Chapter 277 Asking for Marriage
Chapter 277 Asking for Marriage
Yun Zhong got off his horse and asked anxiously, "Madam, where is Ning'er?"
"Ning'er has been taken away by the Dali Temple. They said they would take her back to assist in the investigation."
Song Rao grabbed Yun Zhong's hand worriedly: "Husband, will Ning'er be okay?"
"will not."
A decisive voice sounded, Jiang Yu's face was gloomy: "I will bring Miss Yun back safely, please rest assured, General Yun and Madam Yun."
As soon as he finished speaking, he kicked the horse's belly, and without waiting for the others to react, he turned around and jumped on his horse and rode forward.
Only a few people were left looking at each other in bewilderment. Why did they feel that His Royal Highness Prince Rui cared more about Ning'er's affairs than they did?
……
Yun Shuning was led by the prison warden to the Dali Temple.
The warden did not put handcuffs on her, but saw her off respectfully all the way. At the end, he asked her not to worry, saying that Lord Gu had given instructions and he would come to deal with it as soon as he finished the work at hand.
Yun Shuning nodded without changing his expression.
Come to think of it, she hadn't seen Gu Wen for quite some time.
Ever since he confessed his feelings, Yun Zhong said he seemed to be busier.
Just as she was thinking, the warden of the prison came in trotting and respectfully asked her to leave: "Ms. Yun, the investigation is over. The angle of the stab wound on Lin Rouan's body can only be caused by suicide. It has nothing to do with you. The Dali Temple is doing routine business and following the rules. Please forgive me, Miss Yun."
Yun Shuning shook his head, wondering in his heart, and asked: "Has your Dali Temple always been so efficient?"
The warden smiled mischievously: "In fact, it was because His Royal Highness Prince Rui invited the best coroner in the capital that the investigation results came out so quickly."
"Your Highness Prince Rui?" Yun Shuning paused.
"Yes, it's His Royal Highness Prince Rui. He is waiting outside the Dali Temple right now. He said he got the notice from General Yun and came to take Miss Yun back to the palace."
The warden of the prison could not help but shudder when he thought of the ancestor who had just been cruel and sinister. He had to close the case quickly and send the person out safely.
Yun Shuning pursed her lips, a barely perceptible smile rising up at the corner of her mouth. The grievance she had just felt when she came to the Dali Temple seemed to have been swept away, and her steps became a little happier.
Before leaving, she happened to pass by the morgue where Lin Rouan's body was placed. Her eyes swept across her body covered with a white cloth lying quietly, without stopping.
If she could be like she is now from the beginning, getting rid of all the arrogance and thorns, perhaps the result would not be like this today.
Thinking of this, Yun Shuning had already come out of the Dali Temple.
There was a horse-drawn carriage parked in front of the Dali Temple, as well as several sedan chairs for officials who had come to do business.
Jiang Yu was standing beside the carriage. When he saw her coming out, he took off his cloak and draped it over her shoulders naturally: "Let's go home."
Yun Shuning nodded, and the two of them got on the carriage.
The carriage moved forward slowly. After Jiang Yu got in, he closed his eyes and leaned on the cushion without saying a word.
There was an unbearable silence in the air, which weighed so heavily that Yun Shuning suddenly felt a little weak.
She could now tell at a glance what was behind Jiang Yu's expressionless face. He was unhappy, or even angry...
Although Yun Shuning didn't know why he was angry, she felt that it had something to do with her.
Jiang Yu opened his eyes and his deep gaze fell on the corner of his robe.
There was a porcelain-white little hand pulling and shaking it gently.
The swaying curtains of the car let in the sunset light, illuminating the pair of bright eyes that were looking at him, full of tenderness and affection.
Jiang Yu stared deeply, his heart melting into water.
He suddenly grabbed Yun Shuning's wrist and pulled her over.
Yun Shuning felt her heart lose weight for a moment, and the next moment her lips were kissed by his.
The strange fragrance like cold snow became stronger and my breathing became heavier.
She was surrounded inside, and the fire burning in his chest left only the ambiguous licking sound between his lips and teeth.
The flower-like lips were sucked repeatedly, showing a bright and moist red. Yun Shuning was almost out of breath from his kiss and could not help but open her eyes to look at him. Jiang Yu raised his hand to cover her eyes, and her sight returned to darkness again.
After a long while, he finally pulled away from her, panting, and whispered with their noses touching: "I'm very angry."
He paused for a moment and said, "I'm angry that you almost hurt yourself, and I'm even more angry that I couldn't protect you the first time."
The tender flesh on her heart seemed to be pinched hard, sore and soft. Yun Shuning tried to calm her breath. Just as she was about to say something, her hand was held by Jiang Yu. While their fingers were intertwined, he stared at her deeply and whispered, "Ning'er, marry me."
Yun Shuning's heart seemed to be burned into a hole by these five words. Through her misty eyes, she saw the earnestness in his eyes, as well as the fire that he had suppressed.
The carriage suddenly shook as if it had run over a stone. Chen Zhao quickly controlled the reins to steady the carriage. He sat upright, looked at his nose and his heart, and pinched his thigh.
The master is asking for marriage, why should he be nervous?
Jiang Yu closed his eyes, ignored the interruptions outside the car, stared at Yun Shuning, and said, "Will you marry me?"
Whenever she thought of the moment when he learned that she was in trouble, her heart ached so much that it almost broke.
He wanted to hold her in his arms with a legitimate reason, protect her when she was in danger, comfort her when she was sad, wronged and in pain, and pamper her in his heart forever and ever.
"Your tone doesn't sound like you're proposing, but more like you're forcing a marriage." Yun Shuning's eyebrows were curved and the corners of his lips were raised.
A clear and charming cold fragrance enveloped the air.
"Then let's call it forced marriage. You have to marry even if you don't want to."
He tilted his nose slightly and kissed her lips.
Yun Shuning felt hot all over, and felt as if a strong wind was passing through him. He was pressed down by him and fell backwards, and all the strength in his body was drained by him.
She was as soft as spring water in such a hot embrace, and between the ripples, her fingertips slightly increased the strength on the backs of their tightly clasped hands.
The plunder between the lips and teeth suddenly paused, and then slowly softened.
The moist and soft lips finally parted, and as their breaths intertwined, Jiang Yu smiled softly and said, "That means you agree."
Yun Shuning pursed her lips, blushed and buried her head in his chest: "Dad, Mom and brother..."
Jiang Yu held her in his arms, rubbed his thumbs on the backs of the porcelain-white hands that were still tightly clasped, and kissed her temples: "Just wait for me with peace of mind, I'll take care of the rest."
Yun Shuning smiled, curled up the corners of her lips, and closed her eyes in his arms, which always made her feel at ease.
……
An hour had passed when the two returned to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. As soon as Yun Shuning got out of the car, he saw Yun Zhong, Song Rao and others standing at the door, waiting for him anxiously.
Song Rao came over quickly, looked at Yun Shuning from front to back, and finally stroked Yun Shuning's face and said, "It's good that you're back. You must be scared. Are you hungry? Mother has asked the kitchen to cook a large table of your favorite dishes."
"My daughter is fine, thank you, mother." Yun Shuning smiled sweetly, having long forgotten the troubles of the day.
Yun Zhong nodded: "I'm glad you're back."
He looked at Jiang Yu with a sullen face, with a hint of wariness in his eyes. His four brothers, led by Yun Sheng, had the same expression.
His Royal Highness Prince Rui's behavior today was so abnormal that they couldn't be fooled so easily.
