"What? Your Highness is familiar with this Huairang Master? ”

Qi Xiuyao looked at the temptation in her expression, and couldn't help but laugh lowly, and said with a gentle face and doting in his tone: "No, I haven't seen Master Huairang, and there is nothing false about this." ”

He knew that she was suspicious of him, so he would try it like this.

But Qi Xiuyao, who was suspected, was not uncomfortable at all, on the contrary, he was still in a somewhat happy mood.

Her temptation like this means that Ah Yue cares about him, he is not afraid of her temptation, he is afraid that she will directly alienate and ignore him like before.

That feeling was very unpleasant, which made Qi Xiuyao a little unable to control his tyrannical emotions.

Yu Shuyue looked at him very seriously, staring at her with blazing eyes, her face suddenly became hot, and now she finally realized that her wrist was still being held by him, and she subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand.

Before she could make a move, Jiang Ming's anxious voice came from behind her.

"Who are you, let go of my cousin Ah Yue."

Jiang Ming stared at Qi Xiuyao's hand holding Yu Shuyue's wrist, he hurriedly came over and wanted to pull Qi Xiuyao away, but he didn't expect that he hadn't approached and was stopped by Hua An.

"Presumptuous, don't be rude to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Prince ......"

Jiang Ming was stunned for a moment when he heard that it was the prince, but looking at the big unsightly palm on Yu Shuyue's white wrist, his eyes flashed slightly, and he continued without humility or arrogance: "Under Jiang Ming is the cousin of Ah Yue's cousin, I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince, even if you are the prince, you can't do anything to a woman in broad daylight, please let go of my cousin." ”

Qi Xiuyao stopped Hua An's movements, he held Yu Shuyue's big palm tightened slightly, and pulled her to his without hurting her, the corners of his mouth hooked up a playful smile, his eyes were slightly cold and stared at Jiang Ming, who was shouting at him, and said lightly: "I need to ask for your consent to hold my fiancée's hand?" ”

"Not ...... Fiancee? ”

Jiang Ming was stunned on the spot, he looked at Yu Shuyue in disbelief, wanting to get a negative answer from her.

Yu Shuyue didn't even bother to give him a look, and directly ignored him.

"Jiang Gongzi has read the books of sages and sages, and he still understands the most basic etiquette, righteousness, honesty, benevolence, righteousness and morality, and he should take back those unpopular means."

Qi Xiuyao's words made Jiang Ming's face turn pale, and he quickly reacted with the expression on his face, "I am stupid, I don't understand what His Highness means by this." ”

"Jiang Gongzi will understand."

Qi Xiuyao just hooked his lips and smiled, his smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, and after retracting his gaze, he looked at Yu Shuyue gently, smiled at her, and then took her wrist and led her to the carriage.

"Your Highness, I will go myself."

"Okay."

Qi Xiuyao said yes, but he didn't see him let go.

Yu Shuyue couldn't either, so she let him lead her, anyway, it didn't take a few steps to get to the carriage, and she couldn't help but call her softly when she saw her friend still stunned.

Liu Ruoxi took back the thoughtful expression on his face, answered, and took one last look at Jiang Ming, whose face was extremely ugly, and left.

Jiang Ming stood in place and watched the carriage of their group drift away, his hand hanging by his side clenched into a fist, and his face became more and more ugly.

When did Ah Yue actually have a marriage contract, or with His Royal Highness the Prince, why didn't he know anything!

"Childe, it's getting late, don't go back to the city and wait for the city gate to close......"

The little servant in Jiangfu saw that his son-in-law had been standing motionless with a black face, and it was almost time to close the city gate, so he had to remind his son.

"Poof—"

"Childe, are you alright?"

Jiang Ming suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, and the person couldn't stand and knelt on the ground, which frightened the little guy into a panic and hurriedly helped him.

"It's okay, let's go."

Jiang Ming was furious, and after a mouthful of blood spit out, the whole person weakened a lot, his face was pale, and his eyes were unwilling.

"Go back and help me inquire about the marriage between Miss Cousin and the Prince."

"Yes, the little one will inquire when you go back, and the little one will help you get into the carriage and go back to the city first."

Jiang Ming leaned on the carriage, his eyes closed tightly and his brows were tightly locked, and his heart was bitter.

After knowing that Yu's father was recalled to Beijing, he has been lobbying his grandfather to expand the Jiang family's industry to the capital.

He wanted to be closer to her, so that it would be easier for him to compensate her and make up for the mistakes he had made before.

It took him a year to finally convince his grandfather, but he didn't expect that he had only been in the capital for more than a month, and now he heard such a thing that was difficult for him to accept.

Even if he has great ability, what can he do with the royal marriage contract?

This is the reason why Jiang Ming is angry and anxious, he seems to have predicted his fate that he will not be able to ask for in his life.

He muttered to himself the twelve words he had said to his grandfather last time, "The line is coming, the line is not quitting, and the future is promising." ”

The corners of his mouth twitched at the arc of a mockery.

He still remembered that when he first met Ah Yue, the little girl was only eight years old, and she looked white and clean, just like those women who grew up in the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, and she couldn't tell that she grew up in the windy and sandy Saibei.

He thought that he had a sister and that he would pamper her.

At first, he did his best to be kind to Yu Shuyue, but as his grandfather, father, and mother, who only revolved around him in the past, were all good to her, he gradually had strange emotions in his heart.

At that time, he was just a half-grown child who was pampered by adults since he was a child, thinking about things was too superficial and simple, coupled with the pampering of some people around him, he transferred those imbalances and resentment in his heart to Yu Shuyue, and did something that he regretted for the rest of his life.

After the incident, he was very annoyed and regretful, but the incident had happened, the damage had been done, and Yu Shuyue's disgust for him had already arisen.

No matter how much he does later, it will be in vain.

Jiang Ming thought that he still had time to take his time, he had never liked to read, and he began to study hard every day because of his grandfather's words, just in order to one day cross the class of merchants to scholars with the title of the gold list, so that the distance between him and Ah Yue was smaller.

Everything he had planned was disillusioned today.

But do you just accept your fate?

No, he was unwilling.

Jiang Ming opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes were dark, he would not give up like this, as long as Ah Yue had not completed his marriage to the prince, then everything was possible.

Jiang Ming swept away Fang Cai's decadent appearance, and his fighting spirit ignited again in his eyes.

When he returned to the city and heard the news of the little guy's inquiry, his previous depression was swept away, and he gradually had a trace of confidence in his heart.

The prince was not good at walking, and when he came out of his mother's womb, he fell ill again, and the imperial doctor asserted that he would not live to be twenty-two years old, and that he was not favored.

With such a prince, Jiang Ming felt that he could compete with him, and it was not certain who Ah Yue would marry in the end.

However, although he now has an identity as a lifter, his family is all businessmen, and if he wants to fight with the prince, he can't do it alone.

Jiang Ming waved his hand to let the little guy stand back, and began to close his eyes and think about how to find an ally.
