Seeing that Jiang Nian only made such a small request, Jiang Li quickly agreed.
"Okay, but you have to promise me one thing."
Hearing Jiang Li's agreement, Jiang Nian's eyes glowed with golden light and filled with endless joy, and he quickly asked Jiang Li.
"What?"
Jiang Li raised his hand and pointed at Jun Rui's blue fish tail.
"During this period, you cannot reveal Xiao Rui's identity."
Jiang Nian was slightly surprised at first, and then nodded solemnly, "I know this! Uncle Xiaobai told me that I must hide Xiaorui's identity carefully, otherwise it will put him in danger."
"Yes, that's right."
Jiang Li looked at this well-behaved and sensible child with a smile on her face, revealing an affection that she herself was not aware of.
Jiang Nian stood in front of the wooden barrel and played with Jun Rui, but in the end he was still not satisfied and insisted on taking off his clothes to get into the barrel and play in the water with Jun Rui.
Jiang Li couldn't persuade him and had to agree.
"Then don't splash the water all over the floor."
"Don't worry, it won't happen." After saying that, Jiang Nian quickly took off all his clothes and got into the wooden barrel with his bare butt.
As Jiang Li expected, as soon as he entered the wooden barrel, water splashed.
Jiang Li shook his head helplessly and smiled.
Seeing Jiang Nian also coming in naked, Jun Rui was very happy. He opened his arms and hugged him in his arms, rubbing his little face against Jiang Nian's face.
Seeing them having so much fun, Jiang Li was also very happy.
"Xiao Rui likes his brother very much." Jiang Li raised his hand and touched Jun Rui's head, which made Jun Rui even happier.
Jiang Nian was amused by his actions and did not hide his feelings at all, "I like Xiao Rui too!"
The two of them held various small wooden toys in their hands and placed them on the water, letting them float.
Jun Rui, who was having fun, slapped the water with his tail from time to time, splashing layers of water that smothered Jiang Nian's face.
Jiang Nian didn't get angry but laughed instead, and had more fun playing with Jun Rui.
Just at this moment, Jun Rui suddenly found something green in the water, and he slowly swam in front of Jiang Nian.
Jiang Nian, at a loss, froze and dared not move. He wanted to see what Jun Rui was going to do.
Jun Rui stretched out her little hand, grabbed the jade pendant on his chest, held it in her hand and began to play with it.
"Xiao Rui, do you like this?"
Jun Rui raised his face and looked at Jiang Nian in a daze.
Then he nodded and smiled at Jiang Nian, expressing his liking.
"Then I can lend it to you for a while, but you must return it to me in a hurry, because it is very important to me."
As he spoke, Jiang Nian took off the jade pendant from his neck.
Jiang Li, who was listening nearby, quickly reached out to stop him.
"It's better not to let him play with such valuable things. He is still young and may break them."
But Jiang Li did not stop him, and Jiang Nian quickly stuffed the jade pendant into Jun Rui's hand.
"It's okay, just let him play with it, and Xiao Rui likes it too."
Having obtained what he wanted, Jun Rui was extremely happy. He spun around in the barrel, with even his tail standing out of the water.
He raised his hands and held the jade pendant high in his hands.
The ignorant big eyes kept blinking as he looked at the jade pendant in his hand curiously.
Jiang Li glanced at Jun Rui casually and wanted to remind him not to break it, but unexpectedly, when she saw the jade in Jun Rui's hand, she was completely stunned.
"Xiao Rui, can you let mom take a look?" Jiang Li's heart trembled a little.
She slightly extended her hand towards Jun Rui and asked him softly.
Jun Rui withdrew his hand and obediently placed the jade pendant in Jiang Li's palm.
Jiang Li took the jade pendant and looked around quickly.
This familiar shape, and the words "Jiang Nian" engraved on it.
Her body and hands began to tremble.
Jiang Nian noticed her abnormality and leaned over.
"Is there something wrong with my pendant?" He was a little puzzled as to why Jiang Li looked like that.
Jiang Li, who had come back to his senses, raised his eyes and met Jiang Nian's dark eyes.
Only then did she notice that Jiang Ze's eyes were golden, while Jiang Nian's eyes were indeed black.
A pair of black eyes exactly like hers.
Looking at these eyes, Jiang Li was a little dazed.
But he still asked the question in his mind.
"Jiang Nian, who gave you this pendant?"
Jiang Nian tilted his head slightly, somewhat confused as to why Jiang Li would ask him this.
But he still answered her honestly.
"I have been wearing this since I was a child. My father said it was something my mother left for me."
After hearing this, Jiang Li's heart sank rapidly.
That last sentence kept lingering in her mind.
“This is something my mother left me.”
She remembered what Leila had told her at the Sana River, about feeding her children to the fish.
At that time, she believed her words directly without even verifying them.
She even forgot that Leila and her son were always liars.
But she really believed that Jiang Nian was gone.
Even Xiaojie and Xiaogui fell into deep self-blame.
Her nose felt a little sore, and even her eyes were covered with mist, making it difficult for her to see the two children in front of her.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Jiang Nian panicked when he saw Jiang Li's eyes were filled with tears.
I even blamed myself in my heart whether I said something wrong. How could I make her cry?
Jiang Li sniffed, raised his hand and wiped the tears from his eyes, choking and saying, "I'm fine."
"Can you lend me this jade pendant for a while?" He saw her slowly stand up and said to her softly.
"Well, of course." Jiang Nian responded.
Jiang Li took a deep breath, tightened his grip on the jade pendant slightly, and suppressed the emotions that were overflowing in his heart.
However, looking at Jiang Nian, who was as big as a three or four-year-old child, Jiang Li became even more confused.
There are some things that she must ask Jiang Ze for clarification.
"Xiao Nian, you and Xiao Rui can play here first. I have some things to take care of."
"Okay." Jiang Nian, who was having fun, responded casually without noticing that Jiang Li's way of addressing him had changed.
Jiang Li strode out, where fox soldiers were guarding.
When they heard the sound of the wooden door opening, they all turned their heads to look.
"I want to see Jiang Ze, take me to see him."
The soldiers looked at each other, and seeing that Jiang Li insisted on seeing Jiang Ze, they had no choice but to agree.
Jiang Ze, who was sitting at the table handling things, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows in annoyance.
At this time, Xiaobai ran over in a hurry and reported with his head down.
"Prince, the female wants to see you and is outside now."
Hearing this, Jiang Ze put his hand down and slowly raised his eyes, his eyes full of surprise and confusion.
"Well, let her in."
