Chapter 342 Dad, what nonsense are you talking about?
The young princess seemed to take a while to react before jumping out from behind a snowdrift and shouting excitedly.
"The general is back! Do you see him? It's my general!"
Then, with his hands on his hips, he walked smugly toward Jiang Nuanzhi.
"Hey, the general didn't even acknowledge you just now, and you still claim to be his wife! Hahaha, I knew you two were lying to me. Your marriage is a sham, Xie Liangchen said it all just now! I heard it all!"
As he said this, he almost exaggeratedly looked up to the sky and let out a long howl, then coughed twice after laughing.
After choking on several breaths of cold air, she frowned and looked at Jiang Nuanzhi: "But you've been taking care of his child for so long without saying a word to him, that's really going too far."
"Hey, why don't you stop following him and come with me instead?"
As the young princess spoke, her bright eyes looked at Jiang Nuanzhi with anticipation.
His gaze unconsciously fell on Jiang Nuanzhi's hand. He could reach it with his own hand. Should he slip and touch it? To see if it would really be okay if he touched it.
Jiang Nuanzhi glanced at the young princess staring at her and secretly twitched the corner of her mouth: "What's the benefit of following you?"
The young princess was taken aback, then patted her chest and said, "Follow me, and you'll definitely live a life of luxury! Don't you like money? How about I give you this amount a month?"
Jiang Nuanzhi glanced at her and saw that she held up five fingers, then asked, "How many?"
I wanted to ask if it was fifty taels, but I held back. This little princess doesn't play by the rules.
"Five hundred taels, how about that?" the young princess asked earnestly.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nuanzhi frowned.
"Is that not allowed?" The young princess frowned. "How about I give you a thousand taels?"
Jiang Nuanzhi was truly stunned. A thousand taels?!
She's only earned a few thousand taels of silver since she came to this desolate place.
Even Li Rong, the last time he sent money, didn't even have a thousand taels of silver!
Jiang Nuanzhi had never seen such a wealthy woman before. She was practically a living god of wealth.
Unable to resist, he looked at her with sparkling eyes: "Really?"
The young princess patted her chest and said, "Absolutely! When the time comes, the general and I will live happily together, and you can help us take care of the children and do the things you did before. Isn't that much better than following a penniless guy like Xie Liangchen?"
After thinking for a moment, the young princess added, "No matter what you choose, don't choose Xie Liangchen. His family can't even afford meat."
Xie Liangchen: "???"
His face turned pale and then flushed. The next second, he felt a piercing pain in his fingers and gasped for breath, letting out a soft groan.
Jiang Nuanzhi: "Ahem, sorry, I used a bit of force."
Finally, after draining the blood, he said, "That's all done. Now feel if it hurts anymore."
Xie Liangchen was surprised, then moved around a bit: "It really doesn't hurt much anymore."
Jiang Nuanzhi nodded, and then, while putting away the silver needles, she smiled and beckoned to the little princess beside her: "Little beauty, come here and tell me, where did you get so much silver?"
Xie Liangchen couldn't help but frown. He glanced at Jiang Nuanzhi and inexplicably felt that this woman seemed to have fallen for him. She looked like she really wanted to go with him.
"Hey, Jiang Nuanzhi!"
Jiang Nuanzhi looked over in surprise: "Huh?"
Xie Liangchen pursed his lips: "Come here, I want to talk to you alone."
Meanwhile, Li Rong entered his old house. Instantly, a chill rose from the soles of his feet to his brain.
“General, is this your and Doctor Jiang’s room? There are signs that the doors and windows have been pried open!” a soldier behind him said coldly.
"Everything in this house is gone, so it's been uninhabited for some time. General, could something have happened?"
The soldiers all looked grim.
Li Rong slapped his forehead inwardly: "I was wrong. Ah Nuan and the others must have moved to the new house."
The house was almost completely bare; even the mat on the heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed) was gone, as were the pots, pans, and stove—everything was gone, even Dahei's usual dog bowl. If something had really happened, it wouldn't be so clean.
Without saying a word, Li Rong led everyone out again and hurried to the new house.
Actually, when he entered the village, he had already seen his own tall house, but he never thought he would be able to move in so soon.
He rushed out in such a hurry, only to bump into Jiang Nuanzhi and Xie Liangchen standing together. And Xie Liangchen's gaze was anything but innocent.
He felt a lump in his throat, suppressing the uncomfortable feeling and telling himself that perhaps it was because this person looked too much like Anuan that he felt this way.
Now, even if someone is going to get angry, it should be Chi Heng who gets angry. Judging from the situation, Chi Heng's headscarf will probably have to be changed to green.
After thinking for a moment, he finally took two steps forward and asked, "Miss, do you know Ah Nuan?"
Seeing Li Rong's behavior and glancing at Xiao Li standing not far behind him, Jiang Nuanzhi felt a sudden surge of anger and didn't want to talk to anyone.
Seeing that the pretty girl opposite him seemed wary of him, Li Rong clasped his hands in a fist salute and said, "This young lady looks very much like my Ah Nuan. I wonder if you are Ah Nuan's sister?"
Li Rong had just carefully observed this person and noticed that she was wearing the crystal bracelet that he had given to A Nuan earlier. He frowned and felt a little dislike for this sister-in-law.
This person actually put the gift he had given to Anuan on her hand. In his heart, he became more certain of her identity. Before, he thought Chi Heng was talking nonsense, but now he felt that it was probably true.
Of course, there was another reason he disliked this man: he and his brother Chi Heng were already in love. He still had portraits of the two of them in his pocket, and now this man was standing with the handsome young master of the Xie family.
However, he wasn't in the habit of lecturing others, so he thought to himself that he should go back and talk to Ah Nuan in detail.
Jiang Nuanzhi noticed that Li Rong was looking at the bracelet on her wrist.
Yet he still spoke like that, making Jiang Nuanzhi wonder if he was faking it. Was he playing some kind of role-playing game with her? After all, her friends were only surprised and didn't recognize her, but they had never thought he would treat her like someone else.
Thinking back, it's been more than half a year since Li Rong left, and I've probably lost another 70 pounds.
However, Jiang Nuanzhi still didn't want to talk to him, and only asked Xie Liangchen, "Does it still hurt?"
Xie Liangchen never expected that she would actually dare to ignore this former war god and instead ask him if he was in pain.
He paused for a moment, then immediately shook his head and said, "Much better."
Jiang Nuanzhi rolled her eyes: "If it doesn't hurt, then hurry up and give me the money."
"Also, be careful not to get it wet for the next two days. There's no bone injury in your hand, it'll be fine after a few days of rest."
Then he turned around and squatted down in the donkey shed to continue checking on the donkey's condition.
Upon hearing her voice, Li Rong couldn't help but look over with a blank and surprised expression. Her voice was exactly the same as A Nuan's. Even her speaking habits, and her medical skills!
Li Rong swallowed hard, took two steps forward, and wanted to examine the expiration date more closely.
"Father, when did you get back?"
Suddenly hearing a sound behind him, Li Rong turned around and saw Ping'er coming over. However, Ping'er bypassed him and went straight to the person. She was looking at him with her little brows furrowed.
"Dad, what nonsense were you talking about with Mom just now? What kind of sister are you talking about?"
