Jiang Mubai still had a gentle smile, seemingly not at all surprised.
He laughed and said, âYou already have Gucheng, isnât that enough?â
âGucheng is only with me temporarily; heâs not mine.â
âOh? You donât want Gucheng?â
âOf course I want him, especially so. But I know that Gucheng is a capable man by my uncleâs side, destined to follow my uncle through life and death. I, as someone who stays in the palace, shouldnât try to keep him by force. Gufeng, on the other handâ¦â
âGufeng is also quite capable.â
âThen why did you almost kill him?â
âMilitary law is ruthless.â
âUncle, I understand your military law, and I absolutely support and uphold it. However⦠I did intentionally cause that situation, and I was prepared to get hurt. It had nothing to do with Gufeng.â
âSo you bring him out, and I didnât stop you, did I?â
âWill you agree or not?!â Jiang Ning pounded on his back.
âCough, cough!â The general grimaced with a bitter smile and waved his hand, âYour uncle is old and canât withstand the iron fists of a girl like you. Go back and sit down!â
âWill you give it?â
âI will!â Jiang Mubaiâs expression seemed to say, even if you want the moon, your uncle will go to the sky and pluck it for you to play with. âWhatever you see in this room, take it.â
As expected, Jiang Ning stood in the middle of the room, looking around.
In this study, all the items were naturally of high quality, otherwise, they wouldnât be worthy of being displayed in the generalâs study.
Jiang Ning carefully examined the room and finally pointed, âI want this painting!â
It was the painting that was currently spread out on the table.
Handwritten by General Jiang himself.
Jiang Mubai was overjoyed, âI told your father long ago that of all the Jiang Family children, only Seventh Sister has good taste. He didnât believe it. Among all the good things in your uncleâs room, you singled out this painting. Good eye, indeed! Hahaha!â
âUncle, are you willing to give it to me?â
âIf it were someone else, I might really be reluctant. But since itâs my little niece who wants it, Iâll definitely give it.â The general waved his hand grandly, âIâll have someone frame the painting and send it to the East Palace. You can hang it up.â
âUncle, youâre so thoughtful!â Jiang Ning smiled happily.
âItâs getting late. Iâll have the kitchen prepare some good dishes, and you stay for dinner,â Jiang Mubai said.
âI really want to have a drink with my uncle, but I canât be back too late,â Jiang Ning laughed, âOn the fifth of next month, I will definitely come back and have a good drink with you.â
Jiang Mubaiâs eyes lit up, âYou still remember your uncleâs birthday?â
âWhat child doesnât remember their parentsâ birthdays? No matter if I forget other things, these are the things I must remember for a lifetime,â Jiang Ning said with a smile, âIâll definitely prepare a big gift for you.â
âAh, child, you donât need to go to such trouble; your uncle doesnât lack anything.â While General Jiang said the polite words, his face was blooming with anticipation.
Jiang Ning was also happy.
She liked seeing the people around her happy.@@novelbin@@
Moreover, she had gained Gufeng.
Before leaving, she talked with Jiang Mubai about the war in Silla and learned that after celebrating his birthday next month, her uncle would have to leave the capital again to station at the border.
As the war between Great Sheng and Silla broke out, Rouran would certainly not miss this opportunity.
The mantis catches the cicada, but the oriole is behind.
This time, Jiang Mubaiâs mission was to be that oriole, taking care of Rouran in the end.
