Chapter 165 I am going to ask my father to marry me
Looking at Lin Mengyao who was standing by his side, Xiao Junhao said softly.
"My lord, this is what I should do, you don't need to thank me."
Hearing Xiao Junhao's words, Lin Mengyao hurriedly spoke out.
Xiao Junhao didn't speak any more, but looked around subconsciously, and finally his gaze fell on his coat. Following his gaze, Lin Mengyao said softly, "My lord, are you looking for something?"
"I'm a little thirsty, Yao'er, please pour me a glass of water."
"Okay, wait for me for a while."
Saying that, Lin Mengyao left the bed and walked towards the table. Looking at her back, Xiao Junhao reached out and picked up his coat, touched it carefully, and found the ruby ring from it.
Looking at the ring in his hand, he held it tightly.
"My lord, the water is coming."
Hearing Lin Mengyao's voice, Xiao Junhao put his hands under the quilt.
Walking to the bed, Lin Mengyao put the water on the bedside table, and then helped Xiao Junhao up, and brought the teacup to his lips.
Looking at Lin Mengyao's hand, Xiao Junhao waved his hand after drinking two sips of water.
After putting down the teacup, Lin Mengyao looked at Xiao Junhao, and said softly, "My lord, the injury on your body was caused by Miss Jiang's family?"
"It's not all because of her, but it has something to do with her."
Thinking of the man who stabbed him, although he covered his face, Xiao Junhao still subconsciously felt that the man was Xiao Nanye. Thinking of this, the expression in his eyes that had just eased showed a bit of gloom again.
"Yao'er, there is one thing I need your help with."
"My lord needs me to do something, you can just say it."
Xiao Junhao turned sideways and whispered a few words in Lin Mengyao's ear. Hearing his words, Lin Mengyao nodded, "Okay, I will ask the eldest princess for help."
"Then thank you for your hard work."
"It's my honor to be able to help the prince without hard work."
Lin Mengyao's eyes were full of tenderness, looking at the person standing in front of him, Xiao Junhao suddenly thought of Jiang Peihuan for some reason.
Although they are all women, that woman always seems to be cold and sharp, and will never be as gentle as Lin Mengyao.
"My lord?"
Lin Mengyao looked at the dazed man with doubts in her eyes. Looking at Xiao Junhao, she increased her volume a bit.
"Um?"
Lin Mengyao's voice awakened Xiao Junhao's thoughts. The man turned his head and looked at her suspiciously.
Following the man's expression, Lin Mengyao continued, "My lord, your injury is not serious. I will stay in the mansion to take care of it for a few days."
"Alright, let Pei Wu arrange a room for you."
For Lin Mengyao's decision, Xiao Junhao did not refuse, nodded and said softly.
"Then, rest well, my lord. I'll go change my clothes first and come see you later."
"Um."
Seeing Xiao Junhao nodding, Lin Mengyao stood up, and after saluting to Xiao Junhao, she turned around.
The moment she turned around, the tenderness in Lin Mengyao's eyes disappeared instantly.
At this time, Xiao Junhao's voice suddenly came from behind, "Yao'er?"
Hearing Xiao Junhao's voice, Lin Mengyao stopped, and when she turned to look at the man, her eyes revealed the usual tenderness, "My lord?"
"When the king recovers from his injuries, I will ask my father for a marriage."
"My lord?"
Looking at Xiao Junhao, she said softly, "Thank you, my lord."
"You are tired too, go and have a rest."
After Lin Mengyao left, Xiao Junhao opened his palms, looking at the ruby ring in his hand, Xiao Junhao's eyes showed a bit of complexity.
Jiang Peihuan didn't know anything about Prince Qing's Mansion.
When the morning light entered the room, Jiang Ruyun knocked on Jiang Peihuan's door, "Big sister?"
Jiang Peihuan just woke up, when she heard the voice, she said softly, "Come in."
"Big sister, you didn't encounter any danger yesterday, did you?"
When speaking, Jiang Ruyun's eyes were full of worry.
When Xiao Nanye came to her door yesterday, she was startled and worried about what happened to Jiang Peihuan.
It wasn't until late at night that Lan Er said that Jiang Peihuan had returned home, and she was relieved.
If it wasn't too late yesterday, she would have come over last night.
So early this morning, Jiang Ruyun couldn't wait.
Seeing the worry in her eyes, Jiang Peihuan smiled, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
"There was something wrong yesterday, so it was a little late."
Regarding what Xiao Junhao did yesterday, Jiang Peihuan didn't plan to tell the Jiang family, after all, it wasn't her who suffered.
"That's good."
"Are you going to tell the second uncle and the second aunt about the Cao family?"
After sitting down in the small flower hall, Jiang Peihuan looked at Jiang Ruyun beside him and said.
Hearing Jiang Peihuan's words, Jiang Ruyun fell silent.
After a while, she looked at Jiang Peihuan and said, "Big sister, I don't want to tell my father and mother about this for the time being. Also, I believe that after this incident, if I really have any conflicts with Mrs. Cao in the future, Cao Brother will also protect me."
After what happened yesterday, Jiang Ruyun finally figured it out.
Everything can’t be both. Compared with her future mother-in-law, Mrs. Cao, she should be considered lucky. At least Cao Jun can protect her, but Mrs. Cao has always faced Mrs. Cao by herself for so many years.
Hearing this, Jiang Peihuan nodded and said nothing.
After all, it is Jiang Ruyun's marriage, she still has to respect her own ideas.
But after thinking about it, Jiang Peihuan still looked at Jiang Ruyun and said, "When you marry into the Cao family in the future, you must tell the family what happens if you really encounter it."
"I know."
Originally, Jiang Ruyun's marriage was before Jiang Peihuan's, but neither the Jiang family nor the Cao family wanted to offend Xiao Nanye, so after discussing, they moved their marriage to after Jiang Peihuan's.
"Miss, Miss Liu is here."
While Jiang Peihuan was talking to Jiang Ruyun, Yue'er walked into the small flower hall and said softly.
Hearing the voice, Jiang Peihuan put down the teacup, then said softly, "Please come in."
A moment later, Liu Xin walked into the small flower hall with her maid.
After saluting Jiang Peihuan and Jiang Ruyun, Liu Xin said with a smile, "I didn't know that the second lady was here with Sister Jiang. Excuse me."
"It's okay, come and sit."
Liu Xin nodded with a smile, but subconsciously glanced at Jiang Ruyun.
Seeing her eyes, Jiang Peihuan didn't say anything.
But Jiang Ruyun looked at Liu Xin, and said softly, "Miss Liu, I was the one who was abrupt in the past, and I am here to apologize to you."
"Second Miss, you must not say that."
Hearing Jiang Ruyun's words, Liu Xin's eyes were full of panic.
