Chapter 562 Doesn’t He Like Me at All?
Unfortunately, Deputy General Cheng is a very straight man and can’t understand Jiang Wan’s tactful words.
"Okay, thank you, princess."
He turned away feeling rather lost, looking somewhat like someone who had been heartbroken.
Jiang Wan suddenly felt a headache, and soon she had no time to think about it.
Upon learning that she had returned, Chen Ce immediately brought Mrs. Chen for a follow-up visit.
Compared to her previous crazy appearance, Madam Chen has recovered a lot now, and her smile is much more peaceful.
"Princess, please take a look at my wife."
"Okay, you go out first."
Madam Chen waved her hand at Chen Ce, "The princess and I have something private to discuss."
Chen Ce smiled dotingly, turned around and left, leaving the space for them.
Jiang Wan felt Madam Chen's pulse and was not surprised by her recovery.
"You have recovered well these days."
"Thanks to the princess for finding that talkative widow."
Madam Chen said apologetically, "She was trying to sow discord between us. It was only after I got better that I realized her ill intentions.
Fortunately, she got her comeuppance. After her reputation was ruined, her family members were afraid that she would be a burden, so they immediately married her off to a reckless man."
"And then?"
Jiang Wan always felt that Chen Ce was not such a kind person, she was just getting married.
As expected, Madam Chen sighed, "She is indeed unlucky, marrying a beast.
The man beat her when he was drunk, and I heard a few days ago that he was beaten to death.”
Jiang Wan:!!!
She somewhat suspected that Chen Ce had helped her choose this second marriage partner.
Madam Chen was still talking to herself, "Fortunately, the princess discovered it early.
She has a bad fate. If she really becomes my husband's concubine, it will also cause unrest in our family."
"Don't think about it now. I hope you'll be well again when I return from Kyoto."
Jiang Wan smiled and started writing a prescription, "I need to change the prescription too."
"princess."
Mrs. Chen suddenly felt shy, and she whispered, "Do you think it's too lonely for the Chen family to have only Wenhao as a boy?
At the time, my husband was the only one in our family, so we had no one to help us when we were exiled.
So I want to give birth to a few more children for my husband. Will this disease affect that?"
Jiang Wan frowned and advised, "I suggest you don't think about this now.
You were in a very bad state during your exile, so if you want to have a baby, you need to take care of yourself."
"All right."
Madam Chen stroked her belly with a look of disappointment, "Then let's wait until the princess returns from Kyoto."
"Wouldn't it be nice to have two kids?"
Jiang Wan actually couldn’t quite understand the ancient idea of having many children and being blessed. After all, giving birth to a child was like going through the gates of hell for a woman.
Giving birth to too many children can cause serious damage to a woman’s body.
Mrs. Chen pursed her lips and explained, “It’s good, but Wen En has to get married eventually.
If there are more brothers in the family, they can protect her better in the future."
Jiang Wan: ...
She considered and said, "This matter is not urgent. You have to discuss it with Chen Ce."
"Yes, the princess is right to remind you."
Madam Chen took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, with something wrapped in the middle.
"Princess, you have saved me time and again, I am truly grateful, this is what I took out from the pocket of my clothes when I was sorting out old things these days.
It must be a relic left by my parents, or a fragment of the treasure map."
Jiang Wan:!!!
Jiang Wan never expected that Madam Chen actually had a piece of the treasure map in her hand.
She was in a very complicated mood, "This... is a bit expensive, I'll give you some silver."
“No, no.”
Madam Chen smiled sincerely, "Princess, you have saved me more than once. This treasure map is just a fake thing. I still feel that I can't show it off."
“It’s good stuff.”
Jiang Wan was delighted. No matter whether there was a treasure or not, she... found it interesting.
In the end, Madam Chen confiscated the silver given by Jiang Wan and went home with a prescription.
When they heard that Jiang Wan was leaving, wave after wave of people came to see her off, some of them out of consideration for Song Jiuyuan's face.
As for the people that Jiang Wan had helped before, she patiently chatted with them one by one.
After finishing all these, Qiu Niang and Qiu Yan also prepared everything they would need for the journey.
There were two full carriages, Jiang Wan felt a little embarrassed, "Qiu Niang, we don't need so many things.
Besides, the prince will also prepare some food, and too much will be troublesome."
"What the palace prepared belongs to the palace, and this is what I prepared for the young lady."
What Qiu Niang thought was that these were the girl's confidence, and she couldn't let outsiders think that the girl was easy to bully.
"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work, Qiuniang."
Jiang Wan didn't refuse in the end, thinking that after she set off she could quietly put some of them into the space where they would last.
After resting for a night and about to set off, Qi Chu suddenly came to find her.
"Sister Jiang, I won't go with you. I'll come to Kyoto later."
"Since you are going back to Kyoto, why don't you come with us?"
Jiang Wan was a little worried about Qi Chu. It was not safe for a little girl like her to travel alone.
"I need to go back home first."
Qi Chu blushed, "Song Jiuchi and I haven't decided on our marriage yet, so I have to go back and inform the elders first."
"That's true."
After hearing this, Jiang Wan actually felt that what she said made sense.
"Then be careful on the road."
"Yes, I know."
Qi Chu looked a little disappointed. Jiang Wan had a hunch that something was wrong. "Why, you don't look happy?"
"Sister Jiang, Song Jiuchi never mentioned marrying me. Does he not like me at all?"
Qi Chu has always been carefree, and Jiang Wan rarely sees her so worried.
"Didn't you express your feelings clearly before?"
"Um."
Qi Chu nodded, "Since he knew he was going back to Kyoto, he looked depressed.
I suspect he is hiding something from me, Sister Jiang, do you think he has a lover in Kyoto?"
"How is that possible?!"
Jiang Wan remembered that Song Jiuchi was very small when he first came here. Could it be that people in ancient times were so precocious?
"Anyway, there's something wrong with him."
Qi Chu snorted, "Sister Jiang, please help me pay attention to his movements.
If any girl appears near him, he must be informed immediately."
As she said this, she even wrote down her home address, for fear of missing Jiang Wan's letter.
"good."
Jiang Wan also secretly hopes to become a sister-in-law with someone as easy to get along with as Qi Chu.
After finally coaxing the girl into submission, Qi Chu went straight home from her place.
So much so that when Jiang Wan and the others set out the next day, Song Jiuchi was still confused.
"Let's go, what are you still looking at?"
Song Jiuyuan twitched his lips speechlessly. This time they returned to the capital with great fanfare.
The Song family and Jiang Wan had a total of four carriages, and Chao En and his family also had a carriage.
The woman rode in the carriage while the man rode on horseback. At this moment, Song Jiuchi was reluctant to leave.
"ChuChu said she would come and see me off."
"Don't wait."
Jiang Wan opened the carriage curtain and poked her head out. "She wants to go home first."
As she spoke, she threw a letter to Song Jiuchi, which Qi Chu had asked her to pass on to Song Jiuchi.
