Chapter 171 Arrangement
He immediately looked at the maids beside him fiercely. Seeing their timid appearance, Xiang Fei understood what was going on. A trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes. Then he looked at Jiang Xinxue and said comfortingly:
"Miss, don't worry about it. The young master is doing this to protect your safety. Since you are tired of staying in the mansion, I will take you out for a walk to make you feel better!"
Listening to Xiang Fei's words, Jiang Xinxue's eyes lit up slightly, and then she looked at Xiang Fei and murmured softly: "Then can I go find Master? He lives alone outside, and I'm a little worried. He saved my life, and Xue'er should repay him!"
Xiang Fei naturally knew about Jiang Xinxue's apprenticeship with Doctor Qi. Although he always felt that Doctor Qi had some bad intentions, he was also very skilled in medicine. Seeing that she was so persistent in one thing, Xiang Fei naturally would not interfere. Now, seeing her scorching eyes, Xiang Fei's heart tightened and he looked away quickly: "Yes, yes, I will take you to see him right away!"
"Really? That's great. Thank you, Brother Xiang. Ever since Xue'er has been wandering outside, I have only met Doctor Qi who treated me like a family member. When I was in Fang Mansion, he also took a lot of care of me. Of course, there is also Brother Xiang. I just don't know if Xue'er can still see Master after we leave here. Master is all alone outside, and I don't know if we can meet again as master and disciple." After Jiang Xinxue finished speaking, tears instantly rolled down her face.
Xiang Fei frowned at Jiang Xinxue's expression and immediately said, "Since Doctor Qi is also alone, if you are reluctant to leave, why not let him go with us? That way, he will have someone to take care of him for the rest of his life!"
"Can, is it okay?"
Jiang Xinxue looked at Xiang Fei with a sharp gaze, unable to say the words of refusal. Thinking that Doctor Qi was just a quack doctor and would not pose a threat to them, she immediately agreed:
"Okay, don't worry! I'll take care of Dr. Qi's affairs."
Jiang Xinxue looked at Xiang Fei's confident expression, a smile flashed in her eyes, and then she lowered her cheeks shyly.
Nangong Junze was chatting and laughing with Xiao Jinrui at this time, not knowing that Jiang Xinxue was also planning her future.
When Jiang Shuyu came over, everyone was discussing Nangong Junze's affairs, so they didn't notice her. Seeing everyone talking at once, Jiang Shuyu was happy to be free. Unexpectedly, as soon as she sat down, people who were looking for trouble started to come one after another.
"I haven't seen you for a few days. Third sister has become even more radiant and charming. She outshines all of us!"
"Who says it's not true? This guy who's proposing marriage is probably going to trample down General Jiang's door!"
"One family has a daughter who is sought after by hundreds of families. Isn't that the truth? What do you girls know? Yu'er is the most outstanding-looking girl in our Jiang family!" Yuan Peishan listened to the banter of everyone and couldn't help but join in. Sure enough, as soon as she said this, several other noble ladies expressed their opinions one after another.
Jiang Shuyu looked at Jiang Wanrong and her daughter standing in front of her and couldn't help but frown. She didn't expect that now that their relationship has been completely torn apart, she is still like nothing happened. No wonder she can get along with everyone and play these noble ladies in the palm of her hand.
"Second aunt, I'm being too modest! When it comes to appearance, my second sister is naturally unmatched. After all, to be able to have His Royal Highness Prince Rui personally propose to her, it's easy to imagine that my second sister's charm is impeccable!"
Although Jiang Wanrong was very pleased with what she said, the current situation was not the time to discuss these things. Her goal was to make Jiang Shuyu the target of public criticism, not to get herself into trouble. Seeing that Jiang Shuyu was on guard, Jiang Wanrong had to find another topic.
Before she could continue speaking, she was blocked by Jiang Shuyu. Seeing Xiao Jinrui coming towards her, Jiang Wanrong immediately changed her expression and glared at Jiang Shuyu fiercely. Then Jiang Wanrong walked towards her seat. There was still a long way to go, and she had plenty of opportunities to ruin Jiang Shuyu's reputation.
Jiang Shuyu did not take Jiang Wanrong's provocation to heart, but was lost in thought as she looked at the man walking with Xiao Jinrui. Although she could not see his appearance clearly, Jiang Shuyu felt surprisingly familiar with him. Thinking that he was now seriously injured, Jiang Shuyu could not help but frown, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes.
When Nangong Junze came in, he naturally saw Jiang Shuyu in the crowd at a glance. Although he was not familiar with her, he always felt an indescribable intimacy in his heart. Seeing Nangong Junze lost in thought, Xiao Jinchuan couldn't help but follow her gaze and happened to see Jiang Shuyu's figure. Thinking of the rumors he had heard, Xiao Jinrui couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
I have heard for a long time that Nangong Junze has great respect and love for the former Princess Lanxin, and Jiang Shuyu is undoubtedly the girl in the Jiang family who looks most like Princess Lanxin. Now seeing him like this, I know that the rumors are true. However, no matter how important she is now, it has nothing to do with me. When Xiao Jinrui thinks of this, he regrets it. If the person he was married to was Jiang Shuyu, would the situation be different?
Xiao Jin looked at Jiang Shuyu with pity in his eyes, but he didn't know that this scene was just seen by Jiang Wanrong. Seeing the surprise flashing in Xiao Jinrui's eyes, Jiang Wanrong clenched her fists tightly. Even though her palms were stinging, it did not wake her up at all. She was even more jealous of Jiang Shuyu in her heart.
Seeing the resentment on her face, Yuan Peishan couldn't help but gently tug at her sleeve and whispered in her ear, "The people here today are all important figures. If you lose face because of this, do you still want to be the Princess of Rui?"
Thinking of the humiliation she suffered at the hands of Concubine Yuan, Yuan Peishan felt a pang of anger in her heart. If the marriage between Wanrong and Prince Rui had not been granted by the Emperor, she and her daughter would have died long ago and would not have been able to sit in the front row so gloriously. She only found out recently that Concubine Yuan had never given up on Jiang Shuyu, such a good chess piece. It seemed that only by marrying Jiang Shuyu off could Wanrong's status be protected.
Sure enough, listening to Yuan Peishan's words, Jiang Wanrong's eyes gradually became clear. Seeing the worry in Yuan Peishan's eyes, Jiang Wanrong smiled slightly, and then looked at her and said, "Don't worry, mother, Wanrong knows what to do and will definitely not act rashly!"
Yuan Peishan had always known that Jiang Wanrong was a person with her own ideas. Seeing her like this, she nodded in satisfaction.
