to teach this naughty boy a lesson.

Otherwise he would be in big trouble!

"Just say it, just say it, a little bit..."

Seeing this, He Ye ran out while cursing.

"Pfft..."

Seeing this, the calm Yunyu, who was helping Mu Jiaojiao sort the herbs, couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth.

"These two are such a funny couple!"

Mu Jiaojiao also smiled and shook her head and said to Yunyu.

"It's because of the princess's kindness that these two scoundrels are allowed to run wild."

"What are you laughing at? I saw that brat He Ye making a fuss outside before I even entered the door!"

As soon as Yunyu finished speaking, she heard Jiang Jin's voice. A moment later, she saw a young man in purple clothes, who was handsome and elegant, walking in, pushing Jiang Jin's wheelchair.

"Greetings, Your Majesty, and greetings to Master Mo!"

Upon seeing this, Yunyu put down the herbs in her hand, bowed gracefully, and saluted the two people who came in with their own unique qualities.

"Why is Xiao Qi so polite all of a sudden?"

"Li Xingchuan has met my sister-in-law."

The man in purple looked at Yunyu who was bowing and asked teasingly, then bowed to Mu Jiaojiao who was not far away.

"Madam, this is Jiang Mo, whom I told you about before."

Jiang Jin looked at his wife's curious eyes and explained gently.

Of course, the bigger purpose is to get his wife's attention back. How can other men be as good-looking as him?

"I've heard of Mr. Li's great name for a long time. Seeing him today, I can see he's truly handsome."

When Mu Jiaojiao heard her husband say this, she understood who the person in front of her was.

Upon hearing this, Mu Jiaojiao withdrew her gaze from him. It turned out that this was Jiang Mo, the owner of Tianxia Diyi Lou, who had been helping Jiang Jin to gather information. His surname was Li and his courtesy name was Xingchuan.

"Hahaha, my sister-in-law really has good taste. Just like Jinge said, she is a wonderful person!"

Li Jiangmo laughed out loud upon hearing this and praised Mu Jiaojiao sincerely.

"Mr. Li, you are so kind."

*

After the three of them exchanged greetings for a while, they left Mu Jiaojiao's pharmacy, Tingfeng Tower, and prepared to have dinner at Lingyunxuan.

Li Jiangmo is also a very busy man. After meeting Mu Jiaojiao and satisfying his curiosity, he was driven away by Jiang Jin in disgust before he even reached Lingyunxuan.

Mu Jiaojiao washed her hands in a basin held by a maid. Since she had previously sorted out the herbs, she washed them carefully. Then she waved her hand to let everyone go and no longer needed to serve her.

Then he walked to the table and sat down, turning sideways to ask Jiang Jin, who was already sitting upright with her two children.

"Did you send someone to do the Prince Ping incident?"

"Well, my lady is indeed smart."

Hearing this, Jiang Jin raised the corners of his mouth and praised his wife. Looking at his wife, he smiled gently, with a smug look in his eyes, seeking praise.

"But I just sent someone to tip him off. In the end, it's still Seventh Brother who's unlucky."

Mu Jiaojiao looked at her husband, who was so excited that his tail was about to stand up, and when she heard his casual words, she couldn't help but say something.

"Jiang Fox!"

He didn't even think about it. If he hadn't known the whereabouts and leverage of the Second Young Master Su, how could such a scandal have broken out immediately after Mu Jiaojiao had stopped the rumor?

"Daddy, chicken drumstick~"

Jiang Mingxiao, who was standing by, saw his wife finally sitting at the dinner table. He sucked his saliva and pointed at the chicken leg with his chubby little hand.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jin picked up his chopsticks and picked up a chicken leg for his chubby second son, then picked up one for his eldest son Jiang Mingzhao before looking at his wife and speaking proudly.

"Thank you for your compliment, my wife!"

Mu Jiaojiao glanced at this dishonest man when she heard that.

"I heard from He Ye that Prince Ping took people into the palace?"

"Well, he has suffered so much injustice, he must go to the palace to win the sympathy of our good father."

Jiang Jin smiled sarcastically when he thought of this. His father didn't have this thing!

Seeing this, Mu Jiaojiao reached out and squeezed his hand, gently comforting her husband who was heartbroken by his own father, and then picked up a chicken leg for him.

Seeing this, Jiang Jin stared at the chicken leg in the bowl. The coldness in his body dissipated, and he put away his previous sarcastic smile, and his whole person became exceptionally gentle.

He has a wife now, and she will sympathize with him and give him a chicken drumstick...
