Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage - Chapter 578

Chapter 578: Chapter 578: Going to Xiaoman

At this moment, Jiang Ning’s expression and tone were like that of a matchmaker waiting to make a fortune.

Mu Jian said, “Thank you for your concern, Princess Consort. I haven’t married or had children yet.”

“Really?” Jiang Ning, who already knew, feigned surprise, “General Mu is so young and gifted, how could he still be unmarried? Are all the adults in Chang’an City blind?”

Mu Jian didn’t expect this beautiful and lazy-looking Princess Consort to be so interested in his marital affairs.

He could only say, “Thank you for your concern. I’m still young, so there’s no hurry for marriage.”

“General Mu says that, so do you have someone in mind?” Jiang Ning asked with a gossiping face.

“…No.”

“Then it must be because General Mu is too proud and looks down on ordinary women,” Jiang Ning said, “However, with General Mu’s talent and appearance, there must be many young girls who admire him.”

Mu Jian said softly, “I don’t know.”

Jiang Ning secretly rolled her eyes.

Keep pretending!

Pretentious prick, watch out for lightning!

Jiang Ning looked up at the sky.

Unfortunately, there was no thunder in the snowy weather.

Along the way, she deliberately tried to strike up conversations with Mu Jian, but he always maintained a respectful and composed attitude, never exposing himself.

Jiang Ning gained nothing.

She could only see that Mu Jian was a deep and introverted person.

The convoy slowly stopped at Jiang Family’s entrance.

Jiang Mubai and Jiang Ruobai, the two brothers, led their sons and nephews to welcome them at the entrance, having received the news early on.

Madam Jiang, the second Madam Jiang, and the girls were standing inside the gate.

As the Princess Consort, Jiang Ning was entitled to be greeted by even her parents and uncles with proper etiquette as per the state rules.

Jiang Ning got off the carriage and went forward to pay her respects to her parents, uncle, and aunt.

She performed a state salute first, followed by a family salute to them.

Jiang Ruobai glanced behind her, “Just you?”

Jiang Ning looks back and realizes, “Oh, Li Hongyuan is busy and can’t make it.”

“…Your father doesn’t care about whether the Crown Prince could come or not.”

Jiang Mubai laughed, “Has this child become dull-witted from staying in the East Palace? Your father is talking about the two children.”

Jiang Ning smiled, “Once a grandfather, you only have eyes for the children and not your daughter. Are you not happy with just your daughter coming today?”

Before Jiang Ruobai could speak, Lin Zizi stepped forward and took her hand, saying, “Don’t mind your father, as long as you come, your mother is happy. Whether others can come or not doesn’t matter.”

Jiang Ning hugged her, “It’s always my mother who loves her daughter the most.”

“So big and still acting spoiled.” Jiang Ruobai shook his head, “You are a mother too, yet you can still bear to leave your children in the palace and come back.”

Jiang Ning laughed, “Do you want me to bring both children back? Are you hoping I won’t return?”

Jiang Ruobai fell silent for a moment before saying, “Isn’t it good to stay at home? Going back is no different from being in jail.”

“His Majesty and the Crown Prince won’t let me stay at home.”

“Your father says it’s okay, so it’s okay.”

“Father, remember that you said this.”

“You didn’t bring the children back.”

“Who said I didn’t?” Jiang Ning grinned and clapped her hands, “Come on, Xiaoman.”

Xiaoman came forward with a child in each hand, smiling happily.

The two children, dressed like snowballs and holding them in their hands, sat on Xiaoman’s arm, seemingly amused and smiling brightly.

Seeing this, everyone in the Jiang Family couldn’t help but be delighted.

Even Lin Zizi, who only had eyes and heart for her daughter, couldn’t help but reach out to take Lingzi over, kissing her little cheek,
