....Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Zhou Rongfang was extremely agitated. Upon hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, she directly handed the child in her arms over to her.
Curiously, as soon as the child reached Jiang Peihuan’s arms, he stopped crying.
Jiang Peihuan looked down at the child in her embrace. The baby greatly resembled Jian Mei and was indeed handsome.
With one arm holding the baby, Jiang Peihuan gently touched the child’s face with the other hand.
Perhaps due to her own pregnancy, looking at this child now, Jiang Peihuan felt a certain fondness.
“My Queen, the nanny has arrived,” said Ye Xiao at this moment, accompanied by a wet nurse.
Upon hearing Ye Xiao’s voice, Jiang Peihuan handed the child over to the nanny without hesitation, instructing, “Take care of him.”
“Yes,” replied the nanny with her head bowed, coming over to Jiang Peihuan.
As Jiang Peihuan was about to extend her hand, the nanny suddenly tossed the child away. Drawing a dagger from her sleeve, she lunged at Jiang Peihuan in an assassination attempt.
Everything happened so swiftly.
“Huan Er…”
“My Queen?”
Witnessing the scene, everyone showed signs of alarm.
Jiang Peihuan could have evaded the dagger, but seeing the child thrown to the ground, her eyes revealed complex emotions. In the end, she leapt forward, catching the child in her arms, but the dagger also pierce into her arm.
At this moment, Ye Xiao immediately stepped forward, kicking the nanny away. However, the nanny quickly reoriented herself, withdrawing her dagger to strike at Jiang Peihuan once more.
Ye Xiao intervened, blocking the attempt.
The nanny was highly skilled in martial arts, almost matching Ye Xiao’s prowess. However, with her background as a professional guard and her rich experience, Ye Xiao quickly subdued her.
As she was being captured, the nanny tried to bite her tongue to commit suicide. Jiang Peihuan quickly shouted, “Stop her, don’t let her die!”
After handing the child back to Zhou Rongfang, Jiang Peihuan addressed the nanny, “Who are you? Who sent you?”
“Hmph!”
Ignoring Jiang Peihuan’s questions, the nanny defiantly turned her head away.
“My Queen, allow me to interrogate her,” she proposed.
“No need,” Jiang Peihuan replied, shaking her head.
Turning her gaze back to the nanny, a faint smile lingered on Jiang Peihuan’s lips, but her eyes were filled with menace.
Suddenly, two golden needles appeared in her hand. Before anyone could react, she swiftly plunged them into the nanny’s body.
As the needles penetrated, the nanny writhed on the ground, crying out in anguish.
The members of the Jiang family watched in horror.
“Nanny Xu, please send Grandmother inside to rest.”
“Yes.”
“Second Aunt, Third Aunt, you should go to the small hall to rest.”
“Huan Er, you must take care of yourself. Don’t forget, you are pregnant.”
Liu Xiu’s face was a bit pale, but after hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, she stepped forward and gently held Jiang Peihuan’s hand.
Seeing the concern in Liu Xiu’s eyes, Jiang Peihuan smiled, “Third Aunt, don’t worry, I’m fine.”
Once the Jiang family members went inside, Jiang Peihuan then looked down at the wailing nanny on the ground.
“There’s no rush. You can say it whenever you want to.”
Saying this, Jiang Peihuan took a seat on a nearby chair.
“My Queen, you should stop the bleeding first.”
At this moment, Ye Xiao came to Jiang Peihuan’s side and whispered after seeing the wound on her arm.
Jiang Peihuan didn’t speak but nodded.
Yue Er and Lu Er quickly fetched hot water and prepared gauze and hemostatic medicine.
Ye Xiao rolled up Jiang Peihuan’s sleeve and, seeing the deep cut on her fair skin, showed a hint of guilt in her eyes, but said nothing.
After applying the medicine carefully, Ye Xiao bandaged her wound.
Once that was done, the nanny on the ground finally spoke, “I’ll talk, I’ll talk…”
Hearing this, Jiang Peihuan looked at her.
Jiang Peihuan bent down to remove the golden needles from her body. With the needles out, the nanny stopped wailing.
“Speak.”
Resuming her seat, Jiang Peihuan said lightly.
“It was the Empress who sent me, I…”
“Nonsense!”
Before the nanny could finish, Jiang Peihuan interrupted her.
Yet, the nanny continued, “If Queen Cheng doesn’t believe me, you can investigate. 1 belong to the Li family; it was the Empress who sent me.”
“I’m afraid it wasn’t the Empress who sent you here, but the Li family.”
Jiang Peihuan retorted as soon as the nanny finished speaking.
Seeing Jiang Peihuan’s remark, the nanny showed a moment of panic.
Although she quickly regained her composure, Jiang Peihuan had been closely observing her and noticed the change in her expression.
This confirmed Jiang Peihuan’s suspicion.
“Ye Xiao, take her away and have someone watch her.”
“Yes.”
As Jiang Peihuan was giving orders, she saw Deputy General Liu, rushing over.
“My Queen?”
“What happened?”
“My Queen, soldiers are attacking our mansion. The Third Young Master is defending the gate with our troops, but there are many attackers. I fear they won’t hold out for long.”
Hearing Deputy General Liu’s words, Jiang Peihuan’s expression shifted but she quickly regained her composure.
Looking at Deputy General Liu, Jiang Peihuan ordered, “Bring all the servants from the backyard to the front yard. I will be there shortly.”
“Yes.”
After hearing Jiang Peihuan orders, Deputy General Liu left immediately.
After Deputy General Liu left, Jiang Peihuan went straight to the Chrysanthemum Hall.
“Huan Er?”
The people inside also heard Deputy General Liu’s voice. Old Madam Jiang, Zhou Rongfang, and Liu Xiu all looked at Jiang Peihuan.
“Grandmother, later you, Second Aunt, and Third Aunt will bring Little Brother to the secret chamber.”
“Huan Er, how can we leave you alone to face this?”
Liu Xiu looked at Jiang Peihuan, her eyes bloodshot.
And Jiang Peihuan replied, “Third Aunt, there’s no time to consider that now.”
Then, she turned to Zhou Rongfang, “Second Aunt, my younger brother is the youngest of the Jiang family. No matter what, you must protect him. If something happens to the Jiang family, he is our hope.”
“Huan Huan?”
At this moment, Zhou Rongfang also couldn’t hold back her tears.
“Those from the second and third families, leave.”
“Mother?”
“Grandmother?”
