Chapter 224: Go Find Someone Else

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Looking at Jiang Peihuan, she said with indignation in her eyes, “Eldest sister, why did you give the golden hairpin granted to you by the emperor to Cousin Ru?”

“Since she asked for it, it wouldn’t be right to refuse her completely.”

“No matter what, she’s Mother’s niece. For Mother’s sake, we can’t be too calculative.”

“But 1 guess she wouldn’t dare wear the golden hairpin outside. She can only look at it and not use it. The one who will suffer is her.”

Hearing the first part of Jiang Peihuan’s words, Jiang Sijin had a hint of melancholy in her eyes, but after hearing the last sentence, her eyes were filled with smiles.

Looking at Jiang Peihuan, she gave a thumbs up with a smile, “Eldest sister, you’re the smart one.”

“If you like any of these items, you can take them.”

Jiang Peihuan didn’t particularly care for these jewels and ornaments.

Moreover, Xiao Nanye had also gifted many to her in the past, which she had simply stored away.

After speaking with Jiang Sijin, Jiang Peihuan turned to Jiang Ruyun, “You too can choose what you like. In a little over a month, you’ll marry into the Cao family. Consider these items as my dowry gift to you.”

“Thank you, elder sister. But these items are imperial gifts. Would it be a problem if the emperor found out?”

Although she was tempted by the jewelry, Jiang Ruyun still had reservations.

Hearing her words, Jiang Peihuan whispered, “It’s fine. It’s not as strict as it was during the previous dynasty.”

“Second sister, don’t overthink. If Cousin Ru dares to take them, what do we have to worry about?”

Jiang Sijin used to dislike Jiang Ruyun, but seeing Xue Ru’s attitude now, she suddenly felt that Jiang Ruyun was much better.

Everything seems worse when compared.

“Eldest sister, I want this jade pendant.”

As she spoke, Jiang Sijin had already picked up a pair of jade pendants from the tray.

Jiang Peihuan nodded without speaking.

Jiang Sijin quickly chose her items, but Jiang Ruyun hesitated over hairpins. In the end, she picked up a pearl hairpin.

Looking at Jiang Peihuan, Jiang Ruyun whispered, “Elder sister, I want this pearl hairpin.”

“This one’s yours. And this set of ornaments, give it to our second aunt when you go back.”

“Elder sister, this is too valuable.”

“It’s just a set of ornaments. It’s not a big deal.”

“Thank you very much, elder sister.”

Jiang Ruyun quietly thanked her as she looked at the items that Jiang Peihuan handed over.

After Jiang Ruyun left, Jiang Peihuan handed another set of ornaments to Jiang Sijin, “Take this set to the Elegant garden and give it to our third aunt.”

“Alright.”

Subsequently, Jiang Peihuan also chose some gifts for Old Madame Jiang and Xue Yan.

Even for Old Madam Xue and the two ladies of the Xue family, Jiang Peihuan didn’t leave them out.

By the time she had distributed all the items, the trays on the table were nearly empty.

However, Jiang Peihuan was still curious about what Xiao Nanye had done to earn such a reward from Emperor Qi Ming at this time.

Jiang Peihuan waited for Xiao Nanye to arrive and inquire.

But he didn’t show up all night.

“Eldest Miss, it’s getting late. You should rest.”

Yue’er carefully moved the brazier aside and then turned to advise Jiang Peihuan.

Jiang Peihuan glanced outside and softly asked, “Has it started snowing heavily outside?”

“Yes, it seems this winter will be very cold.”

“Alright, you should go and rest too.”

“Yes.”

After bowing to Jiang Peihuan, Yue Er left her room.

When Jiang Peihuan lay down, Xiao Bai quickly ran up to the bed, finding its usual spot.

Seeing its movements, Jiang Peihuan softly chuckled, “You sure know your place.”

Could it be that the snowstorm was too intense?

Jiang Peihuan lay down, filled with doubts.

She realized that she seemed to have gotten used to seeing Xiao Nanye every day.

At this moment, Xiao Nanye was looking coldly at the woman named Zhuo Ma in front of him.

He was about to leave for the General’s Mansion, but just as he reached the door, he heard the doorkeeper announce that Princess Zhuo Ma had come to visit.

With cold eyes fixed on Zhuo Ma as she entered the main hall, Xiao Nanye’s expression showed no warmth.

Zhuo Ma, on the other hand, did not seem to notice the coldness in the man’s eyes. She walked forward with a smile, “Your Highness, 1 hope you’ll forgive my sudden visit.”

“Princess Zhuo Ma came to my Cheng Mansion late at night, is there something you need?”

“Indeed, I have a request. Being new to the capital, I’m not very familiar with it. I was hoping that you might be willing to show me around.”

Hearing this, Han Feng, standing next to Xiao Nanye, widened his eyes. If the situation had been different, he would have applauded this princess from the grasslands for her audacity.

“You should find someone else; I’m not available,” Xiao Nanye declined flatly.

“Your Highness, I…”

“Han Feng, see our guest out.”

Zhuo Ma hadn’t expected Xiao Nanye to refuse her so bluntly. As she stood up from her chair, preparing to say something else, he cut her off.

She tried to approach him, but Han Feng blocked her way. “Princess Zhuo Ma, please.”

She shot Han Feng a fierce look before leaving the mansion. However, instead of departing right away, she had her carriage brought to the side. She had noticed earlier that Xiao Nanye was about to leave his mansion, and she wanted to find out where he was heading.

“Master, Princess Zhuo Ma hasn’t left yet,” Han Feng whispered, having noticed her lurking in the shadows.

Xiao Nanye glanced coldly in her direction, murmuring, “Ignore her.”

He always disregarded things and people he deemed unimportant.

Shortly after, Xiao Nanye and Han Feng mounted their horses. Seeing this, Zhuo Ma rode over, “Your Highness, where are you headed? May I accompany you?”

Han Feng was speechless. He couldn’t believe someone, especially a princess, could be so shameless.

Without sparing her a glance, Xiao Nanye signaled to his horse, which immediately bolted forward. Han Feng quickly followed.

Zhuoma clenched her teeth, raising her own whip to spur her horse on. But by the time she rounded the corner, following the sound of hooves, Xiao Nanye and Han Feng had disappeared from sight.

Staring at the direction in which they’d vanished, Zhuo Ma’s grip tightened in frustration.

Meanwhile, in the General’s Mansion, Plum Garden

The lights in Jiang Peihuan’s room were out. Xiao Nanye stood in the courtyard, quietly approaching her door. He gently pushed it open.

There was a faint fragrance in the air, and the man’s eyes became gentle.

In the darkness, the man slowly walked to the bedside..
