Chapter 279 What Should I Do?
Only when he has achieved something significant will standing beside her not be an insult to her.
She continued loading the truck, while Huang Ziliang stood beside her, showing no intention of leaving.
She didn't understand. Did he want proof of what she had just said?
But I can't give him the Holy Martial Token she has, so I'll give him a jade pendant that represents his identity.
"Ziliang, here, this is for you."
He reached out and took a jade pendant with the character "Yan" written on it. A dragon was carved on the left and a phoenix on the right.
It's clearly a piece of high-quality warm jade, something every prince possesses.
It can represent her identity, so why would she give him this?
"With this jade pendant, you can walk sideways in the Holy Martial Division."
"A gift from you, Miss?"
Wu Ziyan nodded. Now that she realized what had happened, she was a little curious as to why Huang Ziliang had always addressed her as "Miss".
I do respect her, but why not call her Your Highness?
"Ziliang, why do you always call me Miss?"
"Because you said you would be called Miss from the beginning, from now on you will be Miss in Ziliang's heart."
"Oh...oh, it's nothing."
It's just a name, let them call her whatever they want, as long as they call her that.
Huang Ziliang, however, believed that this was a token given to him by Wu Ziyan.
He also had a jade pendant, but it couldn't compare to the quality of this jade, though it was also an heirloom from his ancestors.
His grandfather gave it to his grandmother, who then passed it on to his father.
Now the person is gone, only this piece of jade remains.
"Miss."
"Ok?"
"Ziliang also has a piece of jade to give you."
"?oh"
Why did he suddenly think of giving her something? Oh, it turns out she misunderstood him earlier.
He doesn't need something to prove his identity!
The jade pendant she had just given him led Huang Ziliang to mistakenly believe it was a token of their betrothal.
I'm about to take out my ancestral jade pendant and give it to her... should she accept it?
"Your jade pendant is too valuable, can I really accept it?"
"As Ziliang wished, the jade pendant was given to Miss, and it was pleased." He touched the jade pendant, uttering those inexplicable words.
He seems to have a deep affection for this jade, even addressing it as "himself." She feels a little guilty taking the jade pendant.
But he accepted it anyway, and coincidentally, Chu Qiu saw it.
Chu Qiu asked around and found out that Wu Ziyan was loading the truck in the back and happened to come looking for her and saw this scene.
He didn't go over to disturb him, because he knew what kind of person Huang Ziliang was.
She was truly gentle and refined, and maintained a respectful distance from Wu Ziyan, never overstepping her bounds.
Wu Ziyan carefully placed the jade pendant close to his body, not for any other reason, but because it was too "heavy".
Seeing that they seemed to have finished talking, Chu Qiu walked over, said little, and directly picked up the things and loaded them into the car.
Wu Ziyan saw how skillfully he blended in, without it looking out of place at all.
Huang Ziliang bowed and took his leave. Since Wu Ziyan was leaving, he also had to do his own thing.
A real man prioritizes his career.
Chu Qiu and Wu Ziyan inspected the vehicle; it was almost fully loaded.
"Chu Qiu, why don't you go pick them up later? They might leave early tomorrow."
"Your Highness, have they all given you gifts?"
"Who?"
"them!"
"No."
Oh, then he can rest assured, he's not one of the lagging ones.
He had heard about her engagement to Han Yuxiu when he arrived, but she didn't mention it to him at all.
"By the way, Chu Qiu, I went to the Han residence today."
"I'll have Lingchuan draft another job offer for me tonight. Is there anything you particularly want?"
"After Xiao Rong returns, we will travel from Rongyang to Qiyang to see General Situ."
"What do you mean, Your Highness?"
"Of course, it's to meet my future mother-in-law and present the betrothal gifts." She squinted, and it was unclear whether she had learned it from Mo Baiyun.
Chu Qiu was stunned. She had offered him a betrothal gift, but the Situ family was located on the border year-round. It was rare that she had thought of such a thoughtful thing as taking a detour to Qiyang.
"Why aren't you saying anything? Are you angry because I was talking to Ziliang just now, or are you angry because I didn't tell you I was going to the Han residence?"
"I don't dare."
"Then let's go pick up Bo You and the other two, and remind them not to forget anything."
"But be sure to travel light and only bring the necessities. After all, Fang Yuerong has plenty of money, and we can buy things along the way."
She can spend a man's money and talk about it so confidently; probably only she could do that.
Chu Qiu turned around, went out, found a carriage, and headed towards Bai Xiang Pavilion.
Coincidentally, both Changsun Boyou and Fang Yuerong were in Baixiang Pavilion, packing their bags, seemingly ready to depart at any moment.
The carriage stopped at the entrance of Baixiang Pavilion. They thought Wu Ziyan had arrived, but then Chu Qiu poked his head out from inside.
But both of them are the kind of people who have to hide their emotions.
Even when she saw it was Chu Qiu, not a trace of disappointment appeared in her eyes.
"Brother Chu Qiu, it's really kind of you to come and pick us up."
"Gentlemen, please get in the carriage once you're ready. His Highness said that we may depart early tomorrow, so you'll both be staying at his residence tonight."
"it is good."
After they answered "okay," Yue'er tossed several large bundles onto the carriage, then frowned slightly.
I've never heard of anyone bringing a child along.
"Why are you looking at me like that, young master? I am my young master's servant. Wherever he goes, I will naturally go."
"Can……"
"Young Master Chu Qiu, don't take Yue'er too seriously. Just ask the master for his opinion and let him go."
At this moment, the moon was looking Chu Qiu up and down.
[This is also the young master's rival in love, my goodness! But that cold face isn't endearing at all.]
"Alright, you two, please get in the car."
Chu Qiu meant no harm; he simply sat in the car without saying a word.
Along the way, all we could hear was the bumpy ride and the noise of the crowds outside.
There wasn't a sound coming from inside the car, even though Changsun Boyu and Fang Yuerong wanted to have a little chat.
Seeing Chu Qiu's cold face, they stopped.
"Brother Chu Qiu, why do you have such a cold face?"
Chu Qiu was just relaxing in a normal mood; maybe he just has a naturally grumpy face.
He looked up at Changsun Boyu: "Why do you say that?"
"Don't you look in the mirror often? Look at your expression."
Yue'er knows how to deliver a finishing blow; who would carry a mirror around all the time?
But he looked at his own expression in the bronze mirror.
I was taken aback. I never knew his expression could be so cold and stern!
"Wow, it seems this is the first time he's realized his expression looks like this."
"Women won't like that."
"Then what should I do?" Chu Qiu even asked in his heart, feeling ashamed to ask.
"You've come to the right person. We'll definitely teach you properly along the way."
Looking at their smiling faces, he regretted asking the question.
Weian County
This is a place that Wu Ziyan and his group must pass through on their way to Xiao Rong. The mountain road is steep and rugged.
To the left are steep mountain walls, and to the right is a rushing river valley.
This county no longer has a magistrate; instead, there is only a bandit leader who rules the mountains.
She amassed a considerable fortune by taking advantage of the steep terrain.
Just as she was enjoying herself with two women on either side, drinking fine wine and eating delicious food, a subordinate appeared in front of her.
He handed her a mailbox, and she squinted at it, then immediately waved away the women around her.
