Chapter 46 Chapter 46 Eloping
No matter what outsiders speculated, Yun Miaomiao, who claimed to be Xie Ji's real fiancée, and her family moved into the Xie Mansion.
Qiaozhi recounted everything that had happened at the gate in detail and cursed, "They are truly uncouth country folk, just as disgusting as that woman. The moment they came in, even the air in the house became turbid."
Shen Tingxue, who was arranging flowers, didn't take it seriously. "Where did Master arrange for them to live?"
"In the guest room."
Shen Tingxue half-raised her eyelids as she snipped off a pink flower with scissors. "Since they are guests, prepare a gift for them."
Qiaozhi didn't understand why the princess wanted to give gifts to those people. Even though she had many doubts in her heart, she swallowed them all and went to prepare.
I'm afraid that after today, the mansion will become extremely lively.
Only after the crowd had dispersed did Gao Lang anxiously ask Xie Yu, who was standing by, "Tell me, who is our real wife? If Miss Yun is the fiancée your Excellency has contracted, what should the current wife do?"
Gao Lang knew that the Lord was a man of his word, but he also hated being deceived.
Xie Yu, sword in hand, glanced at him coldly. "Your Excellency will make the final decision on this matter. As your subordinates, we must avoid discussing your private affairs."
Gao Lang scratched his cheek. "I'm just worried, mainly because I think my wife is doing well."
Xie Yu glanced at him coldly, then walked out the door.
What happened outside the Prime Minister's Mansion today was like a gust of wind blowing dandelion seeds all over the corners of Chang'an City, and it also drew people's attention to the case of the true and false fiancée.
After learning that the prince was racing at the racecourse, Ji Bao hurried over. Without even taking a breath, he waved at the person racing and shouted, "Prince, this is bad, this is bad, something terrible has happened!"
In the distance, I saw a figure in a scarlet robe fluttering in the wind, and the sound of a horse's hooves stepping on the stars.
The wolf that should have been soaring in the grassland has now become a penned sheep.
Ji Xiao wanted to go visit her, but ended up going through the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion. He was venting his frustration by horse racing. Just as he got warmed up on the horse, he heard Ji Bao's foolish voice.
"This prince is very good. If you dare to curse me again, you will go back to cleaning the toilet in the outer courtyard." Ji Xiao rode over and threw the heavy bow in his hand to him, then impatiently turned over and got off the horse and kicked him in the butt.
"If you have something to say, just say it. If you have to fart, hurry up."
Changji, who was waiting on the side, considerately brought water and a towel, "My Lord, please have some water first."
I can only shake my head at my younger brother who always does stupid things. It’s a good thing that the prince has a good temper.
"No, Your Highness, have you always asked me to keep an eye on every move of the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Ji Bao, who was kicked, rubbed his butt in grievance.
Ji Xiao gave him a sidelong look, and the latter immediately stopped complaining and got down to business.
Ji Bao finished his vivid description and slapped his thigh with a smile, "Prince, tell me, which of these two is the Prime Minister's true fiancée?"
"If what that girl said is true, then the current Prime Minister's wife will have to be asked to leave the house."
Just as Ji Bao finished speaking, he looked up and saw the prince walking away. He hurriedly caught up with the heavy bow that seemed to weigh him down, "Prince, where are you going? Aren't you going to continue shooting arrows and riding horses?"
Changji, who was watching from the side, shook his head and said, "Alright, put the heavy bow away first. If you see the prince with a gloomy face in the future, it's best to keep your mouth shut."
Jibao: “Ah?”
Changji, with his hands behind his back, looked up at the white clouds floating in the sky and sighed sadly.
It looked like it was going to rain that day.
Suddenly, the wind started to blow outside, making the temperature cooler. Yu Shu opened the window to let the wind in. She turned around and said, "Don't worry, Madam. The Lord will definitely take care of this matter."
"And I believe that Madam is definitely not that kind of person. Those people must be jealous that Madam will marry you. That's why they come out like clowns, saying stupid things and doing stupid things."
After a long while, Jiang Wu, whose fingertips on his knees gradually closed, seemed to have regained his voice. His throat felt as if it had been pierced by burning charcoal. "You, believe me?"
"Of course I believe you, Madam," Yu Shu continued. "I heard from the kitchen a while ago that Madam has had a cough since the beginning of autumn, so they prepared some Sichuan Fritillary Bulb and Snow Pear Soup. Madam Zhang was supposed to deliver it, but she's not feeling well today."
Jiang Wu immediately understood her subtext. Even if she knew that she was telling the truth, she had to let others know.
"I made some Sichuan Fritillary and Snow Pear Soup for my husband to nourish his lungs." Jiang Wu was told by Gao Lang as soon as she came to the study with the Sichuan Fritillary and Snow Pear Soup.
"Madam, the master is out today and I'm afraid he won't be back until very late."
Jiang Wu was about to say that she would go in and wait for him when Gao Lang said, "Madam, why don't you go back first? When the master comes back, I will send someone to tell you right away. Is that okay?"
"Otherwise, if you keep Madam waiting for too long, she will definitely punish me when she returns."
Jiang Wu clearly remembered that he was at home, but he said he was not there. She thought that he just didn't want to see her. No matter what she thought in her heart, the only thing that came out of her tongue was "good".
And wasn't this exactly how they got along at the beginning? Why did she feel sad and uncomfortable in her heart?
After leaving Luomingxuan, a little maidservant who was unfamiliar to me came over. After bowing, she said, "Madam, the Crown Prince has come and wants to see you."
Jiang Wu, who hadn't heard this name for a long time, was stunned for a while before he remembered who he was.
Jiang Wu was afraid of He Shiyan, whether in dreams or in reality.
"Where is His Highness now?"
"His Highness is at the Lakeside Pavilion."
Thinking that the other party was definitely here to take advantage of his misfortune and make some sarcastic remarks, Jiang Wu was not in a hurry and just prepared to stroll over.
She didn't think her uncle's family would be so bold unless someone was behind them instructing them to bite people like dogs.
As for who the dog is, it will be among the three dogs anyway, and her husband will definitely take advantage of the situation and say that she is a fake pretending to be his identity, and then kick her out of the house without giving her a penny except for the divorce letter.
The money in her small treasury now all comes from the money she got from that big fool Ji Xiao, and from secretly going to the warehouse to take out some small things that she thought were not very valuable and selling them.
If she were to be driven away now, it would seem that even her money would not allow her to live a comfortable life with nothing to her but clothes to wear.
After realizing that someone was following her, Jiang Wu calmly took off the hairpin in her hair. When the man was about to catch up with her, she quickly turned around and raised her hand to stab him in the heart.
As soon as she raised her wrist, it was grabbed, and then the other party pulled her hard, and she fell directly into his arms. The unique grassland scent from the young man wrapped her tightly.
Who else but Ji Xiao could be so bold?
That day in his dream, he blurted out that he had jumped off a cliff. After he went to find himself, Jiang Wu came up with a guess that was so absurd that it was almost ridiculous.
In fact, the Ji Xiao in the dream is the real Ji Xiao, otherwise how to explain what he said when he hugged herself in the dream.
However, it is also very likely that she was dreaming. Since she was dreaming, no matter what she dreamed about, it should have been made up by her.
Ji Xiao, who had released her, raised his eyebrows, stretched out a half-bent finger and flicked her forehead, suppressing his pride and said, "Why, you are so happy to see me come to see you, aren't you?"
Of course it was, otherwise why were her eyes fixed on him? It must be because when she jumped off the cliff, she was thinking about what she would do if she would never see him again.
How could this stupid woman be so infatuated with me?
His forehead was suddenly hit, and the pain was so severe that Jiang Wu glared at him with his teeth bared. No, he was sick.
But when I saw the bone bracelet on his thumb, I suddenly remembered that he hadn’t given her the big gold bracelet he promised to give her last time!!!
Ji Xiao saw that she was hesitant to speak. As expected, she was just trying to confirm whether she had seen him alive. She couldn't even bear to take her eyes off him. Thinking of this, he coughed lightly with a warm feeling in his heart, "Don't you have anything you want to say to me?"
Jiang Wu thought about it and realized that there really was one.
He has owed her a gold bracelet for so long and hasn't returned it to her yet. Shouldn't she charge some interest?
"Just tell me, I will try my best to satisfy you as long as I can." When Ji Xiao thought of what she was going to say to him later, his ears turned red. He clenched his fist and coughed lightly, feeling a little uncomfortable. He thought his profile was more handsome, so he changed his profile to face her.
After thinking about it since his last visit, he felt that what she said was right.
A good cook cannot cook without rice, and a penny can make a hero fail.
He was the prince of Anyang Palace, a young general who was feared by the enemy on the battlefield. How could he really go to the dock to carry sandbags?
Seeing how easy it was to talk to him, Jiang Wu's eyes immediately lit up with a smile. She reached out and put the hairpin she had taken out of her hair back in place. Her cheeks flushed, and she leaned forward to look him in the eye with a rosy face. "Sir, do you think my makeup looks good today?"
The suddenly enlarged face of Furong in front of him struck his eyes so directly and forcefully that even his heart skipped a beat.
Ji Xiao always knew that her eyes were big, but now he discovered that her eyelashes were not only long but also very curled, and even her lips were particularly red, as if she had put on rouge.
In his dreams, he had kissed her hands and licked her feet, but he had never tasted her lips.
Suddenly, he felt that the sun was really strong today, and it made him feel steamy and dehydrated.
"Does my makeup look good today?" Jiang Wu didn't hear him speak for a long time, and her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he didn't intend to pay her back the interest?
Her words quickly pulled Ji Xiao back from the romantic thoughts in his mind. He then stretched out a finger and poked her face with a hint of disgust, "Why do you put such a thick layer of powder on your face? Won't it fall into the bowl when you eat?"
"…………" Jiang Wu, who was suddenly poked in the face, raised her hand to knock his finger away. Did he know how expensive the Pearl Jade Face Powder she used on her face was? Moreover, she only applied a thin layer, so how come it was like a wall when it got into his mouth!
Trying her best to convince herself that this wasn't a dream, and therefore she couldn't slap him, Jiang Wu took a deep breath, rubbed her handkerchief, and asked shyly, "What do you think of my hairstyle today?"
Ji Xiao looked at it carefully for a few seconds, then reached out and took a leaf from her hair, "There's a leaf stuck in your hair."
“…………”
Jiang Wu, who was so angry that she almost vomited blood, realized that she couldn't beat around the bush when talking to him, because he didn't understand even hints. So she pointed at the hairpin on her head and said with some gritted teeth, "Sir, do you think the hairpin on my head is a little plain? In fact, I really like the ruby peony gold hairpin you picked for me last time."
Ji Xiao heard what he said and raised his eyebrows proudly: "This prince also thinks that the hairpin on your head is too plain. If it were me, a gold hairpin inlaid with rubies would suit you better."
Jiang Wu immediately asked about her gold bracelet. Ji Xiao suddenly reached out and held her hand, looking at her with affection and heartache. "Wanwan, I know everything that happened before. Don't worry, I will never let you suffer."
Jiang Wu's eyes lit up. Could it be that he was planning to give her a complete set of gold headwear?
Then he became unusually serious and said solemnly, "Let's elope. This time I've prepared enough money for us to live on for two lifetimes."
