Chapter 219 The Emperor Comes to Welcome Him in Person
As the shabby door was kicked open, the cold wind rushed in.
Nan Mianmian shivered, and when she saw the person at the door, it was Leng Xiao, who she was so familiar with, she almost cried with joy, "Leng Xiao, you are finally here, you scared me to death."
Nan Mianmian's tears flowed uncontrollably, feeling wronged and scared.
The fierce-looking man saw someone leaving and disturbing their brothers' good deeds, and roared: "I advise you not to meddle in other people's business, hurry up and get out, otherwise, we brothers will be rude to you."
"Hurry up and leave, don't disturb my good deeds." The man with a black mole on his face roared.
Leng Xiao saw this scene when he opened the door, his eyes suddenly turned cold: "My father is already in the coffin."
Before the two men could react, they were solved by Leng Xiao in two moves, kneeling on the ground begging for mercy.
Nan Mianmian was stunned when she saw this scene, Leng Xiao was so powerful!
Leng Xiao strode over, squatted in front of Nan Mianmian, and neatly untied the ropes on her hands and feet.
Nan Mianmian looked at Leng Xiao who was so close to her. In fact, he was handsome, but in front of Xie Jing, it was covered up.
"Why didn't I realize you were so powerful before?"
Leng Xiao paused and replied calmly, "It's not too late to realize it now."
Nan Mianmian felt that what he said made sense, and she asked again, "Is your father really in the coffin?"
Leng Xiao raised his eyes and glanced at Nan Mianmian, "Yes."
Then he took the rope and tied up the two men.
Nan Mianmian was tidying up her clothes and found that they were torn by them and couldn't be tied. She stamped her feet in anger and tears flowed down again.
After Leng Xiao tied up the two men, he turned around to look at Nan Mianmian and found that she was lowering her head, holding her clothes tightly with both hands, and her shoulders were shaking. She was crying.
"Third Madam, what's wrong?" He walked over.
Nan Mianmian raised her head and looked at him, choking with sobs: "The clothes are torn."
Hearing this, Leng Xiao looked at her clothes again and found that they were torn in several places. If he walked out and was seen, who knows what he would say.
After a moment of hesitation, he took off his clothes and put them on her petite body.
"Madam, please wear them for now."
Nan Mianmian looked down at her navy blue clothes, which still retained his warmth. The clothes were large and could cover her whole body.
Leng Xiao reminded her: "Madam, go back."
Nan Mianmian raised her head and looked at Leng Xiao, and suddenly realized that he was no worse than Xie Jing, and Xie Jing would not treat her like this.
Seeing her standing still, Leng Xiao reminded her, "Madam San, we should go back."
Nan Mianmian said a little embarrassedly, "Leng Xiao, my legs are weak and I can't walk."
Leng Xiao looked at her legs and saw that she was leaning against the wall with one hand on the wall, obviously frightened.
"I'm sorry." Leng Xiao said, picked up Nan Mianmian and strode out.
Nan Mianmian screamed and instinctively hugged his neck, looking at Leng Xiao with an expressionless face, "You haven't hugged other women, have you?"
Leng Xiao was about to use Qinggong, but he was defeated by this sentence and almost stepped on empty air and fell down.
Although the two did not fall down, they did bump a little.
Nan Mianmian asked casually, but she didn't expect Leng Xiao to react so strongly.
She also knew that she had gone too far. If she fell, she would definitely be the one in pain.
"I was just asking casually. Although you have never hugged a woman, your hugging posture is still very good. There is no problem with the position of your hands."
Nan Mianmian just wanted to compliment Leng Xiao, but this time, she really missed a step.
The two fell straight down from the tree trunk.
Nan Mianmian screamed in shock, "Ah!!!"
Leng Xiao felt that his eardrums were about to be deafened. Soon, he took a breath again to stop his body from sliding down rapidly, and then stepped on the branches with his toes to gain leverage and flew up again.
"Third Madam, it's better not to speak."
Nan Mianmian was still in shock. Hearing this, she nodded hurriedly, "I know."
Nan Mianmian breathed a sigh of relief. She was almost scared to death.
She looked at Leng Xiao and noticed with her sharp eyes that his ears were red.
It was the first time that Nan Mianmian saw a man with red ears. She wondered if he was cold.
She asked cautiously, "Are you cold?"
Leng Xiao answered concisely, "No."
Nan Mianmian snorted in her heart. He said he was not cold, but his ears were red.
"Don't lie to me. Your ears are red."
Nan Mianmian pointed at his ears.
Leng Xiao missed a step again, but fortunately he reacted in time and stabilized his body that was falling rapidly.
Nan Mianmian knew that she had said something she shouldn't have said again.
Leng Xiao glanced at Nan Mianmian and reminded her, "Madam, you have a lot of free time, so just keep talking."
Nan Mianmian quickly shut her mouth. She hadn't lived long enough.
Leng Xiao felt that his ears were finally quiet.
After returning safely to the general's mansion, Leng Xiao ordered his subordinates to take the two gangsters back to the palace and not hand them over to the government, for fear that the two would talk nonsense and ruin Nan Mianmian's reputation.
The first thing Nan Mianmian did after returning was to take a bath.
She sat in the bathtub, the mist lingering, and her cheeks were slightly red.
Thinking back to everything that happened today, she is still scared.
If Leng Xiao hadn't shown up in time, she would be finished.
Xiuhe saw Nan Mianmian coming back wearing men's clothes, and guessed that something serious had happened.
While wiping Nan Mianmian's arm with a bath towel, she asked, "Girl, what happened? Why did you come back wearing men's clothes?"
Nan Mianmian is afraid now, so how could she think about it again?
"Don't ask anymore."
Nan Mianmian looked at the clothes on the hanger. It was Leng Xiao's.
"Miss, don't go out alone in the future. It's too dangerous." Xiuhe followed the girl today, but in the blink of an eye, the girl disappeared. She looked for her for a long time but couldn't see her. She was scared to death.
"She wouldn't go out alone." After what happened today, she would never dare to go out alone.
Anyway, she didn't dare to go out recently.
After taking a bath, Nan Mianmian looked at the navy blue clothes and said, "Wash the clothes."
Xiuhe glanced at the clothes on the hanger and nodded, "I know."
After the clothes were washed, Nan Mianmian asked Xiuhe to call Leng Xiao over.
When Leng Xiao came, Nan Mianmian was sitting at the table drinking tea.
Leng Xiao stepped forward and saluted, "What does the Third Madam want me to do?"
Nan Mianmian frowned angrily when she heard the Third Madam, "She has been married for so long and has not consummated the marriage, what kind of Third Madam is she?"
Nan Mianmian muttered softly, but Leng Xiao studied martial arts and had extraordinary hearing, so he heard it all.
It is no secret that the general never goes to the rooms of the Second Madam and the Third Madam, and everyone in the mansion knows it.
Leng Xiao naturally knows it too.
But he didn't say anything.
Nan Mianmian raised her head and looked at Leng Xiao, then stood up and picked up the washed clothes and handed them to him, "Look, your clothes have been washed."
Leng Xiao lowered his eyes and saw that he didn't get to snatch the clothes, they were his clothes for sure.
He thought Nan Mianmian had thrown the dress away on the day she came back, but he had washed it thoroughly.
Nan Mianmian saw that he was staring at the dress but not taking it, so she pushed the dress in front of him again, "Take it."
Leng Xiao hesitated for a while, but still reached out to take it.
Nan Mianmian saw that he took it, and then she smiled, "Thank you for showing up in time this time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. What reward do you want?"
Leng Xiao lowered his eyebrows and nodded, "These are what I should do."
Nan Mianmian snorted, "Of course it's what you should do, and the reward is also my responsibility. Tell me, what reward do you want?"
Leng Xiao said, "I don't need a reward, as long as the Third Madam is fine."
Nan Mianmian was stubborn with him. The more he didn't want it, the more she wanted to give it.
"Don't rush to answer me, let's think about what kind of reward to give."
Leng Xiao had no choice but to agree.
"Madam, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
Nan Mianmian thought about it carefully and found that there was nothing else.
"Nothing else, you can leave."
"I will take my leave." Leng Xiao took the clothes and left.
Nan Mianmian saw Leng Xiao leave, sat back in the chair, and sighed, "So boring!"
Leng Xiao walked in the garden with the clothes. Leng Yu came towards him and saw him holding the clothes in his hand. He joked, "Hey, which girl made new clothes for you?"
Leng Xiao glared at Leng Yu and said, "Go to hell, who would make clothes for me? I have worn this clothes before. It's not new."
How did Leng Yu know if this clothes was something he had worn before?
Instead, he continued to joke, "What's there to be embarrassed about? Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. If you like someone, let the general arrange a marriage for you."
Leng Xiao heard this and reminded him, "Don't talk nonsense. Be careful that there are ears on the other side of the wall."
Leng Yu quickly shut up. The general was still alive, and no one else knew about it. There was no news now, so naturally he couldn't leak it.
After finally getting Leng Yu to shut up, Leng Xiao was afraid of being joked by others again, so he hurriedly took his clothes and went back to his room.
Nan Mianmian had been recuperating for two days, and when she was feeling bored, Mrs. Nan came to visit her.
The mother and daughter hadn't seen each other for a while, so they talked about some intimate things.
But as they talked, they talked about the topic of remarriage.
"Mianmian, listen to me. Remarry while you are still young, or you will regret it."
Nan Mianmian knew that her mother was doing this for her own good. Maybe because she had been married once, she was not in such a hurry to get married now.
However, she did need to find someone worthy of her trust.
"Mother, I understand. I'll tell you when Madam comes back."
Madam Nan asked, "Where is Madam? Why hasn't she been seen for so many days? The general's coffin has been parked there and has not been buried?"
"How should I know?" Nan Mianmian sighed. She also wanted to know where Jiang Youning had gone, but after so many days, there was no news at all.
"General Xie was indeed a rare and talented general, but it's a pity that he died young. However, even if he hadn't died young, it would be useless if he didn't come to your house."
Madam Nan paused here and continued, "Your grandfather has always regretted why he didn't support you at the beginning. Seeing you living in the general's mansion as a widow, your grandfather must have felt bad."
Nan Mianmian felt even more guilty when she heard this, "It was me who was wronged at the beginning. "Grandpa shouldn't feel guilty about marrying a general at all costs."
Nan Mianmian grabbed Madam Nan's hand and said, "Mother, go back and tell grandpa that this is all my own choice. No matter how difficult it is, I will go on. But don't worry, I will choose a husband carefully in the future." Madam Nan was
relieved to hear this. She felt that her daughter seemed to have grown up suddenly. She used to be spoiled and self-righteous.
Now she knows that it is her fault.
"I'll tell your grandfather that you really need to open your eyes and choose a husband carefully.
You can't be careless when it comes to supporting each other for life." Nan Mianmian nodded vigorously, "I know, mother, don't worry."
"Okay, I'll go back, and I'll also pick a good husband for you."
After sending Madam Nan away, Nan Mianmian sighed, "When will Jiang Youning come back!"
On the way back, she saw Leng Xiao from a distance, and she called out, "Leng Xiao."
Leng Xiao stopped and looked back at the voice. He knew it was Nan Mianmian from the voice.
She walked over with her handkerchief dropped, and suddenly remembered that the handkerchief she dropped last time was still with him, and she had forgotten to return it to her.
In fact, it’s not that I forgot completely, but a handkerchief fell on the ground, and Nan Mianmian was afraid that she would dislike it and would not want it, so I didn’t give it to her for a long time.
He stepped forward and clasped his fists and saluted, "Third Madam."
Nan Mianmian waved her hands, "Don't salute, I have something to ask you."
Leng Xiao said, "Third Madam asks."
Nan Mianmian said, "Where did Madam go after she fell down? Can you tell me the truth? I've been waiting for her to come back. When she comes back, I will go back to my parents' home."
Leng Xiao also guessed what Nan Mianmian meant by hearing this. The second wife had remarried, and the third wife should be remarried soon.
"When Madam comes back, it would be better for Third Madam to ask Madam in person."
Nan Mianmian was a little unhappy when she heard this. She thought that after the last incident, their relationship had become closer, but in the end, he still used this sentence to perfunctorily deal with her.
"The same sentence again, it's really hard to get you to tell the truth."
Nan Mianmian snorted and turned away.
Leng Xiao watched her leave angrily, sighing helplessly, "Even if you ask me a hundred times, I will still say the same thing. "
In short, there is no more words.
Today is sunny and a little warmer.
After a month's journey, we finally arrived in Jinling.
Jiang Youning couldn't suppress her excitement, loosened the curtain, looked back at Xie Jing, "We are already in Jinling, when will we get to the general's mansion?"
Xie Jing said, "Tomorrow."
"That means, I will be home when I wake up after a good sleep." Jiang Youning was even more excited now, and finally went home.
The people sent by Xue Yi had already gone back in advance, and the emperor should know that the general was back.
After all, the general married the princess of Chenyi Kingdom, which is a big deal and cannot be neglected.
Xiao Yun received the news a few days ago that Xie Jing would return to Jinling in five days.
He was so excited that he laughed out loud.
He had never been so happy in these days.
Of course, he also knew Jiang Youning's identity, that she was the princess of Chenyi Kingdom.
Xie Jing marrying the princess was also a happy event.
The next morning, Xiao Yun took people to the city tower to personally welcome Xie Jing and Princess Rong'an of Chenyi Kingdom.
Rong'an was Jiang Youning's title.
When the carriage arrived at the city gate, someone came forward to report.
"General, the emperor is waiting on the city gate."
