Chapter 185 When Will Xie Jinglan Stop Deceiving Us?

"Young Master Mo?"

These words startled Xiaoliu for a moment, but she quickly recovered and hurriedly said, "Young Master Mo is safe and sound, Miss, please don't worry. With Steward Xiang and Jasmine around, Young Master Mo is getting even plumper and fairer!"

Hearing this, Jiang Yuyue finally felt relieved. Just now, when she saw Xiao Liu rushing over in a hurry, she was afraid that something had happened to the child, and she was almost worried to death.

After confirming that the child was safe and sound and the misunderstanding had been cleared up, Jiang Yuyue finally asked, "But since Mo'er is safe, why did you suddenly come back today...?"

"Of course, I was worried about you, Miss!"

Xiao Liu looked concerned and spoke urgently, "Today, when I went shopping, I ran into Lai Fu, who works for Steward Xiang. He told me that you were being followed today, which really made me very uneasy."

"Although he comforted me by saying that he had brought you back safely, he couldn't rest easy without seeing you with his own eyes, so he rushed over here."

At this point, Xiaoliu looked apologetic again, "But I never expected that you would misunderstand, Miss, and worry about me for nothing."

After understanding the whole story, Jiang Yuyue also looked helpless, but she knew that Xiao Liu's personality had always been like this, so she didn't blame her too much and just said softly.

Now that you've confirmed my safety, you should go back soon.

Jiang Yuyue said, "You and Jasmine still need to keep a close eye on Mo'er. Now that it's autumn and the weather is getting cooler, you mustn't let him catch a cold."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Liu, contrary to her usual behavior, was quite resolute and refused Jiang Yuyue's request in a very rare manner.

“This servant will not leave.”

Xiao Liu grabbed her hand and said firmly, "Young Master Mo has made meticulous arrangements with Steward Xiang, with several wet nurses taking care of him personally. Even if I go back, I won't be able to help much. Besides, Jasmine is always meticulous. With her and Steward Xiang around, Young Master Mo will definitely not make any mistakes."

“But on the contrary, it’s you, Miss…” Xiao Liu had grown up with Jiang Yuyue, and she paused here, her eyes filled with heartache. “After we left, you were all alone, with no one to talk to. Today you were followed by villains. I really can’t bear to leave you here alone.”

"So no matter what, I will stay with you today. As long as I am by your side, even if we encounter any danger, you will at least have someone to take care of you, right?"

Hearing Xiao Liu's heartfelt words, Jiang Yuyue felt a warmth in her heart and was deeply moved. She couldn't bear to order her to go back.

Moreover, she had planned to travel to the capital anyway, and having someone she was used to by her side would indeed be much more convenient.

"Since you've put it this way, it would be really heartless of me to let you leave now."

Jiang Yuyue smiled and squeezed Xiao Liu's hand back, "Then you can stay and keep me company."

Xiaoliu was overjoyed upon receiving permission. "Thank you so much, Miss!"

……

On the other side, Xie Jinglan stood in the courtyard, watching Jiang Yuyue hurriedly pull Xiao Liu into the house. Although he didn't know what had happened, judging from the situation, the two of them probably wouldn't be able to finish talking for a while. Although he wanted to tell Jiang Yuyue everything as soon as possible, he could only go back to his own courtyard for now.

As soon as Xie Jinglan led Jixiang into the courtyard, Yueying appeared silently.

"Your Highness."

Yueying bowed and reported, "My men who are watching Prince Ning just sent word that he sent someone to follow Miss Jiang today."

Upon hearing this, Xie Jinglan's eyes turned cold, and he immediately exuded a chilling killing intent. Yueying continued, "But Miss Jiang is clever. She shook off Prince Ning's men and did not let them follow her home."

After hearing Yueying's report, Xie Jinglan finally understood why Jiang Yuyue had taken so long to get home today and why she had suddenly changed her clothes. It seemed that it was all to deal with those who were following her.

Although he knew she wouldn't easily fall into such a trap, he still felt a little unhappy thinking about how Jiang Yuyue hadn't mentioned being followed at all.

"Song Yunming really has a death wish."

Xie Jinglan, however, directed his anger at Song Yunming, saying, "I warned him long ago, yet he still dares to plot against the people around me."

Yueying lowered his head, naturally aware of the extraordinary position Miss Jiang held in his prince's heart. Given Prince Ning's actions, if Miss Jiang hadn't been vigilant, she might have inadvertently fallen into his hands…

"Your Highness, shall I send someone to assist you?"

Yueying asked, "We have already ascertained the location of Prince Ning. As long as you give the order, we can capture him alive and bring him to you."

If we're being honest, Xie Jinglan naturally wanted to kill Song Yunming, who had repeatedly acted recklessly, but he wasn't one to act impulsively, and he rejected Yueying's suggestion.

"No need, he should be setting off back to the capital soon."

Xie Jinglan suppressed his anger, only a cold glint flashing in his eyes. "Whatever the score, I'll settle it with him later."

The day of reckoning is fast approaching, but he's not in a hurry. After all, Song Yunming will pay the price for his actions sooner or later.

Jixiang observed his prince's expression from the side, silently mourning for Song Yunming in advance. He knew that the more his prince restrained himself, the more terrifying his counterattack would be.

Upon Xiao Liu's return, she immediately showcased her culinary skills by preparing a large and sumptuous meal for Jiang Yuyue. Looking at the table full of delicious and visually appealing dishes, Jiang Yuyue couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

"You've prepared far too many dishes. It's just the two of us, master and servant, now that it's going to be a waste."

"Two people?"

These words surprised Xiao Liu. "Didn't I see the Third Young Master and Jixiang when I came back just now? Doesn't Miss intend to invite them over for dinner?"

When Xie Jinglan was mentioned, a deep meaning flashed in Jiang Yuyue's eyes. She was being kept in the dark, so she couldn't be bothered to show any goodwill to Xie Jinglan anymore.

She wanted to see just how long Xie Jinglan was going to keep deceiving her!

However, Jiang Yuyue quickly masked her emotions with a smile. She gently patted Xiao Liu's hand, gesturing for her to sit down, and then picked up her wine glass, saying, "We haven't seen each other for a long time, so naturally we should talk more alone. Why let others disturb us?"

These words flattered Xiao Liu, and she immediately forgot about Xie Jinglan. Instead, she quickly sat down and raised her cup to clink with Jiang Yuyue's.

During the meal, Xiao Liu enthusiastically told Jiang Yuyue about all the funny things that had happened to Jiang Qimo recently, which made Jiang Yuyue burst into laughter. The courtyard was filled with laughter all night long.
