Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage-Chapter 932 - : Saying One Thing but Meaning Another_1

Chapter 932: Chapter 932: Saying One Thing but Meaning Another_1

Jiang Yi had many friends whom she recognized.

Jiang Third Son, before his marriage, was known in Chang’an City as quite the rake. Most of the people he mingled with were the idle sons of distinguished families.

Apart from that, he also enjoyed befriending unique individuals, such as fortune tellers, map drawers, and creators of mechanical objects. As long as someone was skilled in their field, regardless of their social status, he was willing to befriend them genuinely.

Being the stand-in for the Emperor, it goes without saying that the royal family would often lavish him with gifts.

“This is really strange.” Jiang Yi stood in the center of the room, rubbing his chin, “Could it be that this old monk is really a serene and unambitious virtuous monk, without any flaws?”

“There might be saints in this world, but this old monk surely isn’t one.”

Jiang Ning casually picked up the pillow on the bed, stripped off the cotton pillowcase and tapped it, producing a pleasing and soft sound, “See what this is?”

Jiang Yi took it and gave it a look, surprised, “This pillow, it’s carved from a whole piece of high-quality mutton fat jade. Warm in winter and cool in summer, it’s said to be nourishing. It’s worth a fortune.”

“Even our house doesn’t have such a thing, right?”

“We have a mutton fat jade pillow, but not one carved from a whole piece.”

Jiang Ning laughed, “A so-called serene and unambitious virtuous monk who renounces the secular world, even his pillow is so luxurious. And he wraps it with a cotton cloth to hide it, what does that suggest?”

“It suggests that he’s hypocritical.”

“Correct.” Jiang Ning put down the pillow, “The Emperor’s stand-in, living a life of luxury, nobody complains about it. If you want to use it, use it openly. It shows that this old monk’s words and actions don’t match, he’s sanctimonious. Since he loves wealth and comfort, then…”

So, it wasn’t surprising that Jiang Third Son had extensive connections and that he could procure such an item.

But those friends were typically coarse, so why would they engrave their names on the gift they gave him?

No matter how one looks at it, it carried a hint of romantic ambiguity.

Jiang Ning glanced at her brother, “Is this friend of yours a woman perhaps?”

“Yes.”

“Jiang Third Son, your wife is about to give birth, don’t stir up trouble for me!”

“…Where is your mind wandering? I’m loyal to your third sister-in-law. I wouldn’t do anything to hurt her.”

“Quit it!” Jiang Ning said with contempt. “Before you were married, where do you think your reputation as a rake came from?”

“I just enjoyed listening to renowned musicians playing delightful music. The reputation of a womanizer was just rumors spread by others. You’re my own sister, how could you misunderstand me like others?”

“Don’t be like our father, keeping several concubines at home.”

“Absolutely not. I am committed only to your third sister-in-law. I’ve never even touched the maids in our house.” Jiang Yi swore with his hand raised. “Little lady, you mustn’t blabber. If this reaches your third sister-in-law’s ears, will I still be able to live?”

“I will believe you for now. If you mess around, I know a myriad of ways to deal with you.”

“Yes, yes, yes, with such a fiercely protective sister-in-law, your third sister-in-law is really fortunate, she lords over me every day. How would I dare do anything?”

“From now on, the men of the Jiang family are only allowed to have one wife. No concubines will be permitted.”

“That’s not impossible, but why don’t you manage the Crown Prince?”

“Hey, if I can’t control the Crown Prince, can’t I control you?”

“…That’s true.”

Jiang Yi honestly conceded.

“Let’s go and take a look inside the house.”

Jiang Ning casually stored the bamboo tube away.

Jiang Yi twitched his mouth corner and didn’t dare to ask for it back.

The siblings searched the old monk’s room.

The room was simply furnished with daily necessities. Although there were some valuable items, given his status, it wasn’t surprising.

While speaking, she casually kicked a meditation mat on the floor and suddenly felt something odd.
