Chapter 590 Li Rong: Xie Liangchen must be blind.
Jiang Nuanzhi looked up and met Li Rong's gaze. After a long while, she sighed softly, "Arong, stop laughing. Your smile is ugly."
As she spoke, she poked his cheek: "If you're feeling sad, you don't have to smile. Cry if you want to, it's not shameful."
Li Rong was stunned for a moment, meeting Jiang Nuanzhi's eyes which were filled with a hint of heartache. After a while, he was taken aback, and a sour and swollen feeling welled up in his heart for some reason.
"How fortunate Rong is to have such a wife!"
Looking back now, I find it unbelievable that I actually spent ten taels of silver to buy Ah Nuan.
He was certain that Xie Liangchen was blind.
How could they bear to sell someone like Ah Nuan?
Li Rong still can't understand it.
He even felt that the ten taels of silver were an insult to his Ah Nuan.
The thought of having bought Ah Nuan back with money always made him feel a tightness in his chest.
Looking at Jiang Nuanzhi in front of him, he pursed his lips: "Nuanzhi, I'm sorry, please wait a moment, I will give you the best things in the world."
As he spoke, a dark mist, obscuring his emotions, welled up in his eyes.
Jiang Nuanzhi deeply sensed his guilt, and her heart was inexplicably stirred by his words.
She fanned her slightly flushed cheeks. Strangely enough, these words weren't particularly explicit, but coming from Li Rong's mouth, they inexplicably made her heart race, especially hearing his magnetic voice.
Swallowing hard, Jiang Nuanzhi forcibly shifted her gaze from his lips and replied to herself:
"Ahem, of course. Someone as good as me is hard to find. I saved A-Rong's life, so I'll have to work a thousand times harder from now on. Otherwise, I'd be letting down your strong and robust body."
As he spoke, his eyes suddenly darted down from his bobbing Adam's apple, seemingly forgetting the outrageous things he had just uttered.
Li Rong listened with his head slightly lowered. He nodded at the beginning, convinced that what A Nuan said was true. But when he heard the later part, his handsome face suddenly stiffened. His striking features were filled with confusion.
Working hard?
He looked down in a daze, his gaze falling on Jiang Nuanzhi's rosy cheeks.
However, Jiang Nuanzhi didn't even glance at him.
She lowered her head, her gaze fixed intently on her chest. Her small, white hands slowly moved closer, and in the next second, they slipped inside her loosened collar.
The moment the smooth, slightly cool little hand touched his skin, it sent a shiver down his spine. Li Rong let out a muffled groan, and his face flushed instantly.
In a daze, I felt a loud boom in my head. My Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and my voice became terribly hoarse.
"What is Ah Nuan doing?"
In a daze, Li Rong noticed that the mischievous little hand was reaching down again.
Large beads of sweat slid down his forehead, and almost reflexively, Li Rong instinctively grabbed the mischievous little hand. The soft, boneless touch made his heart nearly leap out of his chest: "A-Nuan."
He managed to utter two more words with difficulty.
These two words seem to carry a mixture of doting, helplessness, and a hint of suppressed pain.
"Wait a little longer, let me give you a grand wedding."
Upon hearing his words, Jiang Nuanzhi looked up and met Li Rong's aggressive gaze.
His eyes were fixed on her, seemingly glowing green, as if he were about to tear her apart and devour her at any moment. Jiang Nuanzhi couldn't help but feel a sense of fear.
The next second, Jiang Nuanzhi suddenly came to her senses.
Pui pui pui, Jiang Nuanzhi, what are you thinking?
It's been so long since I've had a vegetarian diet.
Crazy
Jiang Nuanzhi shook off the junk in her mind and then obediently sat back down in her seat.
Regardless, the gloomy aura around Li Rong dissipated somewhat, and having had her fill of playing, she immediately closed her eyes to rest.
Of course, she could still sense Li Rong's gaze on her face. Jiang Nuanzhi really didn't know what to say at this moment. She figured if he wanted to look, he could look for a while, so she forced herself to continue sitting.
However, after a short while, she heard Li Rong's unusually hoarse voice:
"Don't be angry, Ah Nuan. If you like it, touch it a little longer."
The next second, Jiang Nuanzhi felt a burning hot hand grasp her hand and forcefully cover her hand on his firm abdominal muscles.
Jiang Nuanzhi: "!!!"
The carriage rolled over the bluestone slabs, making a monotonous rumble, and finally came to a stop in the Eighth Alley. Three more carriages followed behind.
The carriage curtain was lifted, and Li Rong jumped down from the carriage to help Jiang Nuanzhi down.
The crisp winter air, carrying with it the unique aroma of cooking from the alleyway, rushed towards Jiang Nuanzhi. She couldn't help but let out a soft sigh of relief; she was finally home.
Behind them, Lin Chun, Chi Heng, Sun Wen, Sun Wu, Chen Shu, and several others helped General Zhong and his entourage, who had been brought back from the Prince's Mansion, to get off the carriage one after another. After Jiang Nuan got off the carriage, she and Li Rong went to the back. Seeing that the others were relatively stable, the group headed home.
"Anuan, look."
As they walked towards the mansion, they saw a large crowd gathered at the gate. Several warmly dressed neighbor servants were standing in front of the Li residence, pointing and whispering. Although they tried to keep their voices down, they were still quite clear in the quiet night.
"...Oh my, Old Li's family, this is really something! How dare an old man from the Jiang family be so arrogant!"
A round-faced woman gestured mysteriously, "That person was supposed to be delivering a message to the Emperor, but he blocked him! He absolutely refused to let that noble lady from the palace in!"
"Really? Are you crazy?"
The tall, thin woman next to him looked on in surprise, peering through the dark crack in the door. "This man doesn't look like a nice guy. He's also holding a big black dog on a leash. That dog is so slick, with shiny, black eyes like copper bells. It's kind of scary!"
"Who says otherwise? This old man even tried to set his dogs on the nobleman who was delivering a message from the palace. He's gone mad. And this new family that moved in, how come they're all... acting crazy? The old one's like this, and I heard the young one's acting strangely too..."
Jiang Nuanzhi was bombarded with these scattered comments, and her first reaction was not anger, but rather a sudden light in her eyes.
An old man?!
Ignoring the gossip, she immediately pushed her way through the crowd.
The scene at the entrance immediately caught my eye. The old man was wearing a brand-new dark gray cotton robe that I had bought for him after I came to Beijing. His gray hair was casually tied up with a wooden hairpin, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to have been smoothed out a bit, showing a kind of vigorous appearance after recovering from a serious illness.
Those eyes, which had been tightly closed for many days, were now as sharp as a hawk's, gleaming with a long-lost brilliance! He held a sturdy wooden stick that he had found somewhere in one hand, and with the other hand he firmly held the hand of his own big black dog, which was as strong as a calf and as majestic as a bull!
At this moment, he coldly curled his lips and warned the dusty eunuch in front of him: "Get out of here right now, or I'll have Big Black tear you to shreds!"
As if to cooperate with the old man, Big Black bared its snow-white fangs and let out a low, menacing growl. You have to admit, if you didn't know Big Black was a simpleton, it was quite intimidating.
