Getting on and off the carriage back and forth had been quite convenient, thanks to Xiaoman carrying her.
Jiang Mubai mocked his younger brother, “You claim to be so clever, but you let your own daughter be exploited like that. How can you bear it?”
“Instead of talking so much nonsense, Big Brother, will you give me Gucheng or not?”
“Fine!” Jiang Mubai sighed, “Gucheng is the most capable person by my side. This really hurts me.”
Jiang Ruobai laughed, “Otherwise, what did you think she called you ‘Dad’ for?”
Jiang Ning quickly said, “Thank you, Dad!”
“No need to be so polite to your father.”
Both fathers waved their hands together, then reacted – one looking smug, the other glaring.
After the bickering brothers left, Jiang Ning lay alone on the bed, lost in thought.
It wasn’t that she liked to think, but it served as a distraction from the pain in her leg.
Huang Ying walked in with a box in her hands, saying, “Princess Consort, someone delivered something for you from outside.”
“Who sent it?”
“The guards couldn’t tell, just that the person seemed to have the surname He and was a scholar.”
“Oh, it’s probably He Tang. Open the box and see.”
Huang Ying opened the box, revealing several packs of pastries and a letter.
She unfolded the letter and handed it to Jiang Ning.
After reading it, Jiang Ning frowned, “How did He Tang know I was injured?”
Huang Ying shook her head.
Wrapped in a cloak, Jiang Yi entered, carrying a chill as he chuckled, “I know.”
“Where have you been, Third Brother?”
Jiang Yi walked towards the brazier to warm himself, handed his cloak to Huang Ying, and then approached Jiang Ning with a smile, “You look much better now, and your complexion has improved. Does it still hurt?”
“It does.”
“You’re just being delicate.”
“Fine, I am delicate.”/p>
Jiang Ning grabbed his arm and asked, “What were you just saying about knowing something?”
Jiang Yi nodded towards the letter she was holding, “Before, Yu Shengshou was harassed by some thugs when he went out, and He Tang happened to see and tried to help. He almost got beaten too.”
“What happened after that?”
“Then they met my second sister and Uncle who had just returned. Yu
Shengshou and He Tang are both fine; don’t worry.”
“What a coincidence.”/p>
Jiang Ning let out a sigh of relief.
Jiang Yi smiled, “He Tang knew you were injured, but he didn’t dare ask to visit you. Instead, he sent you these things. To be honest, He Tang is quite loyal and loving; he still can’t forget about you even after you’ve married someone else. Tell your brother, did you ever have feelings for him?”
Jiang Ning replied, “You’re usually calm and collected, but now you’re acting like a gossipmonger. Don’t you realize this is unbecoming of the talented young master everyone says you are?”
Jiang Yi sat down in a chair, “If you’d just be honest with me, I’d tell you something about Prince of Yu.”
“What news can you have about him?”
“I just left the Court of Judicial Review; one of my fellow apprentices works there. If I wanted to see him, it wouldn’t be impossible.”/p>
“Did you see him?”
“If you would just satisfy my curiosity, I might help you see him.”/p>
Jiang Ning said, “I don’t need your help. Dad said he could get him out soon.” /P>
“Why don’t you just answer my question? Have you ever liked He Tang?”
“No.”
“Really?” Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow, “But, there’s still a token of affection you gave He Tang.”/p>
Jiang Ning was taken aback, “Nonsense.”
“I saw it with my own eyes – how could it be untrue? Such a beautiful purse, yet you’ve never gifted any embroidered item to your Third Brother.”/p>
“I don’t even know how to embroider…”/p>
As Jiang Ning spoke, she suddenly realized the truth.
It wasn’t that she had gifted the purse.
But it was highly likely that the original owner had..
