Chapter 16 Chapter 16 Dog Training
"Don't worry about whether I can finish the meal by myself, Your Highness. On the contrary, if Your Highness is short of money, I ordered a lot of dishes, why don't you leave some for us to share." Song Jin didn't get angry when hearing this obvious and covert sarcasm, and still had a gentle smile on his face. In the eyes of Jiang Wu, who knew his nature well, he was probably thinking about how to kill the person in front of him.
If Ji Xiao is compared to a jackal that can easily become furious and lose its mind, then Song Jin is an extremely patient poisonous snake lurking in the dark, waiting for the prey to let down its guard and then bite off its throat.
Jiang Wu could at least figure out the bottom line of the two of them and had corresponding methods, but He Shiyan was the only one who made her unable to figure out what he wanted.
And this is often the most dangerous.
Ji Xiao glanced coldly at the box where only one person was, but there was a table with two sets of bowls and chopsticks. A darkness gradually grew in his eyes. It was obvious that there was someone else in the room. He had just waited outside the door for a long time but no one came out, which meant that the person was still in the room.
Ji Xiao looked around and immediately fixed his eyes behind the screen. He wanted to see who he had invited to dinner here and why that person hid when he saw him come in.
Ji Xiao, with a fierce look in his eyes, immediately thought of the woman who said she was going to prepare a gift but didn't come back for a long time. His clenched fists made a creaking sound.
Jiang Wanwan, you'd better pray that the person inside is not you!
The moment he walked in, Jiang Wu, who was so frightened that his breath suddenly stopped, thought he would leave immediately, but he didn't expect him to limp to the back of the screen and immediately search for a place where he could hide.
No, there was no place for her to hide here. Instead, she saw an open window letting in a cool breeze.
She was on the third floor now. If she really jumped down, she would be either dead or injured. But she saw the footsteps approaching. If he found out that she was here after saying she was going to get a gift, then she would be really finished.
Faced with the choice of being discovered by Ji Xiao and falling down the stairs, the terrified Jiang Wu chose the latter without hesitation.
She immediately ran to the window, supported herself on the windowsill with one hand and jumped down. The moment she jumped, her wide skirt bloomed like lotus petals.
Jiang Wu held down the hem of her skirt with both hands and closed her eyes, ready to wait for a sharp pain, but she fell steadily into a warm and safe embrace. The scent of cool pine branches in the snow lingered in her nose, but the cedar fragrance was mixed with a very faint smell of blood.
Before she could recover from the feeling of weightlessness from jumping off the building, a clear sound like breaking jade, filled with suppressed anger, came from above her head.
"Ma'am, what are you doing?"
Jiang Wu opened his eyes with a shudder upon hearing the all too familiar voice, and what caught his eyes were a pair of angry eyes and a hand clasped tightly around his waist.
Who else could it be if not Xie Ji who caught her downstairs!
Jiang Wu's mind was blank. Just as she was trying to come up with an excuse, the man had already put her down and straightened her crooked hairpin. "Madam, you don't want to say that you accidentally slipped, do you?"
His tone seemed normal, but if someone knew him well, they would be able to tell that he was on the verge of a rage.
Jiang Wu was just thinking about how to find an excuse, but she didn't expect him to be so thoughtful and help her think of one. Just as she was about to nod, she heard him say with a hint of sarcasm, "Who would slip and fall from the third-floor window? Even if Madam is going to find an excuse, she has to find a good one."
"Could it be that Madam still thinks that just because you broke your leg, you don't have to study anymore?"
In fact, at the moment of jumping down, Jiang Wu did think of it in his heart, but how could he say it so openly? He was so anxious that his face turned red and embarrassed, "Why are you here?"
Shouldn't he have gone to the teahouse next door with Shen Tingxue?
Xie Ji's voice, as clear as spring water hitting stone, rang out again, "Madam, why are you here?"
What he wanted to ask more was why she jumped from the third floor. If he hadn't seen and caught her in time, would she have known how dangerous it was?
His original rage reached its peak when he saw her avoiding the question, but he endured it and restrained himself, fearing that it would scare his little wife.
After all, he was just her husband, not a servant with a death contract.
This question made Jiang Wu choke. She should not have asked such a question earlier. Just as she was racking her brains, Shen Tingxue's voice came over like a heavenly sound.
"Master, why have you been gone for so long and haven't come back yet?" Shen Tingxue walked over and took Xie Ji's wrist as if claiming sovereignty, resting her head on it to highlight their intimacy.
"It turns out to be Sister Jiang. Now that we've met, Sister Jiang, would you like to have dinner with me and Master?" Shen Tingxue emphasized the word "Master" to highlight the extraordinary relationship between them.
For the first time, Jiang Wu thought Shen Tingxue wasn't that annoying. He shook his head and refused, "No, just eat. I've ordered the food upstairs."
Speaking of upstairs, I don’t know what Song Jin will think about her and Ji Xiao’s relationship after not seeing her, and why she would rather jump off the building to avoid Ji Xiao.
But Shen Tingxue didn't let her go and continued to ask, "I don't know who my sister is meeting at the teahouse. If you don't mind, can you give me and my master an extra pair of chopsticks?"
Xie Ji calmly pulled his hand out of Shen Tingxue's arms, and his cold, scrutinizing gaze fell on her. "Since she's your friend, as your husband, I should meet her and say hello."
"No, no." Jiang Wu, whose scalp was tingling, felt that Xie Ji's head was kicked by a donkey. Didn't he see Shen Tingxue still beside him and wanted him to accompany him?
"My friend is a bit of a stranger, so let's wait for next time. I will definitely let you meet next time." Jiang Wu ran away faster than anyone else, fearing that they would catch up with him.
Shen Tingxue, who was pushed away by her master, clung to him again unwillingly. She was still resentful of the word "husband" he called himself, and was even more afraid that he was rejecting her in disguise. She bit her lip and said in confusion, "Master, Sister Jiang left in such a hurry. Could she be hiding some secret from you?"
"Master, you know I'm not the type to gossip behind people's backs. I'm just worried about Sister Jiang's simple nature. What if she gets deceived by someone with bad intentions? You know, Sister Jiang grew up in the countryside, and I'm afraid she hasn't seen much of the world."
Xie Ji, with his eyelashes drooping, withdrew his hand again with a distant and indifferent look, "What do you want to say?"
"I'm just worried that Sister Jiang will be deceived." What Shen Tingxue wanted to say more was, why not secretly go up with her to see who the person having dinner with her is.
If it were a man, a fickle woman like her would never be worthy of a gentleman like the master. The master would have to see the woman's true hypocritical face.
If she were a woman, she would definitely learn some despicable seductive methods from concubines and prostitutes, which would be a disgrace to the status of the Prime Minister's wife.
"It's good that you have this intention."
Jiang Wu went upstairs again and thought that she had gone to prepare gifts, but if she went downstairs now, she might meet Shen Tingxue and the other person who had not left yet. Suddenly, she remembered that the sachet Song Jin gave her last time was still in her sleeve.
Got it.
When Ji Xiao walked past the screen and found that there was no one behind it, he suddenly felt relieved.
At that moment, even he didn't understand whether he was more relieved or disappointed.
If she dared to leave him and go have dinner with another man, he would crush her bones.
Song Jin, who was following behind, didn't see anyone either, and wondered where she had gone. Then his eyes suddenly fixed on the wide-open window, and his breathing was so choked that he was so panicked that he didn't even notice it.
"Now that my lord sees that there's no one here, are you satisfied?" Song Jin also smiled like a fox, with a cold look in his eyes. "Or do you think that I have the person you're looking for here, lord?"
She would rather jump out the window and leave than meet this idiot, thinking of the smug look on his face last time.
It's really infuriating to watch.
"I just came to take a look casually. Do you really think you are worthy of my attention?" Ji Xiao looked down on Song Jinye from the bottom of his heart. He was calculating even the slightest hair, but he pretended to be innocent and harmless. If it weren't for the fact that Song Jinye was an honest and obedient money bag in his family, he would not even have the qualifications to talk to him.
Ji Xiao didn't find her in the box. He was getting annoyed and was about to go downstairs to look for her when the door of the box he was in was opened, revealing a face that made him furious.
Jiang Wu, who had half-sticked her head out from the door with her hands on the edge, saw him, her eyes lit up, and she complained with grievance: "Where did you go just now? I didn't see you when I came back. Do you know that I thought you left early like last time?"
"Oh, you finally decided to come back. I almost thought you were kidnapped by robbers on the way." Ji Xiao gritted his teeth. It was obviously his fault because she hadn't come back to find her for too long, but she turned around and blamed him.
Well, she is really great.
"You know, I'm from the countryside and can barely read. It took me a long time to find the private room." Jiang Wu took out the sachet that Song Jin had given her the day before, and faced her lover with the shyness of a little girl. "I thought giving you gold, silver, or jewelry would be too tacky and wouldn't show my love, so I wanted to make you a piece of clothing myself. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to give it to you today, and my craftsmanship isn't very good. I was afraid you'd dislike it, so I decided to make a sachet."
"This is my first time making a sachet. It may not be very good, but it contains my thoughts." In the dream, Jiang Wu knew clearly that this sachet was a hornet's nest and had to be thrown away.
But some things are better digested internally than thrown away.
"That's it?" Ji Xiao looked at the crudely made and effeminate pink sachet, pinched a corner of the sachet with two fingers and lifted it up in disgust.
You know, this thing is so rough that even his maids and servants wouldn't wear it, so she gave it to herself?
"Don't you like it?" Jiang Wu, who was rubbing her fingers nervously, seemed not to see the disgust on his face, but looked at him shyly with expectation.
"I like peach blossoms, so I thought, I will give you my favorite thing." Of course, if the embroidery is chrysanthemum, orchid, or malan flower, she will also say that she likes chrysanthemum, orchid, orchid the most.
Jiang Wu stood on tiptoe while he was silent and placed a gentle kiss on his cheek. "The first time I saw you, I felt that you, like peach blossoms, would be my favorite person."
