386 Entering the City
Ning Yue was about to say something when Jiang Huan interrupted her. “Alright, let’s stop talking. Let’s eat breakfast first. When your mother comes later, you can go shopping in the city with her.”
Ning Yue nodded and said nothing.
After they finished breakfast, Xin Xin arrived. When she saw Ning Yue, she pulled her aside. “I heard about what happened in the past few days. How are you?”
Ning Yue was touched. She replied, “Auntie, don’t worry. I’m fine.”
“How can you be fine? Although I didn’t see it with my own eyes, my heart almost jumped out of my throat when I saw the scene in the letter. If you weren’t smart, I’m afraid something would have happened long ago. I heard that your arm was even injured. How is it now?” Xin Xin pulled Ning Yue’s hand and was about to check her injuries.
“Auntie, don’t worry. I’m fine now. My hand is fine too.” She stopped Xin Xin.
Her hand had only suffered a superficial wound. It hadn’t hurt her bones, but she had been poked by a stone on the ground.
“Are you really fine? No, I have to take a look.” Xin Xin was worried no matter what. She pulled Ning Yue to an empty tent and began to check her injuries.
Jiang Huan, who was staying in the tent, was speechless. He glanced at Jiang Ying helplessly and said with a smile, “Sometimes, it’s good to have a good relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.”
Jiang Ying did not say anything else. With Ning Yue’s personality, everyone who interacted with her would like her very much. His mother was not a difficult person to get along with.
After Xin Xin checked Ning Yue’s injuries and found that there was nothing unusual, she nodded in satisfaction.
“Very good. It’s good that you’re fine. I also brought some ointment for you. This ointment is a victory gift we obtained after attacking the Black City Kingdom. It’s not much. We obtained a total of more than 100 jars. We’ll take 50 back for the emperor. The remaining 50 will be left on the battlefield. Basically, those soldiers who are more seriously injured can use it. I happen to have a few jars with me, so I’ll give them to you.”
As she spoke, Xin Xin took out two small jars of ointment from her bag and handed them to Ning Yue.
“Auntie, this thing is so good. You should keep it for yourself. I’m a doctor. My master is the famous Divine Doctor Gu. His medicine is quite useful.”
Hearing Ning Yue’s words, Xin Xin poked her cheek with heartache. “Why are you so considerate? Alright, you’re my future daughter-in-law. It’s only right for me to treat you well,” Xin Xin said with a smile.
The two of them left the tent happily and went to the city. When she saw the city gate, Ning Yue hesitated.
Xin Xin saw Ning Yue’s hesitation and quickly said, “Don’t worry, this isn’t King Chu’s territory. Nothing like that will happen. Besides, did you notice a small group of soldiers following behind us?”
Ning Yue nodded. She had long noticed it. She thought that the group of soldiers were going to the city to buy something, so she did not ask further.
“Your uncle specially assigned that group of soldiers to me. They’re all top-notch experts. With them around, we’ll be fine,” Xin Xin said proudly.
Those were soldiers trained by her husband. Either one was good.
Seeing Xin Xin’s happy expression, Ning Yue couldn’t help but smile from the bottom of her heart.
“Alright, although there’s nothing good in the city, one or two delicacies are still very good.” Xin Xin pulled Ning Yue into the city.
When the soldiers at the city gate saw that it was Xin Xin, they hurriedly bowed to her. When they saw Ning Yue, they asked, “Princess Consort, who did you bring into the city with you?”
“I forgot to introduce her to you. This is my future daughter-in-law. How is she? She’s good-looking, right?” Xin Xin asked with a smile.
“So you’re the future heiress.” When the soldiers heard that she was Jiang Ying’s future wife, they hurriedly bowed to Ning Yue.
“It’s fine. Those who don’t know can’t be blamed. My Yueyue isn’t that petty. She won’t blame you. Alright, I won’t talk to you anymore.” Xin Xin chuckled and pulled Ning Yue towards the city.
Her destination was clear. She headed straight for a snack bar in the city.
Ning Yue touched her stomach that had just eaten breakfast. She couldn’t eat these snacks now.
