Seeing him, Liu Xin’s eyes lit up with joy, but thinking of the people chasing her, she ran in a different direction. She could not implicate the Jiang family anymore.
However, Jiang Changbai watched Liu Xin’s retreating figure, furrowing his brow. All he saw in Liu Xin’s eyes was fear.
At this time, the sound of hoofbeats reached his ears, and Jiang Changbai saw Pei Wu riding towards them.
Seeing him, Jiang Changbai frowned.
Noticing him chasing in Liu Xin’s direction, Jiang Changbai followed directly.
Pei Wu was on horseback, spotting Liu Xin’s figure, he shouted loudly, “Stop!”
Hearing this, Liu Xin was startled and fell to the ground.
Pei Wu, seeing this scene, revealed a touch of gloominess in his eyes. He reached out, intending to pull Liu Xin onto his horse, but someone stopped him.
“What do you think you’re doing?”
Jiang Changbai extended his hand, directly blocking Pei Wu, his eyes full of coldness.
Seeing the sudden appearance of Jiang Changbai, Pei Wu frowned, while Liu Xin showed excitement.
Seeing Jiang Changbai dismount, she didn’t hesitate and quickly hid behind him.
Watching the scene, Pei Wu darkly said, “Young General, this person is wanted by Prince Qing. You…”
“As I understand it, Prince Qing has been demoted to a provincial prince by the Emperor. You should change your address.”
“You?”
As if completely disregarding the anger in Pei Wu’s eyes, Jiang Changbai continued, “I have some idea of Prince Qing’s plans, but a noble prince scheming against a weak woman isn’t quite gentlemanly, is it?”
“Do you intend to oppose my master, the prince?”
“If Guard Pei insists on thinking so, then it is indeed the case.”
With these words, Jiang Changbai mounted his horse and extended his hand to Liu Xin.
Seeing his extended hand, Liu Xin paused, and after a moment of silence, she took Jiang Changbai’s hand.
With a little force, he pulled Liu Xin directly onto the horse.
Letting Liu Xin sit in front of him, Jiang Changbai said to Pei Wu, “I’m taking her. If Prince Qing wants her, he can come to my mansion.”
Hearing this, Pei Wu prepared to unsheathe his sword, but seeing his movements, Jiang Changbai scoffed, “Guard Pei, although you are a top-notch expert, you’re no match for me.”
Leaving these words behind, Jiang Changbai rode away with Liu Xin.
After a distance, Jiang Changbai slowed down.
At this moment, Liu Xin looked at him and spoke, “Young Master Jiang, could you please send me back to the Liu Mansion?”
“If I send you back to the Liu Mansion, Prince Qing’s men will take you away immediately.”
“But if 1 go to the General’s Mansion, it will bring trouble to the household.”
“No worries.”
Hearing Liu Xin’s words, Jiang Changbai replied calmly.
As they spoke, they arrived at the General’s Mansion. Jiang Changbai took Liu Xin directly to the elegant garden, where Jiang Peihuan was speaking with Liu Xiu.
Hearing the voice, the two went to the main hall.
“Elder brother? Xin Er?”
Seeing Jiang Changbai and Liu Xin enter together, confusion filled Jiang Peihuan’s eyes.
“Xin Er, didn’t you leave? How come…?”
“Third Aunt, Miss Liu ran into people from Prince Qing’s Mansion on the road. I think you should let her stay in the garden for some time.”
“What?”
After hearing about the incident from Jiang Changbai, Liu Xiu looked worried.
“Xin Er, didn’t your cousin come to pick you up?”
At this point, Jiang Peihuan suddenly spoke. Liu Xin, whose face was already strained, looked even more distressed upon hearing this.
After a brief explanation of the situation, Liu Xin said sorrowfully, “I hope Auntie won’t publicize this matter.”
“I used to think that Ge Jun was a good-natured man, but now I know he’s just a coward. He doesn’t deserve you.”
Liu Xiu’s eyes were filled with anger.
Seeing the sadness in Liu Xin’s eyes, she comforted in a soft voice, “It’s okay, Xin Er. Ge Jun doesn’t deserve you. I will ask Elder Brother to find you a suitable husband later.”
“Aunt, I’m afraid it’s not possible now.”
Facing the puzzled expressions, Liu Xin repeated the words of Xiao Junhao and Ge Jun, then continued, “I’m afraid that after this, no one will dare to marry me.”
“Who says so?”
At this point, a deep voice suddenly sounded.
The person who spoke was Jiang Changbai.
Hearing his voice, Jiang Peihuan, Liu Xiu, and Liu Xin all looked at him.
Facing their gaze, Jiang Changbai directly said, “People like Ge Jun are nothing but a bunch of cowards.”
“Miss Liu, if you are willing, you can marry me.”
“Elder brother?”
“Changbai?”
Before Liu Xin could respond, Jiang Peihuan and Liu Xiu couldn’t help but exclaim.
At this moment, Jiang Changbai did not look at the two people, but directly at Liu Xin, “Miss Liu, if I dare to marry you, would you be willing to marry me?”
“Mr. Jiang, this joke is…”
“I’m not joking.”
Before Liu Xin could finish her sentence, Jiang Changbai cut her off.
At this, even Liu Xiu’s face changed. She stepped forward and blocked Liu Xin, looked at Jiang Changbai, and said softly, “Changbai, this is a serious matter. If you really want to marry Xin Er, how can I explain this to my brother and sister-in-law?”
Liu Xin was her niece, and in Liu Xiu’s eyes, she was absolutely wonderful.
But Liu Xiu was self-aware. If she handed Liu Xin to Jiang Changbai, the whole Jiang family might blame her.
Let’s not talk about others, even Jiang Ren would disagree.
However, after hearing these words, Jiang Changbai laughed, “Aunt, I can make my own decisions about my marriage, no need for my parents to explain anything.”
Seeing that Liu Xiu was about to say something, Jiang Changbai interrupted her first, “Aunt, let’s talk about this later. You better calm Miss Liu first.”
“I shall take my leave now.”
With that, Jiang Changbai left the garden, and Jiang Peihuan quickly followed him.
“Elder brother?”
Hearing the voice behind him, Jiang Changbai stopped.
Looking at Jiang Peihuan who had come to him, he raised an eyebrow, “Huan Er, are you here to persuade me to give up this idea?”
“If I persuade you, will you give up?”
“Of course not.”
Hearing Jiang Peihuan’s voice, Jiang Changbai answered subconsciously.
Jiang Peihuan smiled, “Then I won’t persuade you.”
But after these words fell, the smile on Jiang Peihuan’s face disappeared, replaced by seriousness. She looked at her elder brother and asked softly, “Elder Brother, are you serious about Miss Liu?”
“Yes.”
Jiang Changbai was silent for a moment before nodding.
His determination was conveyed in that single word. Hearing this, Jiang Peihuan laughed, “Elder Brother, then you must be prepared for a fight..”
