Chapter 385: 385:1 Can’t Afford to Offend You

But on the sight of He Tang, there was a vague sense of familiarity and warmth in her heart.

Jiang Ning figured that was probably the original host’s feelings for He Tang.

Seeing as He Tang possessed a pouch the original host had gifted him, it appeared the two of them did have a mutual affection at some point.

The original host led a harsh life after she turned three, her leg was injured, her family was poor, and after her foster parents passed away, she had to scrape together a living from a small restaurant.

Presumably, He Tang, living just down the street, was a ray of sunshine in her destitute life.

What a shame that He Tang’s family didn’t approve of him marrying a crippled woman, and at the time He Tang passed the official examination, she was taken away by the Jiang Family.

Due to a misfortunate turn of events, they missed out on each other.

Jiang Ning, being not the original host, didn’t feel anything about this, but perhaps He Tang, had to bear a lot.

Indeed, he was quite the gentleman.

After learning that she was the daughter of the Prime Minister’s Mansion, he never sought her out or brought up their past relationship.

If he even had a little intention, being associated with the Prime Minister’s Mansion would greatly benefit his career.

Jiang Ning’s impression of He Tang was still very favorable.

He was a kind-hearted young man with a warm smile in her memory.

And he was very talented.

At the young age of twenty, he passed the imperial examination and along with Jiang Yi, he was considered a prodigy.

Jiang Ning opened the pastry, took a bite, it was exceptionally sweet.

Though she didn’t dislike sweets, she didn’t enjoy overly sugary flavors.

The sweet pastry seemed excessive.

She frowned, putting down the pastry.

“What, don’t you like it?” Jiang Yi looked at her.

Jiang Ning shook her head.

She guessed this was the flavor the original host liked.

The original host had a hard life, so it was only natural for her to like such sweet food.

Jiang Yi said, “At least they could have given some better snacks considering you embroidered a pouch for them.”

Jiang Ning laughed: “Third Brother, I am not Zhang Mujin, you don’t need to be jealous. Embroidering a pouch will not happen again, but I can help you get one from Zhang Mujin.”

“No, please don’t!” Jiang Yi hurriedly said, “I am afraid of you.”

Jiang Ning laughed: “If you don’t want it, then never mind. Great opportunities like this don’t come often, do you think I am the kind of person who will easily help others?”

“Well then…”

“It’s too late. Time and tide wait for none.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yi immediately felt like he had lost millions of taels of silver.

Yun Dai said, “If you share the information you have gathered with me, when I am in a good mood and meet Zhang Mujin, maybe I will speak.”

Jiang Yi laughed, poking her forehead: “You sly fox, always thinking too much.” “Ouch!”

“I didn’t use much force!”

“My leg hurts. If you make me move around, and if my leg hasn’t healed…”

“…Okay, okay, I’ll stay away. I can’t afford to upset you.” Jiang Yi sat down on the chair, “I’m serious, you are married and have children now, you should clear things up with He Tang, so he can let go of his feelings.”

“I will, but right now, we need to discuss the Prince of Yu.”

“You seem so anxious, it seems like you also have some feelings for the Prince of Yu.”

“Brother, you really do gossip like an old woman.”

“… That hurts.”

“Hurry up and tell me. My leg is bothering me, and you’re talking nonsense.” Jiang Ning was somewhat agitated.

Jiang Yi laughed: “Don’t worry, the Prince of Yu is fine. Even though he’s confined in the Court of Judicial Review, he’s being looked after by our family and isn’t suffering. Right now, our father and uncle have gone to the palace.” “Brother, do you think the emperor will punish Li Hongyuan severely?”
