Chapter 161 Do you have a goal?
The day after her eldest brother came back, Jiang Li handed over all the household affairs to her third brother, and then went to the Grand Princess's residence with Xie Lan. However, she did not forget her impoliteness of not paying respect to the Grand Princess during her last visit, so she specially prepared generous gifts this time. After all, Murong Xue really helped her a lot this time.
After arriving at the Princess's residence, Jiang Li asked the maid to knock on the door. The concierge had an impression of this young lady, and when she arrived, he introduced himself and hurriedly and warmly welcomed the group into the residence.
Murong Xue had already known the news in advance and was waiting for Jiang Li's arrival in the main hall. At the same time, she also sent someone to inform the Grand Princess. When they stepped into the main hall, the Grand Princess was already sitting there.
"Greetings, Grand Princess." The mother and daughter bowed and greeted in unison.
"Get up! Mrs. Jiang, Miss Jiang."
Xie Lan and her daughter stood up, slowly sat down, and expressed their gratitude to the Grand Princess, thanking Murong Xue for the help she provided during this trip to Huizhou.
The eldest princess responded politely, but her eyes involuntarily drifted to the girl from the Jiang family who was talking to Axue not far away. She quietly observed the interaction between the two, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, as if she was very satisfied with their conversation.
Not long after, the eldest princess noticed the look of hesitation when Miss Jiang looked at Axue, and a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes. She smiled softly and asked, "Miss Jiang, do you have something interesting to share with us? I see that you look at Axue as if you have something to say, but you are a little hesitant."
Hearing the question from the Grand Princess, the girl from the Jiang family showed a shy smile on her face. She slowly stood up, walked to the Grand Princess, and replied softly: "Grand Princess, you can just call me Li'er. The elders in my family call me that." Her eyes were always on the Grand Princess, full of respect.
The eldest princess smiled and nodded, her eyes showing admiration for Jiang Li. She sighed, "Well, Li'er is a nice name. And you look more lively than our Ah Xue. Madam Jiang is so lucky to have such a lovely daughter like you." After that, she turned her head to look at Xie Lan who was sitting beside her, her eyes revealing envy.
Xie Lan quickly stood up and responded respectfully: "Grand Princess, you are too kind. This child is a naughty little kid at home and can't sit still for a moment. Look, he just sat down for a short while and he can't sit still anymore." Although she said words of disdain, her eyes were full of love and pride for Jiang Li.
"Mom, I don't have it. It was Sister Mu who told me last time that she had something really interesting and said she would take me to see it when I come back. I can't wait!" Jiang Li explained quickly.
"Oh?" The eldest princess raised her eyebrows and looked at Xie Lan: "Axue, in that case, you can take Li'er to your place to play for a while. I just want to talk to Madam Jiang. I also think it's a bit boring to let you youngsters sit here and accompany us two old people." After saying that, the eldest princess turned to look at Xie Lan, and they smiled at each other.
"Okay!" Jiang Li responded happily, took Murong Xue's hand and was about to leave.
"Wait!" Master Xie Lan suddenly called them.
Jiang Li looked back at Xie Lan in confusion, only to see Xie Lan smiling and saying to her, "Li'er, remember to listen to Ah Xue and don't run around, okay?"
"I know. Thank you, mother!" Jiang Li nodded obediently, then followed Murong Xue out of the room.
"The Grand Princess and mother are not old at all. They are still young!" When reaching the door, Jiang Li suddenly turned around and said something mischievously, making the Grand Princess and Xie Lan laugh.
"Mrs. Jiang is so lucky to have such a well-behaved daughter. It would be great if my daughter Xue could live as freely as Li'er!" The eldest princess sighed. Her daughter Xue was a miserable child, having lost her parents since she was young. She had spent so many years in the northwest. She felt distressed just thinking about it, but the child was too sensible.
"Grand Princess, please relax. Ah Xue is kind and capable now. Everyone in the capital praises Ah Xue. Besides, it is Ah Xue's luck to have you by her side." Xie Lan said from her heart. She felt distressed when she first saw this girl, but after getting to know her for a long time, she found that this child was really capable.
"Besides, we are all here now, aren't we? Ah Xue will definitely have a good home when she grows up." Xie Lan said as he thought about his third son, wondering if he would have that blessing.
When the eldest princess heard this, a relieved smile appeared on her face: "Yes, I hope so."
Xie Lan looked at the expression of the Grand Princess, and she couldn't help but feel a surge of sympathy in her heart. She knew that the Grand Princess had always cared for and loved Ah Xue, and Ah Xue was also a very filial and sensible child.
"Grand Princess, don't worry, Axue will definitely be happy. And with Axue's intelligence and talent, her future achievements will definitely be limitless." Xie Lan comforted.
The eldest princess nodded and said with emotion: "I just hope she can find someone who truly loves her and cares for her, so that she can live a stable and happy life."
Xie Lan gently patted the eldest princess's hand to show her understanding and support. They are all mothers, full of expectations and blessings for their children's future.
The two continued chatting, and the topic revolved around Axue."
"This child has been sensible since she was young. She refused to tell me a word about the hardships she suffered. I will not interfere with her future fate as long as she likes it. She has suffered a lot in the past ten years. I hope she can live more comfortably in the future." The eldest princess said with heartache.
After Xie Lan heard this, he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion in his heart. He knew that Ah Xue had experienced too much suffering and hardship, but she always remained strong and sensible.
"Oh, do you have a target?" Xie Lan couldn't help it when he said this.
The eldest princess smiled slightly and shook her head: "It's still early, there's no rush for this kind of thing."
Xie Lan nodded to show her understanding. She knew that relationships take time to develop and grow, and one cannot rush for success.
"She hasn't gone out much since she came back, and she doesn't want to interact with others. I'm puzzled that she went out with you this time!" The eldest princess was confused again.
Xie Lan explained with a smile: "Maybe Li'er is too clingy, haha."
The eldest princess nodded thoughtfully: "No, no, Li'er is very cute, but it's good this way, it's better than being stuck at home all day."
"Li'er rashly called Axue this time, and I felt so sorry at the time. But guess what, Axue was so helpful along the way. When we arrived in Huizhou, she and my Sanlang worked on the case together, and they cooperated very well. It was really all thanks to Axue." Xie Lan began to talk about what happened to them in Huizhou again.
"You said that Axue and your Sanlang are working on a case together? Is that true?" The Grand Princess found it unbelievable.
