Chapter 231 Decided to leave
Thinking of this, Xiao Jingchuan's eyes darkened, and then he looked at Jiang Shuyu and said:
"I've heard that the Nanmo Kingdom has found a princess who was living among the people. The emperor of Nanmo Kingdom is very pleased. He not only exempted the people from taxes for three years, but also tacitly allowed trade with other countries.
They've also chosen an auspicious date for her canonization ceremony. If I'm right, the news has already spread, and His Majesty will surely send a gift. I've already recommended myself to His Majesty, and I'll be the one to deliver the gift to the Nanmo Kingdom!"
"you!……"
Listening to Xiao Jingchuan's words, Jiang Shuyu couldn't help but be slightly stunned. She had never thought that Xiao Jingchuan had done so much for her without saying anything. Now everyone was avoiding him from being sent to the capital of Nanmo Kingdom, but he was willing to risk his own life to help her rescue her master. He was obviously a prince of noble status, but he was willing to do this for her. How could she not be moved by this!
Afraid that Jiang Shuyu would say something else, Xiao Jingchuan looked at her and said, "I'm determined to leave. No matter what, I won't let you take the risk alone."
Seeing Xiao Jingchuan so serious, Jiang Shuyu's eyes flashed with warmth, and then she looked at Xiao Jingchuan and nodded slightly in response:
"Okay, let's go together!"
Listening to Jiang Shuyu's words, Xiao Jingchuan couldn't help but smile slightly. He immediately looked at her and said, "It's getting late today. When you go back later, tell your family clearly that the journey is long and I'm afraid I won't be able to reply to them in time. Tell them not to worry!"
Jiang Shuyu then remembered that she had not yet told her mother. If they knew that she was going to Nanmo Country, she wondered if they would agree.
Seeing Jiang Shuyu's embarrassment, Xiao Jingchuan naturally knew what she was worried about. He immediately looked at her and said to comfort her: "Don't worry, if Madam asks you, just tell her directly that Doctor Xu is your master. Now that your master has died and is away from home, you, as his apprentice, are going out to look for him. I think Madam Jiang will not make things difficult for you!"
Thinking of Ruan, Jiang Shuyu's eyes narrowed slightly. Ruan always responded to her requests and would not stop her. However, this time was different from the past. She was also unsure in her heart, but she had to give it a try after all.
Jiang Shuyu nodded slightly, then looked at Xiao Jingchuan and agreed: "Okay, I got it. I'll wait for you at the city gate tomorrow morning!"
At this time, Jiang Shuyu was already prepared. Even if Ruan did not allow it, she would go to save her master. At worst, she would accept her mother's punishment when she came back.
Here, Jiang Shuyu said goodbye to Xiao Jingchuan and walked towards the general's mansion with an uneasy mood. Her heart was in turmoil all the way. She didn't know how to speak to Ruan when she saw her later.
The carriage moved slowly and unsteadily, and soon arrived outside the general's mansion. When they arrived outside the mansion, Jiang Shuyu had not yet reacted. Jinshu felt Jiang Shuyu's depression and could not help but pursed her lips. Then she looked at Jiang Shuyu and said:
"Girl, we're here!"
After hearing Jinshu's words, Jiang Shuyu finally reacted and hurriedly lifted the bamboo curtain to look outside. Seeing that Jinshu had come to the door, Jiang Shuyu couldn't help but be very surprised. She had never felt that time passed so quickly. She had returned to the mansion unknowingly.
No matter how reluctant she was, she still walked towards Ruan's courtyard. However, unlike Jiang Shuyu's guess, when Ruan heard that Jiang Shuyu was going to Nanmo Kingdom, she thought for a moment and agreed directly.
Jiang Shuyu looked at Ruan in surprise. She didn't expect her to agree so quickly. She had already prepared herself for rejection, but she didn't expect that it would be useless now.
Seeing Jiang Shuyu's surprised expression, Ruan looked at her helplessly and said:
"You are the girl I raised since you were a child. Do you really think I don't know the little tricks in your mind? Even if I don't agree with you going, can you just stay in the mansion honestly?"
Listening to Ruan's words, Jiang Shuyu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. No matter what, she must go and rescue her master.
Seeing Jiang Shuyu like this, Ruan Shi understood everything in her heart. She glanced at her sideways, then looked at her with a complaining look and said:
"You! I know you will never stay in Kyoto obediently. Doctor Xu is missing. Now that you have news about her, you will definitely find a way to save him.
Rather than letting you face it alone, I would rather agree to your behavior directly, so that you don't have to rush around and not care about anything else.
If I really don't let you go out, who knows when you'll sneak away! Instead of letting you leave in a hurry, it's better to prepare more people to take you with you. Even if something unexpected happens, there will be someone around to help you, so you won't be so panicked and running around like a headless chicken! "
Jiang Shuyu didn't expect that Ruan had guessed all her little thoughts. Her face flushed immediately, and a trace of guilt flashed in her eyes. If Ruan didn't agree, she really wanted to leave. But now her thoughts were guessed by Ruan, and Ruan didn't stop her. This made her muster up courage again.
"What are you talking about, mother? What can I do? Mother, you are so understanding and righteous. I am very grateful to you. When I return from Nanmo Country, I will definitely serve you well!"
Ruan Shi looked at Jiang Shuyu like this and could not help but shook her head helplessly.
Thinking of the news from Xiao Jingchuan, Ruan's eyes couldn't help but sink, and then she continued: "Besides, there is also His Royal Highness Prince Jing to accompany you on the adventure, so why should I worry!"
Listening to Ruan's words, Jiang Shuyu looked at Ruan in surprise. She didn't expect that Ruan even knew about this matter. Then she denied it. No, Xiao Jingchuan would definitely not make such a public statement when doing things, so it was very likely that he said it himself.
I think he was worried that Ruan would not agree to her going to Nanmo Country, so he told her the current situation. With him by her side to protect her, Ruan should be able to rest assured.
Seeing Jiang Shuyu like this, Ruan Shi naturally knew that she had guessed the intention of His Royal Highness Prince Jing. As expected, a girl cannot be kept at home when she grows up. Without waiting for Jiang Shuyu to speak, Ruan Shi pretended to be angry and ordered her to leave.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense here. You have to get up early tomorrow. Yu'er, go back quickly and get some rest. When you come back, think about how to please me later!"
"Yes, then Yu'er will go back first, and mother will rest early."
