Chapter 152 The Cold and Noble Prince is Here (6)
After saying that, he brought out the pastries. Ji Huaian was a little surprised when he looked at the animals of various shapes in front of him. Each animal was lifelike, and even the expressions were the characteristics of the animal itself.
Ji Huaian picked up a piece and held it in his hand. The person who could make such an exquisite pastry must be a person with a meticulous mind, Ji Huaian thought.
He took a bite under Fuyun's expectant gaze. Sure enough, the taste of the cake did not disappoint him. It was sweet but not greasy. Ji Huaian took the remaining half of the cake and looked up at Fuyun and asked, "Did you come back late today specifically to look for this cake?"
Ji Huaian likes sweet food, and this pastry suits his taste very well. He asked this because he wanted to know who made the pastry.
Fuyun knew that his prince would definitely like it, so when he asked, he told him everything, "Prince, this pastry is made thanks to me. Miss Jiang made it specially for me to thank me for being her benefactor."
Ji Huaian grasped the key point. He lowered his eyes and asked in a stern voice, "Miss Jiang?"
Fu Yun, who was interrupted, told Ji Huaian about Jiang Rou, "Miss Jiang is the girl that the prince rescued from Fang Yuan that day." As he spoke, he sighed slightly when he thought of Jiang Rou's life experience, "Miss Jiang is a poor person. She has no memory of her past and was rescued by someone. Unfortunately, that mother and son are not good people. When I went to get medicine for the prince that day, I saw Miss Jiang fainted on the ground with blood all over her face at the door of the clinic." Fu Yun told Ji Huaian how he got to know Jiang Rou.
Although Jiang Rou's tragic experience was pitiful, Ji Huaian felt that her appearance was too coincidental and became suspicious.
When Fuyun finished telling Jiang Rou's story, he found that the prince had put down the pastries in his hand. He was about to ask something when he heard Ji Huaian say in a cold voice, "Be prepared for danger in times of peace. You have been too idle lately. You should take the punishment yourself."
Fuyun was shocked by this sudden change, but he still became serious. He bowed to Ji Huaian and wanted to walk out of the study. As soon as he turned around, he heard the prince say "wait a minute". Fuyun thought that the prince had spared him, but he didn't expect to hear Ji Huaian say in a deep voice "Take the pastries out" the next second.
Fuyun walked out of the study holding the lunch box. If Miss Jiang knew that her pastries were abandoned by the prince like this, she would definitely be sad. Fuyun thought so, so he decided to finish the pastries before receiving the punishment.
Fuyun knew why Ji Huaian was like this. Ji Huaian was just worried that Jiang Rou was a spy. They were now in the open and the enemy was in the dark, so they could not take it lightly. He was lax and should be punished.
The next day, Jiang Rou noticed someone staring at her in the dark as soon as she got up. After observing for a while, she found that the person in the dark was just staring at her. Jiang Rou's expression was no different from usual, but she already knew in her heart who was staring at her.
She was a weak woman, powerless and penniless, with nothing worth mentioning. She thought that the trouble was caused by the plate of cakes yesterday, and the person in the dark was naturally sent by that person.
Jiang Rou did not retreat because of the suspicion. Instead, she felt that it was an unexpected surprise. Ji Huaian suspected that she would naturally pay more attention to her, which was what Jiang Rou wanted.
Thinking of this, Jiang Rou remained expressionless. She just had a faint smile on her face as she listened to the old lady next to her talking about the past. She only felt a little annoyed when she looked down and saw the thin calluses on her hands.
Ji Huaian sent someone to book Jiang Rou for several days and found that Jiang Rou's daily schedule was exceptionally orderly. Ji Huaian looked at the description of Jiang Rou's daily activities in the letter and suddenly thought of Fuyun's words that day, "Prince, Miss Jiang is truly a rare kind person in this world."
Ji Huaian now thinks that what Fuyun said is true. He feels that so-called good people are either hiding their kindness too deeply or are really consistent. However, based on his observations over the past few days, it is more likely that Jiang Rou belongs to the second category.
Retracting his thoughts, Ji Huaian said calmly to the void, "No need to go tomorrow." He thought he was overthinking.
When Jiang Rou woke up in the morning, she didn't feel any gazes in the dark, so she probably guessed that she was temporarily innocent in Ji Huaian's eyes.
Jiang Rou was getting better, but Wang Po ran into trouble.
Fang Yuan was very angry after being beaten awake, but his parents, who had always loved him, did not indulge him like before. Instead, they asked him to be patient. The two words Fang Yuan hated the most were "be patient".
He couldn't touch Ji Huaian, the big Buddha, but he could always teach Wang Pozi and Ergou, the two minions who made him embarrassed, a lesson.
Because Fang Xuchuan repeatedly told him to behave himself for a while, he did not show up in person, but money talks.
He asked people to find beggars on the street to cause trouble at Wang Po's house. The result was obvious. Wang Po's family was always robbed and smashed by a group of beggars. The mother and son had no peace, and Ergou's injuries had not yet healed and were aggravated.
Mrs. Wang was not popular, and this matter had obviously offended someone, so everyone turned a blind eye, fearing that their family would be the next to suffer.
Just like now, Mrs. Wang sat on the ground looking at the debris all over the floor. The house that she had cleaned up with great difficulty turned into ruins again. Before she could feel sad, Ergou's voice came from the inner room, "Mom, mom."
Hearing Ergou's voice, Wang Po stood up and walked towards the inner room. Ergou was lying on the bed with a pale face. He looked at Wang Po with disheveled hair and covered in dust and sighed. After a long time, he said, "Mom, let's go back. They will come again if we stay here."
When Mrs. Wang saw her son's appearance and thought of the mess all over the place, she burst into tears, "It's all that little bitch Jiang Rou's fault. If it weren't for her, none of this would have happened and my son wouldn't have gotten hurt." When she mentioned Jiang Rou, she was so angry that her back teeth were almost broken.
She did not blame Fang Yuan for injuring Ergou, nor did she blame the beggar who smashed her house. Ergou saw his mother like this and heard it so many times that he couldn't help but believe it. He wondered if Jiang Rou hadn't happened to him.
Jiang Rou didn't know the situation here, but she left in the first place because she was afraid of what would happen. Ji Huaian had a high status, so Fang Yuan naturally didn't dare to offend him. The only ones who could vent their anger on were them, a group of powerless and low-level people.
Half a month later, Fuyun stepped into the courtyard again. He saw the smile on Jiang Rou's face and felt a little guilty for some reason. This guilty feeling reached its peak when Jiang Rou said that he must have been very busy in the past half month and he had to make pastries for him.
The pastry this time was not as exquisite as the last time. Fuyun couldn't stop eating after taking a bite. He didn't swallow it, but kept praising "Miss Jiang's craftsmanship has improved again", and then took another bite.
Seeing that he liked it so much, Jiang Rou smiled gently. She said softly, "Brother Fuyun, if you like it, eat more. This pastry is simple to make. I made some more. You can take some when you leave." Hearing her say that, Fuyun nodded repeatedly.
After Fuyun had eaten and drunk his fill, he returned to Fang's house with the pastries that Jiang Rou had prepared for him. However, as he remembered the lesson she had taught him last time, he did not take out the pastries.
But Jiang Rou was so willing to take it that the brocade bag in front of Fuyun was filled to the brim, and it was so conspicuous when hanging in front of her.
Ji Huaian thought of the taste of the pastries last time and couldn't help but look at his waist a few more times. Unexpectedly, Fu Yun was particularly tactless this time and didn't notice Ji Huaian's gaze at all.
Ji Huaian asked casually, "You went to the courtyard again," which seemed like a question but was actually an affirmative sentence.
Fu Yun nodded in agreement. After what Ji Huaian said last time, he reflected on himself, so he personally checked Jiang Rou's background and found nothing unusual. This is why he continued to interact with Jiang Rou.
When he heard Ji Huaian mention that, he thought the other party was going to say something again, so he wanted to defend Jiang Rou, but before he could say anything, he heard Ji Huaian say again, "The pastries were good last time."
Hearing what the prince said, Fu Yun understood. He took off the brocade bag from his waist, opened it and placed it on the desk, then said to Ji Huaian, "Prince, you might as well try this. Compared with the pastries we had last time, this tastes even better."
