A Three Inch Adorable Wife Hidden in the Sleeve of the Chu King - Chapter 45

Chapter 45

Whether Zhu Yan can become the palm supervisor is still unknown, but he won’t be able to leave the ground within three months.

There is no skilled doctor in Kaihe County, so Zhu Yan needs to be transferred back to Yanjing City as soon as possible for treatment by the imperial physician.

The attendants were both afraid and resentful of Jiang Xiaoxiao, but they dared not show any disrespect on their faces.

They did not want, nor did they dare to become the second Zhu Yan who got beaten up.

Coming out of the inn, Yang Ershun was particularly excited.

“Jiang Jiejie, the fight you had today was so amazing! Will you teach me that too in the future? Can we start tomorrow?”

The thought of being able to beat the enemy so badly that they scream made Yang Ershun’s chubby face full of anticipation.

Dean Gu was still feeling lingering fear, “You really scared me just now, Jiang Miss, are you really okay?”

Even if you weren’t hit on the skin because of the speed, there must have been some internal injuries, right?

Jiang Xiaoxiao truthfully replied, “At the beginning, when Zhu Yan used all his strength, I was indeed affected, but he was seriously injured, and gradually his strength waned. I found the loophole and launched a counterattack without hurting myself.”

Dean Gu patted his chest, “That’s good, that’s good.”Ne/w novel chapt𝒆rs are published on no/vel(/bin(.)co/m

Previously, under the competition stage, Yang Ershun’s attention was all on the stage, and Dean Gu could still quietly shout “Your Highness,” but now he couldn’t.

He looked at Xie Xun, “The restaurant we went to this morning still has a lot of fresh dishes, shall we go and try them later?”

“No need,” Xie Xun said, “It’s getting late, we should go home.”

Dean Gu did not insist further.

He remembered that Your Highness had promised to cook something delicious for Jiang Xiaoxiao at the inn to cheer her up.

Although it was frustrating, the dignified Third Prince of Yan country had actually become a cook, but he had to admit that Jiang Xiaoxiao’s ability was indeed unexpected.

Having such a talented person by Your Highness’s side, Dean Gu felt relieved.

Xie Xun took Jiang Xiaoxiao and Yang Ershun to the market and let Jiang Xiaoxiao choose a bunch of ingredients.

It would take quite an effort to return to the county, and it was already late afternoon. Xie Xun didn’t want to waste time and planned to hire a fast horse carriage.

Before they entered the carriage shop, they saw the coachman from this morning driving the carriage over, smiling, “Young Master Gu, Miss Jiang…”

Seeing Xie Xun looking at him, the coachman explained, “I haven’t left all this time. I saw you appearing just now and guessed that you were about to go back. Get on the carriage!”

After saying that, he kindly got down to put the footstool in place.

Xie Xun didn’t refuse, and the few of them got on the carriage one after another.

Back in Shi Mo Village, it was already evening, and the villagers working in the fields were all rushing back home.

Xie Xun was never well-received in the village, and in the past, when these people saw him, they would only keep their distance.

However, today, they greeted him for the first time, “Xie Xiaolang, what did you buy, such a big package?”

The village chief’s incident in the morning had spread throughout the village, and now when Xie Xun was mentioned, people immediately thought of the seemingly delicate and soft but actually deeply hidden little girl by his side.

Knowing that Jiang Xiaoxiao was a master, who would dare to offend Xie Xun?

In this world, there are many types of people you shouldn’t offend, and one of them is a sorcerer.

They can seek revenge on anyone, even without personally taking action, just by casually adjusting the Feng Shui layout or even drawing a talisman, they can make someone’s home restless, or even cause harm invisibly.

Xie Xun understood very well what these people were thinking.

He didn’t pay any attention to that woman.

Upon returning home, Xie Xun washed his hands and headed towards the kitchen.

Yang Ershun knew there was good food today and was planning to mooch off a meal, but Xie Xun took him to start a fire instead.

Although the little guy was clumsy, he knew how to start a fire.

After stuffing some straw into the stove, Yang Ershun turned to Xie Xun and asked, “Can you fight?”

Xie Xun ignored his nonsense.

Yang Ershun felt frustrated, “If you can’t fight, then it means you’re not tough, and if you’re not tough, how did Sister Jiang marry you?”

Xie Xun replied, “Because I don’t go around asking people if they can fight.”

“Do you drink?” Yang Ershun continued, “Sister Jiang was so amazing today, she defeated the bad guys, we should celebrate with a drink!”

Seven-year-old Yang Ershun had already secretly learned how to drink behind his father’s back.

Thinking back to the last time he drank and lost control, not remembering anything afterwards, Xie Xun didn’t say he couldn’t drink, but instead said, “I’m not someone who likes to drink.”

“What?” Yang Ershun didn’t believe him, “But I saw a jar on your family’s table on Mid-Autumn Festival!”

Xie Xun gave him a look, “The person who brought the alcohol was eventually thrown out.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Ershun remembered, indeed there was someone that day, named something like Chen Sixi?

“Never mind.” Although a bit disappointed, if Sister Jiang didn’t like it, he could refrain from drinking in the future.

At dinner, all the dishes were Jiang Xiaoxiao’s favorites.

The portions were far beyond the normal serving for three people.

However, Yang Ershun didn’t find it surprising, he even thought it was normal.

Jiang Xiaoxiao had fought so hard during the day, she should eat more, eating more would help her grow taller… oh no, develop skills!

Yang Ershun was the only one among all those who had seen Jiang Xiaoxiao eat, who didn’t show a surprised expression.

Xie Xun looked at him and squinted.

After dinner, Xie Xun didn’t let Yang Ershun stay a moment longer, and directly kicked him out.

Yang Ershun was completely puzzled, “Why did you suddenly kick me out, from now on, don’t call you Xie Xun, call you Xie Lunatic!”

Inside, Jiang Xiaoxiao was also puzzled, “Why did you suddenly drive Ershun away?”

Xie Xun replied, “You’re tired today, you should rest, him staying would only disturb you.”

“Oh.” With Jiang Xiaoxiao’s cognitive abilities, she couldn’t even notice Xie Xun’s abnormality.

The daytime fighting had indeed consumed a lot of physical energy, and Jiang Xiaoxiao went straight to bed after taking a hot bath.

Xie Xun went out to close the courtyard gate, and from a distance, he saw someone carrying an oil lamp coming towards him.

As he got closer, he could see that it was Mrs. Wang, Yang Wei’s mother.

Mrs. Wang was carrying a basket of eggs, and upon seeing Xie Xun, her face lost the arrogance from the morning, and she smiled, “Xie Xiaolang, what happened this morning was my fault, take these eggs, consider it as my way of apologizing to you.”

Before today, in the entire Shi Mo Village, Mrs. Wang was the most adept at orchestrating rumors about Xie Xun.

Many of the negative rumors about Xie Xun were mostly fabricated by her.

Now that it has been confirmed that there is a master by Xie Xun’s side, even the village chief’s son has become his disciple, Mrs. Wang no longer dares to act recklessly.

However, she couldn’t bear to lose face, not wanting to be seen by others in the eastern part of the village apologizing to Xie Xun, fearing that she would be laughed at early the next morning, so she specifically chose the evening.

But as soon as she finished speaking, she realized something was wrong. Several villagers had unknowingly gathered behind her, both men and women, old and young, each holding something in their hands.

Mrs. Wang: “…”
