Chapter 41 Chapter 41 Ji Xiao thought, he likes her...
There is a tiger in front and a jackal behind, closing in on you step by step, and you have no place to retreat.
If you don't want to live in disgrace, then the only way left is to rise up and resist.
"Master, I really have some questions that I don't understand. I hope you can give me some advice." Song Shi was not sad or frustrated because she ignored him. Instead, his eyes became more excited.
The Master's frightened expression now looks even more adorable. I really want to hide the Master somewhere where no one knows.
Song Jin didn't know why he had this kind of dream, and he dreamed of the culprit who caused him to become like this, but at this moment, looking at her trembling with fear and trying to stay calm, he couldn't help but feel a twisted excitement in his heart.
It was like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark, poking its head out to look at its prey.
Jiang Wu, with a gloomy face, tried to force them to retreat with a harsh shout: "What do you want to do? Do you still remember that I am your master?"
Jiang Wu, whose teeth were about to break, thought that the dream with He Shiyan was crazy enough, but she didn't expect that the craziest one would be the current one.
"Master, we don't want to do anything. We just have some academic problems that we don't understand, and we'd like to ask you for advice." Song Shi looked at Song Jinye with a smile and tilted his head. "Brother, am I right?"
Song Jin sighed softly, "We are so eager to learn, shouldn't the Master praise us? Why is he scolding us?"
"If you want to study, why don't you come during the day?" Jiang Wu, whose palms were bleeding from being scratched by his nails, was almost laughing at their shameless words.
"It's because the teacher wasn't feeling well during the day, so we had to wait until night," Song Jin said, reaching out to touch her face. "We're so considerate, shouldn't the teacher praise us?"
When Song Jinye's hand was about to touch her face, Jiang Wu, whose tongue was stinging from biting her teeth, quickly pulled out the hairpin from her hair and stabbed it into Song Shi's chest. Taking advantage of the pain and distraction in Song Shi, she pushed him away and ran out.
Before Jiang Wu could run out, a ghostly figure blew a breath into her ear, "Master, where are you going? Wouldn't it be better for you to stay with us?"
Jiang Wu, who was so panicked as if a poisonous snake was wrapped around her neck, raised the hairpin again without hesitation and stabbed him.
Madmen, they are two complete madmen!
Fortunately, the medical book Jiang Wu had read before allowed him to know where to prick the most painful areas, where it would most likely cause coma, and where it would be fatal.
Almost there, she was almost at the door.
When her hand was about to touch the door, her ankle was suddenly grasped by a bloody hand. The owner of that hand raised his head and gave her a sharp smile, "Master, where are you going?"
"You haven't answered the questions in the book for your disciples yet."
"Ah! Get out of here!" Jiang Wu, who was frightened and sweating, could no longer control himself. He kicked the person holding his ankle and then stepped on the hand holding his ankle.
One kick, two kicks, three kicks...
In the end, Jiang Wu didn't even know how many kicks he had made.
When he felt that the force holding his ankle was no longer as strong, he immediately opened the door and ran out.
When she ran out of the house, she found it was snowing. She had been in such a hurry that she was only wearing a thin undershirt. Normally, she wouldn't feel cold, heat, or hunger in a dream. But this dream was different. Everything that happened in it was too real.
But if she were to go back into that room now, she would rather freeze to death outside.
The master who lived in the next courtyard heard the sound and opened the door. Seeing her running out in thin clothes, he did not ask her what happened. Instead, he asked, "If you don't mind, Master Jiang, would you like to come in and hide for a while?"
Jiang Wu, who was almost losing consciousness due to the cold, thanked him and went into the courtyard where he was.
"Have a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up."
Jiang Wu was about to reach out to take it when the person handing him the tea suddenly turned into Song Jinye.
Song Jin also smiled like a venomous snake spitting out scarlet tongues, slowly wrapping around her body, "Master, is the tea I brewed delicious?"
Xie Ji, who had woken up from the dream first, saw her face turned pale due to the nightmare, and suddenly a guess that seemed almost impossible and extremely absurd arose in his mind.
Maybe he was not dreaming, but had mistakenly entered his wife's dream.
In the past, he would have scoffed at such supernatural things, but after the strange things happened to Changle and himself, he had to be on high alert.
Ever since leaving the Prime Minister's Residence that day, Ji Xiao locked himself in the room and refused to eat or drink. No matter how much Chang Ji Ji Bao outside the door tried to persuade him to open the door and eat, he remained unmoved, and his mind kept replaying what happened at the banquet that day.
What was more important was her expression of shock, pain, disbelief and astonishment when it fell on her.
In fact, thinking back on it, when he found out that the person lying next to him was not Jiang Wanwan, he felt a little relieved in his heart, at least her reputation would not be really tarnished.
He also regretted why he made the bet with them. Although he was usually a bit reckless, how could he joke about a woman's most important reputation this time? What was the difference between this and directly forcing someone to death?
"Prince, the princess is here to see you." Changji's voice suddenly came from outside the door, followed by a "creaky" sound when the carved door was pushed open.
"Ze Xiu, I heard that you haven't been eating recently. How can a person not eat?"
Ji Xiao looked at Shen Tingxue who was approaching him in the bright sunlight. He should be ecstatic about her arrival, but also nervous and at a loss.
But at this moment, he actually hoped that it was someone else who came to see him.
Because of this inexplicable thought, Ji Xiao began to reflect on whether he really loved Changle?
She is beautiful, kind, noble, knowledgeable and talented. She is a talented woman famous in Chang'an and the sweetheart that all the young men in Chang'an City dream of. So it is natural to like her. It would be out of place if you don't like her.
In his heart, he was so convinced, but the face of another woman appeared before his eyes.
Even if that woman is greedy, materialistic, full of lies, and knows fewer words than herself.
Shen Tingxue, who reached out to touch his face, said worriedly: “Ze Xiu, what are you thinking about? I called you several times, but you ignored me.”
Ji Xiao subconsciously avoided her movements, pursed his cracked lips, and said guiltily: "Sorry, I was thinking about something."
"Are you still bothered by what happened that day?" Shen Tingxue bit her red lips and thought of what happened that day. She was still a little angry. Her usually beautiful face showed a hint of ferocity. "I know you and Rong An are definitely not that kind of people. If you ask me, someone must have framed you."
"Although I don't know who that person is, I can predict that she must have a vicious heart. If she didn't have a vicious heart, how could she have damaged your and Rong An's reputation and made you disliked by my master." Even her master, who already had a grudge against her, now avoided her.
Killing three birds with one stone. She really underestimated that idiot before.
At this moment, Ji Xiao couldn't hear what she said at all, and his mind was full of only one thought.
Go see her, desperately want to see her.
Shen Tingxue, who was still talking, saw that he not only ignored her but also ran out, and chased after him angrily, "Zexiu, where are you going, didn't you hear me talking to you?"
"Please go back, Prince. Our master said that the mansion will not receive any visitors for the time being." The doorman felt that Prince Ji was really shameless. Not only did he do that kind of thing with his cousin at the banquet not long ago, but now he dared to come and ask to see the master with such brazenness.
If he had done such an ugly thing, he would probably still be doing this now.
Ji Xiao clenched his fists and said hoarsely, "This prince is not looking for your prime minister, but for your wife."
Upon hearing this, the doorman rolled his eyes to the sky.
It seems that all his previous words were thrown into vain. She didn't care whether he was a prince or not, and started to drive him away impatiently, "If you want to see my master and my wife, you'd better send a visiting card first."
Jiang Wu, who hadn't realized Ji Xiao had come several times but was always turned away, was standing outside the study with a bowl of sweet soup. When she was about to go in, Gao Lang stopped her and said, "Madam, the master is discussing something with some elders. Please wait a moment, or give the soup to me and I will take it in."
"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Mr. Gao." Jiang Wu handed him the tray without thinking too much.
After turning around and leaving, Gao Lang, who had originally gone in to deliver the soup, hurried out again and said with a smile, "The master said that if Madam doesn't mind being bored, she can move to the small hall next to the study and wait."
Jiang Wu, who had come to see him for something, did not refuse. She let Gao Lang lead her to the small hall and sat her down. Worried that she would be bored, he hurriedly prepared tea, snacks, and a few storybooks to entertain her.
"Please wait here for a moment, Madam. I will come over once the adults have discussed everything."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Jiang Wu's mind was not on the storybooks, but on the man behind the openwork screen with the four gentlemen of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum carved on it.
His figure is as straight and upright as pine and cypress, his temperament is as awe-inspiring as green bamboo, and his every move exudes majesty without anger.
Even through a screen, one can see his smooth jawline and superior brow bones.
Jiang Wu, holding her chin with her hand, had to deny that if he only had Shen Tingxue in his heart, she would have made a fortune by marrying him.
It seemed like a long time had passed, yet it was only a short while. The elders who were discussing matters said goodbye one by one, and a tall figure appeared in front of her, completely blocking out her light.
"Madam, is there something you want to talk to me about?" His voice was very light, but with a barely perceptible smile.
Jiang Wu, who was caught peeking, blushed immediately. She hurriedly poured a glass of water and handed it to him. She blinked and asked sincerely, "Husband, what were you talking about just now?"
It had been a while since he'd seen her so well-behaved, and Xie Ji, feeling a little itchy in his palms, didn't hide it from her, "There are several Xie family members among the successful candidates this time. The elders of the family are particularly optimistic about one of them, so they asked me to take extra care of him. There are also a few more promising students in the Xie family school, and they said they hope I can teach them personally."
Jiang Wu lost interest after hearing this. Then he heard him say, "The Wuyun Kingdom and its princess will visit Yan before the New Year, and there will be an autumn hunt soon. Madam, you can take advantage of this time to practice your archery diligently so that you can make a big splash when the time comes."
Jiang Wu, who was very interested in this autumn hunt, felt a little frustrated: "No matter how much I practice, I can't become an archer who can hit the target every time."
"As long as Madam wants, I believe that Madam will soon become a sharpshooter who never misses her target." Xie Ji put down the cup and turned to walk out of the study.
"Future Archer, let's go to the training ground now."
While Jiang Wu was practicing archery, the royal autumn hunt arrived as scheduled.
She remembered that something very interesting had happened during the autumn hunt in her dream.
