Chapter 151 I Miss You Very Much
West of the imperial city.
As the early morning sunlight shines on the long street, shops on both sides of the street open one after another.
The long street, which had been deserted for many days, has regained its former bustle.
Jiang Rumin took two maids out to buy groceries. Listening to the shouts in the streets accompanied by the sounds of carriages and horses, a smile filled her eyes.
Everywhere they looked, they saw a bustling and bustling scene, which finally paid off for their hard work these days.
"Miss, we can go back tomorrow. Let's go shopping today. We haven't had a chance to go out and play in the long time since we came to the west of the city."
"Yeah, I've been busy for so many days, and I can finally relax." Jiang Rumin said, "Now that the lockdown has been lifted, all the shops on the street are open. Is there anything you want to eat?"
“I want to eat tofu pudding!”
"Miss, I want to try the roasted lamb leg there. I heard from the innkeeper that it tastes very good. Let's have a try before we go back, shall we?"
Listening to the two people beside him, Jiang Rumin responded with a smile, "Then let's go eat tofu pudding first, and then I'll take you for a walk. When you're tired, we can go eat roasted lamb legs."
The master and his two servants chatted and laughed as they entered the tofu pudding shop.
Soon, three bowls of tofu pudding and several snacks were served on the table.
The three of them were discussing their schedule for the next half day and did not notice two familiar faces walked into the store.
It was not until the other customers in the store left one after another that Yingchun realized something was wrong.
It was quite lively when I just came in, how come it became quiet in just a moment?
She subconsciously turned her head and her eyes fell on the two people not far behind her, and she was a little surprised.
She quickly tugged at Jiang Rumin's sleeve, "Miss, His Royal Highness Prince Yi..."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Rumin followed Yingchun's gaze and looked towards the counter.
Jun Tianyi and his personal attendant were standing by the counter, while the shop assistants were still asking other customers to leave.
Jiang Rumin's eyes darkened.
Does this person have to show off wherever he goes? It would be fine if he came to this restaurant, but he also asked the owner to clear the place and disturbed the guests' interest in eating.
After the guests left, Jun Tianyi walked over slowly.
"Minmin, I missed you a lot during the time you came to the west of the city."
Jun Tianyi looked at Jiang Rumin's face, his eyes showing a look of heartache, "You look thinner than before, have you not eaten well these days? I brought you your favorite Yikousu and Furong Cake."
As he spoke, he took out two food boxes from the bag of his attendant behind him and placed them on Jiang Rumin's table.
"Your Highness is right. I have not eaten well these days because I have been so focused on caring for the plague patients that I have been eating haphazardly. Unlike you, Your Highness, you have been living in your mansion all day, enjoying delicious food and drinks without any worries. Your complexion is even more rosy and shiny than before."
Jiang Rumin said calmly, "Now that the west of the city has been unsealed and the crisis has been resolved, you finally have the courage to come here to visit me. I am really touched."
Yingchun and Shaoyao beside him wanted to laugh after hearing this, but considering Jun Tianyi's status as a prince, they held back and lowered their heads to eat tofu pudding in silence.
The young lady has become more eloquent since she started interacting with Lord Song.
"Do you have to be so sarcastic when talking to me?"
Jun Tianyi's face was a little stiff. "It's not that I don't want to come and visit you. If I could come and go freely, I would have come earlier. But even if I come to the west of the city, what can I do? General Zhao's soldiers will definitely stop me outside."
"Others may use this reason, but when it comes from your Highness Prince Yi, it is not so convincing."
Jiang Rumin's expression remained calm. "You can't come in, but your men can. They can even cause trouble for me and Lord Song at the critical moment. Should I say that your men are really powerful? Or let me put it another way. Your ability is not even as good as your men."
Jun Tianyi's eyes darkened and he felt a little angry.
Poison Lady and the others had to use inferior tricks to get through the level. If he guessed correctly, they were using the beauty trap.
They can use this kind of strategy, but how can he use it?
Furthermore, he did not send them here just to deal with Song the dog thief. He also told them that if Jiang Rumin was in danger, they must find a way to get her out.
He clearly cared about her and missed her, but every word she said was a mockery of him.
This must have been instigated by the thief Song.
But he couldn't admit in front of her that he sent Poison Lady and the others. Once he admitted it and it got to Song Gouzei's ears, he would definitely accuse him of a crime.
"What subordinates? I have never sent anyone to the west of the city."
Jun Tianyi remained calm, but his tone was filled with doubt, "Did someone cause trouble for you and Prime Minister Song?"
Jiang Rumin sneered inwardly when she saw him starting to play dumb.
Did he think he could fool her by pretending to be ignorant? She had spent all her thoughts on him, so how could she not understand his character?
If she really wronged him, he would fly into a rage, accuse her emotionally, and express strong dissatisfaction with her questioning. He would never be like he is now, pretending to be ignorant but not showing much emotional ups and downs.
He was clearly feeling guilty at the moment, which was why he didn't dare to raise his voice or get angry at her.
If he didn't want to admit it, then there was no point for her to say more.
"Since it wasn't the prince's doing, then you don't need to ask too much. Now that the west of the city has been unsealed, General Zhao and I will be leaving soon. I have a rare day off today, so I just want to go shopping with Shaoyao Yingchun. Please help me, Your Highness, and don't bother me again and again."
Now that Lord Song is not here, the two maids are obviously no match for Jun Tianyi, and he also brought his entourage today. If she still wants to use the same trick again to knock him out with a needle, it is probably not going to work.
Then let’s not expose his shameless behavior for now.
Jiang Rumin suppressed the hatred in her heart and tried to speak in a calm tone: "Your Majesty, please consider it for my reputation and avoid suspicion. Can you stop following me?"
Seeing Jiang Rumin slow down her tone and stop speaking with sarcastic remarks, Jun Tianyi felt more relaxed. "Okay, I will do as you say. If you want to go shopping with the two maids, I won't disturb you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help."
Jiang Rumin stood up to leave, but was stopped by Jun Tianyi, "Minmin, please try the snacks I brought for you."
