Chapter 578 Xie Jue's storyline: So obedient
Jiang Huaiyu lifted the curtain and looked out. Sure enough, a familiar carriage was passing through the street, heading towards the alleyway leading to the Princess's residence.
He narrowed his eyes, a slight stirring in his heart.
The Xie family's carriage? Heading to the Princess's residence?
He became suspicious and slowly instructed, "Don't rush back to the manor, follow them from a distance."
The carriage traveled smoothly, but inside the curtains, a different, tender scene unfolded.
Gao Wanzhi nestled in Xie Jue's arms, her cheeks flushed, her arms wrapped around his neck, leaning against him like a drunken kitten, unwilling to let go.
Xie Jue held her close, his palm resting on her waist, his fingertips gently caressing the fabric of her back.
He lowered his head and kissed her again, their lips and teeth entwined.
Their lips were warm and soft, and they kissed each other tenderly and endlessly.
After a long while, he finally released her lips.
Gao Wanzhi's eyes were half-closed, her gaze hazy, his hot breath still lingering on her lips, her breathing disordered.
Xie Jue looked at her, his voice low and hoarse, "Who am I?"
Gao Wanzhi stared at him blankly.
"You...you are Xie Jue."
Xie Jue's smile deepened, and he whispered, "Good girl."
Before he finished speaking, he lowered his head again and gently kissed her lips, with a hint of reward-like tenderness, slowly and tenderly.
His breathing gradually deepened, and he tightened his grip, pulling the person in his arms even closer.
Gao Wanzhi slumped in his arms, trembling slightly, letting him kiss her, their breaths mingling.
Just as they were entwined in this tender moment, the coachman's hushed voice came from outside: "Young master, we have arrived at the Princess's residence."
The carriage stopped, and the curtain was gently fluttered by the wind.
Xie Jue paused, his lips parted, his breathing still ragged.
I glanced up at her and saw that her eyes were slightly closed and her lips were slightly parted, as if she hadn't come to her senses.
He reached out and gently pinched her lips with his fingertips.
Then, he freed one hand to lift the carriage curtain and carried her down from the carriage.
At the street corner, Jiang Huaiyu lifted the curtain, her eyes fixed on what lay ahead.
The Xie family's carriage stopped in front of the Princess's residence, and Xie Jue stepped down carrying a woman.
Jiang Huaiyu's face turned ashen instantly. He flung open the carriage door, practically jumped off, and rushed over.
"Xie Jue!" he roared, "What are you doing?"
Xie Jue continued walking, with Gao Wanzhi still leaning against him with her eyes closed.
He glanced at Jiang Huaiyu. "Can't you see? She's drunk. I brought her back."
"You brought her back? But what right do you have to hug her? Let go of her!"
Xie Jue remained expressionless and began to walk towards the gate of the Princess's residence.
Jiang Huaiyu, enraged, suddenly stepped in front of Xie Jue, reaching out to grab his arm: "You give it to me..."
Xie Jue frowned, then suddenly kicked out, sending him staggering backward.
Jiang Huaiyu nearly fell to the ground, her face instantly turning bright red, but she gritted her teeth and charged forward again.
"Wanzhi is my fiancée! What right do you have to hug her? Let her go!"
This time, before they even got close, Xie Jue's guards blocked their way, gesturing coldly and saying, "Young Master Jiang, please have some self-respect."
Jiang Huaiyu was so angry that she almost lost control and was about to break free.
Xie Jue turned around, holding Gao Wanzhi, and stood on the steps, looking down at him.
"Wanzhi has made it very clear that she does not want to marry you."
Xie Jue spoke calmly and unhurriedly, "This marriage will be called off sooner or later. We're only giving you face now because of the relationship between your Jiang family and the Princess's residence. Otherwise, as a princess, wouldn't she be able to cancel this marriage?"
Jiang Huaiyu's face darkened.
"Secondly, don't you know what kind of situation your Jiang family is in right now? You're drowning in debt, and your money is dwindling every day. What makes you think you can marry her? Do you want her to live a life of hardship and poverty with you?"
This sentence completely enraged Jiang Huaiyu. Her face was filled with shame and anger, and she suddenly roared, "Isn't it all because of you! Do you dare to say that you have nothing to do with what happened behind the scenes?"
He screamed at the top of his lungs, and although the guards held him back tightly, he still tried to pounce on them.
Xie Jue looked down at him. "Even if I really did it, so what?"
The question now is, can you solve it?
"If you can't even handle this simple matter, what makes you think you can marry her?"
He curled his lips into a sneer, "Because you think you're so great?"
Jiang Huaiyu trembled with rage, her eyes bloodshot. "I can handle this! Don't be so arrogant, Xie Jue!"
Xie Jue didn't even bother to turn his head, "Throw him out."
As soon as he finished speaking, the guards stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Huaiyu's arms from both sides without giving him a chance to speak.
"Let me go! How dare you treat me like this?"
Jiang Huaiyu struggled desperately, but was still dragged out of the Princess's mansion and fell onto the bluestone ground, her clothes disheveled and her whole appearance extremely shabby.
Xie Jue carried Gao Wanzhi and headed straight for the backyard of the Princess's residence.
They arrived at Gao Wanzhi's boudoir as if they knew the way inside.
The room was simply furnished, with curtains half-drawn and a few crabapple blossoms placed in a celadon vase.
Xie Jue walked to the bedside, bent down and put her down.
As soon as Gao Wanzhi touched the soft brocade quilt, she let out a soft murmur, and then mumbled something in a daze.
Front yard, main hall.
A maid rushed in and said urgently, "Your Highness, the Princess is drunk and has already returned home."
"How did you get drunk? Where are you now?"
"It has already been placed in the boudoir in the backyard."
Just as Gao Yunzhi was about to get up, the maid quickly added, "It was... Young Master Xie who brought her back."
"Young Master Xie?" Gao Yunzhi was slightly taken aback. "Xie Jue?"
"Yes." The maid nodded.
Gao Yunzhi was silent for a moment.
The maid asked cautiously, "Should I send someone to ask Young Master Xie to leave?"
Gao Yunzhi looked at her and smiled gently, "Don't worry about it. It's in the princess's residence anyway, so nothing will happen."
"Go to the kitchen and have someone prepare a hangover soup. Send it over while it's still hot."
"These two are truly sworn enemies."
backyard.
Xie Jue sat on the edge of the bed, holding a damp handkerchief, and carefully wiped the fine sweat from Gao Wanzhi's forehead.
He moved very gently, and when the handkerchief brushed against her cheek, Gao Wanzhi suddenly let out a soft hum and her brows furrowed slightly.
Xie Jue was about to remove the handkerchief when he felt a soft hand grasp his wrist.
His expression shifted, and he grasped her hand in return, his fingertips tracing against her fingertips.
After a moment, he withdrew his hand, wrung out the handkerchief again, and carefully wiped the sweat from her temples.
A short while later, a maid brought in a hangover soup.
Xie Jue took it, sat back on the edge of the bed, carefully helped Gao Wanzhi sit up, let her lean against him, and fed her the drink spoonful by spoonful.
