Chapter 243 - 243: 243: She Really is a Ruthless Woman

“Have you heard anything else?”

“I also saw my little brother and sister. My sister is really pretty, just as pretty as Auntie.” Li Tingqian squatted on the ground, cupping his chubby cheeks, “Yesterday, Auntie put on a red dress, it was the first time I saw her in red. She looked more beautiful than the red plum blossoms outside the door.”

Li Hongyuan bit his dumpling and looked at the red plum blossom at the door, imagining Jiang Ning in a red skirt.

She was usually seen wearing a white skirt, lazily sitting and napping in a wheelchair.

He couldn’t imagine what she would look like when she was completely serious.

With that thought, Li Hongyuan suddenly recalled one morning when he woke up and found himself, under the influence of intoxication, taking advantage of Jiang Ning. She was naked, nestled in his arms and sleeping soundly.

Her soft, warm skin, the sweet expression on her sleeping face.

Other than shock, his initial thought at that time was to take her again…

However, she woke up quickly, forcing him to pretend to be asleep.

Who would have expected her to be so ruthless and tried to kill him with an object, right on the spot.

If not for him waking up early, he would have been battered and bruised by her attack.

However, what remained in his memory at this time was not her rage when she woke up, but the scene of her lifting the cup to hit him and exposing her body when the cup slipped…

Li Hongyuan took a deep breath, suppressing the impure thoughts that emerged within him.

“Fifth Imperial Uncle, are you feeling uncomfortable?” Li Tingqian squatted in front of him, tilting his head to look at him.

“No.”

“Then why is your face red?” Li Tingqian blinked his eyes.

“It’s nothing, it’s cold in the room, that’s why.”

“It’s not cold, there’s a brazier, isn’t there?” said Li Tingqian, full of curiosity.

“…Why do children always have so many questions?” Li Hongyuan put down his chopsticks, “What else did you see?”

Li Tingqian shook his head, “Nothing else. However, Fifth Imperial Uncle, will my little brother and sister stay in Jiang’s house forever? Will they never come back?”

“Who told you that?”

“I heard the maids in Auntie’s room talking about it. They were whispering that since Prince Yu won’t be made the Crown Prince, the young master and young lady won’t need to go into the palace.”

Li Hongyuan laughed coldly.

This woman, he had underestimated her.

She used Wenren Zong to provoke him, letting Emperor Father lock him up, then resolutely kicked Wenren Zong out of the Jiang Family.

What a ruthless woman.

“…Fifth Imperial Uncle, are you angry?” Li Tingqian asked in a low voice.

“Of course not, Fifth Imperial Uncle is happy.”

“Happy about what?”

“Happy that your Auntie is a formidable woman.” Li Hongyuan patted his head, looking out at the red plum blossoms with profound eyes.

Late at night.

Every family was keeping vigil.

Jiang Ning hugged the heater, letting Huang Ying push her to the living quarters to check on the two children.

They were sleeping side by side on the bed, warm and sound.

Jiang Ning touched Lingzi’s forehead, then kissed each of the children’s cheeks.

Huang Ying whispered, “It’s past midnight now, Miss should also go to sleep, you need to get up early tomorrow.”

Jiang Ning: “Alright.”

Huang Ying pushed her back to the room, she got up from the wheelchair and sat on the edge of the bed.

Huang Ying called Chunlai and Xiachu to help her change clothes, undo her hairstyle, and remove her jewelry.

After Jiang Ning lay down, she told them to go to sleep as well. Huang Ying left Chunlai to keep watch.

Apart from Li Hongyuan and Jiang Ning, the only one who knew the truth about that incident was Huang Ying.

The rest of the maids, even Chunlai, were oblivious..
