Reborn Spoiled Girl Tames the Regent

Chapter 110 When you have something to care about, fear will arise.

Wen Qian, holding an umbrella, hurried over.

Jiang Mian stood under the eaves, stomping her feet with joy.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Hengzhi said, "When have you ever been this happy to see me?" His words were laced with undisguised sourness.

"Why is Your Highness jealous even of this?" She chuckled, then quickly went over to take Wen Qian's hand and exchanged pleasantries with her.

Xiao Hengzhi followed her and said calmly, "With such heavy rain today, why did the Crown Princess come? Is there something important?"

"Greetings, Your Highness." Wen Qian said after bowing, "I happened to pass by the Prince's residence today, so I thought I'd come and see Miss Jiang the Second."

"Look? Nothing else?"

"It's nothing important..." Wen Qian was intimidated by his imposing manner, and her voice grew softer and softer.

"Since there is nothing urgent and you have seen it, Princess Consort, please leave." He gave her the order to leave without any hesitation.

Wen Qian was momentarily embarrassed and didn't know how to answer. She had just come in and was about to leave; wasn't that like being kicked out?

Just as she was wondering if she had inadvertently offended the prince.

Jiang Mian took her hand and said, "Princess Consort, don't be nervous. The Prince is just joking with you."

"I didn't mean to say..."

He was about to speak when he saw Jiang Mian frown, glaring at him as if she were angry but also coquettish.

The words she was about to say were changed again: "Ahem, just kidding, Your Highness, please make yourself at home."

Wen Qian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Mian led her into the room, and as they entered, Xiao Hengzhi also took a step forward, wanting to go in as well.

"What is Your Highness doing? Are you trying to join in the sisters' private conversation?" Jiang Wan turned around and stared at him.

"This king..."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I'll stay in the room and won't go anywhere." After she finished speaking, she closed the door with a smile.

Xiao Hengzhi clenched his fists. He didn't know how he had been overshadowed by Jiang Wan, but going in now would make him seem unreasonable.

He simply turned around and went back to his study, where he also had something of great importance to do.

The fact that Jiang Mian was frightened by the lion the day before yesterday must mean that his identity as a Red Slave has been exposed, and someone behind him wants to use this to threaten him into showing himself.

But the person behind it all, who brought the lion in front of Jiang Wan, was only trying to scare her; they didn't actually hurt her...

It seems they were testing whether Jiang Wan had someone secretly protecting her, and now they've found out—Gui Ye has been arrested.

Will the next step be to kidnap Jiang Mian and force him to surrender?

Such cunning tactics could only come from either Ning Zhi or Duan Zhi'an.

They just sent assassins not long ago, and now they can't wait to strike again.

Since Guiye was captured along with the lion, he must have been taken back to the hunting grounds.

He escaped from the beast field back then, and now that he's been caught again, he's bound to suffer a lot.

But Duan Zhi'an would definitely not let Gui Ye die easily. At least until he showed up, he would spare his life.

If he were to rescue Guiye, he must succeed in one fell swoop.

Otherwise, they would both perish.

Now that he knows he is a Red Slave... he will surely be met with the most ruthless killing blows to wipe him out.

Xiao Hengzhi stood outside the door, with the sound of pattering rain in front of him, and the occasional sounds of girls talking and laughing coming from inside the house.

He was very hesitant.

When you're all alone, it seems like you're willing to take on anything, and you don't care if you lose your life, since you have nothing behind you anyway.

But once you have something to worry about, fear will arise.

He has always looked down on people, but now he is actually a little afraid of death.

What will happen to Jiang Wan if he dies...?

The effects of the Spring Bitterness Powder on her body have not yet been neutralized.

......

Inside the room, Jiang Mian and Wen Qian chatted and laughed, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.

Wen Qian took the newly made sachets and placed several in her room, looking somewhat childlike and earnest, determined to find the most suitable place.

Soon, a faint floral fragrance filled the air, refreshing and delightful.

Looking at the embroidered pattern on the sachet, Jiang Mian gently stroked the delicate stitches with her fingers and couldn't help but sigh, "The Crown Prince's skills are getting better and better. The Crown Prince is truly blessed to have married you."

Wen Qian blushed slightly at the compliment, but couldn't help but smile. She said mysteriously, "Actually, there's something else I wanted to tell you today..."

"What's the matter?"

Wen Qian lowered her head and said shyly, "I...I'm pregnant..."

Jiang Wan's eyes widened suddenly, she covered her mouth and gasped, asking in surprise, "Really? When did this happen?!"

Wen Qian smiled and said softly, "I haven't had my period since last month. I've been counting the days and I've been suspicious for a while, but I wasn't sure. I secretly went to the clinic today, and it turns out I'm pregnant. I'm so happy, but my family doesn't know yet, so I couldn't help but come and tell you first."

Her joy was palpable, and Jiang Wan couldn't help but grasp her hand, excitedly asking, "So, the Crown Prince and you are very close?"

Wen Qian blushed slightly at the question, but her eyes couldn't hide the sweetness: "Indeed... it's much better than before, even having a child was something he suggested..."

Jiang Wan felt a surge of joy. In her previous life, Li Zhijing and Wen Qian had been estranged for a lifetime. Not to mention having children, he rarely even went home.

Now that she can do it all over again, she finally feels that she did a good thing.

She asked, "Has the Crown Princess decided when to tell the Crown Prince? He would surely be happy. Once a man becomes a father, he really changes."

As she spoke, a slight thought struck her, and she suddenly remembered Ning Zhi...

In his previous life, Yu'er was born less than a year after he ascended the throne.

He was busy with political affairs and had very little time to rest, but he would personally participate in every important moment for Yu'er.

He would also do what any ordinary father would do: make him small toys, hold him and stroll around the palace, and speak to him in words he couldn't understand.

But before he could even wait for Yu'er to learn to call him "Father," he had already bid her farewell forever at the palace gates...

Xiao Heng said that Yu'er is safe and sound...

But so what? How will he grow up without his parents' company in the long years to come?

Bearing endless loneliness and solitude, what kind of person will he grow up to be?

Jiang Mian was lost in thought, a strange sadness welled up in her heart, and her eyes involuntarily reddened.
