Seeing that Jiang Peihuan did not refute, the smile in Xiao Nanye’s eyes deepened.
At this moment, the stall owner who spoke earlier continued,” Young Master, your wife is really beautiful.”
The person who spoke was a young woman. Beside her was a young man who was concentrating on carving a hairpin in his hand.
The two were clearly a couple.
When the stall owner’s husband saw someone coming over, he glanced at Xiao Nanye and Jiang Peihuan. When he saw Jiang Peihuan, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, but he quickly lowered his head to focus on his work.
The stall owner looked very delicate and pretty. When she praised Jiang Peihuan’s beauty, her tone was very sincere, making people involuntarily feel comfortable.
Although Jiang Peihuan initially had no interest in these hairpins and accessories, but she became more patient at this moment.
In comparison, Xiao Nanye chose very carefully.
Finally, the man reached out and picked up a wooden hairpin in the corner.
The wooden hairpin was polished very smoothly and there were not many decorations on it. But upon closer look, one could see a sentence carved on it.
Seeing the sentence, Xiao Nanye turned to Jiang Peihuan and asked, “Huan Er, what do you think of this hairpin?”
The wooden hairpin was made of date wood, not worth much, but well-crafted.
Upon hearing Xiao Nanye’s words, Jiang Peihuan nodded, “Good.”
“I’ll take this wooden hairpin.”
As soon as Jiang Peihuan spoke, Xiao Nanye took out a silver ingot and placed it on the stall.
Then, before Jiang Peihuan could react, Xiao Nanye inserted the wooden hairpin into her hair.
“Huan Er, look, this hairpin suits you very well.”
As he spoke, Xiao Nanye had already presented a bronze mirror to Jiang Peihuan.
The black wooden hairpin was inserted diagonally into Jiang Peihuan’s hair bun, simple yet stylish.
Xiao Nanye had already given many jewels to Jiang Peihuan, but at this moment, looking at the wooden hairpin, she had a strange feeling.
Looking at her reflection in the bronze mirror, Jiang Peihuan laughed softly, “1 like it very much.”
Hearing her words, the stall owner said with a smile, “Young Master, since your wife likes it, 1’11 give you back the change.”
“No need.”
Hearing the stall owner’s words, Xiao Nanye casually responded, then led Jiang Peihuan away by the hand.
The stall owner was stunned, and then said with a smile, “Thank you, Young Master and Madam.”
“Husband, look, we’ve made a good profit today.”
The young man who had been busy carving the hairpin heard his wife’s words and nodded with a smile.
Seeing this, Jiang Peihuan also smiled.
“Huan Er, I’m returning to Jingdou tonight.”
Jiang Peihuan, who was eating, looked surprised when she heard this.
She looked at the man and whispered, “You’re leaving tonight?”
“Yes.”
The man nodded and continued, “There’s been some trouble in the court recently. The Emperor asked me to return.”
“Mmm, 1 understand.”
After that, neither of them talked about this matter again.
By the evening, they had returned to the entrance of the Xue mansion.
But Xiao Nanye did not go in, instead he turned to Jiang Peihuan and said, “I won’t go in to say goodbye to the old madam this time.”
“Okay, I’ll tell my grandmother.”
Deputy General Liu had already brought out the horse.
Seeing him, Xiao Nanye whispered, “Take good care of your young mistress.”
“Rest assured, Your Highness.”
Hearing Xiao Nanye’s words, Deputy General Liu bowed.
Seeing this, Xiao Nanye jumped onto his horse and pulled Zhui Yun’s reins. He gave Jiang Peihuan one last glance, and patted Zhui Yun’s head.
In an instant, Zhui Yun started running.
Watching the man ride away, Jiang Peihuan’s eyes were a little complicated.
When Xiao Nanye’s figure disappeared around the corner, Deputy General Liu, who was standing at the side, looked at Jiang Peihuan and said,” Eldet Miss, let’s go inside.”
“Yes.”
Jiang Peihuan nodded and turned to leave.
For some reason, when she saw Xiao Nanye leave, she felt a faint sense of reluctance. In the past, she never seemed to have this feeling.
After returning to her room, Jiang Peihuan couldn’t help but take off the wooden hairpin on her head.
When she placed the hairpin in her hand, she noticed the words carved on it, ‘Wish to win someone’s heart, and to never be apart till old.’
Seeing these words, Jiang Peihuan’s eyes showed a hint of tenderness, and her sense of loss seemed to have faded significantly.
Xiao Nanye, who had left the Xue mansion, was heading to the Jingdou.
As soon as he left Qingzhou City, he saw Han Feng waiting there.
Han Feng was ordered to wait here. Hearing the sound of horse hooves, he immediately looked up.
Seeing the person on horseback, Han Feng was delighted, “Master?”
“Did anything happen in the the Jingdou?”
Seeing Han Feng, Xiao Nanye nodded and then asked softly.
“I’ve already made arrangements for Lin Xingchen and the others. As for the Prince Qing, other than gathering the funds, there seems to be no other movements.”
Hearing this, Xiao Nanye frowned.
But he didn’t say anything.
The master and servant both headed towards the Jingdou, while at this time, in the general’s mansion, someone left quietly.
An hour later, Pei Wu entered Xiao Junhao’s study.
Looking at the person reading, Pei Wu bowed and then spoke in a low voice, Your Highness, Old Madam Jiang plans to visit Lingyun Temple tomorrow.”
Hearing this, Xiao Junhao put down his book.
After a moment of silence, he spoke softly, “1 hear, Jiang Peihuan and Old Madam Jiang have a good relationship.”
“I heard so.”
“If something happens to Old Madam Jiang, I suppose she’d be very upset, wouldn’t she?”
To this, Pei Wu had no response.
The study room was quiet for a moment before Xiao Junhao turned to Pei Wu and said, “You’ll handle this. Remember, this time only success is acceptable, no failure.”
“Yes.”
General’s mansion.
Chrysanthemum Hall.
“Mother, how about I accompany you to Lingyun Temple tomorrow?”
Xue Yan said softly as she looked at Old Madam Jiang.
But Madam Jiang shook her head, “No need, 1 can go alone. You’ve been busy lately, no need to accompany me.”
As she spoke, Old Madam Jiang glanced at Zhou Rongfang and Liu Xiu.
Because of Jian Mei’s affairs, Zhou Rongfang held some grudges against Old Madam Jiang and remained silent. Liu Xiu, who had been ignored by Old Madam Jiang due to Liu Xin’s matters for several days, wanted to go but didn’t dare to say anything.
Old Madam Jiang frowned and said,” Alright, you can all go back now.”
A moment later, only Old Madam Jiang was left in the Chrysanthemum Hall.
The next morning, after having breakfast, Old Madam Jiang boarded the carriage to Lingyun Temple.
In the carriage, besides Old Madam Jiang, there was also Granny Xu.
“Old Madam, the third lady really respects you..”
