Chapter 51: The Crown Prince's Concubine is Pregnant (Additional Update)
Jiang Shijin fainted without any warning, and Second Aunt Zhang screamed immediately. Even Old Madam Jiang was very worried and shouted for someone to go find a doctor.

The scene suddenly became a little chaotic, but Jiang Huaishan and his daughter Jiang Shiyuan remained calm.

Jiang Shijin had always been in good health and had never been ill. He suddenly fainted at this moment. It was probably because he was too angry. It seemed that Princess Qinghuan had severely suppressed the prince's work, otherwise she, a woman in the harem, would not be so worried.

Thinking of this, Jiang Shiyuan was no longer in a hurry.

Jiang Shiyuan guessed that when she woke up, she would start crying again, and then beg her big sister to forgive her. Jiang Shiyuan was too lazy to deal with such things, so she leaned close to her father Jiang Huaishan and said something.

"Dad, I'm a little tired today, I want to go back and rest first, my second sister, I'm of no use here, please allow me."

"Well, you really should take a rest. We still have to prepare for the wedding these days. You need to get better so that you can withstand the journey to Hanzhou. Go back first. I'll ask the doctor to come over and check on you later."

"No need, my daughter is just a little tired, it's nothing serious, she just needs to get some sleep."

After Jiang Huaishan took a close look at her face, he found that her condition did not seem serious, so he agreed. Then Jiang Shiyuan greeted Old Madam Jiang and left.

When she left, Second Aunt Zhang became even more angry.

"The eldest girl has such a cruel heart. She didn't even show any reaction when her own sister fainted!"

"She has no medical skills and can't take care of things. What's the point of staying here? If my second brother's wife wants to keep talking like this, then she should move out of this house as soon as possible. I, Jiang Huaishan's daughter, don't need an outsider to say anything about how she behaves in her own home!"

Jiang Huaishan's tone now was very serious and cold, which immediately suppressed the arrogance of Second Aunt Zhang. Although Old Madam Jiang also wanted to protect her, when she thought of her eldest granddaughter's future husband and such a powerful family, she naturally had nothing to say.

Moreover, what she was more concerned about was always her grandson's future and the future of the Jiang family. In comparison, she didn't care whether her daughter-in-law was wronged or not, so she just followed her son's words.

"Second wife, shut up."

The continuous suppression made Zhang extremely angry, but her daughter had not yet established herself after marrying into Prince Chun's Mansion. She could not turn against her uncle and mother-in-law at the moment, so she could only lower her head and hide her resentment in her heart.

Soon, a doctor was invited from outside, and Jiang Shijin was moved to a side courtyard of Tai'an Hospital.

Although Zhang was arrogant and domineering on weekdays, she truly loved her only daughter. Therefore, seeing her lying there with a bad look on her face, she felt very uncomfortable. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and asked the doctor worriedly.

"Doctor, how is my daughter?"

The doctor took the patient's pulse carefully and breathlessly for a while, and then his frown relaxed.

"Madam, don't worry. The Crown Princess is almost two months pregnant. She fainted just now because of a momentary panic, but the fetus is very stable. She just needs more rest and care in the future."

pregnant?!
When these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked, but after being shocked, they were all excited and thrilled, especially Second Aunt Zhang. She suppressed the urge to jump up and asked another question solemnly.

"Doctor, are you sure?"

"I have been practicing medicine for many years, and I can still tell the pulse of pregnancy. If you don't believe me, you can ask other doctors to take another look." Upon hearing this, Madam Jiang said unexpectedly.

"Nonsense, Doctor Yu has been in charge of Huichuntang for decades, how could he make a mistake like this? Doctor Yu, please don't be offended, my second daughter-in-law is too happy, that's why she said something out of tune."

Doctor Yu was not a person who would care about matters. After hearing this, he smiled, stroked his beard and said generously.

"Madam, you don't need to explain. I understand. The Second Madam is just happy for a moment. I will go down and write a prescription. You can let the Crown Princess rest more. She has a good health and will be fine."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Doctor Yu."

Madam Jiang signaled to Mother Du beside her to send Doctor Yu out. The three people in the room, the grandparents, the mother and the daughter, were so happy that they were speechless, especially Jiang Shijin.

She had been worrying about how to deal with her difficult situation in Prince Chun's Mansion, but now, the child in her belly had become her only hope. If she could give birth to a boy, her position as the Crown Prince's Consort would be secure.

Thinking of this, Jiang Shijin breathed a sigh of relief, and his second aunt Zhang beside him also spoke excitedly.

"Jin'er, the pregnancy-maintaining medicine you took was not in vain. Look at your body, it's better than others! It's only been a short time since you got married, and you're already pregnant! Didn't you say that the princess looked down on you? This time, let her see who is the one who brings good fortune to her husband and children!"

Although she didn't mention anyone by name, everyone present knew that she was poking at Jiang Shiyuan's spine.

So what if she married into a higher-class family and had a better husband?

Without children, everything is empty.

But her daughter is different. She can still give birth for a long time, and then the one who inherits the entire Prince Chun’s Mansion will be her own grandson. She wants to see what will happen to the future eldest wife of the Pei family if she has no children!
The more he thought about it, the more relieved he felt. He held his daughter's hand and became as arrogant as before!
Old Madam Jiang knew exactly what was going on, so she scolded him with a sullen look on her face and said.

"Okay, have you forgotten what Huaishan just said? We are all family. If Jin'er and Anian are well, won't it benefit our Jiang family? Give me the prescription for the pregnancy-maintaining medicine you have. I'll have someone send it to Anian. After she gets married, it's better to arrange for this child as soon as possible."

When Second Aunt Zhang heard this, she became unhappy.

But before she could say a few words, Jiang Shijin pulled her hand and gave her a look that told her to stop talking. Then he spoke to Old Madam Jiang with a magnanimous look on his face.

"Don't be angry, grandma. Mother has always had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. You are right. My elder sister and I are both daughters of the Jiang family. We must gain a firm foothold in our respective husbands' families so that the Jiang family can move to a higher level. I will personally deliver the prescription for the pregnancy-maintaining medicine to my elder sister later. I can say that my current blessing is all due to my elder sister's help. I should be grateful to her for this for the rest of my life."

Hearing this, Old Madam Jiang was extremely relieved.

"Look, Jin'er has become much more sensible after getting married. Well, you can send her to your elder sister later and have a good talk with her. There is no such thing as overnight hatred between sisters. Your husbands are all rich men now. If you help each other, you can stand more firmly in the court!"

"Grandma is right!"

After the grandfather and grandson talked for a while, old lady Jiang went back to rest first. She had two happy events in succession today, so naturally she had to go to worship the Buddha. However, Jiang Shijin, who was still resting in the side room, had to face her mother Zhang who was not very happy.
