Upon hearing this, Jiang Nuan clenched her fists.
Three zhang is exactly the maximum range she can perceive. How did these people know that?
"I don't need your protection, get lost!"
“Madam,” the guard bowed his head, “this subordinate obeys only His Majesty’s orders.”
"Stay away from me!"
With that, he stormed back to his room and immediately wrote a letter, “Send this to your master. No matter what method you use, I want a reply the day after tomorrow.”
She thought that the servants scattered throughout the mansion were enough to put Ji Xuan at ease, but she didn't expect there to be others lurking in the shadows.
Liar, didn't you say you were going to leave?
If it weren't for this accident today, I don't know when it would have been discovered.
Jiang Nuan was somewhat relieved; she never let unfamiliar people into her room, thus avoiding the exposure of her biggest secret.
However, this time she was really angry.
She doesn't need either surveillance or protection.
An San accepted the letter expressionlessly and disappeared from Jiang Nuan's sight in an instant.
Actually, I was extremely panicked.
He never expected to be caught, after all, his greatest skill was concealment, and he could even adjust his breathing to match the surrounding environment.
Looking at the thin envelope, my heart felt incredibly heavy.
She pursed her lips, and in the end, without saying a word, let herself be seen off.
These shadowy guards, living in the shadows, are professional scapegoats, so it's no wonder they're being blamed.
After An San left, Jiang Nuan was enveloped in a chilling aura. She sat at the stone table with her eyes lowered, not uttering a single word.
After a short while, feeling that the time was about right, she removed the formation.
In an instant, everyone slowly woke up.
"Mother," Xie Shi reacted quickly, "this is an array?"
How amazing!
"Hmm," Jiang Nuan replied absentmindedly.
Seeing this, Madam Xie asked cautiously, "Mother, what's wrong?"
"I'm a little annoyed, but I'll be fine in a bit," Jiang Nuan took a deep breath, suppressing her anger. "The Jin family's villa has always been empty, so they had the servants clean it up."
"Is Mother going to escape the summer heat?"
"Get them ready first. Have the butler take them there. Remember, don't leave a single one behind!"
She doesn't want to see these people who don't know whether they're friend or foe right now.
"Huh?" Madam Xie was quite surprised. "Are you sure you won't leave a single one alive?"
"right!"
"Okay, I'll go talk to the housekeeper."
"Why did you chase everyone away for no reason?" The straightforward Huang Lao Er got straight to the point.
After he said that, everyone realized what he meant.
“Yes,” Huang Xiaosan asked in surprise, “There’s nothing on the mountain, what do they eat and drink?”
"Give them some money for living expenses and let them buy their own food. That's settled then." Jiang Nuan got up and went directly to the steward.
It's best if she handles this personally.
"That's strange," Old Huang said, completely bewildered. "Does anyone know what's going on?"
"Perhaps they broke some taboo," Huang Xiaosan said, unsure.
The housekeeper was also dumbfounded when he heard the news.
However, he was extremely perceptive, and after his subtle attempts to persuade Jiang Nuan failed to change her mind, he had no choice but to leave with his people.
They were almost certain that their group had been rejected by their master.
As for the reason, it could be misplaced anger or distrust.
Jiang Nuan thought that the person hiding in the shadows would reveal themselves after these actions, but instead, she pretended to be dead so that people would dig a hole and bury her.
"Ninja Turtles!"
Jiang Nuan felt a lump in her throat, unable to utter a sound after she had slapped Ji Xuan in the face like that.
"Mother," Xie Shi looked at Jiang Nuan, whose face was ashen, and became even more worried, "What happened?"
"It's nothing," Jiang Nuan glanced at the hiding place of An San, "There's a mouse in the house that won't leave."
Something suddenly swayed for a moment on the treetop.
Dark Three was also helpless.
How could he possibly make his master's decision?
He didn't do much, just sent out updates on the Huang family every two days, mainly for the purpose of protecting them from the sidelines.
“Buy rat poison,” Xie suggested. “We can also find a doctor to make it. It’s a pity that Doctor Gu has passed away, otherwise it would be so convenient to find him.”
“Rat poison is too cheap for him,” Jiang Nuan sneered. “It would take more poison, arsenic, hookworm, or poison wine.”
What is this?
"A poison that will kill anyone who touches it."
How ruthless!
An San couldn't help but shudder, and then, with a strong will to survive, he wrote a report.
Ji Xuan replied much faster than Jiang Nuan had expected.
The following day at noon, An San handed it over.
After reading it once, Jiang Nuan looked at An San in front of her with a cold smile, "Your master said he would bestow you upon me, what do you say?"
An San forced a smile and replied, "Your subordinate will obey your master."
“Great,” Jiang Nuan clapped her hands. “Let’s see you do a striptease, the kind where you wiggle your hips and take off a piece of clothing.”
Upon hearing this, An San swallowed hard and said in a hoarse voice, "This isn't appropriate."
"What?" Jiang Nuan asked curiously, "For so many days, you've been so noble in your aversion to seeing what's improper?"
An San remained silent.
He is a bodyguard with professional ethics.
"It's okay for others to look at you, but it's not okay for others to look at you?"
“I only saw it once by accident,” An San explained with difficulty, “I turned my head away after just one glance.”
"woman?"
Although Jiang Nuan had a question, she was very certain.
An San did not answer.
"Besides you, is there anyone else keeping watch on you?"
"No."
“I am your master now,” Jiang Nuan warned seriously, “or do you want to go back to Ji Xuan’s side?”
“There’s another batch,” An San said decisively, “in the house next door.”
“I don’t understand,” Jiang Nuan asked curiously, “With so many good things, isn’t Ji Xuan’s appetite satisfied? Why is he fixated on me?”
“Madam,” An San said with a wry smile, “you attract more flies than you realize.”
The master had only been back in court for half a month, and he had already expelled seven groups of people who came to test him.
After a moment's thought, Jiang Nuan knew that what he said was true.
His expression softened slightly. "No matter what, your master has already bestowed you upon me. Let bygones be bygones. But if you dare to sell information to Ji Xuan again, you'll be sorry."
"Understood."
"Get lost, just looking at you makes my liver hurt!"
"yes."
Without hesitation, An San leaped into the air and left.
Madam Xie, who had come out to look for Jiang Nuan, happened to witness this scene and was so shocked that she covered her mouth, "Mother, who is he?"
She remembered that this person did not live in her home.
"The newly hired guard," Jiang Nuan didn't intend to trouble her daughter-in-law with her, "is a bit eccentric, but he has some skills, so we'll just make do with him."
Refunds are not available at this time.
“It is indeed very strange,” Xie agreed wholeheartedly. “Wearing all black in broad daylight, with his face covered in a mess of paint that makes him unrecognizable, he looks like a thief.”
He wasn't a thief; he just stole intelligence while others stole money.
"Bear with it for now. The family needs it. When the opportunity comes later, we'll just find an excuse to send them away."
Perhaps we shouldn't have given away so much in the first place.
In a moment of impulsiveness, he only thought that he could make life better for the people of the world, but he forgot that he was just a commoner and it was not very convenient for him to deal with things.
