Duke Jing's younger sister

Chapter 257 Just come back

After detoxifying again, Jiang Li's body was completely recovered.

The two of them went shopping in Luozhu City. Shen Beiqi bought her many delicious pastries and claimed that she was too thin and they felt bad to the touch.

Jiang Li directly stuffed the half-eaten cake into his mouth, blocking his mouth and preventing him from talking nonsense again.

Apart from playing the "reluctant but willing" game with him at night, these two days have been quite pleasant.

Miao Yuze disappeared all day.

She said that there were many people to visit, both living and dead, and she had to visit them one by one.

Shen Beiqi went to Luozhu Palace, saying that he wanted to visit an old friend.

After he left, only Jiang Li and Yao Wang were left in the yard, drinking tea under the wisteria trellis.

After talking with the King of Medicine, Jiang Li realized that although Miao Yu's father had the title of Prince, he had no real power.

Her mother died early and her father remarried. The one who was supposed to be sent to Southern Wu to marry was the daughter born to her stepmother.

Since he was ten years old, Miao Yu has lived with Medicine King in the mountains and has a distant relationship with his father.

However, when her father begged her to marry to Nanwu on behalf of her sister, she agreed.

"You have no intention of resisting at all?" Jiang Li asked in surprise.

The sound of waves in the distance drifted in with the wind, and from time to time wisteria petals fell and landed between her hair.

"With Miao Yu's personality, if he didn't want to do it, how could he swallow his anger?"

Medicine King sat in the rocking chair, his eyes deep, "That silly girl said, since she wants to marry to Nanwu, then she should marry. She will become the Princess of Nanwu, and in the future she will be the Queen of Nanwu. When she becomes the Queen, she will definitely return to Luozhu and give her stepmother two slaps in the face."

Jiang Li believed that Miao Yu intentionally used these seemingly heartless words to conceal his true thoughts.

"Senior, do you believe it?" Jiang Li asked, "You must have tried to stop it, right?"

"In fact, she wanted to go."

Medicine King continued, "That girl just thought that if she went to Nanwu, she would have her own home and her own man. After all, in Luozhu, no one really cared about her."

Jiang Li smiled and said, "How could there be no one? Don't you love her very much, Senior?"

In the past two days, the King of Medicine seemed to be full of disgust towards Miao Yu, but in fact he sent Shan Wu to the beach every day to buy fresh fish and shrimps because Miao Yu loved to eat them.

Miao Yu turned his alchemy room upside down. Shan Wu was so anxious that she jumped up and down, but Yao Wang just waved his sleeves and followed her.

The Medicine King shook his head and sighed helplessly, "After all, I can't accompany her for the rest of her life, nor can I give her the feeling of home she wants. Since she is willing to go, there is nothing wrong with leaving Luozhu's right and wrong."

Jiang Li was speechless.

Miao Yu's father is a prince, and since he is not given an important position, he is bound to be looked down upon by those who flatter the powerful and look down on the weak.

Her stepmother is unkind to her, and even if she wants to find a husband in the future, she probably won't really take the time to choose one for her.

From this perspective, marrying the third prince as a concubine is not necessarily a bad thing.

It has to be said that when it comes to choosing these major life events, Miao Yu is much more straightforward than her.

Just like a gambler, he has the courage to place his bet, and the determination to withdraw after failure.

The next morning, they set out on their journey back to Nanwu.

Miao Yu was carrying a huge bag filled with medicine bottles, which made a jingling sound when he walked.

The Medicine King's heart was bleeding, but he still managed to force a smile, "Master Shen, I'll have to trouble you to take care of my naughty apprentice on the way. Also, don't forget the agreement between us."

Agreement? What agreement?

Jiang Li looked at the young man beside him with a puzzled look on his face.

Shen Beiqi smiled slightly, bowed and said: "Senior, you will definitely hear good news before March next year."

Miao Yu's eyes were red, and he choked up and said, "Master, you must take care of yourself. Next time I come back, I don't want to worship at your grave. I want to see you again."

"Puh, puh, puh..." Medicine King said with disgust, "Girl, why are you talking so harshly? Hurry up and leave."

The King of Medicine waved his hand, looking as if he couldn't wait for her to leave, but his eyes were slightly red.

Jiang Li bowed to the Medicine King and said goodbye, then was carried onto the horse by Shen Beiqi.

Then he mounted the horse and took her into his arms.

"Should we find another horse when we get to the city?"

Jiang Li looked up at him slightly, "I was not feeling well when I came here, but now I can ride by myself."

Shen Beiqi turned his horse's head and chuckled, "Why are you being so formal with your husband?"

Jiang Li paused, "...Husband?"

"Yeah." Shen Beiqi looked down at her, "Do you still want to marry someone else?"

This tone...sounds familiar.

The scene of that day emerged in Jiang Li's mind. There was a dangerous light in his eyes, and he asked with a smile, "Do you want to try someone else?"

Later, when he was "punishing" her, he kept asking her in her ear whether she would dare to talk nonsense again in the future.

Those who know the current affairs are handsome.

She immediately raised her hands to indicate that she would never talk nonsense again, including not saying that he was incapable.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and then...

Jiang Li's ears felt hot, and she swallowed her saliva and said, "It's impossible. I don't even dare to think about it."

After getting a satisfactory answer, Shen Beiqi was content and his smile was like a blooming peach blossom.

The journey back to the city was particularly smooth.

Every time he arrived at a place, Shen Beiqi would look for some delicious food, and soon Jiang Li's complexion became rosy and some flesh was restored on her cheeks.

Finally, as the New Year was approaching, the three arrived at Jiangdu City.

Looking at the familiar streets and street scenes, Jiang Li wondered where should she go now?

Should I go back to the palace or back to Jiang Mansion?

After thinking it over, she decided to go back to Jiang Mansion first and take things one step at a time.

She gently pulled his sleeve and said, "Please take me back to the Jiang Mansion."

Shen Beiqi was originally thinking that it was not appropriate to bring her back to the Shen Mansion like this.

If he wanted to marry her in a grand ceremony, he couldn't just bring her back to the Shen residence like a concubine at this moment.

Hearing her say that she wanted to go back to the Jiang Mansion, Shen Beiqi said "hmm" softly, and he had the same idea in his mind.

Jiang Cheng has now been promoted to the fourth-rank scholar of the Hanlin Academy. When Shen Beiqi rode his horse to the gate of Jiang's house, Jiang Cheng happened to be returning from the yamen.

As soon as Jiang Cheng stepped onto the stairs, he heard the sound of horse hooves approaching, so he turned around to look.

The young man, as bright as the moon, was riding a snow-white horse. The brown fox fur collar on his black cloak was swaying in the wind.

In his arms, he held a beautiful girl with bright eyes.

The fluffy white hood of the cloak slightly covered her cheeks, but Jiang Cheng could still recognize at a glance that it was his sister.

"Aman——" Jiang Cheng walked up quickly.

Although he had received a letter from Shen Beiqi early in the morning, informing him that Jiang Li had found an excellent way to detoxify and her life was safe.

But I always felt a little uneasy because I didn't see the person standing in front of me in person.

Jiang Li was carried off the horse by Shen Beiqi, and was immediately pulled to the side by Jiang Cheng, who looked her up and down carefully.

Seeing that she came back all the way from Luozhu, not only did she not look tired at all, but her skin was white and rosy, and her thin cheeks were a little rounder, he finally felt relieved.

Jiang Li simply turned around twice in front of him and said with a smile, "Brother, please look carefully. I haven't lost a single hair."

After going to Luozhu, she became more lively. Jiang Cheng smiled and patted her head, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
