Pet Addiction: The Prince’s Desire to Spoil His Pet - Chapter 212

Chapter 212: Because I Like Shu Nuan (16) 

“Are you really going to marry her?” 

Ji Xili was quite shocked. She’d never thought that her brother would be in such haste to get married. 

Ji Xubai nodded and raised his lips into a smile. He said, “Elder sister, rest assured that I will get what I want by any means. I won’t keep backing down like you.” 

Ji Xili, having become accustomed to her younger brother’s sarcastic loquacity, remarked, “I just wanted to warn you that our father’s current wife will not sit aside and do nothing as you marry that girl and start having children.” 

Ji Xubai sat down at the table, poured a cup of tea, and took a sip. He muttered, “If she dares to make a move against my child, I will make sure her son’s survival becomes an issue.”

‘Returning to Beichuan, life has begun to feel good again,’ Shu Nuan wrote in a letter.
 

She hadn’t forgotten to send a letter with her address to Wen Zhigu. After signing her name at the bottom of the letter, she put down her brush and flexed her sore left hand. She had been practicing writing with it for a while. Although her handwriting was not as beautiful as when she wrote with her right hand, it was barely visible. 

Dang! 

Hearing some movement from the outside, Shu Nuan raised her head and looked out of the window. She saw Xuan Jiu holding a few branches of red plum blossom and walking towards her. He placed them into the vase on the window sill. He said, “The garden is full of plum blossoms. It’s pretty. Princess, do you remember when we were here as kids?” 

“I remember.” 

At that time, her temper had been a little stubborn. A’Che hadn’t let her climb the tree, yet she’d insisted on doing it anyway. As a result, she’d broken her knee, and A’Che hadn’t talked to her all day long. She knew she had made a mistake but refused to give in. Eventually, Chen Bo had made them reconcile. After that, A’Che had carried her to the doctor, who told them there would be no scarring. Finally, she’d admitted her mistake to A’Che. 

Now that she thought about it, she missed the ignorance of her younger self, unaware of the immensity of heaven and earth, and ignorant of worldly affairs, even while knowing that her own father wished to get rid of her. 

“I told Chen Bo that we’ll have lunch later. Let’s go to the plum garden together while the weather is fine!” 

“Okay.” 

A few days ago, the plaster on Shu Nuan’s right hand was removed. Her right hand still couldn’t lift anything, let alone write anything. 

While changing clothes that day, Shun Nuan found that the mark on her collarbone had truly disappeared. It was as if the mark had led her into a dream. As soon as the mark disappeared, she’d awoken from the illusion.
 

After changing clothes, ShunNuan went to the plum garden with Xuan Jiu and Chen Bo. 

On the way, they discussed the matter of starting a business. Chen Bo expressed his support. 

“You don’t have to worry about the matter of silver. Yuan Fei’s savings to Xiao Nuan have been kept, in case Xiao Nuan has nothing.” 

Seeing Chen Bo mentioning her own mother, Shu Nuan’s smile dimmed a little, but she quickly adjusted her emotions and said, “I’m not sure if I can do this well. I think the first thing is to visit the town tomorrow morning.” 

Xuan Jiu responded immediately, “I will go with the princess.” 

Chen Bo nodded, agreeing with their words. 

The next day, Shu Nuan and Xuan Jiu entered a blacksmith’s shop and asked the owner about the manufacturing of weapons. Unsurprisingly, everyone needed to be armed at all times during the war, not to mention the lack of weapons in the army. 

The waterways of Beichuan didn’t have any escort convoy for the protection of trade goods. If they wanted to start such a group, they’d have to arm them as well. 

It was best to start with the escort convoys and go from there, so she wouldn’t attract any ill intent by jumping into the weapons manufacturing industry.
