Chapter 105 Jealousy
Jiang Xing grabbed Shen Yuanci and brought him to Lu Yuehe. "What do you think, Master Shen? Sister Yuehe is more than enough for you, right?"
Shen Yuanci smiled awkwardly: "Miss Lu has a temperament like an orchid and talent like a fairy. She is definitely a very good person..."
Lu Yuehe's expression froze, and she glared at Jiang Xing: "What are you doing, cousin?"
Jiang Xing smiled uninhibitedly: "Master Shen is ambitious, and now he just needs someone to start a family. Sister Yuehe is not young anymore, and I think you two are a perfect match!"
Lu Yuehe glared at him angrily, "Why are you dragging me into your quarrels? How can you be so disrespectful and use others as a tool to vent your anger!"
Seeing Yue He storm off, Lu Xuan hurried forward to hold her back, "Don't argue with him. I don't know why he suddenly went crazy!"
When Lu Yuehe saw Lu Xuan following her, her expression softened slightly: "Your Highness is truly rude!"
Shen Yuanci, who was standing here, didn't want to annoy Jiang Xing and cause any trouble. He also vaguely sensed something, so he bowed and said, "I have official business to attend to, so I won't bother Your Highness any more!"
After saying that, he turned around and went to find Lu Xuan.
But he didn't expect Jiang Xing to follow him again, staring at him with a pair of fierce eyes.
Shen Yuanci was helpless and reluctantly said goodbye to Lu Xuan: "A Xuan, you have a lot of things to do today, I won't keep you here any longer, we can talk again another day."
Lu Xuan didn't want to cause any trouble today, so he smiled and sent Shen Yuanci away.
As soon as Shen Yuanci left, Lu Xuan's smile instantly cooled. She walked up to Jiang Xing and said, "They just gave me a gift, what are you doing? Why are you taking it out on Shen Yuanci and Yue He?!"
Jiang Xing lazily sat down on the armchair. Although he looked unruly, everyone could sense the anger in him.
He raised an eyebrow at Lu Xuan, who was questioning him. "Sister Yue He is already seventeen years old. She likes to write poetry and songs or manage the family affairs every day. Shen Yuanci is also interested in these things. I think they are a perfect match!"
Lu Xuan sat down next to him angrily, "I think you're just looking for trouble!"
Lu Yuehe was furious: "My matchmaking was decided by my parents and the matchmaker, and besides, I have to be willing to do it myself! You pushed me to Shen Yuanci to vent your own dissatisfaction. Cousin, you're really too jealous today!"
"Am I jealous?"
Seeing that Lu Yuehe seemed genuinely angry, Jiang Xing didn't want to cause any more trouble, so his expression changed and he looked at her with a smile: "You don't have any feelings for Shen Yuanci?"
Lu Yuehe turned her face away without saying anything.
Jiang Xing pressed on: "No intention? Why were you blushing when I first told Shen Yuanci about it?"
"I'm blushing because you're teasing me, isn't that okay?"
Lu Xuan stopped the two from arguing, "Alright, it's my fault that the prince misunderstood me! I already agreed to this before, so there's no point in testing him again!"
Jiang Xing is such an old fox!
He deliberately dragged Yue He into this, hinting to her that Yue He liked Shen Yuanci, so that she would give up some of the ideas!
In fact, she didn't know what was going on, but she really hadn't thought about her future with Shen Yuanci for a long time!
Hearing Lu Xuan's words, Jiang Xing felt a sense of loss inexplicably. He glanced at the people around him who were still celebrating with smiles, and not wanting to spoil the fun, he went out.
In fact, he felt a little relieved after Shen Yuanci left.
But for some reason, whenever he saw the princess talking to Shen Yuanci, he would get angry, and very angry!
Lu Xuan stayed to comfort Yue He for a long time. After a long while, Lu Yue He said quietly, "Sister, go see the prince! If you have anything to say, it's better to talk it out, otherwise he won't use me as a pretext next time!"
In the evening, the guests of the Duke's Mansion dispersed in groups of three or four.
Because they took the same carriage when they came in the morning, they had to take the same carriage back this time. Only then did Lu Xuan see Jiang Xing again.
During the day, she didn't want to explain the matter to him again and again, so she didn't go to see him.
Now that they met, both of them didn't want to talk.
Jiang Xing returned to his usual smile, but that smile was filled with worry.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Xing finally spoke first: "A Xuan."
A Xuan?
Hearing the name so affectionately uttered from his lips again, her heart skipped a beat for no reason.
Could this person be saying or doing something to embarrass her?
She just wanted to get the job done and leave without offending anyone. Could it be that Jiang Xing had some plans for her?
Just when her heart was beating in her throat, afraid that he would suddenly say something cheesy, she heard him say in a low voice: "I was impulsive today!"
Lu Xuan blinked twice.
What does it mean?
Apologize to yourself?
Jiang Xing continued, "I overstepped my bounds in our relationship. I shouldn't have thought too deeply about it!"
He sighed and sat down next to her: "Don't think too much about it."
Lu Xuan felt as if something stung his heart for no apparent reason.
A trace of melancholy flashed through my heart.
Sad?
Then she felt something was wrong. What was she expecting?
She shook her head vigorously: "It's not that I'm angry. It's not me that the prince offended. I just need to explain it to Master Shen and Yue He!"
Hearing her say this, Jiang Xing finally relaxed a little: "They will resolve it on their own. As long as the princess is fine!"
But there is still a bitter feeling in my heart.
In fact, up to now, he doesn't even have the qualifications to be jealous!
He was being so reckless on purpose today, just to keep her eyes on him.
He already felt that she belonged to him, and he couldn't bear the thought that she would leave one day!
So, he won't let this happen!
Ji Bozhou was sitting in an attic diagonally opposite the Duke's Mansion, and just happened to see Jiang Xing lifting Lu Xuan's skirt as she got on the carriage.
He drank another glass of wine.
Why is this the result?
If he had known earlier that Yuanyuan was of such a noble status, he would have kept her by his side even if he died!
She is a true noble lady, on par with the Ji family!
How well he and she are matched!
In fact, if he had known her background earlier, he would have made their engagement public since childhood!
He will let everyone in the capital know that his fiancée, Ji Bozhou, is the daughter of General Shenwu!
He closed his eyes, his heart aching.
But... there's no turning back.
He actually went to deliver a gift today, but it was only the servants who accepted it, and she didn't even look up at him!
She has changed...
Tears dripped into the wine glass, and Ji Bozhou felt that every time he saw Yuanyuan, his heart was bleeding.
She was like a sharp ice blade, easily piercing his heart every time!
He dreamed every night that he had failed her...
Meanwhile, inside the four-story mansion in Xianyifang, the owner's eyes were red, and his face was filled with madness: "She's actually still alive! There's actually such a person in the world!"
"She is Yun Xun's daughter! She is the daughter of Yun Xun and Lu Lingchuan! Yun Xun actually has another child in the world..."
He cried and laughed, scaring the shadow of his close follower in front of him.
He raged in the study for a while, and after a long while, he looked up to the sky and sighed.
"No wonder! No wonder Yun Xun never showed up again, and never contacted me again. It was all because of her..."
He looked at his attendant in front of him and said, "Shadow, go check and see if Lu Xuan has had any contact with anyone from the Shenji Sect!"
"Yes!"
The man's gaze drifted into the distance.
She is Yun Xun's child, so even though she has been raised in the uncle's mansion, it is very likely that she also has the blood of the descendants of the Shenji Sect. She has already reached the age of marriage, and if she is the heir of the sect, she must have already opened up her talent!
But she had never been taught the mystical arts since she was a child, so unless she was destined to be one, her skills would be of little use...
He pondered for a long time, then called out to the door, "Wubai!"
Another henchman suddenly entered.
"The one who married into the Ji family before was said to be the real daughter of the Song family. Was she the one who was mistakenly taken away and exchanged lives with Lu Xuan?"
Wu Bai clasped his fists and said, "Yes! That person's name is Song Chuchu, and she is now the wife of the Ji family's heir!"
"Madam!" The man laughed sarcastically. "On the day of the wedding, it was the message from Prince Jin's Mansion that a wedding was also happening at the Marquis' Mansion, so everyone went there! There wasn't even a wedding banquet. I'm afraid that old man Ji Xiangli is not happy with this marriage!"
"And it's said that his previously chosen wife for the Crown Prince was Song Wu, now known as Lu Xuan! He missed out on such a great talent and ended up with an epileptic woman instead. I bet that woman's life in the Ji family wasn't easy, was it?!"
He threw a bag of silver to Wu Bai and said, "Go and bring that woman out of the Ji family. I want to meet her and get to know Lu Xuan better!"
