Xu Yanzhu was now extremely regretful. Two days ago, when she had noticed that her moon had been delayed, she had only suspected it in her heart for a moment.

After all, she had been in a bad mood before, and this time, the monthly delay took much longer than before.

Even so, she didn't think too much about it. She didn't think that her two chances with Brother Yan that night would result in her getting pregnant.

It was only until this morning when she woke up and felt dizzy and nauseous from the discomfort that she had. Only then did she recall the reaction Third Aunt had when she was first pregnant with Yuanxi and she had a definite guess about her body.

Only, she never thought that Jiang Han would take the initiative to come to her place.

However, now was not the time to think about such things.

She knew that if she wanted to leave the Jiang Family without a hitch and if she didn't want to ruin the reputation of her daughter, Jiang Han had to go easy on her.

But thinking about Jiang Han's personality in the past, Xu Yanzhu started to hesitate again.

Jiang Han must have realized why Xu Yanzhu was hesitating, so she was not afraid in the slightest even when Hua Yu and Hua Ci glared at him viciously.

"What is it? Was he thinking about how to leave the Jiang Family? And you're worried that you will ruin the reputation of the Xu Family ladies? " Jiang Han looked at Xu Yanzhu. Although she was obviously smiling, she couldn't ignore the words that she had to say.

Seeing Xu Yanzhu staring at him, Jiang Han's mood suddenly became better.

"Until now, Third Uncle, who loves you the most out of all of Xu Family, has only one daughter. "Although your cousin is younger than you by more than ten years, if I were to tell you about what happened today, even if she was younger than you by more than ten years, she would still be implicated by you." After saying that, Jiang Han ignored Xu Yanzhu's ugly expression and laughed out loud.

Seeing that Xu Yanzhu did not say anything, he continued: "Also, your uncle's family's cousin is already old enough to talk about marriage. If this matter were to get out by this time, even if she had a princess, she would not be able to find a good marriage. And your aunt, she is also a female with Xu Family. " The more she spoke, the more pleased Jiang Han was with himself.

Seeing Jiang Han being so proud, Xu Yanzhu suddenly became angry and choked: "What are you so proud of? If the world were to know that I am pregnant with someone else's child, will your face be lit up? Your Jiang Family makes you proud? "

Just as Xu Yanzhu finished speaking without caring about anything else, Jiang Han, who was standing opposite of her, was obviously stunned for a moment.

In a split-second, Jiang Han regained his senses, looking at Xu Yanzhu as if he was looking at a dead man.

"Xu Yanzhu, you really think that I won't attack you, aren't you? My Jiang Family organized a funeral last month, so I don't mind doing it again this month. "

Hearing Jiang Han calling him 'Xu Yanzhu' right from the start, Xu Yanzhu naturally understood that Jiang Han was very angry now.

"What's the use?" Looking at Jiang Han, Xu Yanzhu laughed blandly, and then continued to speak: "I begged you just now, but you were not willing to let me go either? If that's the case, then why should I be afraid of you? "

Finishing speaking, Xu Yanzhu paused for a moment, gently closed his eyes, and once again opened them to look at Jiang Han: "Moreover, do you dare to kill me? Xu Family is not a house that wants to borrow your connections to expand its business. If I suddenly die in Jiang Family … " After saying this, Xu Yanzhu did not continue any further, and only sneered at Jiang Han.

Xu Yanzhu believed in her Third Aunt. If she was really killed by Jiang Han today, then her Third Aunt would definitely take revenge for him.

There was also his grandmother, who had doted on him for so many years. Even though his grandmother was old now, she still had a few connections.

No matter how big the business with Jiang Family was, it was just a business after all!

Other than Jiang Family, there were naturally a large number of merchants that owned different businesses that owned different kinds of Jiang Family.

Xu Yanzhu had thought about it very clearly. As long as there were enough benefits, the people who had a good relationship with the Jiang Family before would be the first people to divide up the Jiang Family industry!

How could Jiang Han not think of something that even Xu Yanzhu could think of?

Seeing that although Jiang Han still had a cold expression, traces of hesitation appeared in his eyes, Xu Yanzhu immediately spoke up: "Jiang Han, think about it, even if I am not your wife, I am still your cousin. If you really let me go today, we'll settle this matter peacefully. In the future, you can be considered to have more connections. "

Xu Yanzhu did not want to reveal his identity. After all, his identity on the surface right now was already that of a 'dead person'.

Although he was a descendant of the royal family, the current Emperor's grandson, and a grandmother that sat in the middle of the palace, Xu Yanzhu still didn't want to tell others about him.

However, even though he could not reveal his identity today, it did not affect the fact that Xu Yanzhu was using his name to scare people.

"Cousin, think about it. If he could arrange two female servants to protect me, how could he not have other abilities?" Xu Yanzhu called out to her' cousin ', which finally brought Jiang Han back to reality.

"If I really let you go today, then wouldn't my reputation of being the bandit wife be brought up again?"

Hearing Jiang Han's words, Xu Yanzhu knew that he was moved.

Xu Yanzhu thought about it and also understood. Although Jiang Han still wasn't clear as to who the man behind her was, she was after all, a Xu Family woman.

Currently, in the imperial court, there were rumors that His Majesty regarded the Fifth Prince as important enough to pass his words on to him.

If the Fifth Prince really ascended the throne to become emperor, then the Xu Family would become a new clan. With this kind of marriage with relatives, it would definitely be very helpful to the business of the Jiang Family in the future.

But if Jiang Han really ignored and killed Xu Yanzhu today, in the future, let alone being promoted by the Xu Family, based on the relationship between Xu Yanzhu and Dong Shu, even taking revenge would be considered light.

After he thought about this, Jiang Han closed his eyes and suppressed the violence in his eyes. He then looked at Xu Yanzhu and said, "Since you are my cousin, I will give you a chance. Before going out for the Hundred Days of filial piety, ask him to come see me. I want to talk to him personally. " After he finished speaking, Jiang Han paused for a moment before continuing, "If his conditions are satisfactory to me, then I will use the excuse that you were forcefully determined for me by that old lady from the beginning to reconcile with you and set you free."

After saying that, Jiang Han looked at Xu Yanzhu deeply, and then left the room without looking back.

Just as Jiang Han left, Xu Yanzhu's legs became weak and she almost fell to the ground.

If it wasn't for Flower Speaker and Flower Words quickly supporting her, she might have lost the child in her womb.

After Hua Yu and Hua Ci helped Xu Yanzhu to sit back on the bed and leaned against him, she looked at the two of them and asked: "Where is Cui Hua?" Xu Yanzhu understood after thinking about it, with Cui Hua's loyalty to the Xu Family, it was impossible for her to not care about him.

After hearing Xu Yanzhu's question, Hua Yu and Hua Ci looked at each other, and then said, "When the three of us went out just now, Cui Hua hinted that she wanted to report back using her Xu Family." After speaking, Flower Speaker paused for a moment before continuing, "We thought that you and Third Madame would be very close, so we let her be."

After Xu Yanzhu heard that Cui Hua had gone to the Xu Family to report to him, she let out a light sigh and said, "You all heard what Jiang Han said just now. No matter what, we must let him know. " After saying that, Xu Yanzhu closed her eyes and did not speak anymore.

She had to think carefully about how she would explain her relationship with Brother Yan if someone really came to her with Xu Family.

Brother Yan's identity could definitely not be revealed casually, but if he did not reveal it, would the Third Aunt still help him?

Xu Yanzhu had never been as powerless as she was today. She felt that as a Xu Family girl, her birth wasn't low, although she wasn't willing to marry into the Jiang Family, over this past year, especially after Grandmother and Third Uncle had returned to the capital, her life had become better and better.

But he had never thought that he would still get into trouble due to the Xu Family.

Lying on the bed, Xu Yanzhu's pillow was soon wet. Previously, she was too willful and did not think of a foolproof plan, which was why she was under her control right now.

The more he thought about it, the more miserable Xu Yanzhu's heart felt.

It was unknown if it was because of the pregnancy, but Xu Yanzhu felt like she had entered a dead end, and couldn't get out no matter what.

Although they couldn't see Xu Yanzhu's face, but the two of them had practiced martial arts for many years, so how could they not notice her strangeness?

However, the two of them had only been at Xu Yanzhu's side for more than a month, how could they possibly console her like Cui Hua had earlier?

At the same time, Cui Hua had just used silver and successfully ran out of the Jiang Family to return back to the Xu Family.

Right now, Cui Hua was glad that only the few of them knew about the matter between her First Miss and Jiang Han. Otherwise, no matter how much silver she had, she wouldn't be able to run out of the Jiang Family.

Since she still did not know about the current situation of the Jiang Family, Cui Hua did not disturb the majority of the Xu Family. Instead, she went to the side door of the Shihuan Courtyard and called for them.

When the servant who was guarding the side door of the Shihuan Courtyard heard Cui Hua's voice, she immediately opened the door.

Initially, he had thought that Cui Hua would come back and chat with her, but who knew that when the door opened, Cui Hua asked anxiously: "Is Madam in the courtyard?"

"Yes, yes." The servant subconsciously replied as Cui Hua, who was just standing at the door, quickly walked towards the inner courtyard of Shihuan Courtyard.

After all, this servant woman had been reassigned. She had taught him before, but once she saw Cui Hua's attitude, she immediately suspected that something had happened to the First Miss in Jiang Family.

Otherwise, why would she return so quickly?

Thinking about that, the servant immediately looked out, seeing that no one was chasing Cui Hua, she closed the door, as though Cui Hua had never come back.

At this time, Cui Hua had already run to the inner courtyard of Shihuan Courtyard.

In the inner courtyard, Dong Shu had just finished looking through the account books and was playing around with Yuanxi.

"Cui Hua, why did you come back?"

It had to be known that because of the filial piety of the Jiang Family, Cui Hua had not returned to the Xu Family for a long time.

When Cui Hua saw her, she wanted to say something, but then she remembered what Ling Xiang had revealed to her earlier when she came back.

Since she did not know who the father of the child in First Miss was, she could only look at Dong Shu with a stiff expression: "Madam, this servant has a few words that I want to say to you in private."

Dong Shu knew Cui Hua's personality. If it wasn't something major, she felt that she wouldn't say such a thing to him.

Only Dong Shu knew clearly in her heart that if she really wanted to hide it from Yue Yin and the others, it would not be very realistic.

However, she only pondered for a moment, then looked at Cui Hua and said: "Then, follow me in."

After saying that, Dong Shu looked at Mama Yan and said: "Mama Yan, can you accompany Yuanxi here for me?"

Mama Yan also knew about Yue Yin and the others. The reason Dong Shu told her this was because she wanted Mama Yan to give him face and not let Yue Yin and the others near him.

Mama Yan and Dong Shu had been together for a long time, and she knew that Dong Shu wasn't someone who couldn't understand. Furthermore, from the looks of it, it seemed like something had happened to the First Miss whose Xu Family allowed her to marry into the Jiang Family.

Thinking about the relationship between Xu Yanzhu and herself, Mama Yan nodded without hesitation.

After Dong Shu handed Yuanxi to Mama Yan, they then led Cui Hua and the two of them into the house.

In the ten or so steps that she took to walk from the courtyard to the house, Dong Shu had been thinking about what had happened for Cui Hua to come here in such a hurry.

"You're saying that Yanzhu is pregnant, but you don't know who the father of this child is?"
