PFC Chapter 233 Leaving
Chapter 233 Leaving
"I'll leave all matters at home, big or small, to you two to assist your mother in handling. Jinshu and Jinyue, you two, come with me over there! I'll go pick out a few servants who know some martial arts skills and strengthen the defenses at night. Now that father hasn't returned yet, we need to be extra vigilant at home!"
After hearing Jiang Shuyu's instructions, several people responded in unison, "Yes!"
Although Yu Lan's eyes were filled with worry, she also knew that she and Yu Qiu were powerless. Even if they followed the young lady on a long journey, they would probably be a drag. Instead of making the young lady worry, it would be more practical for her to stay in the mansion and take good care of it for her so that she would not have to worry about anything.
Yu Lan told Jin Shu and the others about Jiang Shuyu's preferences, fearing that they would not be able to take good care of the girl. Jiang Shuyu listened to Yu Lan's chattering with helplessness on her face, but she also knew Yu Lan's concerns, so she followed her.
No matter how reluctant Yu Lan was, Jiang Shuyu still got up early in the morning. After Yu Qiu and the others helped her wash up, Jiang Shuyu had a simple breakfast and went straight out the door.
Jiang Shuyu walked to the door, kowtowed towards Ruan's yard, and then stood up to leave. Although Ruan had someone send her a message that she didn't need to see her off when she left in the morning,
But Jiang Shuyu knew that Ruan just didn't like the sadness of parting. She had always known that every time her father went out, her mother would secretly gaze into the distance in her yard, her eyes full of reluctance. She didn't know why her mother was like this before. She was obviously reluctant to see her father go, so why didn't she go to see him off?
Now she knows the cruelty of this society, and it will not stagnate because of your reluctance. Life is a journey that goes farther and farther, and each of them must learn to say goodbye!
Until Jiang Shuyu walked out of the house, Ruan Shi had not appeared. Only the lanterns swaying in the wind faded away in the flickering light, like a pair of eyes bidding farewell reluctantly.
Hearing the footsteps coming from the yard, Ruan couldn't help but ask, "Has Yu'er left?"
Nanny Yang blew two puffs of hot air into her sleeves, hoping to warm her hands and make them feel less cold. Nanny Yang then slowly approached Ruan and said respectfully to her,
"The Third Miss left, and she kowtowed before leaving. I saw her eyes were red, and I think she must be reluctant to leave Madam!"
After all, she was the girl she had watched grow up. Seeing her like this now, Nanny Yang naturally felt distressed.
Listening to Nanny Yang's words, Ruan's eyes were filled with heartache. She immediately looked at Nanny Yang and said disapprovingly, "That child is too honest. It's so cold today, why would she be so particular? Really, when she comes back, I'll give her a good scolding!"
Nanny Yang's eyes were full of smiles when she heard Ruan's complaint, but she didn't say anything in return. After all, as for the Third Miss, only Madam could speak up. If anyone else said even half a sentence, it wouldn't work! Madam might hold a grudge against her for days!
Seeing Ruan looking outside with a worried look on her face, Nanny Yang finally looked at her and said to her, "Madam, it's still early. Why don't you go and rest for a while? I'll come back to help you wash up when it's daybreak."
Ruan Shi also knew that now that things had come to this, no matter what, Manduo Shuyu would not change her mind. All she could do now was to wait for him to return in the mansion and pray for his safety. Thinking of this, Ruan Shi could not help but narrow her eyes slightly, and then looked at Nanny Yang and said:
"From today on, I will pray for Yu'er's safety, eat vegetarian food, chant Buddhist scriptures, and abstain from meat and fish."
"Yes! I understand!" After hearing what Ruan said, Nanny Yang quickly responded, and then stepped forward to help Ruan go back to her room to rest.
As soon as Jiang Shuyu walked out of the house, she saw Xiao Jingchuan waiting outside. Jiang Shuyu was very surprised. She didn't expect Xiao Jingchuan to come so early. After all, it was still a while before dawn.
Seeing Jiang Shuyu coming out, Xiao Jingchuan's eyes flashed with a smile, and then he stretched out his hand towards her, looked at her and said:
"Come up, I've already made arrangements in Kyoto, nothing will happen!"
Listening to Xiao Jingchuan's words, Jiang Shuyu couldn't help but look at him in confusion, and then asked, "Has the emperor also agreed to your trip to Nanmo Kingdom?"
After all, he was the prince of the current dynasty. Although she agreed to go with Xiao Jingchuan, that also required the consent of Emperor Shunqing. Otherwise, Xiao Jingchuan had just arrived in Nanmo Country, and I am afraid that memorials would emerge in an endless stream like bamboo shoots after rain. She also knew all this, so she agreed so quickly.
Seeing Jiang Shuyu's puzzled expression, Xiao Jingchuan couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly, and then looked at Jiang Shuyu and complained: "Yu'er, you don't want to go with me, otherwise how do you know so much?"
Xiao Jingchuan saw through her thoughts, and Jiang Jiong Shuyu's eyes flashed with embarrassment. However, under the current circumstances, she could not directly admit it, so she had to evade the question and said, "No way! I just thought that as a prince, it would not be so easy for you to be sent as an envoy to another country!"
After all, with Xiao Jingchuan's ability, Emperor Shunqing wouldn't be at ease, not to mention the princes behind him, who were probably watching closely, waiting for him to make a mistake!
Knowing that Jiang Shuyu was also worried about him, Xiao Jingchuan naturally would not dwell on it. Seeing the worry in her eyes, Xiao Jingchuan hurriedly spoke to clear her confusion:
"Don't worry, I went to Nanmo Country this time with the Emperor's permission, but I also went with a mission. If I succeed, the conflict between us and Nanmo Country won't be so fierce."
At this point, a hint of mockery flashed in Xiao Jingchuan's eyes. He didn't expect that after so many years, Emperor Shunqing would want to repeat the same old trick again.
Seeing Xiao Jingchuan like this, Jiang Shuyu's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt, and she immediately looked at him and asked: "Is the emperor's task very difficult?" Otherwise, why would Xiao Jingchuan be like this.
Seeing the worry in Jiang Shuyu's eyes, Xiao Jingchuan couldn't help but smile slightly, and then looked at her and said:
"Are you worried about me, Yu'er?"
Seeing the teasing in Xiao Jingchuan's eyes, Jiang Shuyu couldn't help but feel helpless. Didn't everyone say that His Royal Highness Jing Wang was cold-blooded and ruthless? How could this be different from what she saw? It was true that he was cold-blooded, but was he really ruthless? She expressed her doubts.
Seeing Jiang Shuyu looking him up and down, Xiao Jingchuan felt a little guilty for no reason.
