Chapter 116 The Salted Fish Princess Will Not Be Cannon Fodder (27)
If Jiang comes, he will ask him.
"Dad, the rumors outside can't be true. You only have money to buy these things for me by accepting bribes from officials."
Jiang Lai picked up a string of extremely bright coral necklaces and stroked them. They were cold and smooth, making people happy just to look at them.
Jiang Xiong snorted dissatisfiedly.
"Why don't you even believe in your father? These are all the treasures captured when the cavalry broke through the gates of other countries. Your Majesty rewarded me for my merits and asked me to choose some and bring them back. I know that you like these jade things, so I kept them for you. You brought it back.”
Jiang Lai smiled at him and stretched out his hand to tug on his beard.
"My beard has turned white. Why don't I stop being a general and take my mother to a nice place for sightseeing? Why should I continue to suffer at the border?"
As the saying goes, a tiger's beard cannot be pulled out. Jiang Xiong is much more ferocious than a tiger, but in front of Jiang Lai, he has no temper at all, and all the anger and stubbornness he had before have dissipated.
"You girl, if your father doesn't protect your family and country, who will? Who will protect so many children like you in the world?"
"I'm afraid you won't be able to come back if you leave."
"Don't think nonsense, no one dares to touch your father yet, and you are a married woman, so don't play around with A Ling like a child. That kid is as strong as an ox and his hands are not accurate. He will be injured." What should I do with you?”
When they were young, Jiang Xiong was worried that Jiang Lai would be bullied, so they were never allowed to play together.
"One time he threw a stone across the river and hit you on the head. How can you forget it after so much blood was shed?"
Jiang Lai thought for a moment, then shook his head.
I really forgot.
Jiang Xiong reached out and pushed aside Jiang Lai's hair to reveal his forehead, and looked at the scars on it.
"Don't play around with him in the future, just remember this."
"Oh, I got it, Dad."
As soon as Jiang Xiong walked away with his front legs, a tall figure appeared at the door of his back legs.
Looking up, it turned out to be Jiang Ling.
Didn't he hear everything he said just now?
No, didn't Qin Feng say it would take a few days for him to return to Beijing? Why did he arrive today?
Jiang Lai huddled on the sofa, covered with a soft rabbit blanket, and watched Jiang Ling stride over.
"Didn't you escort the princess to get married? Why did you come back early?"
"After seeing off the princess, I rode back early."
Jiang Lai saw that his body seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and his eyes were a little gray and dim, obviously tired.
I'm so anxious to come back.
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
"My heart hurts. I'm afraid it's a recurrence of the injury I suffered when I fell down the mountain last time. It's been tortured day and night. Please help me rub it again."
Jiang Lai looked at him and asked.
"You want me to rub it for you?"
"Yeah."
Jiang Ling began to take off his outer robe, his strong body wrapped in black clothes.
"I should be sicker than you right now."
Jiang Ling looked into her eyes and suddenly leaned down.
A huge shadow hit her face, which was full of oppression. Before Jiang Lai could say anything, a dry and warm hand directly lifted the bangs on her forehead, staring at the scar hidden under her bangs.
He frowned, thinking carefully about something.
"What are you looking at? You smashed it."
"I forgot."
I was beaten so many times by Jiang Xiong when I was a child that I don't even remember the reason why I was beaten every time.
Jiang Lai shook his head and broke away from his hand, frowned and arranged his hair.
"It's been so long. If you don't remember, you can't remember. Jiang Ling, what are you going to do? If you feel really uncomfortable, I'll rub it for you. If you have nothing to do, just leave. Don't disturb my rest."
"This is for you."
As he spoke, Jiang Ling took out another box from his pocket and gave it to Jiang Lai. When he opened it, he found a necklace made of huge pearls, which was extremely heavy.
"How much is your salary? Give me these."
"The salary is more than your husband-in-law, so keep it. Anyway, I don't have a woman, so you can keep it for me first."
Jiang Lai touched the big string of pearls happily. Seeing that Jiang Ling still didn't leave, he sighed, moved his buttocks and patted the empty space next to him.
"Lie down and let me rub you."
Jiang Ling lay down calmly and took off his upper body clothes to reveal his scarred chest.
"Hey...how did you get hurt?"
Jiang Lai looked at the red marks on his heart and asked knowingly.
Jiang Ling glanced at her.
"You have a really bad memory."
"Huh?"
"It's okay, keep going. And next time you pretend to be sick, don't make your face so white. No one who has been dead for seven days is as white as you."
"..."
Jiang Lai's gentle technique instantly turned into a life-threatening palm. Jiang Ling almost couldn't breathe when his fingertips were pressed with pain. His face turned red from the pain and his thick eyebrows were furrowed.
"Jiang Lai!"
"I did it on purpose."
"I kindly remind you that you won't get any benefits yet. Tell me why you are pretending to be sick."
So many people have been kept secret, only Jiang Ling, this kid seems to have piercing eyes, keen and alert.
"I seem to find something wrong with my husband."
"Huh? Let's hear it."
Jiang Lai frowned in distress while massaging him.
"He doesn't seem to like me, he likes someone else."
"Well, so you're just pretending to be sick?"
Jiang Lai shook his head.
"It's not all because of this. I miss home and want to come back to accompany my parents. How can my married daughter live at home permanently? After thinking about it, this is the only way I can do it. I can also stay away from Murong Dun to avoid seeing him. He was sad.”
Jiang Ling only found it funny.
"I thought you were a white-eyed wolf who forgot about your parents after you got married."
"There are no white-eyed wolves in our Jiang family!"
For a moment, Jiang Ling didn't dare to look into her eyes.
White-eyed wolf......
She is indeed not a white-eyed wolf.
Neither is he.
He just wanted to take revenge. Blood debt was the right thing to do. Jiang Xiong massacred his whole family. Now he only wanted his life, so that's not too much.
Not excessive.
Jiang Ling made a decision in her heart.
——
Jiang Lai has almost changed out of his jewelry, and the ones he is wearing now are all gifts from Jiang Ling.
In Jiang Ling's study, a secret guard came to report.
"After searching, there is nothing wrong with what the lady is wearing."
"Have you checked everything carefully?"
"After checking carefully, the tiger talisman is not on the lady's jewelry, nor is it in the room. Major General, is it possible that the tiger talisman is not in the lady's place at all?"
Jiang Ling shook his head.
"It's definitely on her."
He knew Jiang Xiong so well that any good thing would be given to Jiang Lai as soon as possible. If it was not available in the study room where he usually guarded the most closely, it would definitely be with Jiang Lai.
Since the detachable is not safe, it may be in a place where it is less likely to be lost and found.
"Major General, do you want to continue looking?"
"No, step back."
Originally, he wanted to use Murong Dun's hand to find the tiger talisman, but now Murong Dun can no longer use it, and he has to do this kind of thing himself.
——
On the fourth day after Jiang returned to her parents' home, Murong Dun followed her.
Others would sigh when they saw her. The prince and princess had deep feelings for each other, and they came after them after only a few days apart. (End of chapter)
