That person
Jiang Yan took a nap, and by evening, she realized that Huang Ying had not returned, and she became frightened.
Just as she thought, she was merely occupying Liu Ruyi's body, not the real Liu Ruyi. Huang Ying was so loyal to her Miss Ruyi; if she were to lose faith in her and reveal her secret, wouldn't death be the only fate awaiting her?
Although she had considered returning to modern society through death, that didn't mean she really wanted to die in a muddle!
So without further hesitation, he rushed off to find Huang Ying.
Jiang Yan walked quickly along the path leading to the front yard, fantasizing that she would meet Huang Ying the next second, and then see her casually smiling and saying to her, "Master, what are you doing here?" Then she would happily follow her back.
But the reality is that fantasy is just fantasy. She walked anxiously for a long time without seeing a single person, let alone a nightingale, and couldn't help but let her imagination run wild again.
Could it be that Huang Ying has already told her secret to others?
Do you think Shangguan Zeyu will believe it?
I wondered how she would die? Would she be executed by slow slicing or torn apart by five horses?
Thinking of the terrifying parts, she couldn't help but shrink her neck several times.
Just as she was so frightened by her wild thoughts that she could hardly breathe and her legs felt weak, a young man's voice suddenly rang out not far to her right.
The voice was very pleasant, gentle yet powerful; just imagining it, one could tell he must be a handsome and dashing man.
The problem is, this is a royal residence. Who could he be, a man? Aside from a servant, it could probably be a monk, so he ignored him.
But to her surprise, he asked, "Who are you?" It was an interrogation, but his tone was very gentle.
But Jiang Yan remained unceremonious: "Who do you care who I am!"
The person seemed to fall silent, or perhaps leave. Jiang Yan didn't notice and was about to continue walking forward when the person spoke softly again.
"Such a bad temper?"
Jiang Yan was already in a bad mood and was just looking for someone to argue with, so when she heard him say that, she immediately flew into a rage and shouted, "What's it to you!"
But when she looked up at him, she found that his figure had disappeared into the layers of greenery directly in front of her, and she was so angry that she shouted at his back again.
"Didn't you want to know who I am? Why are you running so fast?"
But the person had already gone far away and did not hear her shout.
She stood there frustrated, let out a low growl, and then decided to turn back the way she came.
To hell with it, let her say what she wants, let her tattle if she wants, she doesn't care!
He stormed off to Pear Blossom Residence, but by the time he returned, it was already dark.
Fuqu had returned sometime earlier. When she saw her suddenly walk back from outside, she was stunned for a moment before running up to her.
"Master, you've gone out?" He glanced behind her again. "Isn't Sister Huang Ying with you?"
"Don't mention Huang Ying to me!!" Jiang Yan stormed towards the house, adding, "Don't bother me, I'm tired, I need to rest!"
Fuqu was completely baffled, but she obediently hummed in agreement.
Jiang Yan returned to her room, still feeling so down that she felt uncomfortable all over.
She haphazardly took off her clothes and threw them on the hanger, casually tossed her shoes off, then lay down on the bed, sighed deeply, turned over, wrapped herself in the blanket, and went to sleep.
She slept until breakfast time the next day.
The oriole was not serving her at her bedside as usual, and the lotus was not in the courtyard either. Her heart was filled with unease again.
Just as she was so terrified that she didn't know what to do, Fuqu suddenly ran back from outside the courtyard.
"Master, you're awake?" she asked with a smile.
Jiang Yan couldn't help but smile slightly as well.
Fuqu: "Sister Huangying has gone to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for you. Please wait a moment."
Jiang Yan was momentarily dazed, then asked uncertainly, "You mean... what happened to Huang Ying?"
"Master, are you hungry? Sister Huang Ying has gone to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for you. She should be on her way back by now," Fu Qu replied, stopping her sweeping of the yard.
Jiang Yan finally had a chance to catch her breath and muttered to herself, "Good, good, that's great, they didn't say anything."
Fuqu didn't understand what she meant, and tilted her head to look at her: "Master, is there anything you need to tell me?"
Jiang Yan chuckled and hurriedly said, "No, no, no, no, you continue, you continue." Then she jogged back to her room.
Oh dear, that gave her a huge fright, a real fright!
I knew it! Huang Ying isn't stupid, how could she possibly do something like that?
She's overthinking it.
Huang Ying was just angry; deep down, she still hoped that she could seek justice for her young lady! Hahaha, don't be afraid!
Jiang Yan jumped onto the bed with a gleeful smile, spread out in a "big" shape, and chuckled foolishly.
Fuqu said that Huangying had gone to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for Jiang Yan, but Jiang Yan waited for more than half an hour without seeing Huangying return. She concluded that Huangying must have encountered trouble, so she took Fuqu, who was just as anxious and worried as she was, and went to find Huangying.
Just as Jiang Yan guessed, Huang Ying was being harassed, and it was by Wang Qianqian's people!
Jiang Yan went to the kitchen but didn't see Huang Ying. She asked the people there, but they all pretended not to hear her, as if they were deaf.
Jiang Yan was furious, but there was nothing she could do about it.
It was Fuqu again; she was quick-witted enough to glance around the kitchen, not seeing Huang Ying, and then run out. Just as Jiang Yan was getting angry because of those people's indifference and apathy, Fuqu ran back crying.
"It's terrible, Master! Sister Huang Ying... she's been beaten up!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan's expression changed drastically: "Where is he?"
“Here!” Fuqu cried as she led the way, with Jiang Yan following behind her with a worried expression.
They went around to the back of the kitchen and came to a small storage room where they found the oriole.
The oriole, with its disheveled hair and a bruise on its left beak, looked as if it had no strength left and leaned weakly against the southeast corner.
At first glance, Jiang Yan didn't dare to associate her with the beautiful and clean-looking Huang Ying she knew. It wasn't until Fu Qu ran to her side and tucked her long hair, which was draped over her forehead, behind her ear that she could see her features clearly and then she dared to confirm that she was indeed Huang Ying!
What happened?
She hadn't seen her for only a few hours, how could she be injured like this?
Although Jiang Yan didn't know Huang Ying very well, Huang Ying had taken good care of her for the past half month, so it would be a lie to say she wasn't grateful!
Moreover, Huang Ying is just a child, or even a junior high school student in modern society. How could she not feel bad after being beaten like that?
"Huang Ying, don't worry, I will definitely avenge you!"
Feeling both heartache and regret, Jiang Yan ran to Huang Ying's side, knelt on the ground, and hugged Huang Ying in her arms.
Just as Jiang Yan guessed, it was indeed Wang Qianqian's people who beat Huang Ying. So Jiang Yan had Fu Qu find some medicine, applied it to Huang Ying, and then took the two servants from her courtyard to find Wang Qianqian.
Huang Ying didn't want Jiang Yan to get into trouble because of her, but Jiang Yan said that while she was afraid of trouble, she wasn't. She hadn't hurt them, yet they had hurt her—this was intolerable! She was determined to show them she wasn't someone to be trifled with!
He insisted on taking the two servants to the Begonia Garden.
Perhaps feeling guilty, the people in Haitang Garden were so frightened when they saw that it was Jiang Yan, accompanied by two servants, that they all fled in panic.
Jiang Yan randomly grabbed a maid and ordered her to take them to find Wang Qianqian.
Wang Qianqian's Begonia Garden was very large, four or five times the size of her Pear Blossom Residence, and its layout was also very complicated. They wandered around for a long time before finally arriving at Wang Qianqian's courtyard.
The maid who was leading the way did not dare to go in, but only said outside the archway: "Your Highness, the young mistress is playing the zither, and this maid dares not go forward to disturb her."
"Go down." Jiang Yan didn't make things difficult for her and went inside with two servants.
