Chapter 134 Shen Xingjian's heart couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Upon recognizing the person, Chen Xiuming's eyes widened immediately. "Shen Xingjian?"
Upon hearing this name, Jiang Yunzhu's heart couldn't help but tremble slightly.
He... actually came.
She turned her head slightly and met a pair of calm, phoenix eyes.
"General Shen, what brings you here, you busy man? Is there something you need?" Chen Xiuming asked casually.
Shen Xingjian ignored him and said coldly, "Let her go."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiuming was taken aback.
He originally thought Shen Xingjian had something important to do, but who knew it was for that bitch Jiang Yunzhu?
Shen Xingjian never meddled in other people's business, so why would he stand up for Jiang Yunzhu?
Chen Xiuming's eyes narrowed involuntarily.
Could there be some illicit affair between them?
Thinking of this, Chen Xiuming became furious.
He and Jiang Yunzhu are engaged, so Jiang Yunzhu is his woman!
Then we will not allow anyone else to touch it!
Chen Xiuming sneered, "So what if I don't let go? Does General Shen have to concern himself with such a trivial matter?"
"The Imperial Guards have the responsibility to guard the capital, so naturally they cannot allow others to cause trouble," Shen Xingjian said calmly without raising his eyebrows.
“We didn’t cause any trouble,” Chen Xiuming said slowly, drawing out his words. “This is a family matter.”
Jiang Yunzhu immediately panicked, "What family matters? Chen Xiuming, are you crazy? We're not engaged!"
"I think you're the one who's gone mad." Chen Xiuming's grip on her hand tightened involuntarily.
"The imperial decree for the marriage will be issued in a few days. Haven't you made enough of a scene yet? What are you still being so dramatic about?"
A marriage arranged by imperial decree...
Shen Xingjian's right hand, hidden in his sleeve, involuntarily clenched.
It turns out she was already engaged...
"Let go of me." Jiang Yunzhu cried out softly as her hands were gripped so tightly, her brows furrowing.
She was pampered by her father and brothers from a young age and never suffered any grievances.
She was so angry that tears welled up in her eyes.
Her eyes were already large and round, but now they were red-rimmed and tears were welling up inside, making her look like a wronged little rabbit.
Their eyes were watery, making them look both pitiful and heartbreaking.
Shen Xingjian saw this and his heart skipped a beat.
With a flick of his fingertips, a hidden weapon was suddenly launched.
Chen Xiuming looked at Jiang Yunzhu's tearful face with excitement in his eyes.
He grinned and said, "Beg me, and I'll..."
Before he could finish speaking, a cry of pain suddenly rang out, "Ah—"
Chen Xiuming felt a sharp pain on the back of his hand and subconsciously released Jiang Yunzhu's wrist, then quickly looked at his hand.
A small, concealed weapon had already pierced the back of his hand, and blood was slowly seeping out.
Chen Xiuming was both shocked and furious. His eyes widened as he looked in the direction from which the hidden weapon had been fired.
Shen Xingjian stood tall and straight not far away, his face cold and stern, his eyes revealing a chilling intent and an undisguised warning.
"I don't care what your relationship is, bullying people is wrong." His voice was low and cold.
Chen Xiuming gritted his teeth in anger, but he was also wary of Shen Xingjian's skills, so he could only cover his injured hand and glare at him fiercely.
He was still putting on a brave front, saying, "General Shen, you're meddling way too much! I'll let you off this time! But watch out next time!"
After saying that, he pulled Mengniang away quickly.
A wise person does not contend over trivial matters!
After they get married, let's see how he torments Jiang Yunzhu!
After Chen Xiuming's men left, the room fell silent for a moment.
Jiang Yunzhu looked up at the tall and handsome Shen Xingjian in front of her, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes.
"Thank you very much, General Shen. I will remember your kindness and repay you if I have the opportunity in the future."
Her voice was soft and sweet.
The sound reached his ears, causing Shen Xingjian's heart to tremble slightly.
His stern face softened slightly. "Miss Jiang, you're too kind."
When their eyes met, the surrounding noise seemed to be shut out into another world, leaving only the soft sound of each other's breathing.
But suddenly, a male voice rang out.
"Alright, alright, you're done talking, right? I have something else to say."
Seeing that he finally had a chance to speak, Lin Xiangxian couldn't wait to speak up.
He hadn't yet explained the matter that Xie Shizi had entrusted to him to Shen Xingjian.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he felt a cold gaze directed at him.
Lin Xiangxian felt a chill run down his spine.
Uh... maybe he shouldn't have spoken up just now.
Qinglan Courtyard.
The sun was high in the sky; it was almost noon, time for lunch.
Qin Jiuwei saw that Jiang Chirang was still sitting there, showing no intention of leaving.
I couldn't help but reach out and press my throbbing eyebrows.
It seems like this is really not going to end anytime soon.
Fine, as long as they don't fight, let them do whatever they want.
“Cousin, it’s getting late. Would you like to stay for lunch?” she asked.
Jiang Chirang smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, cousin."
Xie Yanli sneered inwardly, "You're quite impolite."
Lunch was prepared quickly.
Qin Jiuwei originally planned to prepare a separate meal for Xie Yanli, just like yesterday, so that he could eat it by his bedside.
But to her surprise, when she returned from the small kitchen, she saw Xie Yanli had gotten out of bed!
He was also dressed in an outer garment, a dark green robe.
Qin Jiuwei walked quickly to him with a worried expression and looked up at him.
"Husband, why did you get out of bed? Your injuries haven't healed yet."
Xie Yanli smiled at her and said, "Don't worry, Madam, I'm fine."
If a wolf gets into his house, he naturally has to get up and chase it away...
Qin Jiuwei still looked him up and down with some unease.
Seeing that he looked perfectly normal, I felt a little relieved.
I couldn't help but think to myself, "He truly lives up to Xie Yanli's reputation."
This resilience is truly astonishing.
Main house.
Jiang Chirang picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip in a good mood.
With his three children away and Xie Yanli injured and unable to get out of bed, Xie Yanli was unable to leave his bed.
He will be able to have lunch with his cousin alone today.
This was the first time since he returned to the capital.
As he thought about it, Jiang Chirang's lips involuntarily curled up slightly.
He was really looking forward to it...
Just then, a maid's voice came from the doorway, "Young Madam."
Jiang Chirang's eyes lit up, and he immediately stood up.
But before the smile could fully form, the maidservant bowed and said, "Young Master."
Jiang Chirang's smile froze instantly.
Wasn't Xie Yanli injured? How come he got out of bed?
"Husband, be careful."
Qin Jiuwei helped Xie Yanli slowly into the house.
Xie Yanli looked up and saw Jiang Chirang's surprised yet resentful eyes, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Very satisfied.
"Thank you, Your Highness," Jiang Chirang called out reluctantly.
Xie Yanli nodded. "Cousin Jiang, please sit down. We're all family, no need for formalities."
Jiang Chirang's brow twitched violently.
He gritted his teeth and sat down in his seat.
The food was served quickly.
Since Xie Yanli was still ill, the dishes were very light.
Mountain-style Three Crispy Dishes, Steamed Crucian Carp, Snow Cloud Soup, Egg White Chicken Slices...
Upon receiving the chicken slices with egg white, Jiang Chirang seemed to remember something and couldn't help but chuckle softly.
He turned to look at Qin Jiuwei, his eyes smiling, "When you were little, my cousin, you really liked this dish, 'Hibiscus Chicken Slices.' Back then, you were still young and always pronounced 'Hibiscus Chicken Slices' as 'Rongrong Chicken Slices.'"
Upon hearing this, Qin Jiuwei couldn't help but smile.
“When I was little, I was very slow to learn to speak. My mother told me that I didn’t start speaking fluently until I was four years old.”
The two talked about their childhood.
Xie Yanli remained silent, not saying a word, but simply reaching for the steamed crucian carp beside him.
After picking up a piece of crucian carp meat, he took it to his own plate.
But suddenly, his wrist jerked violently.
It seemed as if the wound had been aggravated, causing her to cry out softly in pain, and the fish slice fell onto the table.
"What's wrong?" Qin Jiuwei's attention was immediately drawn to him.
She turned to look at him, her eyes filled with worry and concern.
Xie Yanli frowned deeply.
"I think I accidentally aggravated my wound just now..."
Qin Jiuwei immediately became nervous, "Husband, please don't move, it will be troublesome if the wound reopens."
Her voice was incredibly gentle, "Just tell me what you want to eat, and I'll serve you the food."
Xie Yanli sighed softly, his voice lowering slightly, "Alas, that would be a great trouble for you, Madam."
Jiang Chirang: ...
What are you pretending for? You got the benefit and you're still acting innocent!
Don't think I don't know, you did that on purpose!
