Green tea was read, the villain's family begged me to be happy

Chapter 183 Inquiring the Reason

"Old Third, did you make your wife angry?"

Early in the morning, Marquis Zhongyi caught Jiang Chengli and asked him anxiously.

Jiang Chengli shook his head: "I have been summoned to the palace for questioning frequently these days. I leave early and come back late, and I stay in the study all the time. I haven't even seen her, so I have no chance to anger her."

"That's strange. She simply claimed to be sick and couldn't go out. Your mother couldn't find out the reason when she went to visit her. You should take some time today to go and see her." Marquis Zhongyi was worried and reminded her again and again.

Jiang Chengli nodded, and the father and son soon parted ways. When the carriage arrived at the palace gate, he rubbed his brows.

He has been dealing with inquiries from the Emperor recently. Compared to his previous lives, the Emperor reacted greatly to his disappearance.

He didn't know which link went wrong, but as long as the Jiang family men were able to break free from Xing Xiaoya's control, he felt there was hope even if other difficulties arose.

After Jiang Chengli entered the palace, he was not able to see the emperor immediately. He was left in a side hall and was not summoned until the evening. After the emperor asked a few questions, he asked him to write down his experience of amnesia in detail.

When he heard the instruction, he did not dare to be negligent or dissatisfied, and immediately picked up the brush and began to write carefully.

Since he entered the palace, he was required to write it every day. After submitting it, the emperor would ask questions based on the content.

He knew that this was a sign of the Emperor's lack of trust in him, and that he wanted to find his flaws in his words, so he had to concentrate highly.

After being finally released, it was already evening when he returned to the mansion.

When he went to find Xu Wanying, he was unsurprisingly turned away.

For several days, he didn't see anyone until Marquis Zhongyi gave him an ultimatum and he had no choice but to take leave and stay at home. He finally found time to wait for the opportunity.

He waited from morning until almost noon before he was told that Xu Wanying had gotten up.

"I heard that my husband has been looking for me these days. Is there something important?" Xu Wanying was sitting at the table with a table full of lunch in front of her.

It was obvious that she had brunch together and was planning to talk to him about something during the meal.

Jiang Chengli frowned slightly. He was taught not to talk while eating or sleeping, so he was not used to her overly indulgent state.

[Hey, host, Jiang Laosan can't stand your unruly behavior.] The system immediately gave a warning.

However, Xu Wanying did not reply a single word, and remained the same as always, even inviting him to sit down and eat together.

Jiang Chengli sat opposite her. He thought for a moment and said in his most gentle tone, "I left the house on the day of the wedding. After that, a lot of things happened and I treated you very badly. You were sick again these few days, so I wanted to come and see you, but I just couldn't find the right time."

"Thank you for your concern, my husband. I'm fine." Xu Wanying nodded, indulging in the food.

The two of them fell into silence again. Jiang Chengli hesitated for a moment, then picked up the serving chopsticks and picked up a piece of fish-flavored eggplant for her.

Xu Wanying paused slightly at his sudden action, but soon regained her composure.

[Ahhh, how could he pick up food for you? He didn't pick up food for Xing Xiaoya that day. Could he really be in love with you? Host, you are not allowed to eat it. If you eat it, you will die faster! ]

She didn't want to eat it at first, but when she heard the system's howling accusations, she suddenly became rebellious and put the eggplant directly into her mouth.

"It tastes good." Xu Wanying raised her head and smiled at him.

From the system's perspective, this is seduction, and it is even more outrageous at the moment.

[Ahhh, host, are you really looking for death? ]

Unfortunately, no matter how the system threw a tantrum, Xu Wanying simply ignored it.

[Host, I get it. You are just giving up now, right? You know that you will die sooner or later if you make room for Xing Xiaoya, so you are going against the plot now, right? ]

Thanks to the system's constant chatter, Jiang Chengli finally understood what was going on.

He couldn't help but narrow his eyes. It turned out that it was this cunning system that revealed Xu Wanying's fate in front of her.

However, her ending had actually been changed long ago. In the hundreds of lives he had experienced, Xu Wanying died very early in each one and had no chance to see him and Xing Xiaoya at all.

After listening to the system's nagging for a long time, he could understand that perhaps this plot arrangement was intended to keep his body and mind pure and to remain loyal to Xing Xiaoya.

Oh, that's ridiculous.

"If you like it, eat more and stay healthy. This way, you can live a long and happy life together like what matchmaker said when we got married." Jiang Chengli picked up some more food for her and soothed her in a gentle tone.

The man who always had a cold face, now had a slight smile on his face, and his whole body looked like a spring breeze.

Even Xu Wanying, who was used to seeing beautiful women and handsome men in the entertainment industry, was a little dazed at this moment.

It is true that such a handsome and gentle man is really irresistible.

[Ahhh, no, Jiang Laosan, what are you doing? You are Xing Xiaoya's licking dog, not Xu Wanying's dog, did you recognize the wrong master? ]

Xu Wanying suddenly said: [System, I dare not let him be a dog. This is a dog with rolling eyes. If you don't raise it well, it will kill its master. He has killed Xing Xiaoya twice, and you are the only one who treats him as a licking dog. ]

[Host, you finally pay attention to me. No, why did you say the first sentence to speak up for Jiang Lao San? Are you in love with him too?] The system breathed a sigh of relief, but then it felt something was wrong and became even more nervous.

[You are a system, how can you still be so emotional? Do you have nothing else to do except love all day? You fall in love with someone again as soon as you open your eyes, you are a complete psychopath.] Xu Wanying said unhappily.

She didn't want to pay attention to the system, not only because she knew the ending, but also because she didn't want to talk to an idiot like him.

If I talk too much, I feel like I'm going to become a moron.

"Third Master, Third Madam, someone from the front yard came to deliver a message saying that the princess has come to the mansion and specifically wants to see you two." A maid came in from outside to deliver the message.

As soon as the words fell, the two parties did not react, but the system became excited.

[Ahahaha, host, you didn't listen to me and helped Xing Xiaoya. The world couldn't stand it anymore and gave her a golden finger again. Wait, I'm here to teach you a lesson! ]

"Princess, please wait for a moment. Madam is not fully recovered yet. Please treat her to tea first." Jiang Chengli spoke slowly, without any intention of currying favor with Princess Zhaoyang.

Even though Princess Zhaoyang was a favorite of the emperor, Jiang Chengli was not afraid at all.

After the maid who delivered the message left, Jiang Chengli asked someone to serve Xu Wanying a bowl of soup.

"Wait until you've finished your meal and digest it before going over." He made the final decision.

The couple finished their lunch face to face in silence and harmony. After eating, they chatted for a while before packing up and going to the front hall.

When the two arrived, the atmosphere in the front hall was a little tense. It was obvious that Princess Zhaoyang was very unhappy with their neglect. If Xing Xiaoya hadn't been there to comfort her, she might have rushed to the backyard to look for someone.

Of course, half of her aggressive attitude was acted out. After all, this was the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness, the residence of a military general, and they would not allow her to go on making trouble.
