Although she explained it this way, Jiang Mingxuan still didn't quite believe it.
After all, no one would give away his bodyguard to others.
But doubts are doubts, and I have to say that Gu Yuan is indeed helping them a lot at the moment.
When he is able in the future, he will definitely return these favors to him.
After finally sending his brother away, Jiang Shanshan breathed a sigh of relief and threw himself on the bed.
I frowned as soon as I made contact with him. I didn't sleep well in this inn.
It was hard and the mattress was not soft either.
After all, it is just a town and cannot be compared with the city.
The next day, Jiang Shanshan and his party slowly boarded the car to prepare for the return journey.
What was originally a one-day trip ended up taking three or two days, but there were benefits.
Everywhere they stayed along the way was well taken care of, and the food and accommodation were many times more refined and comfortable than before.
It seems that the person given by Gu Yuan is indeed quite useful!
"Chen Qi, we have returned home, where will you go?"
"Miss Jiang, Master ordered me to protect you. I will stay in that teahouse from now on. Just look for me wherever you are told."
Jiang Shanshan nodded. They had become familiar with each other in the past two days, and their words were not as rigid and polite as before.
"Then can you take a detour to Xicheng? I want to see a wife."
"Yes, girl."
After entering the imperial city, Chen Qi walked towards the road directed by Jiang Shanshan. About half an hour later, he stopped in front of a bookstore.
The shopkeeper no longer looked lazy this time. When he saw the siblings getting out of the car, he stopped talking.
"Is the Master still inside?"
Jiang Mingxuan asked, seeing his wife with a real smile on his face.
The shopkeeper nodded, glanced at the people behind them, and then said: "The master was injured a few days ago. To make a long story short, please don't disturb his rest."
After hearing the words, the two of them had no time to ask more questions, especially Jiang Mingxuan, who hurried inside. Jiang Shanshan had no choice but to tell the others to wait outside, and he followed in.
She originally thought it was just a minor injury or something. After all, as people get older, they always have a few problems.
But when I saw the gauze wrapped around the old master's face, I felt suffocated.
Then he fell silent as if he understood something.
"How could Master hurt his face?" Jiang Mingxuan frowned, his face full of concern.
The old master looked calm, but the injury on his face was actually quite painful.
"It's not a big deal. I accidentally fell into a brazier a few days ago and got burned. It will heal in a few days."
"Falled into the brazier?" Jiang Mingxuan obviously didn't believe it. He actually suspected something else.
He is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart. He was anxious just now, but now he is calm and can understand after a little thought.
The old master was his mother's wife. The Lin family was originally involved in the rebellion. As her husband, he must have also suffered some difficulties.
What's more, those people are still looking for something.
It's normal that he doesn't want others to recognize him.
It's just because their siblings had to show up now that they have this injury.
Thinking of this, he felt mixed emotions, which made him even more depressed.
"Master, it doesn't have to be like this. Even if you don't show up, we can escape from the Jiang family ourselves. It's just more trouble."
But they still have time not to.
Jiang Shanshan said.
But the old master didn't care, "After hiding for so many years, I want to take a look outside. It's just right."
The two siblings were silent, having said this, it would be pretentious to continue.
They understood why the old master was doing this and felt grateful in their hearts.
After coming out of the bookstore, the shopkeeper waved his hand listlessly to send them off.
Jiang Shanshan opened the car curtain and said to Chen Qi who was driving the car: "Maybe you can buy some supplements for me and send them over later?"
"Yes, Miss Jiang, just ask."
Jiang Shanshan nodded, and then stretched out his hand towards Taohong, who was leaning in the carriage and pretending to be asleep.
There was no movement for a long time, so she had no choice but to twist her arm.
"Bring it!"
Taohong pouted, she was thinking about something!
Slowly opening the baggage that she never left her hand, she took out a piece of handwriting. Although her body hurt, there was nothing she could do.
Jiang Shanshan was quite satisfied and pushed it in front of Chen Qi.
When they arrived at Jiang's house, they walked out of the side door in a dignified manner, and the news quickly spread to other people's ears.
After returning to the courtyard and changing clothes, a maid came to invite the siblings over.
"I wonder which compound this sister is from?"
"This slave is the second-class maid Xiuzhu who was just brought up from the eldest lady's courtyard."
"Oh? It's not like we met each other. Do we have children at home?"
"My servant, I, belong to Madam Zhuangzi. Because there is not enough manpower in the courtyard, she transferred me here."
Jiang Shanshan gave her a strange look. Her appearance was ordinary, fair at best.
The eldest lady’s people actually knew everything about her?
She couldn't figure out why, so she had to shake her head and put it down.
As long as it wasn't some unscrupulous slave who deliberately caused trouble for their siblings, she would be merciful and spare such a person's life in the future.
Arriving at the main room, Jiang Shanshan went in and bowed slightly to the eldest lady, "Madam, are you looking for me?"
However, after not seeing him for a while, Han's eyes had a few fine lines, and his face was no longer as dignified and beautiful as before.
On the contrary, I felt a little more tired.
She looked at Jiang Shanshan, who was still intact, and darkened her eyes, "I won't mince words with you, just tell the truth!"
Jiang Shanshan raised his eyebrows.
"The old lady sent someone to follow you after you left the city. I think you also know why."
"What the lady means is..."
"Now that you are back safely, you must have become a thorn in her side. Just because you didn't do it before, doesn't mean you won't do it in the future."
Han looked at Jiang Shanshan and said, "In the Jiang family, I am the only one who can help you and protect you!"
"So, what does Madam want?"
Han's expression flashed slightly, what she wanted was of course that thing.
But there is no rush, you have to take your time.
"You are very smart, and so is your brother. I can help your brother take the scientific examination and become an official, but you..."
She leaned back and went through the plan several times in her mind before finally deciding.
It's just temporary. Even though this girl is a bit pretty, she's not bad at all.
At most, we can deal with it when the time comes. It's just an inconspicuous girl. If it's gone, it's gone.
"A-Yuan will marry into the Sixth Prince's Palace in May. There will also be two other concubines who will join the palace. At that time, you will follow A-Yuan in." Mrs. Han looked at her and said.
Her intention was very clear. She wanted her to be a concubine for the Sixth Prince. No, she might even be a bed slave who was not even considered a concubine.
And her role was just to win over the Sixth Prince for Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Shanshan understood this and laughed angrily.
If you can't catch her secretly, you might as well come in the open.
Did she expect Jiang Mingxuan to be her weakness?
"Ma'am, you take it too much for granted."
"What did you say?"
Han raised his eyes and his expression became cold.
"I say Madam, you are too confident." Jiang Shanshan said expressionlessly, "You don't need to interfere with my brother's affairs, and of course, you don't need to interfere with mine!"
