Cheng An, who was hiding nearby, stuck his head out and searched anxiously for Jiang Ling. He happened to see Jiang Ling fall beside Zhou Jingan's horse. The anxiety on his face gradually dissipated and turned into helplessness.
She was silent for a moment, then asked Xiao Bing beside her: "Did your young lady's fall seem a little fake?"
Xiao Bing said that he couldn't talk about the lady without permission, but he really wanted to nod.
Zhou Jing'an had good hearing and heard someone shouting for help from a distance. When he turned around, he saw Jiang Ling being attacked by a man in black. He staggered and fell, his little face pale and his eyes full of fear.
He paused for a moment, then quickly jumped off his horse and protected Jiang Ling, kicking the man in black to the ground again before he could get up.
Ye Song and Ye Bai also drew their swords and came over to support Xiao Jia and Xiao Yi.
Xiaojia and Xiaoyi saw from the corner of their eyes that Zhou Jing'an was protecting their young lady, and they breathed a sigh of relief instantly. Then they pretended to be defeated by the man in black and retreated back to Jiang Ling, blocking her and standing in a row with Ye Song and Ye Bai.
The two nervously asked her how she was, "Miss, are you okay?"
When Jiang Ling saw Zhou Jing'an, she was stunned for a moment and then she breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had found a safe haven.
Because of the tension just now, tears gradually rose in his eyes after he relaxed all of a sudden.
Her hair was a little loose because of her escape, and the long, thin tassels on the pair of magnolia tassel hairpins were shaking constantly, colliding with each other and making a tinkling sound like mountain springs. Her crescent-white sleeves were also stained with dirt.
Jiang Ling's eyes were misty, and she looked like she was trying hard to be strong and not cry. Her voice was low and choked with sobs as she looked up at her: "Mr. Zhou."
What a poor little thing.
Zhou Jing'an just glanced at her, and when he heard her weakly call him Master Zhou, his heart trembled uncontrollably, and he even felt a little distressed.
There was a difference between men and women, so it was inconvenient for him to help her. He could only bend down and said softly, "Miss Jiang, get up first. What happened?"
Jiang Ling stood up and looked at the men in black who had been controlled by Zhou Jing'an's men. He found that Shen Qingru had taken advantage of the chaos and had no idea where to hide.
Little guy, you run away pretty fast.
"Xiao An'an and I were riding in a carriage to Linglongzhai, but we encountered twenty men in black on the way. We fled separately, intending to call for help and then report to the authorities. Unexpectedly, we ran into Master Zhou."
At this time, Cheng An ran over in another direction and hugged Jiang Ling with a worried look on his face.
Following them were her personal maid and Zizhen.
Originally, several people were running towards Ronghua Street together. Zizhen insisted on following Jiang Ling no matter what, and it was Xiao Bing who used his hidden strength to pull her back.
"Miss, you scared me to death." Zizhen looked her up and down with red eyes.
Zhou Jing'an said gently, "Miss Jiang and Miss Cheng, don't be afraid. If you don't mind, go and rest in the carriage for a while. I will take you back to the mansion."
Then he instructed Ye Song and Ye Bai, "Help Miss Jiang's guards send the person to Jingzhao Prefecture." His eyes were slightly stern, "Be careful not to let anyone commit suicide by taking poison like last time."
"Yes, we obey your command." The two men responded.
Zhou Huanan had just watched the show through the window in the carriage for half a day. Although she didn't like Jiang Ling and her friends very much, human lives were at stake, so she would not lose her temper at this time.
She said coldly, "Come up."
Jiang Ling and Cheng An thanked Zhou Jing'an and got on the carriage. Only after entering did Jiang Ling see Zhou Huan'an's appearance clearly.
Her eyebrows and eyes are 80% similar to Zhou Jing'an, with a high nose bridge, a straight nose tip, clear lip lines, obvious lip peaks, and a pointed chin. Overall, she looks gorgeous without losing her heroic spirit.
Zhou Jing'an's mother, Xia Zhixian, and Prime Minister Zhou Huaixin were very affectionate and had three children.
The eldest daughter, Zhou Ning'an, is the current queen.
The eldest son, Zhou Jing'an, was only nineteen years old. He was a man of both civil and military talents, and was hailed by the people of the Dagan Dynasty as a peerless nobleman. He was fully capable of inheriting the mantle of Prime Minister. In other words, he was someone else's child.
The youngest daughter, Zhou Huan'an, is one year younger than Jiang Ling, that is, fifteen years old. She just turned 15 this year. She is proud, kind and upright by nature. She does not learn needlework and is only obsessed with swordplay.
Zhou Huaixin and Xia Zhixian were a harmonious couple with deep love for each other. They never took concubines in their lives. They gave birth to three children together, and each of them was an outstanding child.
Zhou Huanan looked at Jiang Ling who was sitting quietly beside her, feeling a little puzzled.
Last time I heard that there was an incident at the chrysanthemum viewing banquet hosted by Chen Lianyi, and Jiang Ling became timid and quiet, which was unusual for her. I didn't expect it to be true. It was a pity that she had other things to do at that time and didn't go.
But Jiang Ling and her don't get along well.
Previously, Jiang Ling approached her because he liked her brother, and always gave her gifts to please her. However, she couldn't stand Jiang Ling's provocative behavior. If he really liked her brother, he should fight for it openly. Always using tricks would make people look down on him.
So after her repeated rejections, Jiang Ling gradually stopped trying to please her and even went against her in a subtle way.
She disliked Jiang Ling even more.
But she didn't expect Jiang Ling to actually change his ways? He stopped beating around the bush and stabbed her?
At this time, Jiang Ling also thought of the "love, hate and vengeance" between her original body and Zhou Huanan.
How to say it.
All I can say is that I can’t please my future sister-in-law, but I can’t offend others either.
The original body's little head is really...
The carriage rumbled as it headed towards Prince Jingnan's mansion. Jiang Ling kept her head down and said nothing. She couldn't afford to offend Zhou Huanan, so it was better for her to keep quiet.
Zhou Jing'an led the way in front of the carriage, but his heart was not at peace.
Was it Shen Qingru who did this again?
He frowned slightly. Does Shen Qingru really want to kill Jiang Ling?
He listened attentively. The carriage was very quiet.
Zhou Jing'an exuded a cold aura, and he must have frightened her again.
Tears welled up in her eyes as soon as she saw him. She had been so stubborn and threatened Shen Qingru that she was not someone to be bullied. She had been so brave and tried to find a way to escape even when being chased. But in front of him, she looked relieved and aggrieved.
The last time we investigated the murder case, we spent a long time investigating it, but we didn't find any clues at all.
Are these men in black assassins again this time?
Zhou Jing'an was just thinking about it when Ye Song came hurriedly to report, "Sir, those men in black are dead."
"What?" His eyes narrowed.
Ye Song was also a little angry: "This time it wasn't poison, but a silver needle that came from somewhere nearby. The force was precise and it pierced through several people's temples directly. However, the blood that came out was black, it seems that the silver needle was poisonous."
