Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage - Chapter 473: Bitten by a Dog

Chapter 473: Chapter 473: Bitten by a Dog

“Go home and study? Do you really want to live a useless life?” Jiang Qi glared at his brother and dragged him away.

Jiang Ning brought Ms. Ma back to the palace, heading straight to the Prosperity Palace.

The palace attendants at Prosperity Palace looked nervous when they saw her.

But they didn’t dare to stop her.

She even dared to beat their master, Concubine Xian, let alone them, the servants?

Ever since they beat Concubine Xian, the vicious reputation of the Crown Princess had spread.

“Where is Concubine Xian?” Jiang Ning asked.

“Your Highness Concubine Xian is resting in her room,” the palace attendant replied cautiously, “Would you like to wait until she wakes up before coming back?”

“His Majesty has ordered me to come and apologize to Concubine Xian. How can I wait? How about you report this to His Majesty and see if he can wait?”

“No, no, I dare not,” the palace attendant said with a bitter smile, “I’ll go in and announce your arrival.”

“No need.”

Jiang Ning strode straight in.

Despite not having any attendants with her, not a single person dared to stop her.

Ms. Ma followed behind, looking at her so domineering and didn’t know whether to feel angry or envious.

Both of them had been a crown princess, so why was there such a huge gap?

Back when she was the Crown Princess, Ms. Ma was cautious everywhere, trying to show a virtuous and gentle side to be worthy of the future Empress’s position.

Not to mention high-ranking concubines like Concubine Xian, she wouldn’t even show her displeasure publicly to the newly entered palace maids and young ladies.

Why was Jiang Ning so unrestrained?

Ms. Ma couldn’t figure it out.

With her head down, she followed Jiang Ning into Concubine Xian’s room.

Concubine Xian was indeed sleeping.

Most women in the harem had the habit of napping.

It wasn’t that this habit was particularly good, but mainly because they had nothing to do.

Apart from eating and sleeping, these women had no other business, which led to a lot of intrigues and scheming.

Ms. Ma looked at Concubine Xian with some disgust.

Jiang Ning sat down at a table and knocked on it casually, “Wake up!”

Concubine Xian was startled awake and saw her seemingly smiling face, her heart skipping. She sat up abruptly, “How did you get in here?”

“Don’t panic, Your Highness Concubine Xian, I walked in,” Jiang Ning said as she poured herself a cup of tea and started sipping slowly, “His Majesty wants me to apologize to you. You know about this, right?”

Concubine Xian calmed down slowly and glanced at Ms. Ma standing near the door.

Since she lost an ear, Ms. Ma had been wearing a veil that only showed her eyes and nose.

But Concubine Xian still recognized her.

“What are you doing here again?” Concubine Xian frowned.

“Didn’t Your Highness Concubine Xian want to be sure if your son and his wife are doing well?” Jiang Ning smiled, “I specially made a trip to the Prince of Huai’s mansion. Originally, I planned to bring the Prince of Huai here, but you know his condition. It’s quite inconvenient, so I had to bring the Princess Consort of Huai.”

Of course, Concubine Xian didn’t believe that she would be so kind, but she still asked out of concern for her son, “Is the Prince of Huai alright?”

Ms. Ma replied indifferently, “I can’t say if he is well or not.”

Her hands were hanging down, wrapped with a white cloth. Her skirt was also torn.

Concubine Xian frowned when she saw her, “What happened to you? What happened to your hand?”

Ms. Ma looked at Jiang Ning.

Concubine Xian also looked at Jiang Ning, “Did you do this?” FiNd 𝒖pd𝒂tes on n(𝒐)/v𝒆l𝒃𝒊n(.)c𝒐m

“It’s a misunderstanding! Of course not me. It was our dog,” Jiang Ning said with a guilty expression, “Our dog is so disobedient. It just killed someone a few days ago, and now it’s bitten someone again.”

“Why keep a dog that bites people? Why not kill it?”
