Chapter 693 Xia's Gift
Ji Nanchuan suppressed his lust for her and said in a cold tone: "Mrs. Xia is here, please sit down!"
He wanted to let Xia Chuhe know that he didn't have to have her.
The fact that the other party had rejected him before was still weighing on Ji Nanchuan's mind, making him feel very embarrassed every time he thought about it.
Today, Xia Chuhe came to him on her own initiative, and he was determined to teach her a lesson.
After that, she didn't dare to be cold to me easily.
Seeing Ji Nanchuan's cold expression, Xia Chuhe didn't get angry, but found a seat and sat down.
She said, "Last time, it was because I was not thoughtful enough that I angered the old lady and the marquis."
"I have brought a small gift today to apologize to Madam Ji and the Marquis."
As soon as she finished speaking, Luzhu came in holding a big box.
When the box was opened, it was full of gold ingots and jewelry for women.
Xia Chuhe looked at him and said, "I know that the Marquis's Mansion is in great difficulty right now, and I don't have anything to give as a present, so I prepared some jewelry that I have collected over the years to give to the Marquis."
"I hope that the Marquis' Mansion and the Marquis can overcome this difficulty as soon as possible."
Ji Nanchuan was shocked when he saw the box of jewelry.
These things, added together, are worth at least 50,000 taels of silver. How could Xia Chuhe just give them to him like that?
If Ji Nanchuan said that the other party didn't like him, he would never believe it even if he was beaten to death.
He smiled and said enthusiastically: "Chu He, I like your gift very much. What do you want?"
His original intention was to test whether Xia Chuhe wanted to marry him.
But Xia Chuhe said, "After returning home, I thought about the Marquis's proposal again."
"Your Majesty is right. If I miss you, I'm afraid I will never meet a man as powerful as you again."
"But, my Lord, you also know that I have just come out of a failed relationship and I haven't gotten over it yet. I wonder if you can give me a little more time?"
She did this not without a purpose.
Ever since she learned from Mrs. Meng last time that her parents’ death was related to Mrs. Meng.
Xia Chuhe has always wanted to figure out the ins and outs of this matter.
However, Meng was the wife of the Marquis and was locked up in the backyard by Ji Nanchuan. It was impossible for her to see her.
Unless she has a suitable reason, she can enter and leave Yongning Marquis Mansion freely.
Otherwise, Xia Chuhe would never be able to see Meng at all.
After much thought, she decided to take the initiative to find Ji Nanchuan and show him a little kindness.
In this way, Ji Nanchuan would think that she wanted to marry him and would trust her more.
In this way, Xia Chuhe can enter and leave the Yongning Marquis Mansion freely.
At the same time, she can also take revenge on the Meng family.
Ji Nanchuan certainly didn't know what Xia Chuhe was thinking. He accepted the box of jewelry from her and was very happy.
To him, the gold, silver and jewelry sent by Xia Chuhe were like timely help.
With Luo Jingshen's support and these jewels, he will be able to make a comeback.
The fact that Xia Chuhe could easily take out so much gold, silver and jewelry meant that she had more than just these.
Maybe she has more silver that she hasn't taken out yet.
Thinking of this, Ji Nanchuan became even more enthusiastic towards Xia Chuhe.
He looked at her lovingly and said, "Chu He, I really love you, and I really want to marry you."
"As long as you agree, I can divorce Meng and marry you at any time."
Xia Chuhe smiled and said, "Of course I believe what the Marquis said. We were in love after all. Don't I know what kind of person you are?"
"It's just that we are both so old now. We are no longer as young and energetic as we were back then."
"Marriage is no small matter. It requires the consent of both parties' children. I don't know about the Marquis, but my children are still in Xiangxi. I want to ask for their opinions before making any plans. What do you think?"
As soon as Xia Chuhe finished speaking, Ji Nanchuan immediately said, "Of course I have no objection. Chuhe, you don't have to have any psychological burden. Just follow your plan."
"You don't need to worry about the Marquis's Mansion. As long as my mother nods her head in agreement, then I can marry you."
When he said this, he suddenly frowned.
"As for Mrs. Meng, if you mind, I can divorce her at any time."
Xia Chuhe curled her lips slightly and said, "There is no rush to divorce my wife. It won't be too late for you to make plans after I receive a reply from my children."
Xia Chuhe didn't care whether Ji Nanchuan divorced his wife or not. After all, she had no intention of marrying him.
The reason I said this is just to delay a little time.
This gave her enough time to get close to the Meng family and investigate what happened that year.
If Meng was divorced, it would be more difficult for her to investigate.
The two of them chatted more and more happily in the front hall, and Xia Chuhe's way of addressing Ji Nanchuan changed from Marquis to "Chuanlang".
This was how she privately called Ji Nanchuan when they first fell in love.
It has been many years since I last called this.
Xia Chuhe thought she would be too embarrassed to speak.
But unexpectedly, this name came out of my mouth naturally.
She didn't feel awkward at all.
Ji Nanchuan was very happy, as if at this moment, he saw again the Xia Chuhe who was as gentle as water and as elegant as orchid.
Back then, he loved her cold yet tender appearance.
This is something you can never learn from Meng.
After talking about Chengdu, Xia Chuhe felt that the time was about right.
She asked: "Chuanlang, what should I do if I want to come to see you in the future?"
"Today I asked Luzhu to bring you a visiting card, but they stopped her from entering or seeing you."
"Later, it was your butler who took over Luzhu's visiting card, so I was able to come to see you today."
Upon hearing this, Ji Nanchuan angrily scolded him coldly.
"These blind people dared to stop your people. Let me teach them a lesson later."
After he finished scolding, he pulled out a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Xia Chuhe.
"Chu He, this is my token of loyalty. With it, you can enter and leave the Yongning Marquis's residence at any time. No one dares to stop you."
"If you miss me, please come to Yongninghe Mansion to find me. The door of Ninghou Mansion will always be open to you."
Xia Chuhe was delighted, but she didn't show it on her face. She asked in surprise: "Chuan Lang, can I really come to the Marquis' Mansion to see you?"
Ji Nanchuan nodded and said, "Of course you can. You are the mistress I have chosen. No one in this mansion dares to stop you."
Xia Chuhe lowered her eyes slightly, a hint of darkness flashing across her eyes.
