Reborn as the Crippled King's Beloved-Chapter 95 - : Big Brother’s Beloved Woman Is Returning to the Capital

Chapter 95: Chapter 95: Big Brother’s Beloved Woman Is Returning to the Capital

The arrival of the Second Prince was unexpected.

Jun Yuyan had already arranged for people to guard the lakeside, preventing anyone from disturbing them casually.

But the Second Prince, thick-skinned, pursued them in a small boat.

He hadn’t seen Murong Jiu for too long, and that out-of-control feeling often left him anxious, so upon learning that Murong Jiu had left the Prince Mansion, he immediately rushed over.

Not long ago, Murong Man and her cousin Yun Weiwei somehow met in private, after which the cousin fell ill again.

Murong Man insisted that Weiwei was faking it, but several court physicians confirmed that Weiwei was indeed ill.

...

Because of this, he was somewhat dissatisfied with Murong Man and felt even more pity for Weiwei.

Weiwei became weak and sickly because of him, and due to him, she had endured years of suffering from the illness.

Even though he liked Murong Man, seeing her as a delicate Flower Solving People, he was also displeased with her for slandering Yun Weiwei.

So today, the Second Prince came, firstly to test whether Murong Jiu still had any feelings for him, and secondly to inquire about Yun Weiwei’s illness.

Murong Jiu’s master had been staying indoors, like a turtle shrinking its head, hidden within the impregnable Prince Ling’s Mansion, making it impossible for him to abduct her.

He could only pin his hopes on Murong Jiu now.

But he also gradually realized that Murong Jiu, this woman, was too unpredictable; if he could control her, she would be a great asset, but if not, she might become an asset to his opponents.

Such a woman, he planned to eliminate her once his cousin’s health improved, to save himself from further discomfort.

If he couldn’t gain Murong Jiu’s support, he would ensure that Jun Yuyan couldn’t either.

So upon his arrival, he immediately accused Jun Yuyan of not taking good care of Murong Jiu, showing his concern for her.

“Second Brother, you seem to be overstepping, my Princess Consort doesn’t need your concern.”

Jun Yuyan said coldly.

Everyone present could feel the tension in the air.

It was apparent that Prince Ling’s mood had soured since the arrival of His Highness the Second Prince.

Fu Baozhu clenched her teeth, wondering if these two men were sick. Why were they fighting over an ugly freak?

Was the Prince’s brain filled with holes, or was it his eyes that had issues, to look at Murong Jiu, such an ugly woman, every day without feeling disgusted?

And they still didn’t know whose seed Murong Jiu was carrying in her stomach!

The Second Prince unflinchingly said, “Eldest Brother, I knew the Imperial Sister-in-Law from before, and we shared a close friendship. What harm is there in my concern for her? You surely can’t forbid the Imperial Sister-in-Law from interacting with her relatives and friends. I heard that recently, Ah Jiu’s father fell ill out of anger from Eldest Brother, isn’t that a bit unfilial?”

Murong Jiu replied unreservedly, “A close friend? Your Highness the Second Prince, I do not have such a close friend.”

The Second Prince smiled, “Imperial Sister-in-Law, stop kidding. We used to be so close, I treated you like my sister, and you always liked coming to me, didn’t you?”

Fu Heng and Fu Han both frowned, finding the Second Prince’s words to be a bit too much.

Murong Jiu was already Princess Consort Ling, and whatever connection she might have had with the Second Prince was before her marriage. There was no need to bring it up now in front of Prince Ling.

“Second Brother.”

“Prince,” Murong Jiu interrupted Jun Yuyan’s indignant voice, saying to him, “The Second Prince might have a problem with his brain, no need to be overly concerned with him.”

With that said, even a face as thick as the Second Prince’s stiffened on the spot, visibly turning unsightly.

He had intended to make Jun Yuyan uncomfortable, hoping for Jun Yuyan and Murong Jiu to quickly become alienated. Yet, it was Murong Jiu who made him uncomfortable.

To say, in front of so many people, that he had a problem with his brain.

Well done, Murong Jiu, you really did well.

Seeing the situation, the Fifth Princess hastily said, “The Second Imperial Brother just had a bit of wine and might be somewhat muddled. Don’t be angry, everyone here is family, just joking around.”

Upon hearing this, the Second Prince again showed a smile, “That’s right, I was just making a joke. I didn’t expect my brother and sister-in-law to get angry. Alas, it’s my fault, my fault.”

Fu Baozhu also followed suit to smooth things over, “Exactly, exactly, today we’re out enjoying ourselves, let’s be happy. We will be arriving at Lake Heart Island shortly.”

She cursed Murong Jiu inwardly for being such a killjoy, making things so embarrassingly awkward.

Shamelessness renders one invincible. Watching the Second Prince behave like this, Murong Jiu slowly curled her lips into a cold smile.

She wore a veil, so others could not clearly discern her emotions.

She said, “His Highness takes it as a joke, yet it damages my reputation. I am now Princess Consort Ling, and if His Highness does this again in the future, I will be even less polite.”

“Sorry, sorry, Imperial Sister-in-Law, don’t be angry, it won’t happen again,” he said.

As he spoke, the boat docked at Lake Heart Island.

Jun Yuyan gave the Second Prince a fleeting glance and personally helped Murong Jiu off the boat and onto the island.

The Second Prince lingered at the back, his gaze venomous as he watched the two of them walk away.

Actually, he was simply testing.

Testing to see what Murong Jiu was really thinking, whether or not she still had feelings for him.

It seemed that Murong Jiu had moved on to a new love.

Little did he know, wasn’t Jun Yuyan also using her? Otherwise, why would he acknowledge the unborn bastard as his own?

Such a foolish and gullible woman, exactly the same as before.

Today, he would reveal the truth in front of Murong Jiu.

Not long after they had arrived on the island, the Fifth Princess used the excuse of spraining her ankle and insisted that the Eldest Imperial Brother take her somewhere to sit.

Jun Yuyan glanced at Murong Jiu and, seeing her nod in assent, understood that she was giving the Second Prince an opportunity to converse with her, so he left first with the Fifth Princess.

“Imperial Sister-in-Law, you are with child, please be careful and walk slowly,” said the Second Prince, intentionally lagging behind and walking alongside Murong Jiu.

Fu Heng and Fu Han, the two brothers, were about to slow down when suddenly, ahead of them, Fu Baozhu screamed, saying there was a snake, and the two hastily ran to the front.

“Imperial Sister-in-Law, I have a few words to speak with you. Please send your maid away for the moment,” said the Second Prince, looking at Murong Jiu.

Chun Tao quickly looked to her mistress, hoping she would not agree.

Murong Jiu said, “Chun Tao, the three of you go on ahead.”

The Second Prince’s lips curved into a smile as he thought to himself that Murong Jiu indeed became truthful when they were alone, his presence not entirely absent from her heart.

“What would His Highness like to talk about?” asked Murong Jiu.

“I just wanted to know how you’ve been recently, carrying a child must be quite hard. You have always been in the Prince Mansion, and I found no opportunity to see you, so today I shamelessly came,” said the Second Prince tenderly.

“If you truly wished me well, why did you tarnish my reputation in front of so many people on the boat?” she asked.

“I just care about you too much, Jiujiu,” he said, his voice full of emotion, “Seeing you and big brother so close together, it drives me mad with jealousy. The person who should be by your side is me. If only that accidental marriage replacement hadn’t forced us apart.”

His tone was earnest, and his eyes brimmed with love.

Love can be feigned, and in her past life, she had been deceived by such illusions. Murong Jiu sneered in her heart, but her eyes feigned surprise and emotion.

“I misunderstood you,” she said.

The Second Prince smiled, pressing on, “Actually, there’s another thing I need to tell you. Big brother’s beloved woman is about to return to the capital.”

Murong Jiu immediately lifted her head in surprise.
