Xiao Ji pulled out a clean handkerchief from somewhere and carefully wiped away the beads of sweat that kept pouring out of Shang Changge's eyes.
He didn't care at all whether the soldiers he had brought out were staring wide-eyed at him from not far away.
Another warm autumn breeze swept by, and Xiao Ji thoughtfully offered his caring greetings:
"Tired? Then let's call it a day. We'll play again next time."
Shang Changge rolled her eyes, straightened her slightly hunched back with her spear, and then smiled through gritted teeth as she exposed him:
"Laugh if you want to; holding it in is bad for your health."
Xiao Ji was very obedient and laughed out loud.
Shang Changge's blood and qi surged so violently that he almost ground his teeth to powder.
He deeply regretted not taking advantage of Xiao Ji's lack of weapon and using the spear he was holding to stab him.
Xiao Ji still had some military affairs to attend to in the military camp.
Shang Changge rested for a while during this break, originally planning to chat with the soldiers about Xiao Ji.
But whether it was a military rule against speaking carelessly or because she was a princess, no one wanted to talk to her.
Nobody wanted to talk to her.
But everyone was very curious about her, and they would steal glances at her from the corner of their eyes from time to time.
Shang Changge: ...
She was isolated again, and heartbroken.
Fortunately, Xiao Ji didn't have much military business to attend to, and he finished quickly before coming over to introduce her to people.
Shang Changge didn't think anything was wrong, but the soldiers understood without saying a word.
The general is showing off his wife to them!
The general was just showing off his wife to them!
Although the soldiers were thoroughly impressed by Xiao Ji's boasting, they were still very gratified and moved.
Their 28-year-old general, the one no girl liked and no girl dared to approach, finally has a wife!!!
Xiao Ji secretly boasted to his soldiers for a long time, until the sun was about to set.
Only then did he take Shang Changge back to the capital in the same carriage they had come in, and then send Shang Changge back to the princess's residence.
Princess's Residence
Qingyao stood at the door, eagerly waiting for the princess to return. When Shang Changge returned,
The little girl rushed over like a whirlwind, and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Shang Changge was safe and sound.
Then the little girl didn't say anything, just looked at Shang Changge pitifully with teary eyes, looking so wronged and sorrowful.
Shang Changge knew Qingyao was worried about her, but she never liked sentimentality, so she patted Qingyao's shoulder with her paw to comfort her indirectly.
"Okay, okay, I'll definitely take you with me next time we go out."
Turning to face Xiao Ji, she pulled a piece of candy from her sleeve—a candy that seemed to appear out of nowhere—unwrapped it, and popped it into the man's mouth.
Under Xiao Ji's slightly surprised gaze, he smiled and thanked Yan Ming, then reminded him:
"Thank you, General Xiao. I had a great time today."
"Also, eating too many sweets can damage your teeth, so remember to rinse your mouth with tea after eating them."
The sweetness of osmanthus sugar spread across my tongue, easing much of the reluctance to part.
Xiao Ji's features softened, like a fierce wolf king being soothed and docile by his mate.
"good."
Xiao Ji watched as Shang Changge and Qingyao entered the mansion before leaving in his carriage.
As darkness fell,
Some people have a happy day, while others are irritable all day.
Inside the Third Prince's residence, after hearing Cang Hai's report, Shang Rui felt nothing but urge to kill.
"You're saying Man Niang was already redeemed and taken away?!"
Cang Hai: "Yes, according to the madam, the one who redeemed Man Niang was a wealthy merchant from a foreign land. He paid a lot of money and Man Niang was willing to go with him."
Shang Rui's hands clenched tightly on the wheelchair; his complexion hadn't been good all day.
"Go investigate and find that person for me."
Originally, I planned to secretly bring Man Niang back, keep her by my side for a few intimate moments, and then give her to Xiao Ji. But now, she has already been redeemed!
Variable! Another variable!
Cang Hai wasn't unaware of Shang Rui's unpleasant expression, but after weighing the options, he chose to tell the truth:
"Your Highness, that wealthy merchant from abroad is a businessman who came to the capital to do business."
"I've searched and asked everyone I could today, but I haven't been able to find out anything. I'm afraid the person has already left the capital."
"Searching further would be like looking for a needle in a haystack."
Shang Rui understood this perfectly well, but this was the only way to sabotage the marriage at this point.
There are many beauties, but only Man Niang is a beauty who can bewitch people's minds with pipa music and has superb seductive skills!
Recalling what his mother had said to him in the palace, Shang Rui's restless heart gradually calmed down, and he said:
"Have a few people search for it first, and we'll talk about it again if they can't find it after a few days."
Canghai accepted the order and went to carry it out.
Not long after Cang Hai left, a girl fell from the eaves of the Third Prince's residence and landed precisely in Shang Rui's arms.
Shang Rui was startled and didn't have time to call for help or even see who was in his arms before he was tightly embraced.
What followed was the girl's loud wailing and a series of accusations.
"Waaaaah, my husband! Who hurt your leg like this while I was away? Who was it?!"
Tell Yunshu that she'll poison him to death right now to avenge her husband, waaaaah!!
The little girl was petite and delicate, but her voice was incredibly loud.
That scream almost ripped the roof off the Third Prince's residence.
Shang Rui's eyelids twitched; his anger from just moments before had been completely dispelled by this sudden fright.
After recognizing who was in his arms, he became enraged and slapped the little girl's round and perky bottom.
"Ge Yunshu! Stop fooling around, what kind of behavior is this!"
Ge Yunshu.
The precious daughter of Master Ge of Ge Family Village received the antidote, the red pill, from Master Ge himself.
Ge Yunshu called Shang Rui "husband" because Shang Rui had impulsively participated in the Ge family's martial arts contest to find a husband.
Although he did not win the championship in martial arts, he won the championship in appearance.
Shang Rui was handsome, a dashing young man with an air of royalty, and also charming, romantic, and good at sweet talk.
Any normal girl would be captivated by him, and Ge Yunshu was completely smitten with Shang Rui.
"My husband!"
Ge Yunshu hugged Shang Rui's neck, pouted her cherry lips, and said unhappily, "You hit me hard!"
"Stop pretending, I didn't use any force."
Shang Ruicai wouldn't be fooled by Ge Yunshu; that girl is very clever and mischievous, and she only looks young...
He was actually about the same age as him, or even two months older, and quite cunning. Only Yue'er could be considered truly innocent and naive.
He had expected Ge Yunshu to come looking for him; it had been the same in his previous life.
However, in this life, he had already spoken to the guards in the manor beforehand, so the girl wasn't arrested as an assassin like in the previous life.
“Are.”
What you think of comes true.
Chu Yue stood a few steps away, holding the medicine. Her face, always cold to others but smiling only at Shang Rui, was now flushed with embarrassment.
Now all that's left is sadness and loneliness; he exudes a sense of sorrow.
Shang Rui felt a pang of pain and tried to get Ge Yunshu off his arms, but Ge Yunshu refused, clinging to Shang Rui's neck and saying coquettishly:
"Husband! Let's just forget about Miss Yun. She's the daughter of the Vice Minister of Revenue. I can't compare to her in terms of helping you, so I won't compete with her."
What makes her so special? She's just a traitorous assassin who betrayed her organization; she can't help you with anything. I'm not going to give in to her.
"I won't go down! I won't go down! I won't go down! My husband, no matter what you say, I won't go down!"
What was originally Ge Yunshu's silly remark unexpectedly enlightened Shang Rui. Yes, that's it.
The Ge family is most skilled in making and using poisons, and Yun Shu has even inherited her father's expertise. If...
Shang Rui had his own thoughts, but he didn't forget to comfort his two women.
While speaking gently to comfort Ge Yunshu in his arms, he beckoned to Chu Yue and said softly:
"Yue'er, come here first."
"You know I'm not able to move around easily right now, don't be angry, I'll explain to you later, okay?"
