Chapter 57 He also had the same dream

Jiang Wu never thought that she would hear such words from Xie Ji. Although the person in front of her was him, he felt particularly unfamiliar to her.

Seeing that she was still standing in the room without moving, Xie Ji immediately frowned and shouted angrily, "Get out."

"From now on, no one is allowed to approach the study without my permission."

That anyone, obviously refers to her.

He didn't even give Jiang Wu a chance to explain before kicking him out.

Dark clouds gathered in the originally clear sky, and soon gathered into a ball, starting to drop raindrops, scattering all over the ground and filling the air with cold air.

"Madam, Prince Ji has sent an invitation, saying that he wants to see you." Tan Yun, holding a green bamboo umbrella, came back from outside with a serious expression and handed over an invitation with both hands.

Jiang Wu, who hadn't heard the name Ji Xiao for a long time, was dazed for a moment. He reached out and pressed his hand between his eyebrows. "Ask him to meet at Taibai Tower."

She thought that after breaking the appointment that day, he would come to her the next day to hold her accountable, instead of dragging it out for so long.

Ji Xiao, who had been seriously ill since waking up that day, has been haunted by nightmares recently. He wanted to convince himself that it was just a dream and that he would never do those things to Jiang Wanwan because he was not a beast.

But the closer the dream got to the end, the more frightened he became, because the him in the dream and the him in reality were almost merging into one.

Ask yourself, if Jiang Wu treated him with disdain just like in the dream, and was tired of contacting him or even avoided him, would he really go to the same extreme as in the dream after being rejected so many times?

He didn't even dare to think about this possibility.

Jiang Wu didn't expect that after not seeing him for a while, he could hardly recognize that the person in front of him was Ji Xiao.

He was so thin that even his clothes couldn't hold on to him, just like a dried eggplant. His lips were black and blue, and his face was so thin as if he had just suffered a serious illness.

"I thought you didn't want to see me." Ji Xiao stared at her blankly, his throat feeling like something was stuck. It seemed like he couldn't see enough. He wanted to confirm that she was right in front of him, not just a cold corpse in the dilapidated temple.

"No, why wouldn't I want to see you?" Jiang Wu thought that he came to her to blame her for breaking the appointment that night, but the current situation was obviously not the case.

Although it is not clear what his current situation is, it is always better to be cautious.

The more she acted like this, the more Ji Xiao felt like a bastard. In the end, he couldn't control himself and hugged her tightly, with such force that it seemed as if he wanted to rub her into his flesh and blood.

"Wanwan, that's great. I'm so glad you're okay."

"Do you know, I'm really scared. I'm afraid that I will never see you again. What should I do?" His voice was mixed with regretful tears. Jiang Wu could even feel a warm liquid sliding down his neck into his clothes.

What is he regretting and why is he crying?

"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Jiang Wu, who was suddenly hugged, did not push him away, but just thought that he was stimulated.

"Prince, can you tell me what happened?"

"Don't call me Prince, call me Zexiu." The man's voice was muffled and full of hoarse pleading.

A gentleman uses kindness to cultivate himself and establish virtue.

"Ze Xiu, can you let me go first and tell me what happened?" Jiang Wu felt that she would suffocate if she let him continue to hug her.

Ji Xiao, with red eyes, wanted to let her go, but he was afraid that once he let go, she would disappear from his sight, and when he saw her again, it would be her frozen body in the dilapidated temple.

The boy nuzzled her neck, relying on her like a puppy. "Wanwan, I'm sorry."

Jiang Wu's eyebrows twitched fiercely, and she suppressed the urge to push him away. "I don't even know what you did, why are you saying sorry to me? Even if you say sorry to me, you should tell me what you did first."

Her words made Ji Xiao choke, and he didn't know where to say it.

I can't say that I had a dream that I caused her to freeze to death in a dilapidated temple.

After struggling for a while, Ji Xiao closed his eyes and exhaled a breath of foul air and decided to tell the whole dream, and told himself that it was just a dream.

He won't let her end up like in her dream.

After Ji Xiao finished speaking with a heavy face full of shame and self-blame, Jiang Wu fell into a long silence.

Because the dream he described was exactly the same as the one she had, the only difference was their perspectives.

Jiang Wu was able to deny it completely and comforted him that it was just a nightmare.

But why should she help the other party cover up?

Jiang Wu pushed Ji Xiao away with a cold face. The fox eyes that always looked at him with love and infatuation were now filled with only a bone-chilling coldness. "What if I say that it wasn't a dream?"

"It's not a dream, how could it not be a dream." Ji Xiao's pupils dilated as if he was struck by lightning. He opened his mouth in confusion, as if he couldn't digest the truth at all.

"Do you know why I agreed to meet you?" Jiang Wu put his left hand on his right arm and smiled a sad smile, which was more of a determination that never backed down. "Because I have something I want to tell you today."

Ji Xiao's intuition told him that what she said was definitely not what he wanted to hear, and it would be best for her to stop quickly, but his throat seemed to have lost its voice.

"After today, the prince and I don't have to meet again. If we meet, we can just be strangers." She also wanted to recite a few lines of poems like "I heard you have two minds" in a literary way, but it was too difficult to memorize so she gave up.

Ji Xiao raised his voice in disbelief, his fingertips slightly curled, his fists clenched, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at her, "What do you mean by this? Are you going to break up with me?"

Who allowed her to break up with him, and who allowed them to be strangers in the future!

Jiang Wu faced his anger without dodging or avoiding it, his eyes filled with sarcasm. "May I ask, Prince, after you had the same dream as me and witnessed your own death, can you really pretend that nothing happened?"

"Why would I choose to throw myself into the flames when I knew exactly what the outcome would be? Even this dream might be a warning from God."

"It was just a dream, don't take it seriously, and I will never let you end up like in the dream." His explanation sounded so dry and guilty.

"You said it was just a dream, but I don't think it was just a dream." Jiang Wu gritted his teeth and said word by word, "After I had that dream, I often wondered if I rejected the prince as I did in the dream, would he really treat me the same way as in the dream."

"After all, everything that happened in the dream was too real, so real that I couldn't help but wonder if it wasn't a dream at all, but a warning from God, or perhaps..." Jiang Wu paused deliberately, his eyes red with fear, "This dream is actually from my previous life, otherwise how can we explain why we had this dream?"

After she said "previous life", Ji Xiao's jaw tightened and his head buzzed.

Because he didn't think about it in any weird or supernatural way. If it wasn't weird or supernatural, how could he explain the dream?

When he was silent, Jiang Wu did not wait for his rebuttal and began to press him step by step, "Prince, do you know that sometimes you are really disgusting and selfish?"

"You tell me all this, are you hoping that I will forgive what you did to me in your previous life because of your confession, or do you want me to repeat the ending of my previous life?" No matter what the dream was, Jiang Wu insisted that he had wronged her in her previous life, so that she could stand on the moral high ground.

"I didn't, and I never thought about it that way." Ji Xiao was so ashamed that he didn't know how to refute her question, and he didn't dare to meet her eyes.

His throat rolled up and down, and all the guilt and apology in his heart finally turned into three words: "I'm sorry."

"If apologizing is useful, what's the point of having a government office!" Jiang Wu raised his head and forced back the tears in the corners of his eyes so that he wouldn't look too embarrassed.

Without giving him a response, she turned and walked out the door, "Don't come to see me again in the future. If we meet, we will just be strangers. Because I can't possibly forgive someone who killed me, even if I once loved him so deeply."

Jiang Wu left Taibai Tower in one go, and after running back to the carriage, she patted her chest and took a deep breath. She had just said such a long speech, which was really embarrassing for her.

Fortunately, Ji Xiao’s brain was obviously not enough, but how could he have had the same dream as himself?

She didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing. All she could do now was to take advantage of his guilt.

After Jiang Wu went for a walk outside and returned home, he learned that there were guests at home.

The guest was still Shen Tingxue, whom she was very familiar with.

Didn’t she just move back to the Princess’ Mansion not long ago? No, should it be called the Imperial Master’s Mansion now?

Yu Shu, who hadn't come out with us today, also had a grim expression on her face. "Madam, I heard that it was the Master who personally brought the princess back and clarified to the public that the princess had not plagiarized at all. He said that the person who compiled the poetry collection was simply jealous of the princess's talent and stole her poems to gain fame."

At the end, he even defended the injustice, "Your Excellency has always been respectful of propriety and self-discipline, and has always distinguished right from wrong. When did you become such a person who can't tell right from wrong?"

Yu Shu's words reminded Jiang Wu of his abnormal behavior today. She reached out and pressed her brows, "My husband must have his own reasons for doing that."

When Jiang Wu came to the main hall, he saw the two of them sitting very close to each other, talking intimately as if no one else was around.

This scene suddenly corresponded to certain scenes in the dream, but he then shook his head to dispel them.

When she came over after washing her hands, Shen Tingxue was about to stand up and give up her seat. Xie Ji first raised his head, then looked at Jiang Wu who was standing aside and preparing to sit down. His originally gentle eyes flashed with surprise and said, "You can just sit over there."

The seat he mentioned was right below Shen Tingxue, a guest seat, but Shen Tingxue was sitting in the wife seat.

Shen Tingxue, who was about to stand up, was surprised and happy and sat back down, her cheeks flushed with shyness, "Master, this is not in accordance with etiquette."

"You're already sitting down, so why would I ask you to move? There are so many seats anyway, it doesn't matter where you sit."

Since he had already spoken, Jiang Wu naturally followed his words and said, "Yes, my husband is right. There are so many empty seats anyway, it doesn't matter where I sit."

But is it really just a position that is given up?

Jiang Wu felt the meal tasted like wax, and what made her even more irritated was the occasional laughter from her husband and Shen Tingxue.

You know, in the past, her husband would never talk during meals, unless she took the initiative to speak, and he would mostly answer her questions. Now, he broke his own rule.

Secondly, there was tonight's meal. She was never picky about food, but she disliked turnips, and they were not allowed in the kitchen. But tonight, every dish was sprinkled with turnips or stir-fried with them.

After taking a few bites, Jiang Wu couldn't force herself to eat anymore, so she put down her jade pendant and said, "I'm done, you guys take your time."

Shen Tingxue raised her head, her peach blossom eyes full of worry, "Why did Master's wife only eat so little? Is the food not to your liking?"

"I ate outside before, so I'm not very hungry."

"No wonder, I saw Master's wife and Prince Ji coming out of the restaurant together earlier." Shen Tingxue's tone that suggested she was having an affair with someone else made Jiang Wu unhappy. She was about to open her mouth to refute when she heard her say again.

"I'm not saying anything bad about Master's wife, but she's a married woman after all. She's supposed to be at home taking care of her husband and children. How could she be so out in public meeting with a man outside her family? If someone with ulterior motives gets around to it, it's bound to lead to misunderstandings."

"Master Ji and I just happened to meet. There were maids and old women around us when we met. Why did the princess say that there was a shameful relationship between the two of us?" Jiang Wu glanced at Shen Tingxue, who spoke righteously but actually kept slandering her.

I couldn't help but think of what my husband said before. Now it is another person living in Changle's body.

If Changle were still alive, I wonder how sad she would be seeing someone using her body to do such shameful things.

"Some things should just be listened to by Master's wife. Why did you deceive yourself into it?"

Xie Ji, with a cold expression on his face, put down the jade pendant in his hand and said, "That's enough. Changle is right. Don't forget your current identity."

"From now on, you are not allowed to go out and show your face in public without my permission."

Title: Man Niang

Copywriting: Qi Changyan was the eldest son of the Qi family, a man of high talent and noble character since his youth. He was also the next head of the Taiyuan Qi family, whom the Qi family had high hopes for.

After he became an adult, he lived up to his family's expectations and became the youngest prime minister since the founding of Daye. When the previous emperor passed away and the surrounding princes were eyeing him covetously, he turned the tide and supported the young prince to ascend the throne. He taught him the ways of being an emperor and enjoyed the honor of being the emperor's teacher.

As expected, he would marry a beautiful and intelligent wife from a prominent family and spend the rest of his life with her, leaving a vivid and flawless record in history.

Instead of being like now, he has developed an interest in hunting for his brother's wife in the mansion and covets her day and night.

He originally wanted to let the poor woman go, but she kept breaking into his life and disrupting his rhythm.

Even if this poor woman is his sister-in-law and he is her respected uncle, so what?

As long as he wanted, she could not escape from his Five Finger Mountain.

The man lowered his head and looked at the poor woman who was at a loss after learning that her husband was sentenced to be executed in the autumn, and had no choice but to crawl and kneel at his feet to beg him.

Finally, she revealed her sharp fangs: "Want to save your husband? In exchange for you."
