Married To The Male Lead's Father (Translation)

CHAPTER 104

After the announcement of the engagement between the Ding Duke's residence and the Zheng Duke's residence, many people were shocked. The noble ladies who had been eyeing Xie Jingyi as a potential son-in-law could only lament silently.

The Emperor, in good health, refused to take on any more concubines. The Ding Duke's status was as solid as a mountain. Even though Xie Jingyi was merely an adopted son, he was the Commander of the Imperial Guards and a trusted aide of the Emperor. Not only did he have an unlimited future ahead, but his household was also unblemished.

It could be said that Xie Jingyi was the best choice for eligible noble ladies.

Now that the news of his engagement had suddenly emerged, these noble ladies' hearts were shattered, and they couldn't help but feel envious and jealous of the Zheng Duke's legitimate second daughter.

Originally, Yang Shuqing had been preparing to ascend after the death of Princess Qin, but when the sudden news of Xie Jingyi's engagement reached her, she was extremely angry and smashed a lot of porcelain.

"Miss, please don't get too angry. If you provoke His Highness, it will be troublesome," Qian Xin advised cautiously, though she felt speechless inside. Since Young Master Xie was no longer connected to the Miss, why get upset over someone unrelated?

Qian Xin didn't dare to say this out loud. The Miss's temper was domineering and possessive.

"You're right, it's not the time for distractions," Yang Shuqing said, suddenly realizing. She was now 'pregnant,' and Prince Qin was preparing to make her the official Princess Consort Qin. Concubine Shu was opposed, and it was critical not to have any issues at this time.

Dr. Chen was still unconscious.

If possible, it would be best to get rid of Dr. Chen, but there was no way to do so.

Qian Xin let out a quiet sigh of relief.

Qian Rong had been sent away from the Prince Qin residence and settled in a courtyard in the capital, living quietly. If one didn't investigate carefully, they wouldn't find out about Qian Rong's pregnancy.

Yang Shuqing didn't smash things anymore but was not idle. She could still find someone to deal with the Zheng Duke's legitimate second daughter.

Xie Jingyi was hers. Even if she couldn't have him, she wouldn't allow another woman to take him.

Yang Shuqing's obsession with Xie Jingyi had become deeply ingrained.

In her previous life, Xie Jingyi and Jiang Ningbao had been harmonious and happy, which Yang Shuqing had always envied. In this life, she had achieved her goal of marrying Xie Jingyi, but due to the disparity in status, they had divorced.

Yet Yang Shuqing couldn't let go.

"Qian Xin, has there been any bad news from the Ding Duke's residence?" Yang Shuqing suddenly remembered something else. According to the usual practice, the Imperial physician should have been summoned by now.

But the Ding Duke's residence seemed to be silent.

Yang Shuqing couldn't help but feel a bit irritated. Every time she dealt with Jiang Ningbao, it always seemed like a fruitless effort, leading to disappointment.

Qian Xin lowered her head and replied, "None."

Yang Shuqing frowned, her face darkening as she muttered, "It shouldn't be. Xu Xiangu's medicine shouldn't have failed again. What about Jiang Nanhua and his wife?"

Qian Xin, trembling, replied, "They are all well."

Yang Shuqing's face instantly became very ugly. Unable to restrain herself, she slapped the table hard and cursed, "Damn, Xu Xiangu, that wretched person, has deceived me."
