Chapter 424: Breaking the Pot

Song Jiuyuan was very satisfied, but this matter could not be rushed, so he quickly returned to his room and did not come out all night.

The next morning, he hurried to the Jiang Mansion not far away.

I thought I was early enough, but I didn't expect Qi Chu to be even earlier. Jiang Wan was teaching her at that moment.

When Jiang Wan finished her work and came to the front hall, Song Jiuyuan had already been waiting for half an hour.

"Wanwan."

Song Jiuyuan stared at Jiang Wan with burning eyes, and Jiang Wan wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead.

"Why are you here so early?"

"I have a gift for you."

Song Jiuyuan handed Jiang Wan a long box, his palms oozing with sweat, he was nervous.

Jiang Wan didn't think too much about it and took it directly. When he opened it, he found that it was a whip that was completely black.

"Wanwan, I know you don't like using swords. Daggers are mostly used for close-range attacks, but this whip can be used for long-range attacks."

Song Jiuyuan spoke seriously and with some anticipation. Jiang Wan gently stroked the whip with her fingertips, her joy beyond words.

"Song Jiuyuan, thank you, I like it very much."

She waved the whip a few times with great force, and then caught a glimpse of Song Jiuyuan's hand hidden behind his back.

"What happened to your hand?"

"nothing."

Song Jiuyuan smiled and changed the subject, "This is made of wild animal skin, very durable."

"Song Jiuyuan."

Jiang Wan put the whip on her waist, grabbed his arm suddenly and pulled his hand forward.

The next second she saw many tiny wounds on his fingertips, which were already covered with calluses.

These were all scratched by the carving knife when the whip was being made.

"Your hands are like this, have you applied medicine?"

Jiang Wan felt a little distressed. She turned back to her room and took out a bottle of ointment from the space.

"Wanwan, I'm fine."

When Song Jiuyuan went to the battlefield, his body was covered with wounds of all sizes, but he never cared.

Now, because of Jiang Wan's cautious treatment, he felt upset.

A voice in my head kept repeating.

This is her, she is the one he has destined to be with.

"Don't move."

Jiang Wan gently applied ointment on his fingertips which were full of small wounds. A delicate sweetness surged into her heart, and Song Jiuyuan's eyes were filled with tenderness.

"Song Jiuyuan, I like this whip very much, but can you be a little more careful next time?"

Jiang Wan had a serious look on her face and she blew gently on his fingertips.

"At worst you could wear gloves next time."

"Wanwan, I'm very happy."

Song Jiuyuan curved his lips, his handsome face was charming, and Jiang Wan's heart beat wildly.

"Your hands are already like this, why are you so happy?"

Jiang Wan didn't know that at this moment her eyes seemed to be stained with stars and her whole body seemed to be glowing pink.

"Wanwan took the initiative to care about me, so of course I'm happy."

Song Jiuyuan felt the ointment on his fingertips taking effect, it was cool and refreshing and very comfortable.

Just like Jiang Wan, it’s comfortable and warm to be with her.

"Jiang Wan!"

An inappropriate voice suddenly interrupted the slightly sweet atmosphere between the two.

Cheng Jin appeared in front of them, and before he could finish his words, he met Song Jiuyuan's cold eyes.

Why come at such a good time? Why come at this time!

Cheng Jin: …

Well, it's not the right time.

"Did you bring the deed?"

Jiang Wan had finished applying the medicine to Song Jiuyuan, and she stood up and sat down calmly.

It was as if the person who was teased by Song Jiuyuan just now was not her.

Feeling Song Jiuyuan's murderous gaze, Cheng Jin swallowed hard and finally decided to just go for it!

Anyway, I've already interrupted my brother's good thing, so I might as well pretend I didn't know.

"Yes, this is the contract I drafted myself. Please take a look at it first."

If he sticks out his head, he will be in danger. Cheng Jin chose to ignore Song Jiuyuan.

Jiang Wan took the contract and looked at it. Cheng Jin didn't do anything tricky. She signed her name neatly.

Then he pressed his fingerprints again, making two copies.

"alright."

"Are you ready?"

Song Jiuyuan glanced at Cheng Jin calmly, "Once you're done, go do the rest."

Cheng Jin: …

The corner of his mouth twitched, "I have something else I want to share with you."

"What's up?"

Song Jiuyuan glanced at Cheng Jin calmly. Cheng Jin's scalp numbed slightly, and he said with his head down:

"Ruhua wrote me a letter saying that the Jiang family has arranged a marriage for her and they will be getting married soon."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan both fell silent.

Cheng Jin didn't mind and continued, "It's Young Master Liu from the Marquis' Mansion."

"fine."

Song Jiuyuan nodded slightly, "Young Master Liu's brother will inherit the title, and he is also a legitimate son, so there won't be much pressure.

It seems that the Jiang family has put a lot of thought into finding a marriage for her."

"So as long as she doesn't do anything stupid, she should have a good life."

Jiang Wan interrupted and said that Jiang Ruhua was not a bad person, but they had different ideas and could not work together.

But Jiang Wan still hoped that she would be fine and not disturb Song Jiuyuan again.

"Um."

Cheng Jin nodded slightly, feeling a little bitter in his heart, after all, this was the girl he had liked for many years.

"girl!"

Qiu Niang came out with a plate, and Jiang Wan then remembered the task she had just assigned to Qiu Niang.

"Song Jiuyuan, these are the two stones I bought from the Eight Treasures Pavilion that day, and they turned out to be two pieces of jade."

Jiang Wan said tactfully: "If you know a craftsman, please ask him to make it into jewelry for me."

In front of Cheng Jin, Jiang Wan did not mention the master under Song Jiuyuan.

After all, the jade mine is a secret between the two of them.

“It really came out?!!”

Cheng Jin's eyes widened, and this shock instantly diluted the sadness in his heart.

"yes."

Jiang Wan lifted the red cloth, revealing two pieces of emerald green jade. They were not top-grade, but they were of good quality.

Cheng Jin:!!!

He couldn't help but step forward and touch the jade, and said with great sorrow: "I should have asked you to help me pick a few pieces."

"They are all inferior raw materials. Where can we find so many good ones?"

Jiang Wan let out a click of the tongue. Cheng Jin played with the jade curiously and suddenly looked at Jiang Wan.

"Jiang Wan, what is it that you don't know?"

Sensing the crisis, Song Jiuyuan quickly responded, "My Wanwan is indeed excellent."

Cheng Jin: …

"It's like I'm praising you."

Cheng Jin rolled his eyes in annoyance and sighed, "I wonder if there are any more jade stones on that stall."

"There's one more."

Jiang Wan curled her lips, and the young man who was setting up the stall took the jade that Jiang Wan placed at his feet, smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"What are you thinking about, little one?"

"grandfather."

The young man lowered his eyes and said, "This is the woolen material that the guest placed at my feet.

I'm just curious, does she really know what she's doing?"

"You'll know after you try it."

The old man lying on the hospital bed took the rough material from the boy's hand and gently scraped the outside of the rough material with a carving knife.

Because of his illness, the old man's movements were a little slower than usual, but still much faster than ordinary people.

Half an hour passed, and the young man felt sorry for his grandfather, so he tried to dissuade him:

"never mind."

The young man shook his head bitterly, “That girl is not very old, how could she be so powerful.

Maybe it's just a coincidence, so I'd better keep it and sell it for silver."
