Exiled Princess: From the Palace Heist to Becoming a Rich Madame [MTL]

Chapter 101-105

Chapter 101: Sir Finally Makes an Appearance

After finishing their morning meal, Jiang Ru and Xiao Chengjin planned to visit the grain shop in the town.

Before they even left the house, they heard a commotion outside.

Jiang Ru furrowed her brows, as if she had an inkling of what was happening.

Buying grain with tickets was already quite fair; what else could be the matter?

Xiao Chengjin, hearing the noise outside, had a hint of unclear emotions in his eyes.

He had contemplated for a long time last night. Since the person above was so wary of him, if they found out he had woken up, they would undoubtedly send someone to assassinate him.

Moreover, Jiang Ru seemed quite certain that the dream of that annoying woman, Jiang Yunyao, was real.

If he truly ascended to the throne in the future, there might have been a significant change in the Great Yan Dynasty.

If not, according to his nature, he would never take that position.

Jiang Ru was right; they needed to extract information from Jiang Yunyao first.

If Jiang Yunyao couldn't achieve her goals, she would likely become desperate and cause chaos.

For the sake of giving Jiang Ru a stable life, he should take the initiative.

The noise outside grew louder, and Jiang Ru and Xiao Chengjin exchanged a glance before walking toward the door.

As they approached the door, Xiao Chengjin forcefully removed his mask.

This time, he would appear before them as Jiang Ru's husband.

Jiang Ru stared at the discarded mask on the ground, momentarily lost in thought.

In the meantime, Xiao Chengjin strode out of the house.

By now, An Er had already prepared the carriage. He frowned upon seeing about forty to fifty people approaching and crowding around.

With Wang Shi at the forefront, the villagers, upon seeing Xiao Chengjin leaving the house, instinctively halted and fell silent.

Who was this young master? He looked extraordinarily noble...

The women in the crowd, especially those with unmarried daughters, started calculating in their heads.

An Er followed the villagers' gaze and saw his master standing at the door, hands behind his back.

Alright, the young master finally stood up for himself.

Xiao Chengjin took a few steps forward, his sharp gaze sweeping over the crowd, and he coldly asked, "May I inquire, what is the purpose of this?"

The villagers were taken aback; this man didn't seem easy to deal with.

A voice suddenly rang out from the crowd, saying, "Bring Lady Xiao out; we have something to discuss with her!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chengjin's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and he exuded an icy aura as he responded, "I am her husband; any matters you have can be discussed with me!"

With these words, the crowd erupted in astonishment, and they exchanged puzzled glances.

What? He's Lady Xiao's husband?

Wasn't Lady Xiao's husband paralyzed?

The villagers, awed by Xiao Chengjin's imposing aura, instinctively took a step back.
