Chapter 268 The Seven-Year-Old Theory
...Shameless.
Jiang Yuyue could only patiently speak again, "Then forget it, I'll go back now. Thank you for your kindness, General."
After saying this, Jiang Yuyue immediately stood up. She was not going to surrender so easily. Even if Song Jinglan was the emperor, it wouldn't be right for him to force her to change clothes in front of him in the military camp, would it?
Seeing her take a step and leave, Song Jinglan was not annoyed, and could only calmly watch her.
The more they try to conceal it, the more it confirms his suspicions.
"I was just joking with you, why are you so agitated, Young Master He?"
Song Jinglan stood up and blocked her way. "Young Master, please change your clothes in peace. This general will go out now."
After saying this, Song Jinglan indeed did not linger. He lifted the curtain and walked out of the command tent, leaving only Jiang Yuyue in the huge camp.
Even though Song Jinglan had clearly given in, Jiang Yuyue felt a bit stifled. She hadn't felt this way of being manipulated in a long time, and now that she had experienced it, it was really not a good feeling.
Although changing clothes here carries some risks, the wet clothes were quite uncomfortable against her skin. And considering that Song Jinglan wasn't so lewd as to peep, Jiang Yuyue hid behind the cloak inside the tent and changed her clothes.
Just as she finished changing her clothes, Song Jinglan walked in at the perfect moment, his meaningful gaze sweeping over her again, making Jiang Yuyue feel extremely uncomfortable.
"The ginger soup is here."
Although Jiang Feili was reluctant, he obediently went downstairs and cooked a bowl of ginger soup, which he then brought in. Jiang Yuyue was somewhat grateful for his interruption and immediately reached out to take the ginger soup and drank it down in one gulp.
"I've changed my clothes and had my ginger soup, so I won't bother the General and Doctor Jiang any longer."
Jiang Yuyue truly dared not continue to be alone with Song Jinglan. "My grandfather will probably be worried if he sees that I haven't returned all night, so I'll take my leave first."
After saying this, Jiang Yuyue immediately fled the tent, while Jiang Feili was furious at her repeated use of "Doctor Jiang".
"We finally brought him back, and we're just going to let him go like this?"
Jiang Feili said irritably, "You're always clinging to a man. Aren't you afraid the soldiers outside will gossip? If you really suspect him, why don't you knock him out and let me take his pulse? I'll know whether he's a man or a woman in no time."
Song Jinglan glanced at him and said, "Do you think he'll obediently let me knock him out?"
Jiang Feili scoffed at these words, "Is there anyone in the world you can't knock out? If you can't bear to use force, just say so."
Song Jinglan did not refute his words. There was still a question about Jiang Dazhuang's age.
Thinking of this, he turned his gaze to Jiang Feili and said, "There's something I need to entrust to you."
Jiang Yuyue was surprised that she had slipped away so easily. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but she also knew that Song Jinglan was probably becoming more and more suspicious of her identity.
Thankfully, I can return to Jinling today!
She hurriedly returned to Guangyi Hall and, seeing that it was still dark, Jiang Yuyue went back to her room to rest. She needed to conserve her energy and prepare to return to Jinling after a good night's sleep!
Early in the morning, Jiang Qimo woke up very early. He remembered Jiang Yuyue's words and never ran around. After breakfast, he played with a group of children at the entrance of Guangyitang.
Just then, Jiang Feili approached the group of children with a smile and showed them a large handful of candied fruit.
"Good children, do you want to eat something delicious?"
Seeing the snacks, the children immediately gathered around. Although Jiang Qimo hesitated a bit, he saw that the person didn't seem like a bad person, so he also went over.
Jiang Feili noticed that he had come over, and then smiled and said, "I have a lot of delicious food here, but children can't eat too much. You can eat as many as you are old enough."
At this point, Jiang Feili emphasized again, "You can't lie, okay? If I find out you lied about your age to get more food, I won't give you any!"
Upon hearing this, the children responded enthusiastically and quickly lined up to announce their ages and receive food. Soon it was Jiang Qimo's turn.
Jiang Feili looked at him and asked with a smile, "How old are you?"
"Four years old!"
Jiang Qimo answered loudly, which surprised Jiang Feili. "You're four years old?!"
Seeing the somewhat surprised expression on the person's face, Jiang Qimo paused for a moment, then added, "It should be... four and a half years old?"
Jiang Feili's expression became somewhat subtle. He remembered that He Wu had said his son was seven years old.
Are you sure you're not seven years old?
Jiang Feili quickly pressed on, "If you're seven years old, you can eat seven candied fruits!"
"But I am only four and a half years old."
Jiang Feili stared at him. "Didn't my brother say we shouldn't lie?"
Remembering something, Jiang Qimo pursed his lips and said, "Never mind then."
He came running with his short legs, while Jiang Feili watched his back thoughtfully.
A person's first reaction doesn't lie.
Song Jinglan asked him to test Jiang Dazhuang's age, but unexpectedly, He Wu actually lied!
After distributing the candied fruit to the children, Jiang Feili quickly walked towards the alley next to him.
"What a ghost."
Jiang Feili was also quite shocked at this moment, "I didn't expect you to be right, this Jiang Dazhuang really is the same age as your son!"
Song Jinglan was not surprised by this answer at all; rather, he had never believed the seven-year-old claim in the first place.
"But why did you specifically ask me to come and ask this?"
Jiang Feili found it strange, "You come to Guangyitang every day, why don't you just ask yourself?"
"That child hides whenever he sees me."
Song Jinglan said calmly, "It must have been He Wu who gave the order."
Jiang Feili finally came to his senses. Now that so many clues pointed to He Wu, could he really be Jiang Yuyue?!
"Then what are you going to do now?"
Jiang Feili crossed her arms and looked at him, "If he really is your Miss Jiang, the person you've been searching for all these years is right in front of you, should you just tie him up and take him back, or...?"
"No rush, it's not completely certain yet."
Song Jinglan remained calm, her words carrying a hint of nonchalance, "Take your time."
Perhaps because the previous night had been so thrilling, Jiang Yuyue slept straight until noon. When she woke up and was about to arrange for a carriage to return to Jinling, her maternal grandmother, Old Madam Shen, walked into her room in a panic.
"Oh no, Wu'er! It seems your maternal grandfather has caught the plague!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuyue was instantly startled and hurriedly walked towards her maternal grandfather Shen Congshan's room. Before she even got close, she heard his heavy breathing.
Jiang Yuyue inwardly cried out in alarm. She stepped forward and carefully examined his pulse. Feeling the familiar pulse, she realized that he had indeed contracted the plague.
