Chapter 61 This King Hates Pretty Boys the Most
And from what they said, they didn't want to kill him, just break his legs. It seemed like they were doing it to vent their anger.
Oh my God! Who can tell him how he had offended the King of Beining?
"Young Marquis, how are you?" Yi'an County Lady Lin Baoyue came over holding an umbrella and helped the soaked Jiang Xu up. She felt that the man in front of her was handsome and had a kind of yandere beauty. "My uncle has gone too far. I will tell mother and let you vent your anger!"
Jiang Xu came back to his senses and asked, "How did you know I was here?"
Lin Baoyue pointed to the entrance of the alley and said, "It was Madam Lu who brought the news. My mother is not at home, so I brought people here."
"Madam Lu?" Jiang Xu immediately pushed Lin Baoyue aside, walked over slowly, and said with a bow, "Madam, you saved me again. I wonder if you can... come out to meet me so that I can thank you for your kindness."
The sergeant hit him hard on the back with the scabbard of his sword. Although there was no bleeding, it hurt badly.
Fang Qianxue sat in the carriage and asked Cuishuang to go out and talk to him.
"Young Marquis Jiang, our lady said that she just saw injustice and it's not a big deal, so she doesn't deserve your thanks." Cui Shuang lifted the curtain of the car and came out.
Jiang Xu's heart sank, and he shook his head with a look of loss: "I understand."
In his heart, he insisted that Fang Qianxue had fallen in love with him, otherwise why would she come to his rescue so many times? But due to the difference in their status, he also knew that there was no chance.
Cui Shuang pointed to the Princess's Mansion not far away and said, "The young marquis is injured. Let's go to the Princess's Mansion and find a doctor to take a look."
With that, the carriage started moving and quickly disappeared from sight.
Lin Baoyue caught up with him holding an umbrella. Seeing Jiang Xu staring at Fang Qianxue's carriage, she felt jealous: "She already has two children. What are you still looking at?"
"Ahem..." Jiang Xu's face flushed, "Don't talk nonsense!"
In the carriage, Fang Qianxue was wondering why King Beining would take action against Jiang Xu, a hostage with no real power. Even if he died, it would not shake the Liaoyuan Marquisate.
She rescued Jiang Xu today, and she didn't know if it would bring her trouble. But strictly speaking, it was Princess Yi'an who saved Jiang Xu, and she just reported the news.
If the King of Beining wants to take revenge, shouldn’t he go to find Princess Yian?
Thinking of this, she was no longer so worried.
"Madam," Cui Shuang looked like she was worried, "I have something to say but I don't know if I should say it or not."
"Go ahead, is there anything between you and me that cannot be discussed?" Fang Qianxue smiled.
Cui Shuang was not young anymore, and she wanted to find a good home for her. Before, seeing that Yan Fenghua had never married and the Yan family was forcing him to have children, she wanted him to marry Cui Shuang, but both of them disagreed.
Yan Fenghua said that the Yan family had no tradition of taking concubines, and taking concubines would damage his image of being upright and incorruptible.
Cui Shuang said that her mother was a concubine and served the wife all her life. When the mistress was sick, her mother took care of her excrement and urine instead of her biological children. Later, when the family fell into poverty, the first thing they thought of was to sell the concubine's daughter as a maid, so she would rather die than be a concubine.
"I feel that Young Marquis Jiang seems to have some…" Cui Shuang hesitated for a long time before finally saying it out hesitantly, "Improper thoughts towards you."
Fang Qianxue was stunned. She thought about all the scenes related to Jiang Xu in her mind, but she didn't remember much. "It's impossible. Don't let your imagination run wild."
"I'm not imagining things. Do you feel that... the young marquis's face turns red every time he meets your gaze?"
"..." After hearing this, Fang Qianxue felt very uncomfortable. "Don't say this carelessly, otherwise it will not only hurt me, but also him."
Jiang Xu's situation in Shangjing is already very bad. If any rumors get out, wouldn't it be handing a knife to those who dislike him?
For example, someone.
Xiao Mingzhe didn't know that his image in Fang Qianxue's heart had already collapsed. He was contentedly accompanying the Queen Mother to drink tea. The mother and son were chatting and laughing, and talked about the weather for a long time, until the eldest princess Xiao Mingjie rushed in.
"Nineteen! Are you crazy? Are you going to attack Jiang Xu?"
The old empress dowager heard the tension in the words and winked at He Qiong, who quickly called the eunuchs and palace maids in the hall, hurriedly retreated, and closed the door.
"Is a proton worth my sister's wrath?" Xiao Mingzhe disagreed. "Isn't he just a little better looking? I hate pretty boys the most."
"What will Liaoyuan Marquisate think if you touch him? If Liaoyuan Marquisate joins the Yang family, do you still want to sleep peacefully?" Xiao Mingjie slammed the table, sat down on the stool, and calmed down for a while. "Besides, Jiang Xu...how did he offend you?"
Jiang Xu is just a handsome man who is harmless to humans and animals!
Xiao Mingzhe glanced at Empress Dowager Liu and gave a reason that he himself didn't believe: "He seduced Yi'an."
