"I have a plan that may help her understand my feelings for you."
Jiang Zhixue paused, and said hesitantly: "You may not know that Ranran is generous, but she is particularly stingy and overbearing in some places that are commonplace to ordinary people. She..."
The remaining words disappeared in the suddenly cold eyes of the man above.
You may not know...
Xiao Junzhan withdrew his gaze and stared blankly at the tea in the cup.
How could he not know? He knew everything about that girl from childhood to adulthood.
She was indeed stingy. She would get angry when she saw Gu talking to other girls and demanded that he keep his distance from all girls.
Show your jealousy openly and remind your child of it from time to time.
Even so, the man surnamed Gu still took in two concubines without telling her.
At this point, cracks began to appear in their childhood sweetheart relationship.
But what about him?
She said it would be a good thing for her if he could transfer his feelings to someone else.
Thinking of what he heard outside the tent today, Xiao Junzhan felt a chill in his heart.
There was dead silence in the tent. Jiang Zhixue's knees were numb. Even when the Jiang family was in trouble and she was thrown into prison, she had never kneeled for so long. Her delicate skin was probably already bruised.
But she didn't dare to speak. She held her breath and concentrated, even her breathing was very light, and her whole body was even shaking slightly.
After a long while, Xiao Junzhan drank the tea in the cup, lowered his eyes and asked, "Do you want me to favor you?"
"No, no, no," Jiang Zhixue shook her head repeatedly and said anxiously, "I dare not have such delusion. I just think that if Ranran sees that you have found a new lover, she may understand your feelings out of jealousy."
Xiao Junzhan said: "It sounds like a good idea."
Jiang Zhixue's eyes lit up, and just as she was about to answer, she heard him say, "Ran Ran treats you as her own sister. You want to be my new love, aren't you afraid of making her sad?"
No matter how virtuous and generous a lady is, she cannot tolerate her sisters at home thinking about her husband's bed. What's more, Ran Ran has a very bad temper and cannot tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes.
The little girl is being silly now, hoping that he can transfer his affection to someone else.
If he really did that, even if it was just for show, she would definitely not be happy.
Xiao Junzhan saw this very clearly, and because he saw it clearly, he wanted to know whether this cousin from the Jiang family came to him and approached him with the reason of "sharing his worries" and whether she was concerned about her little cousin.
Here, Jiang Zhixue felt a little embarrassed when asked. She also knew that her behavior was indeed inappropriate, but for many things, she would not give up until she tried.
Maybe I will regret it for the rest of my life.
She was so ashamed that she couldn't speak, and Xiao Junzhan didn't have the patience to wait any longer. He just raised his hand slightly, and Ning Hai understood.
He walked a few steps to Jiang Zhixue who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Miss, please go back."
Jiang Zhixue was slightly startled, and subconsciously raised her head to look at the person sitting in front of the tea table, "You..."
Xiao Junzhan said, "Get out."
Ning Hai was startled and did not dare to delay. He hurriedly pulled Jiang Zhixue, whose legs were already limp from fear, up and dragged her out.
"Stand still." After leaving the tent, Ning Hai let go of her hand and said to the pale-faced girl with a half-smile, "Do you know that you were able to come out of here safely today because of that person's kindness?"
"...I know." Jiang Zhixue was so ashamed that she almost collapsed to the ground, and was supported by two palace maids on her left and right.
"Since you know, then put away your thoughts. His Highness can forgive you once, but it doesn't mean you will be so lucky every time." Ning Hai looked her up and down, with just the right amount of disgust on his face: "Please go back."
He said that he was helping His Highness share His Highness' worries, which made Miss Wei feel jealous and she could then realize his feelings.
It was nothing more than wanting to take the opportunity to get closer to His Highness and see if he could get the moon first by being close to the water tower. How was it different from offering himself for the bed? Even he could tell at a glance that this was a shallow trick, and he was actually trying to coax his Highness?
…………
Wei Hanzhang was changing the dressing. She was sitting on the couch with half of her clothes open. Her right shoulder and arm were exposed, and a corner of her lotus-colored dress was also visible. Her lips were a little pale due to the pain on her face.
The gold powder used by the royal family was indeed extraordinary. After just a few days, the wound had healed by more than half, but it still looked scary.
The female doctor carefully applied the scar removal cream and was about to wrap it with gauze when the curtain was lifted from the outside.
The man who had disappeared for a few days walked in around the screen. He had a slender figure, and as soon as he entered, the girls inside felt oppressed.
Raising his hand to stop the female doctor from saluting, Xiao Junzhan glanced at the wound that had not yet been bandaged, pursed his lips and asked, "How long will it take to completely heal?"
"Your Highness," the female doctor bandaged the wound carefully and said nervously, "Miss Wei's wound is healing very well. It will probably take another three to five days to heal."
Xiao Junzhan's expression eased a little. He bent down, reached out and held the girl's bare shoulders on the couch, wanting to help her put on her clothes.
Wei Hanzhang frowned and dodged to the side, lowered his head and fixed his clothes. When he looked up again after tying the last belt, he found that the female doctor, Luzhu and Lulan had all retreated.
There were only two of them in the tent.
"Your wounds are healing well," Xiao Junzhan sat beside the couch, brushed away the hair by her ears, and said with a smile, "I haven't come to see you for a few days. Are you in a good mood, Ranran?"
After all, a good mood is conducive to recovery.
Wei Hanzhang understood what he meant, turned his head to avoid his hand, hummed softly, and said, "Your Highness is right."
His hand fell on nothing, and after a pause, he reached forward and touched her face again. He stroked it gently for a while, ignoring her avoidance, and said with a smile, "Do you want me to call Chen Zishu to accompany you? I'm sure you'll be in a better mood."
Upon hearing this, Wei Hanzhang's expression became extremely ugly, and he clenched his teeth and remained silent.
His hand continued to slide slowly across her face, and finally landed on her lips. He pressed them lightly with his fingertips, making the slightly pale lips gradually turn red.
Finally, he lifted her chin and leaned down. Wei Hanzhang quickly raised her hand to press against his chest: "I don't want it..."
"Hmm?" Xiao Junzhan held her hand, placed it on his lips and kissed it gently, and said with a smile: "If you don't want me, do you really want me to call Chen Zishu for you?"
"Don't drag anyone else in!" Wei Hanzhang's fingertips trembled from his kiss. He clenched his fists and repeated, "Don't drag anyone else in!"
Don't drag others into this? Xiao Junzhan lowered his eyes and looked at her. The smile on his face gradually faded, and he said calmly, "Last night, your third cousin came to my tent and asked to see me."
Wei Hanzhang was stunned and looked up in daze.
There were mixed emotions in his eyes, like compassion, and self-mockery, as he said, "Ran Ran, you were the first to allow others to come in. You allowed her to come and ask for my favor."
He had never before addressed himself in this way in front of her.
Wei Hanzhang stared at him for a long time and asked softly, "Did you see it?"
