Chapter 1037: Jealousy of a Child
Huangfu Shang did not answer and left the princess's mansion.
As long as he can ascend to a high position in the future, what does it matter if he becomes the enemy of the entire dynasty?
Not only did he want to fight against the dynasty, he also wanted the most outstanding princess to submit to him.
When they returned to the study, Jiang Xue was talking to several secret guards: "Go to Tianshui immediately, use any method you can to get as close to Princess An Ning as possible.
I hope you can protect her in secret, and if she is in danger, you must do your best to rescue her."
After all, she is in a foreign country, and if she really cannot be rescued, there is nothing that can be done.
Several secret guards took the order and left.
Jiang Xue had already noticed Xiao Zhan at the door. After the secret guards left, she slowly walked towards him and asked, "Did you send Huangfu Shang away?"
Xiao Zhan nodded in confirmation: "I guess he will leave the capital in the next few days."
"That's good."
Jiang Xue said: "I have never met anyone more annoying than him. I feel upset every time I see him. It's good that he is gone now."
"Don't mention this person again."
Xiao Zhan changed the subject: "Xiaoxue, are you hungry or sleepy now?"
"I'm not really hungry, just a little sleepy."
Jiang Xue touched her belly and smiled: "It seems that Yaoyao will definitely be a lazy bug in the future."
"She's lazy if she wants to be lazy. She's our daughter. She's naturally noble and doesn't need to be too diligent."
Jiang Xue laughed: "Oh, you've become a girl-protecting maniac so quickly?
Obviously, being lazy is not a good thing for others, but in your opinion, it is natural for our daughter to be lazy. I feel like my position in your heart is going to be lost. "
Xiao Zhan kissed her cheek: "I am a crazy protector of my daughters and a crazy dote on my wife. You are all the treasures of my life, no one can compare to you."
"I don't believe it."
Jiang Xue said, “Before, when I was too lazy to attend the morning court, you always bothered me.
Now I think it's normal for Yaoyao to be lazy, so you plan to treat her better than me. You used to say that I am the most important person, but now it seems that you are lying to me. "
Xiao Zhan shook his head helplessly: "Why are you still competing with the child for favor?"
Jiang Xue was not to be outdone: "Didn't you also feel jealous for your child?"
Xiao Zhan was speechless when his pain point was touched.
He had indeed felt jealous of the children, and had even felt similarly toward Jiang Heng and Jiang Ke.
Jiang Xue smiled slyly when she saw this: "Now you have nothing to say."
"It's my fault."
Xiao Zhan confessed: "Xiaoxue, I promise you that you can be as relaxed and comfortable as her in the future, no, even more relaxed than her."
Jiang Xue couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Yun Che, you are such a treasure."
But she knew in her heart that laziness was not a quality to be admired, and neither she nor her daughter should set it as a goal.
She kissed his chin gently: "Tell me, I am the girl you love most."
Xiao Zhan looked at her affectionately and said gently: "You are the girl I love most, forever."
Huangfu Shang quickly set out on his journey home with Jiang Yuyin and Wuyou.
Although Jiang Xue was a little reluctant to leave her sister, she knew that in this situation, expressing too much emotion would not be beneficial to the overall situation.
After leaving the capital, the group spent the night in a small town.
The next morning, Jiang Yuyin discovered that Huangfu Shang was missing, but the people accompanying him acted calmly, as if he had never left, and continued to move forward as planned.
Her curiosity was piqued.
Despite her repeated inquiries, no one responded.
Where did Huangfu Shang go?
Realizing that she could not get an answer from her companions, Jiang Yuyin stopped asking questions and instead hugged Wuyou tightly.
She knew that she was just a pawn and shouldn't have tried to find out Huangfu Shang's whereabouts.
In fact, without his company, this journey made her and Wuyou more comfortable.
Wuyou seemed to understand his mother's thoughts and gave her an innocent smile.
That smile was so pure and endearing that she couldn't help but kiss his little face.
"Wuyou, mom will take you home to see dad."
Hearing this, Wuyou's smile became even brighter, as charming as his father.
Thinking of the upcoming reunion with her family, a trace of worry flashed in Jiang Yuyin's eyes.
This time, the three of them were able to reunite, but what would the future hold? The road ahead was unclear and full of unknowns.
Recently, Fu Dong always recalls the scene of releasing lotus lanterns with Jiang Xiaoan during the Lantern Festival in his free time.
That night, his face was filled with a happy smile, and his already bright eyes were full of brilliance, as well as her reflection.
Whenever she thought of this moment, her heart was filled with a special emotion.
Even though she realized it slowly, she vaguely realized that she might have fallen in love with him from the stories about talented men and beautiful women that she read in her spare time.
As this feeling gradually became clearer, Fudong, a girl who was fearless but in awe and loyalty to Her Royal Highness the Princess, began to feel uneasy.
She originally thought that she would no longer be moved by love after Qingfeng's death, but she never expected that she would fall in love again, and with such an unreliable person like Jiang Xiaoan.
As a friend, Jiang Xiaoan is pretty good; but if we were to become lovers, the mere thought of it is scary.
However, the most worrying thing happened.
Just when she was troubled by this sudden relationship, Jiang Xiaoan came to her house and asked to see her specifically, not for the princess nor for the prince consort.
At first, Fu Dong had no plans to meet him, but when he heard that Jiang Xiaoan seemed extremely anxious, as if something important happened, he had to go and find out what was going on.
As soon as he showed up, Jiang Xiaoan came up to him in a hurry: "Commander Fu Dong, I need your help."
"What is it?" she asked.
"Let's talk about it on the way." Jiang Xiaoan replied.
After leaving the princess's mansion, Fu Dong couldn't help but ask, "What exactly is it? If it's illegal, I can't help you."
"You are someone close to the princess. How dare I let you do something illegal?"
Jiang Xiaoan explained: "Actually, I was cheated by a herbal medicine dealer yesterday. I hope you can help me get justice."
Fu Dong was a little surprised: "With your knowledge of medicinal materials, how could you be deceived?"
Jiang Xiaoan said awkwardly: "I have been looking for some rare medicinal herbs recently. Yesterday, I believed someone who could help me find them. But after I paid the deposit, the person disappeared."
"It seems that the deposit is quite a big amount?" Otherwise Jiang Xiaoan wouldn't have come to her so embarrassedly.
"Rare medicinal materials are indeed hard to come by, so the deposit is not small," he replied.
"How much exactly?"
"The total is 10,000 taels of silver, and I have already paid 80% of it."
"You actually paid 80% first?" Fu Dong shook his head and sighed: "Jiang Xiaoan, are you confused?"
"I did this because I didn't want to miss out on rare medicinal herbs!"
Fu Dong spread his hands and said bluntly: "Given your easily deceived nature, I think you should just accept your fate and treat it as a lesson learned."
"That's eight thousand taels of silver!"
Jiang Xiaoan's face was full of regret: "Commander Fudong, you are well-informed. Help me find that person. After the money is recovered, I will give you half."
