On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince's Hidden Illness Chapter 368: 368: Preparing for Revenge

Chapter 368: Chapter 368: Preparing for Revenge

Lao Liu, accompanied by the shipn, instructed the passengers to disembark slowly, and for a mont there was an orderly procession.

After all the other passengers had disembarked, Lao Liu approached Ye Yiheng and Leng Yu Yan, raising his hand to beckon, “Please follow off the boat!”

Ye Yiheng nodded faintly with an air of indifference, “Quite a few burly n ca to greet your ship owner just now, it seems your ship owner is quite influential in Yaoshou.”

Proudly leading the way, Lao Liu responded, “The gentleman speaks the truth!”

Ye Yiheng, “Oh, it seems those n are also quite notable.”

Lao Liu grew even prouder, smiling as he explained, “About half a year ago, our ship owner had carried them. After everyone else had left the boat, they lingered on. Upon further enquiry, it was discovered they had nowhere to go, so our ship owner took them in.”

As he spoke, Lao Liu looked at Leng Yu Yan, “Miss Yu, our ship owner is truly a good man. If you follow our ship owner, he will surely not let you be at a disadvantage and will ensure you live a life of luxury!”

Upon hearing this, both Ye Yiheng and Leng Yu Yan coughed lightly in unison.

The three of them disembarked, and Leng Yu Yan asked with a smile, “Lao Liu, I’d like to know, Little Rou’er earlier ntioned inviting us to their ho. Do those strong n also live there?”

Upon hearing this, Lao Liu was sowhat surprised, not understanding why the beautiful young lady would ask such a question.

Ye Yiheng quickly interjected, “My sister is shy, especially when seeing so many n; she’s reluctant to visit.”

“Ah, I see. Miss Yu, rest assured! Our ship owner has a daughter and sisters, so he bought a residence in town, and the family lives there. As for those n, they’ve found a mountain and built a fortress there. They do not live with our ship owner usually.”

Pausing, Lao Liu continued, “They ca to escort our ship owner to a drinking appointnt, which was arranged half a month ago. He couldn’t miss it.”

Leng Yu Yan smiled lightly, “I see.”

Lao Liu pointed toward the horse carriages parked at the dock, “Please get on the horse carriage.”

And so, Lao Liu sat beside the coachman, followed by a procession of shipn, all heading towards the Jiang Residence.

At the Jiang Residence, Lao Liu directed the cooks to make a lavish dinner.

The cooks were puzzled, and one of them asked Lao Liu, “The master has gone out to an engagent, why do we still need to prepare so many dishes?”

“Today’s guests are a pair of siblings. Our master has taken a liking to that girl. You all know what needs to be done, right?”

The cooks chuckled, “So, we are getting a lady of the house!”

In the mountain fortress.

Scar Face raised his glass, “The great kindness of Ship Master Jiang, Scar Face will never forget.”

Da Dao chid in, “Indeed, if it weren’t for the ship owner helping us acquire this mountain, we wouldn’t have been able to settle down here.”

Jiang Xuan waved his hand, smiling, “Every ti we drink, you all say the sa thing. I’ve been hearing it for several months, and my ears are nearly calloused.”

As he said this, and glanced at Jiang Rou, who was asleep in Jiang Yu’s arms, Jiang Xuan added, “Let’s make it till here today. I still have guests at ho. We’ll drink so other day.”

Scar Face asked with a hearty laugh, “What guests are so important that they make the illustrious Ship Master Jiang so eager to return ho?”

Jiang Yu spoke up, “What else could it be? Won!”

Scar Face laughed even louder, “Jiang Yu, you’re straightforward – not beating around the bush like Ship Master Jiang. To the uninford, they might even think Jiang Yu is my biological sister!”

As Scar Face spoke, he suddenly realized, exclaiming loudly, “What, won? Our Ship Master Jiang has a woman he likes?”

A rare blush crept onto Jiang Xuan’s face, his lips pressed into a straight line, yet the corners twitched slightly upward.

Jiang Yu added, “Isn’t it true? That woman is delicate and pretty, and my brother took to her at first sight.”

“Bring the sister-in-law tomorrow, then, and let all of us et her,” Scar Face declared, waving his hand grandly before lifting his cup again.

Jiang Xuan also lifted his cup, “This isn’t good, is it? I haven’t even begun formal talks with her family, how could I bring her here?”

“Ship Master, you are unaware. Although we brothers may look rough, we are all skilled matchmakers!” Scar Face looked around, “Brothers, don’t you agree?”

“Yes, Boss is absolutely right!” The muscular n sitting around loudly voiced their agreent.

Jiang Xuan drank the wine in his cup and stood up, “Then I shall go back and discuss it with her. If possible, I’ll bring her over tomorrow noon. At that ti, I hope everyone will speak favorably of .”

“Good, good, good, Ship Master, be at ease!”

Scar Face drank his own cup of wine, then personally saw Jiang Xuan and the two others out of the stronghold.

Over at the Jiang Residence.

Ye Yiheng found Lao Liu: “My sister can’t sit still; she wants to visit the market nearby. I’m informing you.”

“Alright, there’s still so ti before dinner, and the market is close. It’s good for you to take a look around.” Lao Liu assigned two shipn, “You two follow them and help the siblings carry things.”

The shipn agreed and followed Ye Yiheng and Leng Yu Yan out of the Jiang Residence.

At the market, Leng Yu Yan first purchased so embroidery needles.

The shipn watched without confusion because it was common for a girl to buy embroidery needles.

Later, Leng Yu Yan saw several shops on the street selling swords and decided to buy a couple—not only as a precaution but also to exact revenge on her enemies.

She looked up at Ye Yiheng, “Brother, can I buy two swords?”

Ye Yiheng pretended to furrow his brow in disapproval, “A girl’s place is at ho. Why buy swords? You just bought embroidery needles, and that was good enough.”

The two shipn snickered.

One of them said, “Miss Yu, if you want them, just buy them. It’s only two swords after all.”

The other added, “Yaoshou’s swords are well known in Tiancheng.”

Leng Yu Yan tugged at Ye Yiheng’s sleeve, cooing, “Brother, please buy them for . You spoil the most, don’t you?”

Ye Yiheng raised an eyebrow, “Do you an to say if I don’t buy them, you’ll accuse of not doting on you?”

“Of course not! Brother is the best brother in the world!” Leng Yu Yan tugged on his sleeve even more vigorously.

The two shipn exchanged glances, both thinking that Ship Master Jiang’s Miss Yu was indeed wonderful. A girl should know how to act coy, unlike their own ladies who always argued, not knowing what gentleness and playfulness were.

Thus, the two shipn started persuading Ye Yiheng, suggesting they consider buying the two swords as a souvenir from their trip to Yaoshou.

Seeing they did not find it strange for them to buy swords, Ye Yiheng finally nodded his approval.

Leng Yu Yan joyfully picked out two swords, “One for my brother, and one for myself.”

Ye Yiheng paid the Silver Coin, and then the four returned to the Jiang Residence.

When they got back to the Jiang Residence, the Jiang siblings had returned with Jiang Rou as well.

The shipman asked, “Ship Master, why did you return so early?”

Jiang Xuan glanced at Leng Yu Yan and explained, “I didn’t drink much at the stronghold, so I ca back early.”

Then, he turned his attention to the two swords in Ye Yiheng’s hands, “Why are there suddenly two more swords?”

The shipman helped to explain, “Miss Yu saw them and really wanted them, insisting on buying them.”

Ye Yiheng feigned helplessness: “Yes, I’ve spoiled my sister rotten.”
