Chapter 456 Miscarriage

At the Prince Zhong's residence, a young maidservant hurried into the room, curtsied, and said, "Reporting to Madam Jiang, this servant has inquired and found out that there is indeed an old woman in Pingkang Ward who is skilled at determining whether a pregnant woman's fetus is a boy or a girl. People who know her call her Granny Zhang."

"Is it confirmed? Is it credible?"

"Reporting to Madam Jiang, this servant personally witnessed a mother and daughter-in-law carrying a child to his home to express their gratitude. They said that it was fortunate that he had taken the pregnancy-changing pill early on, otherwise they were afraid that he would have given birth to another girl."

Jiang Ning's expression was displeased, and the maid's heart skipped a beat: "Reporting to Madam Jiang, I was just repeating what that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were saying."

Jiang Ning gave birth to a daughter last year, and now she is pregnant again. It is unknown whether she will be able to give birth to a son for the prince.

"Did you see it with your own eyes?"

"Yes, besides me, many neighbors also saw it. I even went closer to see the child in the woman's arms. He was chubby and fair-skinned, and I was certain it was a young boy."

Jiang Ning nodded: "Well done, you can go now."

"Yes, the slaves retire."

Jiang Ning is actually a little hesitant now.

Strictly speaking, the current King Zhong has no shortage of sons.

But she was different; without a son, her position in the Prince Zhong's mansion would always be unstable.

Take Sun Qian's suicide as an example. If she had a son to rely on, the prince's attitude towards her wouldn't have changed so quickly.

Jiang Ning's edges have now been worn down by reality.

When she was first reborn, she was full of confidence and thought about supporting Prince Zhong to ascend the throne. She believed that as long as the Jiang family supported her, the world would eventually belong to Prince Zhong, and then she could humiliate Prince An.

But she didn't expect that although she was indeed supporting the Prince of Zhong, she was only a minor concubine, not even half as glorious as she had been in her previous life!

You should know that in her previous life, she was the glamorous Princess An.

If she had known it would turn out this way, she wouldn't have chosen to support Prince Zhong. She should have married Prince An as she did in her previous life, and then made good use of her power and status to benefit the Jiang family first. That way, when Prince An ascended the throne, he wouldn't dare to harm the Jiang family.

Unfortunately, the realization came too late.

Having been reborn, it seems that only her life is getting worse day by day, while Xu Zhaozhao lives more freely and noblely.

Why should that be?

Jiang Ning suddenly remembered that Xu Zhaozhao in her previous life didn't have that many capable people under her command, and she herself was neither a Midas touch nor a lucky star!

Why has everything changed in this life?

Suddenly, a dangerous and shocking thought popped into her head, startling her so much that she didn't come to her senses for a long time.

She can be reborn, so why can't Xu Zhaozhao?

Only the possibility of Xu Zhaozhao's rebirth can explain why she is richer and has a higher status in this life.

So, both she and Xu Zhaozhao were reborn, but Xu Zhaozhao's life got better and better, while hers got worse and worse?

This is so unfair!

At this moment, Jiang Ning wished he could kill Xu Zhaozhao on the spot. Why should she compete with him for the opportunity?

A few days later, a scream came from inside the Prince Zhong's mansion. Jiang Ning's clothes were stained with blood, and the maids and servants in the courtyard frantically tried to save themselves.

Who could have imagined that Madam Jiang would suddenly have an accident?

When Princess Zhao Yue arrived, several old women had already helped her into the house to lie down, and others had gone to fetch a doctor.

After asking several experienced nannies, Zhao Yue learned that Jiang Ning had miscarried.

Zhao Yue frowned: "Why hasn't anyone reported that Madam Jiang's letter hasn't arrived?"

"Your Highness, it's not that we didn't want to report it, but we simply didn't know!"

Zhao Yue was furious: "You lot serve Madam Jiang day and night, and you didn't even know she was pregnant?"

Soon, two servants who were standing next to Jiang Ning were brought out.

"Your Highness, these two have been serving you closely lately, and we servants haven't even been able to get into your room."

Zhao Yue was indeed very angry. If Jiang Ning was carrying a son, the Jiang family would definitely side with the Prince of Zhong.

Who could have imagined that it would end so early in the pregnancy?

When Jiang Ning woke up again and learned that she had miscarried, she was so anxious and angry that she fainted again.

Looking at Jiang Ning like this, Zhao Yue felt that she was really disappointing.

She had a winning hand, but she played it so badly that she couldn't even protect herself while pregnant. How did someone like that become a noble lady praised by everyone in the capital?

Just because of his looks, or a good family background?

Zhao Yue shook her head in disappointment and returned to her main courtyard. Upon learning that the prince had not yet returned, she had no choice but to put the matter aside for the time being.

"Go to the kitchen and give the order that Lady Jiang's diet must be taken care of for the next month. Anything that shouldn't be there must be absolutely forbidden. We must help Lady Jiang recover as soon as possible."

"Yes, princess."

Zhao Yue took a deep breath. Right now, the money in the Prince of Zhong's possessions was still enough, but she didn't expect Jiang Ning to miscarry at this critical juncture.

"Someone is coming,"

"Your Highness, this servant is here." The one who responded was Zhao Yue's most capable head maid.

"Go to the Jiang residence in person and explain to Madam Jiang that she has miscarried. Remember what the doctor said and convey it accordingly. Also, tell her that it was I who said that Madam Jiang is currently weak and anxious, and hopes that a member of the Jiang family can come and visit her."

"Yes, Your Highness, I will take care of it right away."

Zhao Yue rolled her eyes, thinking that this was a good opportunity to test the Jiang family's attitude towards Jiang Ning. If the Jiang family sent someone, then Jiang Ning would still be of some use.

If the Jiang family can ignore even this kind of thing, then Jiang Ning's existence really has little meaning.

The rumors about the Jiang family hadn't stopped, and then the Prince Zhong's Mansion sent them this message, which naturally made the Jiang family somewhat dissatisfied.

But after much thought, Jiang Ning was, after all, a married-out daughter of the Jiang family, and a lady of the house also had a rank; they couldn't really ignore her.

Therefore, Song, from the second wife's family, led a group of people and some tonics to visit the Prince Zhong's residence.

Jiang Ning looked utterly hopeless, muttering to herself, "Someone's trying to harm me! Someone's trying to harm me!"

Madam Song frowned. She had heard those words and could no longer pretend that nothing had happened.

"Please show me the way, I wish to pay my respects to the Princess."

"Please wait."

Zhao Yue naturally knew Song's purpose in coming, after all, Jiang Ning's rambling wasn't a new thing.

“I have sent people to investigate this matter, but Madam Jiang is not in a good state of mind. She only says that someone wants to harm her, but we can’t get any important information out of her. We have found out that a little maid who used to serve her has been running around for several days in a row, but I can’t ask her directly who she met or what she did. After all, she was sent by your Jiang family.”
