marry the princess

Chapter 5 Past Events ([-])
"Le Yan, Le Yan?"

In front of the small building by the lake in the southern outskirts of the imperial city, Jiang Xiaozuo hurriedly ran across the wooden bridge with a bamboo basket on his back, stood in front of the bamboo pavilion and knocked on the door.

Today is the third day, the third day he sent her here according to Le Yan's intention.

"Who is this early in the morning?" A dissatisfied voice came from inside.

When the bamboo door was opened, the person who opened the door frowned when he saw Jiang Xiaozuo, "It's you again, why are you here so early today?"

"Grandma Zhu, I'm here to find Le Yan." Jiang Xiaozuo smiled.

The person called Bamboo Granny is very old, with silver hair, wearing coarse linen clothes, and her hands have become thick and ugly due to hard work. gourd scoop.

"Le Yan, Le Yan..." Granny Zhu gave him a sideways glance, murmured in a low voice, turned around and walked into the house, her left foot limping, "It's so early in the morning, Le Yan is still resting."

"Then I'll wait for her to get up." Jiang Xiaozuo immediately followed Granny Zhu into the house, and put the bamboo basket behind the door, "Is there anything I can do to help Granny?"

"If you have Le Yan's idea, don't try to please me because of this, I can't control my apprentice." Seeing how attentive he is, Granny Zhu said coldly, "Don't blame me, an old woman."

Jiang Xiaozuo gave a dry laugh in embarrassment, "Grandma Zhu was joking, I'm just worried about Le Yan, is her injury better?"

Granny Zhu walked towards the kitchen, walking slowly, "What's the matter, I'm covered in wounds, it's hard to sleep."

Hearing what she said, Jiang Xiaozuo's heart ached again. Yesterday he saw Le Yan's face was pale and his lips were bloodless, but today he still can't see the situation.And Granny Zhu said this in a nonchalant tone, but her eyes were congealed, revealing resentment.She knew who hurt Le Yan.

"Since you are here, help the old lady prepare this meal." Granny Zhu turned around when she walked to the kitchen door, and passed the gourd scoop in her hand, "The rice, make it softer, the old lady can't speak well. All right."

Jiang Xiaozuo was stunned for a moment, then took it over, and responded repeatedly, "Okay."

So, after Su Leyan got up and came to the kitchen, she saw Jiang Xiaoxuan frantically scrambling in the kitchen with a gray face.

"What are you doing?" Su Leyan asked with a smile while holding the door frame.

Jiang Xiaozuo raised his face from behind the stove when he heard Su Leyan's voice.From his current appearance, it is impossible to tell that he is a gentle and elegant doctor. His face, which was originally delicate and weak, was stained with black and gray. A lot of chaff.

"I'm cooking." Jiang Xiaozuo looked at Su Leyan and grinned silly.

"Snapped!"

Just as he was speaking, the burning bamboo knot in the stove broke open, making a loud noise, which made Jiang Xiaozuo jump in fright.

Su Leyan couldn't stand it anymore, "Why did you come here? Where's your mother-in-law?"

"I'm here to see you." He walked out from behind the stove, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and wiped his face even more, "Grandma said that I will help you with something before you get up .”

The corners of Su Leyan's mouth trembled.After doing this, the mother-in-law is back, I don't know how long it will take to clean up...

"Le Yan, how are you?" Jiang Xiaozuo wanted to reach out his hand, but seeing that his hand was dirty, he took it back again, "Are you feeling better?"

"Skin trauma, nothing serious."

Jiang Xiaozuo was worried, "Let me see."

"My mother-in-law has already given me medicine, and it's much better."

Su Leyan was embarrassed for a while.She knew that Jiang Xiaozuo was worried about her, and also knew that his words were only from the heart of a doctor, but she still couldn't help but think of the scene that day.

Seeing Le Yan's dodging eyes, Jiang Xiaozuo suddenly reacted, his gray face flushed suddenly, and he stuttered, "That, that's good."

The two were quiet for a while, Su Leyan was about to say that she was going out to find Granny Zhu, but when she raised her eyes, she saw Jiang Xiaozuo staring at her with a serious expression.

"Le Yan, I..." His face was flushed and he was very nervous, but finally he said what he had been thinking about for a long time, "Le Yan, the situation was urgent that day, and I didn't care about it for a while. I swear, although I have seen everything, I have absolutely no other thoughts, Le Yan, you, don't worry, I... I will marry you! I will marry you."

Su Leyan was stunned.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Jiang Xiaozuo became anxious, "I, I definitely didn't want to marry you because of this, Le Yan, I, I have always liked you..."

"I didn't take it to heart, you don't have to be nervous." Su Leyan smiled evasively, turned around and walked out, "We have known each other for so many years, I know who you are in my heart, so you don't have to take that matter to heart ,I understand."

"Le Yan, I'm really..."

"Is this house on fire?

Jiang Xiaozuo was about to catch up, but at this moment Granny Zhu's dissatisfied voice came, and then he remembered that there was still firewood burning in the stove, and hurriedly ran in with a "Aiya".

Granny Zhu just came in from outside the house, glanced at the back of Jiang Xiaozuo who hurried into the kitchen, walked up to Su Leyan, "This kid is stupid, how can he look like a doctor?"

"Mother-in-law."

"Le Yan, let's go to the room to rest first, I just have something to ask you again."

After saying that, Grandma Zhu went to the next room, and Su Leyan followed her closely.After entering the room, Granny Zhu closed the door.

"How is the injury, does it still hurt?"

"It's much better."

Granny Zhu nodded reassuringly, and picked up a small medicine bottle on the table, "This medicine is the best medicine, it won't leave scars, plus the doctor's medicine, it will be cured within a few days. "

"En." Su Leyan responded.

"Le Yan, now you can tell mother-in-law what happened."

Granny Zhu squeezed the medicine bottle tightly and asked again.When Jiang Xiaozuo and Le Yan first arrived, she was taken aback, but due to the urgency of the situation, she didn't ask any more questions for a while.She knew that Su Leyan was always friendly and never had any grudges with others. This time, there must be something hidden.

"Yan Zhi wants me to marry the Fourteenth Prince instead of his daughter Yan Xinyao."

Granny Zhu was shocked, but Su Leyan, she was a completely different person at this moment, when talking about this matter, she was neither depressed nor afraid.

"I didn't agree, so I ended up like this."

When Granny Zhu remembered that Le Yan's wounds all over her back were caused by Yan Zhi, her resentment grew a little more, and she took a sip, "That despicable and shameless villain!"

Su Leyan raised her eyes to look at Granny Zhu, her eyes were still a bit embarrassed, "I think he will definitely come to me again, and he will not stop until he achieves his goal."

"Shameless!" Granny Zhu put down the medicine bottle and smashed the table with a muffled sound, "What face does he have to come to you and treat you so cruelly?"

Su Leyan shook her head.She also couldn't figure out why she was chosen.

"Le Yan, you have to think about it clearly. This is not a trivial matter. If you make a mistake, you will have no turning back." Granny Zhu took her hand heartbroken, "Then Yan Zhi, he is just inhuman." Vicious dog, if you get provoked by this trick, there is no way out, even if you can hide it and marry him, will he let you go?"

"Even if I don't promise him right now, he won't let me go." Su Leyan bit her lips, "Grandma, don't worry, Le Yan has her own plans."

"Plans? What are your plans? A weak woman, he is Mo Xuan's general, powerful and powerful, how do you fight him?"

Doesn't Su Leyan know it, but...

"Grandmother, he killed my mother. I hate him, I hate him very much. Now that he found me on his own initiative, he will not let me go easily. He just tortured me this time. I'm afraid he will hurt me next time. To those innocent children in Caoluotang—there is nothing he can't do."

"then you……"

"I will promise him, become his 'pawn', and obey his 'order'."

Su Leyan said decisively.

In fact, this is also an opportunity for her, a very dangerous and rare opportunity.
