Chapter 481 Expressing Gratitude to Doctor Jiang
"Eunuch Liu, what's going on!" Sanqi's impatient voice came: "It's already tight, why are you making things worse now?"
Liu Gonggong's fingertips trembled, and half a cold, hard pie rolled off the cart shaft.
His usually eloquent and flattering tongue remained silent for a long time.
To this day, he has never dared to even glance at Miss Liu.
"And who are you? Who gave you permission to speak to my brother like that?" Miss Liu angrily kicked him, glared at Sanqi, and for a moment ignored him. She lifted her skirt and ran to Eunuch Liu, tilting her head back with bright eyes as she looked at him from the carriage. Her voice was tinged with caution: "Brother, why didn't you tell me you were coming home? I only heard from the clansmen that they saw you. I didn't expect it really to be you."
Are you in a hurry? Would you like to come home? Your family is waiting for you at the ancestral hall. They say you've returned and they need to offer sacrifices to our ancestors to comfort their spirits and bless your future.”
Halfway through her sentence, seeing that Eunuch Liu still hadn't noticed her, Miss Liu pursed her lips and said aggrievedly, "Why isn't my brother talking to me? Don't you recognize Ayu? Look, Ayu knows that my brother is getting married, and she even bought a gift for her new sister-in-law. She's waiting for my brother to take her back to the countryside to visit relatives."
"Ayu." Eunuch Liu's voice was hoarse, his fingers gripping the reins were white, his lips moved slightly, but he couldn't speak for a long time.
"Shall we get married?"
Sanqi's voice completely changed as she lifted the curtain and came out, forgetting all about urging him on. She just stared at Eunuch Liu with disbelief.
Goodness, does this father-in-law even get married?
I haven't heard of it along the way.
It wasn't just Sanqi who was curious; everyone looked outside.
Miss Liu also sensed the strange atmosphere and frowned, but didn't say anything. However, when she saw her brother, she couldn't help but panic: "Brother, why are you dressed like this? Aren't you the Sixth Prince's personal guard? Why aren't you wearing guard's clothes? Why are you driving a carriage in this freezing weather? And why are they calling you Eunuch Liu?"
"Ayu, I...I..."
With each word Miss Liu uttered, Eunuch Liu's face paled. Eventually, he stammered for a long time, unable to finish a single sentence.
"Miss Liu, it's you! Eunuch Liu is on a mission."
Jiang Nuanzhi also came out of the carriage at this time, smiling as she spoke to Miss Liu.
"How could it be you!" Miss Liu exclaimed, her eyes wide with shock.
Jiang Nuanzhi then jumped off the carriage and shushed him, saying, "Keep your voice down! You've disturbed the important guests and delayed your brother's business. What are we going to do then?"
Ms. Liu was so frightened that she immediately covered her mouth. Then, imitating Jiang Nuanzhi, she whispered, "What exactly happened?"
Jiang Nuanzhi glanced at Eunuch Liu, who was looking over with a pale face and surprise, then glanced at Miss Liu, and then said with a smile, "It's not convenient here, let's talk in private."
As he spoke, he gave Sanqi a warning look.
Sanqi, who was about to speak, immediately swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
Miss Liu glanced at her brother, then obediently followed Jiang Nuanzhi and took two steps back.
A short while later, Jiang Nuanzhi returned with Miss Liu, then jumped into the carriage. As she passed Eunuch Liu, she patted him on the shoulder and nodded.
"Brother, I know it's inconvenient for you to speak, so I won't bother you anymore. You should go on with your business. I'll go back and tell the elders that we mistook someone for someone else today! Take care, brother." After saying that, she waved her little hand vigorously, trying her best to hold back the tears in her eyes, and managed not to let them fall.
Liu Gonggong's Adam's apple bobbed slightly: "Ayu, you've grown up. Take good care of yourself."
"Yes, yes, yes, brother, you must come back when I get married!"
Eunuch Liu pursed his lips: "Okay."
Then, they set off with whips in hand.
As he watched Miss Liu's bright red figure recede into the distance, Eunuch Liu's eyes gradually reddened. He rubbed his eyes, suppressing the sorrow in his heart, then called for someone to drive the carriage, and said to the carriage, "Dr. Jiang, may I come in and say a few words to you?"
The next second, the carriage curtain was lifted, revealing Jiang Nuanzhi's face. She smiled and waved, "Come in and warm yourself up."
Liu Gonggong was taken aback. After entering the carriage, he knelt down with a thud.
"Liu Mingcheng kowtows to express his deepest gratitude to Doctor Jiang."
Then, with a thud, he hit his head on the ground and didn't get up for a long time.
Jiang Nuan was taken aback. Liu Mingcheng? That's a good name. She glanced at Liu Gonggong's faded crimson robe and couldn't help but sigh.
This person probably has a story to tell.
"Have a cup of hot tea, I also have something to tell you."
Jiang Nuanzhi pulled the man up and gave him a bowl of hot tea.
Inside the carriage, Linchun held the drowsy little Baozhu in her arms. Although she didn't look at Eunuch Liu, her ears were still perked up, listening intently.
The big black dog above wasn't so subtle; it stared directly at Eunuch Liu.
Of course, there was also Lightning perched on Jiang Nuanzhi's shoulder, tilting its head to look at this and that.
Liu Gonggong was pressed down to sit down, and when he felt a warmth in his hand, he was momentarily stunned.
"Dr. Jiang, it's...it's my fault, I..."
"No need to explain." Jiang Nuanzhi lowered her eyes and interrupted him, only taking out a package for him: "Here, this is from Miss Liu. I told her that you have received a secret mission from the Sixth Prince and are going out in disguise to pick someone up, so you can't stay long. She was afraid that giving you this package would affect you, so she asked me to give it to you later. There is also this jade pendant."
Miss Liu also asked him to convey her regards to his sister-in-law, but Jiang Nuanzhi felt that it was unnecessary to say such a thing.
It was quite a twist of fate; coincidentally, Jiang Nuanzhi was also present when Miss Liu bought the jade pendant.
Liu Gonggong choked up, lowered his head and took the things. After a while, he said, "I just thought that it would be fine once Ayu got married. But now I don't know if I was right or wrong."
Jiang Nuanzhi looked at Eunuch Liu, who seemed to have lost all his strength, and suddenly asked, "Are you the person who serves the Sixth Prince personally?"
Liu Gonggong was taken aback, wondering why Doctor Jiang asked such a question, but still replied, "Of course."
"Apart from you, does anyone else in your clan serve in the capital?"
Eunuch Liu shook his head blankly: "Never."
Jiang Nuanzhi raised an eyebrow: "Isn't that enough? No matter if you're a guard or a eunuch, you're the most capable. What's wrong with waiting for you in the ancestral worship? We should ask our ancestors to bless you so that the whole clan can prosper."
"As for your marriage, you can just say it's off later. There's no need to take it so seriously. Eunuch Liu, life is full of surprises. You were wrong before, but you're right now. As long as you don't dwell on it, nothing else can hurt you in the slightest."
