“An Xue Tang was stunned for a moment, then smiled mischievously. “I’m not afraid at all. Ah Jing, don’t forget that I am your wife now. Could it be that you want to abandon your wife?”
Mo Yun’s deep-set eyes narrowed slightly, “Sugar Sugar, are you saying I can take you away openly and above board?”
“Ah Jing, do you know what it means to be ‘married and follow your husband’?”
Mò Yún Jǐng chuckled, then lowered his head to gently kiss the tip of her nose. He lingered for a moment, then lightly pecked at her thin lips, his voice a low murmur, “I know, Táng Táng, thank you.”
An Xuetang smirked, “But Jing, you have to remember this, I’m the kind of person who only accepts one love for life. If you ever betray me, I will run far away, so far that you can’t find me.”
She wasn’t joking. When she loves someone, she gives everything, even her life. But if she’s disappointed and leaves, she does so gracefully, without looking back or giving him any chance to change things.
Mo Yunjing’s black eyes were deep, and he held her cheek in one hand. “I won’t give Tangtang this chance.”
He tightened his grip on her waist, as if wanting to absorb her completely into his embrace.
An Xuetang’s lips curved upwards slightly, her head buried deeply in his collar, the frequency of their heartbeats increasing, unable to calm down.
At this moment, An Xue Tang’s state of mind was unlike any she had experienced before. When she first arrived, she may have thought about staying away from trouble, living a quiet and peaceful life, not wanting to live the life of licking blood on the edge of a knife like in her past life.
Who can control their emotions?
Since discovering her love for Mo Yunjing, since deciding to face the future with him, she thought, as long as she was by his side, as long as his heart held her, even if it meant going through fire and water, she was willing to be with him.
After a brief embrace, Mo Yunjing suddenly spoke, “Tangtang, I seem… to be a bit overwhelmed.”
“….”
An Xuetang instantly came back to her senses and quickly helped him up, “Ah Jing, don’t be afraid, press down on me, I’ll help you get to the bed.”
“Hmm.”
Mò Yúnjǐng’s legs were indeed very painful, he was already sweating profusely. At this moment, he let her pull him with all her might, struggling back to bed.
An Xuetang let out a long sigh of relief, “Ah Jing was really amazing today,”
Mo Yunjing curled his lips, “It was Tangtang who taught me well.”
An Xuetang was delighted by his words and laughed heartily. After chatting for a while, An Xuetang also gave him acupuncture on his legs and prepared a medicinal bath for him.
After she finished everything, she felt his pulse again to make sure he wasn’t showing any signs of illness before letting him sleep.
The next day
An Xuetang found that the two young girls in the operating room had already begun to study as soon as she got up. She taught them yesterday, and both of them had basically mastered it.
She taught them a few more things again and then randomly had breakfast with Mo Yunjing.
After dinner, she took Dinghua back to Ling Shui Village.
Although Mo Yunjing didn’t allow her to go back to the wooden house, she was still a bit confused and wanted to see for herself who was in the house. Was that person targeting her family?
If so, she definitely couldn’t let that person live.
At this moment, Ding Hua and An Xue Tang were in the carriage. Ding Hua suddenly noticed the jade pendant faintly visible around her waist. His face changed slightly, “Miss, can you show me the jade pendant on your waist?”
An Xuetang was taken aback. She lowered her head and glanced at the jade pendant. It was indeed given to her by Jing. Could Ding Hua possibly recognize it?
An Xuetang narrowed her eyes slightly, hesitated for a moment and then took out the jade pendant and handed it to Ding Hua.
Ding Hua carefully took it over, and when he saw the texture of the jade pendant, his face changed completely!
An Xuetang kept staring at him, naturally missing his expression at this moment. Seeing him so surprised and shocked.
An Xuetang knew that Ding Hua must have recognized the origin of this jade pendant, and now she was particularly curious about Ding Hua’s identity.
She had long suspected he was no ordinary person, but she never expected him to recognize Mo Yunjing’s jade pendant. It seems his identity is far from simple.
This surprised her, but she now stared at him with an indifferent expression, wanting to hear what he had to say.
Ding Hua immediately stopped the carriage. His murky eyes fixed on An Xue Tang, “Miss, this… where did you get this jade pendant?”
“An Xuetang raised an eyebrow slightly, “Why are you so flustered? First, tell me, have you recognized the significance of this jade pendant?”
“…”
He really did recognize it!
An Xue Tang looked at him intently, “Are you sure?”
“Yes, I have seen the Fifth Prince’s jade pendant with my own eyes. It is this one, there is no mistake!”
“Ding Hua, who are you exactly? How did you recognize the prince’s jade pendant?”
From An Xuetang’s words, it seemed that she admitted the jade pendant belonged to the Fifth Prince. Ding Hua fell silent and then suddenly widened his eyes. A memory flashed in his mind: every time An Xuetang called her husband, she addressed him as “Ah Jing”!
Ah, Jing… The Fifth Prince’s name is Mo Yunjing!
Ding Hua suddenly jumped down from the carriage and immediately knelt down very seriously to pay respects to An Xue Tang, “Your subordinate Ding Hua, greets the Princess!”
“…”
An Xuetang twitched the corner of her mouth, this…was a bit too fantastical, wasn’t it?
So, Ding Hua also recognized Ah Jing’s identity?!
How can all these people be so smart?
An Xuetang raised an eyebrow. “Ding Hua, wake up. Get in the car. We can talk on the way.”
“Yes!” Ding Hua’s attitude became unusually respectful. He got up and got in the car, continuing his journey.
An Xuetang sat behind him, slowly speaking, “Ding Hua, who are you exactly?”
“I am the head of the Cang Hai Merchant House here in this city!”
“!!” I see!
The Cang Hai Trading Company is an enterprise of Mo Yun Jing, specializing in gathering grain and supplies for his Northern Frontier army.
As the head of Canghai Merchant Firm in this city, Ding Hua naturally recognized Mo Yunjing’s jade pendant. No wonder he could recognize it at once.
You are the head of Cang Hai Trading Co., then you will also be the manager in the estate?
“Does the Queen know the initial intention behind the establishment of the Cang Hai Trading Company?”
“For the Northern Frontier Army’s grain and forage.”
“That’s right, although our Cang Hai Trading Company claims to do all kinds of business, our primary focus is collecting as much grain and forage as possible and transporting it secretly to the granaries in the Northern Frontier on schedule, just in case!”
The reason I’m at this manor is mainly to collect provisions. The Princess probably hasn’t noticed, but the fields near our estate are actually planted with grain. This grain is actually supplied to our Cang Hai Trading Company.
“A few of us, including Ding Yi, are laying in wait here to keep tabs on the grain supply. When harvest time comes, we’ll secretly go and buy it up.”
An Xuetang narrowed her eyes. “Why are you acquiring this secretly?”
“The whereabouts of grain every year are something the government always pays attention to. Our Cang Hai Trading Company publicly won’t do any grain business, otherwise we would attract the attention of the authorities.”
If the officials knew that the Cang Hai Trading Company buys this much grain every year, they would surely investigate us thoroughly. In that case, our transportation route for the grain would be exposed.
Once discovered that we transported so much grain to the northern frontier, that person on the Dragon Throne would surely suspect the Prince’s motives and act against him!
