Chapter 270: I got the money, but my dad won’t give it to me!
Jiang An rolled her eyes at her father. How could he be so cold to the God of Wealth?
She turned her head and smiled warmly, "Ms. Xie, please stand up~"
Xie Chaoyan slowly stood up, her voice so soft that it could squeeze water out of her, "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Miss..."
The little girl smiled adorably, but she muttered in her heart, "It was me who made you get up, why are you thanking my dad?"
Miss Xie looked at Jiang Jichen shyly, again and again, her eyes like a little hook.
Jiang Jichen looked at him so hard that veins throbbed on his forehead.
Jiang An felt the cold air whizzing beside him. He rubbed his arms with his fat paws and looked guilty on his chubby face.
Dad, hold on a little longer.
"Miss Xie...is there something wrong?"
Xie Chaoyan was immersed in the prince's handsome face at the moment, so he could not hear the little girl's voice.
She was young and had never seen Jiang Jichen before, and there were no portraits of the prince circulating in the capital.
All the way to the North, she had been wondering what a king with great military achievements and a large army would look like.
She thought that he must be like those generals who returned to the capital to be awarded titles, with a beard and brute force, eating greasy food at banquets, and having no rules or etiquette at all.
Xie Chaoyan even comforted herself that she would accept her ugly appearance as long as she could stay away from Kyoto and as long as he was willing to treat her well.
Who made her a concubine who was not loved by anyone?
Without a stepmother to pave the way for him and without a father to love him, he can only barely survive on his own.
Xie Chaoyan even felt lucky.
Fortunately, she was the concubine's daughter of the Xie family, so she didn't have to worry all day long, as she might be given away as a gift one day.
But she was unlucky. She was born with a beautiful face and was chosen by the Queen Mother and sent to the north.
Xie Chaoyan suppressed the determination in his eyes and dug his nails into his palms, the pain covering up his pounding heartbeat.
King Zhenguo is her last resort. If she cannot enter the King Zhenguo Palace, only death will be waiting for her!
She was thinking so seriously that she didn't hear Jiang An's call at all.
Or the maid who followed her nagged her from behind and whispered, "The eldest lady is calling you!"
Only then did she come to her senses.
The teenage girl blushed, bowed again, and said softly, "My Lord, please don't blame me, it's the first time Chaoyan has seen the Lord, and I was distracted for a moment..."
She looked up bravely, her eyes full of admiration and sincerity.
"In Kyoto, Chao Yan heard that the prince was unparalleled in bravery and that he killed the enemies as if he were assisted by God. Now that I have seen him today..."
Her voice was winding and full of meaning.
Even Jiang Jichen showed some interest, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was unclear whether it was mockery or pleasure.
He tapped the small table with his fingertips and said in a low voice, "How about meeting today?"
Xie Chaoyan's eyes curved up, showing a bit of girlish playfulness, "After seeing Chaoyan today, I realized that the storytellers in the teahouse were all talking nonsense!"
"Your Highness is a god himself, so why would he need any divine help?"
"Ah…"
Jiang Jichen smiled coldly, "It's rare to find someone as eloquent as you in the Xie family."
When Xie Chaoyan heard the prince mention the Xie family, his expression changed and he knelt down.
Tears instantly filled her eyes, and the speed at which they happened was so fast that Jiang An was shocked.
The girl's feet were dangling a little awkwardly, her buttocks off the seat.
She blinked her eyes. What was going on?
Xie Chaoyan was in tears, looking so pitiful.
"Your Majesty, it is not easy for Chao Yan, a concubine's daughter, to live in a large mansion..."
"The Xie family gave birth to Zhao Yan, and filial piety comes first. Zhao Yan dare not say that she has severed all ties with the Xie family."
"But my father left me, a girl, alone in the north, and never planned for Chaoyan's future."
A tear fell from the corner of the beauty's eye and hit the bluestone slab. She choked with sobs and said, "Now Chaoyan is just using the surname Xie in vain. How can she still be considered a member of the Xie family?"
"I hope Your Majesty will have mercy on Chao Yan..."
"Don't distance yourself from me because of this..."
Jiang An stared.
No, who are you, sister?
What do you mean by estrangement? We weren’t familiar with each other in the first place!
Seeing that Xie Chaoyan wanted to say something else, the little girl slapped her hand to stop her.
"Miss Xie, please stand up and speak first!"
Xie Chaoyan felt a little aggrieved, her eyes clear after being washed by water, as she looked at Jiang Jichen.
The prince himself was also confused at the moment. He was just mocking her, so how could this woman be so talkative?
She was crying while talking, which made him feel overwhelmed!
Seeing that she was still looking at him, Jiang Jichen decisively picked up the teacup.
Given his temper, he would have thrown this man out by now.
But the girl is still thinking about the other person's money.
If he ordered it to be thrown out, the little girl would be angry with him...
After thinking about it, the prince was even more confused!
What can I do? Just bear with it!
Steward Sun saw that his master's hands were so bulging with veins that he was about to crush the teacup.
It's really strange that he is so timid!
He smiled secretly in his heart, winked at Guan Yan, and went to the front yard to find General Xie...
Guan Yan, who received the signal, retreated silently.
Seeing that she didn't get up, the little girl got angry and slapped her on the table.
"It is not lawful for the palace to make guests kneel, can you stand up or not?"
This posture is a bit like asking officials at the city gate whether they will pay the money or not.
Thinking that this little ancestor could crush stones with his bare hands, Xie Chaoyan stood up very tactfully.
She wiped the tears from her cheeks with her hands and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, Chaoyan..."
Jiang An rolled his eyes, "You are not only rude, you are too presumptuous!"
Her voice was so soft that Xie Chaoyan didn't hear it clearly, so he asked, "What did the young lady say?"
The little girl didn't blush or feel nervous, she stroked her chest and said, "It's nothing, An An feels that it's really not easy for my sister!"
"So, what are you doing here?"
Her eyes were burning, and it was written all over: Answer me quickly!
hurry up!
answer!
I!
Tell me quickly, you are here to give me some money!
Xie Chaoyan: "Chaoyan heard that the prince was worried about the lack of money to repair the official road, so she dared to help the prince..."
She held the exquisite brocade box in her hands, a little shy, "As a concubine's daughter, Chaoyan doesn't have much money."
"Here is 40,000 taels, a gift from my father before I left Beijing, along with some jewelry that can be worth some silver. I hope Your Majesty will not despise it."
Forty thousand taels!
Oh my god, this guy is richer than the second prince!
Jiang An's eyes lit up, and he said, "How can this be so embarrassing~"
Jiang Jichen held his forehead with his hand, unable to bear to watch.
The little girl ran over, grabbed the brocade box and held it in her arms, smiling brightly at Xie Chaoyan, "An An, thank you sister on behalf of the people of the North~"
Xie Chaoyan stared at Jiang Jichen, "It is Chaoyan's honor to be able to help His Majesty."
Now that I have the money, I must stop letting anyone worry about my father.
From a distance, Jiang An saw Xie Yunshan approaching.
She chuckled, holding the brocade box in one hand and grabbing her father with the other.
"General Xie is here. Miss Xie is reminiscing with her brother. My father and I won't disturb them. Bye~"
Let's go~
