Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 916: Chapter 917 Calm down, Jingjing!

Gong Jue Chen had an expression of being wronged, ”I didn’t ruin her chastity, nor did I tarnish her reputation. I was just talking to you guys, and you wouldn’t tell anyone anyway.”

As he spoke, Gong Jue Chen’s sense of grievance grew.

”You... really deserve a beating!” An Jing, seeing Gong Jue Chen still acting this way, was so angry she almost wanted to hit him.

”Hey, hey, hey, Jingjing, calm down, Jingjing!” Gong Jue Chen hurriedly backed away, afraid that An Jing would hit him. ”Men and women should not touch each other, should not touch, Jingjing!”

An Jing, seeing Gong Jue Chen act so cowardly, was both amused and irritated, ”You still know men and women should not touch? Why didn’t you know that when you touched her before?!”

Gong Jue Chen, looking pitiful and aggrieved, said, ”I just touched her in front of you guys that one time, I didn’t do anything else, I was just bluffing you all.”

”However,” Gong Jue Chen continued. ”If I had known that she would have an affair with Zhuzhu, I should have really touched her all over. I look so much better than Zhuzhu, why did she choose Zhuzhu over me?”

Without waiting for An Jing to answer, Gong Jue Chen answered himself, ”She must be blind!”

An Jing glanced at Gong Jue Chen with undisguised contempt, ”With the way you are, I think no woman would ever like you. You might as well prepare to be alone for life.”

Gong Jue Chen then adopted a look of utter desolation, ”If I end up alone for life, I definitely won’t rest in peace...”

An Jing turned and walked away without another word.

”Hey, hey, hey, Jingjing, Changyi, you haven’t answered me yet. If they really do have an affair, what should I do?” Gong Jue Chen quickly followed after them again.

An Jing really didn’t want to respond, but still said, ”Can’t you just wish them happiness?”

Gong Jue Chen suddenly turned serious, ”If Zhuzhu wakes up, I will consider it.”

An Jing paused for a moment, then gave Gong Jue Chen a look but said nothing more. Instead, she continued to leave the General’s mansion with Xiao Changyi.

This time, Gong Jue Chen did not follow them.

Once they left the General’s mansion, An Jing and Xiao Changyi rode Zhuri back to the palace.

After they were a distance away from the General’s mansion, An Jing looked at the bustling market of the Imperial Capital and smiled at Xiao Changyi behind her, ”My dear, no matter how much Gong Jue Chen pretends, I believe he genuinely sees Meng Zhuqing as a friend.”

Xiao Changyi lightly replied, ”Mhm.”

An Jing sighed, ”So many of us hope that Meng Zhuqing will wake up, hoping she will as we wish.”

Xiao Changyi was silent. Meng Zhuqing was seriously injured, and whether she could wake up was truly uncertain.

...

Upon returning to the palace, An Jing and Xiao Changyi started preparing to move to Prince Yi’s Mansion.

They had already informed the Emperor of Xiyun the day before about their plan to stay at Prince Yi’s Mansion. The Emperor had immediately agreed and even allowed Xiao Changyi to transfer a group of devoted guards to Prince Yi’s Mansion.

Because of these guards, the security at Prince Yi’s Mansion was particularly strict.

Even though they packed up their belongings, An Jing and Xiao Changyi didn’t move into Prince Yi’s Mansion with their four children until the next day.

Tobanya had already moved into Prince Yi’s Mansion the day before.

Despite living at Prince Yi’s Mansion, every midnight, Tobanya would sneak out to the General’s mansion to secretly check on Meng Zhuqing.

Meng Zhuqing had been in a coma all this while. Old Lady Meng spent nearly every day by her bedside. If it weren’t for Old Lady Meng’s old age and her inability to keep going, she would also have stayed by Meng Zhuqing’s side at night.
