Jiang Yuanyi was stunned for a few seconds, and nodded in Xiao Tingyi's straightforward gaze. Crisp and determined

There was a sharp and sassy look between her stunning eyebrows.

Xiao Tingyi raised her eyebrows slightly, and after a long time, she chuckled: "You are worthy of marrying into my Xiao family."

Jiang Yuanyi lowered her head slightly.

When Xiao Tingyi talked about this, her heroic spirit and coldness naturally emerged. She asked softly: "Can I ask the reason?"

Tong Yuan also asked the same question, and Jiang Yuanyi remembered her answer.

Jiang Yuanyi raised her head and looked at Xiao Tuo on the arena, and her voice seemed to overlap with the last time.

"I want to protect him."

Xiao Ting looked up at Jiang Yuanyi in surprise. She was looking at the arena with her head turned to the side. Her profile was perfect and smooth, as bright as the moon. Those clear and spiritual eyes, with a smile and something that Xiao Tingyi couldn't see through, stared at Xiao Tuo with a sparkling look.

This was an answer she had never thought of.

She used to be like Xiao Tuo. She didn't like being arranged by her parents since birth. She hated war and blood. But she also hated it very much that everyone said that women were inferior to men, and that women should pick flowers and embroider.

Although Xiao Kangyuan and Xiao Shi never thought of letting her join the army, they had been teaching her martial arts.

The border war was tense that year, and the repeated losses were all because of intelligence. She heard her father and brother discussing in the study. After they reported to the emperor, she knelt down in the hall, kowtowed, and said that she wanted to join the army.

Xiao Kangyuan did not answer her immediately. He discussed with his mother all night and agreed to her request.

She joined the army because she didn't want her parents to do it and the matchmaker to say that a girl should get married after she reached the age of 15.

Jiang Yuanyi's reason was different from hers. It was very special.

Xiao Tingyi retracted his gaze and smiled: "Tuo'er is so lucky."

Jiang Yuanyi turned around and whispered: "I am." So lucky.

Xiao Tuo and Lin Zhengyu fought hard on the arena.

In the end, Xiao Tuo won by choking Lin Zhengyu's neck first.

The two always believed in the principle of not hitting people in the face when fighting. They suffered a lot of injuries on their bodies, but their faces were clean. Except for the slightly narrowed eyes and the slightly twitching corners of their mouths, they revealed that they were not as good as they looked.

Xiao Tuo kicked Lin Zhengyu with a triumphant smile: "Tell me more about the order of seniority?"

Lin Zhengyu was defeated in one move and could not raise his head for at least a year, so he swallowed his anger and walked down the arena.

Jiang Yuanyi walked to Xiao Tuo, raised his head and asked him: "Are you injured?"

Xiao Tuo endured the pain and shook his head: "How could I get injured with him?"

Lin Zhengyu glanced at him: "Sister-in-law, go back and take a good look at his injuries."

Seeing that the two were about to fight again, Jiang Yuanyi quickly pulled Xiao Tuo.

After lunch, Jiang Yuanyi and Xiao Tuo left because they had to go back to their parents' home tomorrow.

The two of them sat in the carriage on the way back home. Xiao Tuo held Jiang Yuanyi's white jade-like hand and played with it. Her fingers and palms were covered with ulcers. Xiao Tuo remembered something, looked up at Jiang Yuanyi, and asked, "What did you talk about with your sister? You were so happy?"

There was a section of the dirt road that was not very smooth, and the carriage was shaking slightly. Jiang Yuan leaned on Xiao Tuo's broad shoulders, closed his eyes slightly, and said lazily, "We were talking about you."

Xiao Tuo lowered his eyes slightly and looked at Jiang Yuanyi: "Me?"

Jiang Yuanyi pursed her lips: "Yeah."

Xiao Tuo: "What did you talk about?"

Jiang Yuanyi leaned lightly on him as if she had fallen asleep, and there was no sound. She usually takes a nap at this time of day. Xiao Tuo knew that she was really tired, so he hugged her waist, adjusted her head, and changed to a more comfortable position to lean on him.

Her breathing was very light, and even though she was leaning very close to him, Xiao Tuo could not hear it clearly, as if she was a delicate and fragile porcelain doll.

Xiao Tuo turned his head slightly and gently rubbed her forehead.

After returning to the Duke's Mansion, the two began to prepare for the return visit tomorrow.

Zhu Xuan and Zhu Yi had already counted the gifts and prepared the clothes to be worn tomorrow and hung them on the wooden board.

The two did not worry about anything, and went to bed after dinner.

In the middle of the night, the shy and suppressed voice of a girl occasionally overflowed in the silent wind. The two shuddered at the same time and fell to the ground in sweat.

Xiao Tuo carried her to the prepared bathtub behind the screen to wash. Jiang Yuanyi was too tired to lift her hands, and her thin arms were curled up in her arms.

After Xiao Tuo dried her, he put on his loose undershirt for her, carried her to the bed, covered her with a quilt, and then ran to take a bath himself.

He changed his clothes, curled up in the bed and held the little girl in his arms.

She was fragrant and soft, and Xiao Tuo couldn't help but pecked her face lightly.

Jiang Yuanyi closed her eyes, her voice a little hoarse, and said coquettishly: "A-Tuo...I'm sleepy."

Xiao Tuo's heart softened, and he coaxed her softly: "Go to sleep."

Jiang Yuanyi said "um" softly, found a comfortable position in Xiao Tuo's arms, and fell asleep soundly.

——When

going back to the parents' home, people usually leave at noon. Xiao Tuo was so excited that he got up at dawn. He looked radiant and put on a raven-blue satin jacket from Hangzhou, which looked elegant and sharp.

He did not ask Jiang Yuanyi to get up. He first counted the gift list, then sent someone to get some hot water and brought it to the room himself.

Jiang Yuanyi was still sleeping soundly. Her snow-white skin was slightly peach-pink, her breathing was shallow, and her eyelashes were long.

Xiao Tuo could not bear to wake her up. He waited until she showed signs of waking up before he went forward, gently picked her up, and wiped her face.

Jiang Yuanyi fell into Xiao Tuo's arms, closed her eyes and complained quietly: "...It's all your fault."

Xiao Tuo kissed her lips: "Yeah, it's all my fault."

Jiang Yuanyi was really sleepy and tired. She waited for Xiao Tuo to put on her inner clothes, and then called the maid to help her dress up.

------

The return of a new aunt after three days is a big deal in any family. After all, after this day, even if they are close, a married daughter cannot return to her parents' home casually.

Jiang got up early to prepare, set up a banquet, and invited relatives, friends and neighbors.

The banquet was already set up in the front hall, and the maids walked in and out in an orderly manner with trays.

Nanny Li trotted in happily: "Madam, the second young lady and the aunt are here!"

Jiang quickly got up from the chair, straightened her clothes, walked to the side and called out: "Master! Hurry up, Yi'er and the others are here!"

Many people gathered at the door of Jiang's house to watch the excitement, all wanting to see the beauty who had just married into the Duke's Mansion. When they saw the carriage with eagle and cloud patterns painted on it and silver bells hanging on the side slowly approaching, they all raised their heads and looked forward.

The maid took out a small stool and put it on the ground. A pair of slender hands lifted the curtain, and a handsome and heroic face came into view. Xiao Tuo jumped off the carriage swiftly, slightly leaned forward, and a pair of white jade-like soft and slender hands stretched out and placed on Xiao Tuo's hands.

With the other hand, she opened the curtain and leaned out.

She lowered her head, so people couldn't see her face clearly. They only felt that the woman was slender, graceful, and elegant.

Jiang Yuanyi held Xiao Tuo's hand and stepped on the wooden stool to get off the carriage. Her feet in the moon-white bird-shaped shoes stepped lightly on the stone bricks, and then she slowly raised her head.

The surroundings instantly sounded in unison, followed by slow sighs.

Facing such a beauty, jealousy does not arise in the heart, but makes people want to admire her.

The woman's eyebrows are like green feathers, her skin is like ice and jade, her waist is like a bundle of silk, and she is as slender as a willow. Just a slight glance makes people fascinated and involuntarily follow that figure.

The hands holding hers were slightly sweaty. Jiang Yuanyi raised her eyes with a smile and looked at Xiao Tuo: "Are you nervous?"

After all, she was not liked by her mother-in-law from the beginning. Xiao Tuo cared about Jiang Yuanyi and naturally hoped that his parents would like her too.

Xiao Tuo did not deny it and said "hmm" softly.

The two walked into the gate of Jiang's house and saw Jiang Nansheng and Jiang Shi standing far away under the eaves. Although they pretended to have stern faces, they showed some joy that they could not hide from time to time.

Jiang Yuanyi raised her other hand and gently held Xiao Tuo's hand: "Don't worry. They like you too."

Xiao Tuo didn't believe it and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Really?"

Jiang Yuanyi nodded affirmatively: "Yes."

When Jiang Yuanyi saw her parents, brothers and sisters, her steps became a little lighter involuntarily. She ran over in small steps and threw herself into the arms of her mother and sister.

Jiang's eyes suddenly became moist, and she hugged her tightly for a long time before letting her go, looking at Jiang Yuanyi bit by bit.

The girl had bright eyes, white teeth, rosy cheeks, and her smile was full of joy.

She looked down and saw Xiao Tuo standing below, looking a little embarrassed.

The people from the Duke's Mansion carried in the gifts, and the group of people, led by Butler Li, went to the side room.

Jiang Yuanyi ran down and held Xiao Tuo's hand, and the two of them walked into the hall together, knelt down and offered tea.

Jiang Yuanyi called softly, "Father, Mother."

Xiao Tuo coughed lightly and then called out, "Father, Mother."

Xiao Tuo restrained his usual casualness, stood upright, and looked upright and energetic. Jiang nodded secretly, and felt relieved.

After all, the marriage was over, so she could only hope for the two of them to be well.

Jiang Nansheng and Jiang drank tea and raised their hands gently. Xiao Tuo stood up first, then immediately stretched out his hand and gently pulled Jiang Yuanyi up.

His movements were familiar and natural, and his sharp face had a gentle expression.

After the greetings, Jiang Yuanyi followed Jiang into the bedroom and talked in private, while Xiao Tuo went to the garden with his father and brother.

During the conversation, Jiang Yuanyi was inevitably asked about sex. Jiang Yuanyi was too embarrassed to say more and just answered a few perfunctorily.

Seeing her blushing face, her sister-in-law guessed a little and said softly, "Sister, your body is not fully grown yet. You have to persuade the new aunt to be more restrained, otherwise you will suffer."

Jiang Xirong was shy and confused when she heard this. She blinked her watery autumn eyes and looked around.

Jiang Yuanyi's face was red as blood and she whispered, "Yes, thank you, sister-in-law."

Jiang sent Xiaoqing to keep an eye on Xiao Tuo. When she came back, she asked Xiaoqing to tell Li Ma Ma. Xiaoqing seemed to be bribed by Xiao Tuo and said that their new aunt was so good to the young lady. Except for asking for more in sex, he was as considerate as possible in other aspects.

Hearing Xiaoqing say this, Nanny Li naturally smiled and told Jiang.

Jiang's daughter looked shy and happy, and her anxious heart finally let go.
