Chapter 128 She and I Have a Child Engagement
Jiang Xue shook her head gently at Fu Dong, signaling her to stay calm.
Then he turned to Jing Ye and said, "We have arrived. Your Majesty, please cover up for me for a while. No one here knows my true identity except He Zhilin."
Jing Ye said indifferently: "Isn't your real identity my niece?"
Jiang Xue was a little embarrassed and said, "That's it. Please get out of the car, Your Majesty."
"What should you call me?" Jing Ye raised his eyes and looked at her with amusement.
"......" Jiang Xue gritted her teeth, forced a smile, and said, "Uncle, get out of the car."
Only then did Jing Ye stand up contentedly.
Jiang Xue was speechless and followed silently behind.
After getting off the car, Jiang Xue found the door of Yawu Villa in front of her was closed. She looked at Fudong and motioned her to knock on the door.
Soon, the door was opened a crack from the inside, and a sleepy little face peeked out. It was Nanxing, the little medicine boy beside He Zhilin.
When Nan Xing saw Jiang Xue, she hurriedly opened the door completely, then walked forward respectfully and bowed to Jiang Xue, saying, "Third Sister Jiang."
Jiang Xue reached out her hand to help him, and asked with a smile: "I came to look for your master, why is the door closed in the broad daylight today? Is he out seeing patients again?"
Nan Xing nodded, then shook her head and said to Jiang Xue, "The master is out, but he is not seeing patients. The clinic that Third Sister Jiang asked Sister Su Yu to set up will open in a few days, so the master went to the clinic with Sister Su Yu to make arrangements. The master asked me to stay here, but I fell asleep."
Jiang Xue asked in confusion: "What happened at the clinic? Is it important? Why did Sister Su Yu go there too?"
Nan Xing scratched his head and said, "It seems that some high-ranking official wants to write an inscription and present a plaque to the gentleman. Sister Su Yu went to help deal with it."
Jiang Xue understood and nodded, saying, "Could you please go to the clinic for me? Tell your master that I have something to discuss with him. If you have time, please come back as soon as possible. I'll wait here."
Nan Xing thought about it, then nodded and said, "Will Sister Jiang San help me look after the house?"
Jiang Xue smiled with her eyebrows curved, and said in a gentle voice: "Yes, Xiao Nanxing, do you trust me to look after you?"
"Of course I trust my sister," Nan Xing said, "my sister is the most important friend of the master. Are these all my sister's friends? Do you need me to prepare some saliva-producing drinks to quench your thirst?"
"Don't bother Xiao Nanxing," Jiang Xue said softly, pointing at Xu Chong, "I'll hand this brother and the carriage over to you. You can have him drive you there, and I'll go in and wait for you."
Nan Xing bowed and thanked him in a proper manner, then left with Xu Chong.
Jiang Xue brought Jing Ye and Fu Dong in, and asked Fu Dong to get some tea. Then she took Jing Ye to sit in the corridor not far from the gate.
Jiang Xue tilted her head and looked at Jing Ye's mask, as if trying to find some clues from it.
The two of them sat in silence for a long while.
"Why don't you just go over there and look for him?" Jing Ye suddenly asked, "Why waste time waiting here?"
"If it were just me, I could wear a veil to cover myself up a little, and I could get through," Jiang Xue pursed her lips and pointed at his mask, "but Your Majesty, oh no, cousin, your mask is really too eye-catching. The clinic is located on the most prosperous street in Beijing. I'm afraid that if I go there with you, someone with ulterior motives will recognize us, and some anecdote will spread tomorrow."
Jing Ye turned a deaf ear to it.
Jiang Xue hinted, "Why don't you take off the mask, uncle? I'm the only one in Jijing who has seen your true face. The rest of us don't know your true identity at all."
"If I keep wearing this mask, it will be too conspicuous."
She blinked her big eyes and looked at Jing Ye innocently, with an expression that said "I'm really doing this for your own good."
Jing Ye looked at her pretentious appearance with cold eyes, sneered, and said: "Put away those little thoughts of yours, and don't make your uncle angry."
Jiang Xue had no choice but to hold her voice and keep pestering him.
"To be honest, my cousin has a very handsome face. Even I, who am used to seeing beautiful things, think it's beautiful. This mask is really an eyesore. Just take it off."
Jing Ye glanced at her and said, "This reason is not enough."
Jiang Xue said shamelessly: "Isn't that enough? Even I, who prides myself on being a beauty, feel ashamed when I see my cousin's true appearance. Isn't it a waste of God's gift for my cousin to hide it like this?"
Fu Dong had just gone to the kitchen to prepare some tea and was bringing it over. When he heard Jiang Xue's pretentious flattery, he was so startled that the tray in his hands almost dropped.
Jing Ye ignored Jiang Xue, stood up coldly, walked to the front of the courtyard and looked around.
"This courtyard is quite nice," he said. "Did you find this for that person? You are the grandson of the former chief of the Imperial Hospital. You have a special relationship with him."
Seeing that he was unmoved, Jiang Xue shook her head helplessly. Just as she was about to explain, she suddenly heard the sound of carriages outside the door.
Fu Dong turned his head and took a look, and said, "Your Highness, the people should be here."
Jiang Xue nodded, walked to Jing Ye and whispered, "Uncle, be careful with your words and actions."
The first person to walk into the door was a graceful figure in green. When she saw Jiang Xue, she giggled.
"Sister Jiang San, if I had known you were coming, I would not have gone out today and would have sat here to wait for you." Su Yu's voice was bright and gentle. He walked briskly to Jiang Xue, took her hand warmly, and started joking with her.
Jiang Xue smiled and said, "If I had known that Sister Su Yu valued me so much, I would have sent my invitation three days in advance, and then I would have come to Yawu Cottage to eat three meals before leaving."
Su Yu smiled even more happily, and patted the back of Jiang Xue's hand lovingly, saying, "Don't even mention three meals. If you want to come and eat, I'll be willing to ask Jiang Lou's chef to cook for you every day."
After saying that, she turned around and saw Jing Ye standing beside her, and exclaimed softly, "Isn't this the Mr. Ji from Wanbao Tower that day?"
Jiang Xue smiled and said, "I originally thought it was just a chance encounter, but I didn't expect that Master Ji came to the capital to look for his relatives. What a coincidence, he is actually - my cousin."
"What cousin?" He Zhilin heard Jiang Xue's words as soon as he stepped into the door. He couldn't help but frowned and looked at Jing Ye.
He didn't like this person in the first place. When he first met him in Wanbao Tower that day, he thought he was very rude and impolite.
What has he become now, a cousin? When did Empress Lu have cousins? At this age?
Jing Ye glanced back at He Zhilin indifferently, then casually looked away.
Seeing He Zhilin asking the question, Jiang Xue couldn't help but smile and said, "Yes, but they are distant relatives, so Brother Yan doesn't know them."
When Jing Ye heard the words "Brother Yan", the light in his eyes moved slightly.
Su Yu was the first to become puzzled and said, "Mr. Ji doesn't seem to be very old..."
"My family is young, and his family is older," Jiang Xue said with a smile, "and he is actually not young anymore. He wears this mask to cover up the spots on his face."
She leaned over to Su Yu and whispered in his ear, "If you refuse to admit your age, please don't expose me, sister."
Su Yu asked in a low voice: "But didn't you say it all?"
Jiang Xue: "After all, he is a relative of ours, so it's okay for me to talk about it. If someone else talks about it, he will beat them up."
Su Yu nodded thoughtfully and whispered, "Then you should stay away from him. I think he is a little dangerous."
Jing Ye looked at the two people who were whispering, especially Jiang Xue who was spreading rumors without batting an eyelid, and couldn't help laughing for a moment.
He suddenly felt a desire to tease, and then he opened his mouth and said in a deep voice: "To be honest with you two, we were actually engaged by our elders in our early years. I came back to Beijing this time to get married."
After saying this, he looked at the stunned Jiang Xue with a teasing look in his eyes.
