Without waiting for Murong Kai to answer, Ah Man hurriedly chased after them. No matter how hard she tried, she was unable to catch up with the Empress Dowager and Ah She.
Instead, he saw a red letter at the foot of the mountain. It was not because Ah Man had good eyesight, but simply because the letter was glowing and could not be ignored.
The envelope was addressed to Princess Jiaoyang Su A'man.
Ah Man opened the envelope, and there were only two sentences in it: Ah Man girl, live a good life with Ah Kai. Keep the things the old woman gave you.
After reading the letter, Ah Man was left with shock. Was this Grand Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou really a human? Even gods wouldn't be so accurate in their predictions, right? She even predicted that he would come after her
When Ah Man went back, her face was full of disappointment. She now understood that the Empress Dowager was really doing this for Murong Kai's own good, otherwise she would not have stopped her and helped him to be married. So she didn't know how to tell Murong Kai that the Empress Dowager had left.
Murong Kai met Ah Man, who looked gloomy, halfway up the mountain and whispered, "She left because she felt she had nothing to say to me, not because you walked too slowly and couldn't catch up with her."
Although he had not met the Empress Dowager very often, Murong Kai still understood her character. The reason she left was that she didn't want to waste time talking to him. For her, the most troublesome thing was red tape, and she was too lazy to talk nonsense.
Ah Man handed the letter to Murong Kai. Murong Kai opened it and said softly, "Among all the great-grandchildren, the old ancestor loves me the most. Her words are all good advice. We should be obedient and live a good life."
Murong Kai's words were warm, with a heart-pounding tenderness that touched Ah Man's heart. The moment she lowered her head, her face couldn't help but turn red.
As she lowered her head, she handed the jade pendant that the Empress Dowager had stuffed into her hand after the wedding to Murong Kai.
Murong Kai looked at the jade pendant that fell into his hand and couldn't help but chuckle.
This time, it was no longer a phoenix that looked like a chicken, but two sparrows playing in the water.
But the carving of this sparrow is really... a waste of a good piece of jade.
When Murong Kai was about to return the jade pendant to Ah Man, he suddenly remembered what others had said about mandarin ducks playing in the water.
The mandarin duck carved by our ancestors is very abstract.
"Take it. With this jade pendant, my father and mother will never grant me another marriage."
"They are your father and mother. If the marriage cannot be granted, it is easy to insert a few concubines."
"Look at this jade pendant carefully. There are two mandarin ducks on it, not three or four. Anyone who wants to force me to have another woman is disobeying the order of the Empress Dowager. As far as I know, if a mandarin duck loses its mate, the other one will never live alone."
"If someone tries to force a woman on me, you'd better go and try to kill yourself. Then they won't dare to mess around again." Murong Kai suggested in a low voice, with a mischievous smile in his words.
"You have a father and a mother, right? If I really marry you, and your father and mother dare to force you to have a woman, I will ask my father to find me a prince consort."
"A'man, how dare you." Hearing A'man talking about marrying a prince consort, Murong Kai became anxious even though he knew it was a joke. That scene was something he didn't even want to think about.
What he regretted most now was that he had wanted to help Ah Man and others.
Just thinking about him made me feel that I was so stupid to have such an idea. In my life, I finally had an interesting girl who could move my heart and make me willing to fall into the love that I once feared, but he was so stupid as to want to give her away.
From now on, he will never have such thoughts again. No matter how his body is, he will keep Ah Man by his side, protect her, pamper her, and live a peaceful life with her.
