Chapter 18 Rejecting kindness

"Is it you?"

The man in front of me is the man who had dinner with Xie Jing yesterday.

What was he kidnapping himself for?

Did you have a conflict with Xie Jing?

Knowing that she is Xie Jing's fiancée, she is kidnapped and threatened by Xie Jing?

It’s over, she means nothing to Xie Jing~

Before Jiang Youning woke up, Xiao Yun had been sizing her up for a long time. In terms of appearance, she did have the ability to make men fall in love with her at first sight.

Jiang Youning came back from the shock and looked at the man in front of her warily, "Why did you tie me here?"

Xiao Yun gently shook the folding fan and took in the panic in her eyes, "My subordinate acted a little recklessly. Miss Jiang was not frightened, was she?"

Xiao Yun just ordered Wei Chen to bring Jiang Youning over, but Wei Chen mistakenly thought he had knocked Jiang Youning out and tied him up~

Jiang Youning wanted to roll her eyes, but she was drugged and tied up, and asked if she was frightened?

She was almost scared to death, right?

"If you had asked me later, you would have known that I would faint due to excessive fright. In severe cases, I would become a fool due to fright."

Xiao Yun was stunned for a moment, then chuckled: "I didn't expect you to be so timid. In this regard, you are not suitable for Xie Jing."

Jiang Youning thought of Xie Jing's strength, her back ached and her hands ached, and she wanted to agree with what he said.

"Are you Yue Lao?"

After a few seconds of silence, Xiao Yun laughed out loud, "Gu is not Yuelao, but he has Yuelao's abilities."

Jiang Youning was stunned for a moment when he first heard the name Gu. Isn't Gu the title of emperor?

Isn't it the same as Yue Lao when the emperor proposes a marriage?

When she learned that the noble man in front of her was the current emperor, the emperor with the power of life and death, she was so frightened that she got off the bed and knelt on her knees to kowtow.

"Long live the Emperor."

Xiao Yun lowered his eyes and looked at Jiang Youning on the ground, and ordered: "Raise your head."

How could Jiang Youning dare to say no? She raised her frightened face and looked at the current emperor, her almond-shaped eyes widening... She couldn't help but blink twice~

Xiao Yun stared at Jiang Youning for a while, and suddenly thought of the way she looked when she was eating Sixi meatballs, her eyes as pure as a gluttonous child.

"How about entering the palace and becoming an orphan concubine?"

Enter the palace and become a concubine?

A palace that eats people without spitting out their bones?

[Didn’t you just eat all the Sixi Meatballs yesterday? As for taking revenge on me today? 】

Jiang Youning trembled with fright, "Your Majesty, the civilian daughter is General Xie's fiancée."

Xiao Yun raised the corners of his lips, "I know that Xie Jing's engagement to you is just to deal with me. Xie Jing has no feelings for you."

Jiang Youning was stunned.

[Xie Jing indeed has no affection for me. How did the emperor know that? 】

Before Jiang Youning could speak, Xiao Yun added: "Gu will make you a noble concubine, and you will enjoy endless glory and wealth. Gu will give you everything you want."

Jiang Youning: "..."

[I’m out of my mind to be your concubine!]

Separated by a wall, Xie Jing's dark eyes flashed with strange color when she heard this sentence.

Xie Jing was at the school grounds when she was suddenly called over by Xiao Yun. He walked into the room without knowing why and heard the conversation between a man and a woman.

Jiang Youning's voice was a little soft, but he remembered it after hearing it once.

Next door are Xiao Yun and Jiang Youning.

Xie Jing was confused. Although she didn't understand what it meant, to sum up the whole sentence, the general meaning was that she didn't want to be Xiao Yun's concubine, even a noble concubine.

"How can a common girl dare to climb up to the emperor if she has neither talent nor virtue? A common girl fell in love with General Xie at first sight and hopes that the emperor will fulfill his wish."

After Jiang Youning finished speaking, he kowtowed.

Xiao Yun was startled when he heard this, and stared at Jiang Youning who was lying on the ground. He asked again: "You know that Xie Jing has no interest in you, but you also want to marry him?"

Jiang Youning nodded vigorously, "Go back to the emperor, the daughter of the people is willing."

[Anyway, it was Xie Jing who broke off the engagement. If she didn’t marry Xie Jing then, she wouldn’t be considered cheating. 】

Xie Jing: "..."

Xiao Yun was stunned again. He didn't even care about the imperial concubine. He just wanted to marry Xie Jing. He should be happy with Xie Jing, not because of his status as the general's wife.

Also, it is normal for Xie Jing to be successful as a young man and full of high-spirited spirit, which can make Jiang Youning fall in love.

He stared at Jiang Youning for a while and then ordered: "Wei Chen, send Miss Jiang back."

Jiang Youning secretly breathed a sigh of relief, kowtowed and thanked him, and then followed Wei Chen out.

After Jiang Youning left, Xiao Yun said again: "Xie Jing, come in."

Xie Jing then opened the door and walked in, stepped forward and saluted, "Your Majesty."

Xiao Yun said: "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xie Jing stood up.

Xiao Yun played with the folding fan in his hand and stared at Xie Jing for a while, "I heard everything just now."

Xie Jing said: "All the ministers heard it."

Xiao Yun chuckled: "Now I understand why you insist on marrying her as your wife. You have a good vision. Miss Jiang is not a woman who covets wealth."

I called Xie Jing over today, originally to let him know how greedy women are, but in the end, he was greatly disappointed.

Xie Jing was a little lucky that Xiao Yun didn't have the ability to read minds, otherwise he wouldn't have said that when he heard Jiang Youning's inner thoughts.

He cupped his fists and saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xiao Yun waved Xie Jing away, picked up the tea cup on the table, brought it to his mouth and took a sip, then put down the tea cup in his hand and went to Concubine Nian.

When Concubine Nian learned that the emperor was coming, she arranged her appearance and went out to meet him.

"Your Majesty, may you be blessed with peace and prosperity."

"Get up." Xiao Yun came to the couch and sat down.

Concubine Nian stood up and came to Xiao Yun's side. She put her slender jade fingers on his shoulders and said with an indescribable tenderness in her voice, "Your Majesty, would you like to stay for dinner tonight?"

Xiao Yun usually likes the concubine next year the most, but today he lost interest after listening to this delicate voice.

"I still have official business to deal with, let's do it next time!"

When Jiang Youning returned to Jiang's house, it was already dark.

When Chuntao made dinner and called Jiang Youning, she realized that she was missing.

The yard was not big, and Chuntao searched everywhere but could not find Jiang Youning. She was so anxious that she almost cried.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Chuntao's eyes were red. Seeing that she was back, he trotted up to greet her.

"Girl, where have you been?"

Jiang Youning comforted him: "I went out for a trip, don't worry."

Chuntao wiped her tears and said, "It's okay, girl, I'm scared to death."

Jiang Youning wanted to say that she was almost scared to death, but fortunately she was not in danger.

She touched her belly and said, "I'm hungry."

"Girl, dinner is already ready. Your servant will bring it to you right away." Chuntao said and walked into the small kitchen.

After Jiang Youning finished dinner, he took out the bill and took a look at it. He had already earned a hundred taels of silver.

She decided to add a few more limited-edition exquisite styles, and the sales target would naturally be wealthy people.

Brother once said that what rich people like most is limited edition, and they are willing to spend more money.

Chuntao was not idle either. After practicing calligraphy for a while, she made velvet flowers and didn't rest until late at night.

Shen Yan bought some gifts and couldn't wait to come to Jiang's house, wanting to meet Jiang Youning.

Jiang Xubai naturally would not refuse and asked the housekeeper to take Shen Tanhua to see Jiang Youning.

Jiang Youning had just finished breakfast and was about to go out when she saw Shen Yan coming before she even went out.

Shen Yan saw Jiang Youning and walked over with a smile on her face, "Sister Ning'er."
