For some reason, looking at Fu Hanlai like this, Jiang Xuelin felt a ticklish sensation in her heart, as if something had scratched her, or like her mother's raccoon dog seeing a little ball, wanting to scratch it. In short, it was a very subtle feeling.
Jiang Xuelin didn't know how to describe the feeling. Even though Fu Hanlai was already avoiding her, she still wanted to go up and tease him a little more, and say something.
Unaware that she was being wronged, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family chose to follow her own heart. So she ignored Fu Hanlai's resistance and squatted down in front of him, staring at him.
"Fu Ashou".
"what?!"
When the others heard Fu Hanlai's voice, they sensed a hint of bravado masking underlying weakness. The atmosphere was so subtle that none of them spoke, only glancing at him out of the corner of their eyes.
Yu Bo took a sip of his drink, cursing inwardly once again.
—As if you're the only one with a wife!
"Fu Ashou, are you embarrassed? Anyway, I've already taken you back to be my husband, so no matter how much you cry out, no one will come to save you. Give up."
Fu Hanlai: "..."
Do you want to hear what nonsense you're spouting?
Yan Liying, who was standing at the door about to knock, froze upon hearing Jiang Xuelin's words. Her expression became subtle. After hesitating for a moment, she returned to the private room next door and repeated what she had heard at the door, awaiting Emperor Xuande's instructions.
In this situation, should he continue knocking on the door to call for help?
"Hahahaha!" A hearty laugh came from Emperor Xuande's mouth as he pointed at Marquis Jing'an, his meaning clear.
Look at your daughter, Jiang Zi'an!
Is this your daughter, who is mischievous but still quite well-behaved and obedient?
After finally finishing laughing, Emperor Xuande once again ordered Yan Liying to knock on the door and tell those people to come over quickly.
Normally, if Fu Hanlai heard the familiar laughter next door, he would immediately be able to identify who was making the laugh. But the problem was that he was really too nervous right now.
He was now leaning against the corner of the wall, with Jiang Xuelin squatting in front of him, looking very excited. Her bright and sparkling eyes made Fu Hanlai not dare to look directly at her.
As for Jiang Xuelin's apology...
"Nonsense! I've seen countless women, how could I be embarrassed by such a small matter? I'm angry! Do you understand? I'm angry because of you! In public, you should at least show some restraint. Also, that woman in white clearly had ill intentions, and I'm furious too. Haven't you ever heard of being burning with anger?"
The more he talked, the more confident and self-assured Fu Hanlai became.
Anyway, he wouldn't admit that he blushed because he was embarrassed by Jiang Xuelin's words.
He wouldn't be embarrassed about that!
impossible!
"Oh—" Jiang Xuelin suddenly realized, and then reached out her hand again.
She just wanted to scratch it again.
Fu Hanlai immediately swallowed hard and pressed himself against the wall.
Fortunately, a knock on the door saved him. He immediately slid under Jiang Xuelin's arm, got up, and ran to open the door. "It's probably the waiter bringing things up. You guys are so lazy, you didn't even bother to open the door for the waiter..."
The door opened.
Standing outside the door was Yan Liying, whose face was all wrinkled from smiling.
Fu Hanlai paused for a moment, then closed the door again. He quickly darted back to the table, righted the chair that had been overturned, and sat down. "I don't know him, and he's not the waiter. I guess someone got the wrong private room. Don't worry about it."
Others: "..."
Fu Hanlai moved too quickly, and the others did not see Yan Liying at the door. Moreover, apart from Jiang Xuelin, the others did not recognize the chief eunuch who was most favored by Emperor Xuande. They just thought Fu Hanlai's actions were a bit strange.
However, heaven knows that Fu Hanlai's rationality was about to collapse.
Why is Yan Liying here?
ah?!
Why is he here?
If he's here, then where is his uncle? Is he here too? Did Yan Liying come to fetch someone on his uncle's orders? If so, did Yan Liying hear their conversation just now?
He didn't control himself well and spoke a little too loudly, but Yan Liying just knocked on the door, so she probably didn't hear a couple of words.
Yes, yes, he definitely didn't hear his conversation with Jiang Xuelin; it couldn't be such a coincidence.
Fu Hanlai frantically tried to comfort himself, just then Yan Liying, who was locked out of the door, knocked on the door again.
Everyone else looked at Fu Hanlai, and the servants and maids who followed him didn't dare to open the door. They also looked at Fu Hanlai, waiting for his instructions.
Jiang Xuelin sensed something was amiss. She glanced at Fu Hanlai, then got up and angrily opened the door—she wanted to see who had made Fu Hanlai react so strangely.
Seeing Jiang Xuelin go to open the door, Fu Hanlai did not stop her, but just slumped in the chair with a look of utter despair.
As soon as Jiang Xuelin opened the door, she saw Yan Liying standing at the door with a smile on her face, and... her biological father standing behind Yan Liying with a smile on his face as well.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Xuelin slammed the door shut again with lightning speed, her demeanor calm and composed. "I don't know her. She probably really went to the wrong place."
Others: "..."
We'd be a fool to believe that!
Twice locked out, Yan Liying's smile froze. The Marquis of Jing'an had been smiling at his rarely seen daughter, but before he could even finish his smile, his darling Lin'er slammed the door shut, and he froze instantly.
"Eunuch Yan, let me knock on the door."
Unconvinced, Marquis Jing'an pushed past Yan Liying and knocked on the door.
The door was knocked on for the third time, and the people inside looked even stranger. They glanced at Jiang Xuelin and Fu Hanlai, then at the door, and all gasped as if some ferocious beast was standing behind it.
—Who on earth could make this fearless couple act this way?
Just then, voices finally came from the doorway.
"Lin'er, open the door, it's your father!"
Jiang Xuelin: "..."
well.
It's not an illusion.
If her father tells her mother when he gets back, her mother will probably scold her again.
Her father works in this restaurant, so he must know what happened downstairs just now; it can't be kept secret.
There was also Steward Yan, who followed the imperial merchant.
If he's here, then where is the Emperor?
Her father is on duty today, so why is he here?
so……
No wonder Fu Hanlai had that expression just now.
With a sigh, Jiang Xuelin stood up, opened the door to the private room again, and asked knowingly, "Father, Father-in-law, what are you doing here?"
Yan Liying smiled and bowed to Jiang Xuelin, "Princess Consort, the Third Prince requests that you and the Prince come over. He wishes to meet you."
