Chapter 21 Jiang Youning's Strategy
[No way, no way? He won’t order a fourth bowl, will he?
Didn't he have breakfast and not feel hungry? Is this the reincarnation of a glutton? He eats so much...】
In order to pay attention to his image, Xie Ciyan immediately swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth, looked at his little guard and said slowly:
"Go and take care of these bowls, and ask for another bowl for Miss Jiang Liu. And by the way, check if anyone from the Jiang residence has arrived."
[Oh, I blamed him wrongly. He is quite considerate and can tell that I am not full. He is a good match for my sister.]
Jiang Youning put down her chopsticks like a lady and nodded to the guard who was attending the banquet: "Thank you for your help."
"No trouble, no trouble, Miss Jiang, please wait a moment!"
Shuofeng quickly hugged the bowl and turned away.
Now the life of his young marquis is in the hands of Miss Jiang Liu in front of him. For the sake of his master's happiness, he should make more contributions.
Soon, Shuofeng turned around and came back, still holding the empty bowl in his hand.
"Master, Miss Jiang, someone from the Jiang family is here."
"clear!"
Jiang Youning quickly got up and lay on the bed. After covering himself with the quilt, he took a pill that would make him fall asleep in one second while Xie Ciyan was not paying attention.
Next, it will be Xie Ciyan's turn to perform.
"Ningning! My precious daughter!"
Lin Xiangyin pushed open the door and came in. She looked around and when she saw Jiang Youning on the bed, she immediately rushed over with a scream.
Jiang Huaian and Jiang Heng also immediately rushed to Jiang Youning's side.
Jiang Wanrong originally wanted to rush over, but Xie Ciyan stopped her in time.
"Little... Miss Jiang Wu."
Xie Ciyan blinked at Jiang Wanrong and looked at the bedside.
Jiang Wanrong immediately understood.
When she regained her senses, she noticed the few drops of soup and vegetable leaves on the table, as well as the somewhat tempting fragrance in the air.
"Wanrong has met Young Marquis Xie. I wonder how my sister is doing now?"
Jiang Wanrong's words made Jiang Huaian wake up instantly.
He turned his head and clasped his fists in thanks for the banquet.
"I heard that it was the young marquis who saved my daughter. I would like to thank you here."
"You're welcome."
Xie Ciyan smiled at Jiang Huaian, and then continued:
"The doctor has examined her. Miss Jiang Liu is fine. She just got frightened and needs to rest for a while."
"That's great! Very good!"
Jiang Wanrong and Jiang Huaian completely relaxed.
"By the way, could you tell me where to find my daughter?"
After pausing for two seconds, he said slowly:
"She was kidnapped in a city god temple by someone who had played a prank on her.
When I met her, she was asking for help, so I brought the person back.
It’s just… I was useless, and those criminals were not caught.”
Xie Ciyan carefully said what Jiang Youning had taught him.
"Thank you very much, young marquis. When my daughter wakes up, I will bring her to thank you in person."
Hearing this, Jiang Huaian looked at Xie Ciyan with a hint of gratitude in his eyes.
The dissatisfaction I had in my heart yesterday towards the farewell banquet also disappeared completely at this moment.
"Uncle Jiang, you are too polite. This is what I should do."
Xie Ciyan couldn't help but smile.
As expected of her, she is his sister-in-law. After all these actions, at least the anger of his father-in-law and mother-in-law should have subsided.

Imperial Master's Mansion.
After Qing Qianxue woke up, she sat on the edge of the bed, her whole body aura somewhat cold.
When he woke up, the mask on his face was gone, and there was a faint fragrance on the bed and between the bedding.
Although he couldn't describe the specific smell, he was sure that it was the sweet scent that only women had.
"Qian Yan, explain."
With frost on her brow that could not be melted, Qing Qianxue uttered two words lightly.
"Master, what do you want to explain?"
Qian Yan's eyes were full of confusion.
Qing Qianxue uttered two words in a light tone.
"woman."
"What? What woman? Master, our Imperial Master's Mansion is just a Buddhist temple, and I don't have any women, right?
Or is it that you are attracted to a certain woman? "
When saying this, Qian Yan couldn't help but touch his head.
Qian Miao standing by was also confused.
Qing Qianxue's gaze fell on Qian Yan, like a cold blade that was about to pierce through his body.
At the side, Qian Miao saw Qing Qianxue's face becoming increasingly cold and spoke quickly.
"Master, after you returned home and took a medicinal bath yesterday, Doctor Ye came to check your pulse and found that your symptoms were no different from usual.
You then fell asleep, and no one entered the house, let alone a woman."
Having said that, Qian Yan secretly agreed with his brother's statement that the master might be possessed by evil spirits.
The master behaved strangely yesterday. The first thing he did after waking up was to ask a woman. It was really strange.
Qian Miao didn't seem to be lying, and Qian Yan also looked like he really didn't know.
Qing Qianxue couldn't help but frown.
"Really?"
"Yes! Master, you are not thinking about women, are you? How about I go and buy you one with a clean family background?"
Qian Yan looked at Qing Qianxue tentatively and spoke.
Qing Qianxue attacked with a sharp look.
Qian Yan closed his mouth out of a strong desire to survive.
Qian Miao on the side thought for a moment, and then said slowly:
"But you were a little strange yesterday, Master. Qian Yan said he heard some strange noises on the road.
And when you got off the carriage yesterday, the mask on your face was gone and your hands were still uncovered, as if you were holding a child.
I have a bold guess that you might be targeted by some evil spirit. How about I ask a master to come and take a look for you?"
"Yes, yes, yes! I heard that there is a Master Xuyang who is very powerful and will not leave the mountain easily.
Master, would you like me to help you tie up the person now... Please come here."
Qian Yan immediately nodded in agreement.
"absurd!"
Qing Qianxue spat out two words in a sharp voice.
Qian Yan and Qian Miao immediately shut up and lowered their heads.

Jiang Mansion.
Jiang Youning was forced to wake up after returning to his warm bed.
She also wanted to sleep a little longer, but the effect of the pill that made her sleep in one second was only ten minutes. She avoided Lin Xiangyin's first wave of screams, but her tears were so many that they seemed to be free.
Lin Xiangyin cried all the way, and Jiang Youning felt like his head was about to explode.
"Mom, why are you crying?"
Jiang Youning spoke in a small voice. She reached out and carefully touched the tears on Lin Xiangyin's face with the dirty sleeve of her linen shirt.
