In fact, if possible, Jiang Xuelin suggested that she stay at the Prince Ping's residence for the time being, as it would be safer and more peaceful there. Li Wenfeng could not protect her, and Li Wenruo was in the eye of the storm at that time.
All of these incidents, on the surface, originated from her.
It would be best to stay until the matter calms down. Even if that's not possible, we should at least stay in a safe place.
Jiang Xuelin had something on her mind, but when she arrived at the entrance of Yuhong Courtyard, she heard voices and laughter coming from inside.
The laughter also came from Li Wenruo.
Such a clear and cheerful laugh was a rare sight for this sensitive and shy girl. At least, after she arrived at the Prince Ping's residence, Jiang Xuelin had visited her many times, but had never seen her laugh so happily and relaxed.
This made Jiang Xuelin a little curious.
Then she heard a somewhat familiar voice, but couldn't quite place it. It was Green Ivy behind her who reminded her, "Princess Consort, it's the Consort."
After Green Ivy mentioned it, Jiang Xuelin finally remembered.
Consort Yang rarely appeared on ordinary days, and Jiang Xuelin had only seen her two or three times, which is why she couldn't recall her voice for a moment, only finding it somewhat familiar.
When Jiang Xue went inside, she indeed saw Consort Yang sitting in the courtyard, talking to Li Wenruo. Li Wenruo still had a smile on her face, and Consort Yang also had a smile on her face.
A very genuine smile.
"Sister Xuelin!" Li Wenruo's eyes lit up when she saw Jiang Xuelin.
She hadn't seen Sister Xuelin for several days.
Jiang Xuelin nodded to Li Wenruo, patted her head gently, and then smiled at Consort Yang, "How has Consort Yang been lately?"
Consort Yang stepped aside to avoid Jiang Xuelin's greeting, accepting only half of it. Upon hearing this, she smiled and said, "You've been doing well lately. I've also heard about what the Crown Prince and Princess Consort have been doing. The Crown Prince's wife is a woman of great talent."
This wasn't just polite talk; Consort Yang genuinely thought so.
She had come to see Li Wenruo almost every day for the past few days and had heard a lot from her. She admired Jiang Xuelin from the bottom of her heart and knew that she was a woman completely different from herself.
Outgoing, vibrant, and fearless.
The three sat down and chatted. Jiang Xuelin was surprised to find that Consort Yang and Li Wenruo were quite familiar with each other, but considering Li Wenruo's laughter earlier, it wasn't unexpected.
Seeing Jiang Xuelin's curiosity, Li Wenruo blushed, but still turned her head and instructed Hongluo to bring out the items. In the end, she brought out two crabapple nets, only they were different colors.
"Sister Xuelin, you and the young master have helped my brother and me so much, but I have nothing to repay you with. Knowing that you like crabapple blossoms, I made you a crabapple knot. I hope you won't find it distasteful."
Li Wenruo blushed and seemed a little nervous as she said this.
She finally managed to make the crabapple knot herself, and after being reminded by Consort Yang, she made several more. She became more and more skilled, and the knots she made became better and better, until finally she chose the most exquisite one.
The other one was prepared by Consort Yang for Fu Han.
"Oh? How could I dislike it? My hands have always been fond of wielding knives and spears, and I'm really not very familiar with needlework. Even the governess at home said that my hands are very clumsy. Now that I have Wenruo's knot, I don't know how much I like it!" Jiang Xuelin picked up the bright red knot, her face showing undisguised delight.
She's really not good at these things, and she can't sit still.
She could spend several hours practicing martial arts, but she was unwilling to spend several hours sitting there making knots or embroidering a piece of embroidery.
Perhaps they simply lack the talent.
Seeing how much Jiang Xuelin liked it, Li Wenruo was even happier.
"By the way, this knot is for the young master, but I didn't make it; it was made by the concubine. Sister Xuelin, would you like to take it with you to the young master?"
Li Wenruo then introduced Jiang Xuelin to the deep red crabapple blossom pendant. Compared to the one in Jiang Xuelin's hand, that one was more dignified. Although it was a crabapple blossom pendant, it wouldn't look too frivolous on a man.
Of course, even if it was a bit frivolous, Fu Hanlai wouldn't mind, given his personality.
Jiang Xuelin looked at the tassel, then at Li Wenruo, and couldn't help but laugh out loud—oh, it seems that Fu Hanlai's fondness for begonias can't be kept a secret any longer.
"Wenruo is a thoughtful girl, but she's only eight years old. There's no need for her to be so concerned about the separation of men and women. However, I was worried that she might disturb the young master and his wife, so at first I hesitated and didn't know how to thank the young master," Consort Yang sighed and suddenly said from the side.
She was also praising Li Wenruo to Jiang Xuelin.
"Don't think so much. She's just a young girl. She doesn't need to worry about these things. Just leave them to the adults." Jiang Xuelin sighed inwardly, knowing that it was truly heartbreaking to see Li Wenruo develop such a personality.
"By the way, I came here to tell you some good news. Your brother has been released. Would you like to see him tomorrow? He misses you quite a bit."
Li Wenruo was genuinely pleasantly surprised when Li Wenfeng was mentioned.
These days, what she's most worried about is Li Wenfeng. Jiang Xuelin and the others have said that Li Wenfeng has only suffered a minor injury and it's nothing serious, but Li Wenruo is always worried that Jiang Xuelin is just comforting her and keeping it from her.
Hearing that she could see Li Wenfeng, the breath she had been holding in finally dissipated.
Upon hearing this, Consort Yang's previously composed smile became somewhat stiff.
Jiang Xuelin didn't bother her for too long; she just came to tell Li Wenruo to put her mind at ease, and that she could take a short rest when she got back.
A lot happened today, and she wanted to go back and rest for a while.
