Chapter 6 [Really Fragrance]
Jiang Lili learned from the original owner's memory that three months ago, when Marquis Zhaoping and his son were on their way back to the capital, Emperor Qingning issued an imperial decree to confer the title of Princess Dunlun on Xin Ningyu, the only daughter of Marquis Zhaoping and Xin Che's sister, and sent her to the northwestern grassland tribe to marry and become the Khan's concubine!
The three of them, father and son, fought on the battlefield for Emperor Qingning, but this was the outcome they got!
I don’t know if Emperor Qingning deliberately concealed the news, but when Xin Che returned to Beijing, he found out that his sister’s marriage carriage was almost reaching the grassland tribe!
We haven't seen each other for five years, not even the last time.
As a person who just traveled through time, Jiang Lili already hated the old man Emperor Qingning.
Xin Ningyu was only seventeen years old, the same age as her original body. In history, most princesses who went to marry foreign princes died young, and some who were lucky enough to survive lived a very humiliating life.
Wait, marriage alliance, grassland tribe?
Jiang Lili paused for a moment. Could it be that the grassland tribe where Xin Che's third sister was marrying was the same grassland tribe where her classmate, "Mr. Kidney Deficiency" Yan Chaoyue, lived?
Seeing that everyone was busy, she planned to find a suitable time to ask for clarification. Right now, Yang's safety was the most important thing.
She walked over to Xin Che and asked, "How can I help? What do you need right now?"
Before Xin Che could answer, Chen pushed Jiang Lili away and said, "You're almost dead, what are you pretending to be?"
Xin Che quickly supported Jiang Lili and shook his head at Chen: "Sister-in-law, don't take your anger out on her. Mother is just too tired."
"If it weren't for her, would my mother have fainted from anger?"
Chen had long been fed up with Jiang Lili's mischief, but the Marquis of Zhaoping and his wife always protected her, so she couldn't say anything.
Xin Che's younger brother Xin Cheng is a taciturn person, while Chen is just the opposite, a fierce and aggressive person.
Now seeing that her mother was dying, Chen finally couldn't help but burst into tears and took out all her anger on Jiang Lili.
"Mother needs to be well fed and well rested in bed. Even a god wouldn't be able to help us in our current situation. Can you do it?!"
Chen pointed at Jiang Lili's nose and cursed, "It's all your fault, you troublemaker! You've been restless all along the way!"
"How much does your mother worry about you?"
Jiang Lili glanced at Chen and only heard a noise in her ears.
She touched her pocket, and just as Chen was getting hysterical, Jiang Lili quickly stuffed a steamed cake with milk flavor into her mouth, blocking her mouth tightly.
“Mmmmm—”
Chen's mouth was blocked and she opened her eyes wide. Jiang Lili dared to block her mouth?
Everyone didn't see clearly what Jiang Lili stuffed into Chen's mouth. They just thought that Jiang Lili thought Chen was noisy and stuffed something into Chen's mouth.
This spoiled prince's consort has no manners on weekdays, and now she even dares to make a move on his brother's sister-in-law Chen!
You have to know that Chen took care of the elderly and children along the way and supported the entire marquis' mansion.
How dare Jiang Lili, such a troublemaker?!
Chen was confused when Jiang Lili blocked her mouth with something. She was furious and was about to spit out the things in her mouth and scold Jiang Lili, but she found that the white ball exuded a sweet milky smell that filled her mouth.
Chen couldn't help chewing it.
It smells so good!
Soft and fluffy, sweet and tender, it activated her taste buds that had been tortured by thin rice soup since her exile!
Chen wanted to ask more questions, but her mouth was faster than her brain, and she finished the milk-flavored cake in her mouth in no time.
The murderous look on her face turned into an expression of enjoying delicious food.
Xin Cheng, who was about to defend his wife, saw Chen's incredible change. He had a keen nose and smelled the fragrance. The words on his lips turned into: "Sister-in-law, is there anything else?"
As soon as Xin Cheng said this, he was glared at by Chen.
Xin Cheng said awkwardly, "I'm asking this for Brother Yan."
Xin Yan, who was being led by Xin Cheng, stared at Jiang Lili eagerly. Although he wanted to eat, he did not make a fuss or say, "I...I don't want to eat."
Xin Yan was very afraid of his aunt Jiang Lili. His aunt had always been very impatient with him, so he decided not to annoy her anymore.
Jiang Lili saw that Xin Yan's cheeks were so thin and sunken. The five-year-old children she had seen all had chubby faces. The comparison was really heartbreaking.
Jiang Lili walked up to Xin Yan and squatted down, took out a steamed cake with milk flavor, tore open the package and handed it to Xin Yan.
Children are children after all. Xin Yan's eyes suddenly lit up like little light bulbs. He took the cake and put aside his fear of Jiang Lili. "Thank you, auntie. You are such a kind person!"
After saying that, Xin Yan didn't swallow the cake right away. Instead, he cut the steamed cake in half, glanced worriedly at the wife of Marquis Zhaoping lying on the ground, and then turned to ask Jiang Lili, "Grandma, can you eat this cake?"
Jiang Lili patted his head. This child was so sensible: "Eat, your aunt has prepared some extra food for grandma."
Xin Cheng was also embarrassed and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry. I was rude just now. I didn't expect you were feeding Fulan."
Fulan was Chen's maiden name.
Chen couldn't help but eat the pastries that Jiang Lili stuffed into her mouth. She felt embarrassed for a moment, after all, she had just scolded Jiang Lili so harshly.
She tried to hold her expression in check and said stubbornly, "What did you just give me to eat? It's not poisonous, right? Where did it come from?"
"My family asked someone to send it to me." Jiang Lili lowered her voice and glanced around: "Sister-in-law, keep your voice down."
Chen and others were very surprised to hear this. It seemed that they did not expect Jiang Lili to be willing to take out the supplies sent by the Shangshu Mansion and distribute them to others.
After withdrawing her inquiring gaze towards Marquis Zhaoping's Mansion, Jiang Lili distributed some of the snacks hidden on her body to everyone.
As for drinks, everyone carried water bags with them, so Jiang Lili didn't have to worry about it.
Jiang Lili tore open a small loaf of bread and demonstrated to Xin Cheng and others how to unpack it.
During the more than half month of exile, they had not had a full meal and they all just buried their heads in eating quietly without talking.
But Marquis Zhaoping returned the small cake in his hand to Jiang Lili intact.
The thing called "cake" in Jiang Lili's hand is obviously a rare item. It is probably a new product from Lan Kwai Fong, a famous pastry shop in Beijing.
Xin Chong, Marquis of Zhaoping, shook his head and said, "My dear child, it is my Zhaoping Marquisate that has let you down."
The imperial edict to confiscate the property came suddenly. Xin Chong originally wanted Xin Che to write a letter of divorce so that Jiang Lili would not suffer the pain of exile. However, Xu Qingyun, the commander of the imperial guards who was ordered to confiscate the property, kicked over the pen and paper, and directly had Jiang Lili arrested and handcuffed Xin Che.
The commander of the imperial guards, Xu Qingyun, was a distant relative of Jiang Lili's stepmother. Marquis Zhaoping knew immediately that Jiang Lili was being targeted by her stepmother.
Thinking of this, Zhao Pinghou felt even more sympathetic towards Jiang Lili: "You can keep this cake for yourself. I am in good health and will be fine after drinking the rice soup distributed by the yamen runners tomorrow."
Jiang Lili was somewhat touched by the resolute expression on Marquis Zhaoping's face. "Don't worry, Father. I'll take care of it."
She stuffed it back with a strong attitude, and then Marquis Zhaoping took it.
Jiang Lili thought carefully about the journey to the camp and decided that it would be better for her to get along well with the people in Zhaoping Marquis' Mansion. The Shangshu Mansion no longer cared about her life or death. If they knew that she was not dead, they would probably send someone to kill her to silence her.
Until she is able to protect herself, she has to cling to the Xin Che family.
Marquis Zhaoping is still strong and powerful, and his second brother Xincheng is a top craftsman in Dasheng. He is skilled in arranging mechanisms and smelting weapons and has strong hands-on ability.
Not to mention the Great Sheng God of War Xin Che, who had already been bribed by her with snacks.
Jiang Lili glanced at Xin Che who was studying a lollipop, and a sly smile appeared on her face.
Some snacks can be used to coax the Great God of War to be your bodyguard. This is a good deal!
At this time, there was another sound coming from Jiang Lili's backpack.
