Chapter 23 Don’t even think about touching my hand
A moment.
An older maid came in.
"Madam Xu, why did Concubine Li send you here?" Lu Ze'an quickly stepped forward and said in a very friendly manner. Concubine Li was his biological sister.
"My Lord, the Empress told you to quickly resolve the issues in the mansion and not let the gossip outside affect the reputation of the mansion or even the Fifth Prince." Nanny Xu conveyed her master's meaning with a cold face.
Lu Ze'an actually guessed her intention and quickly said, "Madam Xu, please tell Concubine Li that I will resolve this matter as soon as possible."
Nanny Xu looked at Yao and said sternly, "You go out first. Concubine Li wants to speak to the Marquis alone."
Yao took a deep breath. Why let her go?
Lu Ze'an signaled her to go down with his eyes.
Yao had no choice but to leave.
But she didn't go far. Instead, she stood in the yard. Because the door was closed, she couldn't hear what the two were saying. But after a while, Aunt Xu came out and didn't look at her at all when she passed by her.
Yao was very angry when she saw her arrogant look, but she was the nanny beside Concubine Li, so she didn't dare to say anything.
"Master, what did Concubine Li say?" When she saw Lu Ze'an coming out, she quickly went to meet him.
"She asked me to finish this matter quickly." Lu Ze'an said.
"What are you going to do?"
"Kill Jiang Yunxi."
Yao's eyebrows lit up with joy, and she said excitedly, "Master, she really deserves to die. She is the one who caused all this. Now that she is dead, naturally no one will pay attention to this matter anymore."
Lu Ze'an nodded. As long as Jiang Yunxi was alive, this matter would continue to ferment.
…
The next day.
Jiang Yunxi and Zhan Beiyuan took the child to the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion, intending to put the child down while they continued to look for the remaining dry wells. Since the Marquis Wenxin's Mansion did not take any action last night, she knew that the soul of the Xie family was not in the dry well they were looking for.
Otherwise, Lu Ze'an would definitely be anxious to take action.
But she still decided to check all the remaining dry wells.
"Grandfather!"
When Momo and Mianmian saw Jiang Jingan, they called out softly. They were not afraid of strangers at all and acted very familiar with each other.
Jiang Jing'an liked the two little guys at first sight. No wonder Yun Xi brought the children to his home and His Royal Highness Prince Han accepted them. Momo is exactly like him when he was a child. Although Mianmian doesn't look much like him, her eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to his mother.
If he doesn't acknowledge the child, I guess all the people in the capital will call him a heartless man!
"Good children, take this. This is the red envelope your grandfather gave you." Jiang Jing'an said as he took out two big red envelopes from his left and right sleeve pockets and handed them to them. They were all filled with silver bills.
He didn't know what to buy, so he just gave them money and let them buy whatever they wanted.
"Thank you, grandpa." Momo and Mianmian caught it at the same time, their faces full of surprise.
Ever since their mother brought them to the capital to find their father, they have received a lot of gifts, from the royal grandfather, father, great-grandmother, second uncle, and royal uncle.
"Mo Mo, Mian Mian, this is for you from your uncle." Jiang Jinghuai took out the red envelopes he had prepared. The two children looked very likable.
"Thank you, uncle." Momo and Mianmian approached with smiling eyes.
Jiang Jing'an looked at Zhan Beiyuan and said, "Prince Han, why don't you let the two children stay in the Duke of Ying's mansion for a few days?"
"The children and I will stay at the Duke of England's Mansion for the next few days, and then take them back to the palace after a few days." Jiang Yunxi also wanted to stay at the Duke of England's Mansion, so that she could study what the other party had done here.
"Yes." Zhan Beiyuan did not refuse. She had just returned to the capital to recognize her relatives, and he had no reason to stop her from living in the Duke of Ying's mansion.
"You have things to do, and leave the child at the Duke of England's mansion." The old lady said with a smile on her face.
After giving some instructions, Jiang Yunxi left with Zhan Beiyuan.
After seeing them leave, Mrs. Mu looked at Momo and Mianmian with indifferent eyes, without any joy in her heart. Perhaps it was because she didn't like Jiang Yunxi, so naturally she couldn't like them either.
…
After Jiang Yunxi and Zhan Beiyuan left, they went directly to see the dry well.
"There was no movement in the Wenxin Marquis Mansion last night. Could it be that the souls are not in these dry wells we are looking for?" Zhan Beiyuan said.
"You're right."
"So are you still looking for it today?"
"This is a trick. Just wait and see. In three days, the Wen Xinhou Mansion will be in big trouble." Jiang Yunxi's beautiful face showed a meaningful expression. Finding a dry well was just a means for her to confuse Wen Xinhou.
Zhan Beiyuan: "Do you have other plans? What are they?"
"Alone." Jiang Yunxi said with a smile.
"who?"
"Stretch out your hand and I'll read your palm."
Zhan Beiyuan's handsome face turned dark and cold, and he refused in a cold voice: "I will know in three days."
What I mean is, don’t even think about touching my hand!
Jiang Yunxi: “…”
The two checked all the dry wells in the afternoon, but did not find any suppressed souls.
"You go about your business. I'm going to set up a fortune-telling stall." Jiang Yunxi said to Zhan Beiyuan. The number of dry wells counted by his people would not be wrong, but it was inevitable that some people had secretly dug wells at home, which they could not count.
"Are you short of money?" Zhan Beiyuan asked.
Jiang Yunxi shook his head. "No, fortune-telling is a good deed for me."
Zhan Beiyuan: "..."
"Your Highness Prince Han." Suddenly, a gentle female voice sounded.
Jiang Yunxi looked in the direction of the voice and saw Lin Weiwei, the daughter of the Minister of War. If she hadn't come to him with her child that day, she would probably have become the Princess of Han.
"Miss Lin, is there something wrong?" Zhan Beiyuan looked indifferent. He did not feel any guilt about canceling the wedding that day. It was a pre-agreed deal.
Lin Weiwei's eyes were sore, and she chuckled softly, "When you see the prince, you should come over and say hello."
After he had someone send her back home that night, she cried bitterly. She lay sick in bed for the next few days and had no interest in anything. She wanted to cry whenever she thought of Zhan Beiyuan's handsome and cold face.
She was almost his princess.
Even if she was just a name without substance and was trapped in Prince Han's Mansion for her whole life, she would still be willing to do so.
"You don't have to say hello from now on." Zhan Beiyuan said coldly.
Lin Weiwei looked stunned, then bit her red lip. "Your Highness, are we going to be so unfamiliar with each other? We almost got married that night."
Zhan Beiyuan raised his eyebrows, his eyes cold, "We are not familiar with each other."
When they got married that day, it was just like the palace had one more woman to support. They would not have any more contact after that. This was something they had agreed on long ago.
Lin Weiwei's beautiful eyes were wide open, with a hurt expression on her face. Tears were almost falling, and she looked broken.
Jiang Yunxi didn't want to watch anymore, so she said, "You guys continue chatting, I'm leaving first."
"I will go with you." Zhan Beiyuan said coldly.
"I'm going to set up a stall. It's not on my way." Jiang Yunxi refused. If he went with her, Lin Weiwei would definitely regard her as a thorn in her side, even though she already was.
"If the king says it's on the way, then it's on the way." Zhan Beiyuan said forcefully.
