The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 562: Does He Meet Your Ideal Husband?

"Ayao!" Jiang Suining called out.

Wei Yao didn't expect to see Jiang Suining like this, and she was obviously stunned when she saw her.

After coming to his senses, he took a few steps forward and walked to Jiang Suining's side.

"Didn't you finish your shift a long time ago? Why are you still in the palace?" Jiang Suining asked.

"I was originally planning to leave the palace, but some problems occurred, so I went to the warehouse where the documents were stored to check, which delayed me for some time," Wei Yao replied.

"So that's how it is. Then it's just right for us to leave the palace together." Jiang Suining said with a smile.

Wei Yao nodded, and the two of them walked side by side through the imperial garden and along the palace road towards the palace gate.

"Sui Ning, how is Princess Chu doing now?"

Now many people in the palace are discussing privately that after the Prince Chu’s Mansion was confiscated, Princess Chu’s husband was also hated by the Emperor and would not be employed again. Some people are even waiting to see Princess Chu make a fool of herself.

She knew that Princess Chu and Sui Ning had a good relationship, and when Sui Ning had an accident before, she had also met Princess Chu in the Jiang family's shop. It was obvious that Princess Chu truly regarded Sui Ning as a friend.

"It's okay for now, but the worry and panic in my heart are naturally unavoidable." Jiang Suining's tone was slightly solemn.

In the past few days, she has been sending people to keep an eye on the situation of the Chu family. Jingyue has not gone out again. The imperial physician has visited once again, but heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine. Given Jingyue's current condition, I'm afraid the imperial physician is helpless.

"I heard that the case of Prince Chu's Mansion was handed over to the Fourth Prince, but the Fourth Prince has not been in a hurry these days and has been conducting the trial slowly. Could it be that he wants to delay it until after the New Year?"

"I'm not too sure about this, but after all, it involves a huge palace. Perhaps the Fourth Prince wants to be more cautious."

"That's right. Princess Chu has to suffer. She has to worry even when she is pregnant." Wei Yao sighed.

The two of them talked as they walked, and soon arrived at the palace gate.

And today, besides Shen Yanxi, Jiang Mushi was also at the palace gate.

Jiang Mushi and Shen Yanxi stood together, talking and looking towards the palace gate. The moment they saw Wei Yao coming out, joy instantly appeared on their faces and they raised their arms and waved to Wei Yao.

Wei Yao was stunned for a moment, and an unnatural blush appeared on her face.

Ever since she left the Jiang family last time, Jiang Mushi would appear every now and then. Sometimes they met on the street, sometimes he would say he happened to pick her up at the palace gate on his way, and sometimes he would simply deliver something to the courtyard where she lived.

Jiang Mushi's shop has already opened. It goes without saying that he should be very busy now, but he always finds time to look for her. How could she not understand the meaning of this?

The two walked to the side of the carriage, and Shen Yanxi took out the dried cloak from the carriage and carefully tied it on Jiang Suining.

Jiang Mushi also brought a cloak, which was also heated by the charcoal fire in the carriage and was very warm. However, he did not feel comfortable putting it on Wei Yao himself, so he just handed it to her.

"Are you just passing by today?" Wei Yao looked at the carriage parked nearby.

"Yes, I just happened to pass by." Jiang Mushi nodded quickly.

Wei Yao looked at him and couldn't help but speak: "But I got off work late today. I would have returned home at this time in the past. How can you be sure that I haven't left today?"

"I..." Jiang Mushi choked, and an embarrassed look instantly appeared on his face.

He glanced at Jiang Suining and Shen Yanxi who were watching the fun on the side, and quickly pointed at them.

"I happened to see my brother-in-law when I was passing by, so I waited for my sister with him."

"Is that so?" Shen Yanxi said jokingly, "But you came earlier than me. When I got off work and came here, you were already waiting at the palace gate."

"Brother-in-law!" Jiang Mushi gritted his teeth.

He is really his brother-in-law, why is he still trying to undermine him?

"Don't worry. Since he is your brother-in-law, I, as your brother-in-law, must be sensible." Shen Yanxi hugged his wife, "Your sister and I will go home first. We won't disturb you to send the female guard back. You two can chat slowly."

Jiang Mushi's cheeks were hot, "Shen Yanxi! Sister, you don't care!"

"I think what your brother-in-law said is quite right." Jiang Suining also smiled mischievously, "It's so cold, you guys should hurry to the carriage. It's getting dark, remember to send A Yao home safely."

Shen Yanxi and Jiang Suining got on the carriage, and after saying goodbye to Wei Yao, the carriage quickly drove away from the palace gate.

Wei Yao used the lights at the palace gate to look at Jiang Mushi, whose face was still a little red, and said softly, "Then let's go too. It's quite cold."

"Okay." Jiang Mushi nodded immediately.

Although Jiang Mushi had expressed his feelings to Wei Yao when they were at the Jiang family before, he still couldn't help feeling nervous every time he saw Wei Yao during this period.

Sitting in the carriage, Jiang Mushi looked at the quiet Wei Yao, thought for a moment and asked, "You got off work so late today, are you very tired?"

Wei Yao's eyes flashed with darkness, and she quickly shook her head and said, "No, I've been fine recently. I was delayed today because of something. But your sister has been really tired these days."

The Laba Banquet, which had already been confirmed, suddenly had to be expanded in scale. Sui Ning and Qing Rui were extremely exhausted over the past two days.

"My sister never rests. She was like this when she was running the shop. She did many things by herself and could not leave any omissions or mistakes. Although most of the things in the shop have been handed over, she is still a female official in the palace. She is really busy all the time."

There was some pity in Jiang Mushi's tone, but then he sighed.

"Compared to my sister, I seem to be really useless."

"How could that be! I heard that your shop is doing very well. If you were useless, how could you run such a good shop?"

"But compared to my elder sister..."

"Everyone has his or her own strengths. Even compared to your sister, you are no less capable than her." Wei Yao said with certainty.

Jiang Mushi listened to Wei Yao's praise and subconsciously asked, "Am I really pretty good in your heart?"

Wei Yao's face became hot again, but she still nodded seriously and said, "Yes, it is very good."

For a moment, Jiang Mushi felt so happy that he asked again carefully.

"Wei Yao, what do you think of me during this period? Do I fit the criteria of... the candidate for husband you have in mind?"

Looking at Jiang Mushi's expectant and nervous eyes, Wei Yao almost blurted out the word "compliant".

But just when she was about to say it, she stopped.

Jiang Mushi felt annoyed as Wei Yao didn't speak for a long time. He thought he was too impatient. When he was about to apologize, he heard Wei Yao say.

"Can I ask you a question?"
