Chapter 791: Chapter 791: The Iron Fist of the Niece
Jiang Mubai still had a gentle smile, seemingly not at all surprised.
He laughed and said, “You already have Gucheng, isn’t that enough?”
“Gucheng is only with me temporarily; he’s not mine.”
“Oh? You don’t want Gucheng?”
“Of course I want him, especially so. But I know that Gucheng is a capable man by my uncle’s side, destined to follow my uncle through life and death. I, as someone who stays in the palace, shouldn’t try to keep him by force. Gufeng, on the other hand…”
“Gufeng is also quite capable.”
“Then why did you almost kill him?”
“Military law is ruthless.”
“Uncle, I understand your military law, and I absolutely support and uphold it. However… I did intentionally cause that situation, and I was prepared to get hurt. It had nothing to do with Gufeng.”
“So you bring him out, and I didn’t stop you, did I?”
“Will you agree or not?!” Jiang Ning pounded on his back.
“Cough, cough!” The general grimaced with a bitter smile and waved his hand, “Your uncle is old and can’t withstand the iron fists of a girl like you. Go back and sit down!”
“Will you give it?”
“I will!” Jiang Mubai’s expression seemed to say, even if you want the moon, your uncle will go to the sky and pluck it for you to play with. “Whatever you see in this room, take it.”
As expected, Jiang Ning stood in the middle of the room, looking around.
In this study, all the items were naturally of high quality, otherwise, they wouldn’t be worthy of being displayed in the general’s study.
Jiang Ning carefully examined the room and finally pointed, “I want this painting!”
It was the painting that was currently spread out on the table.
Handwritten by General Jiang himself.
Jiang Mubai was overjoyed, “I told your father long ago that of all the Jiang Family children, only Seventh Sister has good taste. He didn’t believe it. Among all the good things in your uncle’s room, you singled out this painting. Good eye, indeed! Hahaha!”
“Uncle, are you willing to give it to me?”
“If it were someone else, I might really be reluctant. But since it’s my little niece who wants it, I’ll definitely give it.” The general waved his hand grandly, “I’ll have someone frame the painting and send it to the East Palace. You can hang it up.”
“Uncle, you’re so thoughtful!” Jiang Ning smiled happily.
“It’s getting late. I’ll have the kitchen prepare some good dishes, and you stay for dinner,” Jiang Mubai said.
“I really want to have a drink with my uncle, but I can’t be back too late,” Jiang Ning laughed, “On the fifth of next month, I will definitely come back and have a good drink with you.”
Jiang Mubai’s eyes lit up, “You still remember your uncle’s birthday?”
“What child doesn’t remember their parents’ birthdays? No matter if I forget other things, these are the things I must remember for a lifetime,” Jiang Ning said with a smile, “I’ll definitely prepare a big gift for you.”
“Ah, child, you don’t need to go to such trouble; your uncle doesn’t lack anything.” While General Jiang said the polite words, his face was blooming with anticipation.
Jiang Ning was also happy.
She liked seeing the people around her happy.
Moreover, she had gained Gufeng.
Before leaving, she talked with Jiang Mubai about the war in Silla and learned that after celebrating his birthday next month, her uncle would have to leave the capital again to station at the border.
As the war between Great Sheng and Silla broke out, Rouran would certainly not miss this opportunity.
The mantis catches the cicada, but the oriole is behind.
This time, Jiang Mubai’s mission was to be that oriole, taking care of Rouran in the end.
