“Eldest Sister, get on the carriage quickly.”
...At this moment, the Cao family’s carriage arrived. Hearing Jiang Ruyun’s voice, Jiang Peihuan hurriedly helped Liu Xin onto the carriage.
They had brought spare clothes with them because they were worried about getting their clothes wet on the way.
“Xin Er, change out of your wet clothes first.”
After sitting inside the carriage, Jiang Peihuan immediately looked at Liu Xin and spoke.
Liu Xin nodded and began changing her clothes.
Seeing this, Jiang Peihuan also changed out of her wet clothes. When she lifted the curtain, she saw that Xiao Nanye and Jiang Changbai had also changed their clothes.
After the two of them got on the carriage, Jiang Changbai quickly turned to Jiang Peihuan and said, “Huan Er, why did you and Miss Liu fall into the water?”
“It was Prince Qing.”
After briefly explaining the situation, Jiang Peihuan continued, “He must have planned this beforehand.”
The plan, however, was unclear whether it was targeted at her or for some other reason.
Or perhaps it was due to the grudge he held since their encounter at the estate.
“Why would Prince Qing scheme against you? Have you offended him in any way?”
Hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, Jiang Changbai looked puzzled. At this moment, Xiao Nanye spoke up, “I will have someone investigate this matter thoroughly.”
“If Xiao Junhao truly intends to harm you, I will not let him off.”
As he spoke the last sentence, a fierce determination flashed in Xiao Nanye’s eyes.
“Elder brother, why are you and his highness here?”
“The Emperor ordered me to come and inspect the refurbishment of the palace. I found it boring, so I brought Young General with me.”
Before Jiang Changbai could respond, Xiao Nanye preemptively replied upon hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Peihuan nodded, then turned to Jiang Changbai and said, “Elder brother, do you plan to return home with us?”
“I won’t be going back with you. His Highness and I still have to go check on the refurbishment of the palace.”
“You go back on your own. When you return, have the doctor examine you and give Miss Liu some medicine for her cold.”
“Understood, elder brother.”
Seeing Jiang Peihuan nod, Jiang Changbai turned to Xiao Nanye and said, “Your Highness, let’s go ahead.”
Upon hearing Jiang Changbai’s words, Xiao Nanye nodded. But as he was getting off the carriage, he whispered to Jiang Peihuan, “I will have Han Feng investigate this matter as soon as possible. Wait for my message.”
“Mm.”
Seeing Jiang Peihuan nod, Xiao Nanye got off the carriage.
Afterward, Jiang Peihuan and her group left on their own, heading towards the Jiang Mansion.
On the boat.
Watching the departing group, Xiao Junhao’s expression turned gloomy.
Beside him, Pei Wu also wore an unpleasant expression. Seeing Xiao Junhao remain silent, he approached and spoke softly, “Your Highness, what should we do now?”
“You personally go to the Liu Mansion and say that I want to take Liu Xin as a concubine, and have them pick a date to send Liu Xin to Prince Qing’s Mansion.”
“Your Highness, this may not be appropriate.”
“Although the Liu family is a merchant, they are still in-laws with the good Jiang residence. If…”
“What if?!”
Before Pei Wu could finish his sentence, Xiao Junhao directly interrupted him. At this moment, Xiao Junhao’s eyes were filled with a gloomy expression. It was almost a done deal, but Xiao Nanye and Jiang Changbo had to interfere.
Turning to Pei Wu, Xiao Junhao coldly spoke, “I have already been demoted to a Marquis. If there are any more mishaps with the palace refurbishment, then… In any case, do as I said.”
Pei Wu wanted to persuade further, but seeing the expression in Xiao Junhao’s eyes, he thought for a moment and silently closed his mouth.
“Just do as His Highness said. Although the Liu family is related by marriage to the Jiang family, it doesn’t change the fact that they are merchants.”
At this moment, Lin Mengyao’s voice came from behind.
Upon hearing her words, Pei Wu nodded and stepped forward to salute, “Yes, I will go to the Liu family as you instructed.”
“Your Highness, don’t worry. There’s no need for concern. Once Liu Xin enters the prince’s mansion, the matter of money will be resolved.”
After Pei Wu left, Lin Mengyao looked at Xiao Junhao with gentle eyes and said.
In the past, whenever Xiao Junhao heard Lin Mengyao’s words, his eyes were full of tenderness. However, at this moment, although there was still some warmth in his eyes, there was also a hint of displeasure.
“Let me have someone accompany you back to the residence.”
After saying this, Xiao Junhao turned around and left. As she watched his departing figure, Lin Mengyao hesitated for a moment but said nothing.
At this time, Jiang Peihuan had already arrived at the Jiang Mansion.
“Why did this happen out of nowhere?”
Liu Xiu had received the news and was waiting at the entrance of the Elegant Garden. When she saw Jiang Peihuan and Liu Xin appear, she immediately approached with a worried expression.
Seeing the concern in her eyes, Liu Xin stepped forward and held Liu Xiu’s hand. “Aunty, don’t worry, I’m fine.”
Liu Xiu wanted to say something, but then she noticed Jiang Ruyun standing beside them. Strictly speaking, this incident happened because the Cao family invited them for a outing.
Thinking of this, Liu Xin did not say anything further. Instead, she turned to Liu Xin and said, “The doctor is already waiting inside. Let him take a look at you.”
Liu Xin felt that she was fine, but she couldn’t resist Liu Xiu’s insistence.
After checking Liu Xin’s pulse, the doctor turned to Liu Xiu and said, “Madam, please rest assured, Miss Liu is in good health. However, since she fell into the water, I will prescribe some medicine. Drinking a few doses should help ward off the chill.”
“Thank you, Doctor.”
Then, Liu Xiu turned to Jiang Peihuan and said, “Peihuan, you also fell into the water. Let the doctor check you too.”
“No need, Aunty, you forget, Ye Xiao in my room knows medicine. If I feel unwell later, she can take a look.”
“For precaution, let’s have Xin Er stay over at the house tonight.”
“I was thinking the same.”
Upon hearing Liu Xiu and Jiang Peihuan’s conversation, Liu Xin chuckled softly, “1 am quite alright now, no need to fuss over me, Aunty.”
“It’s just one night stay, no fuss at all. You rest well, later I’ll have Jing Er bring you the medicine, and also ask Nanny Liu to go back and inform your elder brother.”
“Then I’ll have to trouble you, Aunty.”
Seeing that Liu Xiu had everything arranged, Liu Xin didn’t refuse any further and just nodded with a smile.
“Third Aunt, I will head back first.”
“Alright, take it slow on your way, and remember to have Ye Xiao check on you when you get back.”
“Mm.”
Nodding her head and bidding Liu Xiu goodbye, Jiang Peihuan left the Elegant Garden. Seeing this, Jiang Ruyun also followed and left.
“Elder sister, today’s incident won’t cause any trouble, right?”
After leaving the Elegant Garden, Jiang Ruyun turned to Jiang Peihuan and asked.
Seeing the confusion in Jiang Peihuan’s eyes, Jiang Ruyun continued, “When you and Miss Liu fell into the water today, I saw it clearly. Those people were clearly arranged by Prince Qing.”
“Don’t worry, there won’t be any issues..”
