Jiang Ruobai asked, “Does it hurt?”
Jiang Yan had never received such care from her father before, and her voice choked up with emotion, “It hurts a lot, father.”
“Sit down, don’t cry, don’t cry.” Jiang Ruobai hurriedly pulled a chair for her to sit and urged the stewardess, “Why haven’t you called the doctor yet!”
Soon, the doctor came and saw Jiang Ruobai supporting Jiang Yan, and naturally went over to check on her.
Jiang Yuan was left to the side.
Jiang Yuan stared at the scene in disbelief.
The doctor treated Jiang Yan’s wound and wrote a prescription.
Jiang Ruobai instructed Aunt Liu to take her back to rest and asked the kitchen to send some nourishing soup for her.
As she walked out the door, Jiang Yan looked back and made eye contact with Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning gave her a slight smile.
Jiang Yan felt a little embarrassed.
Actually, her injury was nothing, but the care and love from her father was a new and exciting experience for her. It made her feel warm and happy.
As she left the Black Bamboo Garden, Jiang Yan felt dazed, and her face held a constant smile.
Aunt Liu glanced at her a few times, somewhat worried, “My girl, what’s gotten into you today? Are you so distraught because you weren’t chosen? You should let it go, our kind of…”
“Aunt Liu, I know. It’s impossible for me to be chosen.”
“Then why are you smiling so foolishly?”
“It’s nothing. I’m just happy.”
“You’re actually happy about not being chosen?”
“Even happier than if I were chosen.”
Jiang Yan walked with a lighter step and a cheerful smile.
In her heart, she thought that maybe following Seventh Sister would not be so bad.
Aunt Liu shook her head, thinking that her daughter had truly gone silly.
Back in the Black Bamboo Garden, Jiang Yuan was furious.
Today, she was first stunned by being chosen by Jiang Ning and then kicked off the carriage by her. When she returned home, she thought her father would feel sorry for her and scold Jiang Ning.
Who would have imagined that instead of scolding Jiang Ning, her father had focused on caring for Jiang Yan!
This infuriated Jiang Yuan.
Prince of Yu’s choice of the Jiang Family’s crippled eldest daughter shocked many nobles.
For several days, many people visited the Jiang Family under various pretexts, openly or covertly trying to find out what this crippled eldest daughter looked like.
Jiang Yuan watched with intense jealousy.
Everyone only paid attention to Jiang Seventh Daughter now.
Her own brilliance had dimmed…
However, Jiang Ning herself was terribly troubled.
On one hand, there was the Emperor’s Imperial Edict, demanding that she and Prince Yu complete their marriage within a month.
On the other hand, there was her growing belly that couldn’t be resolved.
It had been more than two months now, and although her reactions hadn’t become particularly severe, her belly would become more and more difficult to hide.
By the time she married into Prince Yu’s Mansion one month later, her belly would no longer be concealable.
By then…
Everyone with eyes would realize that Prince Yu had been cuckolded, and at that time, the heartless and cold-faced Prince Yu would undoubtedly kill her without hesitation.
Now, the most urgent task at hand was either to cancel the marriage or to get rid of the child in her belly.
Cancelling the marriage… the possibility was slim to none.
Abortion… she couldn’t find a doctor willing to give her the medication.
No one even believed she was pregnant.
Jiang Ruobai didn’t believe her either.
What about…running away?
It was better than being at the mercy of Prince Yu and her growing belly.
But sitting in a wheelchair, escaping was inconvenient, and even if she ran, she wouldn’t be able to escape the grasp of the Jiang Family.
Jiang Ning had been so troubled for several days that she couldn’t sleep well or eat, and she had lost a considerable amount of weight. She spent every day thinking about how to find an opportunity to slip away..
