With his self-evidence so clear, Jiang Fang quickly stood up and confessed, "Your Highness, please forgive me. Your secret guard is currently in my house."
While he was confessing the crime, Chen Jinghuai's expression also changed, but he was not panicked. He just seemed a little surprised at what happened to Jiang Nianjiao, and also blamed himself for the fact that he was not the one who protected Jiang Nianjiao when she was in danger.
His eyes had been glued to Jiang Nianjiao after the lie that Zhao Yanzhen made up. Seeing Jiang Nianjiao turn around and look at him, he immediately blurted out, "Gillian, those people didn't do anything to you, right?"
There was concern visible to the naked eye on his face, and this concern didn't seem fake at all.
Even though Jiang Nianjiao didn't understand what happened just now, following the conversation between her father Jiang Fang and Zhao Yanzhen, she got a rough idea of what happened in Chenliuzhuang.
It has been exposed that he asked Chaolu to pretend to be him. Chao Lu was detained at home by her father.
The other three secret guards may have escaped successfully, but their escape was probably intercepted by Zhao Yanzhen.
Otherwise, after Luohua and the others escaped, they would definitely inform him of the matter as soon as possible and try to rescue Chaolu.
After all, if they don't notify them in time about the situation here, wouldn't they be directly put into a passive situation like this?
And if the three of them were not in Zhao Yanzhen's hands, Zhao Yanzhen would not tell the story so vividly.
Now this man can actually call out the names of the secret guards around him.
But when I thought about Zhao Yanzhen knowing this, he didn't tell me anything.
Jiang Nianjiao felt depressed.
She shook her head at Chen Jinghuai who was concerned about her and said, "I'm fine. Brother Jinghuai, don't worry about me."
Only then did Chen Jinghuai feel at ease.
Hearing Jiang Nianjiao address Chen Jinghuai so affectionately, Zhao Yanzhen suddenly felt a little irritated.
Although he knew that they were still nominally an unmarried couple, Zhao Yanzhen really didn't want them to talk even one more word.
Therefore, Zhao Yanzhen took the initiative and said, "Cousin, did you also hear about this? Did you come here specially?"
Chen Jinghuai then looked at Zhao Yanzhen. He was quite annoyed for a moment and said, "Don't be surprised, Your Highness. I actually heard that Jiaojiao went to Chenliuzhuang that day, and I was a little worried about her, so I wanted to catch up with her carriage. I didn't expect that after I arrived at Chenliuzhuang, After I felt that the woman didn't look like Gillian, I tested her, and then she showed her weakness, so I captured her directly."
Hearing Chen Jinghuai's answer, Jiang Nianjiao felt enlightened.
She asked how her father, who treated her like a weed, could have noticed the difference in her, and how could he have run over to check.
She originally thought it was Yu Se's people who caught Chao Lu.
Unexpectedly, this turned out to be just an own mistake.
Zhao Yanzhen said, "Of course I'm not surprised. Since it was a misunderstanding, I wonder if Jiang Xiang can return my secret guard to me?"
Before Jiang Fang could speak, Jiang Nianjiao immediately answered, "No!"
At present, Zhao Yanzhen has detained three of her secret guards. If she gives away Chao Lu who is already in the Jiang Mansion, she will be truly incompetent.
Jiang Nianjiao's subconscious words only made the two of them look over at the same time.
Jiang Fang's eyes were warning, but Zhao Yanzhen's expression was full of interest: "Jiaojiao, why can't I just get my own secret guard back?"
After Jiang Nianjiao heard what he said, she felt more and more that this man really deserved a beating.
But right now she has no better words to say.
After all, if he exposes Zhao Yanzhen's lies, he will have to find another excuse, and if Zhao Yanzhen tells the truth, his situation will undoubtedly become worse.
But she was really unwilling to let Zhao Yanzhen take him away.
Seeing her acting like this, Jiang Fang couldn't help but reprimanded her, "Don't mess around."
When the two left, when Zhao Yanzhen passed by Jiang Nianjiao, he whispered softly in a voice that only two people could understand, "If Jiaojiao wants my secret guard, I can't give it to you. As long as you tell me With a single word, I, the king, will offer the person to you with my own hands."
When Jiang Nianjiao heard this, she couldn't help but glared at Zhao Yanzhen again.
However, the intimate gesture between the two of them seemed a little uncomfortable in Chen Jinghuai's eyes.
After Zhao Yanzhen finished whispering to Jiang Nianjiao, he said to Jiang Fang, "Mr. Jiang, can I go see my secret guard in person?"
Although Jiang Fang was a little wary of the third prince, because of Jiang Nianjiao's mischief, he could only act more kindly, "That's natural. Your Highness, please come with me."
After the words fell, Jiang Fang walked in front, followed closely by Zhao Yanzhen.
When Jiang Nianjiao saw this, she naturally wanted to follow him. After all, she was also very worried about Chao Lu.
Zhao Yanzhen naturally felt Jiang Nianjiao's approach, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud when he thought that she could only follow him obediently.
It's a pity that this pride has not lasted for half a moment. Jiang Fang, who noticed Jiang Nianjiao following him, suddenly said to Jiang Nianjiao, "You should have a good chat with Jinghuai about your marriage. From now on, don't go to that dangerous place. This How can you, a daughter, get involved in this kind of thing?"
Jiang Nianjiao was about to retort, but Chen Jinghuai had already called out to Jiang Nianjiao, "Gillian, I have something to say to you."
After hearing what Chen Jinghuai said, Jiang Nianjiao also knew that there was a high probability that she would not be able to see Chao Lu.
Therefore, she could only leave with Chen Jinghuai
But not being able to see Chao Lu, Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but feel a little absent-minded. It had to be said that Zhao Yanzhen really knew how to grab all her attention.
"Gillian, my uncle and I have discussed it and decided to set our wedding day in the middle of next month. What do you think?" Chen Jinghuai asked softly. .
Jiang Nianjiao said absently, "I don't have any objections?"
"What words do you want to engrave on the lock?" Chen Jinghuai then asked.
"Anything is fine." Jiang Nianjiao looked in the direction where Zhao Yanzhen disappeared.
"Gillian? Gillian, are you listening to me?" Chen Jinghuai suddenly raised his voice.
Only then did Jiang Nianjiao come to her senses. Looking at Chen Jinghuai who didn't know anything in front of her, Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
"I'm sorry, brother Jinghuai, I feel a little uncomfortable. Can we talk about our affairs tomorrow?"
Looking at Jiang Nianjiao's pale face and embarrassed figure, Chen Jinghuai seemed to blame himself again.
"Gillian, I'm sorry. I failed to protect you. If I had come to you earlier, you wouldn't have been so worried."
Hearing that Chen Jinghuai actually blamed himself, Jiang Nianjiao suddenly felt even more guilty.
"It's okay. It's not because of me. You don't need to take it to heart."
"Gillian, but I am really scared. When I find out that the person is not you and you are missing, I am so afraid that something will happen to you." Chen Jinghuai's face became more and more sincere.
Seeing him looking so lost, Jiang Nianjiao felt that she was a bit weird for a moment.
He was indeed in some danger, but the danger was far less than Chen Jinghuai thought.
And during the short time she spent with Zhao Yanzhen, she actually wavered once.
Thinking of this, Jiang Nianjiao felt more and more guilty that she was guilty. She sighed slightly and tried to give Chen Jinghuai some comfort.
After much deliberation, she finally chose to hug Chen Jinghuai. And rested his head on Chen Jinghuai's chest.
Chen Jinghuai wanted to push Jiang Nianjiao away out of etiquette.
However, Jiang Nianjiao said softly and tiredly, "Brother Jinghuai, don't push me away."
This call only made Chen Jinghuai stop moving. He originally wanted to tell Jiang Nianjiao that they were an unmarried couple now, and everything should be about love and courtesy. Otherwise, let others see her, so as not to damage her reputation.
But after hearing Jiang Nianjiao's words, those etiquette rules were thrown out of his mind. He stopped moving and just said, "Okay."
Even his arm finally landed gently on Jiang Nianjiao's shoulder after a few hesitations.
Feeling Chen Jinghuai's response, Jiang Nianjiao smiled and looked up at Chen Jinghuai and said, "Brother Jinghuai, do you feel my presence? I'm still alive."
When he said this, those soft little hands took the initiative to fall on Chen Jinghuai's face.
Feel that warmth.
Only then did Chen Jinghuai realize that Jiang Nianjiao was actually comforting himself.
I felt Jiang Nianjiao's response, the fear in the past few days, and what I just saw
The doubt he felt when Jiang Nianjiao and Zhao Yanzhen appeared in front of him with their fingers intertwined were all turned into ashes at this moment.
She has herself in her heart and cares about herself.
It's just that there is a warm and affectionate atmosphere here, but Jiang Fang's expression is a little ugly as he passes by. He is not very satisfied with this marriage, and he doesn't want the two of them to get involved secretly before they get married. It seems that before getting married in the future, even if they are allowed to get along in private, they will have to be followed by a maid.
Otherwise, Jiang Nianjiao's bad reputation will sooner or later be added to premarital indiscretions.
And doesn’t the news of this incident mean that Jiang Mansion is not strict in running the family?
Zhao Yanzhen looked at the situation over there. He was extremely unhappy, but at the moment he was not qualified to express his position at all.
Therefore, he felt unhappy, but he still had a smile on his face, but the smile could not reach his cold eyes at all.
"Jiaojiao and my cousin really love each other."
Hearing Zhao Yanzhen's words, Jiang Fang also felt a little embarrassed about his face.
But he had completely forgotten that Jiang Nianjiao and Zhao Yanzhen were holding hands just now.
Jiang Fang was about to remind the two of them to pay attention to the impact, but Zhao Yanzhen only said, "Don't worry, Mr. Jiang, this matter also involves my cousin. It's such a small matter, I won't say anything. What's more, they are married." The day is coming soon. The young couple faces each other every day, and some physical contact is inevitable. Instead of using words to scare us, we might as well arrange for a few more maids and servants to follow them in the future. In this way, they can pay more attention to themselves, and neither can we. Frighten them.”
Zhao Yanzhen took the initiative to resolve the embarrassment, and the proposal was indeed a good one. Jiang Fang thought about it and agreed.
Then the group of them left here quietly. At this time, Jiang Nianjiao had no idea that as long as she was with Chen Jinghuai, she would be followed by a large group of maids and women. The reason why was all because of Zhao Yanzhen's proposal today.
