Chapter 271 Jiang Nianyin disappears
Madam Li was leaning on a cane. If the maid beside her hadn't supported her, she would have fallen. She shouted, "Who dares? Who's in charge of this family? Yulan, come here."
Li Yulan was so scared that her soul almost flew away. What if she was kicked out today?
The news would definitely spread throughout Shengjing tomorrow. How could she carry out her plan then? She broke free from the servant's hand and snuggled into the old lady's arms: "Grandma, Yulan really knows her mistake..."
Madam Li stroked her hair lovingly and said, "Good girl, I won't let anyone take you away."
Jiusu's eyes darkened slightly. In fact, she didn't want to have any conflict with her grandmother, at least not before she entered the Marquis' Mansion. But now, it was not a question of whether she wanted to or not.
People simply look down on her.
Yi Hui also protected his daughter in the same manner: "Don't you listen to me? Hurry and drag her out!"
She met the old lady's fierce gaze and still did not back down.
"Mother, I don't know what my daughter-in-law did wrong to ask you to protect the murderer. Is everything she did your will?"
Madam Li's face flushed red with pent-up anger. She raised her voice and said, "Yi Hui, how dare you throw dirty water on me? Do you still have eyes for me? Yu Lan has already realized her mistake. Please forgive her when you can."
Jiusu said, "Since leaving the cave, I have been invincible. I should show mercy to others. My mother and I are not invincible, but we are pitiful and weak women. I beg you, grandmother, to show mercy and not let such a harmful spirit stay in the mansion. Otherwise, it will cause trouble and disturb the peace of the mansion."
By my daughter-in-law and my granddaughter who just came back.
Such a run.
Of course she lost face.
"I'll stay, what can you do?" Old Madam Li took Li Yulan's hand and walked towards Shouchun Courtyard. There were maids beside them to stop them. They left the main courtyard at a very fast speed.
Yi Hui: “You…”
Jiusu held her hand and shook his head at her: "Li Yulan came back earlier than us. I don't know what plans she has secretly made. She can be honest here for a few days. Let's take this opportunity to investigate thoroughly."
The sky gradually darkened and snowflakes fell.
Yi Hui closed the window and said with a smile, "Everything is fine at the mansion. You can go to the Jiang residence. Remember to say hello to your aunt Jiang with me."
Shengjing exudes luxury everywhere.
Before, when the Jiang family's property was ransacked, there was chaos here. For a long time, small vendors did not dare to set up stalls on the nearby streets. Now the Jiang family has regained the emperor's favor.
Everyone wants to get some of the joy.
The housekeeper of the Jiang Mansion didn't know Jiusu, and he couldn't help feeling a little annoyed. The young master had already announced to the public that he had a lover, so why were these people still trying to squeeze in?
He said, "I'm really sorry, my son is very busy with official duties and can't meet you."
Jiusu said, "I'll look for Aunt Jiang."
The housekeeper still refused: "Madam is ill and cannot see guests. Miss, you can tell me your name. If Madam and Master are free, I will go and report to them."
The woman hesitated for a few seconds, knowing that it was just a perfunctory compliment.
But he still said openly: "My name is Jiusu, thank you for your help."
Before she turned around and left, the butler changed his indifferent expression and bowed respectfully with his fists clasped.
The housekeeper said sincerely, "Miss Jiu, I'm really sorry. My eyes are blurry and I didn't recognize you. The master and the lady are both free. Please come in."
He waved.
The two gatekeepers at the gate of the mansion quickly opened the door.
Jiusu smiled lightly: "You have never seen me, it's normal that you don't know me."
The housekeeper thought the young master had excellent taste and that this girl was quite good. He sighed and said, "Ever since the young master and his wife returned, many noble ladies have come to visit. Their only purpose is to form a relationship with us, but the young master has rejected them all. Don't worry, young lady..."
As they spoke, they came to the yard.
The fragrance of bamboo and plum blossoms wafts to your face.
The heavy curtains covered the main hall, so she couldn't see inside clearly. She could only hear people talking inside. She could tell that two of the people involved were her aunt and Ajing.
She couldn't recognize the other female voice.
It's not chanting.
The housekeeper said, "Princess Jincai is inside."
Jiusu was stunned and stood at the door, hesitating whether to knock. She had never met the princess and she didn't know any etiquette or rules. It would be bad if she offended the princess.
The next second, the door opened.
The princess's personal maid was about to go to the kitchen to urge the food to be cooked when she saw a stranger. She asked cautiously, "Who are you?"
The housekeeper was about to help her out.
Then a cold voice with surprise and joy called out: "A Su!"
The man walked over quickly, his body filled with longing, and took her into his arms. Hearing footsteps behind him, he suppressed his reluctance and let her go. "This is Princess Jin Cai."
Jiusu Fushen: "Meet the princess."
Jin Cai wrapped her cloak tightly around her body. Seeing the two still holding hands tightly, a hint of jealousy rose in her heart. She forced a smile and said, "I have heard of Miss Jiu's great name for a long time. Seeing her today, she is really beautiful."
As a woman, Jiusu quickly felt her hostility.
"You are so kind, Princess."
Mother Jiang interrupted their conversation, her every move revealing joy. She invited, "Susu, have dinner here. I'll have the housekeeper tell your parents."
Jiusu caught a glimpse of the man's eager eyes from the corner of her eye.
She responded: "Then I'll trouble you, auntie."
"No trouble, come in and warm up." Jiang's mother lifted the curtain and motioned for them to go in. She glanced at the backs of her son and Susu, her eyes full of smiles.
Just sat down.
Jiusu asked, "Where is Nian Yin?"
Jiang Jing was puzzled: "Didn't she come with you?"
"Half an hour ago, we stopped the car on the street ahead, and she said she wanted to walk back to the Jiang Mansion." Jiusu's eyes paused, and her breath couldn't help but catch. "Isn't Nian Yin back yet?"
Jiang Jing shook his head.
Jin Cai said, "I've been here all afternoon and haven't seen Nianyin. It seems she's either out playing or kidnapped. Nianyin has a well-behaved personality, so the latter is more likely."
Before he finished speaking, he looked at Jiusu.
There was anger and accusation in his eyes.
Jiusu pursed her lips and said, "I'm going to find Nian Yin."
"Asu, don't be anxious. Just point out where Nian Yin got off the carriage." Jiang Jing asked someone to bring a map of Shengjing. He held the woman's shoulders and signaled her not to lose her judgment because of her anxiety.
Jiusu didn't recognize the Shengjing route at all.
Her eyes lit up and she shouted outside, "Mingheng! Come and point out where we got off the bus."
Mingheng walked in and pointed to Changping Street.
At first, when Princess Jincai heard Mingheng's name, she thought he was just someone with a similar name. Unexpectedly, he was actually the guard beside Jiang Jing.
This woman can actually be ordered around!
She said, "The area around Changping Street is where the rich and powerful live. Logically, they all know Nian Yin, so nothing should happen."
They couldn't refute the princess's words.
But the young couple looked at each other and looked at the word "An Mansion" on the map.
Who else in Shengjing could have ill intentions towards Nian Yin?
An Wenzhi.
