Chapter 436 I Will Make It Up to You
After the two of them had a few drinks, Jiang Ningwan remembered the familiar figure she saw today.
Curiously, he asked, "Besides Xie Yongan, who else is here today? I think I saw Qin Beihuang."
There were too many people at the time, so she was only paying attention to Xie Chenyuan. She took a quick glance and felt that he looked somewhat similar, but she was not sure.
Xie Chenyuan nodded, "It's him!"
Jiang Ningwan was startled. When did Qin Beihuang come? Wasn't he at Prince Yi's mansion pretending to be Qin Suyi's death?
It turned out to be a cover.
"How did he find you?"
Xie Chenyuan said seriously, "He told me that my sister asked him to come find me."
"When he was changing clothes, he moved my box. It seemed like he was targeting the ice silkworm."
Jiang Ningwan's eyebrows jumped, and she quickly said, "Your sister doesn't even know him! He lied to you, luckily you didn't fall for it!"
But how could Qin Beihuang be one step faster than her?
Logically speaking, they should have received the news of Xie Chenyuan's appearance at about the same time.
"Fortunately, I was careful." Xie Chenyuan sighed.
After the two finished dinner, they discussed what to do next.
"Xie Yongan didn't come, but he knows you're here. If you go to Dayan from here, you'll definitely be discovered as soon as you enter Dayan. Do you need my help?"
Although she didn't know how to help, she could cooperate with Xie Chenyuan as long as Xie Chenyuan arranged a plan.
But Xie Chenyuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've been hiding for so long and Xie Yongan hasn't found me. It's impossible for him to find me when I return to Dayan this time."
"I can't possibly act alone. I'll set off at daybreak."
Although Jiang Ningwan was worried, she also knew that Xie Chenyuan had his own abilities.
"Then you must be careful, your sister is still waiting for your news."
Xie Chenyuan nodded, then took out a jade pendant from his arms and handed it to her.
"Please give this to my sister. When she sees it, she'll know I'm safe. It'll serve as a reminder for her."
In fact, he himself was not sure.
What if I couldn't return to the capital, what if I died before seeing my father, or what if the ice silkworm didn't work.
There are too many unknowns and risks, each of which is fatal.
Jiang Ningwan accepted the jade pendant and said, "Okay, I'll bring it to her."
I wanted to arrange accommodation for Xie Chenyuan, but he refused.
After they separated from the restaurant, she no longer knew Xie Chenyuan's whereabouts.
This is also good, it is good for both parties.
Xie Chenyuan is very cautious.
I arrived at the inn and just went upstairs to rest.
"A room upstairs." Qin Beihuang's voice suddenly came.
Jiang Ningwan was startled and looked back.
His eyes just happened to meet Qin Beihuang's.
He was dusty and covered in frost and snow. He looked at the neat figure, her black and red skirt lifted by the night wind. She was motionless, but seemed to be dancing in his heart.
Jiang Ningwan frowned, suddenly worried about Xie Chenyuan. Xie Chenyuan said he would set off again tomorrow, hoping that they would not run into each other.
"You are still so cold and heartless. I was almost buried by the avalanche." Qin Beihuang teased in a relaxed tone.
Jiang Ningwan smiled coldly, "Isn't it what you deserve to be buried?"
"He said he was heartbroken by Qin Suyi's death, but he didn't expect to come all the way to the North."
Hearing her defensive tone, Qin Beihuang smiled and said, "I know you are doubting me, but I didn't do anything bad to Xie Chenyuan. I saved him."
"I guess Xie Chenyuan told you."
Jiang Ningwan folded her arms across her chest, leaning against the railing with a disdainful smile, "You did tell me, so what? If you didn't have some ulterior motive, why would you travel thousands of miles to Xuanshan to rescue Xie Chenyuan?"
Qin Beihuang's tone was somewhat helpless: "I do have a plan. If I say that I saved Xie Chenyuan for you, would you believe it?"
Jiang Ningwan just felt sick at the sight of that affectionate look.
She scoffed, "Do you think I believe it?"
She turned around and went into the room.
Qin Beihuang called her again: "It's quite lively outside, do you have time to go out for a walk?"
"No time."
"I have business to discuss with you."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ningwan paused.
Can Qin Beihuang talk business now?
She wanted to see what Qin Beihuang wanted to talk about, so she went downstairs and walked on the street with Qin Beihuang.
This is the border between the two countries and is also the most bustling and prosperous town on the border. There are many people doing business, so it is also very lively at night.
"Tell me, what business?" Jiang Ningwan asked coldly.
Qin Beihuang suddenly ran to a rare stone stall and said, "Look at this night-shining pearl. It's so big."
Jiang Ningwan remained silent.
The merchant, dressed in exotic attire, said with a smile, "Sir, you have good taste! This is a Night-Shining Pearl from the South China Sea. It's only been decades since we've come across one this big!"
Qin Beihuang asked, "How much is this?"
"Three hundred taels!"
Qin Beihuang bought it without any hesitation.
Holding the night-shining pearl in the box, he walked over to Jiang Ningwan and said, "Do you like it? You always like to read at night, and this won't hurt your eyes."
Looking back on the years he had been married to Jiang Ningwan, there were too many misunderstandings between them. After Jiang Ningwan took the Ningjin formula, she was always alone at night.
Whenever he passed by, he would see Jiang Ningwan sitting by the window reading and writing, with a weak cough in the cold winter.
It's heartbreaking.
But at that time, he was blinded and treated Jiang Ningwan coldly for many years.
Jiang Ningwan glanced at the fist-sized night-shining pearl and smiled coldly, "Do you think I need these things? Or do you want to use them to do business with me?"
"That's not enough."
In her previous life, she often read books and wrote letters at night, not because she had some leisure time, but because she was writing letters to ask for help from people.
In order to obtain clues and evidence of her grandfather's wrongful conviction, she asked many people for help. In order to please them and have a few words with them, she could only read books desperately to understand things she did not understand.
I have to take care of all the affairs in the house during the day, so I can only watch it at night.
If possible, who wouldn’t want to lie down in a warm bed early in the cold winter night?
But now, she no longer needs to study late at night.
It's just strange. She was reborn after Qin Beihuang returned from the battlefield. During the two years of their marriage, Qin Beihuang was on the battlefield and not at home. How did he know that she liked to read at night?
Did you hear it from the maids in the mansion?
It's hard to believe that he still remembered to ask about these things.
Qin Beihuang held the Night Pearl in his hand and said sincerely, "I know you don't lack these things now. As long as you give me a chance, I will make up for it bit by bit."
"It's not the money that matters, it's the thought that matters, isn't it?"
"Uncle Emperor is a powerful figure, so I guess he doesn't buy you jewelry very often, because you don't need it."
“Just like I used to be.”
He regretted very much that he had not treated Ning Wan well and caused her to suffer so much.
Obviously she is the one he should cherish for the rest of his life.
Jiang Ningwan sneered, "Don't compare yourself to your uncle. You're not even as good as one of his toes."
She has no shortage of jewellery, but Qin Shuangchi will carefully select the jewellery to match her clothes every day. She can sense whether it is perfunctory or attentive.
Is Qin Beihuang worthy of telling her this?
"If it's just these messy things, then we have nothing to talk about."
Jiang Ningwan turned and left.
Qin Beihuang felt like needles were pricking his heart.
He hurriedly called her: "I have something important to do!"
"It's about the shop in Canglong City."
Jiang Ningwan then turned around.
Qin Beihuang said seriously: "When I went to Canglong before, I bought a lot of shops. Although not as much as you bought, it was still not a small amount."
"Canglong's business is picking up a bit now, but I'm not cut out for business, so I want to sell those shops to you. See if you're willing to take them."
