Chapter 112: A Jealous Person
On the day of returning home, the prince's carriage happened to meet the carriage of the Marquis of Jin'an on the road.
Prince Fu asked Cui Jingshu to go first. He went over to say hello and then rode away on his horse.
Cui Jingshu lifted the curtain and saw that the person he was greeting was Qi Wuhan. She was so angry that she threw the curtain aside and asked the coachman to drive the carriage over.
"I have no use for the Ferghana horses that my father gave me some time ago. Except for the ones given to my brother the Crown Prince, my third brother and my sixth brother, you can take the rest." Prince Fu said generously.
Qi Wuhan looked at his clear and honest face, his eyes looking at something, "Your Highness should keep it for yourself. I don't have the spare money to help you raise a horse."
"You don't have to pay, I'll pay for it, okay?" Prince Fu muttered in his heart that he was stingy, and when he was glanced at by Qi Wuhan, he immediately turned his head and looked away, looking guilty.
Hearing the sound of car wheels behind him, Prince Fu turned around and saw Cui Jingshu coming over. He suddenly felt a little depressed. When Cui Jingshu lifted the car curtain and revealed her face, he immediately hid behind Qi Wuhan, as if using the latter as a shield.
Seeing that Qi Wuhan didn't salute her, Cui Jingshu said angrily, "I am the princess now, how dare you disrespect me?" Prince Fu hid behind Qi Wuhan and defended him, "How is he disrespectful to you? This is on the street, don't make a scene here."
Cui Jingshu was so angry that her eyes were almost blazing with fire. She wanted to pierce Prince Fu's eyes into a sieve. "I am your princess after all, and you actually help outsiders humiliate me. Just wait, I will go back and burn all your flowers and plants—"
"You dare!" Prince Fu roared, his eyes wide open with anger, looking like he was ready to fight to the death.
Cui Jingshu was frightened by his furious look, then raised the round fan in her hand and smashed it hard. Prince Fu felt his eyes go dark, covered his forehead with a cry, and pointed at Cui Jingshu's nose and cursed, "You shrew, I'm going to divorce you!"
Cui Jingshu took off the bracelet in her hand and smashed it hard. Prince Fu was grabbed by the arm by Qi Wuhan and dodged to the side. The bracelet missed and fell to the ground, breaking into eight pieces.
"Go back by yourself. I won't accompany you any more, humph!"
Prince Fu was so angry that he rode away, leaving Cui Jingshu standing there with her teeth itching with rage.
Qi Wuhan pulled aside the curtain and got on the carriage. After giving an order, the black-armored guards drove away first.
Although Jiang Lan did not get off the carriage, she heard everything that happened outside.
When Prince Fu came to say hello, Qi Wuhan told her that it was cold outside and asked her to stay in the carriage.
If she had gotten off the carriage at that time, Cui Jingshu would probably have continued to cause trouble for her.
"I think the Fifth Prince will have a hard time in the future." Qi Wuhan praised Jiang Lan again, "Fortunately, my wife is well-educated and virtuous. Being able to marry such a beautiful, gentle and lovely fairy is truly a blessing for me in eight lifetimes~"
"Slippery tongue." Jiang Lan said coquettishly, then sighed softly and said, "I don't know how the Fifth Prince will live his life from now on. He used to be the carefree prince, but now he is not carefree at all..."
Qi Wuhan curled his lips and said, "Don't worry, with his personality, he won't let himself get hurt. At most, he'll make a big deal out of it, and then we can just live our own lives in the future."
Jiang Lan murmured, "If only the emperor had not granted this marriage."
"Why does Xiaolan'er care so much about the Fifth Prince?"
Those peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, their gaze gentle and playful, just like a bewitching male vixen.
“.…..”
Jiang Lan almost forgot that this guy was a jealous person...
"By the way, you haven't told me what your relationship is with the young man I met at the Lantern Festival last time?" she changed the subject.
"Are you talking about that old bachelor?" Qi Wuhan asked casually.
Jiang Lan nodded, thinking that their relationship must not be very good. Although he and Ye Rushui often insulted each other, she had never heard him call the other an old bachelor, which sounded a bit unethical.
"That's a sinister and cunning scorpion," he whispered in her ear, "and he has a homosexual habit."
Jiang Lan blushed. She had never thought that he would have such a fetish. Suddenly, she thought of something and looked at Qi Wuhan with a subtle and complicated look. She asked hesitantly, "He...could he like you..."
Qi Wuhan's mouth twitched, and a chill ran through his heart. If it were anyone else, he would have cursed long ago. After calming down for a moment, he smiled and said, "He likes the two guards by his side. He takes them with him wherever he goes."
I also like two...
In her mind, Jiang Lan classified this person as someone to be kept at a distance.
This is also the effect Qi Wuhan hopes to achieve. He doesn't want his Xiaolan to be interested in the poisonous scorpion.
…..
After the carriage stopped at the gate of the Shangshu Mansion, Qi Wuhan got off the carriage first and then reached out to help Jiang Lan down.
"I wonder if big brother is feeling better now?" Jiang Lan looked at the gate with worry in her eyes.
"It's okay." Qi Wuhan comforted.
The black-armored guards who stayed in the Shangshu Mansion yesterday sent back news that Jiang Shen was ill.
Jiang Cheng asked someone to ask Dr. Liu to take a look. Dr. Liu said it was a cold, but the symptoms were mild. He would be fine after taking a few medicines and resting for a few days.
After the butler led the two into the mansion, Qi Wuhan went to pay a visit to his father-in-law Jiang Cheng first, and Jiang Lan went over first.
Jiang Shen was reading a book in the room and occasionally coughed. When Jiang Lan walked to the door, she heard a cough. When she entered the room, she saw that the person was still reading. She immediately hurried over and took the book away.
"Brother, why don't you take a good rest?" Jiang Lan frowned, looking serious.
"I'm fine." Jiang Shen replied gently.
Jiang Lan saw that his face was a little flushed, which looked abnormal. She reached out and touched his forehead. Jiang Shen's face turned even redder, and he felt a little embarrassed.
Jiang Lan still looked serious. After retracting her hand, she touched her forehead again. It was indeed a little hot. Her expression became even more serious.
"Big brother is not allowed to read for the next two days."
This sentence happened to be heard by the person who walked in.
"Brother, you should listen to Lan'er. Take a good rest these two days. It's not too late to see what happens after you get well." Qi Wuhan walked over and stood in the same camp with Jiang Lan.
Jiang Cheng also said, "Your health is more important. With your knowledge, it won't matter if you miss a few days of reading. The most important thing is to take good care of yourself and don't miss this year's Spring Examination."
Jiang Lan frowned slightly, not liking to hear this last sentence. In her father's heart, fame and honor always come first.
"Don't worry, father. I will do my best." Jiang Shen bowed.
Jiang Cheng nodded with satisfaction, told him to have a good rest, and left after giving him a few more instructions.
As soon as Jiang Cheng left, Jiang Rui slipped in. He was at home today as school was on holiday.
Qi Wuhan knew what he wanted to ask, so he took him out and talked to him alone for a while. Jiang Rui left happily.
"What did you say to fourth brother? Why is he so happy?" Jiang Lan walked over and asked.
Qi Wuhan smiled and said, "I said I would arrange for him to serve in the palace in two days. Let him prepare well."
"He won't cause you any trouble after entering the palace, right?" Jiang Lan was a little worried. If Concubine Zhen knew Jiang Rui's identity, it would probably cause big trouble.
Qi Wuhan lowered his head and whispered something to her in her ear. Jiang Lan smiled and said, "I hope he can study hard."
In order to prevent Jiang Shen from peeking, Jiang Lan had all the books in the house put away and planned to stay in the mansion until he recovered from his illness.
Qi Wuhan naturally stayed there as well, and asked someone to bring the chef from the mansion over.
The next day, Jiang Shen's symptoms became a little more serious.
Jiang Cheng asked someone to invite Doctor Liu over. After taking the patient's pulse, Doctor Liu said that there was nothing serious and prescribed another prescription.
Jiang Lan was afraid that some illness she had left behind had relapsed, so she discussed it with Qi Wuhan, and the two of them took Jiang Shen to the medicine house.
After taking Jiang Shen's pulse, Ye Rushui said that he was worrying too much and suggested that he find some fun to relax.
Jiang Lan couldn't think of anything fun to do for a moment, so Qi Wuhan quietly suggested to her, "How about letting Big Brother listen to some music and drink some wine?" Jiang Lan replied with a smile, "Okay, then you can come along and find some fun too, and let Miss Hongluan dance for you again." Qi Wuhan immediately changed his suggestion, "How about taking Big Brother for a boat ride on the lake? I think the weather is nice today."
Jiang Lan thought this was a good idea, so she said to Jiang Shen, "Brother, let's go boating."
"It's better to rest for the next two days." Ye Rushui said.
“.…..”
“.…..”
In the evening, when the two came to see Jiang Shen, they saw him standing alone in the yard looking at the moon, looking very worried.
"Brother." Jiang Lan came over and called out. Jiang Shen turned to look at her with a gentle look on his face. Jiang Lan joked, "Brother, are you afraid you won't pass the exam?"
Jiang Shen looked up at the moon again and said slowly, "I was admitted to the academy when I was seven years old, and I can only come back once every three years." He said this with a look of apology, "You must have suffered a lot of injustices in the mansion alone."
Jiang Lan's nose felt sore, she blinked again, shook her head, and said with a smile: "I am not wronged. I have my elder brother and my husband. No one dares to bully me."
Jiang Shen smiled gently and said seriously, "I will never let you suffer any injustice again in the future."
Jiang Lan nodded and said, "I believe in you, big brother."
......
On the way back, the moon shone quietly on the two of them, like a veil.
"What are you thinking about?" Qi Wuhan asked with a gentle smile.
"Did big brother know something?" Jiang Lan felt a little uneasy.
She had never told her elder brother about Zhang poisoning her, but from what he said to her just now, she felt that he seemed to know everything.
Qi Wuhan comforted her not to think too much and said he would get to the bottom of the matter.
"Don't worry, Big Brother is upright and will not take detours."
"Um."
He took her hand and walked back slowly in the moonlight.
