Chapter 122 I protect you
I must teach this unfilial daughter a lesson today so that she knows who has the final say in this family!
Jiang Ningwan clenched his fists, ready to attack at any time.
Even if they really fall out, she is not afraid.
But when Jiang Bingde held the family law, a cold voice came -
"Duke Jiang, Jiang Ningwan is a General Lingwei, personally appointed by the Emperor, and holds the rank of Second Rank. You are not qualified to resort to private punishment."
"Besides, she is my king's princess."
"Even if she made a mistake, it's not your turn to teach her a lesson."
Following the sound, I saw Xiao Lan pushing the King of Chu slowly towards me.
The King of Chu sat upright in a wheelchair with a gloomy expression on his face, causing Jiang Bingde to silently hide the family rules behind him.
"Why is the prince here?"
"It's not that I want to cause trouble for her, but she's become more and more arrogant, so I can't help but want to teach her a lesson."
"It will also prevent her from angering the prince in the Chu Palace."
Qin Shuangchi's eyes remained cold, and he asked bluntly, "I wonder how Duke Jiang came to his conclusion?"
"From what I understand, she is both civil and military, knows her place and when to advance and retreat, never bullies others by taking advantage of her power, and certainly never looks down on others."
"If Duke Jiang feels that she is arrogant, he should reflect on what he has done."
"She is my princess. No matter what she does, I will not be angry. Duke Jiang, please do not be angry on my behalf."
Hearing this, Jiang Bingde's face turned ugly and he felt a little embarrassed.
"It seems like I'm meddling in my own business."
Qin Shuangchi didn't answer, but looked at Jiang Ningwan, "It's late, let's go back."
Jiang Ningwan nodded and left the Duke's Mansion.
Jiang Bingde and the others looked at them with complicated expressions.
Jiang Xiru knelt on the ground, his face swollen like a pig's head. He looked at the backs of Jiang Ningwan and King Chu, gritting his teeth, full of resentment.
Why, in this new life, Jiang Ningwan still lives better than her!
Why was Jiang Ningwan protected so well by the King of Chu after she married into his palace? In her previous life, the King of Chu treated her coldly and never protected her in front of outsiders.
Why can Jiang Ningwan easily get something that she can't ask for!
After getting on the carriage of Prince Chu's mansion, Jiang Ningwan couldn't help but say, "Thank you for what I said just now."
She also didn't expect that the King of Chu would actually defend her in front of Jiang Bingde.
Perhaps it was because Jiang Bingde and Qin Beihuang always stood on the same side, which made her accustomed to being alone.
Let her forget.
It is only natural for a father to protect his daughter and a husband to protect his wife.
"No need to be so polite." The King of Chu said in a calm voice.
"You have fallen out with Duke Jiang. Aren't you afraid that he will make things difficult for you? After all, we are colleagues in the officialdom." Jiang Ningwan was curious.
These words also made Qin Shuangchi a little surprised. Why would she think so?
After a long silence, he glanced at Jiang Ningwan, his deep eyes seemed to see through her.
He said quietly, "Don't I still have you? You will protect me, right?"
Jiang Ningwan's heart trembled, and she couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips slightly, "That's right, I'm here!"
"I'll protect you!"
Qin Shuangchi lowered his eyes, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his lips.
For Yu Jiang Ningwan, she doesn't expect anyone to help her much, she just wants someone to stand firmly by her side from beginning to end.
After returning to the Prince of Chu's Mansion, Jiang Ningwan looked at the courtyard guarded by guards from afar and seemed to be lost in thought.
Since she got married, she has never stayed in the Prince Chu's Mansion properly. Now that the title deed to the Ling family's ancestral home has been settled, it's time to find Lin Qinglai and her daughter.
"Your Highness, that courtyard is guarded day and night. Is it an important place?" Jiang Ningwan deliberately tested.
Qin Shuangchi was slightly startled, and slowly said: "Two unimportant people were locked up."
Jiang Ningwan's palms tightened, "It's not important? Then why are you guarding it so strictly?"
"There's a reason for being closed."
"..."
After sending Qin Shuangchi to the bedroom, Jiang Ningwan stayed temporarily on the pretext of taking his pulse.
After the acupuncture, Jiang Ningwan sat on the bed, took off her shoes naturally and prepared to lie down.
This action startled Qin Shuangchi, "What are you doing?"
"Go to bed. It's late."
She turned her head and saw Qin Shuangchi's brows were furrowed, like a frightened bird, and there was a hint of panic in his eyes.
"Go back to your room and sleep." Qin Shuangchi ordered him to leave in a cold voice.
Jiang Ningwan was puzzled. "Your Majesty, I've married you. We're husband and wife. Isn't it normal for us to sleep in the same bed?"
The study is next door, and she wanted to wait until Qin Shuangchi fell asleep before checking it out.
Xiao Lan stayed outside the yard almost all night and couldn't come in in the middle of the night.
Whether the death of her grandfather's family was related to Qin Shuangchi was a knot in her heart.
"No, I'm not used to sleeping with others." Qin Shuangchi was very firm.
"Then can I sleep on the floor? If word gets out that you and I sleep in separate rooms, people will laugh at us." Jiang Ningwan's eyes were filled with pleading.
Hearing this, Qin Shuangchi's heart tightened.
He shouted, "Xiao Lan!"
Jiang Ningwan was shocked and thought that Xiao Lan was going to kick her out.
However, when Xiao Lan came in, Qin Shuangchi ordered: "The king will sleep in the study."
Xiao Lan swiftly carried Qin Shuangchi to the study next door.
Jiang Ningwan was extremely shocked and hurried to the study. Seeing that the light was on in the room, she knocked on the door.
"Your Majesty, I'll just leave. You don't have to sleep in the study."
Qin Shuangchi's cold voice came from inside: "This prince will sleep in the study from now on, and there will be no rumors in the mansion."
Jiang Ningwan sighed helplessly and had to go back to her room.
Lying on Qin Shuangchi's bed, he tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
She originally wanted to go to the study to check it out herself, but now Qin Shuangchi has been forced to sleep in the study, so how can she sneak in?
……
sleepless nights.
After getting up early in the morning and washing up, the two of them had breakfast together. Both of them were still a little uncomfortable with this kind of life.
Even though we have been married for several months, we still feel unfamiliar with each other.
Qin Shuangchi finished his porridge, picked up his handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth. "If you have time today, follow me to the palace to see the Queen Mother."
Jiang Ningwan nodded quickly, "I'm free!"
According to the rules, after the wedding, one should go to the palace to pay respects to the Empress Dowager. She has already returned to Beijing, and it would be inappropriate not to go.
After breakfast, Jiang Ningwan changed her clothes and went to the palace with Qin Shuangchi to pay her respects to the empress dowager.
Unexpectedly, Qin Beihuang was also in Shouchun Palace.
The two men ignored her and went forward to pay their respects to the Queen Mother.
"Mother, I have brought Jiang Ningwan to pay my respects and offer you tea."
Jiang Ningwan knelt down and greeted, "May the Empress Dowager be blessed with good health."
He held up the teacup and handed it forward respectfully, but the Queen Mother didn't take it. Her expression was a little serious. "Why are you still calling me Queen Mother? Isn't it time to change your words?"
Jiang Ningwan was slightly startled, "Mother...May you be blessed with good health!"
The Queen Mother's face lit up with joy and she happily took the tea from her. "That's right."
Jiang Ningwan was a little uncomfortable at first, as the Queen Mother had become the Queen Mother.
"I have been waiting for this cup of tea from you for several months." The Queen Mother took her hand and asked her to sit down beside her.
"It is my son who is unfilial."
The Queen Mother patted the back of her hand and said, "You are too kind. You went on the Southern Expedition and made great contributions. I am so happy."
As she spoke, the Queen Mother suddenly turned her gaze towards Qin Beihuang, "Your uncle is here, and you don't even know how to greet him!"
