Chapter 205 I Won't Hook Him Up Anymore
"Aren't you leaving yet?"
Jiang Yuyue's words immediately darkened Song Jinglan's face. Today, every word Jiang Yuyue spoke was about official business, and she hadn't asked a single question related to him. Song Jinglan couldn't help but sneer.
"What? Now that your Jiang family is about to avenge your great grudge, you treat me like this because I'm no longer of any use to you?"
"So what kind of attitude do you want?"
Jiang Yuyue gave a self-deprecating laugh as well, "If His Highness Prince Jing is looking for a beautiful woman, then he has come to the wrong place. His Highness Prince Jing is second only to the emperor; he can have any woman he wants with just a word. Why bother with me here?"
After meeting Prime Minister Li and his daughter today, Jiang Yuyue finally remembered that Song Jinglan was still engaged. She had heard rumors that Prime Minister Li's daughter was infatuated with Prince Jing and was almost becoming an old maid. Now, seeing her and remembering the joyful expression on her face when she went to see Song Jinglan, she knew that the rumors were true.
Although Jiang Yuyue and Song Jinglan had feelings for each other before, that was when she didn't know Song Jinglan's true identity. Now that she knows his identity, understands that she and Song Jinglan are not a good match, and that he is also engaged, Jiang Yuyue would definitely not continue to have any entanglements with him.
If I continue to get involved with Song Jinglan, wouldn't that be letting him follow in Xie Yunqi's footsteps?
Although she had already seen through Xie Yunqi's true colors in this life, and therefore felt nothing about him finding someone else, she would never forget the feeling of being betrayed in her previous life.
It is said that one should not do to others what one would not have them do to you. Now that Song Jinglan and Li Xiang's daughter are such a perfect match, and she is unwilling to debase herself to become a concubine, Jiang Yuyue will definitely not seduce him anymore.
Seeing that Jiang Yuyue was becoming increasingly indifferent to him, a stark contrast to her previous attitude, Song Jinglan's expression hardened, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips. "So, according to you, you've been using me from beginning to end?"
"Your Highness is too kind to me. I am not worthy of your favor. I would not dare to take advantage of Prince Jing."
Jiang Yuyue chuckled, her words laced with a hint of sarcasm, "Your Highness should leave soon. That's just how I am; I don't know how to say nice things. What if I accidentally upset Your Highness?"
Jixiang held his breath, not daring to make a sound. He was increasingly confused by the situation. If it was because the prince had concealed something from her a few days ago, that would be understandable. But now it seemed that was not the case.
Could it be that this Miss Jiang is really trying to take advantage of His Highness?
After repeatedly being rebuffed by Jiang Yuyue, even with his good temper, Song Jinglan couldn't remain calm in the face of such cold words. Seeing that Jiang Yuyue was unwilling to talk to him properly, he saw no need to stay any longer.
"Don't go out these days. I'll send someone to let you know when that day comes."
After saying this, Song Jinglan turned and left, and the two parted on bad terms once again.
During this time, many people were unhappy. Xie Yunqi was almost frantic. He sent people back to Jinling to search for Jiang Yuyue's whereabouts. He also checked all the major inns and houses that had been rented or sold in the capital. But after several days, he found nothing.
Xie Yunqi, who was in the study, was on the verge of collapse. His current backing was the Ning Prince and his sister. If the Ning Prince was brought down by the Jing Prince, then leaving only Song Jinwan would be quite fatal!
After all… Xie Yunqi’s face darkened. If the guess that Jiang Yuyue was also reborn was true, then his manhood would have been destroyed by her. Jiang Yuyue would definitely know that the child born to Song Jinwan was not Xie Yunqi’s!
Xie Yunqi felt extremely nervous whenever he thought about this. On the day of their wedding, in order to avoid the bridal chamber, he put a large amount of sleeping potion in the nuptial wine to make Song Jinwan unconscious. However, it was not enough to just avoid it for one day. Therefore, Xie Yunqi had the idea of getting Song Jinwan pregnant to avoid having sex.
Xie Yunqi did just that. On their wedding night, he had his servant take his place and then killed the man to silence him. Fortunately, Song Jinwan became pregnant, which is why he hasn't been exposed for the past six months.
But if Jiang Yuyue doesn't die, Xie Yunqi knows very well that, given her hatred for him, she will eventually expose this matter. If Song Jinwan finds out that she has been humiliated like this, she would be happy to tear him to pieces!
The thought of his fate made Xie Yunqi's legs tremble. In the past few days, he had been busy investigating Jiang Yuyue's matter, and naturally neglected Song Jinwan, who was extremely dissatisfied with this.
"Your Highness, the princess has asked me to invite you over."
The maid was sent by Song Jinwan to deliver another message. Although Xie Yunqi had no intention of dealing with her now, he had no choice but to go through this process.
Are you out of your mind or just stupid?
As soon as Xie Yunqi walked in, he heard Song Jinwan's cursing, "You've been hiding in your study these past two days, refusing to show your face. Could it be that you're hiding a vixen in there?"
"Unjustly accused."
Xie Yunqi forced a smile, "It's just that my brother returned to the capital a few days ago and arranged a lot of things for me to handle, so I couldn't find the time to come and see you."
This reason was somewhat convincing, and Song Jinwan didn't say anything more. Xie Yunqi, however, remained worried, constantly thinking about Jiang Yuyue's whereabouts.
He searched almost every suspicious place, but still couldn't find the person. Could it be...?
Xie Yunqi suddenly had a flash of inspiration: Could it be that Jiang Yuyue was hiding inside the Jing Prince's mansion?!
Upon realizing this, Xie Yunqi slapped his forehead. How could he not have thought of this?!
If Jiang Yuyue really gets together with Song Jinglan, then she will definitely stay at Prince Jing's mansion when she comes to the capital!
Even if Xie Yunqi guessed that the person was in Prince Jing’s mansion, he still found it quite troublesome. It would be extremely difficult to snatch the person from Song Jinglan’s hands. But if he could get Song Jinglan away and then sneak into his mansion to finish off Jiang Yuyue, wouldn’t that be much simpler?
But what excuse could be used to get Song Jinglan away?
Xie Yunqi quickly began to think about the problem, and when his gaze fell on the baby in Song Jinwan's arms, he immediately had an idea.
"Isn't our Hong'er going to be a month old in a few days? How about we hold a full-month celebration for him tomorrow?"
Xie Yunqi's suggestion was immediately met with a glare from Song Jinwan. "Since you know he won't be a full moon for several days, why hold the full moon banquet tomorrow?"
"Isn't His Majesty unwell?"
Xie Yunqi quickly came up with a reason, "Couldn't we hold a celebration in advance to bring good luck to Father Emperor? If Father Emperor knew about our filial piety, he would surely be happy."
