BXBX NOVEL Chapter 119 - 119: The Appearance of Xiao Junhao
Because of the sea hawk incident, Xiao Junhao had no time to bother about Liu Xin anymore. But considering Xiao Junhao’s notorious cruelty, Jiang Peihuan still warned Liu Xin, “Xin Er, Prince Qing is not a man to be messed with. By giving this gift, the Liu family has thoroughly offended him. So, when you return, you need to finalize your marriage quickly.”
This was the only solution.
Liu Xin clearly knew this, so she nodded when she heard Jiang Peihuan’s words.
After thinking, she lowered her voice and spoke to Jiang Peihuan, “Sister Jiang, to be honest, I am going home this time to meet my cousin from my uncle’s family.”
“Are you referring to the Ge family?”
Jingdou is neither big nor small, and due to Liu Xiu’s influence, Jiang Peihuan had some understanding of Liu’s family relatives.
But thinking of the Ge family reminded Jiang Peihuan of events from her previous life.
In her previous life, Liu Xiu spent all his wealth to save Jiang Peihuan. But as the general’s mansion fell, many businessmen set their sights on the Liu family, and the Ge family was one of them.
Thinking about this made Jiang Peihuan frown.
Seeing Liu Xin nod, she spoke softly, “Even though your marriage is urgent, there’s still some time. You should discuss it with uncle and aunt.”
“Don’t worry, Sister Jiang, I understand.”
Jiang Peihuan wanted to remind her again, but considering that the Ge and Liu families were after all true relatives, she closed her mouth and didn’t say anything more.
“Third Aunt, hasn’t the Liu family already started arranging a match for Xin Er? Why are you still so worried?”
After sending Liu Xin away, Jiang Peihuan turned her head to see Liu Xiu’s eyes filled with worry.
Hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, Liu Xiu sighed deeply, “The Ge family is not a good match.”
As the topic opened up, Liu Xiu couldn’t help but continue, “The one meeting with Xin Er this time is Ge Jun. 1 have met him before, he seems honest and sincere. But he is too obedient to his mother. Even though she is Xin Er’s aunt, once Xin Er marries over, she becomes the mother-in-law. If there are conflicts between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, I’m afraid Ge Jun won’t be able to protect Xin Er.”
This was the Liu family’s business, and it was not appropriate for Jiang Peihuan to comment. So, after hearing Liu Xiu’s words, all she could do was offer comfort quietly, “It’s just a meeting, it doesn’t necessarily mean they will end up together.”
Jiang Peihuan thought that Xiao Junhao, thoroughly abandoned by Emperor Qi Ming, had lost interest in Liu Xin, but she didn’t expect that Xiao Junhao was already waiting for her on the road.
“Cousin, why have we stopped?”
The carriage suddenly stopped, and Liu Xin looked outside. As she lifted the curtain, she was stunned.
Not until she saw Pei Wu approaching from the opposite side did Liu Xin’s eyes fill with panic.
But seeing Ge Jun on horseback, she sighed in relief.
What happened next, however, made Liu Xin’s expression turn ugly.
“Who are you, and why are you blocking our way?”
Ge Jun, who was not particularly good-looking but rather decent, looked at Pei Wu approaching him and asked coldly.
But Pei Wu didn’t even look at Ge Jun, instead he turned to the carriage and said, “Miss Liu, my master his highness wishes to see you.”
“If Miss Liu doesn’t come out voluntarily, I’m afraid I’ll have to be rude.”
As he spoke, Pei Wu directly lifted the curtain of Liu Xin’s carriage. Seeing his actions, Liu Xin was startled.
She instinctively looked at Ge Jun, but Ge Jun, hearing the word ‘His Highness’, was stunned.
“Cousin?”
Liu Xin called out, but Ge Jun just lowered his head.
Seeing this scene, Pei Wu’s eyes revealed a hint of mockery, “Miss Liu, please.”
Sitting in the carriage, Liu Xin stared at Ge Jun, her eyes filled with disappointment. Finally, she stepped out of the carriage with a pale face.
When she walked to the opposite carriage, Pei Wu opened the curtain for her.
As soon as Liu Xin saw Xiao Junhao sitting inside, she had no choice but to steel herself and get into the carriage.
At this point, Xiao Junhao directly addressed Ge Jun, “Miss Liu is the woman I fancy. If the Ge family dares to harbor any intentions, it would be an offense to my Prince Qing Mansion.”
Seeing the undisguised murderous intent in Xiao Junhao’s eyes, Ge Jun immediately dismounted from his horse and knelt on the ground, “I didn’t know that my cousin Xin Er was the one your highness fancied.”
“Now you do.”
“Yes, I know. Your highness, rest assured, I would never harbor inappropriate thoughts towards my cousin Xin Er again.”
Upon hearing these words, Liu Xin, who was already filled with disappointment, became even more despaired.
“Let’s go.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
As soon as Xiao Junhao finished speaking, Pei Wu ordered his men to drive the carriage away.
Liu Xin was cowering in the corner of the carriage, staring at Xiao Junhao who sat across from her, her eyes filled with panic. She pondered for a moment before finally gathering the courage to speak. “Your Highness, you…ah…”
Before Liu Xin could finish her words, Xiao Junhao swiftly grabbed her wrist. With a forceful pull, he pushed her to one side.
“How dare you.” he said, his eyes filled with a threatening darkness. Seeing this, Liu Xin screamed in fear.
“Do you think if you hide in the Jiang Mansion, I can’t do anything to you?”
Xiao Junhao held her chin tightly, his eyes filled with anger as he spoke. Liu Xin was so frightened she dared not utter a word.
“Now, 1 will personally bring you back to my mansion.”
After saying these words, Xiao Junhao let go of Liu Xin, causing her to crash against the carriage. The impact made her face turn pale from pain.
People always said that Xiao Junhao was gentle. But at this moment, Liu Xin realized how misleading the rumors were. She shrank to one side, afraid to look at Xiao Junhao again as the carriage sped away.
If she were really taken to the Qing Mansion, Liu Xin knew very well what awaited her.
If she was really brought to the Qing Mansion, Liu Xin knew very well what was waiting for her.
She couldn’t be taken to the Qing Mansion, even if it meant death.
Seeing the moving curtain of the carriage, a firm look flashed in Liu Xin’s eyes. She lifted the curtain and jumped out of the moving carriage.
“Pei Wu, quickly!”
Xiao Junhao was shocked to see Liu Xin, who seemed so weak, dare to jump from the carriage.
After a few seconds, he shouted to the outside.
When Pei Wu saw Liu Xin jumping off, he quickly pulled the reins, so Liu Xin fell to the ground but wasn’t trampled by the horses.
Upon hearing Xiao Junhao’s voice, Liu Xin ignored the pain in her foot and ran forward.
“Your highness, don’t worry. I will capture Miss Liu immediately,” said Pei Wu, as he rode his horse to chase after her.
Hearing the galloping hooves behind her, Liu Xin’s eyes were filled with terror.
She instinctively ran towards the city’s protective river. Today, even if she died, she couldn’t be caught by the Prince of Qing.
“Miss Liu?”
Suddenly, Liu Xin heard a familiar voice. Looking up, she saw Jiang Changbai coming towards her..
