Chapter 71 Letting go of the unworthy
"You are quite conscious, and you know how to figure out your superiors' thoughts."
Gong Mingyuan smiled and said, "As far as I know, Mr. Song's future wife, Miss Jiang, is very proficient in medicine. Mr. Song wants to find a clinic for Miss Jiang's sake. You have to hurry up and find a good location. Let Miss Jiang go and see if she likes it. If she likes it, she can say a few good words to Mr. Song. Then you don't have to worry about your future."
"Thank you for your advice, cousin. I will take care of it when I get back."
…
"Your Majesty, I made you some black chicken soup, drink it while it's hot."
In a pavilion in Prince Yi's Mansion, Jun Tianyi was originally staring at a pond of lotus in a trance, when Jiang Yuxi's voice suddenly sounded behind him, causing him to turn his head.
He looked at the black chicken soup that Jiang Yuxi put down, took a sip, frowned slightly, and then put down the spoon.
"This soup has a strong medicinal taste."
I remember that one time when he was injured while practicing sword, Rumin made black chicken soup for him. She was well versed in medicine, and the medicinal food she made tasted excellent, and the medicinal taste did not cover the delicious flavor of the chicken soup itself.
Although both of them added medicinal herbs when making the soup, Yuxi's soup had a strong medicinal taste and was far inferior to Rumin's.
"Your Highness, this soup is made according to the recipe given by the doctor. He said that these herbs will be good for your recovery from your injuries."
Jiang Yuxi sighed softly, "Maybe my cooking skills are not good enough. I will go back and ask the doctor how to make it taste better."
"Just leave the soup-making to the doctor. You don't have to worry about it."
As Jun Tianyi spoke, his gaze returned to the pond of lotus flowers.
Rumin likes lotus the most. There were no lotus in this pond originally, but he specially asked someone to plant them.
But she hasn't come to see it yet.
Before, she didn't dare to step into Prince Yi's Mansion because she was bound by her identity as Prime Minister Song's fiancée.
Between him and her, there is Song Yunchu, the biggest obstacle.
Song Yunchu...
Jun Tianyi silently repeated the name and clenched his fists.
If Song Yunchu hadn't instigated it, how could Rumin have such a big misunderstanding of him?
He recalled what Jiang Rumin had said the night before, and anger boiled in his heart.
She said he was headstrong, fame-seeking, and despicable.
He had clearly explained to her that where there is struggle there must be sacrifice and that if one wants to win one must not be soft-hearted. He just had no choice but to use her that time, and she had to use those harsh words to hurt his heart.
She used to love him deeply, but now she has discarded him like a piece of trash.
Is she treating him like this because she has transferred her affection to Song Yunchu?
After she knocked him unconscious with a hidden weapon last night, he lay there until late at night before waking up. A servant passed by and saw him and was shocked. But he was the future son-in-law of the Duke of Jin after all, and even the Duke of Jin had to give him some face. How could a mere servant dare to say anything?
He could go to the Duke's Mansion whenever he wanted, and he could also go to Rumin's residence. Even if she didn't welcome him, so what? After all, they had a past relationship, and he would be able to win her heart back sooner or later.
As for that bastard Song Yunchu, he would have to get rid of him sooner or later!
In the Duke's Mansion on the other side——
Jiang Rumin asked two maids to help her pack the things she wanted to take away when she left.
"Miss, the master is not at home right now. Should we tell him that we are moving out?"
Jiang Rumin said: "I left a letter for my father and did not say goodbye to him in person."
As she spoke, she opened the last drawer of the cabinet and saw the wood carving that Jun Tianyi gave her in the corner.
This was a birthday gift for her seventeenth birthday, carved by Jun Tianyi himself in her image. She had kept it as a treasure and was reluctant to leave it outside to gather dust.
"Yingchun, light the charcoal basin."
Yingchun, who was standing by, heard this and thought she was just cold, so she turned around and went to light a fire.
But what she never expected was that the next moment, a wooden sculpture appeared in the burning flame.
That was the thing that the young lady once treasured most.
She raised her head in surprise, "Miss, this..."
"Since we have to cut off our relationship, there is no point in keeping this thing."
Jiang Rumin's tone was flat, as if what she was throwing away was just an object that had nothing to do with her.
She quietly watched the wooden sculpture being burned by the flames, and surprisingly, there was not much emotion in her heart.
She fulfilled Lord Song's expectations.
She let go of the unworthy man.
Yingchun and Shaoyao on the side came to their senses and smiled at each other.
"Miss, we have almost packed our things. Can you see if there is anything missing?"
"As long as you take away everything that mother left behind, nothing else matters."
As the master and his servants were talking, a servant came over to report:
“Miss, Lord Song sent someone to pick you up and said he would take you somewhere.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Rumin quickly packed her things and walked out of the house with two maids.
The servants were puzzled when they saw that each of them was carrying a bundle.
"Miss, are you going on a long journey with your luggage?"
"It's none of your business." Jiang Rumin responded indifferently and quickened his pace.
The three of them left the Duke's Mansion and saw a gorgeous carriage parked outside the mansion. When Jiang Rumin approached, the driver opened the curtain and said, "Miss Jiang, please."
Jiang Rumin glanced into the carriage and saw a very unfamiliar young man sitting inside.
"Miss Jiang, I am a spy working for the Mingjing Division and working under Lord Song." Chu Yuni said, taking out the badge she got from Bai Zhu and showing it to Jiang Rumin.
Only then did Jiang Rumin get on the carriage with peace of mind.
What she didn't expect was that as soon as she sat down, Chu Yuni handed her several land deeds.
"Miss Jiang, this is a small gift from me, please accept it."
Jiang Rumin was stunned.
Please ask her to accept it?
"These three shops are all in good locations. Miss Jiang, if you are short of staff, I can arrange one for you. I'll take you to the first one first. If you are not satisfied with anything, just tell me directly. There is no need to be polite with me."
"No, I can't accept this deed. Thank you for finding a good location for me. How much silver does this shop cost? Let me see if I have enough."
Jiang Rumin was unwilling to take the land deeds and moved aside.
If she remembered correctly, Song Yunchu only said that he would ask his men to help her find a location. But as soon as they met, this man wanted to give her a shop as a gift. How could she accept it?
"Miss Jiang, what are you talking about? How could I ask you for money? I'm just helping Master Song."
Seeing Chu Yuni's sincere expression, Jiang Rumin asked him, "Is this your own idea or Lord Song's?"
"If this is your personal gift, I definitely can't accept it. I can't accept gifts without merit. This shop is not cheap. How can I accept it with peace of mind? If this is Mr. Song's gift to me..."
Jiang Rumin lowered her eyes and smiled, "You can't ask for it now. I'm not a member of the Song family yet."
