The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort - 106. Exploring Jiang's Mansion at Night

As soon as Xiao Shaofang returned to the Dongfeng Building, the maid downstairs told her that someone was waiting in the elegant room. After staying in the secret room on the second floor, as soon as I entered the door, I saw Ye Feng staring at the person in front of him nervously.

Seeing Xiao Shao coming, Ye Feng hurriedly stood up and bowed his head and said, “Master.”

Xiao Shao waved his hand, and Ye Feng bowed and walked out. Jiang Ruan looked up, Xiao Shao sat down opposite, looked at her and said, “What’s wrong?”

“Is there a medicine that restores the face. Or is there a way to make people more… charming. Like a fairy.” Jiang Ruan is straight to the point. There are so many strange things about Jiang Susu, and it is already suspicious if only from his appearance. The face that was scratched by the thorn bushes now has no scars at all, and Jiang Ruan can see clearly that day that Jiang Susu’s face has not been wiped with powder. If there is a panacea, it is almost the same. The deliberate attraction between Jiang Susu’s gestures is even more strange. Since Xiao Shao knows medicine and is well-informed, he might be clear about it if he wants to.

Xiao Shao looked at Jiang Ruan with a little puzzlement, and after concentrating for a while, he nodded and said, “Yes.”

Jiang Ruan was startled: “What is it?”

“A kind of secret technique,” Xiao Shao said: “Southern women are good at using charming techniques. What you said is probably that they have practiced this kind of secret technique.”

Jiang Ruan’s heart sank: “Southern Xinjiang?”

Seeing her doing this, Xiao Shao thoughtfully said, “Is there such a person by your side?”

“I want to ask Lord Xiao, what do people who have practiced this secret technique need to do? What is the price? For example, blood?” Jiang Ruan asked.

“It’s not necessarily. There are many kinds of secret techniques in southern Xinjiang. They are charming techniques. Different people use them and pay different prices. Generally speaking, secret techniques are actually a kind of medicine. The better you are, the greater the price you will pay. People who have practiced this kind of charm will behave differently from ordinary people. Some people need to add some blood or other things. But it’s not certain.” Xiao Shao is patient. Answer her questions.

Jiang Ruan’s brows gradually frowned. If there were only three points of doubt before, now this doubt has become seven points. Jiang Susu behaved abnormally, and his face was so smooth and white, it really resembled the secret technique in Xiao Shao’s mouth. But she just went to the family temple to recuperate, so why did she have something to do with Miao Jiang? The more I think about it, the more confused it becomes.

Xiao Shao saw Jiang Ruan’s frowning appearance, naturally thinking a little bit in his heart. The people of Southern Xinjiang seemed to be brewing a huge conspiracy, and Jiang Ruan never asked meaningless things. Just now she asked like that, there must be someone who looks like a cultivating charm technique. If it is true, you can start from here.

Thinking of this, Xiao Shao said, “The person you mentioned, I want to meet you.”

Jiang Ruan was thinking about how to get Xiao Shao into Jiang’s mansion to meet Jiang Susu, so as to personally confirm whether it was related to the Southern Xinjiang secret technique. He suddenly heard Xiao Shao’s words, but was slightly surprised, this person went with her thoughts. She didn’t know that Xiao Shao still had to deal with Nanjiang’s affairs. She only thought about the tightness of the body, and a slight emotion floated in her heart. She couldn’t be said to be grateful, but she felt that Xiao Shao was not as ruthlessly rumored. .

She smiled and said: “Naturally good, but that person is not elsewhere, it is in Jiang’s mansion.”

Xiao Shao raised her eyes and looked at her, her beautiful eyes were as deep as Tianhe, and said, “Jiang Susu?”

“How did you know?” Jiang Ruan was surprised.

“The lady in Jiang Fuzhong only heard that Ms. Jiang Er is so beautiful, she is herself.” Xiao Shao said.

Jiang Ruan was stunned, raised his lips and smiled: “Wang Ye also thinks the second sister is as beautiful as a fairy?”

Xiao Shao didn’t seem to expect Jiang Ruan to ask this suddenly, frowned, glanced at Jiang Ruan seriously, and said, “Not as good as you.”

Xiao Shao’s reply was indeed beyond people’s expectation. Regardless of how Jiang Ruan’s heart was, he was still a little dazed when he heard the words of the always cold person. For a while, he didn’t know what to reply. When I looked up, I saw Xiao Shao looking at her interestingly, and a joking smile flashed past her eyes.

I actually laughed. Is this… a joke?

Jiang Ruan was dazed for a moment before he smiled: “It turns out that Prince Xiao can laugh too.”

Xiao Shao raised her eyebrows: “When will you go to your house?”

Jiang Ruan felt that this conversation seemed a bit weird, and he pondered for a moment, and said, “Why not just tonight?”

Ye Feng, who was eavesdropping at the door outside the room, almost knelt down, and the beautiful maid beside him couldn’t help but wink at him. I couldn’t see the appearance of the master who was pure-hearted and low-hearted, and he went to the girl’s house when he came up. The future young lady is also a heroine, and she is not embarrassed. It will be tonight. Be married tonight?

Xiao Shao said, “Okay, at midnight, I will come to you.”

Jiang Ruan looked at him and said, “How do you get in?”

Although Xiao Shao said that his martial arts was strong, Jiang’s mansion was not like a family, and he was still a young man who was wandering in his home in the middle of the night, and he felt that something was wrong. However, both of them are very human. Although Jiang Ruan feels a little strange, he will not be as pedantic as his last life. Besides, she was anxious to find out about Jiang Susu.

“Don’t worry, when the hour comes, I will naturally come to you.” Xiao Shao said.

Jiang Ruan thought for a while, then nodded: “Then thank you, Lord Xiao.”

Forsythia and Bai Zhi stood aside, both silently, but they exchanged glances with each other. My girl trusted Wang Ye Xiao more and more. What kind of temperament Jiang Ruan is, they know best as a close-knit maid. Ever since they woke up after falling into the water on Zhuangzi, they have become extremely vigilant and have never easily trusted the people around them. Even his grandfather Zhao Guang’s family has reservations. Although Prince Xiao had a cool temper, he helped Jiang Ruan a lot when he came down several times. If they can be married, the two maids think about it, it would be much better than marrying someone else.

Jiang Ruan didn’t know that the two close servants had sold her unknowingly. He bowed his head and drank tea to himself, because he thought that he could figure out Jiang Susu’s secret, and the gloomy mood over the past few days was a lot more pleasant.

“The Fu powder who is not on the table like this is actually brought in front of me. Is this lady so foolish? Get out!” A small round box was thrown out with a “slap”, and the fine powder was ground inside. Sprinkled on the ground, there were small traces in the air. Jiang Li was extremely corrupt and brushed the things on the table to the ground: “A bunch of rubbish!”

The maid Xiliu next to her comforted: “The girl shouldn’t be angry. The people from Zuo Langzhong’s mansion will arrive in a few days. The girl was beautiful and she was happy to go.”

Not to mention it’s okay, when I said Jiang Li, I felt angry: “I don’t understand, I am not good enough, and the Zuo family is still so unhappy. It is actually the ill and sick dead seedling.”

Xiliu persuaded: “Zuo Langzhong is a good man and he keeps his promises. I think it’s just a fancy promise to the four girls. When the girl gets married, he will naturally be nice to the girl.”

“It’s really wrong to use fish eyes as pearls!” Jiang Li said angrily.

Three years ago, Zuo Langzhong saved Jiang Dan’s life at a palace banquet, and when he turned around, he sent a matchmaker to propose marriage to Jiang Dan. The second aunt had spoken to Jiang Quan for a long time, and the candidate to marry the Zuo family changed from Jiang Dan to Jiang Li. Who knows that Zuo Langzhong is actually a solid eye, and he was furious after knowing this. At that time, Geng Tie had already exchanged, and the birth date had also been closed. It is not easy to regret it. Unexpectedly, Zuo Langzhong made another request, and Jiang Li was irritated every time he thought of this. Zuo Langzhong even indicated to Jiang Quan that he was willing to marry Jiang Dan as his wife.

The sisters worked together, and it was a good story to spread it out, but Jiang Li was a small measure, and naturally he refused to accept the ending willingly. Jiang Quan was not willing to put both daughters in Zuo Langzhong’s residence. The most surprising thing is Jiang Dan’s. Jiang Quan and Jiang Li have not yet commanded her attitude, but Jiang Dan actively refused this kind of marriage. Suddenly, there was a stir in Beijing, saying that the fourth young lady from Jiang’s Fushu didn’t know good or bad, and she even looked down on the position of the flat wife in Zuo Langzhong’s residence. In fact, as Jiang Dan, being able to climb the Zuo Langzhong’s mansion is already flying into the branch to become a phoenix, let alone being a flat wife.

After Jiang Dan refused, things were much easier. Jiang Susu had already passed the ceremony the day before returning to the house, and then as long as Jiang Li and the ceremony passed, he could begin to arrange the marriage with Zuo Langzhong. Zuo Langzhong would also come to observe the ceremony in person.

It’s not for other reasons. It’s just that the rouge gouache sent to her yard these few days has been rejected by Jiang Li. Although the second aunt is just an aunt, she also has some spare money on her hands. Besides, she only has one daughter, which is natural on weekdays. Is willing. These rouge gouaches are all good products from the top store in the capital, and they have been used well before, but Jiang Li doesn’t like it at this time.

In fact, it was not for other reasons. In the past three years, Jiang Li and Jiang Dan were the only ones in Jiang’s residence. Jiang Dan has become more autistic and restrained since he changed relatives, and he has almost never left the yard. In Jiang’s Mansion, most of the social gatherings with Jingzhong’s daughter’s family are Jiang Li’s presence. In the past few years, Jiang Li seems to regard herself as the daughter of Jiang’s mansion. Unexpectedly, Jiang Susu and Jiang Ruan came back suddenly. Needless to say Jiang Ruan, he turned into the princess, and was guarded by the Zhao family. Jiang Susu thought he couldn’t raise his head naturally when he went to the family temple, but now it is more beautiful than one day.

With Jiang Ruan and Jiang Susu Zhuyu in front, Jiang Li’s proud appearance has become a joke, and it is natural that nothing is right to see. She clenched her fists: “What about Ji Li? With those two in front, everyone is going to see them, who is looking at me?”

“Girl, don’t say that.” Xiliu whispered: “The eldest lady is now the princess, but she is like a tiger, and the palace is too wrong. Who knows what will happen in the future. The second lady does not need to say, that is After three years, everyone still heard about what happened at the beginning, and it is still difficult to talk about kissing in the future. The girl now looks at the most comfortable time in the house, and once the ceremony is over, Zuo Langzhong will marry you. This Even the master can’t control the marriage. Wouldn’t it be great for you to get married before the eldest and the second youngest?”

After listening to the maid’s words, Jiang Li slowly calmed down: “You are right. I have nothing to worry about. At least, the husband I marry is better than them!”

Xiliu comforted him for a while, and Jiang Li finally eased his emotions, and no longer lost his temper and threw rouge.

The night sky is like this, the spring night is surprisingly dark, and the stars are more and more shining, almost falling from the top of people’s heads.

It was late at night, and the courtyard was quiet, the entire capital of the Dajin Dynasty fell asleep, Jiang’s mansion was surprisingly quiet, and needles on the ground could be heard.

Ruan Juli still lit a small lamp quietly. The light was so faint in the night that it could hardly reflect the flower window in front of the desk. Forsythia distressedly handed over a small cup of honey water: “Why don’t the girl take a break, the servant will guard you, if Prince Xiao arrives, the servant will wake you up again. When is this, the girl will be careful.” ”

Forsythia secretly cursed in her heart, it’s a bad time for Prince Xiao to choose, but when he chose to go to bed in the night, Jiang Ruan always went to bed early, this time he was drowsy, and he was still guarding this lamp and waiting for the man’s arrival. . Forsythia looked at the hourglass: “Hey, it’s almost time.”

蒋阮本一手撑着下巴，一手百无聊赖的看着面前的灯盏，听见连翘的话倒是有几分精神。萧韶堂堂一介王爷，倒不知眼下是何模样进了蒋府，难不成是翻墙？亦或是钻狗洞？一想到那张俊美无俦的脸在狗洞里灰头土脸，蒋阮忍不住“噗嗤”一笑。

“你很高兴？”清冷微哑的嗓音自耳边响起，同时传来的还有男子身上淡淡的青竹香气。蒋阮微微一惊，连翘已经“哎呀”一声叫了起来。

蒋阮心中虽然也被惊了一惊，却向来能装，面上竟是一点惊慌的神情也看不出来，只是上上下下的将萧韶打量了一番，眨了眨眼，有些失望道：“竟不是。”

“不是什么？”萧韶看了一眼连翘，连翘忙低着头退了出去。

蒋阮瞧着对面人，一身漆黑天香绢劲装，腰间一根金色蛮师纹犀带，勾勒出利落的身形，倒是比平日里瞧着更像个少年了。灯火之下，越发衬得萧韶五官柔和妍丽，一双漆黑的眸子竟比天上的漫天星子还要璀璨耀眼，含着一抹似有似无的笑意，薄唇紧抿，喉结微动。

自来灯下看美人，这青年灯下看，竟比百日里更加美貌。蒋阮心中道了一声妖孽便转开目光。还以为他会做什么采花贼打扮，至少夜探女子闺房，总会显得有些拘谨而畏缩。这萧韶却不似常人，大方坦荡的令人吃惊。况且自开头到现在，优雅不减一分，哪里像是来探秘的，分明就是来做客的。

萧韶看了看外面：“差不错了，走吧。”

蒋阮诧异的看着他：“就这么跟着你走过去？”

“不必。”萧韶说完便伸手拎起蒋阮的后衣领，不等蒋阮出声便跃出窗户。蒋阮惊了一惊，下意识的双手搂住萧韶的腰，耳边是呼呼的风声，心中竟是十足紧张。这种紧张不同于平日里算计人，步步为营时的紧张。是一种单纯的，因为未知而感受到的紧张。仿佛赵眉还在时，蒋信之带她偷溜出府去看庙会，钻狗洞出去时怕被人发觉时而感到的紧张。

那紧张之中又带了一点兴奋，仿佛回到了那个什么都不用担忧的时候。那一种久违的刺激感，竟让她忘记了被“带”到空中的恐惧，而有些茫然起来。

Xiao Shao saw Jiang Ruan quietly and surprisingly, and couldn’t help but look down at her, and saw that the charming little face was at a loss and a little cautious yearning. It was very different from the usual quiet and Anran, as if this was what a girl of this age should have. It was rare to see Jiang Ruan like that, Xiao Shao was slightly taken aback. His gaze fell on Jiang Ruan’s arms tightly around his waist, and his slender and soft fingers tightly grasped his dark clothes, making them even more white as jade. For some reason, I just felt that the waist wrapped by the hands was a little unconsciously hot.

In a blink of an eye, Xiao Shao led Jiang Ruan into a courtyard. Jiang Ruanfang stood still and let go. At first glance, he was stunned. It was Su Xin Yuan. She glanced at Xiao Shao suspiciously: “How do you know this place, is it possible that you have been here?” Xiao Shao entered and left Jiang’s mansion like no one, and found Jiang Susu’s courtyard so easily that people had to be suspicious.

Xiao Shao: “…”

Although he was indeed not the first time to come to Su Xinyuan, the last time Jiang Ruan castrated Li Yang, he watched the scene from the beginning to the end on the tree, and finally came to help Jiang Ruan. However, it is still not a good idea at the moment.

“Jinyi checked it and drew a map for me.” He explained.

Jiang Ruan nodded: “So that’s it.” But his expression was not convinced, Xiao Shao felt even more helpless.

The two walked to the corner of the courtyard, at the back of Jiang Susu’s room, where there was a small vacant room. The two of them walked around the back of the vacant house and suddenly heard a strange sound.

The sound was a bit abrupt in the night sky, but it was still possible to hear what was the same, like something struggling, and something fluttering on the ground, sweeping out a big noise.

Xiao Shao frowned, picked up a small stone from the ground and shot it towards the window. The window was silently popped out of a small hole. Xiao Shao stepped forward and looked at it, slowly becoming serious. Seeing him like this, Jiang Ruan patted his arm, Xiao Shao withdrew, Jiang Ruan put his eyes in the small hole and looked in. Then I saw a picture that made people breathless.

There was a faint light in the room, and even the faint light was enough to see clearly. A person was grabbing something in his hand and gnawing at it. When he turned his head, Fang could see clearly that what he was holding was a messy-haired hen whose neck was about to fall off, and he was dying with blood on his feathers. The man’s complexion was fair and almost magical, his eyes were floating, he was dressed in white, and his appearance was pure and beautiful like a fairy.

It is Jiang Susu.
