Chapter 1362: Chapter 224: She Can’t Do It—She’ll Let the Child Go Hungry Three Times in Three Days!

National Master Mansion.

Jiang Ning opened his eyes, suddenly got up, and propped his hands on the bed.

Instead of the cold bamboo bed, his touch met smooth skin.

He turned his head to one side and saw Su Qingying, who had also opened her eyes.

At this moment, Su Qingying’s face showed a slightly astonished expression.

"Why are you in my bed?" Jiang Ning took the initiative.

"Divine Venerable, you suddenly disappeared in my room last night. Later, I just went back to bed to rest!" Su Qingying began.

Jiang Ning nodded, then looked at her again, "Put on your clothes!"

Saying this, he got up, calmly taking out clothes and putting them on.

At this moment, combining Su Qingying’s words, he understood.

What he saw and encountered last night was neither an illusion nor a dream, but things that truly happened.

He also understood that the mysterious woman by Moon Lake said that one day she would need his help, and what kind of help it would be.

Thinking of this, and thinking of the events of last night, he felt a sudden increase in pressure in his heart.

Lin Qingyi was part of the Old Prince’s plan in the Royal Capital; yet last night, he picked the fruit and won Lin Qingyi’s purity.

If this matter is discovered by the Old Prince, it will bring trouble to him.

While pondering, he had already put on his undergarments.

Turning his head, Su Qingying had also finished dressing.

...

On the other side.

Knock, knock, knock—

In the quiet dawn, the National Master Mansion’s door was knocked on.

The sound of knocking spread far in the tranquil morning.

A moment later.

The sound of footsteps on the ground came from behind the door.

The mansion’s door opened.

"Who are you?" The young girl looked at the woman in front of her, who was about the same height, with a puzzled expression.

"I am Ji Mingyue, here to see Jiang Ning, please inform him!" Ji Mingyue said.

"Seventeenth Princess!!" The young girl covered her mouth and exclaimed.

Then she pushed open the door of the National Master Mansion forcefully: "Seventeenth Princess, please come in, I will take you to find Mr. Jiang!"

"Thank you!" Ji Mingyue gave a polite, shallow fake smile.

At this moment, her brows were somewhat dull.

Because she knew, Jiang Ning had stayed in the National Master Mansion for many days.

And now he was staying here again.

She had also met the State Preceptor before, whose beauty was by no means inferior to hers.

As for the true age beneath the appearance of a young girl, it also seemed unimportant.

...

A moment later.

Under the lead of the young girl, Ji Mingyue walked through the mist-shrouded woods, through the bamboo grove, and came in front of the bamboo house.

It was then that Jiang Ning walked out, still adjusting his belt.

Su Qingying followed behind him, her head lowered, feeling curious about how Jiang Ning managed to disappear into thin air last night and return the same way.

The method was so mystical, she couldn’t perceive a trace.

Meanwhile.

Ji Mingyue raised her head and saw the scene, her expression stunned.

She observed Jiang Ning fixing his clothes, noticed Su Qingying’s disheveled attire, her sash loosely tied.

"Seventeenth Princess!" Jiang Ning saw Ji Mingyue, his face showing no surprise.

Even before coming out, he had sensed Ji Mingyue’s arrival.

His actions now were deliberately undoing his belt and then coming out while re-securing it.

He also incidentally pulled Su Qingying’s waist ribbon.

At the moment, looking down from above, he saw the rising mist in Ji Mingyue’s clear eyes.

"Sorry!!" He sighed inwardly.

"Can you walk with me?" Ji Mingyue spoke.

"The Seventeenth Princess commands, of course I can!" Jiang Ning replied.

Now he had adjusted his belt properly again.

Click, click, click—

The boots on his feet stepped on the bamboo steps, making a crisp sound.

"State Preceptor, just borrowing Jiang Ning for a while!" Ji Mingyue quickly adjusted her mindset, spoke to Su Qingying.

"Seventeenth Princess, please go ahead, he isn’t mine!" Su Qingying shook her head indifferently.

Then she looked at Jiang Ning’s figure, quietly adjusted her loose clothing.

"Seventeenth Princess, let’s go!" Jiang Ning came to Ji Mingyue’s side and said.

Ji Mingyue nodded, then walked next to Jiang Ning.

Walking closely, their shoulders occasionally brushed against each other.

"You smell of other women!" Ji Mingyue said.

Jiang Ning chuckled, "Your nose is really sharp!"

Upon hearing this, a trace of sadness quietly appeared in Ji Mingyue’s eyes.

"Do you still remember our agreement?" Ji Mingyue asked again.

"I remember!" Jiang Ning nodded.

"Can you show me the warm jade I gave you?" Ji Mingyue asked again.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning reached into his chest and pulled out the warm jade hanging around his neck.

Seeing the warm jade still hanging on Jiang Ning’s neck, Ji Mingyue suddenly smiled.

"Should I return it to you?" Jiang Ning asked.

"I never take back what I give away!" Ji Mingyue shook her head.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning returned the warm jade he had taken out back into his clothing.

"Since you remember our agreement, when will you marry me?" Ji Mingyue asked as she strolled alongside Jiang Ning.

"You still remember that?" Jiang Ning smiled lightly.

"It’s our promise, how could I forget?" Ji Mingyue spoke with certainty.

"You’re still too young right now!" Jiang Ning shook his head.

"In what way am I young??" Ji Mingyue stopped walking, puffed out her chest to highlight her figure.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning also stopped, his gaze instinctively falling on Ji Mingyue’s pride.

"I didn’t mean here!" He smiled helplessly.

"I’m not small anywhere else either!" Ji Mingyue lifted her heels again, realizing she couldn’t match Jiang Ning’s height, she let down her heels in disappointment.
