Fast Travel: I Rely on Crazy Literature Raiders

"The reason why I am still staying in Yujing is, firstly, to manage the shops in the capital, and secondly, to wait for the Queen Mother. I want to go to Nanyu City with you."

"After all, I am returning to Nanyu City with a lot of valuable dowry, and I also want to ask the Queen Mother for protection."

Jiang Xu looked at the Queen Mother and said, "I hope you will agree."

The Queen Mother laughed out loud after hearing this, "You are quite good at planning."

"Okay, I'll grant you your consent today. When you leave Beijing, just take your dowry with you. I'll see who dares to take your dowry."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xu thanked the Queen Mother.

Queen Mother: "Speaking of returning to Nanyu City, there is one more thing I need to ask you."

Jiang Xu: "Just ask, Queen Mother."

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother coughed lightly and said, "Um, did you ask your second brother about the yellow spiritual fruit you brought to the sacred mountain before?"

Originally, the Queen Mother didn’t have much obsession with the fruit.

However, Jiang Xu gave her some, and after she ate it, she was shocked.

It would be fine if I didn’t eat it. After eating it, I couldn’t stop thinking about the taste. I always wanted to eat it again. Every time I thought about it, I felt like a cat was scratching my heart.

Jiang Xu nodded gently towards the Queen Mother, "I have already written him a letter, but I am afraid I won't receive a reply from him. I told him that I will be going to Nanyu City soon, so I have to return to Nanyu City to get an answer."

After hearing this, the Queen Mother said several good words repeatedly, and she felt more excited about the trip from Nanyucheng.

"Empress Dowager, the wife of Ningyuan Marquis is here."

Jiang Xu and the Queen Mother had just finished talking about the Huang Ling Fruit when a palace maid came to report that Ruan Jingjing had arrived.

The Queen Mother immediately let Ruan in.

After seeing Ruan, the Queen Mother immediately gave her a seat.

The Queen Mother suddenly summoned Ruan, and she was nervous all the way. However, when she saw Jiang Xu was also there, Ruan seemed to see her courage and felt a little relieved.

After Ruan sat down, the Queen Mother looked at her and asked, "Do you remember what we said before about going to Nanyu City together?"

Ruan nodded repeatedly. The Queen Mother said: "I summoned you today to ask if you still want to go with me."

When Ruan heard this, there was a hint of hesitation in her eyes.

She wanted to go in her heart, but the Marquis' Mansion is different now than before. Although she has no ability to manage things, she can still help her mother-in-law.

If she left...

"But now I don't want to ask you anymore. You have to go, I said so."

Ruan: “…”

Ruan was stunned.

This is... just deciding for her directly?
Ever since they met on the sacred mountain that day, the empress dowager had never called herself "Ai Jia" in front of the two of them. But at this moment, she did so.

Once she said this, it meant that Ruan had to go whether she wanted to or not.

Although it sounded compulsory, Ruan didn't feel forced at all. On the contrary, she was very happy.

She was used to having no opinion of her own, but now there was someone who gave her orders directly without allowing her to resist, so she didn't have to worry about it anymore.

So, after Ruan came back to her senses, she immediately stood up and saluted the Queen Mother, "Your Highness will obey the Queen Mother's order."

Seeing this, the Queen Mother waved her hand and asked her to sit down.

Afterwards, the Queen Mother told the two the specific time of departure and chatted with them about other things before letting them leave.

The news that Ruan and Jiang Xu entered the palace spread quickly.

After Luo Yan received the news, her face was gloomy. "The Queen Mother summoned Jiang Xu? Do you know why?"

The female guard who came to deliver the news shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.

Seeing this, Luo Yan's brows were almost furrowed into a mountain. (End of this chapter)
