Chapter 18 Rejecting the good intention

"Is it you?"

The man in front of her was the man who had dinner with Xie Jing yesterday.

Why did he kidnap her?

Did he have a conflict with Xie Jing?

He knew that she was Xie Jing's fiancée and kidnapped her to threaten Xie Jing?

It's over. She is nothing in Xie Jing's heart~

Before Jiang Youning woke up, Xiao Yun had already looked at her for a long time. In terms of appearance, she really has the capital to make men fall in love at first sight.

Jiang Youning came back to her senses from the shock and looked at the man in front of her warily, "Why did you tie me up?"

Xiao Yun waved his folding fan lightly, taking in the panic in her eyes, "I was a little reckless, Miss Jiang wasn't frightened?"

Xiao Yun just ordered Wei Chen to bring Jiang Youning over, but Wei Chen mistakenly thought that he had knocked Jiang Youning unconscious and tied her up~

Jiang Youning wanted to roll her eyes, he had drugged her and tied her up, and he still asked her if she was frightened?

She was almost scared to death, okay?

"If you had asked me later, you would have known that I would faint from the shock, or even become a fool."

Xiao Yun was stunned for a moment, then chuckled, "I didn't expect you to be so timid. In this respect, you are not suitable for Xie Jing."

Jiang Youning thought of Xie Jing's strength, and her waist and hands ached. She wanted to agree with him.

"Are you the matchmaker?"

After a few seconds of silence, Xiao Yun laughed out loud, "I am not the matchmaker, but I have the ability of a matchmaker."

Jiang Youning was stunned for a moment when she first heard the title of "Gu". Isn't "Gu" the emperor's self-proclaimed name?

Isn't the emperor's arranged marriage the same as the matchmaker?

When she learned that the noble man in front of her was the current emperor, the emperor who held the power of life and death, she got off the bed in fear and knelt on her knees to kowtow.

"Long live the emperor."

Xiao Yun lowered his eyes to look at Jiang Youning on the ground and ordered, "Raise your head."

Jiang Youning didn't dare to say no. She raised her frightened face and looked at the current emperor, her almond eyes widened... and couldn't help blinking twice~

Xiao Yun stared at Jiang Youning for a while, and suddenly thought of her eating four-happiness meatballs, her eyes were pure like a greedy child.

"How about entering the palace to be my concubine?"

Entering the palace to be a concubine?

The palace that eats people without spitting out bones?

[Didn't you eat all the four-happiness meatballs yesterday? As for revenge today? 】

Jiang Youning shuddered with fear, "Your Majesty, I am General Xie's fiancée."

Xiao Yun raised the corner of his lips, "I know that Xie Jing is engaged to you just to please me, and Xie Jing has no feelings for you."

Jiang Youning was stunned.

【Xie Jing really has no feelings for me. How did the emperor know? 】

Without waiting for Jiang Youning to speak, Xiao Yun said again: "I will make you a concubine, and you will enjoy endless glory and wealth. I will give you everything you want."

Jiang Youning: "..."

【I am stupid, so I want to be your concubine! 】

Across the wall, Xie Jing heard this, and his dark eyes flashed with strange colors.

Xie Jing was originally in the training grounds, but was suddenly called over by Xiao Yun. He walked into the room without knowing why, and heard a man and a woman talking.

Jiang Youning's voice was a little soft, and I remembered it after hearing it once.

Next door were Xiao Yun and Jiang Youning.

Xie Jing was confused, and although she didn't understand what it meant, she summarized the whole sentence, which roughly meant that she didn't want to be Xiao Yun's concubine, even if it was a noble concubine.

"I am a commoner with no talent or virtue, how dare I marry the emperor? I fell in love with General Xie at first sight, and I hope the emperor will grant my wish."

Jiang Youning kowtowed after she finished speaking.

Xiao Yun was stunned when he heard this, staring at Jiang Youning who was crawling on the ground, and he asked again: "You know Xie Jing has no interest in you, but you still want to marry him?"

Jiang Youning nodded vigorously, "Your Majesty, I am willing."

[Anyway, it was Xie Jing who broke off the engagement, so if she didn't marry Xie Jing, it wouldn't be considered as deceiving the emperor. ]

Xie Jing: "..."

Xiao Yun was stunned again. She didn't even care about the imperial concubine and only wanted to marry Xie Jing. She should be happy with Xie Jing, not the title of the general's wife.

Yes, Xie Jing was successful at a young age and full of vigor. It was normal for Jiang Youning to be moved.

He stared at Jiang Youning for a long time, and ordered, "Wei Chen, send Miss Jiang back."

Jiang Youning secretly breathed a sigh of relief, kowtowed to thank him, and followed Wei Chen out.

After Jiang Youning left, Xiao Yun said again, "Xie Jing, come in."

Xie Jing then pushed open the door and walked in, stepped forward to salute, "Your Majesty."

Xiao Yun said, "Stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xie Jing stood up.

Xiao Yun played with the folding fan in his hand and stared at Xie Jing for a while, "I heard everything just now."

Xie Jing said, "I heard everything."

Xiao Yun laughed softly, "I now understand why you insist on marrying her as your principal wife. You have a good eye. Miss Jiang is not a woman who covets wealth and fame."

He called Xie Jing here today to let him know how greedy women are, but he was greatly disappointed.

Xie Jing was somewhat glad that Xiao Yun did not have the ability to read minds, otherwise he would not have said that after hearing what Jiang Youning was thinking.

He clasped his fists and bowed, "Thank you,

Your Majesty, for your help." Xiao Yun waved away Xie Jing, picked up the teacup on the table, brought it to his lips and took a sip, then put down the teacup in his hand and went to Concubine Nian.

When Concubine Nian learned that the emperor was coming, she tidied her appearance and came out to greet him.

"May your Majesty be blessed with good health."

"Get up." Xiao Yun came to the couch and sat down.

Concubine Nian stood up and came to Xiao Yun's side, her slender jade fingers resting on his shoulders, her voice indescribably tender, "Your Majesty, would you please stay for dinner tonight?"

Xiao Yun usually liked to stay with Concubine Nian the most, but today, listening to this coquettish voice, he lost interest.

"I still have official business to deal with, maybe next time!"

When Jiang Youning returned to the Jiang residence, it was already dark.

When Chuntao came to call Jiang Youning after she had prepared dinner, she found that she was missing.

The yard was not big, and Chuntao searched everywhere but couldn't find Jiang Youning. She was so anxious that she almost cried.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Chuntao's eyes were red. Seeing that she came back, she trotted to meet her.

"Miss, where have you been?"

Jiang Youning comforted her, "I went out for a while, don't worry."

Chuntao wiped her tears, "Miss, I'm glad that you're okay, I was scared to death ."

Jiang Youning wanted to say that she was almost scared to death, but fortunately she was safe.

She touched her stomach, "I'm hungry."

"Miss, dinner is ready, I'll bring it up now." Chuntao said and walked into the small kitchen.

After finishing her dinner, Jiang Youning took out the bill and took a look. She had already earned a hundred taels of silver.

She decided to add a few more limited edition exquisite styles, and the target of sales would naturally be wealthy people.

My eldest brother once said that rich people like limited editions the most and are willing to spend as much money as possible.

Chuntao was also not idle. After practicing calligraphy for a while, she went to make velvet flowers and did not rest until late at night.

Shen Yan bought some gifts and could not wait to come to the Jiang residence, wanting to meet Jiang Youning.

Jiang Xubai naturally would not refuse, and asked the housekeeper to take Shen Tanhua to see Jiang Youning.

Jiang Youning had just finished breakfast and was about to go out for a while. Before she left the house, she saw Shen Yan coming.

Shen Yan saw Jiang Youning and walked over with a smile on his face, "Sister Ning'er."
