Chapter 171 Chu Jingyue Expresses Her Feelings
"Just in case." Jiang Suining replied, "Although I have made some preparations and the driver is a specially selected expert, there is always a chance of something happening. If the man escapes, at least I have this and the Night Pearl as a backup."
"That makes sense! Miss Jiang is so thoughtful and careful. I admire her!" Mother Shen said with admiration in her eyes.
"Mrs. Shen, you are too kind. Sui Ning was just forced to do this to protect himself." Jiang Sui Ning smiled, paused for a moment, and then continued, "I wonder if Mrs. Shen has anything else to say?"
"That's all. I won't bother Miss Jiang any more. Please go slowly."
Jiang Suining bowed and said, "Suining, goodbye."
Jiang Suining and Chu Jingyue got on the same carriage. Watching the carriage leave, Shen's mother had a look of satisfaction on her face.
Although she knew that her son had good taste, she didn't expect it to be so good. This Miss Jiang was really to her temperament!
Not only is he extremely intelligent, able to detect problems early and deal with them appropriately, but he is also very open-minded.
She has to go back now and tell the master what happened today!
Mother Shen hurriedly got on the carriage and left.
In the carriage on the other side, Chu Jingyue asked Jiang Suining.
"Why do you have to admit in front of Mrs. Shen that you did it on purpose?"
"Why don't you admit it?" Jiang Suining asked with a smile.
Chu Jingyue frowned, "You know she is Shen Yanxi's mother. Although I think you are having fun and enjoying it, and it couldn't be better, but what if she thinks you are over-scheming?"
Jiang Suining kept smiling, lowered his eyes slightly and said, "What does it have to do with me how Madam Shen sees me?"
"Sui Ning, please don't hide it from me. Shen Yanxi and you have had a lot of contact during this period. You have a lot of feelings for him..." Chu Jingyue's expression was somewhat nervous, and she asked in a low voice, "Don't you have any feelings for him at all?"
Jiang Suining leaned against the carriage and was silent for a while. "If I really say that I have no affection for him at all, that would be a lie. After all, he is indeed a very suitable candidate for a husband."
"Then why did you confess directly in front of Mother Shen?"
"Although I have a good impression, that's all. It's too early to consider these things now. What's more, what I just said is indeed what I did. If Mrs. Shen believes that I am a cunning and scheming person because of these, then I can't do anything about it." Jiang Suining smiled and shrugged his shoulders lightly.
"I think you are not helpless, but you just don't want to care." Chu Jingyue looked at Jiang Suining, "How come you care less about your marriage than I do. Also, I saw that Madam Qin seemed very satisfied with you before, but your actions today, although reasonable, may have prejudiced against you in her heart."
"I want to have prejudices." Jiang Suining curled her lips, "After all, it's the Marquis' Mansion, I can't afford to offend. This little prejudice won't make her resent me and retaliate against me, but she won't show any more goodwill. This is the best, after all, I don't want to marry into the Marquis' Mansion as a concubine and compete with Han Nian'an all day long."
"Concubine?" Chu Jingyue was a little surprised. "I thought Madam Qin wanted to make you her legal wife, but... whether it's a concubine or a legal wife, Zhou Yihong is not worthy of you. Suining, your future husband will definitely be a thousand times better than Zhou Yihong."
Noticing the confusion that flashed across Chu Jingyue's eyes, Jiang Suining smiled and said, "Are you still not going to tell me?"
"What?" Chu Jingyue was stunned.
"When you visited me at the Jiang family before, you seemed to be hesitant to speak. And just now, when you mentioned my marriage, you seemed a little nervous. What's going on?"
Jingyue was not a person who was good at hiding things, and she was always quick-tempered in front of him. She was really curious about what could have happened to make her so troubled.
"Sui Ning, I..." Chu Jingyue looked conflicted and hesitant.
"Hurry up and tell me, don't waste time." Jiang Suining urged with a smile, "No matter what it is, just tell me directly."
Chu Jingyue pursed her lips and lowered her head, "Sui Ning, I think I have fallen in love with someone."
"Really?" Jiang Suining's expression brightened. "Tell me quickly, who is it that our Princess Pinghu likes so much?"
"Yes, yes... It's the new top scholar Chu Changhe!" Chu Jingyue gritted her teeth and said. After she finished speaking, she saw Jiang Suining was stunned, and hurriedly said, "Suining, I know that Chu Changhe has a close relationship with you and your brother. If you two have already decided to get engaged, or you have a good impression of him, it's okay, just tell me directly, I will never compete with you for anything. I just hope you don't have a grudge against me because of this matter. I really treat you as a friend, I..."
Jiang Suining burst out laughing, "My silly princess, what are you thinking about!"
So Jingyue was hesitant to speak, stammering, because she misunderstood that there might be a love relationship between her and Chu Changhe?
"Chu Changhe and I are just friends. There is absolutely no romantic relationship between us, whether it's him or me."
"Really?" Chu Jingyue's eyes lit up. "Sui Ning, you didn't lie to me on purpose and try to trick me into giving in, did you?"
"When it comes to love, there's no need to give in. Everything I said is true. I was stunned just now because I didn't expect it was Chu Changhe." Jiang Suining's eyes were full of smiles.
The stone that had been hanging in Chu Jingyue's heart for the past few days suddenly fell to the ground.
"Sui Ning, that's great, you don't like Chu Changhe, that's really great!"
When she heard Sui Ning say with her own ears that she also had feelings for Shen Yanxi, she was relieved but still a little worried. Now she can finally put her mind at ease.
"Sui Ning, can you help me? Since you are so familiar with Chu Changhe, can you help me find out what kind of woman he likes? If..."
"It would be even better if I could help you match them up, right?" Jiang Suining took over Chu Jingyue's words.
Seeing the latter nod shyly, Jiang Suining agreed with a smile.
"Since the princess has spoken, I will naturally do as she says, but..."
"But what?" Chu Jingyue asked.
"But Jingyue, the Chu family is not a wealthy family, and his father was once convicted. I wonder if the prince and princess will be happy about this. And although Chu Changhe does look like someone who can be trusted, you still need to get to know him carefully and don't make a hasty decision."
"Okay, I get it. Don't worry. As for my parents, they never really valued family background. After what happened with Han Congze, they now only care about character."
Chu Jingyue held Jiang Suining's arm.
"Sui Ning, even though you and Chu Changhe have known each other longer than I have, you have to stand by my side."
"Of course I am on your side, otherwise I wouldn't have reminded you just now."
"Sui Ning, I knew you were the best!" Chu Jingyue smiled brightly.
As they were talking, suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves, followed by the sound of horses being reined in and exclamations.
"Shut up!"
The carriage shook violently and Chu Jingyue hit the wall.
"Jingyue!" Jiang Suining quickly supported the person. After making sure Chu Jingyue was not seriously injured, he lifted the car curtain and looked outside. "What happened?"
"Please forgive me, young lady. Just now this young master suddenly rode his horse towards me, and I had to turn the carriage around to avoid him." The driver frowned and looked at the person in the carriage next to him. "Young master, how can you ride a horse so freely on the streets of this imperial city?"
Jiang Suining turned his head and saw a young man with red lips and white teeth riding on horseback. He was wearing a crescent-colored men's suit and a hairpin in his hair. Although he was dressed like a man, he was clearly a woman.
