Jiang Tingyu handed over the Bulletproof Vest in Xia Yuhan's hands with some confusion. He looked at it from different angles and found nothing unusual except for the strange style and material of the clothing.
He had never seen such a garment in books, so he simply thought that Xia Yuhan was giving him a piece of fresh clothing and did not pay much attention to it.
"This treasure, my lord, must not be known by others. If anyone learns of its use, it may lead to a bloody storm."
"Oh? What is so special about this item?"
Xia Yuhan's words piqued Jiang Tingyu's curiosity.
"Reporting to my lord, this item is used for self-defense. My lord only needs to wear this clothing, and no matter how sharp the knife or how powerful the Hidden Weapon is, it cannot harm my lord in the slightest. My lord holds a high position but lacks the ability to protect himself. I believe this clothing is the best way for me to repay my lord! Therefore, I present this item to you."
Jiang Tingyu held the Bulletproof Vest in his hands, examining it closely, unable to believe that this thin garment could withstand any blades: "Is this truly so powerful? Could it be more formidable than the legendary golden silk armor?"
"You will know in due time, my lord. Please do not show this item to others to avoid unnecessary bloodshed."
Seeing Xia Yuhan's serious demeanor, which did not seem like a joke, Jiang Tingyu folded the Bulletproof Vest and hid it in his wide sleeves: "In that case, I thank you, Yuhan!"
In truth, he did not want any treasures because he did not care for them at all. However, when Xia Yuhan presented the seemingly inconspicuous Bulletproof Vest, he had the thought of accepting it.
"My lord, I have one more humble request," Xia Yuhan spoke at an opportune moment.
"Please speak, Yuhan!"
"I hope my lord can keep everything seen here today a secret! I do not wish to cause any unnecessary trouble!"
"Thus, Jiang Tingyu, I promise you!"
From beginning to end, Xia Yuhan maintained an air of mystery, leaving Jiang Tingyu somewhat puzzled, as he could not believe that a piece of clothing could stir up any significant turmoil.
He thought it was just Xia Yuhan being overly nervous...
Xia Yuhan could guess about seventy to eighty percent of Jiang Tingyu's thoughts; she naturally knew that he was currently half-believing and half-doubting her.
However, she firmly believed that eventually, he would understand the power of the Bulletproof Vest! At that time, he would believe every word she said.
In fact, she could have quietly taken out the Bulletproof Vest inside the house and discreetly given it to Jiang Tingyu, but she chose the most direct and naturally the most dangerous method!
Who was Jiang Tingyu? He was none other than the renowned Right Chancellor of the Azure Dragon Kingdom, a legendary figure known throughout the nation!
One misstep could lead to total failure; dealing with such an extraordinary legendary figure was not an easy task!
However, what prompted Xia Yuhan to reveal her secret to Jiang Tingyu was that he did not side with Canglong Hui nor with Cang Yile; he was a neutral party. If in the future Xia Yuhan found herself with nowhere to turn, uniting with Jiang Tingyu might not be impossible.
Yet aligning with such a legendary figure was no simple matter, so Xia Yuhan made the painful decision to give the Bulletproof Vest to Jiang Tingyu for his protection.
...
Therefore, her actions were not a momentary impulse but rather a well-considered decision. She hoped that in times of crisis in the future, the Right Chancellor of the Azure Dragon Kingdom would recognize her value and be willing to help her once again...
Before long, Xia Yuhan and Jiang Tingyu heard hurried footsteps coming from outside the house.
Jiang Tingyu just realized that the two of them, a man and a woman, had been alone in the same room for quite a long time. For him, this was not the main point; the main point was that during this time alone, he felt no discomfort whatsoever!
In the past, even when walking alongside a woman on the same level, he would feel an overwhelming annoyance...
Why was it that despite encountering countless beautiful women, he found Xia Yuhan to be the only one he did not dislike?
If it weren't for Xia Yuhan's appearance, he might have mistakenly thought that he was destined to live a life of solitude, never to love anyone again...
Xia Yuhan, just how capable are you?
Jiang Tingyu looked at Xia Yuhan with confusion for a moment, and before anyone outside came in, he elegantly took his seat and picked up the cold tea on the table, slowly savoring it.
"My lord, this tea..."
"It's nothing, just to throw people off the scent."
As soon as Jiang Tingyu finished speaking, General Xia and his group pushed open the slightly ajar door and walked in, bypassing the screen directly to where Jiang Tingyu was seated.
"Your servant Xia Zhongguo pays respects to the Right Chancellor!"
"Right Chancellor, it's good to see you well!"
Jiang Tingyu gracefully set down his teacup and returned the greeting to General Xia: "General Xia, please rise!"
Afterward, Jiang Tingyu turned to Canglong Hui and bowed: "Jiang Tingyu pays respects to Longhui Prince. If I had known earlier that Longhui Prince was coming to Xia Manor, I would not have acted so rashly!"
Canglong Hui scanned the room with a sharp gaze, focusing on Jiang Tingyu and Xia Yuhan, who were drinking tea together. They might be discussing something important!
His people would not engage in fights casually. Could it be that they encountered another force, someone secretly sent by Jiang Tingyu?
At this moment, he had not continued to send people to monitor the situation, leaving him unaware of what had just transpired between the two, missing a great opportunity!
"With such a vast territory, where is there a place that the Azure Dragon Kingdom's Right Chancellor cannot go? Lord Jiang has always come and gone freely; it’s only a matter of whether he wants to go somewhere or not."
Jiang Tingyu bowed once more to Canglong Hui and said, "I dare not impose. I came here merely to investigate some matters. Now that I have asked all my questions, I will take my leave!"
As he raised his head, he met Canglong Hui's gaze with his own, wearing an elegant smile that showed no regard for Canglong Hui's emotions. Without giving Canglong Hui any chance to respond, he turned and walked toward the door.
General Xia quickly followed him out to see him off.
He had achieved his goal of making Canglong Hui mistakenly believe that the opposing force was Jiang Tingyu himself. Therefore, lingering any longer would be pointless and merely a waste of time.
As for why he did this, he himself was starting to find it hard to understand.
"Jiang Tingyu, you—"
Canglong Hui never expected that Jiang Tingyu would disregard him in front of so many people, infuriated to the point of wanting to skin Jiang Tingyu alive!
Xia Yuhan watched this scene in confusion, especially not understanding why Jiang Tingyu would stand on her side and speak for her.
At this moment, only Canglong Hui and Xia Yuhan remained in the room...
"Xia Yuhan, don't think that with Jiang Tingyu backing you up, This King can't deal with you!"
Xia Yuhan looked at Canglong Hui with disdain, her voice cold: "Yu Han is unaware of what Longhui Prince is doing? If according to what the prince said, Lord Jiang came to Xia Manor to support Yu Han. Then since Longhui Prince has also come to Xia Manor, he should also be here to support Yu Han. But that's not the case, so how can it be said that Lord Jiang is supporting Yu Han?"
Canglong Hui swallowed hard, never expecting that this Xia Yuhan had such a sharp tongue! However, he would not show it on the surface!
"Xia Yuhan, don't spread rumors! Just wait, one day, This King will prove to you that Jiang Tingyu is backing you up! And if it weren't for you, Xia Yuhan, my relationship with Jiang Tingyu wouldn't be so strained! It must be you, this vixen, who has enchanted Jiang Tingyu, otherwise there's no way to explain his behavior!"
"Yu Han wants to know one thing: if Yu Han were not beautiful and charming, would Longhui Prince still want to marry Yu Han as Consort Wang? But Lord Jiang came here this time solely for Yu Han's case."
"If Yu Han is truly a vixen, then perhaps she has only enchanted the prince, right?"
Canglong Hui did not expect to be outmaneuvered by Xia Yuhan: "Xia Yuhan, stop spreading rumors!"
At this moment, General Xia had arrived at the door. Hearing the furious roar from Canglong Hui, he hurried inside and scolded Xia Yuhan: "Yu Han, how can you speak to the prince like that? Hurry up and apologize to him!"
To Canglong Hui's surprise, this woman, Xia Yuhan, actually obediently apologized. However, he knew well that this apology was not sincere because today it was he who had lost.
Canglong Hui didn't want to leave with a face full of shame and waved his hand repeatedly: "Enough, enough, This King can't accept such a grand gesture! Farewell!"
He had achieved his purpose for coming here and saw no need to linger any longer; next, he needed to go to the palace to discuss this matter with his Mother Empress!
General Xia, watching the furious departure of Canglong Hui, growled at Xia Yuhan, then hurried off to see him off.
Suddenly, the entire room fell silent, leaving Xia Yuhan feeling quite uncomfortable.
“Jiang Tingyu, Canglong Hui, what exactly are they here for? Why do I always feel so uneasy?”
“And why is it that I always get dragged into their troubles? I can't even hide from it?”
While murmuring to herself, Qiao'er rushed in, excitedly speaking loudly: “Second Sister, today, it's the Azure Dragon Kingdom's Right Chancellor and the famous Longhui Prince coming to see us, Second Sister! I think after this, who would dare to bully Second Sister?”
“Qiao'er, can't you speak properly? Why do you have to be so sarcastic?”
Qiao'er seemed not to hear her reprimand and continued shouting: “Second Sister, the general is asking for you in the study; there are important matters to discuss with you!”
Xia Yuhan impatiently scolded Qiao'er: “Can't you just speak nicely?”
Qiao'er innocently shrugged her shoulders: “Yes, Second Sister, Qiao'er knows she was wrong!”
Xia Yuhan stood up sulkily and as soon as she stepped out of the room, she ran into Xia Wan'er, who looked full of resentment. At that moment, she realized she had just wrongly blamed Qiao'er!
