Jiang Shang nodded, looked at Manmei, took her hand, put it in his palm, and said as if to promise, "Wu Yong will not appear in front of you again."
Knowing this was enough for Manmei. She smiled and said, "This is really good news."
Shan Boyuan's eyes swept over their intertwined hands, "It's really lucky that Miss Man escaped from the accident this time."
Jiang Shang nodded politely, "I was careless. I didn't expect my cousin to have such thoughts."
To put it this way, even if Man Miao was picked out, it was all Chu Yue'er's doing. She wanted to design Man Miao, but Wu Yong ended up plotting against her.
Manmiao smiled and glanced at Jiang Shang, then brought the plate with snacks to Jiang Shang, "The dinner is coming soon. You have something to eat first, and we will drink wine later."
"I won't drink today, and everyone will understand and won't come to persuade me to drink." Jiang Shang shook his head, indicating that he didn't know how to drink, but he still took a piece of snack and ate it.
"Yes, I forgot that tomorrow is the martial arts conference." Since it is a martial arts conference, there will be no shortage of martial arts competitions. No one can expect a drunk person to win the martial arts conference, right? He is not a descendant of Drunken Master.
Judging from Jiang Shang's daily performance, he is a very self-controlled person. The more critical the moment, the more cautious he is.
After saying this, Manmiao glanced at Shan Boyuan. Shan Boyuan probably wanted to look at Manmiao with a smile on his face, but a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. Manmiao wanted to leave tomorrow, but she was afraid that she would really
It depends on luck. Once Jiang Shang becomes the leader of the martial arts alliance of the Yue Kingdom, it will not be so easy for Manmei to leave.
Manmei had the same idea, but now that Jiang Shang and Yu Han were both here, she couldn't keep flirting with Shan Bo. It would be too conspicuous and easy to be discovered.
There was nothing much to talk about at the dinner. The male and female guests ate separately. Those women, Manmei, didn’t know any of them, and she didn’t bother to chat with them. She was tired of these things when she was in Washington. She reasoned that something was wrong
, I said goodbye to the host before the banquet started.
This time there was no Shan Boyuan with her, so she had to take the Jiang family's carriage back.
Qin Qifeng's guards still followed her, and when they arrived at the Jiang family's other courtyard, those guards came in together with the Jiang family's guards. The guards of each family were dressed differently, and you could tell who belonged to whose family at a glance.
It was already troublesome enough to get rid of the Jiang family's guards, but now there were also Qin Qifeng's guards, and she was so angry that she just wanted to curse.
You, Qin Qifeng, are the prince of the Qin Kingdom, and this is the Yue Kingdom. Your damn hand is stretched too far, right?
He slammed the door angrily and sat on the bed to think of a solution.
It's not dark yet, so Deng Yanshuo probably can't come. There are many guards now, and she doesn't dare to call the little squirrel over. Thinking that Deng Yanshuo can hear Chu Yuer'er and the maid's private conversation, he can also hear her words, so she
I walked around the room a few times and kept saying: Don't come here, there are a lot of guards here, I'm fine, I'm fine, and the little squirrels don't come here either.
She kept repeating it every once in a while, always feeling uneasy and worried about Deng Yanshuo.
After walking around the house a few times, I felt a little tired and sat for a while.
His eyes fell on the sachet on her waist.
Since being kidnapped by Li Erniang, she has brought banknotes and more important things with her.
She opened her sachet and rearranged the contents: banknotes, Liuyun Jade, and a blue jade pendant given by Lan Ting.
She took the jade pendant in her hand and looked at it carefully for the first time.
Blue jade is rare, at least Manmei has never seen a real one. When she was in college, she had a roommate whose family was in the jade business, and it was said that he had blue Hetian jade. But that person never took out the real one, just
I've heard that it's ridiculously expensive and their family can't afford jade of this color.
This piece of jade was lake blue, and the material she bought had the feel of jade, but she didn't know the quality and couldn't tell the authenticity from the fake. She just thought it was very beautiful and polished to a shiny finish.
The jade pendant is as big as a child’s fist and is engraved with the pattern of Flowing Clouds and Baifu. Their roommate gave them some popular science: Flowing Clouds and Baifu is a relatively common jade pattern. It is composed of cloud patterns and bats, and the cloud pattern has a wishful shape.
"Continuous" means long-lasting happiness; "bat" means "blessing", symbolizing happiness, happiness or endless happiness.
Children usually wear this kind of pattern a lot, in the hope that the children can grow up happily and healthily. Adults deliberately wear less of it, maybe because they have been wearing it since they were young. Thinking about it this way, this jade pendant is not cheap.
Lan Ting is really unreliable. This kind of thing that he brought up since childhood must have been given by a very close elder, but he gave it to her so easily just to get angry with Jiang Shang. He is really a prodigal.
Even so, Manmei still had to put the jade pendant in the sachet and carry it with her.
She didn't plan to take the things Jiang Shang gave her. These things were very expensive. Although she was greedy for money, she knew that she couldn't take these things as they were a favor she couldn't afford to repay.
Jiang Shang and Chu Xiner can be regarded as a pair of hard-luck mandarin ducks. Since neither of them has done anything to harm Manmei, Manmei just plans to leave quietly. There is no need to make a fuss with Jiang Shang like Hua Feng. After all, Jiang Shang also
She has done many things for her gracefully, and one must be grateful. She has nothing to repay Jiang Shang, but she can at least avoid causing trouble to Jiang Shang.
Manmiao also thought about spending the rest of her life with Jiang Shang. Although this idea did not exist for a long time, it did exist before. Many of the times she spent with Jiang Shang are worth remembering.
She didn't want to get into trouble with Jiang Shang to the point of becoming enemies.
As night fell, the lanterns that were half a person tall began to light up one after another in the courtyard.
The Qishifeng lantern is made of a white lantern with a candle as thick as an arm inside. The orange light shines through, and the big "jiang" character on the lantern is very obvious and can be seen from a long distance.
Manmei opened the window and watched the rough servants take down the lanterns, light the candles and then hang them up. These people were probably very familiar with the job. They moved very quickly. They took off the lanterns, lit them and then hung them up again without a single move
Minutes later, the other courtyard was filled with candlelight.
At a glance, she saw that Qin Qifeng's guards were scattered around her room. There were not as many of them as those who came back with her. There were probably people who had been arranged to be on duty and stood guard in batches.
There is no need to look behind the house. Since these people are standing at the front door, there must be someone guarding the back door.
Now it's better, the bad guys can't get in, but she can't get out either.
Qin Qifeng, this bastard who harms others but does not benefit himself! He gave birth to a son without a butthole!
I was cursing in my heart when I suddenly heard someone knocking on the door. I quickly grabbed the sachet at hand, quickly hung it on my waist, and said, "Who is it?"
"Miss, my cousin said she wants to see you." The maid replied respectfully outside the door.
