son, don't mess around

Chapter 755

Jiang Mansion, in the small courtyard on the other side.

The sun is shining, the courtyard is lush and leafy, the breeze blows the branches, and occasionally a few leaves fall onto the bluestone road in the courtyard.

Under the eaves, there sat a figure with a cool temperament.

He stared blankly at the courtyard, not knowing what he was thinking. Occasionally he looked out of the courtyard with an uncertain look in his eyes.

Until she heard footsteps nearby, she turned around and met a playful face.

"You're recovering well?"

A teasing voice sounded, and Lin Jiangnian stepped closer, looking at her with interest: "I thought you would have to lie down for a few months, but I didn't expect you to be able to move so soon?"

Xu Chaoge glanced at him: "Why? You want me to lie down longer?"

"Of course I don't want that."

Lin Jiangnian shook his head: "The longer you lie down, the more this prince will lose."

As he spoke, Lin Jiangnian stopped at the fence in front of her, sat casually beside the fence, and looked at the Princess Xu Wang in front of him.

She saved her life!

With the help of the doctor from Jiang Mansion and the medicine brought by Lin Jiangnian from Ruyi Tower, she recovered quickly. Previously, she was too weak to move, but after just a few days, she was able to get out of bed.

Although she still looked weak and pale, she was much better than before.

At the moment, her skin was delicate and fair, with an indescribable soft beauty. This soft and weak appearance formed a very strong contrast with her previous strength, making people unable to resist the urge to ravage her.

She was wearing a long white gauze dress, a simple outfit that made her temperament look even more elegant and refined.

She is worthy of being a princess!

The blessings brought by the environment and identity in which one grows up are difficult for ordinary people to compare with.

When Lin Jiangnian looked at her, she also looked at Lin Jiangnian. Her eyes were bright and full of smiles, and she looked at him openly without any hesitation.

"Your Highness, are you so anxious?"

"There's no need to hurry."

Lin Jiangnian sighed: "Aren't you afraid that people will run away?"

"Your Highness, do you have so little confidence in yourself?"

"I can't help it. I'm afraid of being cheated."

Hearing this, Xu Chaoge suddenly fell silent, and then said softly: "I won't run away."

Lin Jiangnian was a little uncomfortable with the sudden serious words. He glanced at her and suddenly asked, "You, know everything?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the smile on Xu Chaoge's face gradually disappeared.

Lin Jiangnian didn't say what it was, but she understood it immediately.

After a while, he nodded.

A bitter smile appeared on that gentle and beautiful face: "It has spread all over the outside world, how could I not know?"

"How do you feel now?"

Lin Jiangnian was very interested: "Overnight, she suddenly went from being a high-ranking princess to a traitor... Is there anything you want to say?"

"I don't have any thoughts."

Xu Chaoge's eyes were dazed, with a myriad of emotions in his heart.

But I don’t know how to describe it.

My father has rebelled!
This was something she had anticipated long ago. The Xu family had even made decades of preparations for this day. After several generations of hard work and perseverance, this day finally came.

Since she was very young, her father had instilled this idea in her... This country was originally supposed to belong to their Xu family. And over the years, she has been working hard for this goal. She has been running around to come up with ideas for her father's plan.

Now, my father has finally raised his army!
The news has reached Chujiang City. A great victory was won on the front line. Several cities in Xuzhou fell in just a few days and were all taken over by my father.

She was not surprised by this.

My father had been planning for many years in Xuzhou and had already taken Xuzhou under his command. Throughout Xuzhou, my father's spies and trusted aides were stationed everywhere.

However, when this day finally arrived, Xu Chaoge was not as happy as he had imagined.

There wasn't even much emotion in my heart.

Shouldn't she be happy?

After so long of preparation, my father's raising of an army means that all his preparations have finally been completed. Once successful, the Xu family will become the most honorable existence in the world.

And she, the Princess of Prince Xu, will also be successfully upgraded to a princess.

Why are you unhappy?
Xu Chaoge looked dazed. He raised his eyes, glanced at Lin Jiangnian, and suddenly said, "My father has rebelled. Aren't you also very happy?"

Lin Jiangnian asked back: "Why am I so happy?"

Xu Chaoge said calmly: "I am no longer a princess, but a rebel now... If you capture me and send me to the court, your Lin family will be a great hero."

She was right. The Xu family was plotting a rebellion. Now that the Princess Xu was in Lin Jiangnian's hands, she could indeed play a significant role. If she was sent to the court, it would surely inspire the court army and greatly undermine the morale of the Xu army... Just after the rebellion, her own princess was arrested.

One can imagine the blow this was to Xu Wangjun.

“It’s not worth it.”

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her and shook his head: "Sending you to the court will do me no good."

"It would be more cost-effective to keep you as a maid for this prince to sleep with."

Xu Chaoge did not comment, raised his eyes to look at him, and said calmly: "But there will be many people who want me to die."

"so what?"

Lin Jiangnian didn't take it to heart: "If this prince doesn't let you die, no one can kill you!"

She survived this time after a narrow escape from death. Now, if Lin Jiangnian wants her to live, no one can touch her.

Xu Chaoge was silent for a while, then suddenly chuckled: "So, I am quite lucky?"

"That's natural."

Xu Chaoge didn't say anything else, and there was silence between the two for a moment.

They all seemed to have something to say, but none of them opened their mouths.

Xu Chaoge, who was standing under the eaves, suddenly stood up slowly. She moved very slowly. Although she could walk, her injuries were still serious. Just as she stood up, her body suddenly swayed and she could not stand steadily.

Lin Jiangnian reached out and hugged her.

Xu Chaoge's body swayed, and he leaned against Lin Jiangnian's arms, and finally managed to stand steady. When he raised his eyes, his beautiful eyes met Lin Jiangnian's.

Lin Jiangnian saw that gleam of light: "Did you do that on purpose?"

"Yes!"

Xu Chaoge nodded, a faint smile appeared on his pale face: "Don't you like it?"

"Woman, you are playing with fire!"

Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes, staring at the stunning face in front of him, and with a little force in his hands, he held her in his arms.

You can feel the smoothness of a woman's skin when you touch it, and the delicate touch under the gauze dress will make you love it.

Lin Jiangnian gently held her waist and leaned closer, but was suddenly blocked by Xu Chaoge's hand. She looked into Lin Jiangnian's eyes quietly and said softly, "Walk with me?"

"You've been in Jiang's house for so long, but you haven't taken a look around yet?"

Lin Jiangnian didn't have the leisure to do so: "Business is more important."

As he spoke, the hand around her waist slowly stroked up along her skin. Xu Chaoge's body tensed slightly, and she subconsciously grabbed his hand, her face flushed: "Don't be impatient..."

"It's urgent!"

"There's no point in being anxious."

Xu Chaoge frowned and chuckled, "I'm not well yet."

"It's okay, I can be gentler."

"..."

Hearing this, Xu Chaoge was silent for a moment. When he looked up at Lin Jiangnian again, he chuckled again: "If you really want it..."

"That's fine too."

Hearing this, Lin Jiangnian was a little surprised.

"You agreed so quickly?"

"Isn't that what you always wanted?"

Xu Chaoge said softly, with a half-smile: "If I refuse again, wouldn't it seem like I don't know what's good for me?"

"You have a point."

Lin Jiangnian nodded.

"So, do you want it now?"

She spoke softly.

"Forget it, I am not a beast."

Lin Jiangnian stared at her for a while, then shook his head and refused: "It's not that urgent, wait until you recover, then come and serve this prince well."

"You are like this now, and you still need me to serve you."

"No."

Hearing this, Xu Chaoge was stunned. She stared at Lin Jiangnian for a while, and suddenly chuckled: "Your Highness is really interesting." "When you didn't give in, Your Highness insisted. Now that you give in, Your Highness is unwilling again?"

"Doesn't this make me look like a gentleman?"

"Is your highness a gentleman?"

"Obviously, yes."

Xu Chaoge smiled as bright as a flower. His pale face took on a bit more color and he seemed to feel much better.

"Then, Your Highness, would you like to walk with me?"

"alright."

Lin Jiangnian thought about it and nodded: "Anyway, there's nothing else to do, so I'll just accompany you."

"Your Highness, can you let me go first?"

Xu Chaoge seemed to have noticed something and glanced down.

"No."

"How can we go for a walk like this?"

"Just go like this."

"It's not good if someone sees us..."

"It's okay. This prince is shameless."

"..."

Jiang Mansion, Houhu Lake.

Xu Chaoge strolled in the shade of the trees, feeling the hot summer air.

Time flies so fast!
Xu Chaoge sighed softly. She looked ahead and sighed softly, "I don't know how long it has been since I had a good rest like this."

In the past few years, she has been busy and working hard for her father's plan.

On the contrary, after this injury, she couldn't go anywhere. She had some free time and began to have time to think.

"The Jiang family is indeed the most prestigious family in Jiangnan. The structure of this mansion is no less than that of Prince Xu's Mansion. Unfortunately, Prince Xu's Mansion is located in Xuzhou in the north, and its scenery cannot be compared with that of the Jiang Mansion..."

At this point, Xu Chaoge suddenly stopped and looked back at Lin Jiangnian: "I heard that your Lin Wang Mansion is the best mansion in the world? When Lord Lin built the Lin Wang Mansion, he moved mountains and rivers into the mansion. It was really a big deal. It is said that it is almost comparable to the imperial palace in Beijing?"

Lin Jiangnian shook his head and denied it: "That's not the case."

Xu Chaoge raised his eyebrows: "But why did I hear that someone in the imperial court in the capital has been impeaching your Lin Wang Mansion?"

Lin Jiangnian sighed, "What they said about our Lin Wang Mansion being comparable to the imperial palace in Beijing is just a rumor spread maliciously by someone with ulterior motives. It's all nonsense."

"is it?"

"Yes."

Lin Jiangnian nodded: "Strictly speaking, the Imperial Palace is actually not as good as the Linwang Mansion."

Xu Chaoge was stunned for a moment, then smiled softly, "If there is a chance, I really have to go and see it."

"You must have it." Lin Jiangnian glanced at her.

"I also hope that."

Xu Chaoge spoke softly and nothing else.

There was silence between the two again.

"Don't you want to ask more questions?"

After a while, Xu Chaoge spoke again.

Lin Jiangnian looked at her: "What do you want to say?"

Xu Chaoge paused slightly, and when Lin Jiangnian caught up with her, she lowered her eyes slightly: "You know?"

Lin Jiang smiled: "I guessed it."

"You are indeed very smart."

Xu Chaoge sighed softly.

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her and said, "You're almost writing it on your face."

Xu Chaoge suddenly laughed. She laughed very happily. Her face was bare as she looked up at him: "The man I like really didn't disappoint me."

Lin Jiangnian frowned: "Why do I look like a gigolo?"

"What is a gigolo?"

"He is just a handsome boy who has no talent, relies on his looks to make a living, and is supported by women."

Xu Chaoge stared at him, smiling: "Don't you look like him?"

"They look alike, but I have always relied on my own abilities to make a living."

Xu Chaoge was still smiling happily, and she looked at Lin Jiangnian in front of her with some unscrupulousness.

"Tell me, if I had known you earlier, would the situation be completely different?"

"What's the difference?"

"Have."

Xu Chaoge nodded. She looked at Lin Jiangnian and said softly, "If I had met you earlier, I would never have let those women get close to you... You can only be mine."

"Then you better not know me."

Lin Jiangnian sneered.

Is she being possessive?
"Don't you wish?"

"nonsense."

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her and said, "I am so bored that I want to play pure love with you?"

"Pure love?"

Xu Chaoge seemed to understand, and said in a gloomy tone: "Is pure love not good?"

"Pure love is good, of course."

Lin Jiangnian nodded. Pure love is of course good. Otherwise, how could he have so much pure love?

Xu Chaoge naturally knew that her idea was too naive. The guy in front of her was destined not to belong to her alone.

Even now, he doesn't belong to himself.

Xu Chaoge slowly retracted her gaze, then raised her eyes and looked forward. The smile on her face gradually faded, and then she said softly: "I have to go back."

Hearing this, Lin Jiangnian looked at her and said nothing.

It's not surprising.

"What are you doing back?"

"Go verify that matter and ask my father for clarification."

"What if it's true?" Lin Jiangnian asked.

Xu Chaoge was silent, his eyes slightly lowered, and his mood suddenly became a little depressed: "I don't know."

She wanted to go to her father to ask for clarification, but she didn't know what would happen after that and had no answer.

But, she had to go back.

If this matter is not answered, it will become a knot in her heart.

"Whether it's true or not, we have to get to the bottom of it."

Xu Chaoge took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "If it's a fake peace, if it's real..."

Having said this, Xu Chaoge fell silent again.
