Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After having breakfast, the old madam asked Jiang Peihuan to return to her courtyard.
...Of course, Xiao Nanye also left with her.
The smile in the old madam’s eyes deepened as she watched the two of them leave.” At first, 1 was worried that Huan Er might face hardships in the future, but now I’m not worried anymore.”
“Young Little Miss is blessed. 1 think His Highness is very gentle and considerate to Young Little Miss.”
Nanny Yun Gui chuckled softly when she heard the old madam’s words.
Jiang Peihuan was unaware of the discussion behind her.
After leaving the old madam’s courtyard, she looked at the man beside her and asked, “Why did you come to my grandmother’s courtyard so early this morning?”
“I was waiting for you in the courtyard last night. Later, I heard from Ye Xiao that you slept in the old madam’s courtyard. 1 wanted to look for you, but I thought it would be inappropriate, so 1 waited until this morning.”
“Being in Xue Mansion is not as convenient as when you were in Jiang Mansion.”
At first, Jiang Peihuan felt touched by his words, but after hearing the last sentence, she couldn’t help but glare at the man beside her, “So you’re addicted to climbing walls.”
“If the girls in the Jingdou knew about your highness love for climbing walls, 1 don’t know how many hearts would be broken.”
“Whether they’re sad or not doesn’t matter to me. Only you matter to me, Huan Er.”
Although it was sweet talk, Xiao Nanye’s eyes were very serious when he said them.
Seeing the seriousness in his eyes, Jiang Peihuan smiled.
Just as she was about to speak, an unpleasant voice interrupted.
“I’m not going to the family temple. My mom made a mistake, not me, why should I go, 1 won’t go…
Hearing this, Jiang Peihuan frowned.
She subconsciously looked in front of her and saw Xue Ru standing at the corner with anger in her eyes, while Xue Zhi stood at the side with displeasure in his eyes.
There were a few scratches on the back of Xue Zhi’s hand, which were caused by Xue Ru.
Seeing this, Jiang Peihuan frowned again.
“This is Grandmother’s order. You have to go even if you don’t want to.
Moreover, Mother has always treated you well. You…”
“Why aren’t you and third brother going? You’re her real sons.”
Xue Ru cut Xue Zhi off before he finished talking.
Hearing this, anger flashed in Xue Zhi’s eyes.
He had naturally proposed to go too, but was scolded severely by Xue Tao.
Just as Xue Zhi was about to speak, a gentle voice sounded in his ear.”Cousin, are you unwilling to go to the family temple because you don’t want to take care of eldest aunt?”
Jiang Peihuan didn’t want to get involved, but she still approached seeing Xue Zhi’s situation.
When Xue Ru heard Jiang Peihuan’s voice, she got angrier. She wanted to yell at Jiang Peihuan, but she saw Xiao Nanye.
Even though Xiao Nanye had hurt her recently, she still shyly greeted him when she saw his handsome face, “Greetings, Your Highness King Cheng, I…” “Have you forgotten what I said before?”
Xiao Nanye cut off Xue Ru and spoke with a gloomy expression.
Seeing Xue Ru’s panicked face, Xiao Nanye continued, “I said 1 don’t want to see you again. Did you not take my words seriously?”
“In that case, I’ll kill you now.”
As his words fell, Xiao Nanye opened the fan in his hand. Seeing the blade at the end of the fan, Xue Ru’s eyes were filled with terror.
“Your Highness King Cheng, please forgive my little sister.”
Xue Zhi, who was standing aside, saw this scene and quickly stood in front of Xue Ru.
Even when facing Xue Zhi, Xiao Nanye didn’t appear interested in what he had to say. Upon hearing Xue Zhi’s words, the man spoke with a deep voice, “What? Has the Xue family treated my orders as if they were nothing?”
“Your Highness, that’s not the case.”
“Grandmother ordered my younger sister to go to the family temple to take care of our mother, so that’s why she came out of the room.”
“Is that so?”
As he said this, Xiao Nanye looked at Xue Ru.
Xue Ru was stunned when she met Xiao Nanye’s gaze. Xue Zhi, who was standing beside her, quickly pulled her back.
Xue Ru nodded quickly, “Yes, 1 came out because I needed to go to the family 1 temple to take care of my mother.”
Wang Fengyi had already sent Xue Tao away last night, and because it was late, the Xue family did not call for Xue Ru, which led to the events of today.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Nanye put away his folding fan. But when he turned to look at Xue Ru, his expression instantly turned cold. “If that’s the case, why haven’t you left yet?”
“I will take my little sister away now.”
Hearing Xiao Nanye’s words, Xue Zhi quickly held Xue Ru’s hand and started leading her out of the mansion.
Xue Ru wanted to struggle, but Xue Zhi whispered to her, “If you don’t follow me obediently to the temple, his Highness will kill you right here.”
Upon hearing this, Xue Ru didn’t dare to struggle anymore.
Jiang Peihuan watched Xue Ru leave and looked at the man beside her with amusement in her eyes.
Seeing her look, the man said, “I’m helping your cousin here.”
Jiang Peihuan gave a faint smile but didn’t say anything, even though the man had taken hold of her wrist.
Jiang Peihuan was puzzled when she saw Xiao Nanye head to the gate, “Xiao Nanye, where are you taking me?”
“Everyone says that Qingzhou is different from Jingdou, so today we will take a good look around Qingzhou City.”
After saying that, Xiao Nanye took Jiang Peihuan and left the Xue mansion.
Deputy General Liu wanted to come too, but Xiao Nanye stopped him, “1 want to be alone with Huan Er, so you don’t need to come.”
Seeing that Deputy General Liu was still hesitating, Xiao Nanye continued,” With me here, no one can hurt her.”
Upon hearing this, Deputy General Liu silently stepped back.
As for Ye Xiao, she was preparing the antidote for Old Madam Xue.
When Jiang Peihuan came to Qingzhou that day, she was only thinking about Madam Xue, so she didn’t pay attention to the surrounding on the street.
Now, taking a look outside, Jiang Peihuan noticed that the street was very bustling.
Both sides of the street were filled with stalls. Although it couldn’t compare to the capital, it was still very lively.
“Do you want to take a look around?”
Xiao Nanye took Jiang Peihuan to the street and then asked softly.
Looking at the lively crowd, Jian Peihuan nodded.
Whether in her past life or this life, Jiang Peihuan rarely went shopping like this. Looking at the passing crowd, her heart seemed to liven up.
“Young master, you want to choose a hairpin for your wife?”
When Xiao Nanye and Jiang Peihuan passed by a small stall, a clear voice sounded.
Hearing the word “wife,” Xiao Nanye’s lips curved into a smile.
Looking at Jiang Peihuan, he whispered, “Wife, how about looking at some hairpins?”
Jiang Peihuan also heard the stall owner’s words. She had originally wanted to explain, but considering that they already had an engagement, she decided not to..
