Chapter 173 Sending the Young Prince Away

Jixiang felt a little nervous, unsure how to explain the origin of the smell. She quickly turned her gaze to her prince, wondering how he would explain the matter, but Xie Jinglan remained calm and composed.

"My miraculous recovery must be due to the blessing of some unknown deity or Buddha, so I naturally have to express my gratitude."

Xie Jinglan said casually, "I just lit a few incense sticks in the courtyard, praying to Buddha to let me live a few more days, and that's how I got a little bit of the flavor."

Hearing this, Jiang Yuyue felt that he seemed to have something to say, but she still smiled and said, "Since you have such good intentions, it's a pity that you didn't come with me to Wanfu Temple to offer incense today."

Upon hearing the mention of Wanfu Temple, Xie Jinglan's expression changed slightly, and he stopped paying attention to her altogether.

Seeing the sudden awkward silence, Jiang Yuyue didn't think she had said anything wrong, but judging from his current attitude, she guessed that he was probably still being stubborn and unwilling to talk to her, so she didn't bother to continue trying to win his favor.

She was exhausted today, and it would be better to go back and rest early than to stay here and have to put up with Xie Jinglan's bad mood.

Watching Jiang Yuyue storm off, Jixiang cautiously observed his prince's expression. Seeing his displeasure, he secretly sighed.

He was aware of what had happened today. His Highness had tried to help Miss Jiang indirectly, but unexpectedly, he had been outmaneuvered. If he hadn't been prepared, he would have almost suffered a loss at the hands of Prince Ning. No one would feel good in such a situation.

But it's all His Highness's fault for not revealing his identity. Miss Jiang's test of "Prince Jing" can't be attributed to "Xie Jinglan," can it?

However, keeping it a secret like this is not a long-term solution.

Ji Xiang felt even more troubled. Now that Miss Jiang's cooperation with "Prince Jing" was becoming more and more in-depth, she might discover one day that Prince Jing was right beside her. Based on his understanding of Miss Jiang, he felt that if she took the initiative to discover this, something bad would happen.

Yesterday's journey had truly exhausted Jiang Yuyue. After taking a shower, she fell asleep immediately and slept until the afternoon of the next day. When she opened her eyes and saw the sun setting in the west, her eyelids twitched suddenly.

"Xiao Liu!"

Xiao Liu, who was outside, pushed open the door and entered. "What is it, Miss?"

Seeing that Xiao Liu reacted normally, Jiang Yuyue was slightly relieved, but still quickly asked, "Has anyone come near our courtyard?"

This question confused Xiao Liu. "Miss, our courtyard is so secluded, even a thief couldn't find his way here. There's no one here."

Hearing this, Jiang Yuyue felt relieved, but was even more surprised.

Does Prince Jing truly not care about yesterday's events?

Although she found it hard to believe that Prince Jing was so magnanimous, Jiang Yuyue was also somewhat relieved.

Generally speaking, if Prince Jing really cared about this matter, he would have taken revenge on me as soon as possible. How could he have dragged it out for so long without making a move?

In this way, Jiang Yuyue truly made up her mind to hand over the treasure to Prince Jing, but she did not completely let her guard down.

After all, the reason why Prince Jing has not made any move may be that he has not yet obtained the treasure in his hands, so she still has to be careful. Moreover, this matter is of great importance, and she cannot gamble the lives of everyone around her with Prince Jing's temper.

Especially her Mo'er.

"To the housekeeper."

Jiang Yuyue walked out of the house and saw the housekeeper teasing Jiang Qimo in Jasmine's arms. The housekeeper's smile widened as he watched Jiang Yuyue come out.

"What are your orders, Miss?"

"I have some things to handle on my own."

Jiang Yuyue said, "I'd appreciate it if you could find a secluded place to stay these next two days. Xiao Liu, Jasmine, and Mo'er, along with you, can all stay somewhere else."

These words caused the butler's smile to freeze, and his tone became somewhat anxious.

"Miss, what are you doing now?"

She subconsciously tried to dissuade the housekeeper, saying, "Wouldn't it be wonderful if our family could live together happily together? Besides, Young Master Mo is still so young, how can he be separated from his mother? Didn't you say that we'd go to the capital to visit Master and Madam in a couple of days?"

Upon hearing this, Jasmine also looked worried, and Jiang Qimo in her arms pouted as if he had sensed something, and burst into tears.

When Mo'er cried, Jiang Yuyue felt even more reluctant to part with her child. What mother would want to leave her child? If it weren't for the fear that Prince Jing might suddenly turn against her, she would never have let Mo'er leave her side.

"Driven by circumstances."

Jiang Yuyue suppressed her reluctance and said, "You know me, I know what I'm doing. We're only separated temporarily. Once I've finished dealing with things here, I'll immediately reunite with you and we'll go to the capital together."

"As for Mo'er..."

Jiang Yuyue looked at the baby in the swaddling clothes with affection, "Xiao Liu and Mo Li are both trustworthy. I feel at ease entrusting Mo'er to them. Moreover, with Steward Xiang here, Mo'er will certainly not be wronged."

The butler had watched her grow up, so he knew her temperament and was also aware that his young mistress had been secretly plotting something all along. Thinking that it would be useless to persuade her, he sighed and agreed.

As always, the steward was efficient in handling matters, and two days later, another place of residence had been arranged. Under the cover of night, the group packed their luggage, boarded the carriage, and hurriedly left, leaving only Jiang Yuyue in the once lively courtyard.

Although Xie Jinglan had ordered that they no longer needed to keep a close watch on Jiang Yuyue's whereabouts, Jixiang still kept an eye on the movements in the neighboring courtyard. Hearing a rather loud noise in the middle of the night, she secretly went over to take a look and witnessed Xiaoliu Moli leaving with Mo'er Gongzi.

This left Jixiang somewhat dumbfounded. Where was Miss Jiang going to send the young prince?

"Your Highness, it's not good!"

Jixiang hurriedly returned to the house and immediately reported the matter to Xie Jinglan, "Miss Jiang has sent the young master away!"

"Sent away?"

Xie Jinglan keenly noticed the words Ji Xiang used, "And what about her?"

"Miss Jiang didn't leave, but Jasmine and Xiao Liu took the young master away in a carriage!"

Ji Xiang said anxiously, "Even Steward Xiang isn't in the courtyard! Only Miss Jiang is still staying next door!"

Upon hearing that Jiang Yuyue hadn't left, Xie Jinglan immediately felt relieved, while Jixiang grew increasingly anxious as she looked at his expression.

"Your Highness? Should we send Yueying and the others to follow and check? What if the young prince disappears without a trace?"

Xie Jinglan remained calm and composed. It is said that a parent's love for their child is deep, and Jiang Yuyue has always loved her child dearly. She would certainly not let the child be in danger. At this moment, sending the child away means either sending him to her parents' place or changing his residence.

Even if the child is truly missing, as long as Jiang Yuyue stays here, she will eventually go to see the child.
