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 madamâs eyes deepened as she watched the two of them leave.â At first, 1 was worried that Huan Er might face hardships in the future, but now Iâm not worried anymore.â
âYoung Little Miss is blessed. 1 think His Highness is very gentle and considerate to Young Little Miss.â
Nanny Yun Gui chuckled softly when she heard the old madamâs words.
Jiang Peihuan was unaware of the discussion behind her.
After leaving the old madamâs courtyard, she looked at the man beside her and asked, âWhy did you come to my grandmotherâs courtyard so early this morning?â
âI was waiting for you in the courtyard last night. Later, I heard from Ye Xiao that you slept in the old madamâs courtyard. 1 wanted to look for you, but I thought it would be inappropriate, so 1 waited until this morning.â
âBeing in Xue Mansion is not as convenient as when you were in Jiang Mansion.â
At first, Jiang Peihuan felt touched by his words, but after hearing the last sentence, she couldnât help but glare at the man beside her, âSo youâre addicted to climbing walls.â
âIf the girls in the Jingdou knew about your highness love for climbing walls, 1 donât know how many hearts would be broken.â
âWhether theyâre sad or not doesnât matter to me. Only you matter to me, Huan Er.â
Although it was sweet talk, Xiao Nanyeâs 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.
âIâm not going to the family temple. My mom made a mistake, not me, why should I go, 1 wonât goâ¦
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 Zhiâs hand, which were caused by Xue Ru.
Seeing this, Jiang Peihuan frowned again.
âThis is Grandmotherâs order. You have to go even if you donât want to.
Moreover, Mother has always treated you well. Youâ¦â
âWhy arenât you and third brother going? Youâre her real sons.â
Xue Ru cut Xue Zhi off before he finished talking.
Hearing this, anger flashed in Xue Zhiâs 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.âCousin, are you unwilling to go to the family temple because you donât want to take care of eldest aunt?â
Jiang Peihuan didnât want to get involved, but she still approached seeing Xue Zhiâs situation.
When Xue Ru heard Jiang Peihuanâs 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, âGreetings, Your Highness King Cheng, Iâ¦â âHave you forgotten what I said before?â
Xiao Nanye cut off Xue Ru and spoke with a gloomy expression.
Seeing Xue Ruâs panicked face, Xiao Nanye continued, âI said 1 donât want to see you again. Did you not take my words seriously?â
âIn that case, Iâll kill you now.â
As his words fell, Xiao Nanye opened the fan in his hand. Seeing the blade at the end of the fan, Xue Ruâs eyes were filled with terror.
âYour Highness King Cheng, please forgive my little sister.â
Xue Zhi, who was standing aside, saw this scene and quickly stood in front of Xue Ru.
Even when facing Xue Zhi, Xiao Nanye didnât appear interested in what he had to say. Upon hearing Xue Zhiâs words, the man spoke with a deep voice, âWhat? Has the Xue family treated my orders as if they were nothing?â
âYour Highness, thatâs not the case.â
âGrandmother ordered my younger sister to go to the family temple to take care of our mother, so thatâs why she came out of the room.â
âIs that so?â
As he said this, Xiao Nanye looked at Xue Ru.
Xue Ru was stunned when she met Xiao Nanyeâs gaze. Xue Zhi, who was standing beside her, quickly pulled her back.
Xue Ru nodded quickly, âYes, 1 came out because I needed to go to the family 1 temple to take care of my mother.â
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. âIf thatâs the case, why havenât you left yet?â
âI will take my little sister away now.â
Hearing Xiao Nanyeâs words, Xue Zhi quickly held Xue Ruâs hand and started leading her out of the mansion.
Xue Ru wanted to struggle, but Xue Zhi whispered to her, âIf you donât follow me obediently to the temple, his Highness will kill you right here.â
Upon hearing this, Xue Ru didnât 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, âIâm helping your cousin here.â
Jiang Peihuan gave a faint smile but didnât 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, âXiao Nanye, where are you taking me?â
âEveryone says that Qingzhou is different from Jingdou, so today we will take a good look around Qingzhou City.â
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, â1 want to be alone with Huan Er, so you donât need to come.â
Seeing that Deputy General Liu was still hesitating, Xiao Nanye continued,â With me here, no one can hurt her.â
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 didnât 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 couldnât compare to the capital, it was still very lively.
âDo you want to take a look around?â
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.
âYoung master, you want to choose a hairpin for your wife?â
When Xiao Nanye and Jiang Peihuan passed by a small stall, a clear voice sounded.
Hearing the word âwife,â Xiao Nanyeâs lips curved into a smile.
Looking at Jiang Peihuan, he whispered, âWife, how about looking at some hairpins?â
Jiang Peihuan also heard the stall ownerâs words. She had originally wanted to explain, but considering that they already had an engagement, she decided not to..
