Chapter 88 Choose to Marry Me
That afternoon, Prince An sent people to deliver many gifts, saying it was to express his apology.
Jiang Yueyao didn't even look at it and asked people to go back.
On the way home in the evening, Sulan was a little worried.
"I heard that Prince An appears gentle and harmless on the surface, but he's actually a scheming man. He's been coming to see you these past two days. Could he have some bad intentions?"
In order not to let her worry, Jiang Yueyao comforted her.
"It's okay. He's a prince, of noble status. How could he look down on people like us?"
But Sulan was still worried.
"My right eyelid has been twitching for the past two days, and I always feel like something bad is going to happen."
"Don't worry, Xiaoxi is here, she will protect us."
After arriving home, she took a quick shower and went to bed.
I don’t know if it’s because of the heat or what, but I feel weak and extremely tired.
Jiang Yueyao fell asleep very quickly, almost as soon as she touched the pillow.
I was suddenly awakened in the middle of the night.
When she opened her eyes, she found herself being carried on the shoulders of a man in black. The violent shaking made her consciousness clear instantly.
There was a sound of fighting behind her. She looked up and saw Xiaoxi surrounded by seven or eight men in black, with swords flashing and sabers flying. Xiaoxi kept looking in her direction and yelled, "Girl..."
Jiang Yueyao opened her mouth and wanted to respond.
But I found that no sound came out of my mouth.
She was terrified and tried desperately to make a sound, but found that she couldn't make any sound.
She wanted to struggle, but her whole body seemed paralyzed and she couldn't move at all.
Jiang Yueyao was terrified.
An unprecedented fear swept through her body. She looked at Xiaoxi desperately as she was getting further and further away from her. She watched helplessly as the man in black slashed her...
She thought, this time it might really be over.
After going out of the gate, there was a carriage at the door, and Jiang Yueyao was pushed into the carriage.
The carriage sped all the way to an alley in the south of the city.
This alley looked extremely ordinary, like an old alley where ordinary people lived. The man in black carried Jiang Yueyao through the alley and walked into the innermost house. Someone had been guarding the door for a long time. When they saw him coming, they immediately opened the door.
The man in black carried Jiang Yueyao inside and went straight to a courtyard.
There are lights in the yard.
There was a man sitting in the room, and this man was Prince An Chu Yu.
He changed into a moon-white brocade robe and stood in front of the table with a painting in front of him.
The person in the painting is wearing a water-green long skirt with a rouge-colored long gown on the outside. She has a bright look and a face the size of a palm, as beautiful as a spring flower.
This painting is a bit old and has some wear and tear on it, as if it has been touched countless times.
Jiang Yueyao was brought in and collapsed on the bed, powerless.
She looked at the man standing in front of the desk with his back to her and recognized him as Prince An at a glance.
I couldn't help but curse in my heart: People from the same family are alike, and no one in this family is good.
Jiang Yueyao felt so desperate when she thought of the sticky look in Prince An's eyes when he looked at her.
Xiaoxi, the only person who could come to save her, is now surrounded by a group of men in black and cannot come to save her.
She wanted to save herself, but she was so weak that she couldn't even move a finger.
Even if she was slow-witted, she could sense something was wrong.
Someone must have drugged her.
But, who is it?
She ate and drank in Wanhe Tower all day today and didn't touch anything outside.
Apart from……
She suddenly opened her eyes wide and remembered that she had drunk a cup of chrysanthemum tea that Xiaotao had made for her.
Jiang Yueyao has been feeling a little irritated recently and didn't eat much for dinner. Xiaotao, who was standing next to her, saw this and took the initiative to make her a cup of chrysanthemum tea.
She was quite moved when she held the cup...
Now that I think about it carefully, I realize that Xiaotao was a little abnormal at that time.
For example, when I handed her the cup, my hands were shaking.
A little water spilled out and landed on the back of her hand, scalding her.
But Jiang Yueyao didn't think about these things at that time. She drank all the chrysanthemum tea without leaving a drop.
I guess the dosage was too strong, otherwise she wouldn't be completely exhausted.
I feel desperate but also a little heartbroken.
When Xiaotao was hired as a waiter, it was out of pity for her. After Xiaotao's mother died, her father married a stepmother, and with a stepmother, there is a stepfather.
The stepmother gave birth to two sons and the family was short of money, so she wanted to sell Xiaotao for some money. It happened that Jiang Yueyao was recruiting workers, so after Xiaotao escaped, she entered Wanhe Tower.
Wanhelou originally did not provide accommodation.
But the other party had no place to stay, so Jiang Yueyao spent her own money to rent a small house for her as her temporary home.
For this, Xiaotao was deeply grateful to her.
He swore to heaven that he would repay her in the future.
Oh!
So this is the reward she was talking about!
It's really touching.
Jiang Yueyao suddenly realized that she was not suitable for doing good things.
When she saved Lu Hengqing, she was willing to support him for seven years, but later he sent someone to stab her to death.
Now, she was kind enough to help Xiao Tao, but she was stabbed in the back by her, leaving her in this desperate situation.
So she secretly swore in her heart that if she had the chance to get out of here safely, she would never be kind again.
Respect everyone's destiny and let go of the desire to help others.
If you don’t help others, you won’t die!
If you don’t help others, you won’t be drugged!
Oh! Damn it...
"What are you thinking about?" Prince An's gentle voice fell from above his head.
Jiang Yueyao suddenly came back to her senses, raised her eyes to meet his gaze, and her whole body froze.
He...what's that look in his eyes?
Affectionate?
Affectionate?
Gentle as water...
Jiang Yueyao suppressed the nausea in her heart, opened her mouth, and asked him if he could give her the antidote first.
Prince An seemed to have just realized that she couldn't speak.
He hurriedly comforted her softly.
"Don't worry, I'll have someone bring in the antidote right away."
He gave an order outside, and someone soon brought the antidote.
Prince An reached out to take it, sat down on the edge of the bed, motioned for Jiang Yueyao to open her mouth, then put the antidote in, and fed her some water.
The pill went down her throat, and soon Jiang Yueyao felt all her strength come back.
She tried to make sounds and was able to speak.
She jumped out of the bed and quietly hid to the other side. Then she stared at Prince An with a frown on her face. "What are you going to do?"
"Don't be afraid." Chu Yu looked at her with a gentle expression, "Yaoyao, I won't hurt you."
Jiang Yueyao felt extremely disgusted when being called "Yaoyao" by a man who could be her father.
But she didn't dare show it, for fear of angering the other person.
"Your Highness sent someone to bring me here. Doesn't he intend to let me go back?"
"You don't like it here?" Prince An pointed at everything in the room. "I arranged everything here myself. Every single thing is to your liking."
He pointed to the 16-page folding screen beside him.
"Do you still remember this screen? During the Lantern Festival that year, you and I met on the street. We both fell in love with this screen, but when you learned that I was a prince, you gave it to me."
"Over the years, every time I see it, I think of you."
"Ayu, you like me, right?"
“If it weren’t for Shen Huaishan, would you have chosen to marry me back then?”
