Chapter 547 'The property returns to its original owner'

When Jiang Tang woke up again, he felt like he didn't know what day it was.

Until she turned her head and saw a tall figure sitting on the bedside, she was startled and almost screamed. The shock was clearly evident in her beautiful, moist eyes.

Xiao Yinhan smiled and reached out to touch her face. Unexpectedly, as soon as she moved, she heard a "pop" and something fell to the ground and broke.

Both of them were stunned.

He reacted the fastest. When he looked down, he saw two broken hostas lying on the ground. His originally casual and lazy brows instantly wrinkled.

He had a very good memory, but he never remembered that he had given Tangtang such a cheap and simple hairpin.

Xiao Yinhan reached out and picked up the hairpin, and the aura on his body became deep and depressing. Although his face was still expressionless, his mind was already running rapidly, who was trying to please him desperately.

Jiang Tang's feeling was never wrong. Only when he was in front of her would this person restrain his sharpness and pretend to be a harmless and well-behaved dog. In fact, the domineering and authoritarian nature in his heart had never changed, and he was even more paranoid than before.

At this time, it was just a strange hosta, which almost aroused his dark possessive desire.

"Your Majesty."

A warm and soft little hand gently covered the injury on the back of his hand, and Xiao Yinhan came back to his senses as if he was frightened.

"Give me."

Jiang Tang stretched out his hand towards him, his eyes gentle but cold inside.

Xiao Yinhan's fingers were already exerting slight force, and he could hardly control himself and wanted to destroy this eyesore.

But when he heard her words, there were only two words in them, but he didn't dare to disobey them.

"Where did this come from? Why haven't I seen it before?"

His thin lips curved into a smile, and he put the slightly warm hosta back into the girl's hand.

Jiang Tang said nothing, and looked down at the broken hosta carefully.

Unfortunately, still nothing was found.

Except for the strange premonition deep in my heart, there is really nothing special about this hairpin.

"It was a gift from the county magistrate's wife. I thought it looked pretty, so I accepted it."

Realizing that there was really no way to find out anything from it, Jiang Tang smiled and put the hosta back into the man's hand: "Since it is broken, it means that it is not destined for me. You must have lost it."

One sentence made the man who was staring at her face lower his eyes.

After taking a quick look, I found it was unremarkable, nothing special.

"Um."

Xiao Yinhan responded casually and threw the hosta on the bedside table. After a while, a maid came in to take it away and prepare to throw it away.

Jiang Tang's eyes followed the maid as she left, and then slowly looked back.

Even if she found the man next to her staring at her thoughtfully, she didn't care at all.

From the moment they met again, she didn't hide anything intentionally.

Whatever he thinks, the worse he thinks about her, the better.

But even so, this person didn't follow her ideas, which made her quite frustrated.

-

"No, you don't have to follow me. I can find my own way."

After Bai Muzhi said this, he no longer wanted to pay attention to the guards behind him.

She buried her head and walked forward, unable to calm down the turbulent emotions in her heart.

But after she said it, the guards who were following her didn't dare to really care about anything. They looked at each other and followed her hurriedly.

No matter what, the mission is complete only if the person is escorted back to the room safely.

only……

"Miss Bai, this is not the way back to your yard..."

The guard's reminder made Bai Muzhi subconsciously stop and look up...

This is indeed not the way back to her yard, but... leading to that person's residence.

Why did she go this way?

Or maybe deep down in her heart, she just wanted to go this way.

"I see."

She spoke again, only to find that her voice was extremely harsh.

It took a lot of effort for her to force herself to turn around and walk on the "right" path, but her heart still felt so sad.

She was so uncomfortable that she almost couldn't breathe. She just wanted to find a quiet place with no one and cry loudly.

"Miss Bai, are you okay? Do you want to ask the doctor to come over and take a look?"

Bai Muzhi's pale face and lost look made the guard quite uneasy and couldn't help but make suggestions.

But he was rejected as soon as he opened his mouth: "No, I'm fine, I don't need..."

"ah!"

When he raised his hand, the back of his hand seemed to hit something, and he heard a low cry.

Then there was the sound of something rolling to the ground.

"Why are you walking? Didn't you see anyone here?"

The guard was the first to speak, the maid who walked without eyes.

Bai Muzhi stared at the two hostas at her feet, and an inappropriate sentence flashed through her mind:

"You will receive the map, hidden in the hosta."

"What is this? Did I break it?"

The maid was picking up broken jade. She was stunned when she heard the sound. She met the woman's doubtful gaze and hurriedly explained: "No, no, it's not the miss who broke it. It was already broken. The master ordered the slave to take care of it..."

"Can you show it to me?"

A pair of hands with slender fingers stretched out in front of the maid, asking her to swallow what she had not finished speaking.

"Yes, it's okay..." OK.

It's something that the master and his wife don't want in the first place. It shouldn't be a problem if the guests want to see it, right?

My mind was busy thinking, and my hand had already been lowered before thinking.

It fell again, and the original two-section jade hairpin was broken into four pieces. The jade on the body of the hairpin was completely invisible, but the shape of the magnolia flower on the head of the hairpin was well preserved, as if there was no damage at all.

Bai Muzhi reached out and only took away the hairpin. She picked it up and looked at it. She was obviously looking at it, but her eyes were hollow, as if she were looking at something else through them, which was inexplicably scary.

The maid didn't dare to speak, so she could only wait quietly. The guards next to her looked at each other and were about to say, "It's just a broken hairpin, why don't you throw it away."

The girl's mouth was closed, as if she was counting something in a low voice.

one two three.

When Bai Muzhi counted to the third time, she heard a "click" sound, as if something was opened.

The guards on the side naturally heard it, but they didn't think it was the hairpin. Instead, they subconsciously looked around, wondering where they were thinking.

What the man said came true. Bai Muzhi's hands trembled slightly, but he still restrained himself and said in a calm tone: "Can you give me this hairpin? I like it very much."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "But now the master wants to lose..." The maid hesitated.

"Since you've thrown it away, you don't want it anymore. I'll take it, is that okay?"

Bai Muzhi became forceful when she spoke, and she couldn't refute such words.

The maid looked at the two guards beside her in confusion, as if asking them "is this okay?"

But before he could get the answer, the "guest" who got the hosta had already turned around and left.

As for her answer...it doesn't seem that important.,

"Since Miss Bai wants it, then give it to her."

The guard hesitated for a moment. It was just a broken hairpin. Is there any difference between losing it and being taken away?

Bai Muzhi walked in front, her face seemed calm, but only she knew what she was thinking.

map,

Is there a map on this?

She should give it to Xiao Yinhan, after all, the woman wanted to give it to him at this time.

But when she thought of the injustice she had suffered today, the anger in her heart could not go away.

Don’t want to give it to him, don’t give it to him,

If he wants it, just come and beg her.

With this thought, Bai Muzhi returned to her yard. The maid who was waiting came up to say hello, but she didn't seem to see it. She walked back to the room and closed the door.

It wasn't until the door closed that she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she didn't know where the map the woman was talking about was going to, she knew that this place was very important when she recalled the attitudes of the two of them at that time.

It must be important...

If that's the case, then come and beg me.

After her breathing calmed down, Bai Muzhi picked up the hosta and looked at it.

Compared with when she first got it, the "Magnolia" seemed no different. She thought it contained something like gauze and silk, but there wasn't.

She frowned, picked it up and looked at it over and over.

Except for the "click" sound just now, there is really nothing now.

And this time, she counted three more times, but there was no response.

what happened?

Did that woman lie to me?

But what's the point of lying to her?

So in the end...

Suddenly, her eyes swept across the candlelight, and she felt blessed in her heart. Since she didn't "hide" anything, could there be another way?

Walking to the window, she slowly raised the hosta and turned it little by little towards the sun...

After a while, an amazing scene really happened.

Under the perspective of the sun, the ebony table reflects the curved and straight lines. At first glance, it really looks like a map.

At this moment, her heart beat violently.

She really got the "map" in her hand.

[Host, the hosta’s secret was discovered by the heroine! 】

Jiang Tang was yawning. He had obviously slept for a long time, but he was still very sleepy.

"What map?"

When she asked, everyone was a little confused. What kind of map? Why wasn't she?

[That’s right, it’s the hosta you got from the county magistrate’s wife. There’s a map hidden in it, and now the heroine knows it…]

As the system explained while jumping around, Jiang Tang finally understood what was going on.

"So this 'hosta' was actually prepared by Concubine Fang for Bai Muzhi, right?" Jiang Tang asked.

System: [...should be.]

Jiang Tang smiled, but the system was confused: [Why are you laughing, host? Aren't you angry? All the ducks you got flew away, you obviously got it first...]

"But I got it. I broke it and I didn't find the map."

Jiang Tang's reaction was very calm, but what he said shocked the system: "It means that if it is not mine, even if you get it, you will lose it and return it to its original owner."

Presumably, this was Concubine Fang's idea and the purpose of sending it - to provoke.

[What's wrong, host, you are overthinking. Where did something come from and return it to its original owner? The heroine is obviously shameless. She picked up everything you threw away, so...]

"Picking up leaks is also a kind of luck."

Jiang Tang interrupted the system calmly: "There's nothing more to say."

How come there is nothing to say?

It’s time to get the “map” back!

However, the system's suggestion was rejected by Jiang Tang: "Rob? Why rob?"

[If you don’t rob, what if she uses it to force the male protagonist...]

Jiang Tang's smile became even more beautiful after hearing this: "Wouldn't that be better? If she can succeed."

She also wanted to see Xiao Yinhan being "forced".

The system quickly reacted to the host's intention and chose to shut up.

"Why don't you continue talking?"

System: What are you talking about? How do you get rid of the male protagonist? If you don’t tell me, don’t tell me!

"Don't worry, if we are not in a hurry, she will be the one who is anxious."

In the end, Jiang Tang only said one sentence with unclear meaning, and the matter was settled.

The system wanted to ask Fangbi what she was worried about, but after seeing her host's reaction, she silently closed her mouth.

-

"Why, can't I get out of this door?"

"No, I don't dare. Madam, please."

Jiang Tang's words made the guard guarding the door almost have his heart beat out of his chest, and he hurriedly stood aside and did not dare to block her way.

It wasn't until she walked out of the yard that the guard immediately gave the order: "Quick, send someone to say that Madam is out!"

As he finished speaking, the boy beside him ran away in a hurry.

The madam would only come out occasionally when the prince was in the palace, and most of the rest of the time she would rest in the house.

Going out suddenly like this today made the guards feel like they were facing a formidable enemy and they didn't dare to delay at all.

In fact, the guards' concerns were not wrong.

After Jiang Tang went out, he went directly to Nanxing's yard.

"Bang bang bang,"

There was a knock on the door, and the young man sitting in a daze in the room with the doors and windows closed frowned tightly.

He didn't want to pay attention to it, but the knocking on the door that kept ringing had a "if you don't open it, I'll keep knocking" attitude.

A flash of anger flashed in his beautiful eyes. He stood up suddenly and opened the door with a "swipe". The murderous intent in his eyes was so clear that anyone who saw it would be shocked.

Then...he himself was frightened first.

"why you……"

The moment he saw a familiar and beautiful face appear outside his room door, Nan Xing's mind went blank for a moment, as if he had fallen into a fantasy and never woke up.

"I was worried about your injury, so I came here to take a look." Jiang Tang smiled slightly, as warm and beautiful as ever: "Is your injury okay?"

Nan Xing's heart seemed to be stung by something, giving him an indescribable and uncomfortable feeling.

"I am fine, and you?

"The injuries have also been bandaged."

He spoke with some difficulty, but actually he didn't know what he said.

He obviously wanted to see her, but he just glanced at her and lowered his eyes, as if he didn't want to see her.

The guard hiding in the dark saw this scene with shrewd eyes.

"That's it, then I'll feel relieved."

A gentle chuckle from a woman seemed to reach his ears, and he wanted to look up.

But it can't be...

Nan Xing lowered his head and put his hand on the door frame with extreme force. As soon as he let go, he could see that the innocent door panel was twisted out of shape by him...

Jiang Tang seemed oblivious to the young man's inner struggle, and his voice was as sweet and gentle as ever: "I came here to ask you, if we want to go in, do you want to come with us?"

Hearing this, the boy who had been hanging his head finally raised his head, his eyes seemed to be burning with burning flames, and his voice was trembling: "Can I come together?" With you...

"Of course, as long as you want."

"Then I'll go!"
