Chapter 836: Chapter 408 Angry Jiang Yi

The purpose of coming to Huye City this time is to assassinate the fifth prince. Jiang Shouzhong is well aware of the implications.

In order not to implicate Taoist Wulang and Monk Bugui, after entering the city, he decided to part ways with the two of them.

He discreetly informed the two that if anything happens later, it is best not to publicize their relationship with him, to avoid bringing trouble and endangering themselves.

Initially, the two were hoping to establish some connections through Jiang Shouzhong. However, upon hearing his cautious warning, their hopes quickly dissipated.

The two did not dare to entangle further and bid each other farewell.

As the wedding would take place the next day, with time to spare, Jiang Shouzhong was not in a hurry to act. He took Little Jiangyi’s little hand and strolled leisurely through the streets and alleys.

Little Jiangyi was often attracted by various dazzling new gadgets, clamoring to buy this or that.

Jiang Shouzhong patiently accompanied her, buying whatever his daughter wanted.

After shopping around quite a bit, Jiang Shouzhong found an inn.

The wedding was held at the City Lord Mansion, so the inn Jiang Shouzhong found was nearby.

Jiang Shouzhong specifically inquired secretly and found out that Huye City’s Lord Wanyan Gu has a familial relationship with Tu Danalie, being Tu Danalie’s brother-in-law.

In this marriage alliance between Tu Danalie and the fifth prince, Wanyan Gu played the role of matchmaker.

However, one thing lingered like a fog in Jiang Shouzhong’s mind, leaving him full of confusion.

Just recently, Tu Danalie’s grandson Tudan Wuxu was killed by Luo Wanqing at Water Moon Manor.

According to common logic, after suffering such a heavy loss of his grandson, Tu Danalie should have rushed to Water Moon Manor to demand justice and vengeance for his grandson.

Yet now, Huye City is decorated with lights and decorations, and is filled with jubilance.

Indeed, it is quite baffling.

After thinking about it, there are only two possibilities.

Either Tu Danalie does not know about his grandson’s death.

But the issue is that at the time, Luo Wanqing deliberately let Tudan Wuxu’s guard go and made strong remarks for Tu Danalie to come.

Unless that guard couldn’t report back here.

Or Tu Danalie has already learned of the matter but chose to ignore his grandson’s death due to deeper, more complex considerations.

"Little Yi, tomorrow you stay in the inn alone, and I’ll leave Niuniu and the dog here."

Jiang Shouzhong gently stroked Little Jiangyi’s smooth hair, speaking softly,

"If I can’t return as scheduled, don’t panic, take them and leave Huye City and find a safe place to hide. I will find a way to reunite with you."

Little Jiangyi was quite sensible, understanding that her capability wouldn’t help Jiang Shouzhong but instead would only be a burden.

The girl tightened her grip on the puppy in her arms, nodded firmly: "I understand, Dad, be careful too."

Just as she finished speaking, Little Jiangyi seemed to recall something important. She hurriedly searched her bosom, and pulled out a bracelet carefully woven from a thin string.

Little Jiangyi put the bracelet on Jiang Shouzhong’s wrist:

"Dad, this is a peace charm made by Little Yi’s hands. With it, you will surely be safe."

Looking at the delicate bracelet, Jiang Shouzhong was surprised and asked, "When did you learn this? Did Aunt Pang teach you?"

"No one taught me, I just knew how, it’s very easy."

Little Jiangyi’s lips curled up, revealing a mischievous "hee hee" laugh. Her fair and tender little face was full of uncontrollable pride, as she raised her small head proudly.

Jiang Shouzhong thought silently, thinking it must be some previous memories of Jiang Yi subtly coming into play.

"Dad..."

While he was pondering, Little Jiangyi bounced in front of Jiang Shouzhong, then gently leaped and sat steadily on his lap.

She hugged Jiang Shouzhong’s neck tightly, like a hanging koala, and asked crisply: "Will you marry many wives in the future?"

Jiang Shouzhong was taken aback by this unexpected question: "Why do you say that?"

Little Jiangyi pouted in dissatisfaction and said sulkily:

"Dad sometimes talks about this woman, sometimes about that woman, and even mutters about another woman in his dreams. Such a fickle man."

Jiang Shouzhong couldn’t help but sweat and flicked her forehead: "That’s not something you should be worried about."

"But Little Yi just isn’t happy."

Little Jiangyi buried her little face in the man’s embrace, her voice was muffled, with a hint of grievance and sadness, "Little Yi just hopes Dad can always stay by Little Yi’s side, and none of those bad women can take Dad away from Little Yi."

Jiang Shouzhong was amused by her childish words, gently pinched her porcelain-doll-like delicate face: "One day you will leave me."

"No, Little Yi will never leave Dad, never ever."

Little Jiangyi said earnestly, her little face tensed tightly.

Looking at the delicate face of the girl in his arms, Jiang Shouzhong felt a sense of bewilderment, absent-mindedly muttering: "If you remain like this forever, that would indeed be nice."

By the evening, Little Jiangyi was pestering Jiang Shouzhong to tell her stories again.

So Jiang Shouzhong told her fairy tales.

Little Jiangyi listened attentively, her eyes fixed unblinkingly on Jiang Shouzhong.

But it wasn’t long before her drooping eyelids could no longer hold, and the girl’s little head nodded repeatedly until she finally fell asleep resting on Jiang Shouzhong.

Little Jiangyi’s rosy little mouth was slightly pouted, making her look adorable and endearing.
