Chapter 24

Seeing this scene, Jiang Ruyun felt as if she was about to collapse. She instinctively wanted to follow, but someone pulled her back. “How long will you keep humiliating yourself?”

Jiang Ruyun turned around and saw Jiang Peihuan, her eyes filled with coldness.

“Let’s go!”

Pulling Jiang Ruyun, Jiang Peihuan left the Huainan King Mansion with a cold expression.

Upon reaching the entrance, they saw the Jiang family’s carriage. The curtain was lifted, revealing Liu Xiu’s worried face.

“Huan Er?”

“Third Aunt, why are you here?”

“I was worried about you and Sijin, so I came with some people. What happened to Ruyun?”

Liu Xiu noticed the blood on Jiang Ruyun’s skirt right away. She looked at Jiang Peihuan with concern, but she just nodded. “Third Aunt, let’s go back first.”

“Alright, let’s go back.”

Ye Xiao and Jiang Sijin helped Jiang Ruyun into the carriage.

Jiang Peihuan turned to the man beside her. “Your Highness, thank you for helping me today. I will definitely repay your kindness.”

“I know that the Old Madam will be waiting for you at the Jiang mansion, so I won’t delay you any further. If you need any help, have Ye Xiao come and find me.”

“Thank you, Your Highness.”

After saying this, Jiang Peihuan got into the carriage.

Liu Xiu bowed to Xiao Nanye and asked the coachman to drive away.

“Master, the young lady has already left. Shouldn’t we return to our mansion?”

Seeing the Jiang family’s carriage disappearing at the intersection, Han Feng couldn’t help but call out to his master.

Xiao Nanye gave him a cold glance, turned around, and mounted his horse Zhui Yun.

At the Jiang family.

Jiang Ruyun was sent directly to the Chrysanthemum Hall, where Doctor Zhang was already waiting.

After giving Jiang Ruyun a thorough check-up, he looked at Old Madam Jiang with guilt in his eyes. “Old Madam, please forgive my incompetence. Second Miss’s pregnancy cannot be saved.”

“It’s not your fault. Yuzhen, please escort Doctor Zhang out.”

Nanny Xu hurried forward.

After Doctor Zhang left, the old madam looked at Jiang Peihuan. “Huan Er, tell me everything in detail.”

“Yes, Grandmother.”

Standing in front of the old madam, Jiang Peihuan briefly recounted everything, including what the Huainan Queen and Zhao Fuqing had said.

“The Huainan King’s Mansion has gone too far!”

After listening to Jiang Peihuan’s words, Old Madam Jiang slammed her hand on the table beside her, causing the teacups to spill all over.

Seeing the old madam’s furious expression, Jiang Peihuan quickly stepped forward and held her hand. “Grandmother, you mustn’t get angry.”

“We have to seek an explanation from the Huainan Mansion, but Father and Second Uncle are not here at the moment. We’ll have to wait for their return.”

“Old Madam, someone from the Huainan Mansion has arrived.”

As Jiang Peihuan finished speaking, Nanny Xu hurriedly entered the room.

Upon hearing Nanny Xu’s words, Old Madam Jiang immediately asked, “Who is it?”

“The Huainan Mansion must be here to apologize. Is the prince here? I must speak with him.”

Zhou Rongfang, who had been taking care of Jiang Ruyun in the room, ran out angrily upon hearing this.

Before Nanny Xu could respond, Zhou Rongfang interjected.

Jiang Peihuan noticed Nanny Xu’s troubled expression and asked, “Nanny Xu, who is it?”

“The butler of the Huainan Mansion,” she replied hesitantly. “He…”

“Sending just a butler? Is that really an apology?”

Before Nanny Xu could finish, Second Mistress interrupted her. Jiang Peihuan couldn’t help but say, “Second Aunt, let’s wait for Nnny Xu to finish speaking.”

Nanny Xu gratefully glanced at Jiang Peihuan before continuing, “The butler of the Huainan King’s Mansion is not here to apologize, but to dissolve the engagement.”

“What did you say?”

“How could it be dissolved? The prince and Yun Er are clearly in love. They…”

“Shut up!”

Old Madam Jiang sternly rebuked the Second Mistress, her expression growing even angrier.

Turning to Nanny Xu, Old Madam Jiang said coldly, “Go ahead and bring the person in.”

“Yes, Old Madam.”

Shortly after, the butler of the Huainan Mansion followed Nanny Xu into the room. As soon as he entered the hall, he knelt on the ground and said, “Greetings, Old Madam.”

“I am here on behalf of the queen to deliver a divorce paper.”

“What right do you have to send my family a divorce paper?”

The old madam didn’t want to deal with the butler, but since no one else from the Huainan King’s Mansion had come, she could only suppress her anger and speak.

Upon hearing her words, the butler lowered his head even more. “Old Madam, the Prince was only willing to marry the second miss because of the child she was carrying. However, she has already miscarried.”

“To be honest, the second young lady’s status is not worthy of being the Huainan King’s princess consort. Now that the child is gone, it’s best for both families to annul the engagement and go their separate ways…”

“Get out!”

Suddenly, a cold voice rang out in the hall. Jiang Peihuan looked at the butler of Huainan Prince’s Mansion with a cold gaze.

Upon seeing Jiang Peihuan’s expression, the butler was shocked. However, recalling the queen instructions, he continued, “Anyway, I have already delivered the divorce paper. From now on, the Jiang family and… Ah…”

A cold, sharp sound emitted from Jiang Peihuan’s hand. She stepped forward and stood sideways, the black whip in her hand gleaming menacingly. “Say one more word, and the whip in my hand won’t show mercy.”

“Let’s go, let’s go quickly…”

Witnessing the whip in Jiang Peihuan’s hand, the butler of Huainan mansion was reminded of the scene in the mansion. He quickly stood up and dashed out.

As the butler opened the door, Third Madam Liu Xiu’s voice came from behind, “Sister Yun…”

It turned out that Jiang Ruyun had already awakened. As she approached the hall’s entrance, she heard the butler’s words and saw the divorce paper on the floor. Unable to contain herself, she fainted.

“Yun Er?”

Seeing this, Second Madam Zhou Rongfang hurriedly ran forward to support Jiang Ruyun.

Jiang Peihuan walked over and picked up the divorce paper from the ground. Then, she whispered instructions, “Nanny Xu, please help Grandmother rest first.”

“Yes, Young Miss.”

“Third Aunt, could you please have someone fetch Doctor Zhang again?”

“Of course, I’ll send someone right away.”

“Second Aunt, please have someone take Second Sister to the Orchid Garden. Let her recover in her own garden.”

Zhou Rongfang nodded, not saying anything.

With Jiang Peihuan’s arrangements, the entire Chrysanthemum Hall remained orderly.

“Elder Sister, the Zhao family is way out of line.”

Although Jiang Sijin didn’t really like Jiang Ruyun, she was still her siblings. Jiang Peihuan gazed at the divorce paper in her hands, her eyes filled with rage. “It’s alright, they won’t be smug for long.”

“Young Miss, Deputy General Liu has returned.”

Yue Er suddenly rushed in. Upon hearing her words, Jiang Peihuan quickly stood up. “Where is he?”

“In our own garden.”

“Let’s go.”

Jiang Peihuan strode forward, almost jogging the entire way. By the time she reached the entrance of the plum garden, her forehead was covered in sweat.
