"Your Highness, it's broad daylight, wake up." Jiang Hua kindly reminded him, "It's getting late, farewell."
"Your Highness, yesterday that Miss Jiang slapped our young lady for no reason, and her face is all swollen."
After Jiang Hua left, An Xinya's personal maid complained.
"Xinya, why didn't you tell me? It hurts me to see you like this!" Zhou Yingxuan stroked An Xinya's face with a pained expression.
“Brother Yingxuan, Jiang Hua is my father’s daughter, so I should call her sister. Unfortunately, she probably doesn’t want to be associated with our Duke Anguo’s mansion, so she hit me in a fit of anger.”
"It's okay, Brother Yingxuan. As long as Jiang Hua can calm down, I'll do anything." An Xinya seemed to have suffered a lot of grievances, and her eyes reddened as she spoke.
Zhou Yingxuan was easily swayed by this. He couldn't bear to see An Xinya looking so pitiful, and a protective instinct welled up inside him.
"How can that be? I will never let anyone bully you, Xinya!"
...
What are you doing here?
Jiang Hua got off the carriage and saw Jiang Xingzhou, Bai Heng, and Jiang Xun.
"Uncle."
Jiang Xun nodded: "They both said they'd wait for you to come back."
"Huahua, how did your trip to the palace go today?" Bai Heng quickly came up to ask, and Jiang Xingzhou was not to be outdone.
"You've been standing for so long, come in and sit down."
Neither of them showed any sign of leaving until dinner time.
"Are you two staying here tonight?" Jiang Xun coughed lightly, looking at Jiang Xingzhou and Bai Heng.
"Aren't you going back?" Jiang Xingzhou asked Bai Heng.
"Aren't you still not back yet?" Bai Heng retorted.
"Then let's not go. There are plenty of rooms in the Jiang residence." Jiang Hua made the decision for the two of them directly.
"You two?" Jiang Xun's probing gaze darted back and forth between the two, finally settling on Jiang Hua.
After dinner, it was already dark. Jiang Hua, who was taking a walk in the yard to digest her food, was suddenly pulled into a strong embrace.
"I've been waiting for you for so long, but you haven't taken me to heart at all."
Jiang Hua felt Jiang Xingzhou's familiar presence and strong heartbeat, then pushed him away without hesitation.
"It's a bit hot."
It's not that she's spoiling the mood, it's just really hot this time of year.
"How could I not have you in my heart? I always keep you in the deepest part of my heart."
However, the place on the tip of her heart is a bit too big.
"Then when will you give me a formal title?" Jiang Xingzhou pressed.
"I heard from A-Yi that women can have multiple wives and concubines. Has Huahua taken a fancy to Bai Heng?"
"Besides me, who else is dearest to you?" Jiang Xingzhou asked, holding Jiang Hua's hand with a half-smile.
“Ah Yi has been reading too many storybooks.” Jiang Hua squeezed his large, warm hand in return.
"Really?"
"Otherwise what? Can you accept me having two women on the left and one on the right?"
"Um--!"
The next second, Jiang Xingzhou bit Jiang Hua's lips and kissed her hard, while also pulling her tightly into his arms.
Feeling that Jiang Hua was also responding to his kiss, Jiang Xingzhou was overjoyed and hugged her even tighter.
When Jiang Hua pushed Jiang Xingzhou away, her lips were completely red from the kiss, making them look incredibly tempting.
"If you like it, it's not impossible." Jiang Xingzhou pulled her into his arms again and whispered in her ear, as if he had made up his mind.
Jiang Hua was stunned by what Jiang Xingzhou suddenly said.
Huh?
Forget it, let's leave it at that. Let's deal with these mundane matters first before thinking about romance.
Her emotions affected the speed at which she drew her sword.
After Jiang Xingzhou escorted Jiang Hua back to her room, a white figure emerged from behind the moon archway, her eyes filled with disappointment, her clenched fists suggesting resentment.
The next day, the breakfast table was quiet. Apart from Jiang Xingzhou, Jiang Xun and Bai Heng both had heavy expressions.
"Uncle, did you two not get enough rest last night?" Jiang Hua put down her bowl and asked the two of them.
"The cabbage that hadn't even had a chance to be cared for was eaten by a pig." Jiang Xun put down the bowl in his hand, left with these words, and departed.
Jiang Hua's gaze fell on Bai Heng again.
"It's nothing, it was probably just too hot last night."
"It's been a bit hot these past few days, but the weather will cool down after this period," Jiang Hua nodded and said.
"Huahua, what do you think about us getting married once we return from the border?"
“It just so happens that the Bai residence and the Jiang residence are not far apart, so you can stay wherever you want,” Bai Heng suddenly said.
"After dealing with the matters in Xujia Village, I plan to leave the capital."
Jiang Hua had no intention of staying in the capital, so she planned to travel around after taking revenge, but ultimately she would stay in Shili Village.
“After you leave the capital, A-Yi and I will miss you.” Jiang Xingzhou’s smile vanished instantly.
“Isn’t Ayi here with you? All good things must come to an end. Ayi has grown up and has his own things to do.”
"I'm starving! I'm starving!"
The four people, who had been missing for about ten days, filed in, plopped down, and grabbed the steamed buns on the table to eat in large bites.
What are you doing here?
The heavy atmosphere that had just begun to settle between the three of them was broken by these few people. Jiang Hua looked at the group of people who looked like hungry wolves, and the corner of her mouth twitched involuntarily.
"Don't even mention it, we almost starved to death."
"We've been invited for 'tea' by Ye Shaoling these past few days," Qingyue said irritably.
"Then what?"
"Then the few of us turned the entire Ye family upside down, and incidentally we also took care of Ye Shaoling's thing." Qingyue said, picking up another bun and taking a bite.
"He still hasn't given up on you and wants to use these two people from the Poison Sect to get back at you. How ridiculous."
As Qingyue finished speaking, Jiang Hua, Jiang Xingzhou, and Bai Heng all looked at Lin Zhi and Lin Feng.
“How could we possibly do something like cursing someone after putting down our bowl?” Lin Feng quickly shook his head in denial.
“I also gave him a newly made chronic poison.”
After breakfast, the four of them went back to their rooms to rest. Jiang Hua saw Bai Heng and Jiang Xingzhou out the door, and just as she turned to close the door, before she even reached the first courtyard, she heard a knock on the door.
"Could it be that the Regent and Young Master Bai have returned?" Granny Jiang murmured.
To everyone's surprise, when Granny Jiang opened the door, there was a man standing there, one of Zhou Yingxuan's men.
"Miss Jiang, our Crown Prince is waiting for your arrival at Guangfu Restaurant."
"I'm not going," Jiang Hua replied without hesitation.
"This..." The subordinate was somewhat embarrassed, but Jiang Hua had already gone far away, so he could only go back the way he came to report.
Jiang Hua stayed in the space until noon, when Granny Jiang knocked on the door and said that Zhou Yingxuan had arrived.
