“He despises Meng Er so much just because when he was four years old, the cat raised by Meng Er scratched him.”

“1 already had that bastard killed, and yet he still bears such a grudge.”

Hearing this, Wang Kun remained silent.

Others might not know, but he was aware that the initial reason the cat bit King Cheng was that Consort Meng intentionally caused it.

Kun Ning Palace.

Regarding the events at Qianqing Hall, Jiang Peihuan was unaware.

After settling the Empress down on the bed, Jiang Peihuan softly advised,

“Your Royal Majesty, you should no longer concern yourself with anything. You must prioritize the child in your womb.”

“Huan Er, after being poisoned this time, tell me the truth. Will it affect the child in my womb?”

“There will be some effects, but since Your Royal Majesty is still early in the pregnancy, the impact should be minimal.”

Though Jiang Peihuan constantly reassured her, the Empress’s expression remained deeply worried.

Seeing this, Jiang Peihuan whispered, “Your Royal Majesty, don’t worry. Starting tomorrow, I’ll come to the palace every day to check your pulse.” “Really?”

Upon hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, the Empress’s eyes filled with joy.

But seeing Jiang Peihuan’s pregnant belly, the Empress shook her head, “This won’t do. You’re pregnant too. How can I let you travel back and forth daily?”

“You needn’t worry about me, Your Royal Majesty. I know my own body. If I feel unwell, 1 won’t push myself.”

People are inherently selfish. Hearing this, the Empress nodded in agreement.

“Has Consort Meng wronged you?”

Hearing her voice, Xiao Nanye looked at her, “Why do you ask?”

“Just a guess.”

Hearing this, a smile emerged on Xiao Nanye’s lips, yet it lacked warmth. “Huan Er, your intuition is right.”

Meeting Jiang Peihuan’s puzzled gaze, Xiao Nanye whispered, “When 1 was four, Consort Meng had her black cat bite me.”

“I was young and developed a high fever that very night. It was the imperial sister-in-law who stayed with me throughout.”

“After the Emperor learned of this, he had the black cat killed, but Consosrt Meng remained unharmed.”

“No wonder.”

This was the first time Jiang Peihuan heard him speak of his childhood. She fell silent for a long while before softly responding.

However, Xiao Nanye instinctively looked at Jiang Peihuan.

Seeing no change in her eyes, he whispered, “Huan Er, don’t you think I’m vengeful?”

“Not at all.”

“Because if it were me, I would do the same.”

Hearing her response, a trace of a smile appeared in Xiao Nanye’s eyes.

“Elder sister, brother-in-law?”

As Xiao Nanye and Jiang Peihuan arrived at the General’s mansion, they were greeted by Jiang Sijin and Jiang Songbai waiting at the entrance.

Seeing them, Jiang Peihuan softly asked, “Why are both of you waiting here?”

“Of course, we were waiting for elder sister and brother-in-law.”

Moments later, Jiang Peihuan and Xiao Nanye headed to Jiang Sijin’s courtyard.

Upon their arrival, Jiang Changbai was packing things, and Liu Xin was also present.

“Sister Jiang, King Cheng.”

Seeing Jiang Peihuan and Xiao Nanye entering, Liu Xin immediately came forward to salute.

“Big brother, are you preparing to barbecue?”

Jiang Peihuan noticed the meat slices and charcoal fire nearby.

Jiang Changbai was starting the fire. Hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, he said softly, “It’s because Sijin wanted to eat.”

“This barbecued meat is not easy to digest, so I didn’t invite our grandmother.”

“Sister Jiang, please sit with His Highness. It’ll be ready soon.”

Liu Xin was very efficient, bustling around behind Jiang Changbai.

Seeing this, a smile flashed in Jiang Peihuan’s eyes.

“Sister Xin Er, let me help…”

Just as Jiang Sijin was about to step forward, she was pulled back by Jiang Songbai.

“What are you doing?”

“Elder brother and cousin are getting along well. Why are you trying to intervene? Can’t you see?”

Hearing Jiang Songbai’s words, confusion filled Jiang Sijin’s eyes.

But the smile in Jiang Peihuan’s eyes deepened.

Shortly after, many barbecued meat slices were served.

“All of us siblings love spicy food. Are you okay with it?”

Sitting down, Jiang Peihuan turned to the man beside her.

Hearing her words, Xiao Nanye laughed and said, “Have you forgotten? 1 spent two years in the North.”

Hearing this, Jiang Peihuan didn’t respond.

The North is always covered in snow. Almost everyone there eats spicy food to ward off the cold.

“Elder brother, how about we get some wine?”

After a few bites, Jiang Sijin grabbed Jiang Changbai’s sleeve. But he pulled his sleeve away, “Don’t even think about it.”

“You can barely handle three cups of wine, yet you shout for it every day. If our parents hear about it, they’ll scold me.”

“People say you should drink with big bites of meat. Meat without wine is so dull.”

“You’re lucky to have meat. Stop talking nonsense.”

“Just a little, elder brother, please!”

Jiang Sijin grabbed Jiang Changbai’s sleeve, gazing at him pleadingly.

“Impossible.”

Jiang Changbai shook off her hand, avoiding her gaze. “Last time you got drunk, father scolded me for two hours. Did you defend me?”

Hearing this, guilt flashed in Jiang Sijin’s eyes.

“Eldest sister?”

“Don’t look at me.”

Jiang Sijin began to speak, but Jiang Peihuan interrupted her.

“Brother-in-law?”

At this moment, Jiang Sijin blinked at Xiao Nanye.

Just as Jiang Peihuan was about to speak, she heard Xiao Nanye say, “If you want to drink, then drink. But don’t overdo it.”

“Brother-in-law, I declare, from now on, you’re my real brother-in-law.”

“So, I’m not your real brother-in-law now?”

Hearing Jiang Sijin’s words, Xiao Nanye said somewhat irritably.

“Hehe… now you’re even closer.”

Since Xiao Nanye had agreed, neither Jiang Changbai nor Jiang Peihuan objected. But after a moment’s thought, Jiang Changbai turned to Xiao Nanye, “When our parents smell the alcohol later, you’ll have to admit it was your idea.”

At that moment, Xiao Nanye didn’t understand the implications of Jiang Changbai’s words. But two hour later, he did.

Watching Jiang Sijin wave her whip, Xiao Nanye, with a headache, looked at Jiang Peihuan, “Is she always like this after drinking?”

“Today is actually one of her better days.”

“Don’t run, 1’11 kill you!”

As Jiang Peihuan finished speaking, Xiao Nanye saw Jiang Sijin hug a tree in the courtyard. She drew her whip, relentlessly whipping the tree.

But…

“Be careful…”

“All…”

Jiang Changbai’s reaction was fast, but still not quick enough. The whip Jiang Sijin had lashed on the tree recoiled and hit her own face..
