Jin Jingxiu stood in the alley, looking at the carriage parked at the entrance of the house, unable to walk inside.
Even if he is foolish and naive, and willing to trust Jiang Mengyue with all his heart. Seeing Jiang Mengyue frequently come into contact with another man, he felt uncomfortable in his heart.
Is this man really Yue'er’s friend?
If there is something to discuss, why can't it be talked over at a teahouse? Why does it have to be in her private residence?
A man and a lone woman meet each other alone, it could tarnish Yue'er's reputation. This man is not a good person......
Jin Jingxiu unconsciously clenched his fists.
At this moment, the gates of the residence opened, and a noble man walked out and Jiang Mengyue personally went to see him off.
"Sir, take care." Jiang Mengyue smiled slightly and spoke softly.
A gust of wind blew over, swaying the corners of her skirt, and tousling her hair. Snow-white petals, carried from who knows where, danced in the air and landed on Jiang Mengyue's hair.
The Crown Prince raised his hand and casually plucked off the petals on Jiang Mengyue's hair.
"You got something on."
Jiang Mengyue raised her face, slightly stunned, and then said, "Thank you, sir."
Not faraway, Jin Jingxiu tightly clenched his fist, his nails embedded in his palms drawing blood, but he could not feel the pain at all.
There were two people who were full of affection in front of him.
Jiang Mengyue smiled, her expression gentle, showing a feminine shyness, which she had never shown to him before.
The distinguished man also reached out to stroke her head and his movements were very ambiguous.
At this moment, Jin Jingxiu felt his heart sinking unstoppable, and his tight fists were slightly shaking.
The person in Yue Er's heart is this noble man, not him.
No explanation is needed, he has seen it with his own eyes.
It was only his wishful thinking, believing that he and Yue'er liked each other. He did not expect the the fool is actually him.
.........
The Crown Prince got on the carriage and the carriage drove away slowly.
Jin Jingxiu turned around and did not go to find Jiang Mengyue, but ran towards the direction of the carriage and rushed in front of it.
The driver hurriedly tightened the reins and said, "What are you doing! Are you crazy? You suddenly ran out!"
Jin Jingxiu's eyes were red and he stared at the carriage curtain.
"What happened?" a stern voice came from behind the curtain and asked coldly.
The driver hurriedly explained, "It was someone reckless who ran in front of the horse..."
After saying that, he yelled as Jin Jingxiu, "Step aside quickly! Do you know who the person in the carriage is? If you don't want to offend him, you better get out of the way!"
Jin Jingxiu rushed over and opened the curtain before anyone could react.
The Crown Prince in the carriage frowned.
Jin Jingxiu held his breath, feeling utterly desperate. When he saw the carriage, he wanted to see who the noble man inside was.
At this glance, he couldn't help but be stunned.
The person inside turned out to be...
The coachman was shocked and his eyes were wide open with fear. Who would dare seek death and actually charge at His Highness the Crown Prince!
A secret guard appeared, kicked Jin Jingxiu in the chest, and shouted "How dare you!"
Jin Jingxiu fell to the ground, and his chest tightened in pain.
He stared closely at the Crown Prince behind the carriage curtain. The curtain slowly fell, and the Crown Prince frowned, his face full of impatience. Finally, the carriage curtain fell completely, blocking his sight, and he could no longer be seen.
"Your Highness, do you want to teach this reckless thing?"
A cold sentence was sent out in the car, "Let's go, don't waste any more time."
"Yes." The coachman responded, saying no more, and immediately swung the whip in his hand to drive the carriage onward.
The carriage drove away.
Jin Jingxiu collapsed on the ground, not moving for a long time, and his whole body drained of strength.
His face was blank and his eyes were lifeless.
"It's the Crown Prince..."
He is someone he can never compare to.
.........
Jin Jingxiu returned to the Jin family in a daze and locked himself in his room.
When Jin Weilan saw it, she jokingly said, "Hey, what's going on? People who don't know would think Jiang Mengyue abandoned you..."
For a whole day, Jin Jingxiu did not leave.
Jin Weilan noticed something was wrong and asked the servant to ask what happened.
Jin Jingxiu's behavior was really abnormal. He didn't eat or drink and stayed in his room.
Is he sulking to their mother?
Because she didn't agree with his marriage to Jiang Mengyue, did he resort to crying, causing a scene, and threatening to hang himself?
Jin Weilan had previously ordered the servant to follow Jin Jingxiu whenever he went out and keep an eye on where he went.
The servant replied truthfully, "The young master went to see Second Miss Jiang."
"Jiang Mengyue?" Jin Weilan snorted coldly. Sure enough, its really her. That pig-brained fool couldn't possibly have any other reason. It was definitely because of Jiang Mengyue!
"But the young master didn't enter the house, and he didn't even see Second Miss Jiang, he just came back."
"By the way, the young master also stopped a carriage, but the one sitting in the carriage was not Second Miss Jiang, but a man."
The servant told everything he saw. Because he was far away during the tracking, he only saw this scene from afar.
Jin Weilan frown "He went to look for Jiang Mengyue, but he did not see Jiang Mengyue... What's going on?"
In any case, the fact that Jin Jingxiu stayed in the room must have something to do with this matter.
.........
Two days later.
The steward came to Jin Weilan to persuade the young master.
The eldest young master seemed to have been greatly stimulated. He had been shutting himself in his room for several days. No matter how the servants try to persuade him, they could not a word out of him.
Jin Weilan frowned.
Although she always quarreled with Jin Jingxiu, she was very worried about him in her heart.
If he shuts himself in the room without eating or drinking, he will definitely get sick.
Jin Weilan finally decided to take a look, walked to Jin Jingxiu's room, and knocked on the door.
There was no sound in the room.
She pushed open the door and walked in.
In the room, Jin Jingxiu was lying flat on the bed, his eyes were unfocused, and his whole body seemed to have lost his soul.
Jin Weilan frowned, "What's going on? How did you end up like this? What happened?"
Jin Jingxiu did not respond.
"Is it because of that woman in Jiang Mengyue?"
At the mention of Jiang Mengyue's name, Jin Jingxiu's expression shifted slightly before returning to its usual calm, his face now etched with deep despair and numbness.
Jin Wei Lan is so angry, what exactly was so good about that woman Jiang Mengyue? That this fool actually tormented himself like this!
Jiang Mengyue is indifferent and heartless and didn't care about him at all. Even if he loses half of his life, that woman would probably not be moved.
What’s important now is to persuade her brother so that he can leave the room.
"Jin Jingxiu, do you remember the condition you once promised me?"
Jin Weilan rolled up her sleeves, revealing a long scar on her forearm, resembling a centipede. "I got this scar while climbing trees to pick jujubes for you. At that time, you promised me that no matter what request I make, you would agree to it."
Jin Jingxiu's eyes moved and he looked at Jin Weilan.
Jin Weilan said, "Let's go take a stroll down the street!"
