Chapter 77 News
Late at night, a black figure quickly landed on the roof of Jiang Mansion.
After groping for a moment, the man in black nimbly landed on the roof of a courtyard.
After the lights inside dimmed completely and the scolding and cries of pain disappeared.
The man in black landed quietly outside the window and knocked it open with a sharp blade.
Then a black shadow flashed and came in through the window.
Jiang Qingxi walked steadily and quietly to the bed curtain. She used her sword to lift the curtain and saw the woman inside with red marks all over her body. She raised her hand and chopped her unconscious with a fierce knife.
"Oh, you're shameless."
Jiang Qingxi cursed in disgust, then raised the dagger in his hand. Several sharp blade beams flashed, and shadows fell.
As I turned to breathe, I heard the footsteps approaching outside the door.
As the maid entered the room, she jumped out of the window, then quietly closed the window sill and flew out of the Jiang Mansion without hesitation.
The copper basin fell to the ground, and the maid's scream came from behind. A cunning look flashed in Jiang Qingxi's eyes.
"You used to bully my sister every day, and now you dare to make up stories and insult her behind her back. This is all the retribution you deserve."
Jiang Qingxi skipped back to Ning Pavilion, but just as he climbed over the wall, he entered.
She could feel the bright lights behind her, and even human figures reflected on the wall.
"Jiang Qingxi, where did you go in the middle of the night?"
Jiang Qingning's cold voice sounded, filled with countless pressures.
Jiang Qingxi's back stiffened and he closed his eyes in fear. Then he slowly turned around, lowered his head and folded his hands, looking as if he had done something wrong.
"Sister, I'm going..."
"Come back to the room with me and we'll talk."
Jiang Qingning said this indifferently, turned around and walked towards the room angrily with Zi Su.
"Second Miss, please go and admit your mistake. The eldest lady couldn't find you just now and has searched the whole house."
The housekeeper holding a torch beside him explained helplessly, "You slipped out of the house without any notice, especially in the middle of the night. You really made the young lady worried..."
Jiang Qingxi nodded with difficulty, and she took a step forward to follow Jiang Qingning.
However, as soon as she entered the room, she met the gaze of Jiang Qingning who was sitting in the main seat. Her legs went weak and she knelt down by the door, unable to get up.
"Sister, I know I was wrong." Jiang Qingxi knelt down and admitted his mistake honestly.
"Where have you been?"
Jiang Qingning's eyes flickered slightly, hiding the heartache in his eyes, making his eyes full of seriousness and maintaining overall majesty.
"I... I ate too much... I couldn't sleep because of the food in my stomach... I just went out for a flight to digest it."
Jiang Qingxi scratched the back of his head and stammered to explain.
Jiang Qingning sneered and asked coldly, "Then what are you doing with this attitude? Can't you just say it out loud?"
Yes, isn't this just admitting that you made a mistake?
Jiang Qingxi quickly stood up, walked quickly to Jiang Qingning, raised his hand to hold her arm, and smiled ingratiatingly.
"Oh, sister, you know I've been afraid of your cold face since I was a child. How could I not be afraid when you looked so serious just now?"
Jiang Qingning cast a scrutinizing gaze on her face and sneered, "Kneel down!"
Jiang Qingxi knelt at her feet almost as a reflex, with a confused look on his face.
"Sister?"
"Little sister, do you really think that I don't know what you've been doing?"
Jiang Qingning lowered her eyes to look at her, raised her hand and pinched her chin, leaving Jiang Qingxi nowhere to hide from her sight.
"You went to the Jiang Mansion and looked for Jiang Ruyi."
Jiang Qingxi's pupils shrank slightly, and she looked at Jiang Qingning in horror. Suddenly, she had nowhere to hide, and she marveled at her elder sister's talent.
"Sister, I know I was wrong."
Jiang Qingxi bowed her head and admitted her fault. She said sincerely, "Sister, you can beat me or punish me as you like, but please don't get too angry. I have a certain understanding of my own skills. Besides, the Jiang family is so poor that they can't even afford a bodyguard. I won't fail."
Jiang Qingning's eyes grew colder. She looked at Jiang Qingxi, raised her hand and pinched her face, increasing the strength in her hand.
"Sister! Hey, sister, my face hurts. Sister, please forgive me. I won't dare to do this again!"
Jiang Qingxi's body tilted with Jiang Qingning's strength and posture, and he begged for mercy repeatedly.
Jiang Qingning looked at her crying out in pain, unable to increase the strength in his hands any further.
Jiang Qingning then let go of her hand and stood up, looking down at her. "Jiang Qingxi, I'm telling you again. If you dare to act like this again without telling me, I will directly ask the escort agency to send you back to Lingnan. Naturally, my father, mother, and brother will take care of you for me."
After he finished speaking, Jiang Qingning turned around and walked into the inner room without hesitation.
"Zi Su, send her back and put her in solitary confinement for three days. No snacks or meat allowed!"
Jiang Qingxi's pupils trembled. Looking at Jiang Qingning's resolute back, he realized that she was really angry.
"Second Miss, I will take you back first. Please don't make trouble anymore."
Zi Su sighed, helped Jiang Qingxi up, and walked out the door with her in dismay, trying to persuade her helplessly:
"Don't blame the young lady in your heart. How could she really hate you? She is willing to sacrifice her life for her family. Naturally, she would not tolerate your actions that put yourself in danger."
"For the next three days, you should reflect on yourself. The feud between the Jiang family and the Anping Marquis's residence is naturally a revenge plot orchestrated by the eldest daughter. Everything is in progress, and your every move could cause the plan to fail."
"I'm not blaming you. It's the young lady who can't afford the chance of you being caught if the plan fails. The people she cherishes most in her life are the master, the mistress, the eldest son, and you."
Jiang Qingxi felt extremely regretful, and her eyes turned red. "I'll be in solitary confinement for now. I'll apologize to Sister when I get out. From now on, I'll do whatever Sister asks me to do, and nothing else."
Zi Su nodded with a smile: "That's the right thing to do. The eldest lady is looking forward to the time when our family will be reunited."
Jiang Qingning sat in front of the bronze mirror, lowering her eyes and combing her waist-length black hair.
Zi Su came in with some water and walked to her side.
"Don't be angry, Miss. The Second Miss is just simple-minded and cares too much about you, so she wants to seek justice for you. She knows her limits."
Jiang Qingning sneered: "If you really know your limits, how could you get hurt?"
Thinking of Jiang Qingxi's unknown life or death, and falling outside the hospital.
She said absentmindedly, "Zi Su, I'd rather she be selfish. I don't want to see the scene that day again in my life."
"Girls all love beauty. She left a scar. Every time I saw it when she was changing the dressing, my heart ached."
Zi Su sighed: "Miss..."
Jiang Qingning's eyes sank. "Can you find a young official in the capital who is good at archery and has great strength?"
Zi Su nodded quickly: "The informant just sent me the news."
