Jade Born of Mist: A Tale of Ancient Survival

A young lady from a modern wealthy family transmigrated to an ancient era where men outnumbered women. Jiang Yuyan initially just wanted to live a stable life in this era, but she found herself cla...

Chapter 108 Thank you for investigating her

Chapter 108 Thank you for investigating her

It was late at night, the moon was silent, and Jiang Yuyan stayed at the Princess's Mansion tonight.

At this moment, two dark shadows sneaked into the inner courtyard. Their bodies were agile and flexible, like black ghosts in the night sky.

A tall man looked at another shorter man, and they both crouched down on the green tiles on the roof and carefully lifted up one of them.

The warm yellow light in the room leaked out, and I saw a beautiful woman sitting under the light playing chess with a man. She was smiling, as if in a dream.

Although they had already investigated this famous Princess Lan Meng, the two men in black were still shocked.

Just as my head was feeling dazed and hot for a moment, I suddenly heard the voice of a young boy talking in my ears.

A boy of about thirteen or fourteen squatted beside them and asked in confusion, "What are you looking at?"

The two men in black were so frightened that their souls flew away. Just as they were about to escape, the next second, someone grabbed their crotch and threw them down.

"Master, two mice came." Xiaowu asked for credit outside the door.

The Youyun Guards had already spotted these two rats and just wanted to see what they were going to do.

Jiang Yuyan frowned and said to the person opposite: "It's winter now, wait a while before it rains..."

Jiang Mingan held her back, turned around, got her an outer robe and put it on, and they walked towards the outer room together.

The lights in the main courtyard suddenly came on and the door opened.

Jiang Yuyan sat on the armchair at the main seat in the hall, looking at the two visitors with a half-smile.

It was the first time that Jiang Mingan saw his wife like this. He found it interesting and sat down with his arms crossed.

"Tell me, who sent you here?" Jiang Yuyan opened her red lips.

The two masked men had their veils pulled off and their faces turned red, both because this beautiful woman was talking to them and because they were caught so easily.

Their martial arts skills are also ranked among the best in the martial arts world, but who knew that the military force of this Princess Mansion is so strong.

In fact, Jiang Yuyan knew without asking that the only people in the capital who had grievances against her were Xie Yi and his people. He might not dare to use his own guards, and it was unknown whether he would pay someone to find out the news.

The tall man on the left blushed and said, "We just accepted money and came to the Princess's Mansion to investigate."

"Who is it?"

"A guard contacted us, but we don't know his master."

"What do you want to find out?" Jiang Yuyan asked.

To say more would involve the customer's privacy, which was not allowed by their business rules. So he kept his mouth shut.

Seeing that they didn't answer, Jiang Yuyan supported her chin with one hand and smiled casually, "I know even if you don't tell me. It's probably to find out who I'm in contact with, what we talk about, and whether there are any letters in the study...right?"

The two men in black looked at each other and realized that it was almost certain. They looked at each other in surprise. If they had known that the Princess Mansion was like this, they would never have accepted the order. Telling it to others would only make them lose face in the martial arts world.

As the two were hesitating, a clear male voice suddenly came from outside the door, saying, "You are the two brothers from Yinshan, right?"

I saw a handsome man walking slowly into the house under the moonlight, his aura like a jade embracing pure light.

It turned out that Chen Yi heard the noise and climbed over the wall.

Jiang Mingan raised his head. It was the first time he saw this Silangjun. He was shocked by his appearance and couldn't help but look at him frequently.

The two men in black were shocked. "Who are you? How did you know?"

Chen Yi curled his lips and smiled, "You don't need to know who I am. I heard that you are quite trustworthy in doing business, but I don't know which one is more important than your life?"

After saying this, he tapped the big blood vessel beside their necks to their surprise. The two opened their lips and teeth slightly, and one of them was fed a red pill.

After the speech restriction was lifted, the short man was furious, "If you want to kill me, just kill me. Why bother with the poison?"

“This can’t be considered poison. It will only make you gradually lose your mind, and in half a month you’ll be like a child, but it won’t be painful.” Shen Yi said calmly, his figure as smooth as pine or cypress.

"You!" The tall man's eyes were as big as copper bells. To those who practice martial arts, it would be better to kill him if he was just a child! Besides, the Yinshan Twins were also well-known figures in the martial arts world. If they really became like that... it would be a disgrace to their grandmother's house.

Hit the snake at its most vulnerable part. The short man was so angry that his chest rose and fell violently, "A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated. What do you want?"

Jiang Yuyan thought for a moment and realized that it would not be difficult to deal with these two people. She was just afraid that they would not give up. It would be better to use Infernal Affairs... She and Shen Yi looked at each other, and then said to the subordinates: "I want you to work for me, so just do what I say and report back to your customers..."

“This…” The two heroes of Yinshan looked embarrassed and their faces turned red.

"You have no choice." Shen Yi said coldly: "Listen to my wife obediently, I will give you one antidote every month, which can delay the onset of this drug."

The two men were helpless and said dejectedly, "Yes! I will listen to your orders, brother!"

Jiang Yuyan smiled slightly, satisfied. If someone paid to keep a spy for her, why not?

Within two days, Nie Wuyou also came.

"The Fourth Prince became suspicious of your identity and asked the elders of our Tianji Pavilion to go to Lingshu Valley to investigate. Fortunately, I explained it in the Pavilion, and the elder informed me in time, which prevented your identity as the Saint from being exposed..."

Nie Wuyou smiled and said, "Tell me, how do you thank me?"

Jiang Yuyan is now quite thick-skinned, "Alas, I don't worry about having too much debt..."

"...You..." Nie Wuyou was a little speechless.

"Hahaha..." Jiang Yuyan couldn't help but chuckle and revealed an extremely bright smile.

Nie Wuyou felt hot on his forehead when he saw her charming appearance...

She is now more lively and cheerful than when she was in the West Territory, and her beauty is natural. She seems to be more to his taste...

"What should I do? I regret it..." Nie Wuyou thought dejectedly, blurting out the words without paying attention.

"Huh? What are you regretting?" Jiang Yuyan was a little confused.

I regret not having a good start when we first met, and I regret not seizing the opportunity.

Nie Wuyou silently wiped away a handful of sad tears and answered the question irrelevantly: "Do you know? My father and mother are very loving, but my mother has never cooked for my father. The seven-day meal you cooked for me, I always remember it..."

Jiang Yuyan blushed and thought, "You forced me to do this..."

Nie Wuyou smiled, "I know what you are thinking...", and tapped her head again, saying, "Don't you want to thank me? Why don't you cook me another meal?"

Jiang Yuyan agreed.

When she walked into the kitchen, she shocked all the servants. The cooks of the Princess's Mansion had never had the opportunity to enter the inner courtyard, and all the dishes were served by the lady's personal attendants. Now seeing this lady with a fairy-like appearance, they were so shocked that they even forgot to greet her.

Jiang Yuyan didn't care. She smiled friendly and gently asked them to help. She rolled up her sleeves and started cooking.

The servants naturally responded excitedly, some started to light the fire, some started to pick vegetables.

Nie Wuyou leaned against the door and looked at her. His eyes dimmed as he looked at her.

Ken cooked for him but couldn't see him at all.

He was proud by nature, and always hoped to find a wife and love her like his father and mother. So even if he liked this woman, he would not force her if she was not interested.

Jiang Yuyan quickly prepared three dishes and a soup.

"Is that enough this time?" Jiang Yuyan smiled.

"It's okay~" Nie Wuyou raised his eyebrows and walked over the stool to sit down.

But the next second he really smelled it.

It's so delicious! The chefs at Tianji Pavilion are just for free! They can't even cook!

Nie Wuyou swept away all the obstacles in his way, silently cursing in his heart.

Seeing that he was in a good mood, Jiang Yuyan rolled her eyes and began to make another request, "Why don't you just take my order and confirm my identity as the saint of this tribe, so that Xie Yi won't keep testing me. He even sent assassins here two days ago."

"Assassin? Are you okay?"

Nie Wuyou was nervous for a moment when he heard this. He didn't know what he was thinking about, but he said self-deprecatingly, "With your gentlemen who are highly skilled in martial arts, and the Sixteen Riders of Youyun, I am worrying for no reason."

Jiang Yuyan always felt that the man's tone was a bit sour. "Is that okay?"

"My pavilion has its own rules. We must not sell false information to others." Nie Wuyou frowned.

Jiang Yuyan thought for a while, "Lingshu Valley is extremely mysterious, so how about this, Shen Yi was indeed the Holy Son in the past, and no one knows whether there is a Holy Daughter in the clan. Your rule is not to spread false news, so you can always say it another way."

Nie Wuyou immediately understood what she meant and remained silent.

"You tell me this, don't you just want to help me?" Jiang Yuyan blinked, almost acting coquettishly.

Nie Wuyou was so bewitched that his mind became unstable. He always felt that he had lost to her and was secretly upset.

"I understand." After saying that, he ran away.

Jiang Yuyan looked at the figure that came and went like the wind, feeling puzzled.

In the Fourth Prince’s Palace.

At this moment, two guards were reporting to him.

"The two heroes of Yinshan Mountain said that Princess Lan Meng and General Yuheng were very affectionate and they were having fun every night. She was not seen meeting anyone in private. And news came from Tianji Pavilion that Shen Yi and Shen Canglan were indeed from Lingshu Valley."

Xie Yi was obviously not satisfied with the result. He slammed the table and frowned tightly.

He had nothing to do with the Lingshu clan. Shen Canglan appeared unexpectedly and opposed them. He didn't know why, but he found nothing after investigating...

It was all his fault that his sister was always doing evil. He had offended someone without knowing where, and had brought trouble upon himself...

"What a powerful person..." Xie Yi muttered to himself with a gloomy face. No one knew what he was thinking...

However, Nie Wuyou concealed the news from Jiang Yuyan, temporarily resolving her identity crisis.
