Translator: 549690339

Ever since that incident, despite Jiang Ning never requesting it, Huang Ying still arranged for a maid to keep vigil on a small bed outside every day.

Today, it was Xiachu’s turn.

Among several maids, Xiachu was lively and had a shallow sleep. She would wake up at any slight movement.

Huang Ying felt most at ease having her on duty.

After lying down, Jiang Ning turned off the lights, closed her eyes, and quickly fell asleep.

She did not know when, but she suddenly woke up.

She opened her eyes and found it was still very dark outside.

The day had not yet broken, and all was quiet.

She closed her eyes again, wanting to sleep a bit more, but for some reason, she couldn’t fall asleep and felt a sense of uneasiness.

She called out for Xiachu.

Xiachu responded groggily, her voice heavy with sleep.

Jiang Ning then put on a jacket, reached for her cane by the bed, and limped out of the room.

She looked over towards the room where her children were sleeping and noticed a faint light there.

Jiang Ning’s eyebrows wrinkled.

She had already told the wet nurse not to leave the light on at night as it wasn’t good for the children.

Why didn’t she listen?

Jiang Ning was a bit angry, and supported herself with her cane to walk over, pushed the door open, but was met with a scene that horrified her.

She saw a towering figure sitting in front of her children’s small bed.

“You – ” Before she could scream, the man turned his head and in the faint light, revealed an exceptionally handsome face.

It was Li Hongyuan.

Jiang Ning was even more shocked, “You, why are you here?”

It seemed that Li Hongyuan hadn’t expected her to suddenly appear.

After the initial surprise, he quickly calmed down, stood up, and said, “Did you honestly think that the guards of the Hall of Virtue could stop me?”

“I don’t care if they can stop you or not, I want to know why you’re here!”

“I was thinking of Wenzan and Lingzi.”

“Even so, you can’t just sneak in here like a thief in the middle of the night! Are you a thief?” Jiang Ning seemed on the verge of collapsing.

Why does this man persistently haunt her?

Seeing her in such a state, Li Hongyuan appeared even more relaxed, “I am under arrest. Do you think I can freely stroll out in broad daylight? As a mother, don’t you understand the feeling of missing one’s children?” “Sneaking out isn’t defying the Emperor’s orders?”

“You said it yourself, I ‘sneaked out’. Naturally, the Emperor Father doesn’t know.”

“You—” Jiang Ning leaned against the door frame, raising her cane, “Get back to your prison cell quickly, don’t implicate me and the children!”

“Implicate you?” Li Hongyuan laughed, “Originally, I just wanted to take a glance at the children and leave. But now that you’re here, it’s convenient for us to settle some accounts.”

“What account can I possibly have to settle with you.”

“Oh, why don’t you tell me how you used Wenren Zong to harm your children’s father.”

Li Hongyuan walked up to her, reaching out his hand—

Jiang Ning quickly stepped aside, “Don’t touch me!”

Li Hongyuan gave her a look, and closed the door.

Jiang Ning:”…”

“You’re overthinking things.” Li Hongyuan walked back to the bed, “Come over and talk.”

Jiang Ning looked at the small bed, the twin boy and girl were fast asleep, showing no signs of waking up.

As for the wet nurse and maids who were attending them, they were all lying in the corner of the room.

Jiang Ning raised her hand, “They—”

“They’re fine, just temporarily unconscious.”

“You didn’t do the same to Wenzan and the others…”

“Do you really think I’m mad enough to drug my own flesh and blood?” Li Hongyuan coldly interrupted her, “Do you think I’m cruel enough to harm my own children? Besides, they’re so small, even if they hear what we’re saying, it doesn’t matter..”
