Chapter 385 [A Group of People Who Love and Hate Each Other]
Jiang Lili, who was half asleep and half awake, suddenly sat up in shock when she heard this.
She nudged Xin Che beside her and said, "No? How come we are the ones going to the Second Princess's Mansion? Do we want to go too?"
Their original plan was for Su Rui to act in the open, while Xin Che and the Xin family army would protect Su Rui in secret.
Her eyes fell on Xin Che, who was lying beside her with his disheveled black hair, the collar of his loose pajamas open, revealing his thin and sharp collarbone.
Jiang Lili coughed lightly and looked away awkwardly.
Although the two of them slept under the same quilt, one of his arms was still on the quilt around his waist, as if he was unconsciously protecting the other person even when sleeping.
Xin Che opened his eyes and withdrew his arm naturally, with a look of doubt between his brows.
He sat up, took Jiang Lili's coat and put it on her: "I'll go ask Xun San what's going on first."
"Put on your clothes first, don't catch a cold."
Xin Che got out of bed and put on a robe. He walked to the door and opened it a crack. "Third Brother Xun, my wife and I are also going to the princess's residence with Su Rui?"
Jiang Lili looked at Xin Che's broad back in his outer robe and blushed slightly. She felt that at first glance, the way they were getting along really looked like an old married couple.
Jiang Lili heard Xun San answer from outside the door: "The princess likes to keep cats. The cat room in the princess's mansion has more than a dozen precious cats, and they are often short of caretakers."
Jiang Lili was stunned when she heard this. The Princess's Mansion's Cat House was short of a manager. What did that have to do with them? Weren't they here to do business?
Then she heard Xun San say, "Su Rui said that you two are kind-hearted and have adopted a bunch of wild cats in the village. You have a lot of experience in feeding and raising cats."
"He asked me to take you along, so that the three of you can be taken care of in the princess's mansion."
Jiang Lili: ???
It's bad, it's retribution.
They made up stories about Su Rui's life, and Su Rui also made up stories for them. It was really a love-hate relationship.
She immediately poked Su Rui in the group chat interface: [Mary Sue, what's going on? What happened last night?]
@Su Rui: Li Li, did you forget about me yesterday? I was practicing that dance, and it was so awkward and torturous. I felt like I was being forced to be a duck. Before you could send someone to rescue me, I had to come up with a plan on my own.
@Su Rui: When the Third Prince's people were introducing the princess's hobbies to me, they mentioned that she loves cats and cherishes beautiful cats, treating them a hundred times better than her father. I told them you taught me how to attract cats.
Jiang Lili sighed when she saw the news. Old Sheng was really miserable. His second daughter treated cats a hundred times better than him, and his third son was so devoted to cultivating immortality that he was willing to sacrifice him.
Modern cat owners love cats as if they were their lives, and ancient people were no exception. An emperor in the Ming Dynasty not only opened an institution dedicated to raising cats in the palace, but also held a ceremony to confer titles on cats. Cats that were deeply loved by him were not only given the title of "Cat Manager", but also had ranks and could receive salaries and allowances like normal eunuchs.
@Jiang Lili: I see. Okay, I'll get up right now and let you go to the Princess's Mansion alone. We're worried, so it would be great if we could have a chance to act together!
As soon as she sent this message, she received the third message from Su Su Rui.
Princess Su Rui raised over a dozen valuable, erratic, and difficult-to-care-for cats. She despised every new cat manager for not doing a good job, and she would kill them at the drop of a hat. Therefore, despite the generous salary for the cat room manager position, no one dared to apply.
@Jiang Lili: Thank you so much! You introduced me to such a great job!
Since the princess loves cats so much, the position of cat room manager must be a prominent one.
@Su Rui: Come on, Li Li! I'm sure dealing with cats is easy for you. Why don't you just ask Xiaopang to feed them fresh catnip and catnip teasers? I don't believe these cats won't be interested!
@Su Rui: Your brother-in-law will be with you, and someone will be there to take care of your safety, and also mine.
That's true. Moreover, if the cat is feeling unwell, it can seek help from veterinarian Yan Chaoyue online.
@Jiang Lili: Okay, I'll pack up and come right over.
She attended a modern university that had a major in veterinary medicine. There was also a veterinary hospital on campus, and she also worked part-time as a receptionist. Most of the pets sent to the hospital were very close to her.
Jiang Lili thought she was quite popular with small animals, but——
Jiang Lili turned her gaze to Xin Che at the door, not knowing whether the small animals would like Xin Che with his murderous aura.
At this time, Xin Che turned his head and looked at Jiang Lili with an inquiring look, as if asking her whether she wanted to take this job.
Xun San noticed the hesitation of the young couple and added at the door: "Don't worry, you helped our Third Prince start eating well and returning to normal yesterday. You are all people who have done us a favor."
"We will send people to protect your safety. We also have spies in the Princess's Mansion. If anything unexpected happens, we will escort you to evacuation in time."
Jiang Lili nodded slightly towards Xin Che.
After Xin Che got Jiang Lili's reply, he turned to Xun San and said, "Okay, I'll come find you after my wife and I change clothes."
"Oh yes! We've prepared clothes for you to wear to the princess's mansion."
Xun San stuffed the prepared clothes into Xin Che's hands and added, "Also, Brother Xin, you're so handsome. We need to fake a few scars on your face."
"If the princess takes a fancy to you, we will become criminals and will be ashamed to face Miss Jiang."
Jiang Lili tilted her head when she heard that, but her face didn't show any nervousness or worry. She opened her eyes wide and asked in surprise, "Huh? The princess also likes married men?"
Xun San nodded, "Princesses like all good-looking ones! Not to mention that Brother Xin has a good figure. Even I think he's good in every way."
Jiang Lili listened to the serious evaluation and instructions from Military Advisor Xun and burst out laughing.
"Brother Xun, you are too kind. I will change my clothes now."
After Xin Che took the clothes, he closed the door with an unnatural look.
Seeing Jiang Lili tilting her head to look at him, he had no choice but to tidy up the clothes Jiang Lili was going to wear. After she got out of bed, he put on Jiang Lili's coat naturally.
The clothing style of Nanzhao is somewhat different from that of Dasheng. Xin Che knew that Jiang Lili sometimes couldn't even figure out how to wear Dasheng's robes, so he kindly helped her change.
The clothes sent by Xun San were in the Nanzhao style, made of silk with bright colors. The patterns on the clothes were delicate and complicated, and the style was loose. The top was a wide-laced robe, and the lower body was bell-bottom pants, which was full of exotic style.
When Jiang Lili saw Xin Che carefully helping her tidy up her clothes, she suddenly felt that this Lord God of War was brave on the battlefield, but also meticulous off the battlefield. He really had the feeling of a husband and was a good wife and family man.
Seeing Jiang Lili staring at him, Xin Che said helplessly, "Do you really want me to be chosen by the princess? Do you want to send me away?"
