Quick Wear: The male protagonists all fell in love with her at first sight
Chapter 197: The Cold and Noble Prince (51)
Ji Huaian naturally heard about what happened today, and he took Jiang Rou out of the palace that day.
At the gate of Cining Palace, the Queen Mother held Jiang Rou's hand, her eyes full of reluctance, and she advised, "Arou, you must come to the palace to see me often."
Jiang Rouhui held the Queen Mother's hand and said softly, "Don't worry, Grandma. A'rou will come back often." Then she gathered the Queen Mother's cloak and said, "The weather is cold. Grandma, please go back soon."
Ji Huaian, who was standing behind Jiang Rou, also said, "It's getting late, grandma, please go back soon. I will bring Rou to see you often."
The Queen Mother stood at the palace gate, watching the two people leaving together. She didn't say anything until they were out of sight before saying, "Go back."
Inside the carriage, Jiang Rou lay in Ji Huaian's arms sobbing. Ji Huaian held her gently in his arms and coaxed her softly, "Arou, I know you are worried about your grandmother, but there have been a lot of things going on in the palace lately, and I am worried about you staying there."
Jiang Rou hummed in a depressed tone. Hearing this, Ji Huaian bent down and kissed her forehead, "Don't cry. If your grandmother sees you, she'll think I bullied you."
Hearing his teasing voice, Jiang Rou's face turned red. After the imperial decree of marriage came down, Jiang Rou had been staying in the palace and had never met Madam Ji.
She asked with some concern, "Huaian, will my grandmother blame me for deliberately hiding it from her?", a hint of worry appeared in her eyes.
Ji Huaian said firmly, "No, my grandmother likes you very much."
Jiang Rou was somewhat curious about why Ji Huaian was so sure, and this curiosity was even stronger when she saw the pity in Old Madam Ji's eyes.
Before she could figure it out, the system's mean voice came into her mind, "Rou Rou, I know why. Do you want to know?"
Jiang Rou ignored it and was about to salute Madam Ji with red eyes. However, before she could bend down, Madam Ji helped her up. She said, "Good boy, get up quickly."
Before Jiang Rou could say anything, she saw Mrs. Ji saying with a guilty look on her face, "It is our Ji family that has let you down. Your grandmother is here to apologize to you."
Jiang Rou's face was full of confusion. Before she could say anything, Ji Huaian, who was standing behind her, suddenly spoke in a firm voice, "Don't worry, grandma. Rou is my only wife in this life. I will love and protect her and will not let her suffer any grievances."
As he said this, he looked at Jiang Rou, who was full of confusion, gave her a reassuring look, and said nothing more.
Upon hearing this, Madam Ji didn't look at him but looked at Jiang Rou instead. Seeing Jiang Rou's slightly red cheeks, Madam Ji breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't worry, Rou. If he treats you badly, your grandma will support you."
Jiang Rou's face turned even redder when she heard that. Ji Mingjin, who was outside the house, heard the laughter and joy inside the house, clenched his fists, his face became terribly gloomy, and he turned and left without waiting for the maid to report.
When Jiang Rou and Ji Huaian came out of Old Madam Ji's room, it was already dark. They walked side by side, with maids and servants following closely behind them.
Before Jiang Rou could ask, Ji Huaian stopped and grabbed Jiang Rou's hand, and explained in a gentle voice, "I told my grandmother that I offended you. I have admired you for a long time, so I asked my uncle for permission. It was me who offended you."
Jiang Rou's eyes widened when she heard that. She didn't expect Ji Huaian would go to such lengths to protect her. In this way, not only would Old Madam Ji not vent her anger on her, she would also feel full of guilt towards her.
When Jiang Rou thought of this, tears welled up in her eyes and she asked in a trembling voice, "You were covered in scars a few days ago because of this."
Ji Huaian didn't say anything, he just walked forward to wipe her tears and coaxed her softly, "Arou, this is none of your business. I love you and I want to give you the best. Don't feel guilty about this."
Jiang Rou cried and threw herself into Ji Huaian's arms, crying and cursing, "Fool, you are a fool." Ji Huaian responded with exceptional good temper, "Yes, yes, I am a fool, and Arou is going to marry a fool as her wife."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Rou patted him on the shoulder and scolded him with a smile, "You're shameless." Ji Huaian laughed out loud, and the sound of his chest shaking made Jiang Rou feel particularly at ease.
When the two of them were walking back to the courtyard, they saw a dark shadow at the door of Jiang Rou's courtyard. Jiang Rou was so scared that she grabbed Ji Huaian's hand and hid in his arms. Ji Huaian gently stroked her back and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
The man in black seemed to have heard the movements of the two people. He glanced over here and then left. Ji Huaian stared at the man's back with a terrifyingly cold look in his eyes. After a pause, he gently comforted Jiang Rou and said, "There's no one here."
Jiang Rou turned around and found that the black shadow had disappeared, but Jiang Rou was still scared. Ji Huaian took a long time to coax her to sleep.
As soon as he walked out of the yard, he heard a familiar voice. Ji Huaian looked in the direction of the sound, stood up and walked towards that direction.
In the darkness, Ji Huaian asked coldly "What's the matter" without waiting for the man to speak. The man bowed slightly and said "The master said to let the prince pay attention to Prince Heng."
Ji Huaian nodded, and when the man in black was about to leave, Ji Huaian stopped him and said, "Tell your master that if he wants to succeed, he must behave himself and don't let me find out that she has planted someone in this courtyard."
The man in black paused, leaned over, said "yes", and left the place quietly.
As the late emperor had just passed away, Jiang Rou and Ji Huaian's marriage had to be put on hold. However, in order to show her respect for Jiang Rou, Old Madam Ji took her to her side and taught her personally.
Not only that, when she goes out, Mrs. Ji Huaian praises Jiang Rou to everyone she meets. Now everyone in the capital knows how much Mrs. Ji likes and values her granddaughter-in-law who has not yet married into the family.
After hearing about this incident, Shen Wanqing broke several cups. She smashed the room like crazy. When Mrs. Shen came, the room was already a mess.
Mrs. Shen walked into the house with a frown on her face. When Shen Wanqing saw her for the first time, her eyes turned red with grievance. Mrs. Shen couldn't scold her with a stern face and could only coax her.
Mrs. Shen comforted her, "Qing'er, don't be afraid. You were born in the Prime Minister's Mansion and are the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. That woman is just an orphan. What can she use to compete with you? Don't worry, when you marry into the Ji family and hold Ji Mingjin's heart, this Ji family will be yours."
Hearing this, Shen Wanqing said uncertainly, "But mother, Madam Ji likes that woman so much, and Princess Wenshu is also back."
Upon hearing this, Madam Shen said, "I don't believe that an orphan girl can be so likable. She was just lucky that the late emperor granted her a marriage. As for the Grand Princess Wenshu, she has never asked about the affairs of the Marquis's Mansion."
As he spoke, he stroked Shen Wanqing's hair and said, "With my son's means, he will definitely catch Ji Mingjin. Then my son's good days will come. That woman's daughter can never compare to you."
Shen Wanqing giggled and threw herself into Mrs. Shen's arms. She vowed, "Don't worry, mother. Qing'er will live a good life."
She recalled Shen Ning's inner laughter. Half a month ago, Shen Ning cursed Prime Minister Shen for being unfair and was slapped by him. Shen Ning broke off relations with Prime Minister Shen on the spot.
Then when she arrived at the government office, she was asked to set up her own household. In that era, only widows or prostitutes who had redeemed themselves would set up their own household; girls from good families would never do so.
Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Shen threatened to sever ties with Shen Ning, saying that what Shen Ning did had nothing to do with the Shen family, which made everyone in the capital laugh.
As for where Shen Ning went, no one knows.
