Chapter 219 Ranran has high hopes for you!
"It's not some kind of Gu worm, Sister Jiang, please don't be afraid."
Song Zhuran did not lie to Jiang Wanru. Not only was she good at ventriloquism, but she could also train various animals, including flies and bees, to be very obedient.
However, there was nothing inside Jiang Wanru's body; she was just playing around.
To deal with her, we don't need to resort to the underhanded methods of the Grand Princess.
In this capital city, killing someone she wanted was an easy task.
"What...what do you want me to do?" Jiang Wanru was so frightened that she seemed to have lost her soul, asking mechanically, her voice trembling.
“Nothing,” Song Zhuran said, “just that you continue to target Princess Langya.”
"Also, stay away from my master." Song Zhuran's last sentence was full of possessiveness and domineering.
Then she immediately regained her composure and asked, "How is it? Does Second Sister Jiang understand?"
"I...I understand."
Jiang Wanru originally wanted to use Pei Anqing to get in touch with the Emperor.
Unexpectedly, this youngest daughter of the Song family, whom I had never heard of or seen before, actually called that person "master".
There also seems to be a different kind of feeling.
"Alright." Song Zhuran clapped her hands and said somewhat boredly, "Second Sister Jiang, you should go back quickly."
"Sister Jiang, oh right, I think it should be your mother-in-law, she must be feeling quite sad right now."
Song Zhuran said confidently that her people have never made a mistake.
The little girl with the birthmark should be where she is by now.
"Ugh, how boring."
Without rivals, everyone acts like an idiot; how could such a life be boring?
"Knock knock knock!"
Suddenly someone knocked on the door in a rhythmic pattern, with two soft knocks followed by one loud one.
"Come in," Song Zhuran said calmly.
A woman dressed in Western Region clothing entered and whispered something in Song Zhuran's ear.
Song Zhuran's lips curled up more and more.
"I understand, you can go now, sister," Song Zhuran said to the person who came in to report the news.
The woman respectfully withdrew.
Song Zhuran then said to Jiang Wanru with a playful expression, "This Sister Jiang is really interesting."
"I haven't met such an interesting opponent in a long time. She actually saw through my plan in advance and managed to escape unscathed."
The woman just reported that the Princess of Langya was ambushed on her way back, but the palace's secret guards suddenly emerged.
Later, the people she sent followed them to the gate of the Prince's mansion, but the carriage was empty.
The Princess of Langya and the others have disappeared.
"It's really interesting to be able to disappear in public without anyone noticing."
Song Zhuran became more and more excited as she thought about it.
Jiang Wanru stood behind, not daring to utter a word, for fear of being seen by Song Zhuran.
But fate had other plans. Just when she thought of it, Song Zhuran walked up to her and said, "Second Sister Jiang, your mother-in-law is missing."
"We even encountered assassins on the way. Shouldn't you be in a hurry to go and find them?"
“Yes… I will go right away,” Jiang Wanru said.
"Does Second Sister Jiang know what to do after we find it?"
Jiang Wanru was stunned for a moment, "Tell Sister Song... and then bring the crabapple to Sister Song."
"Wow, Sister Jiang is so smart."
"Ranran believes in you."
Jiang Wanru said timidly, "Then I will go ahead."
Song Zhuran tilted her head, smiled, and waved her hand.
As Jiang Wanru stepped out of the house, she felt a chill run down her back. She reached out and touched it, finding her entire back soaked in cold sweat.
This Song Zhuran is a thousand times, ten thousand times more terrifying than the Grand Princess.
Unexpectedly, she was also one of the Emperor's people. Pei Anqing and the Grand Princess were both backed by the Emperor.
But the Emperor was using and cooperating with Pei Anqing and the Grand Princess, yet Song Zhuran actually called him "Master".
Jiang Wanru walked in a daze, sometimes happy that her poison was cured and she would no longer be threatened by the Grand Princess, and sometimes afraid.
This Song Zhuran is a devil.
......
Jiang Wanning and the others bypassed the Prince's Mansion and went directly to the Shen Mansion.
Shen Zhao happened to be at home.
Despite being heavily pregnant, Mrs. Wang quickly ushered the group inside.
"Auntie, I'm sorry to trouble you," Jiang Wanning said. Actually, she had planned to go to the Marquis's residence, but its location was not suitable for her to visit at this time.
"What are you saying, child?" Wang said softly. "You all stay here comfortably, and just let me know if you need anything."
"This Shen Mansion isn't a place anyone can just walk into."
"If it's Ning, you can stay here."
Although Jiang Wan Ning agreed, Wang Shi was about to give birth and could not afford any further accidents.
Fortunately, Pei Yanchuan will arrive soon. Once he finds out the real Tuoba Ling'er, this place will be safe.
At that time, she had already asked Peony to pass on the identity of the person with the plum blossom birthmark that she had learned about on the carriage to Pei Yanchuan. Now that they were only looking for women, the scope was narrowed down by more than half, which should be faster.
Once those people realize they've fallen into a trap, they'll definitely come looking for them very soon.
It all comes down to who gets to the Shen Mansion the fastest.
"But what exactly is the purpose of this banquet?" Shen Zhao asked.
He naturally knew that this banquet was not just about exchanges with foreign countries, but few people in the court knew about it.
Shen Ruzhi glanced at Jiang Wanning, who nodded slightly. "We're all family here. Things are almost over, so there's no harm in talking about it."
Shen Ruzhi then explained the whole story of looking for someone.
Shen Zhao took a sip of tea with a sullen face. "You said that person had a plum blossom birthmark on their lower back?"
"good."
"She was a girl, about sixteen or seventeen years old."
"To be precise, she should be sixteen years old, and she'll be seventeen in two months," Tuoba Yan'er said. "When she lost it, she was still wearing a red woven rope on her hand."
"It looks very ordinary, but my aunt specially asked for it."
Shen Zhao's hand trembled, and the tea spilled out, wetting his sleeves. Wang quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe it off.
"It's alright." Shen Zhao raised his hand to stop him.
"No, you found it, why didn't you mention this?"
“That thing doesn’t look worth much, but people take it seriously.”
"Then you won't say whether you're male or female."
"It's not that I'm afraid of making it too obvious. Do you know who these people are?" Tuoba Yan'er said. "Although I trust you."
"But that doesn't mean my aunt believes it, and the person she shares an apartment with isn't a good person either."
"If he finds out, he will definitely threaten his aunt to do things for him."
"Then why did you choose to cooperate with that person? Isn't that incredibly stupid and insane?"
"Zhizhi, you mustn't be rude," Shen Zhao reprimanded softly.
Shen Ruzhi pursed her lips and remained silent.
"If I'm not mistaken, it was your Western Xia's Empress who wanted to stir up this mess and then come looking for it herself."
"There must be many people from the Western Regions who were sent by you to this banquet."
“You’re so clever,” Tuoba Yan’er said. “However, I did come to this banquet because someone informed me of the Prince of Jin.”
"This princess thought it would be perfect to use this excuse."
