Chapter 138: Blatant Favoritism

Xie Jing said, "The injury is not serious."

Du Huilan looked at Xie Jing carefully and felt that Xie Jing was just holding on. She heard from the old lady that Xie Jing's injury was very serious. Because he was in a hurry, the wound split open twice.

"I made some chicken soup to nourish the general."

Du Huilan said as she took the food box from the maid. Before she could take it out, Xie Jing said, "No need. Aning has already made some chicken soup. It's enough for me to drink."

Du Huilan paused. Xie Jing's refusal was too firm. Her hand had already touched the soup bowl. It was not right to take it out, and it was not right not to take it out. It was very awkward.

She hesitated for a while, but still brought out the soup bowl and placed it in front of Xie Jing, "Madam's chicken soup is not ready so quickly, drink my chicken soup first."

Xie Jing said, "Chicken soup is greasy, it's not good to eat too much."

Jiang Youning didn't even blink when she saw Xie Jing refuse. She picked up a crystal dumpling and put it in the bowl in front of Xie Jing, "General, eat the crystal dumpling."

Xie Jing looked at the crystal dumpling in the bowl, "hmm", picked it up and put it in his mouth to eat.

Du Huilan saw this scene, and her hand couldn't help but hold the soup bowl tightly. The scene in front of her was too warm and harmonious, and it was impossible for anyone to interfere.

She tried to interrupt the warm scene in front of her unwillingly, "General, my grandfather heard that the general won a victory, and wanted to invite the general to dinner to celebrate."

Xie Jing paused while eating. He could give face to anyone, but he had to give face to the old general.

"I will go."

Du Huilan smiled, "Grandpa said that the general was injured, and the banquet will be held in three days."

Xie Jing said, "I'm sorry to trouble the old general."

Du Huilan left after seeing Xie Jing agreed.

Jiang Youning had heard some things about Xie Jing and General Du. It was because General Du had shown his kindness that he had no choice but to take Du Huilan as his concubine.

Xie Jing looked up at Jiang Youning, "I can't drink."

Jiang Youning looked at Xie Jing with a puzzled look, and then heard him say, "General Du has been very kind to me."

Jiang Youning said very considerately, "I know, General, go ahead."

Xie Jing picked up a meat bun for her, "Eat a meat bun."

After breakfast, Jiang Youning suggested, "General, how about I walk around the yard with you?"

Xie Jing was free, so he nodded, "Okay."

The morning sun was not strong, and it was still a bit cool walking under the shade of the trees.

Jiang Youning wanted to help Xie Jing, but thinking of the height difference between the two, it would make no difference whether to help or not, so she simply didn't help.

After she took Xie Jing for a walk in the yard, she reminded him, "General, let's go back and rest

."

Xie Jing looked at the small yard. It took less than a cup of tea to walk around it. Why are we going back now?

"Brother Xie." Xiao Yu jumped down from the wall with a smile on his face, and then strode over.

Jiang Youning looked up and saw Xiao Yu climbing over the wall. She had seen Xiao Yu climbing over the wall countless times before. She used to think that he was a naughty boy who could climb over the wall. Now she knew that Xiao Yu's light skills were good and he could fly over walls at will.

Xie Jing looked at Xiao Yu who climbed over the wall again. Without asking, he knew that Xiao Yu often climbed over the wall to the general's mansion during his absence. ….

"Can you change your habit of climbing over the wall?"

"It's a habit, I can't change it." Xiao Yu walked up to Xie Jing and looked him up and down. "I heard that Brother Xie was injured, why does he look fine?"

Jiang Youning said, "Who said he was fine? He just looks fine, but the wound is actually very deep."

Xie Jing lowered his eyes and looked at Jiang Youning. Seeing her serious look when she spoke, people who didn't know would think he was lying in bed and couldn't get up.

Xiao Yu looked at Xie Jing a few more times after hearing this. He couldn't see it because he was wearing clothes. The emperor postponed the celebration banquet, which also showed that Xie Jing was seriously injured

.

"Brother Xie, why don't you rest in bed when you're so badly injured?"

Xie Jing: "..."

Back in the house, Chuntao brewed a few cups of tea and placed them in front of the three of them, then left.

After a walk, Xiao Yu felt thirsty, so he picked up the teacup in front of him and took two sips of tea. "Brother Xie, Ning'er was almost divorced some time ago." Xie Jing

had just picked up the teacup, and when he heard it, he looked up at Xiao Yu, "What did you say?"

Xiao Yu repeated it again, "Ning'er was almost divorced."

Xie Jing heard it clearly this time, and turned his head to look at Jiang Youning, "What happened?"

Jiang Youning didn't expect Xiao Yu to bring up this matter at this time. Seeing Xie Jing asking, she did not hide anything, so she told him what happened that day.

"Fortunately, Xiao Yu went to see the emperor, and the matter was quickly resolved." Xie

Jing's eyes darkened when he heard this. He made it clear how important a woman's reputation is. If the truth had not been made public, Jiang Youning would have faced more than just being divorced.

Xiao Yu drank tea, "Brother Xie, Ning'er's description was not vivid enough. At that time, four doctors examined Ning'er's pulse, and all of them showed that she was pregnant. If it weren't for the wrong time, I would have thought that Ning'er was pregnant."

Xie Jing turned his head to look at Jiang Youning, blaming himself for not being by her side when she was being wronged at home.

"I'm sorry for making you feel wronged."

Jiang Youning said, "I felt a little wronged, but fortunately the truth came out soon, so it's okay."

Xiao Yu picked up a piece of cake and put it in her mouth and took a bite. Looking at the couple in front of her, she found that Xie Jing's eyes were so gentle. Sure enough, after having a wife, Brother Xie became different and felt sorry for people.

Xie Jing didn't say anything else, but he remembered this incident.

Xiao Yu finished the cake in his hand and looked at the can of snacks in front of him. He took it and opened it curiously. He put one in his mouth and ate it. He found that it tasted good. When he was about to take another one, Jiang Youning snatched it away.

"You can't eat pecan kernels." Jiang Youning held the can in her arms and took the lid to cover it.

Xiao Yu had just tasted the walnuts when they were taken away. She looked

at Jiang Youning in confusion, "Ning'er, when did you become so stingy? It's such a big can, and I can only eat half of it, isn't it?" Jiang Youning closed the lid and looked at Xiao Yu with her chin raised, "Do you know where these walnut kernels come from?"

Xiao Yu asked in confusion: "How did it come from? Could it be a tribute from the Western Regions?"

Jiang Youning said: "This was peeled by the general himself with his wounds. How can you eat it?"

Xiao Yu was stunned when he heard this and turned to look at Xie Jing.

Xie Jing looked at Jiang Youning's appearance of protecting the food, raised the teacup in his hand and put it to his mouth to drink. ....

Xiao Yu looked at the canned food in Jiang Youning's hand again. As long as she gave it to him, what was there to be embarrassed about?

To be honest, the walnut kernels were delicious, and he wanted to eat some more.

"Ning'er, it's not too much for me to eat a little, right?"

Jiang Youning found that Xiao Yu was a bit thick-skinned. No wonder he was so outgoing.

"No." Jiang Youning stood up and picked up another can and pushed it in front of Xiao Yu, "If you want to eat, peel it yourself."

Xiao Yu looked at the hickory nuts in front of him, one of which was not very big. He opened the can with curiosity, took out one and planned to peel it, but found that the shell was very hard. He used force with his fingertips to open the shell.

Xie Jing saw that Jiang Youning was still holding the can of walnut kernels. She peeled them yesterday and didn't eat much.

"Why don't you eat it?"

Jiang Youning said, "I'll eat it later."

Xie Jing didn't say anything after hearing that.

Xiao Yu peeled the walnut kernels by himself and found it very tiring. It was more refreshing to eat the peeled walnut kernels. His eyes couldn't help but look at the can of walnut kernels in front of Jiang Youning.

He sighed in his heart, "Xie Jing is getting more and more caring, alas! 】

Two days later, Xie Jing was invited to attend a banquet at the Du Mansion, and brought Jiang Youning with him.

Jiang Youning's favorite thing is to eat banquets, because at banquets she can eat many different dishes at once.

When leaving the house, Xie Jing walked out holding Jiang Youning's hand.

Du Huilan had been waiting at the porch early, and saw Xie Jing walking over holding Jiang Youning's hand, just like a very loving couple.

Xie Jing also wanted to take Jiang Youning with him to the Du Mansion, which was simply over-pampering.

But it was Xie Jing's decision, and she had no right to refuse or object.

When they came to the carriage, Xie Jing asked Jiang Youning to get on the carriage first, and he got on later.

Du Huilan looked at the two people who got on the carriage one after another, and got on the carriage with dissatisfaction.

After entering, she saw Xie Jing and Jiang Youning sitting together. She had planned to take this opportunity to get closer to Xie Jing, but with Jiang Youning in the way, how could she get closer to Xie Jing? They were

silent all the way. After the carriage stopped at the Du Mansion,

Xie Jing led Jiang Youning out of the carriage.

Du Huilan followed behind, watching Xie Jing lead Jiang Youning, and she was looking forward to Xie Jing leading her out of the carriage.

This was the Du Mansion, and for the sake of his grandfather's face, Xie Jing had to put on a show no matter what.

However, Du Huilan stood in the carriage and waited for a long time, but Xie Jing did not come to help her. Instead, he led Jiang Youning to the mansion.

The housekeeper had been waiting at the door for a long time. When he saw Xie Jing coming, he hurried to greet him.

But he saw that Xie Jing was not walking with Du Huilan. He looked back and found that Du Huilan was still in the carriage.

He retracted his gaze to the woman next to Xie Jing. Even though he had never seen a general's wife, he guessed that this was the general's wife.

He smiled and said, "General of the Cavalry, please come in, General's wife."

Xie Jing walked straight in with Jiang Youning.

Du Huilan was so angry that she could only get off the carriage and walk a few steps quickly to catch up.

The Du family had already prepared delicious food. Seeing Xie Jing coming, they naturally had to say a few polite words.

Mrs. Du saw her daughter walking behind, looked at the woman beside Xie Jing, and asked with a smile: "General Xie, who is this?"

Xie Jing introduced: "Madam Du, this is the general's wife Jiang."

Mrs. Du had already guessed it, but after Xie Jing's introduction, it also showed that Xie Jing valued Jiang very much. She smiled on the surface, but felt sorry for her daughter in her heart.

In fact, this banquet was proposed by Mrs. Du. Xie Jing had not consummated his marriage with Du Huilan for a long time, and she was very anxious as a mother.

General Du had not drunk with Xie Jing for a long time, so he readily agreed.

Congratulations to Xie Jing on his triumphant return were fake, but the real reason was to make Xie Jing treat Du Huilan well.

General Du smiled and said, "Xie Jing, sit down and talk."

Xie Jing responded and sat down with Jiang Youning.

General Du ordered, "Pour General Xie some wine."

Xie Jing politely declined, "General Du, my injury has not healed yet, so I can't drink. I hope General Du will forgive me." General

Du was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Look at my memory. It's really not suitable for you to drink when you are injured.". Gongzi
