Chapter 163 Agreement Reached
"Anliu must have told you a lot about me, and I also heard that you recognized the wrong person." There was a bit more yearning in Jiang Lin's eyes, as if he could see into the distant past.
Qin Xiangnuan did not fall into the beauty he described. If it were the previous Qin Xiangnuan, she would probably be full of regrets at this moment, but the past was not the experience of Qin Xiangnuan today. Jiang Lin made a wrong move, and the corners of Qin Xiangnuan's mouth slowly curled up.
Jiang Lin paused, his lips curled up, "What's the difference between me and a beast?"
"?" Qin Xiangnuan had been keeping her eyes down, but when she heard this suddenly, she raised her eyelids. The strange question and the strange expression on her face unexpectedly revealed a sense of harmony.
Completely relaxed, Qin Xiangnuan answered seriously, "No one else can answer this question. When you asked it, you already had your own answer. You just want to seek recognition."
"You really don't look like a girl from seclusion." Jiang Lin's doubt never disappeared. He could never understand why a person could change so much. For a moment, he believed Qin Xiangnuan's previous explanation.
But it is also gradually being shaken, and now it is even more shaken, and the foundation is about to be pulled out. Just ask who has experienced what to compare themselves with animals. In any case, it is not what a person who has lived in seclusion for a long time should think.
“That’s not the case either.”
Jiang Lin raised his eyebrows and smiled, "That's what you said."
"Nuannuan, I don't believe you." Jiang Lin restrained his expression and said seriously, "I don't trust anyone."
"I understand." Qin Xiangnuan replied lightly, making it easier for Jiang Lin to say the following words.
Having made up his mind, Jiang Lin said everything except what he was not allowed to say.
"You set up such a big plan just for Gu Mingqi?" Qin Xiangnuan still had doubts about his words.
Jiang Lin shook his head. "This is just the first step. I'm sorry I can't tell you what happens next."
It was a bit over the line for a prince of Xiaoyaohou to want to compete with a prince, but Qin Xiangnuan didn't want to delve into it. He knew Jiang Lin's thoughts, and that was enough.
"Jiang Lin, I accept your explanation. I can't interfere with my father's choice in the future. But if you want our Qin family to do something, just state it directly. There's no need to set a trap to lure us into it."
What Qin Xiangnuan said was too pointless. Jiang Lin couldn't believe it. The other party had thought of so many ways to investigate him before, but now he could let go of all suspicions with just a few words?
As if she could see through his thoughts, Qin Xiangnuan promised again, "I will never pursue the matter before this moment. I just want to hear your promise. From now on, I will allow you to conceal it, but you cannot lie."
Jiang Lin had no other choice, no better choice, so he nodded.
Qin Xiangnuan stretched out a hand in front of Jiang Lin. Jiang Lin didn't know what she meant and showed a rare confusion. Qin Xiangnuan withdrew her hand, moved to his side, raised her chin, and said as if giving an order, "Hold out your hand!"
Jiang Lin did as he was told, and a superficial handshake and reconciliation was achieved.
Silence stretched between the two, and then they smiled at each other, "Prince Jiang, I hope we can get along happily in the future."
Jiang Lin also hoped so, "Qin Xiangnuan, I think I really like you."
"Thank you." Qin Xiangnuan responded calmly, "But I don't have such an idea."
After saying this, Qin Xiangnuan's mind flashed with an intimate scene between the two of them. She shook her head to make it disappear.
The carriage sped forward, but no letter from Qin Guang arrived until evening. Qin Xiangnuan was afraid that Liu would guess something bad, so she stayed by her side.
"Is something really wrong?" Old Madam Qin was a little uneasy at the moment because of them. "Nuannuan, don't lie to us. There is no weak person in our Qin family, even the women. Just tell us."
Old Madam Qin was a little excited, and it was difficult for Zou to hold her down. She wanted to say something comforting, but she felt uncertain.
"Nothing will happen." Qin Xiangnuan could only make empty promises, but she also firmly believed that Qin Guang was safe and sound. If something irreparable happened there, one of Jiang Lin's secret guards should show up.
Liu was worried about her husband's condition and did not speak for a long time. Qin Xiangnuan had no choice but to explain and assure him over and over again.
The noise here finally alarmed Qin Feng and Qin Yi who were on night patrol, and Qin Feng was sent up to inquire about the situation.
"Grandma, are you feeling unwell?" Qin Feng was quick-witted and didn't notice what everyone was thinking. He just saw his grandmother being supported and thought the problem was with her.
Qin Feng received a denial, turned his head and looked at Qin Xiangnuan, as if he suddenly understood, "With my little cousin here, I think nothing will go wrong, so why is that?"
Zou looked at Qin Feng helplessly, regretting that she had to use both hands to take care of Old Madam Qin but not his head.
"I'm just worried about your uncle's safety."
After Zou finished speaking, Qin Feng almost jumped up and asked a lot of questions in a hurry. It was Qin Xiangnuan's kick that calmed him down, but it also attracted Qin Yi.
"I couldn't hear clearly from outside just now. Who's in danger? Is it Big Brother?"
"No, it's just some worries of a woman's family. Go back."
Old Madam Qin seemed to realize that the situation was getting out of control, so she sent people away.
Qin Feng refused to leave and was pushed out by Zou. When Qin Yi got outside, he carefully said to his wife, "You can't hide this from us."
Zou agreed, "It's really nothing, it's just that my sister-in-law misses my brother too much."
After some talk, Zou returned to the carriage. Seeing that Old Madam Qin and Liu had calmed down, she felt a little relieved.
She almost stayed awake all night. After all, Madam Qin was old, and her body had some minor problems after staying up all night. This scared Liu, and she didn't dare to mention Qin Guang's matter again. She could only guess on her own.
Fortunately, good news came before noon, which made the female members of the Qin family completely relieved. With Qin Xiangnuan around, Old Lady Qin was fine after just a short rest. Also, because of the good news about her eldest son, her complexion looked a little better than before.
"Will I be able to see my husband tomorrow?" This was the nth time Liu had asked this question.
Every time, Qin Xiangnuan answered seriously and patiently: "Yes."
A wave of joy swept over the Qin family, and it seemed as if the horses were also encouraged. They arrived at the post station half a day earlier than expected.
It was true that she felt homesick when she was close to home. Liu ignored the advice and when she heard that the post station was still an hour away, she sat in front, thinking of seeing her husband for the first time. She also asked Qin Xiangnuan for rouge and powder and dressed up nicely.
"General Qin and Madam Qin have such a good relationship. Nuannuan, have you ever longed for such a relationship?"
They had arrived at the post station by now, and the carriages had all been taken away. Everyone was walking back and forth. Qin Xiangnuan turned sideways to look at the person who was at the back with her, and asked, "Can Prince Jiang show such affection?"
Jiang Lin obviously couldn't afford it, and Qin Xiangnuan wouldn't be a wife like Madam Qin. He couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle, "I made a slip of the tongue."
"It's good that you understand, my lord. There's no need to say such things in the future."
After the two of them talked it out, Qin Xiangnuan decided not to get close to her, and Jiang Lin should do the same, but he seemed to be increasingly unable to control himself.
