Chapter 276: Chapter 276: It’s Just Her Husband’s Style~_1

”I beg the lady’s pardon, but I must deliver this letter directly into the master’s hands.” These were letters from the Emperor and the Crown Prince; unless he personally handed them to his master, Meng Zhuqing dared not entrust them to anyone else.

An Jing: ”...” How stubborn.

However, she could understand, so she didn’t kindly take the letter.

Then she let Meng Zhuqing continue to kneel there, holding up the letter with both hands, waiting for Xiao Changyi with utmost respect.

Only after Xiao Changyi finished washing the dishes and dried his hands did he take the letter, glanced at An Jing, and didn’t start reading it until An Jing walked up beside him.

An Jing was quite pleased with her husband’s self-awareness.

The letters contained no important content, just some words expressing concern about how well Xiao Changyi was living and hoping he would visit them more often.

After Xiao Changyi and An Jing finished reading the letters, he burned them to ashes. Seeing Meng Zhuqing had not left, Xiao Changyi’s eyes grew colder, ”Why haven’t you left yet?”

Meng Zhuqing was instantly frightened, and a cold sweat broke out on his back, but he still respectfully replied, ”The Emperor and the Crown Prince instructed me to tell the master that they hope he will definitely send them a return letter this time.”

Does this mean her husband has never replied to their letters before?

An Jing almost burst into laughter. Not bad, not bad, her husband has quite the personality.

Meng Zhuqing’s bundle, having been opened just now to take out the letter, was still open, revealing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone inside. Even if she guessed with her toes, she knew these were prepared for her husband. An Jing found it even more amusing, this servant sure had a hard job.

In consideration of the servant’s hard work, An Jing spoke up, ”Husband, writing a letter won’t take much time.”

Xiao Changyi’s face remained expressionless, and he didn’t speak but glanced at the dining table.

Meng Zhuqing immediately understood and hurriedly took out the writing materials from the bundle and arranged them on the dining table.

Xiao Changyi picked up the brush and wrote just two words on the paper, ’Don’t worry,’ then put the brush down.

An Jing: ”...” That was too simplistic...

But that was just her husband’s style~

Yet Meng Zhuqing treated it like a precious treasure. Once the ink was dry, he carefully folded the paper and placed it into a new envelope.

Once Meng Zhuqing had left, An Jing embraced Xiao Changyi’s waist and laughed, ”You are so presumptuous towards the Emperor and the Crown Prince, aren’t you afraid they will punish you?”

”They won’t.” He paused, ”Even if they did, I’m not afraid. I have a Death Exemption Token.”

”How many?”

”One.”

”But there are two of us, eh? A single Death Exemption Token can only save one person,” An Jing said deliberately.

”Then I’ll give it to you.”

”Why would you give it to me? Wouldn’t it be better to ask the Emperor for another one?”

Xiao Changyi actually nodded, ”That’s also good.”

”Pfft.” An Jing finally couldn’t help laughing out loud. ”So Death Exemption Tokens are not that valuable, eh? You can just ask for another one whenever.”

Xiao Changyi said, ”That day he let me choose a few, but seeing that I was just one person, I only took one.”

An Jing: ”...” This Emperor...

”If I had known I would meet you back then, I would have taken a few more.”

An Jing: ”...”

”But it doesn’t matter,” Xiao Changyi continued, ”even without the Death Exemption Token, I can still protect you.” He was far more useful than any Death Exemption Token.

An Jing fell silent for a moment, then chuckled, ”You say it as if I am destined to commit a capital offense. Alright, I was just teasing you. Don’t bother asking the Emperor for another Death Exemption Token. We’re so law-abiding, the chance of committing a capital crime will never happen to us.”
