C83 (1/2)

June 8th?

When Jiang Wan heard about this day, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Two days ago, she had heard Xiao Rui complain about what those old Taoists in the Venerate Heavens Sect ate. After half a year, they would be back in eleventh or twelfth month at the earliest.

Looking at his fuming appearance, Jiang Wan teased him for less than half a year. Why couldn't she wait?

Unexpectedly, Xiao Rui sighed and said, ”Delicious food is in front of you, but you can't eat it. How sad?”

With just one sentence, it had made Jiang Wan blush greatly.

It turned out that in the past few days, even though Xiao Rui snuck into Jiang Wan's bedroom every night and spent the night, the two of them had always been in love with each other.

In his words, there were some things that had to be left until the night of the candles and the flowers to do. Only then would there be any meaning.

Jiang Wan was naturally grateful for this.

”This won't do, I still have to find those old Daoist Niu and change the date!” Just last night, Xiao Rui supported her head with one hand and played with Jiang Wan's silky hair on her finger while frowning.

”Didn't they say that they don't have any good days recently?” Jiang Wan, who was already drowsy, half-shrunk in his embrace. Half of her head stuck out, and a pair of misty eyes opened.

That temptation … When Xiao Rui saw the look of confusion in her eyes, his blood started to boil again. He gritted his teeth and said: ”Yes or no, I'll have to ask around first before I know.”

As a result, today came the news that the Venerate Heavens had set the date for the 8th of June.

He must be crazy!

Jiang Wan thought.

It was already mid-May. Counting the time, it was less than half a month from the start of June.

”The eighth of June? Why are you in such a hurry? ” Jiang Chuanzhong was also stunned when he received the notification from the Venerate Heavens Sect. The Ministry of Rites probably didn't have enough time to prepare such a short amount of time, did they?

When née Qin thought of the rumors outside, she interjected, ”Could it be that there is something wrong with Prince Jin's grandfather, and he wants to celebrate with Miss Wan'er?”

She had heard that the Prince Jin was very strange. He had been taking medicine ever since he had dinner. The Spring Equinox is afraid of the cold, the summer solstice is afraid of the sun. It was said that he could not leave the palace easily. Every step he took would result in him gasping for breath. Everyone said that it was a miracle that the crown prince could survive until the age of eighteen.

Before this, the palace had already arranged three marriages for this crown prince, but before he had even entered the palace, he had already killed all of them.

People said that the crown prince was a deceitful man who relied solely on the deceitful wife to prolong his life.

But the elders of the Venerate Heavens overseeing the Venerable Heavens insisted that it wasn't because the crown prince had a tough life, but because of the blessings of those women.

But in the end, not many people were willing to believe this. Everyone still felt that the crown prince of the Jin Prince's estate was the sickly old ghost that would soon die.

”Celebration?” It wasn't until nightfall that Jiang Wan heard that rumor. She couldn't help but laugh while covering her mouth.

Xiao Rui chatted with her every day. She was as strong as an ox, how could she be happy about it?

Yet Clove was dying of anxiety.

”Young mistress, I'm speaking the truth!” Clove poured out all the rumors she had heard outside to Jiang Wan in one go.

Jiang Wan, on the other hand, had a nonchalant expression on her face, but this made Mama Han, who was at the side, extremely anxious.
