Chapter 260: Princess Zhenxin's suspicions arise
"Don't worry, big brother, regarding Jingzhou, I have made all the arrangements. The two children can't escape, and the people around them are specially selected, so it will be no problem to keep an eye on them."

"I'm not worried about Lin'er. He has been a timid child since he was young. But you should ask people to be more careful about Xiaoyue. She has been involved in Jiang Shijin's affairs. If we hadn't discovered it earlier, I'm afraid more than one person would have been sent back to Prince Chun's Mansion. It's really embarrassing. If my second brother knew that his daughter had become like this, I don't know how he would blame me!"

Whenever Jiang Huaishan mentioned this matter, he always felt a little uneasy and painful in his heart. Jiang Huaiyi could see that his brother was blaming himself, so he spoke to him comfortingly.

"Brother, please be patient. Even if Second Brother knew, he would only blame Zhang for not educating her daughter properly. Jiang Shijin has humiliated herself and the Jiang family time and again. There is nothing left for us to say to her in the future. Our blood relationship ends here! We will be strangers if we meet again!"

In comparison, Jiang Huaiyi is more cruel. She had been very considerate and attentive to her niece, but she never took her seriously at all. Otherwise, she wouldn't have waited so long to bring her back and made all the arrangements for her, yet she did such a thing!

He snorted coldly, looking down on Jiang Shijin from the bottom of his heart.

Jiang Huaishan sighed lightly. Now he would no longer show mercy, so he looked up into the distance and said lightly.

"When Hui'er gets married and there's a woman in charge of the family, everything will be fine."

"That's right. The most important thing right now is to marry the daughter of the Geng family. Everything else should be put aside!"

As the brother and sister talked, they slowly put Tai'an Courtyard behind them, just like the Old Madam Jiang who lived there and the past events of the Jiang family, which all became a thing of the past.

When the sunset glowed over Xijing City, Jiang Shiyuan and Pei Zisu followed the servants into the princess's mansion. Princess Qinghuan had just gotten up at that time, and she looked lazy.

In April, clothes were already quite thin, and Princess Qinghuan was pregnant, so her clothes were even looser and softer.

Others were not aware of it, so they didn't notice it much.

But Jiang Shiyuan was a woman who had just given birth to two children, so she could naturally tell the difference at a glance. So she looked at Princess Qinghuan with surprise, and then asked with a smile.

"Is the princess pregnant?"

"Well, he's over five months old and almost six months old, so he's been too lazy to move these days. I guess he's just a lazy kid."

When she said this, there was a rare hint of gentleness in her eyes.

Reaching out and touching the slightly bulging belly, it can be seen that Princess Qinghuan is very much looking forward to this child.

"That's great. If you calculate it this way, the date of the birth will be almost the same as when Sister Jue and Brother come. I will bring the two children to visit the princess then!"

"Okay, this princess is bored staying in the mansion all day long. I'm really jealous of your children. Send them to me to have a look."

The two hadn't seen each other for some time, but they didn't feel any sense of alienation when they met. Instead, they had a lot more common language because of the child. Pei Zisu listened quietly on the side without interrupting, but just glanced around the princess's mansion, feeling that something was wrong.

"What? General Pei noticed that there are changes in the princess's mansion?"

"I dare not, but I am a little curious. I wonder if Prince Consort Cheng is in trouble. I heard that he has not appeared in Xijing City for a long time."

After hearing him say that, Jiang Shiyuan finally realized what was going on. Yes, the princess was pregnant, but the prince consort couldn't see her. No matter how he looked at it, he felt something was wrong. But Princess Qinghuan was very calm, and there wasn't even a trace of embarrassment or pain in her eyes. She smiled and said.

"This princess has already divorced her husband and sent him out of Xijing City. As for whether he wants to go sightseeing or visit old friends, that is his own business. This princess cannot control it."

"Divorce? Princess, you are still pregnant, why would you suddenly divorce?"

"So what if she's pregnant? I will take full responsibility for the child, but Cheng Dengping is not in my plan. You and your wife know the reason for this marriage. Although he doesn't know much about the things behind it, he has never been nice to me in the mansion. I am the Princess of Dasui, holding the power of the world, and I have to make so many decisions. But in the end, I have to look at the face of a nobody like him. Isn't this a joke? So, I divorced him and sent him away, so that I can save trouble in the future."

When Princess Qinghuan said these words, her words were full of heroism and relief.

If someone didn't know the inside story, they would have thought she was telling the truth. However, there was more heartache in Jiang Shiyuan's eyes. She had known the princess for many years and naturally knew her temper. She looked indestructible, but she was very soft-hearted at heart.

The fact that she was pregnant with this child also showed that she was indeed in love with Prince Consort Cheng, but she was able to give up this love and let him leave. There must have been many reasons why she had to do so.

But she didn't dare to ask, so she could only express her concern silently.

Princess Qinghuan could sense Jiang Shiyuan's worry, so her smile was genuine.

"Don't worry, he's just a man. It's impossible for this princess to ruin her character. You must have something else to talk about today. Let's get straight to the point."

Although she was speaking to Jiang Shiyuan, her eyes were directed at Pei Zisu.

He appeared in Xijing City so openly and moved around with great fanfare. It was obvious at a glance that he was Xiang Zhuang dancing with a sword, aiming at Pei Gong. As for who the "Pei Gong" was in his eyes, Princess Qinghuan was also very curious.

Pei Zisu did not hide anything. He stood up, clasped his fists and spoke to Princess Qinghuan.

"The Southern Tang has been destroyed, and the purpose of my joining the army has been achieved. I am not a person who is obsessed with gain. I just want to spend the rest of my life with my wife and children. So I returned to Xijing City this time, firstly to attend my eldest brother-in-law's wedding, and secondly, I also want to resign from His Majesty and become a rich and idle person in the future. I came here today to ask the princess to help talk to His Majesty so that he can approve it."

His words did shock Princess Qinghuan.

What Pei Zisu wants now is not only to give up his military achievements, but also to give up everything the Pei family has. In this way, this Pei is not that Pei, and his surname Pei is worthless.

"you sure?"

"determine."

"You watched him act recklessly and didn't try to stop him?"

"How can it be nonsense for my husband to do this for me and the children?"

Seeing the couple speaking in such a unified tone, Princess Qinghuan was really speechless. Her eyes changed from confusion at first to suspicion, and then to confusion.
