Holy Dragon Totem - Chapter 30

Actually Jiang Yunning and the others knew what was happening on the side of Jiang Zizai.

When Jiang Zizai returned back to the Great Jiang King Manor alone, they also rushed over.

“How did you come back? They released you?” Jiang Yunning asked anxiously. She had many things on her heart so she looked really worried.

“Let’s talk when we return.”

After heading back to the Great Jiang King Manor, Jiang Zizai described to them what had happened.

“I thought that they released you on their own accord…” Jiang Yunning lowered her head, her eyes filled with disappointment.

“I have something to ask you.”
Jiang Zizai brought her into his father’s reading room, the two of them sat down separated by down tea utensils.

“What is going on with Jiang Junxie?” Looking at her lost and down expression, his heart was filled with rage. Of course it wasn’t towards her but him..

“I…” She hesitated a little.

“Since if you have any problems just say it out. Now that father and mother aren’t here we will have to take it together.” Jiang Zizai placed his hands onto her shoulders to let her calm down.

She was a gentle character and had never suffered much hardship. The world was really vicious and dangerous, she was too pure and was easily bullied by others.

Only then did Jiang Yunning speak up.

“During the interrogation that day they rose up such a request. If I was willing to agree Nangong Que would release mother and not find trouble with us. But if I don’t agree they would torture us such that we won’t be able to have any piece. Jiang Junxie is Nangong Que’s disciple and he said that this was what Nangong Que wanted. If I married him then it would also make it easier for Jiang Shang to inherit the Qilin King position.”

“I still haven’t agreed to their demands, as expected they immediately sent you into Xiongsha Jail. I heard that you were having a tough time inside every day and night.” Looking at Jiang Zizai’s wounds, all the more she believed those words to be true.

“So you agreed?” Jiang Zizai was a little furious. He felt that she was too cowardly.

Jiang Yunning shook her head and said, “No. After you went it they came to find me every few days. A few days back Nangong Que and Jiang Shang all came and brought many people, directly saying they were here for the engagement. Although I didn’t agree but I didn’t reject it. That was because if I did I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to see you…”

She had no one to help her now and she wasn’t a strong person. All those people mixed together directly coming over to request a marriage, how would she dare to reject. They were just bullying and insulting a weak woman.

“Shameless!”

Jiang Zizai gritted his teeth.

As expected they announced the matter one-sidedly, it was probably announced out already.

If Jiang Zizai wasn’t here, Jiang Yunning would be the only person during the marriage dead and she wouldn’t dare to fight back.

As for Queen Ruohua, Nangong Que would definitely use various methods to block the news from spreading to her.

“How long is there left?”

“The initial agreement was a month and a half later.”

Jiang Zizai slowly calmed down.

“It is obviously about Huangtian Pass but why do they seem to target you? Nangong Que once his disciple to marry you so he spent so much effort to lock mother up?”

What was their goal?

Wasn’t Nangong Que on orders from the emperor to investigate? If there was no proof he couldn’t do anything to Queen Ruohua.

“Maybe it is to help Jiang Shang become Qilin King. If his son marries me then it would be like the son in law of the Purple Qilin King taking over. They would have the right to do so.”

This, this might in fact be their goal.

“That’s not right. If that is so then they should quickly settle the matter. The longer this drags on, if mother knows and kills her way out won’t their plan fail?”

“Maybe they want mother to know for her to calm out. At that time they could find an excuse to convict her right? Or maybe use various methods to torture us to force her to admit her sins?”

Anyways it was just to torture them such that they couldn’t sleep or eat well.

Jiang Zizai calmed down slightly.

He saw this tired and panicked beauty, “Don’t worry, at least you are safe now. There is still some time, we will be able to find a solution.”

Before he came out what he worried most about was her safety. Now that he saw that she was fine he became more at ease.

As for whether they came over to fetch her for the wedding or directly hold the wedding ceremony there, that was forty over days later. He had time to think of a solution.

There was one key point.

He didn’t understand what their goal was.

Was it the Purple Qilin King position or did they want Ruohua to admit her sins?

Or there was some other scheme that they couldn’t tell anyone else!

“What about uncle Jiang Yuan?” Recently so many things happened and he didn’t see those few people.

“Not to mention Jiang Yuan, even the elders of Purple Qilin Manor aren’t willing to see me. They locked their doors or even decided to head out to tour.”

As expected Jiang Yuan this weed yielded.

“When the tree falls the monkeys scatter, very good.” Jiang Zizai clenched his fists.

It seemed like he could only rely on himself.

“Don’t worry, no matter what they think of doing they have to get past me.”

Now that even his mother was locked up by despicable people, Jiang Zizai could only rely on himself.
“Zizai don’t do anything rash. In my heart you are the most important. Elder brother’s life and death is on a thread, nothing can happen to you.” Jiang Yunning suddenly hugged him, her tears peltering down.

Those tears made his collar wet.

It was hard to imagine that when those people came over to force her to marry, how a girl like her would keep quiet and not dare to speak for her brother and her family.

Jiang Zizai hugged her and caressed her back.

“Sister.”

“Oh?”

“I swear that whoever dares touch a thread of your hair, I will wiped out eighteen generations of their family.”

Jiang Yunning wiped her tears and smiled as she looked at him.

“Little Baby has grown up, great, you aren’t that playful kid anymore.”

So in her eyes he had always been that kid that liked to put insects into her clothing.

They spent their childhood chasing one another around, laughing and playing. Such a great time.

In the courtyard there seemed like there were echoing of their laughters of the past.

There was also the crying Ruo Xiaoyue who didn’t know how to speak yet.

However they were unable to return to the past.

Jiang Zizai gritted his teeth and looked at the sky, there were dark clouds overhead. Rain was about to strike, such a dark atmosphere was really suppressive.

Night also came. Jiang Yunning laid on his leg and fell asleep, her eyes were still red.

Jiang Zizai touched her hair, no one spoke throughout the night.
