“I don’t care about Xue Ru, but I can’t ignore my mother’s feelings.”

“Alright, as you wish. Let’s not bother with irrelevant people.”

Jiang Peihuan did not want to see Xue Yan sad, so she tried to ignore Xue Ru’s existence. However, the events that followed made her deeply regret not taking Xiao Nanye’s advice and getting rid of Xue Ru directly.

Xue Yan allowed Xue Ru to come to the General’s Mansion and spend some time in Yan Lin. But after that, Xue Ru came every day.

Yet, she would just sit for a while and then leave, doing nothing. Although the people of the General’s Mansion were annoyed by her, they said nothing.

After a while, Xue Ru began to visit Jiang Peihuan’s plum garden.

Today, she came again.

Jiang Peihuan had just woken up when she heard her servant Yue Er announce, “Your Highness, the young lady from the Xue family has come again.”

“Tell her I haven’t woken up yet and send her away.”

In front of Xue Yan, Jiang Peihuan felt constrained, but when alone, she really didn’t want to deal with Xue Ru.

“Yes.”

Hearing Jiang Peihuan’s instructions, Yue Er went out. As Lu Er attended to her, Jiang Peihuan began to have her meal.

Lately, she often woke up late in the morning.

“Where is Nanye?”

Jiang Peihuan had gotten used to Xiao Nanye being around her every day. Waking up and not seeing his familiar figure, she felt a bit uneasy.

Handing the utensils to Jiang Peihuan, Lu Er whispered, “Someone from the palace came, saying the Emperor has summoned His Highness.”

“My Queen.”

As Lu Er finished speaking, Yue Er walked in.

Seeing what she was holding, Jiang Peihuan looked puzzled, “What is this?”

“This is a gift from the young lady for the young prince in your belly.”

As she spoke, Yue Er placed the items on the table. Jiang Peihuan glanced and saw baby clothes and collars.

“Call Ye Xiao over.”

“My Queen, you called for me?”

Just as Jiang Peihuan finished speaking, Ye Xiao entered.

Seeing her, Jiang Peihuan pointed at the items on the table, “Check these.”

“Yes.”

Ye Xiao carefully inspected everything and finally reported, “Your Highness, there’s nothing wrong with these items.”

Although Xue Ru had been sincere lately, Jiang Peihuan still didn’t trust that someone like her could truly change. But now, hearing Ye Xiao’s words, she felt even more puzzled.

Not understanding, she decided not to ponder it further. She instructed Yue Er, “Put these things in the storeroom.”

“Yes.”

In the following days, Xue Ru frequently visited the plum garden looking for Jiang Peihuan.

But Jiang Peihuan never met her. Xue Ru didn’t seem to mind and would bring gifts every time, all of them children’s items.

After Ye Xiao inspected them several times and found nothing amiss, Lu Er sent them straight to the storeroom.

“Yes.”

In the next few days, Xue Ru often came to the Plum Garden to look for Jian Peihuan.

However, Jian Peihuan () had never seen Xue Ru (Ru) once. The latter did not mind. Every time she came, she would prepare some gifts, which were all children’s tools.

After Ye Xiao checked it a few times and there was no problem with the items, Lu Er directly sent the items to the storeroom.

At night.

Plum Garden.

Jiang Peihuan on the bed had her brows furrowed, sweat covering her forehead.

“Jiang Peihuan, your father is dead, your Jiang family has been annihilated, and your two younger sisters have been given to the soldiers.”

“As for you…”

In her dream, Jiang Peihuan was back in her previous life. She witnessed the devastation of the Jiang family, saw Jiang Songbai die tragically, saw Jiang Sijin die horribly, and finally, she saw Liu Xiu, who wasn’t skilled in martial arts, raising a long sword.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Peihuan couldn’t hold back any longer and screamed, “No…”

“Huan Er…”

Familiar voices kept calling out to her.

Jiang Peihuan opened her eyes.

Upon opening her eyes, she saw Xiao Nanye looking at her with deep concern.

The man, seeing Jiang Peihuan drenched in sweat, anxiously asked, “Huan Er, what happened? Did you have a nightmare?”

Was it a dream?

But the images felt incredibly real.

Jiang Peihuan tried to speak, but her throat felt dry.

“Don’t speak, I’ll get water.”

Before she could respond, she heard the man’s voice.

Xiao Nanye got out of bed, went to the table, and quickly brought a cup of water to Jiang Peihuan’s lips.

With his assistance, Jiang Peihuan drank all the tea.

After the drink, she felt much better.

“I’m fine.”

Looking at Xiao Nanye, Jiang Peihuan whispered.

Xiao Nanye touched her forehead, ensuring she was of normal temperature, then he let go.

“I’ll get you some dry clothes.”

Jiang Peihuan, soaked in cold sweat, nodded in agreement.

Moments later, she was dressed in clean garments.

“Sleep now.”

After placing the damp clothes aside, Xiao Nanye held her gently, careful of her belly.

Smelling the cool scent of the man, Jiang Peihuan quickly drifted off to sleep.

However, about an hour later, she was startled awake again.

The same dream, the same scene, the same outcome. When Jiang Peihuan woke up the second time, she felt drained of all her energy.

Xiao Nanye woke up instantly when Jiang Peihuan started to struggle.

Seeing her restless movements, he held her tight and softly called, “Huan Er.”

Jiang Peihuan slowly opened her eyes.

But they were bloodshot.

Seeing this, Xiao Nanye frowned, “Is someone there?”

He softly called out to the door.

“Your Highness?”

Xiao Nanye had barely spoken when Ye Xiao’s voice came from outside.

“Come in.”

Upon hearing the man’s voice, Ye Xiao gently opened the door and stepped inside. She walked forward two steps, without looking at the people on the bed, “Your Highness, how may 1 assist you?”

“Check the pulse for the Queen.”

“Is the Queen Cheng feeling unwell?”

Concerned for Jiang Peihuan, Ye Xiao quickly approached the bed and began to examine her pulse.

After a thorough check, she frowned.

“How is she?”

“Your Highness, there seems to be nothing wrong with the queen’s health.”

“Then why is she constantly having nightmares?”

Upon hearing this, surprise flashed in Ye Xiao’s eyes. After a moment of silence, she whispered, “I cannot determine the reason.”

“Leave!”

Coldness flashed in Xiao Nanye’s eyes. Seeing this, Jiang Peihuan grabbed his hand and whispered, “I’m fine, maybe 1 just didn’t sleep well.”

“Ye Xiao, you may leave.”

“Yes.”

Hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, Ye Xiao bowed and left the room.

That night, Jiang Peihuan didn’t sleep.

In another room of the Prince Qing Mansion, Jiang Yan also stayed awake all night.

“How is it?”

Looking at the old man in the room, Jiang Yan whispered..
