Chapter 385: A Group of People Who Love and Hate Each Other
Jiang Lili, who was half asleep and half awake, sat up suddenly in shock when she heard these words.
She pushed Xin Che beside her and said, "No? How come we are the ones going to the Second Princess's Mansion? Do we want to go too?"
Their original plan was for Su Rui to act in the open, while Xin Che and the Xin family army would protect Su Rui in secret.
Her eyes fell on Xin Che, who was lying beside her with his disheveled black hair, his loose pajamas with the collar open, revealing his thin and sharp collarbone.
Jiang Lili coughed lightly and looked away awkwardly.
Although the two of them slept under the same quilt, one of his arms was still on the quilt around his waist, as if he was unconsciously protecting the other person even when he was sleeping.
Xin Che opened his eyes and withdrew his arm naturally. There was also a look of doubt between his brows.
He sat up, took Jiang Lili's coat and put it on her: "I'll go ask Xun San what's going on first."
"Put on your clothes first, don't catch a cold."
Xin Che got out of bed and put on a robe. He walked to the door and opened it a crack: "Brother Xun, my wife and I are also going to the princess's mansion with Su Rui?"
Jiang Lili looked at Xin Che's broad back in his outer robe and blushed slightly. She felt that at first glance, the way they were getting along really looked like an old married couple.
Jiang Lili heard Xun San answering from outside the door: "The princess likes to keep cats. The cat room in the princess's mansion has more than a dozen precious cats, and they are often short of housekeepers to do the work."
Jiang Lili was startled when she heard this. The Princess's House Cat Room was short of a manager. What did it have to do with them? Aren't they here to do business?
Then she heard Xun San say, "Su Rui said that you two are kind-hearted and have adopted a bunch of wild cats in the village. You have a lot of experience in feeding and raising cats."
"He asked me to take you along, so that the three of you can be taken care of in the princess's mansion."
Jiang Lili: ???
It's bad, it's retribution.
They made up stories about Su Rui's life, and Su Rui also made up stories for them. It was a love-hate relationship.
She immediately poked Su Rui in the group chat interface: [Mary Sue, what's going on? What happened last night? ]
[@苏锐: Li Li, did you forget about me yesterday? I was practicing that dance, and it was so awkward and torturous. I felt like I was being forced to be a duck. I didn’t wait for you to send someone to rescue me, so I had to think of an idea on my own. ]
[@苏锐When the Third Prince's people introduced the princess's hobbies to me, they mentioned that the princess likes to keep cats and cherishes beautiful cats very much, a hundred times better than she treats her father.]
Jiang Lili sighed when she saw the news, saying that Old Sheng was really miserable. His second daughter was a hundred times better to cats than to him, and his third son was so devoted to cultivating immortality that he wanted to sacrifice him.
Modern cat owners love cats as if their lives, and ancient people were no exception. An emperor in the Ming Dynasty not only opened a special institution for raising cats in the palace, but also held a ceremony to confer titles on cats. The cats that he loved were not only given the title of "Cat Manager", but also had ranks, and could receive salaries and allowances like normal eunuchs.
【@江麗麗: I see. Okay, I'll get up right now and let you go to the princess's mansion alone. We're worried about you, so it would be great if we could have a chance to act together! 】
As soon as she sent this message, she received the third message from Su Rui.
[@Princess Su Rui has raised more than a dozen expensive cats with strange tempers and difficult to take care of. She dislikes the new cat managers who don’t serve well and kills them at any time. Therefore, although the position of cat room manager is well paid, no one dares to apply.]
【@江麗麗: Thank you so much! You introduced me to such a good job! 】
Since the princess loves cats so much, the position of cat room manager must be a prominent one.
[@苏锐: Come on, Li Li! I believe it is easy for you to deal with cats. Why don’t you ask Xiao Pang to feed them fresh cat strips and catnip sticks? I don’t believe these cats are not interested! ]
[@苏锐: Your brother-in-law will go with you, and someone will take care of your safety, and also take care of mine. ]
That's true. Moreover, if the cat is feeling unwell, it can seek help online from veterinarian Yan Chaoyue.
【@江麗麗: Okay, I'll pack up and come right away. 】
The university she attended in modern times offered a major in veterinary medicine, and there was a veterinary hospital on campus. She also worked part-time as a front desk clerk, and most of the pets sent to the hospital were very close to her.
Jiang Lili thought that she was quite popular with small animals, but——
Jiang Lili turned her gaze to Xin Che who was standing at the door. She didn't know whether the small animals would like Xin Che, who looked murderous.
At this time, Xin Che turned around and looked at Jiang Lili with an inquiring look, as if asking her whether she wanted to take this job.
Xun San noticed the hesitation of the young couple at this time, and added at the door: "Don't worry, you made our third prince start eating well and returning to normal yesterday, and you are all people who have done us a favor."
"We will send people to protect your safety. We also have spies in the Princess's Mansion. If anything unexpected happens, we will escort you to evacuate in time."
Jiang Lili nodded slightly towards Xin Che.
After Xin Che got Jiang Lili's reply, he turned to Xun San and said, "Okay, I'll come find you after my wife and I change our clothes."
"Oh yeah! We've prepared clothes for you to wear to the princess's mansion."
Xun San stuffed the prepared clothes to Xin Che and added, "Also, Brother Xin, you are so handsome, we have to fake a few scars on your face."
"If the princess takes a fancy to you, we will become criminals and will not be able to face Miss Jiang."
Jiang Lili tilted her head when she heard that, but there was no nervousness or worry on her face. She opened her eyes wide and asked in surprise, "Huh? The princess also likes married men?"
Xun San nodded, "Princesses like good-looking ones! Not to mention that Brother Xin has a good figure. Even I think he's good in every way."
Jiang Lili listened to Advisor Xun's serious evaluation and instructions and burst out laughing.
"Brother Xun, you are too polite. I will change my clothes now."
After Xin Che took the clothes, he closed the door with an unnatural expression.
Seeing Jiang Lili tilting her head to look at him, he had no choice but to tidy up the clothes Jiang Lili was going to wear. After she got out of bed, he naturally put on Jiang Lili's coat.
The way of wearing clothes in Nanzhao is somewhat different from that in Dasheng. Xin Che knew that Jiang Lili sometimes couldn't even figure out how to wear Dasheng's robes, so he kindly helped her change.
The clothes Xun San sent were in the Nanzhao style, made of silk with bright colors. The patterns were delicate and intricate, and the style was loose. The top was a wide-laced robe, and the lower body was bloomers, which was full of exotic style.
When Jiang Lili saw Xin Che carefully helping her tidy up her clothes, she suddenly felt that this Lord God of War was brave on the battlefield, yet meticulous off the battlefield. He really had the feel of a husband and was a good family man.
Seeing Jiang Lili staring at his face, Xin Che said helplessly, "Do you really want me to be chosen by the princess? Do you want to send me away?"
