Chapter 48: Tricked into the House to Become a Concubine
"Mom, you guys go out for a while, I'll take care of something, and then I'll come find you."
Xiaohan's current state clearly shows that his cultivation has been exhausted. It goes without saying that he must have noticed something strange in the next room last night.
It just so happened that he was facing that man. His cultivation was not high, and it could even be said to be extremely low.
She was no match for that man at all. The reason why that man left was probably because he saw Xiaohan turning back into his original form and was afraid of alarming others, so he left.
When Lin Zhixue learned that the white tiger was Jiang Nanyuan's pet, she believed that the tiger would not harm her.
Only then did she feel at ease and walked out with Bai Zhi.
After they left, Jiang Nanyuan wanted to ask Xiaohan if he could still speak, but she saw that he was so weak that he couldn't even lift his head.
She simply stopped asking and directly took him into the space, letting him practice slowly in the space. It would probably take less than a few decades for him to turn back into human form.
There was no way. The spiritual energy in her space was not very sufficient now. It would take a long time for her to practice relying on the little spiritual energy in the space.
“Ahh…”
Jiang Nanyuan had just put Xiaohan into the space when she heard Lin Zhixue's terrified screams coming from Xiaohong's room.
Oh no, I forgot about this. It must be Xiaohong’s corpse that scared Lin Zhixue.
Jiang Nanyuan immediately walked towards Xiaohong's room. Seeing Lin Zhixue and Bai Zhi falling to the ground in fright, she quickly walked forward and helped Lin Zhixue up.
"Mom, are you okay?" When Lin Zhixue saw that it was Jiang Nanyuan who came, she held her hand tightly and asked with trembling lips.
"Yuan'er, what happened to Xiaohong? Why did she become like this?"
Jiang Nanyuan had no choice but to tell Lin Zhixue about her guess.
Now that their location has been exposed, they have come once, and who knows if they will come again.
She was not afraid of that man, but if he attacked Lin Zhixue and she was too late to save him, she would die at his hands.
Jiang Nanyuan was wondering whether to find another inn to stay in, or buy a house to live in first.
After all, buying a house was not a difficult task for her, but they would be exiled soon, and she was afraid of wasting it if she bought it.
In the end, she decided to buy a smaller house, so that she could set up a simple formation in the house.
Thinking of this, she also told Lin Zhixue about her idea. Lin Zhixue had no opinion at all, and now she listened to Jiang Nanyuan in everything.
After Jiang Nanyuan made the decision, she glanced at Xiaohong's body, then asked Baizhi and Qiuyue to pull her body out and find a suitable place to bury it.
She asked Lin Zhixue to go back to the house first, and then she went out to find the landlord who helped her sell the shop yesterday.
She asked him to introduce her to some suitable houses. Jiang Nanyuan followed him to look at several houses and finally set her eyes on a house with only one entrance.
The house is not very big, but it is enough for living.
After deciding to take the house, Jiang Nanyuan wanted to give him some money, but the landlord didn't accept it. Instead, he took out several thousand taels of silver notes and handed them to her.
"Miss, this is the money you paid for the shops you sold yesterday. You can deduct the money for this house from it today."
Jiang Nanyuan didn't expect the sale to be so quick. All the shops were sold. She took the banknotes, nodded without counting them, and went to the government office with the landlord to register the house deeds.
It was already 1:15 PM when I finished all this. I was a little hungry, so I went back to the inn and asked Lin Zhixue and Qiuyue Baizhi to pack up.
After they checked out of the guest room, Jiang Nanyuan first took them to the new house and put their things down. Then they went to the restaurant to eat together.
While eating, Lin Zhixue suddenly thought of the white tiger. It seemed that she had not seen it since she saw it that morning.
"Yuan'er, where's your pet? Why didn't you bring it back to the house? Did it leave it at the inn?"
Although Lin Zhixue was a little scared of the white tiger, it was Jiang Nanyuan's pet, so she should try to accept it.
"Mom, I'm afraid it might scare others, so I'll let it go somewhere else first."
When Lin Zhixue heard what was going on, she nodded to show that she understood.
Qiuyue and Baizhi admired Jiang Nanyuan very much.
This young lady who was raised outside is so amazing.
Not only is his medical skill superb, but even his pets are so unique.
Is there any other young lady in the capital who can keep a white tiger as a pet like them?
Thinking of this, Baizhi and Qiuyue looked a little proud, as if they were the ones who were awesome.
After lunch, Jiang Nanyuan didn't rush back, but took Lin Zhixue to visit the shops in the capital.
In the past, Lin Zhixue was also a famous young lady in the capital, but now she dresses simply and wears simple wooden hairpins in her hair.
She had no jewelry on her body. She had lived a hard life for so many years and was used to this simple look.
"Mom, let's go to the Treasure Pavilion and see if there's any suitable jewelry. Let's pick some out."
Lin Zhixue thought that Jiang Nanyuan wanted to buy jewelry. The Treasure Pavilion is a famous jewelry store in the capital.
Every piece of jewelry in there is extremely expensive, but the workmanship and patterns are indeed top-notch.
Ladies and young ladies in the capital all like to buy jewelry at the Treasure Pavilion.
Since Yuan'er wants to go, then I'll go with her.
The two of them walked towards the Treasure Pavilion with their maid. When they arrived at the door, the waiter standing at the door stopped them.
"You two, our Treasure Pavilion is not open to just anyone. If you want to pick out some jewelry, you should go to another shop."
The waiter looked back and forth between the two of them with a look of contempt.
They are dressed so poorly, yet they still want to come to the Treasure Pavilion to buy jewelry, without even considering their own weight.
Seeing his naked contempt, Jiang Nanyuan couldn't help but frown, "It's just a dog in the Treasure Pavilion, and you dare to bark at the door."
"You...you bitch, what did you say? How dare you call me a dog?"
Treasure Pavilion is a shop opened by Xiao Yujing's maternal grandfather, the Liu family.
Because of this, everything in their Treasure Pavilion is ridiculously expensive, and even the guys working there look down on others.
Especially when he saw that Lin Zhixue and Jiang Nanyuan were not dressed luxuriously, he guessed that they were not noble ladies from the capital at all and were not afraid of offending them.
"What happened? What are you all doing standing at the door?"
A voice came from behind Jiang Nanyuan and the others.
The waiter who had been arrogant just now immediately put on a smiling face when he saw the people behind them and walked forward flatteringly.
"Second Prince, how come you have time to come here today? Are you here to pick out some jewelry? Come on, come in quickly."
The waiter ran to Xiao Yujing attentively and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation to him.
Xiao Yujing ignored the waiter. His gaze fell on Jiang Nanyuan, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
When did such a beautiful woman come to the capital?
Judging from her simple clothes, she must not be a lady from a wealthy family.
I guess she is from some small county town. Women like this are the easiest to deceive.
He wanted to trick her into coming into his house to be his concubine.
