Chapter 412 He looks more and more like his mother!
"What did you say! Your father and Doctor Jiang went out together!"
Upon arriving at the gate of the Jiang family, the young princess stared wide-eyed at Ping'er, who stood facing her.
Ping'er frowned: "What's so special about that? My parents are going out together, do you expect me to tell you?"
The young princess glared angrily, "Those two went out without me! Tell me, where did they go?"
Ping'er shook her head, her delicate brows furrowing, and said without changing her expression, "I don't know."
Princess: "When did they leave?"
"It could have been a quarter of an hour ago, or it could have been an hour ago. I don't remember."
"You're talking nonsense!" The young princess flew into a rage upon hearing this. "Just half an hour ago, I saw your parents seeing off that group of people surnamed Chi! How could they have left an hour ago?"
Ping'er let out a long "Oh," scratched her head, and said, seemingly puzzled, "Really? I completely forgot."
The young princess gritted her teeth in anger, clenched her fists, and asked again, "Then which direction did they come from?"
Ping'er stared at her intently, her voice still nonchalant: "...Direction...I don't know!"
"Li! Jun! Ping!" The little princess's voice was filled with rage: "Are you trying to mess with me? Believe me or not, I'll slap you!"
Ping'er raised an eyebrow: "You want to hit me? Come on, hit me on the head. It'd be best if you beat me until my head bleeds. Then I'll tell my parents that you came to my house to act tough while they were away, and see how they deal with you when they get back!"
The young princess's face flushed with anger. She pointed at Ping'er for a long time without saying a word. Finally, she gritted her teeth, stomped her foot, turned around and left, leaving behind only the words, "You just wait!"
Ping'er rolled her eyes at her retreating figure, then slammed the door shut and clapped her hands.
He glanced back at his younger brother and sister, who were standing in the doorway staring blankly at him, and frowned to himself: "Father and Mother have finally managed to go out alone, no one is allowed to disturb them. If anyone dares to ruin things..."
As he said this, the next second there was a snap, and the stick he was holding was broken in two.
Xiao Er and Xiao Baozhu exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.
"Hehe, brother, we definitely didn't come out to find our father and mother. We just came out to get some fresh air and catch our breath! Right, Baozhu?" Xiao Er winked at his little sister desperately.
Baozhu swallowed hard. "Right! Right! We didn't come looking for Daddy and Mommy, we just came out to see if our brother needs our help or something, hehe..."
Heiji's gaze swept back and forth between their faces: "So, have you two decided?"
"Watch closely, watch closely!" The two little ones nodded in unison.
Ping'er: "If you've seen it all, why aren't you going back?"
Then, right in Ping'er's sight, the two little ones held hands and ran into the house.
Even the big black dog beside him, seeing Ping'er's rather unfriendly gaze, also hung its head and ran off in a panic.
After running all the way to the door, Xiao Er couldn't help but pat his chest and whisper to his sister, "That was close."
Baozhu glanced back at Ping'er furtively: "Second brother, don't you think eldest brother and mother are becoming more and more alike?"
The waiter turned around, secretly glanced at the broken stick on the ground, and nodded vigorously in deep agreement.
They were secretly relieved that the young princess had arrived, otherwise they would have been the ones getting scolded.
"Bang bang bang!"
There was another urgent knocking at the door.
Ping'er gritted her teeth, kicked the stick off the ground, and opened the door with a frown: "Xiao Nianjun, are you ever going to stop...?"
The voice stopped abruptly, and Ping'er frowned: "Who are you?"
The person standing outside was not Xiao Nianjun, but a strange man.
The man was in his early thirties, quite tall, and had a very square build. However, his eyes were deeply sunken, with dark circles under them and bloodshot veins, making him look as if he hadn't slept well for days.
His beard had grown quite long, his hair was disheveled, and his clothes were filthy. The horse behind him was panting heavily, sweating even in the winter, clearly indicating that they had traveled a long way to get here.
Upon seeing the people, the man seemed somewhat excited, clasped his fists, and asked in a trembling voice, "Is this the Jiang family's home?"
Ping'er: "Who are you? Why are you asking about my mother?"
"I've come here seeking medical help, please, Dr. Jiang, save my life!"
...
"Ah Nuan, the jewelry shop here has opened too, would you like to go and have a look?"
In Liujiang Town, Li Rong was carrying two bags of medicinal herbs. Seeing that Jiang Nuanzhi was about to go into the pharmacy again, he finally stopped her.
"We agreed to go out and buy things you like, but all you bought are these medicinal herbs? Your clothes are getting a bit old, you should get some new ones."
"No need, I have plenty of clothes. They're ridiculously expensive right now. Clothes and jewelry have increased in price several times over."
As she said this, Jiang Nuanzhi gritted her teeth inwardly: "The shopkeeper was completely insane just now. This prepared rehmannia root was only twenty coins before, but he actually sold it for two hundred coins. He even said that there was nothing cheaper. I must buy some cheap prepared rehmannia root today."
As Jiang Nuanzhi said this, she gritted her teeth, grabbed Li Rong, and shoved into a herbal medicine shop.
Li Rong: ...
He stood behind Jiang Nuanzhi, staring intently at the back of her head. However, Jiang Nuanzhi didn't even glance at him. Instead, she stood with her hands on her hips, launching into a new round of argument with a shopkeeper.
He and Ah Nuan have never actually gone out together before.
Chi Heng had already returned to the capital, so Li Rong discussed it with A Nuan and decided to go out in three days.
These past two days, I've been trying to quickly buy some broken things at home and repair them.
I also want to take advantage of the free time these two days to buy some clothes and jewelry for Ah Nuan.
Of course, he also had his own selfish reasons. He had never gone shopping with anyone before, let alone his wife.
In Li Rong's imagination, the two of them would stroll hand in hand down the street, and he would choose a hairpin or other jewelry that A Nuan would love. She would put it on, dance happily in front of him, and perhaps even praise him, making everyone around them envious.
Then, he glanced again at the pretty woman in front of him, who was standing with her hands on her hips, glaring angrily.
This... is quite different from what he expected.
Fifteen minutes later, Jiang Nuanzhi left the house satisfied, carrying the medicinal herbs.
"Hmph, I knew I could buy it cheaper than them, it's a hundred coins cheaper."
As he said this, he smiled and stuffed the medicinal herbs into Li Rong's arms.
Seeing Jiang Nuanzhi and Yang Mei's animated expressions, Li Rong unconsciously twitched the corners of his mouth as well.
He casually tidied the stray hairs that had blown into her mouth: "Are you that happy?"
"Of course! We saved a hundred coins, enough to buy three pairs of shoes for the children!"
Li Rong met her eyes, which were as bright as a galaxy, and nodded with a light smile: "Okay, what else do you want to buy? I'll negotiate the price with you."
Jiang Nuanzhi looked at him suspiciously: "You know how to do these things?"
Li Rong still smiled slightly: "You've been talking for quite a while, it seems you've learned a few tricks. Why don't you let me try them out?"
Jiang Nuanzhi raised an eyebrow: "Then... shall we give it a try?"
