Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder is Very Leisurely

Chapter 526 Cannon Fodder Concubines in the Deep Palace 89

The next day, Xiao Qing came to visit again. This time, she came alone, along with her husband and son, and Wang Qingming followed behind.

In fact, Wang Qingming received the news when Yu Nuan returned to the Jiang residence yesterday, but he did not dare to visit her rashly, fearing that it would bring bad rumors to Yu Nuan. That's why he came to visit with Xiao Qing today. Wang Qingming's visit was under the pretext of returning the reward to Yu Nuan.

At first, it was Jiang's mother who received the group. When Jiang's mother saw Wang Qingming, her eyes lit up and she greeted him warmly, so much so that Wang Qingming was a little uneasy.

"Lord Wang, you're friends with my Nuan'er!" Mother Jiang looked at Wang Qingming with a gentle expression.

"Yes, Miss Jiang has helped me a lot before. The people of Yun County are able to live a life of plenty because of Miss Jiang."

"Oh, right, Nuan'er spent a year in Yun County before." Mother Jiang suddenly realized, remembering Yu Nuan's contributions in Yun County, which was why her husband was promoted.

"Yes, Auntie."

"Lord Wang, I heard that you are still unmarried. What is the reason for this?" Madam Jiang was eager to know why Wang Qingming had remained single until now. In the past two years, Wang Qingming had become a favorite of the Emperor. Madam Jiang had heard many mistresses of the house want to marry their daughters to Wang Qingming.

Although Wang Qingming is a bit old, he has no mistresses and holds a high position of power at a young age, making him the perfect son-in-law in the eyes of many mothers-in-law. Of course, some people speculate that the reason Wang Qingming has no women in his household is because he has a hidden illness, which is why Jiang's mother wants to find out.

After Yu Nuan arrived, she saw Jiang's mother warmly pulling Wang Qingming aside and talking to him.

"Wang Qingming".

Upon hearing Yu Nuan's voice, Wang Qingming stood up as if he had met a savior and looked at Yu Nuan, "Yu Nuan, you're back."

"Yes, you came to see me for something? Oh, by the way, I haven't congratulated you on your promotion yet." Yu Nuan smiled, still very happy to see her good friend whom she hadn't seen in a long time.

"This is all thanks to you, Yu Nuan. I came to see you this time not only to visit you, but also because of something important. You left in such a hurry that you didn't take some of the gifts the Emperor bestowed upon you. I have been keeping them safe for you. Now that you have returned, I can say that I have returned them to their rightful owner."

"Thank you."

Seeing that the two were chatting happily, Jiang's mother gave them some space, saying, "Alright, Nuan'er, you take care of Qingming. I won't disturb you two from catching up."

In just a short while, Mother Jiang changed her address from Lord Wang to Qingming, which shows that she was very satisfied with Wang Qingming.

When Jiang's mother left, she didn't forget to take Xiao Qing with her. "Xiao Qing, this is your child! She's so cute with her chubby face. Now that you're married, haven't you been to the family garden for a long time? I'll take your whole family for a stroll. Xiao Qing is now considered a member of the Jiang family, so treat the Jiang family as your maternal home. Don't be shy."

"Yes, Madam, it's been so long since I've been back. I miss everything about the Jiang family very much."

Xiao Qing immediately understood what Jiang's mother meant, and echoed her words. Then, she took the child and Xu Feng, followed in Jiang's mother's footsteps, and left the hall.

Jiang's mother's intentions were too obvious. Yu Nuan glanced awkwardly at Wang Qingming, smiled, and explained, "Wang Qingming, don't take my mother's words to heart. She's just worried that I'll leave again."

Wang Qingming didn't say anything upon hearing this, but stared at Yu Nuan with fervent eyes and solemnly said to her, "Yu Nuan, you know I've been waiting for you. As long as you're willing, I'll marry you immediately and promise to have only you for the rest of my life."

Yu Nuan was surprised that Wang Qingming's feelings were still so intense. She thought that as time went by, Wang Qingming's feelings for her would gradually fade away, but now Wang Qingming's various actions showed that he still liked her and had remained unmarried for her sake.

"Wang Qingming, I thought we had already agreed that we could only be friends," Yu Nuan reminded him.

"I'm sorry, I was being presumptuous." Wang Qingming lowered his head in disappointment.

Wang Qingming didn't want Yu Nuan to drift apart from him, but almost losing her had frightened him. When Wang Qingming heard that Yu Nuan was in Liangzhou, he really wanted to go there no matter what, even if it meant dying together.

However, Wang Qingming was not only himself; he was also the emperor's subject and his parents' son. He had heavy responsibilities, and when his parents heard that he was going to the battlefield, they cried and begged to stop him, even threatening to kill themselves. Wang Qingming had no choice but to compromise.

Yu Nuan didn't know what to do either. The two people in the hall remained silent, and the atmosphere became somewhat strange.

"Yu Nuan, I'll take my leave now. I still have some official business to finish." In the end, Wang Qingming could only flee in a panic. He didn't know if Yu Nuan would look down on him if she saw his injured expression if he stayed any longer.

"Okay, okay, Wang Qingming, I still want to thank you for preserving those assets for me."

"Well, if you need anything, just send someone to my residence to find me." After saying that, Wang Qingming gave a self-deprecating laugh and said, "Why would you come looking for me?"

Yu Nuan didn't speak. Indeed, she wouldn't take the initiative to look for Wang Qingming in the future. Moreover, as long as Wang Qingming hadn't found the person he loved, Yu Nuan wouldn't contact him. Yu Nuan knew that their lack of contact was the best arrangement for both of them.

With a deeply shaken expression, Wang Qingming left the Jiang residence, where he encountered Jiang's mother and others on his way out.

Jiang's mother asked with a smile, "Qingming, are you leaving already?"

"Ah, yes, Auntie, I still have some official business to finish, so I'll take my leave now." Wang Qingming didn't want anyone to see his disappointment, so he forced a smile and said.

Jiang's mother could tell that Wang Qingming was in a bad mood. She wondered if the two of them had just had a fight.

Xu Feng, as Wang Qingming's bodyguard, originally wanted to leave with Wang Qingming, but Wang Qingming stopped him, saying, "Xu Feng, I'm giving you a day off today. Spend some time with Xiao Qing and the child."

After Wang Qingming left, Jiang's mother took Xiao Qing and her family of three back to the hall. Seeing Yu Nuan leisurely drinking tea with no change in her mood, Jiang's mother thought she had made a mistake and that Wang Qingming really just had something to do and had to leave.

Hearing the noise, Yu Nuan looked up at Jiang's mother and said, "Mother, what's so special about our garden that you've been looking at it for so long?"

Jiang's mother knew that Yu Nuan was resentful towards her, so she smiled awkwardly and explained, "It's just that Xiao Qing hasn't been back for a long time, so I'm taking her around. Alright, I have something to do, you two chat."

If it weren't for Yu Nuan, Xiao Qing's status wouldn't have been enough for Mother Jiang to personally receive her. After all, in Mother Jiang's eyes, Xiao Qing was just a maidservant who had married into the Jiang family.
