Don't talk nonsense, this is the Emperor's Banner

Chapter 277 Absorbing Yang Qi

"Okay, stop looking at it. This is the steak that Auntie ordered especially for you. Isn't it your favorite?"

Jiang Yingxue considerately cut the steak for Jiang Taozhi and placed it in front of her. Even Ruan Hongzhuang did not enjoy this treatment.

Jiang Taozhi glanced at the steak and said stubbornly, "I don't want to eat it."

But these words seemed unconvincing, because the two of them saw her swallowing her saliva while watching the steak.

Ruan Hongzhuang held her chin with a fork between her fingertips, and watched Jiang Taozhi and Jiang Yingxue quarreling in an elegant posture, without any intention of trying to persuade them.

"Why not? It tastes delicious."

Jiang Yingxue picked up a piece of steak with a fork and put it between her red lips gracefully.

Today she put on makeup, with fiery red lips and big waves, and her whole body was full of charm. When she was with Ruan Hongzhuang, they looked more like sisters.

"I don't know you, and I won't eat your food." Jiang Taozhi snorted.

"I've already told you that I'm your Aunt Jiang. How come you don't recognize me after just one day of not seeing me?" Jiang Yingxue said with a smile.

"How is it possible? You are so young. Aunt Jiang is much older than you." Jiang Taozhi didn't believe it.

"That's because I'm wearing makeup." Jiang Yingxue gently supported her chin.

"How is that possible? Do you think I'm stupid? You only put on lipstick and did your hair."

Jiang Taozhi could still tell whether she was wearing makeup or not.

"Then how can you believe that I am your Aunt Jiang? Do you want me to tell you that you had a stomachache once before and you were too late to come in the middle of the night..."

"Stop talking, I believe it. Isn't it enough that I believe it?" Jiang Taozhi pleaded in horror.

Ruan Hongzhuang raised her eyebrows and looked interested.

"Oh, there is a secret between you two that I don't know."

"No, don't listen to what aunt says."

Jiang Taozhi's attempt to hide something made Ruan Hongzhuang feel that they were hiding something from her.

But she didn't ask any further questions. Now that she knew about the secret, it would no longer be a secret. It was just a matter of time.

Jiang Yingxue smiled and continued, "In that case, just eat well and stop staring at me."

Jiang Taozhi immediately picked up the knife and fork upon hearing this, but still said unconvincedly: "Although I believe you are Aunt Jiang, you haven't told me why you have become so young in just one day."

"Because... I also absorbed the yang energy." Jiang Yingxue said mischievously.

"Mom~"

Ruan Hongzhuang seemed to have thought of something, her cheeks turned red, and she cried out in dissatisfaction.

"Okay, okay, I was just kidding." Jiang Yingxue said.

After lunch, Jiang Yingxue wiped the corners of her mouth with a tissue, then stood up and said, "Wait for me, I'm going to the bathroom."

After that she got up and went to the bathroom.

Seeing her leave, Jiang Taozhi immediately approached Ruan Hongzhuang and whispered, "Auntie, did you really absorb the Yang energy? Where did you absorb it? Can I also absorb a few breaths?"

Ruan Hongzhuang: ...

I really am——

Ruan Hongzhuang reached out and pinched her little face in annoyance.

"She just said that, and you believe it?"

"But she really looks a lot younger. I feel like I'm dreaming. If I didn't have the photo of Auntie on my phone, I would even think I might have a mental problem..."

"You will know later." Ruan Hongzhuang said.

"How long will it be?" Jiang Taozhi asked persistently.

"I will tell you when you reach my mother's age. You are young enough now. What's the point of knowing it? If you get younger, you will have to go to kindergarten." Ruan Hongzhuang evaded the question.

"You're right." Jiang Taozhi touched his cheek.

She was still very confident about her skin and appearance. But then she felt something was wrong, and she stared at Ruan Hongzhuang and said, "You are also young, but you have also absorbed the yang energy."

Ruan Hongzhuang reached out and hit her on the forehead.

"They said it was all fake, like, absorbing Yang Qi."

"But you've become younger, and your skin has become better. You must be jealous that I'm prettier than you, so you deliberately didn't tell me..."

Jiang Taozhi protected his head and expressed his dissatisfaction to Ruan Hongzhuang.

Ruan Hongzhuang didn't want to pay attention to her and continued eating.

"Huh, I was right, you never liked broccoli before..."

Ruan Hongzhuang stopped what she was doing when she heard that, then put down her fork and stared at Jiang Taozhi.

Jiang Taozhi turned his head guiltily, and at this moment, he found Jiang Yingxue coming back.

She quickly got up and ran over, hiding behind Jiang Yingxue.

"Auntie, Ruan Ruan bullied me."

"Don't be afraid. She won't dare to do that as long as I'm here." Jiang Yingxue said with a smile.

"Tsk~" Ruan Hongzhuang expressed her disdain.

He picked up his phone and read the text messages.

"Is that Xiao Shen?" Jiang Yingxue came over immediately.

Ruan Hongzhuang nodded.

"What did Xiao Shen say? Can he come out in the afternoon?" Jiang Yingxue asked again.

Jiang Taozhi, who was standing next to her, felt something was wrong when she saw Jiang Yingxue being so enthusiastic. It had only been one day. What kind of magic potion did Shen Siyuan give Aunt Jiang to make her so enthusiastic?
So she asked curiously: "Aunt Jiang, do you like Shen Siyuan very much?"

"Of course, Xiao Shen is handsome and capable, so of course I like him. He is the most suitable person to be my son-in-law." Jiang Yingxue said.

"There are many good-looking people, and he is very poor. As for his ability, how do you know?" Jiang Taozhi was puzzled.

Before Jiang Yingxue could say anything, Ruan Hongzhuang reached out and pinched her again.

"Don't say bad things about my boyfriend."

"Auntie, Auntie, you see, she bullied me, that's how she bullied me."

As she spoke, she imitated Ruan Hongzhuang's pinching and pinched her own face. Unexpectedly, she pinched too hard and made herself cry out in pain.

Jiang Yingxue was amused by her appearance and said with a smile: "Then what kind of son-in-law do you think I should find?"

"Of course I have to find a domineering president, the kind who is handsome and capable..." Jiang Taozhi said excitedly, his cheeks flushed.

"Do you mean a marriage?" Jiang Yingxue asked with a smile.

Jiang Taozhi nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.

Jiang Yingxue sighed and said, "I thought so before, but it's definitely not possible now. Ruan Ruan has fallen in love with Xiao Shen. With her personality, she will definitely not listen to my arrangements, right?"

"Yes, yes." Jiang Taozhi nodded repeatedly.

"How about this, auntie will take you in as her goddaughter, and then introduce you to a boy with a good family background, who is handsome and capable." Jiang Yingxue said while holding back her laughter.

Jiang Taozhi: ...

"Auntie."

"what happened?"

"You are as bad as Ruan Ruan."

"Hehe, you got it wrong. You should say Ruanruan is as bad as me. We are mother and daughter." Jiang Yingxue didn't care at all. Instead, she smiled and teased.

Jiang Taozhi became even angrier when he heard this.

She didn't even think about the fact that normally she was no match for Ruan Hongzhuang alone, let alone now there were two of them.
