Xu Jingyang died. Immediately after giving birth to her daughter, she was stabbed to death by her own husband.
In her previous life, Xu Jingyang was the true eldest daughter of the Xu househo...
Chapter 47 As soon as I opened it, I heard the courtesan plotting how to assassinate King Yu
Qingying complained to Qi An under the eaves about what happened to Xu Suyuan that day.
"The Xu family is a beast in disguise. They appear to be well-mannered, but they have a wife and still have a mistress outside, and they don't feel ashamed."
Qi An, however, felt something was wrong. He ignored Qingying and went into the study. He couldn't help but ask Qi Yunshen, "Master, it seems Xu Suyuan already knew about Xu Yinlin, but in his heart, Xu Yinlin is not that important."
Whether she was a real sister or a fake sister, Xu Suyuan turned a blind eye.
Qi Yunshen did not respond and handed the processed memorial to Qi An.
"Send someone to Ningzhou to stop the people in the mountains and tie them up. Keep them at bay for now."
Qi An opened the letter and saw that it was a secret report from Ningzhou.
Ningzhou and Xiazhou are in the same direction and are also located in the northwest border area, but they are not bordering Western Xia towns, but continuous towering mountains. The terrain is particularly steep and sparsely populated.
The secret report stated that the secret guards had discovered a secret passage in the mountains of Ningzhou, with traces of weapons being transported.
"Yes, master." After saying that, Qi An turned and left.
"Qingying."
When Qingying heard Qi Yunshen calling her, she immediately went into the house.
Behind the desk, Qi Yunshen's face looked slightly gloomy.
"Drop Xu Yinlin in front of the Jiang family's door tomorrow."
Qi Yunshen wanted to see what Jiang Yunzheng was up to.
When did a young woman who never leaves the house get acquainted with Xu Jingyang?
This was the first time Jiang Yunzheng came to Zhining Courtyard since her rebirth. The courtyard was large and warm. Qi Zhenzhen led Jiang Yunzheng to the back, where was the doghouse that her father and she had built for Dahuang.
Inside, Da Huang was lying weakly on the cushion, looking at Qi Zhenzhen pitifully.
Qi Zhenzhen touched Dahuang's head, and instead of sitting down, he squatted aside and waited quietly.
More than half an hour later, Dahuang gave birth to a single puppy with wet fur. Qi Zhenzhen touched it with his fingers and widened his eyes in surprise.
Seeing her daughter's excited face, Jiang Yunzheng smiled faintly and asked Qi Zhenzhen to name the dog.
Qi Zhenzhen thought for a while and said in sign language, "Call him Xiaobai, and when he grows up, he'll be called Dabai."
Jiang Yunzheng's smile paused slightly, but this was a yellow-haired dog.
Seeing that her daughter liked it, Jiang Yunzheng agreed to her request.
The big wolf dog licked Qi Zhenzhen's palm, then put its big head in the little girl's palm. Qi Zhenzhen couldn't help but kissed the big dog's eyebrows.
Later, Qi Zhenzhen pulled Jiang Yunzheng to the front yard. There was a small pavilion next to the swing, which contained many rare and precious plants, as well as valuable flowers and plants outside.
Qi Zhenzhen pointed at the orchid on the table, looked up at Jiang Yunzheng, and his eyebrows stood up like caterpillars.
The orchid's leaves drooped, and its petals were scattered here and there, as if they had been bitten by something.
Jiang Yunzheng's eyes fell on a cage hanging by the tree, in which was a colorful parrot.
Qi Zhenzhen let out a small hum.
The parrot mimicked: "Stupid Zhenzhen, you can't catch my stupid Zhenzhen."
Qi Zhenzhen's little face wrinkled into a bun, and she climbed up the tree very nimbly and wanted to catch the parrot. The stupid bird was already in a cage and couldn't fly out. Once Zhenzhen caught it, it leaned listlessly in Qi Zhenzhen's palm and rubbed the little girl's wrist affectionately with its head.
It was the first time that Jiang Yunzheng felt that a bird could be so flattering.
Jiang Yunzheng came to the bottom of the tree and raised her hands: "Be careful, I'll carry you down."
Qi Zhenzhen shook her head, grabbed the bird and was about to jump down. Jiang Yunzheng was shocked and quickly hugged the little girl.
Qi Zhenzhen was obediently put on the ground by Jiang Yunzheng, and the parrot squatted on Qi Zhenzhen's shoulder.
Jiang Yunzheng poked the little girl's cheek and said, "I'll help you save the flower."
Qi Zhenzhen's eyes lit up, and he reached out and hugged Jiang Yunzheng's waist and rubbed it again and again.
This scene is very familiar.
Her eyes fell on the green bird. This bird had a really strong learning ability.
The orchid only looked seriously injured, but the tender buds on the main branches and the newly grown flower buds were not damaged. Jiang Yunzheng used scissors to cut off the broken branches, found a wooden stick to support it, and finally asked Zizhu to find some unused scraps of cloth to make a protective cover.
"If it gets cold and rains in a couple of days, we can put it inside the pavilion with this cover and it will be fine."
"You'll see flowers bloom in three days."
Qi Zhenzhen looked at Jiang Yunzheng with admiration. Jiang Yunzheng felt very warm in her heart and pinched the little girl's cheeks again.
Qi Zhenzhen asked Zizhu to go into the house and get some things out.
Qi Zhenzhen signed: "This is the cake that Daddy brought me. This one is the most delicious. This one is the braised food that Uncle San bought."
The pastries were still the familiar style. It turned out that Qi Yunshen bought them for the little girl that day.
Facing Qi Zhenzhen's expectant gaze, Jiang Yunzheng picked up a piece of mung bean cake in the shape of a gold ingot and put it into her mouth.
The sweet but not greasy snack filled her lips and teeth, and she touched the little girl's head.
It was getting late, and Jiang Yunzheng's continued stay in Zhining Courtyard would arouse suspicion. She leaned over and kissed the little girl on the forehead. When she turned around, she saw a tall and slender figure standing in the corridor, and she didn't know how long he had been looking at her.
Jiang Yunzheng kept smiling and walked past Qi Yunshen and left.
This time, it was Fang Fei who sent Jiang Yunzheng out of the house.
Fang Fei and Jiang Yunzheng had been in frequent contact during this period and had become familiar with each other. As they were chatting as they walked out, when they passed the front yard, Jiang Yunzheng stood still with a strange look on his face.
Fang Fei was confused: "Doctor Jiang, what's wrong?"
Jiang Yunzheng frowned and asked doubtfully, "I seem to hear a sound coming from underground."
Fang Fei laughed, "Doctor Jiang might have heard wrongly. Could there be an underground world in this mansion?"
Jiang Yunzheng curled her lips: "That's true."
In Zhining Courtyard.
As soon as Qi Yunshen arrived, the parrot didn't dare to stay any longer and flapped its wings to fly to the treetop.
Seeing his father coming, Qi Zhenzhen quickly swallowed the cake in his mouth, with an expression that said, "I only ate one piece, not more."
Humph, she only took it out to entertain guests.
Qi Yunshen's mouth twitched. Qi Zhenzhen was really an acting genius.
Seeing that her father didn't say anything to her, Qi Zhenzhen took Qi Yunshen's hand and walked towards the backyard. She quickly changed the subject and wanted to take Qi Yunshen to see Dahuang.
Jiang Yunzheng returned to Nianyunzhu and noticed something unusual as soon as she entered the house.
The maids outside the yard were still sweeping, while Hongyu and Wulu went to the front yard to learn how to manage the yard from the housekeeper.
Jiang Yunzheng walked closer and saw Hou Yue lying carelessly on her bed, supporting her head with her hands. "You're finally back. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Jiang Yunzheng wasn't surprised either. She poured herself a cup of tea and asked, "So soon, any news?"
Hou Yue went to Zui Chunfeng in the morning.
Hou Yue suddenly turned over and asked, "Aren't you shocked that I'm here?"
Jiang Yunzheng raised her eyebrows and said, "As long as you are willing, it won't be difficult to find out where I live."
Hou Yue pouted and said, "As soon as I climbed in, I overheard the courtesan plotting with others how to assassinate King Yu."
Assassinating King Yu...
Jiang Yunzheng glanced at Hou Yue. Hou Yue didn't show any concern for his former master. Instead, he gloated over his misfortune: "It's good that he died early. It's a death that makes people cry."
