As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 493
After the maid brought back Yu's words, Shalan didn't say a word and just went to the bed.

The maid relaxed a little, thinking that she was going to be obedient and rest.

Unexpectedly, before she could completely let go of her breath, she suddenly picked it up again - Shalan took a thick cloak from the bed and put it on herself, and then walked out.

This startled the maid, and she quickly chased after her: "Girl, it's so late, it's very dark outside, and the wind is strong. You are heavy, how can you go out?"

Shalan didn't listen and just stumbled forward with her big belly.

The two maids did not dare to stop her, so they had to follow Shalan to protect her, hoping that nothing would happen to her.

Otherwise, none of them would be able to bear the burden if something goes wrong with their children.

Shalan has hardly moved around since she moved into this mansion. She took two steps in this huge Xie mansion and lost her way.

She stopped in the yard and looked around.

The maid advised again: "It's so cold outside, what should you do if you catch a cold? You -"

"The door."

Shalan spoke coldly, speaking in fluent Chinese: "I'm going to the door and waiting for him."

"But--"

Shallan didn't listen to the maid's nonsense and continued to move forward.

The maid was afraid that she would cause trouble by running rampant, and was also afraid that something serious would happen to her body, so she quickly stepped forward to support her: "I will take you out, please walk slower."

Shalan didn't say a word, and followed the maid's support as she walked toward the door step by step.

She has a big belly and it is difficult for her to move. Now that it is night, the maid is afraid that something might happen, so she walks even slower.

Shalan didn't know the direction and could only let her maid support her and move forward patiently.

It seemed like I had walked for a long time from my yard to the gate... Just when I arrived at the gate, a series of horseshoes suddenly sounded on the long street in the distance.

Shallan recognized the sound of horse hooves.

She took two quick steps, her eyes fixed on the direction of the sound of the horse's hoofs, and she saw Xie Changqing, whom she had longed for, riding his horse.

The horse stopped in front of the gate of Duke Liang's Mansion. Xie Changqing saw the clumsy Shalan standing there. His brows immediately furrowed. He got off his horse, threw his whip on the saddle ring and walked towards Shalan.

"What are you running out for?"

Xie Changqing's voice was cold and he turned to the maid aside: "Can you serve others?"

The maid said tremblingly: "The girl must come out and wait for the second master. I can't stop her..."

Xie Changqing was startled and his eyes fell on Shalan's face.

Shalan nodded, opened her mouth and said hesitantly: "New Year... It's Chinese New Year. Everyone seems very happy and lively. I don't want to be alone. I want you... to accompany me."

Xie Changqing's heart moved. He gathered her cloak and picked her up and walked inside. "Then there's no need to come to the door. Don't I know the way?"

"Wait a moment!"

Sha Lan grabbed the sleeve of Xie Changqing's arm and said, "They said there was a lot of fun outside."

Xie Changqing frowned and moved his eyes from Sha Lan to the two maids.

The two maids immediately became more nervous and even trembled uncontrollably.

"I want to see."

Shalan put her hands around Xie Changqing's neck, "I haven't seen it, I want to see it."

Xie Changqing was silent for a moment, then put her down again, and ordered the soldiers behind him to prepare the car. Then he turned to Shalan and said, "Just take a look on the street, don't get out of the car."

Shallan nodded.

After the carriage was ready, Xie Changqing took Sha Lan into the carriage and ordered the carriage driver to turn to the busy main street.

Naturally, the two serving maids did not follow.

There was no place for them in the carriage, and Xie Changqing didn't need them.

The two looked at each other.

One person said hesitantly: "Is that really the second master? Aren't you saying that the second master is cold and unkind? Why does he agree to whatever Miss Lan says?" "Maybe it's because Miss Lan is pregnant."

The other person nodded: "Probably."

But after all, with the second master taking them away, they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Shalan was really not an easy master to take care of, and she was pregnant, so they took care of her very carefully.

……

Xie Changqing asked the coachman to drive the carriage to the corner of the lively main street and stop. When he opened the carriage window, Shalan saw the street was brightly lit, crowded with people, and there were shouts and shouts one after another.

This was a sight she had never seen in Molan or Danzhou before.

Shallan couldn't help but lean toward the window.

Xie Changqing frowned and took her back into his arms, "You want to blow the wind and catch the cold again to torment me, don't you?"

When she first returned to the capital, she had been sick for half a month due to discomfort during pregnancy, rushing on the road, and the cold. She was unwilling to drink the soup and medicine, and the food did not suit her appetite, which made her very weak.

There was nothing the maid could do.

He was the one watching and watching every time.

He is a grown man, when has he ever taken care of a woman so carefully in his life?
But who told her to be pregnant with her own child.

He couldn't bear the look in his mother's eyes either.

Now that he knew she was sick and torturing, he naturally had to keep an eye on her.

"Look at it that way."

Xie Changqing closed the car window a little, leaving only a gap, but it did not block Shalan's view.

A scent of fragrance drifted in from the gap in the car window. Shalan was so excited that she couldn't help but pull Xie Changqing's clothes: "I'm hungry."

"What to eat?"

Shalan pointed to a restaurant not far away.

Xie Changqing took a look and saw that the distance was not far. The lobby was full of people and he wondered if there were any vacancies in the private seats upstairs.

After pondering for a moment, Xie Changqing got up and got out of the car, taking Sha Lan out of the car as well.

He held Shalan's hand and walked along the crowd, his tall body protecting Shalan in his arms.

When he reached the door of the restaurant, he let go of Shalan a little.

A guy came over to greet me enthusiastically.

After asking, Xie Changqing found out that because tonight there would be river lanterns and some performances on the river, some people had reserved all the seats here early in order to enjoy the performances and watch the river lanterns.

The hall was already crowded.

Xie Changqing frowned for a moment, "Then bring a few things to eat on the carriage."

Sha Lan raised her eyes and looked at Xie Changqing, "What is a river lantern, and what is a performance?"

Xie Changqing: "..."

The waiter explained enthusiastically: "You can make wishes by putting out river lanterns...Originally, people put out river lanterns only during the Lantern Festival. But in recent years, people have been living and working in peace and contentment, so people put out river lanterns on New Year's Eve."

"Girl... No, madam, look -" the clerk pointed to several rows of tall lamp stands not far away: "There are lamps there that can be carried and played with, and there are also lamps that can be put into the river."

"You can buy them, write your wishes on them, and send them to the river."

The clerk saw that Shalan was a foreigner, so he explained it very carefully.

Xie Changqing had a serious face.

He was not interested in this at all, and he didn't like the noisy place very much. He just wanted to return home quickly.

But the guy's introduction clearly piqued Shallan's interest.
