Chapter 274 The Fifth Prince Arrives Upon Hearing the News
This news left everyone in the capital baffled. Guo Ziqian had gone to great lengths to squeeze out the others and secure a marriage with the second Miss Jiang. How could he have fallen for his own cousin before the wedding, in the blink of an eye?
If they were going to fall in love, wouldn't they have already fallen in love? Why did they have to wait until right before the wedding for this to happen? There must be something behind it, and many people feel the same way.
But for the fifth prince Li Jingxiu, who felt like he had received good news from heaven, all these doubts were not questions, but the bridge to happiness for him, Li Laowu!
"Sister Han, don't be sad. Come and take a look at the exquisite ball lantern I just learned to make. I tell you, this is really interesting..."
Jiang Han frowned and glared at the excited guy in front of her. She felt that this guy came to laugh at her.
"Li Jingxiu, who told you to come to my house again? Didn't you go to your maternal grandparents' house to study with your uncle? Why are you back in the capital again?"
Li Jingxiu grinned and patted his chest in a very loyal manner.
"Well, it doesn't matter whether I study or not. I heard something happened to you, and I was happy, no, I was so worried that I rode back in the middle of the night..."
“Hear?
Who told you that?"
Jiang Han's voice rose a little, and she looked up at the man's gloating expression, almost making her nose twist in anger. She stood up from her chair abruptly, not caring about sentimentality for the moment, feeling that she was being laughed at by someone who was staring at her face.
"Is this the news that that annoying guy Jiang Lao San gave you?
I knew that you two have been hanging out together since you were little, and you are definitely not good people!
Jiang Lao San, you dare to sell me for fame again, I will never let you go! "
She was so angry that she grabbed her skirt and was about to go find her traitorous brother to settle the score, which made Li Jingxiu's handsome face red with anxiety.
"Stop it, Sister Han, it wasn't the Third Brother who handed me the letter, it really wasn't!"
It's so hard to find a close brother standing by my side. I can't let him get cheated no matter what. Otherwise, who will be able to deliver information to me accurately and in a timely manner in the future?
"Go away and don't block my way!"
"Sister Han, calm down, it's all my fault. Don't be angry if I said something wrong. I..."
"Get out of here!"
Reaching out to push the person away, Jiang Han picked up the magical weapon left by his sister to suppress his brother, and waved the branch as he was about to go find Jiang Yao to settle the score. As soon as he went out, he bumped into Jiang Lao San who was squatting under the window to accompany him.
After all, no matter how annoying Jiang Lao Er was, she was still his twin sister. While it was true that he had passed on the message to the Fifth Prince, he definitely wouldn't leave them alone. Otherwise, if his eldest sister found out, she'd have him skinned alive!
"Jiang Lao San!"
"Second sister, listen to my excuse!"
"I'm not going to listen to your excuses, watch out!"
Recalling the moves passed down by his father, Jiang Han raised his weapons in both hands and used the tree branch as a magic axe to chop at his brother murderously.
"Oh my god, Jiang Lao Er, are you serious? Stop it now! If you dare to make gestures again, I'll hit you. I'll really hit you. Ouch!"
"If you dare to hit me, I'll skin you alive! You little bastard, you brainless bastard, if you dare to sell me out for fame and fortune again or twice, I won't let you go. Don't run!"
"Anyone who doesn't run is a fool!"
The brother and sister ran around in circles in the yard, and Jiang Lao San kept arguing stubbornly while he was running away.
"I saw you howling like a ghost at home every day, so I wanted to find someone to comfort you. It's fine if you don't appreciate it, but why are you biting me, a Lu Dongbin, in return?"
"You still dare to call me a dog?
I'll fight you!"
"Han Jie'er, this is really none of the Third Brother's business! I used my status as a prince to force him. If you want to hit me, hit me. Don't get yourself angry. I'll just stand here and let you hit me, okay?"
Jiang Han was furious in front, and Li Jingxiu was carefully apologizing behind her, and at the same time carefully protecting her, fearing that she would accidentally bump into something and hurt herself again.
The three of them were making such a commotion in the yard that the servants hurried to the main courtyard to report to the lady. When Mrs. Xu and her men arrived, they saw her son and daughter making a huge fuss.
"Stop it!"
When my mother gets angry, even the most arrogant kid has to obey her. Jiang Han threw down the branch and ran to his mother to complain first.
"Mom, Jiang Lao San bullied me! Seeing how miserable I am now, he actually brought people to laugh at my joke! Mom, you have to help me vent my anger!"
"I don't!
Jiang Lao Er, are you still being unreasonable?
Hiss~~"
Jiang Lao San moved his hurt hind legs and felt so miserable that he wanted to slap himself twice.
"I'm such a fucking jerk! If I had known you would bite me back, I should have let you hide in your shell and cry to death!
"You good-for-nothing, you just lost your fiancé, right? As the old saying goes, the new comes before the old. Is it worth it for you to cry at home all day long?"
“I’d love to!
I was crying in my own yard, not in your yard. You live by the sea, so why do you care so much?
Look at him, he still dares to curse people, he really deserves a beating, I'm going to tell my sister..."
Although he had good intentions, Jiang Lao San was beaten back by Jiang Lao Er and his defense was instantly broken.
"You keep complaining every day. Jiang Lao Er, can you still survive without Jiang Lao Da?"
"I'd love to!"
"You, you ungrateful person, am I not thinking about you all this time?"
"For my sake? Since we were little, when have you ever been so kind to me? You're thinking about your good brother, right?"
The brother and sister were arguing with each other fiercely. Li Jingxiu, who was standing aside with his face flushed with embarrassment, became very nervous and stood straight like a pillar when he received the gaze from Lady Lingguo.
"The Fifth Prince is well."
Just as Xu was about to salute, Li Jingxiu jumped over and held her up.
"Aunt, please don't bow to me. I don't deserve it! No, I mean, I don't want to be bowed to. That's not what I mean. I mean..."
He tried desperately to please Han Jie'er's mother, but his mouth was useless and he just kept spouting nonsense. Li Jingxiu's face was so nervous that it was about to twitch, and he tried hard to force a dry smile.
"I mean, my brother is the son-in-law of your Jiang family, and I'm our biological brother, sharing the same father. So, if we round it up, you're my legitimate elder. How could a junior like me accept your courtesy? You can't, you absolutely can't!"
Fortunately, he is a legitimate prince and still has the necessary royal upbringing. He can still keep his composure at the most critical moment.
Although it was as clear as a louse on a bald head who exactly his humble attitude was directed at, everyone was a respectable person and no one would deliberately break the surface of politeness unless it was absolutely necessary.
