"Your Highness, do you want to take my daughter as your disciple?"
Jiang Rongqing opened his mouth wide, feeling incredible.
Chu Muchi was not surprised by his reaction. He just waved his hand and explained with a gentle smile, "It's not that formal. I just received the instructions from Madam Wang. She is worried that Miss Jiang might be bullied after recovering from a serious illness, so she wants me to teach her some self-defense skills."
Kung Fu to protect yourself and save your life?
Jiang Rongqing felt that what she said was a little strange. This ordinary lady was raised in the inner house, never leaving the main gate or the secondary gate. Her ordinary worries were just some withering plants and trees, and she felt sad about the passing of spring and autumn. Why would she need any skills to protect herself? Did Madam Wang think that the Jinyi Marquis Mansion was a den of tigers and wolves, which could eat her two beloved granddaughters alive at any time?
As soon as the thought came to his mind, Jiang Rongqing felt upset, but because Chu Muchi was present, he couldn't get angry.
Gao Jian, standing by, noticed his master's displeasure and knew he couldn't let anything show. He tactfully brought some tea and complimented her with a smile, "My Lord, you've always loved the young lady the most. Now that the Madam is in charge, isn't it just right for her to learn something? As the saying goes, many skills are always a burden!"
These words were flawless and perfectly covered up Jiang Rongqing's unhappiness.
The matter was settled. Chu Muchi stood up to say goodbye. Jiang Rongqing suddenly woke up as if from a dream and hurriedly stood up to see him off.
After walking two steps, he hurriedly asked someone to ask Jiang Mingzhi to come and see him off. Gao Jian smiled uncomfortably and said in a low voice, "My Lord, have you forgotten? The eldest lady was injured by her horse today and can't come now."
Jiang Rongqing came back to his senses in a daze, hummed, looked up and saw that Chu Muchi had already walked several steps away, so he quickly quickened his pace to catch up.
The whispering voices of the master and servant behind him reached Chu Muchi's ears without missing a word.
He didn't want to listen, but people who practice martial arts have better hearing than ordinary people, so those words just had to drill into his ears.
It's no secret that Marquis Jinyi doesn't value his eldest daughter, but he never expected that he could forget something that just happened. It shows that he doesn't take his eldest daughter seriously at all. It's not like he hasn't lived in a noble family before. Even a pampered young lady is just a piece of skin, and her mother can feel distressed for a long time. This girl has no biological mother, and her father not only doesn't know how to care more about her, but ignores her as if he doesn't have this daughter.
For some reason, he felt a surge of nameless anger in his heart. When he got on the carriage, Jiang Rongqing stepped forward to salute him, but he didn't even look at her and got on the carriage directly. Jiang Rongqing was left standing there with an embarrassed look on his face, like a fool, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
But he was confused. His Royal Highness Prince Yong, who was rumored to be extremely difficult to get along with, had been so gentle and polite when he spoke to him just now. He had just thought that the rumors were not credible when he was frightened by the speed at which Prince Yong's expression changed.
The carriage drove away in a cloud of dust. Jiang Rongqing was about to turn around when a dusty man in a coarse shirt came running out, holding a letter in his hand and shouting, "My Lord!"
Jiang Rongqing couldn't help but frown. He turned around and was about to scold him when he was stunned and recognized the person.
"My Lord, the old lady's carriage has arrived outside the city gate!"
The man who came was about thirty years old, breathing heavily, with a smile on his face. He was from Dingzhou. Jiang Rongqing knew that he was a servant who had followed his father in the past, named Zhong Rui.
