Chapter 455 Disappointed

Han Lie was stunned.

He did not expect that Jiang would directly make such a request.

Jiang's identity was awkward. She was once the Queen and Queen Mother of Daxia. She had attended countless palace banquets and met countless foreign envoys. She was not a woman hiding in a deep house.

There should be many princes and ministers in Dai Viet who knew her.

Therefore, from a realistic point of view, it is unlikely that he would let Jiang become his legitimate wife and put her in front of the public.

The Prime Minister of Dai Viet suddenly changed his wife, who looked exactly like the Queen Mother of Daxia. If this matter was made public, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Before, he told Jiang that one day he would help her become the Prime Minister's wife, but that was just a way for him to coax a woman.

"Hui'er, don't be excited." Han Lie gently stroked Jiang's back.

"Are you going to agree or not?" Jiang struggled out of Han Lie's arms, grabbed his shoulders, and stared into his eyes.

"Hui Er!" Han Lie sighed heavily.

"Don't be like this. We are not ignorant boys and girls anymore. We can't take things lightly! We must think it through before making a decision."

Hearing this, Jiang pushed Han Lie out with both hands and said coldly: "Han Changqing, what do you mean by saying this?"

"You don't intend to let me be your wife at all, do you?!"

"Those words you said before were just to coax me, right?!"

Han Lie's eyes dodged and he didn't dare to look directly at Jiang.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Hui'er, I'm not kidding you. I dream of marrying you." Jiang

sneered, moved her face close to Han Lie, and said in a sharp voice, "You dream of marrying me. If you really want to, then send that bitch to heaven immediately and marry me!"

Han Lie looked at Jiang in disbelief, "Hui'er, she has made you lose your mind today. Let's not talk about this today. Wait a few days, when you calm down, we can talk about it, okay?" Jiang

stared coldly at the man in front of her. She caught the panic and guilt in his evasive eyes.

Jiang's aggressive gaze dimmed in an instant. After a long time, she murmured, "Okay."

Han Lie, however, was as if he had been pardoned, and a hint of joy flashed across his face, "I knew that my Huier is the most considerate."

At this moment, Yao Jinse walked in, "Father, mother, dinner is ready, and Chaozong is back. Let's go eat first."

Han Lie stood up and straightened his clothes.

Yao Jinse thought he was going to the restaurant with Jiang, so she stepped forward to support him and said, "Father, mother, let's go quickly!"

Unexpectedly, Han Lie said, "It's too late today, I have to go back first. Hui'er, Jinse, you guys have a good meal. You don't have to worry about anything, I'll take care of everything."

After saying that, he strode out without waiting for the mother and daughter to answer.

"Father..." Yao Jinse was stunned.

Today's father seemed a little strange and a little cold.

Jiang stared at Han Lie's back as he disappeared into the night, with a creepy coldness in her eyes.

Yao Jinse caught her mother's expression and was startled. She hurriedly asked, "Mother, what happened to you today? Did you quarrel with father?"

Jiang looked at Yao Jinse, her eyes flashed, and she said, "I'm fine, I'm just too tired today."

"Jinse, ask the maid to bring me some porridge and side dishes to my room. I don't want to move."

Yao Jinse responded and went out.

In the dining room, Yao Jinse sat opposite a tall and straight man, eating slowly.

The man raised his eyes, his eyes were bright and energetic, and his face was quite handsome. He was the imperial tutor of the young emperor of Dayue, Mr. Liang.

"What happened today? Why did you suddenly change your residence?" the man asked.

Yao Jinse smiled gently: "Nothing, just some problems. Madam Han found out about the villa."

The man silently pulled the corners of his lips, with a hint of mockery in his eyes, and then he asked: "Then can we get back the things we put in the villa?"

Yao Jinse picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and said lightly: "I don't know what Madam Han will do next. Let's talk about it later."

"Anyway, my father gave us some more banknotes. If we need anything, we can buy some first."

The man frowned and said: "Mainly my clothes, shoes and hats, most of them are new. It would be a pity if I can't get them back."

Yao Jinse looked at the man in confusion, "Husband, you are so strange? Now that you are the emperor's teacher, shouldn't you be more concerned about those precious books in the study in the villa?"

"How can a grown man care about clothes, shoes and hats? I'm a woman, and I'm not as nervous about clothes as you."

A trace of panic flashed across the man's face, but the panic disappeared in a flash. He quickly drank a mouthful of porridge to cover up his panic.

Then, he put on a serious expression and said, "Now that I am the emperor's teacher, I go to the palace every day to give lectures to His Majesty, so of course I have to pay attention to my appearance."

"If those clothes, shoes and hats are gone, you have to make new ones. Isn't it a waste of energy and money?"

Yao Jinse's hand holding the chopsticks stopped in mid-air, staring at the man blankly, "Paying attention to your appearance doesn't have to be so exaggerated, right?"

"I remember that last month, you made thirty sets of robes in the largest tailor shop in Beijing, and bought dozens of pairs of shoes and hats in the most luxurious shoe and hat shops."

"Even if you need to go to the palace every day, you don't have to do this, right?"

The man's face darkened, and he said in a cold voice: "Serving in front of His Majesty is no different from other things. Naturally, you have to wear brighter clothes."

Yao Jinse murmured, "Is it really so?"

The man said impatiently: "Don't talk about those useless things. Eat quickly, come into the room and help me unblock the acupuncture points. It's really uncomfortable to face a strange face all day."

...

When the moon was at its zenith, in Yue Haoyun's palace.

In a remote courtyard, Yue Haoyun sat at a stone table in the courtyard, holding the jade ring in his hand, staring at it for a long time.

This is an empty courtyard in the palace. Since Yue Haoyun faked his death, he has lived here most of the time.

With a click, the lock of the courtyard door was opened. Yue Haoyun was startled by the sound and looked up.

He saw Qiao Yu Niang (Xiao Zilan) walking in with a tray.

In the palace, not many people knew that Yue Haoyun had faked his death. In addition to Princess Min, there were only a few of Yue Haoyun's confidants, as well as Qiao Yu Niang, Chun Yu Yilan and others.

"My Lord, I saw that you ate too little for dinner today. I was worried that the food was not to your taste, so I took the initiative to ask the kitchen to make a bowl of your favorite fish soup." Qiao Yu Niang said gently.

As she spoke, she brought the tray to the stone table.

Yue Haoyun looked up at Qiao Yu Niang, then at the fish soup, and his frown instantly relaxed.

"You are thoughtful," he praised.
