Chapter 111 "If you weren't a bandit, your sister-in-law might not even like you!"
Chapter 111 "If you weren't a bandit, your sister-in-law might not even like you!"
Zhu Jiuxing was scared away by Jiang Ci'an's raised fist.
Looking back, Shen Changle and others had already left the house.
Sun Ran followed behind her.
He nodded and wiped the sweat from his forehead, saying words of thanks:
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your support and for saving my son's life. I have no way of repaying you, and I am willing to serve you at my utmost."
Shen Changle glanced at him and said:
"You don't need to do anything for me. Just do your duty, be loyal to your duties, serve the people, and avoid close contact with the state government."
Sun Ran was stunned for a moment.
Then he nodded in agreement with great discernment.
"Your Highness, I will keep this in mind."
Jiang Ci'an went up to them, helped Shen Changle out, and replied to the villagers.
"Everyone, please go back. Xiulian is fine now. The government will help you resolve the matter of the bandit Bull Head Gang as soon as possible."
After everyone heard this, they felt relieved.
"It's okay, it's okay..."
"Yes, now Mother Xiulian should be relieved!"
"Is Your Highness going back?"
A brave villager stood on tiptoe, looked around and asked:
"We have already cleaned up the courtyard for Your Highness. Why don't you stay here for one night?"
Shen Changle smiled with relief.
"No, Yiqian has to go to school tomorrow, so it would be inconvenient for him to stay in the village."
Only then did everyone kneel down under the leadership of the village head.
"In that case, I respectfully send Her Royal Highness off."
"Farewell, Her Royal Highness—"
When Sun Ran saw Zhu Jiuxing had harnessed the carriage, he offered to escort him as a gesture of loyalty.
"I also want to return to the city. Please allow me to escort you, Your Highness."
Seeing how enthusiastic he was, Shen Changle did not refuse.
"Then it'll be hard work."
"Thank you for your permission, Your Highness!"
After receiving approval, Sun Ran excitedly winked at the yamen soldiers as if he had received a reward.
The yamen soldiers received the order and formed two teams.
Escorting the carriage in front and behind respectively.
The villagers behind him did not return home until the soldiers and carriages had completely disappeared and there was no trace of them left.
In the carriage, Jiang Ci'an held Shen Changle in his arms and watched her drowsy as she leaned on his shoulder.
Discuss with him quietly:
"Changle, have you ever thought about... leaving Yuanyang?"
"Leaving Yuanyang?"
Shen Changle was extremely sleepy and forced himself to keep his head and eyes open.
"Why do you suddenly want to leave?"
"I just feel that the situation here is a bit chaotic."
"In times of war, everything is the same... What's more, Wang Xiaocai has just met all his classmates. If he changes his study room now, he will have to start all over again..."
The cold wind seeped in through the car window, and she snuggled into Jiang Ci'an's arms.
He spoke lazily:
"Let's wait until we finish this year. The rent for the mansion is due soon, so we can move somewhere closer to the capital."
Jiang Ci'an rubbed her hair.
He tilted his head and kissed her, then responded softly.
"it is good."
She gathered her cloak and patted it with her hands.
"Go to sleep."
When the carriage entered Yuanyang City, Shen Changle and the two children were fast asleep.
Jiang Ci'an, Bai Zhi and Xuan Que each carried one child back into the house.
Zhu Jiuxing went to unload the cart, tie up the horses, feed and water them...
After finishing everything, it’s almost midnight!
He was too lazy to take off his clothes and just fell into bed, snoring loudly.
It feels like the day is already dawning before I even wake up...
I had to drag my sore arms out of bed again.
While helping Jiang Ci'an chop firewood, he complained:
"Ah, it's still more comfortable in the village. Moving goods is too tiring. This is not a job for humans..."
Jiang Ci'an glanced at him and snorted coldly.
"So many people can do it, but you can't?"
Seeing that he was drooping his head listlessly, he tried to persuade him kindly:
"Moving goods is tiring, but it's safe. Fighting and killing all day long in the mountain stronghold is not a long-term solution."
"Why isn't this a long-term solution?"
"You don't want to get married? What good girl would want to be with a bandit?
Even if a girl is willing, will her family agree? Marrying a bandit, how can you say that?
Zhu Jiuxing handed over a piece of wood and muttered softly.
"I was wondering why you weren't living in the palace! It turns out you were driven out because you were disliked as a bandit..."
Jiang Ci'an felt so hurt that his eyes twitched and he wanted to chop him with the axe.
"Are you getting tight again?"
Zhu Jiuxing was so scared that he dropped the wood and ran away.
"What's the big deal? As long as my sister-in-law doesn't despise you, that's all that matters! In my opinion... if you weren't a bandit, my sister-in-law might not even look at you!"
"It's full of nonsense!"
Jiang Ci'an raised the axe at him again, scaring Zhu Jiuxing so much that he turned around and ran away.
After Shen Changle finished dressing up, she went out and saw the two men quarreling again.
Cover your lips and chuckle.
"You are always so fierce. If you have a son in the future, you will definitely be a strict father."
Jiang Ci'an glared at Zhu Jiuxing who was hiding behind Shen Changle and laughing secretly.
Pick up the wood he dropped and place it on the stake.
The tips of his thick eyebrows were slightly raised.
"Then give birth to a daughter, as delicate and lovely as Changle, and I will be happy every day."
Then he raised the axe and broke the wood into four pieces neatly.
Seeing that he had finished chopping the rice, Shen Changle smiled and invited him into the house to eat:
"Okay, son or daughter, what we say doesn't count... Come in and eat quickly."
Hearing this, Jiang Ci'an chopped the axe into the wooden stake.
The firewood was stacked neatly, and he took two quick steps to catch up with Shen Changle.
Blame softly.
"It's getting cold, wear more clothes when you go out."
"Well, it's okay..."
After dinner, Jiang Ci'an and Zhu Jiuxing sent Wang Xiao to the study as usual, and then went to work.
Although Zhu Jiuxing complained, he had no choice but to obey under the pressure of Jiang Ci'an.
He works very hard.
While waiting for the goods, Zhu Jiuxing gulped down cold water.
He slumped down on the bench.
Jiang Ci'an was still reading a book.
The foreman passed by and saw Jiang Ci'an studying seriously. He spat in disdain:
"Pah! A green onion stuck in a pig's nose—how pretentious!
Don't you even consider whether you are the right material for this? You are still trying to imitate others in reading..."
As he said this, he deliberately bumped into Jiang Ci'an's hand and knocked the book over in his hand.
Jiang Ci'an raised his eyelids indifferently and looked at the foreman in front of him expressionlessly.
To make him angry:
"What are you looking at? What's wrong? Are you dissatisfied?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Jiuxing, who had been slumped on the stool, stood up suddenly.
He glared at the foreman.
His fist, as big as a casserole pot, was clenched tightly.
The foreman turned to him again, looked up into his eyes and threatened:
"What do you want to do now? Still want to stand up for him? Don't you want to do this anymore?"
"Who the hell are you talking to? Say something about my second brother again, okay?"
"What's wrong with him? He's a complete loser!"
Zhu Jiuxing was about to step forward with his fist raised.
All the workers held their breath.
Some of them were there to watch the fun, while others were nervously trying to step forward and mediate.
But Jiang Ci'an, who was always indifferent, slowly stood up and held Zhu Jiuxing's shoulders.
Zhu Jiuxing was so angry that he gasped:
"Second brother, how dare he say that to you? I think he's tired of living!"
