Chen Feier took it somewhat confusedly, opened it, and quickly blushed, hurriedly putting it away.
Jiang Jiuniang explained, "This is how Mr. Kang sees you. He wishes he could use the most beautiful words in the world to describe everything about you. I think you should know this."
"Thanks……"
In just a short time since she came in, she has already said thank you countless times, whether it was for business matters or personal matters, she is truly grateful to Jiang Jiuniang.
"Don't be so polite, let's eat!"
Jiang Jiuniang started eating first; she was tired after talking for so long.
After things were cleared up, Chen Feier felt better and had a better appetite. Seeing that Jiang Jiuniang didn't care about etiquette at all and ate whatever she wanted, even standing up to reach for dishes that were too far away, Chen Feier also relaxed. The two even had a few drinks and left satisfied.
The first thing Jiang Jiuniang did upon returning home was to send someone to fetch Mr. Kang to the mansion. Her maidservant reminded her, "Madam, didn't you say you wanted to avoid suspicion?"
"I can't be bothered with all this anymore. Let him think what he wants!"
After meeting Chen Feier, Jiang Jiuniang felt her thinking had broadened. She felt confident and not afraid of the emperor at all.
The maid was still a little worried, since Jiang Jiuniang seemed to have drunk too much. If the plan was ruined, she would probably be very annoyed when she sobered up.
After thinking for a moment, the maid went to Lu Baichuan's office to ask him after she left. Lu Baichuan said, "Just do as Madam wishes. Tell Mr. Kang that it's fine whether he goes or not, and respect his choice."
"yes."
The maidservant responded and left to fetch someone from the Kang family.
Mr. Kang had been waiting for news from Jiang Jiuniang. Knowing that she had arranged to meet Chen Feier today, he felt powerless to do anything and wanted to know what the two of them had to say.
Upon hearing that the Lu family had sent someone over, Mr. Kang rushed out almost immediately, not even waiting for his servants to report the results.
The maid said that the madam wanted to see him in person to discuss this, and he immediately said, "Alright, alright, let's go!"
He was still wearing his home-style long gown and slippers when he got into the Lu family's carriage, showing how anxious he was. He couldn't care less about avoiding suspicion.
Jiang Jiuniang had drunk quite a bit, but she was still conscious. In particular, she had drunk some hangover soup while the maid was calling for help, so she was feeling much better now. Therefore, when she saw Mr. Kang, she subconsciously asked, "Sir, have you also had too much to drink?"
"No, no, please forgive my rudeness, Madam!"
Mr. Kang knew how ridiculous he looked, but he couldn't wait any longer, so he had no choice but to get through it this way.
"Madam, what did Miss Fei'er say?"
He was very impatient and sat down, staring intently at Jiang Jiuniang.
Jiang Jiuniang couldn't help but laugh when she saw him acting like a young boy.
"Sir, please don't be in a hurry, let me explain slowly."
Jiang Jiuniang waved her hand, signaling him to calm down.
Mr. Kang nodded, waiting for Jiang Jiuniang to continue.
Jiang Jiuniang cleared her throat and said, "Judging from our interactions today, Miss Chen has feelings for Mr. Kang. As for the reasons for her rejection, there are three points."
"Firstly, there is the difference in your social status. Miss Chen feels that she is a person from the martial arts world and only knows a few words. She is worried that she will not have anything in common with you in the future."
"Secondly, Miss Chen is currently supporting many brothers and sisters. She is worried that if she marries the gentleman, she will have to disband the escort agency, leaving her brothers and sisters with nowhere to go."
"Thirdly, she was worried that her mother would be left without care. After her father and brothers died, she would only have her mother left after she got married, which she was really worried about, so she kept refusing her husband."
At this point, Jiang Jiuniang glanced at Mr. Kang and continued, "I have already resolved the matter of the escort agency for Miss Chen. The remaining two issues depend on your attitude, sir. If you can come up with a good solution to relieve Miss Chen of her worries, I believe she will agree soon."
Mr. Kang had always thought it was something serious, but he never expected it to be this simple...
He said, "I understand. Thank you, Madam. I will repay your kindness another day. I will take my leave now!"
He turned and ran away, showing no concern for his image whatsoever.
Jiang Jiuniang shook her head as she watched his retreating figure. She couldn't look anymore; if she did, she'd develop a love-struck mind.
Seeing how hard his friends were trying to get married, he couldn't help but think of himself and Lu Baichuan.
Good heavens, that Lu Baichuan is living the dream! He got such a beautiful wife without lifting a finger!
After returning home, Chen Feier began to carefully examine the few sheets of paper that Jiang Jiuniang had given her. The handwriting was neat and meticulous, and it felt like every word was written with utmost care. Even a rough and unrefined person like her could see the writer's caution.
The text was filled with compliments, using ornate and complex language. Although she didn't quite understand it, it just seemed very sophisticated.
She never imagined that she was such a perfect and outstanding person in his eyes.
Although their meeting was quite a farce, what followed was truly wonderful. Because he misunderstood her twice, she caused him a lot of trouble. Unexpectedly, the dazed scholar got up from the ground, gave her a thumbs up, and praised her, "Young lady, you are truly a heroine among women. You avenge your wrongs on the spot. You are truly admirable!"
She never expected him to say such a thing. Later, after they got to know each other better, she asked him why he said that. He replied, "It was my fault for misunderstanding you twice. You punished me so that I wouldn't feel guilty. Besides, you didn't do anything excessive. You were just playing with me for a while. Compared to the harm I caused you by misunderstanding you twice, it's nothing."
He, a grown man, openly admitted that he had done something wrong, accepted her punishment, and even thought that she was right.
In that instant, Chen Feier's feigned hardness crumbled completely.
She admitted that she was attracted to him.
But deep down I knew that it was impossible for us, so I didn't want to break the ice. I just wanted to be friends with him, thinking that this way we could live in peace.
Her dream was shattered when he sent a matchmaker to his door.
He had exposed the truth, and she dared not see him again.
She never wanted to see him again after that, and never has.
What Mrs. Lu told her today gave her a new understanding of that man.
So, should she seriously consider it?
But what about her mother?
"Miss, miss! Lord Kang is here. He says he has something to say to you. You don't have to open the door; you can just listen to him from the doorway. He'll leave after he's finished speaking!"
Xiao Tao ran in from outside, panting as she finished speaking. Just as she was about to ask her mistress if she wanted to go out, she saw a blur flash past to the side.
