Chapter 1454: The Warmest Alliance Master

Editor: Atlas Studios

Yun Shuang’s reaction frightened the maids who were delivering the dishes.

The maid who carried the rock sugar pork shoulder with oil and sauce suddenly didn’t know whether to go up or not.

Princess Hui An was not an insider, but she was not a fool.

Her shocked gaze swept across Jiang Guanchao and Palace Lord Yun a few times before she suddenly understood everything.

“You… you… Palace Lord Yun, you… are you pregnant with Alliance Master Jiang’s flesh and blood? No wonder Alliance Master Jiang kept escorting you back from Thousand Mountain Island… It turns out that you’ve long…”

Su Xiaoxiao muttered,”This is a beautiful misunderstanding.”

They had not done it long ago, but it had not been long since the deed was done.

Logically speaking, it shouldn’t be so soon…

Su Xiaoxiao took Yun Shuang’s pulse.

“Retreat.”

Shangguan Chuixue said to the maid.

“Yes, Boat Master!”

The maid hurriedly carried down the bowl of steaming rock sugar pork shoulder.

Without the greasy smell, Yun Shuang felt much better.

She subconsciously looked at Jiang Guanchao. His gaze was similar to Wei Xiaobao’s when she saw gold.

She hurriedly said, “I’m not pregnant!”

Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “From her pulse, her stomach isn’t feeling well. You have to eat light food these few days. Don’t let it be cold or greasy.”

Jiang Guanchao asked, “How long will it take to form the wedding vein?”

Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin. “Generally speaking, more than a month. If it’s Granny Nie and Elder Qiu, it might be a little earlier.”

Jiang Guanchao said calmly, “So it might just be that it’s not revealed yet.”

In other words, you’re bearing my flesh and blood!

Yun Shuang clenched her fists.

Princess Hui An asked Su Xiaoxiao in a low voice, “Why is Palace Lord Yun with Alliance Master Jiang? What does she like about him?”

Jiang Guanchao, who had ears, was dumbfounded.

Shangguan Chuixue gently instructed the maidservant to remove all the greasy dishes and replace them with a table of light and delicious food.

Throughout the entire process, there was not a word of awkwardness or unnecessary gossip. He only chatted with Yun Shuang about her experiences over the years. Occasionally, he would take care of Su Xiaoxiao and Princess Hui An and chat happily with the two juniors. He was not overly ingratiating, nor did he seem distant and polite. He controlled his boundaries well.

Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but sigh. Even Wei Ting and Second Brother had to admit defeat.

You didn’t lose in vain!

After dinner, the few of them stayed in the room to look at the colorful lights and scenery on the shore.

A small boat paddled over to sell fresh water chestnuts and lotus pods.

Shangguan Chuixue personally went to pick two large baskets.

When he was about to go to the second floor with the basket, he was blocked by Jiang Guanchao.

Jiang Guanchao looked at him coldly. “I don’t think it’s a coincidence that a person who has disappeared for many years suddenly appeared in front of her.”

Shangguan Chuixue smiled. “Then, Alliance Master Jiang, what do you think it will be?”

Jiang Guanchao looked at him deeply.

Shangguan Chuixue took a few steps forward with a smile. “Alliance Master Jiang, I’m not Ji Minglou.”

Jiang Guanchao felt the deep provocation in his eyes.

With that, Shangguan Chuixue walked forward.

However, the moment he brushed past Jiang Guanchao, he smelled a strange fragrance.

This was… the fragrance emitted by the Japanese Witch’s folding fan!

He grabbed Shangguan Chuixue’s arm.

Shangguan Chuixue shook his arm and broke free from Jiang Guanchao’s hand.

Jiang Guanchao was shocked and suddenly slapped him.

At this moment, Yun Shuang, Su Xiaoxiao, and Princess Hui An walked out of the room and came outside to take a breather.

Shangguan Chuixue’s eyes flashed as he retracted his hand and took Jiang Guanchao’s palm.

“Ah!”

With a scream, he flew back in a sorry state and fell to the deck. The lotus pod and water chestnuts in the basket scattered to the ground.

Su Xiaoxiao and the other two immediately looked over.

Jiang Guanchao still wanted to attack, but Yun Shuang tapped the tip of her foot and landed in front of Shangguan Chuixue, blocking Jiang Guanchao’s killing move with a palm.

“Jiang Guanchao!”

Yun Shuang shouted.

“Cousin…”

Shangguan Chuixue covered his chest with a painful expression. “Stop… Alliance Master Jiang didn’t do it on purpose… He just suspected that I had ill intentions towards you and wanted to test me.”

Jiang Guanchao said angrily, “Stop pretending!”

Yun Shuang said coldly, “My cousin is not good at martial arts. If you want to test him, there’s no need to kill him! Moreover, what right do you have to test my cousin!”

Jiang Guanchao pointed at Shangguan Chuixue and said, “He has the smell of the Japanese Witch on him. He’s a spy from Japan!”

Yun Shuang helped Shangguan Chuixue up and said mockingly, “The smell of the Japanese Witch… You really can’t forget another woman…”

Jiang Guanchao clenched his fists. “I…”

“Cousin, I’ll send you back to your room first.”

Yun Shuang helped the weak Shangguan Chuixue upstairs.

Shangguan Chuixue sat down on the chair.

Yun Shuang took a medicine bottle and poured two pills for him. “It’s the medicine Xiaoxiao brewed herself. It’s more effective than the pills outside.”

“Susu?”

Shangguan Chuixue asked.

“Yes, she’s also called Xiaoxiao,” Yun Shuang said.

Shangguan Chuixue ate the pill and said to Yun Shuang, “Actually, I treat Shuang’er as my biological sister. I was just joking just now. I didn’t expect Alliance Master Jiang to take it to heart…”

Yun Shuang interrupted him. “Has Cousin come into contact with the Japanese recently?”

Shangguan Chuixue was stunned. “Do you believe him?”

Yun Shuang said, “I know that Cousin won’t betray me, but recently, many Japanese people have infiltrated the Great Zhou. I’m worried that if they hide beside Cousin, they might be harmful to you.”

Shangguan Chuixue said softly, “I’ll investigate the people around me carefully.”

On the other side, Su Xiaoxiao supported herself with one hand on the railing and jumped down.

Princess Hui An was dumbfounded. “Hey! Sidekick… Wait for me!”

She held her skirt downstairs.

Su Xiaoxiao asked Jiang Guanchao, “You didn’t target your love rival on purpose, right?”

Jiang Guanchao snorted. “Love rival? Is he worthy?”

Su Xiaoxiao thought, You’ve already fallen into a vat of vinegar, but you’re still stubborn!

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “So, is there really a spy?”

“Don’t get involved,” Jiang Guanchao said. He looked at Princess Hui An, who was panting. “The two of you, don’t get involved.”

Princess Hui An was at a loss. “Get involved in what?”

At this moment, the boatman selling lotus seed pods and water chestnuts rowed over again.

Jiang Guanchao “threw” the two of them onto the boat as if he was carrying two stunned little phoenixes.

“Hey—” The boatman was about to scold him.

Jiang Guanchao threw a gold ingot to the boatman. “Send them ashore.”

The boatman hurriedly picked up the gold and bit it. His eyes lit up. “I’ll do it now! I’ll do it now!”

Cheng Xin didn’t like water. She didn’t get on the pleasure boat and waited by the shore.

This was also why Jiang Guanchao insisted on sending the two of them off the pleasure boat.

“Did something happen?”

Princess Hui An sensed that something was wrong.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Alliance Master Jiang thinks that there’s something wrong with Shangguan Chuixue.”

Princess Hui An said, “Does he? He looks like a good person.”

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Does Alliance Master Jiang look like a good person?”

Princess Hui An shook her head like a rattle.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “But he sent us away safely.”

“Ah…” Princess Hui An was speechless.
