Chapter 199 Xie Jing anxiously climbed over the wall to see her
With them around, he felt more at ease.
It was still snowing outside, and Jiang Youning walked into the kitchen with a smile on her face.
Lady Wang saw Jiang Youning coming back with a smile, and asked curiously, "Is he so happy upstairs?"
Jiang Youning smiled and said, "He drank all the chicken soup I stewed."
Lady Wang couldn't help laughing when she heard it, "What, what's the big deal about me being so sad? Just like that? Look how happy you are."
Jiang Youning's almond eyes curved, "Madam Wang, you don't understand this, right? It means he likes the soup I stewed, and if he's happy, the princess is happy, and if she's happy, maybe I'll raise her wages."
Lady Wang thought it made sense.
"You're right. When the masters are happy, they can just give us something as a reward, which is enough to provide us with money for one or two years. Your idea is very good."
Jiang Youning said, "Madam Wang is right."
Madam Wang asked curiously, "You look very young, but your cooking skills are so good? Where did you learn cooking?"
Jiang Youning smiled and said, "I have loved delicious food since I was a child. No matter what others make, I will learn what I like to eat. That's why I have many masters all over the world."
Jiang Youning was not bragging at all. In her family, there are young chefs, bakers, pastry chefs, etc. In addition, with the development of modern Internet, it is very easy to make snow. It is not an exaggeration to say that she has masters all over the world.
Madam Wang looked at him with admiration, "No wonder you are so good, I also learned from several masters, but I don't know as much as you do."
Jiang Youning praised, "Madam Wang is already very good, many of what Madam Wang knows, I don't know yet, and Madam Wang is young and has become a manager, I admire you very much."
Madam Wang's vanity was satisfied after hearing this, "No, you just need to endure for a few more years."
Jiang Youning chatted with Madam Wang for a while, ate some melon seeds, and then prepared dinner.
She was washing the ingredients while looking forward to meeting Xie Jing again.
I heard that Xie Jing was seriously injured, and today I saw that his face didn't look very good, and I don't know how his injury is.
Jiang Youning was still the one who delivered dinner, but with the princess there, it was even harder for her to see Xie Jing.
As usual, she stood outside the door. It was cold outside, and she didn't know what they were talking about.
Could it be that the princess liked Xie Jing?
Otherwise, why would she be so nice to Xie Jing?
As the saying goes, if someone is too attentive for no reason, he is either a prostitute or a thief!
Jiang Youning felt uncomfortable when she thought of Xie Jing being in the same room with another woman.
Xie Jing originally wanted to meet Jiang Youning when she delivered the meal, but it just happened that the princess came at this time. In order not to arouse the princess' suspicion, he could only suppress the urge to see her.
In the kitchen, Madam Wang was directing the cooks to clean up the kitchen.
Chef Li was cleaning the table while looking at Madam Wang who was standing beside her. When no one was around, she said seriously, "Madam Wang, the new cook is so scheming."
Madam Wang looked at her in confusion, "What do you mean?"
Chef Li said, "Madam Wang, you see, it was you who was supposed to deliver the meals, but the new cook wanted to deliver them. What do you think she wants? The princess sees her delivering the meals every day, and she cooks according to the guests' wishes. How will the princess remember you then?"
Madam Wang was stunned when she heard this.
Chef Li continued, "She works so hard to please the princess. When she is promoted to be a lady, what does it have to do with you, Madam Wang? Do you think she is very scheming?"
Madam Wang thought back to the past few days and realized that Jiang Youning was indeed too enthusiastic. Could it be that she wanted to take her place?
She cooks so delicious meals and often appears in front of the princess. It is normal for the princess to promote her when she is happy.
Chef Li sighed, "She is so young, but she is so scheming. Madam Wang is afraid that she cannot beat her."
Madam Wang pursed her lips when she heard this. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that what Madam Li said made sense.
Jiang Youning felt a little disappointed that she didn't see Xie Jing. She walked into the kitchen and saw Madam Wang. She exclaimed, "
Madam Wang, haven't you gone back to rest yet?"
Madam Wang glanced at Jiang Youning and said perfunctorily, "I'll go back to rest soon."
Then she walked out of the kitchen.
Jiang Youning was in a bad mood and didn't notice that Madam Wang was wrong. She sighed and was so close to Xie Jing that she couldn't even talk. It was too miserable.
In the evening, Yuanbao came to the princess's mansion to find Jiang Youning as agreed. This time, he brought another ointment, which was also for the treatment of frostbite.
It was late at night and the wind outside the house was like the howling of ghosts and wolves.
Jiang Youning huddled in the corner waiting for Yuanbao, and saw his figure walking sturdily through the corridor and running towards her.
The first words Yuanbao said were, "Miss, stretch out your hand."
He had been thinking about Jiang Youning's red and swollen hands all day, so he went to several clinics during the day and brought back very effective ointments.
As soon as Jiang Youning saw him, she remembered and said, "Yuanbao, I saw the person inside, it was Xie Jing, I saw him."
Yuanbao's eyes froze when he heard this. He had always hoped to find Xie Jing as soon as possible so that Jiang Youning could get out, but when he found him, he felt a little disappointed.
"It's good that you found him,
just stretch out your hand first." Jiang Youning remembered her hand, and she stretched it out in front of him.
Yuanbao took out the ointment he had prepared in advance, applied it on her hand, and then spread it evenly.
Jiang Youning sighed, "We are so close, but it is so difficult for me to talk to him."
Yuanbao comforted, "Don't worry, young lady, this is only temporary. I will bring Xie Jing out soon."
Jiang Youning also felt that this was only temporary. Thinking of her elder brother, "You go find them first and let them know that I found Xie Jing."
Yuanbao said, "Well, I will find them when I get back. Don't worry."
Jiang Youning knew that Yuanbao was very efficient, so she was not worried.
"Yuanbao, do you think the princess likes Xie Jing? She looks at him so seriously."
Yuanbao paused, raised his head and looked at Jiang Youning, "I guess so, but young lady, don't act rashly. The princess is not a good person."
"I know. When I saw Xie Jing, I resisted the urge to recognize him. Xie Jing may have known the princess's intention and did not recognize me."
Jiang Youning recalled Xie Jing's behavior today. He was so smart and boasted that he saw something.
"It's right to do this. If the princess knew about your relationship, you would be in danger." Yuanbao said very seriously.
Jiang Youning said, "I know. I will be careful. You don't have to worry."
Yuanbao stared at Jiang Youning for a long time before leaving the princess's mansion.
After returning, Yuanbao sent two groups of people to find Jiang Qibai and Xiao Yu.
He could not leave the capital for the time being.
The next day, after Jiang Youning prepared the meal, she was about to deliver it when she was stopped by Wang Chu's cook.
"You've been delivering food for me these past few days, and I feel bad about it. From today on, I'll do it myself."
Jiang Youning smiled and said, "Madam Wang, isn't it just a meal? It's not a big deal, don't think too much." Madam Wang
said, "That being said, it's better for me to deliver it myself."
Madam Wang didn't wait for Jiang Youning to say anything, and walked out with the lunch box.
Jiang Youning looked at Madam Wang's back as she left, and she always felt that Madam Wang's attitude towards her seemed to have changed, not as friendly as before.
What's going on?
In the afternoon, when she had nothing to do, she sat in a corner eating melon seeds, and she saw that Madam Wang didn't come over to eat melon seeds and chat with her, but walked out.
Seeing this, Chef Li came over and said with a smile, "Madam Wang, is she ignoring you?"
Jiang Youning turned her head and glanced at Chef Li. She was two years younger than Madam Wang, and her skin was a little rough from doing rough work. She looked a little older than her peers. Looking
at the smiling Chef Li, "Yes, what's wrong?"
Chef Li smiled and said, "You cook so
deliciously, it threatens her position. She finally became a lady, you are better than her, and the princess likes you, so she is jealous."
Jiang Youning stared at Chef Li for a while after hearing this. No wonder Madam Wang suddenly changed her attitude towards her. It turned out that she was afraid that she would take her position.
"How did you know?"
Chef Li whispered, "Of course Madam Wang told you, otherwise how would I know? I saw that you were young and innocent, and you didn't even know that Madam Wang had tricked you."
Jiang Youning stared at Chef Li for a while, silently eating melon seeds.
Chef Li said again, "Be careful, if it was someone else, I wouldn't have warned you."
After Chef Li finished speaking, she stood up and left.
Jiang Youning continued to eat melon seeds.
Jiang Qibai and Xue Yi searched nearby for a long time, but found nothing.
"Where is Xie Jing?"
Xue Yi looked back at Jiang Qibai and said, "It's really hard to find someone in such a huge crowd. I wonder if the general is safe or in danger now."
Jiang Qibai said, "My poor sister has been looking for her and has suffered so much."
Xue Yi felt sorry for his sister. It was really hard for a woman to travel through mountains and rivers.
"If the general knew that his wife had gone through so much hardship to find him, he would definitely feel sorry for her."
Jiang Qibai looked at Xue Yi and smiled, "What's the use of feeling sorry for her? You have to cherish my sister and pamper her, otherwise I can't forgive her."
Xue Yi said affirmatively, "The general will."
Jiang Qibai felt that Xue Yi's words were somewhat credible.
"Let's keep looking."
After a day of searching, he found nothing. Every time he went out, he was full of expectations, but when he came back, he was disappointed.
Xue Yi and Jiang Qibai returned to the inn and asked the waiter to send wine and food to the guest room.
At the dinner table, the two of them had been searching for a whole day and were indeed a little hungry. They had been eating and living together for a while and there was no restraint .
Halfway through the meal, Jiang Qibai suddenly stopped eating and said with some worry: "I don't know how my sister is now? She must be crazy after searching for so many days and still can't find Xie Jing."
Xue Yi comforted him: "Don't think too much, maybe the lady already has a clue."
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
When he went out, Xue Yi was very alert. He frowned and looked at the door, asking, "Who is it?"
The waiter's voice came from outside, "Sir, someone is looking for you."
Xue Yi said to Jiang Qibai, "I'll go check it out."
Jiang Qibai nodded, "Okay, be careful."
Xue Yi nodded, then got up and walked to the door. After he was ready, he opened the door and saw the waiter standing at the door, and there was another person standing behind him.
The person was half a head taller than the waiter, and was more burly than the waiter. He looked very unfamiliar.
The waiter smiled and said, "Sir, this is the one who wants to see you."
Xue Yi looked at the man behind the waiter again and asked, "Who are you?"
Changfeng stepped forward and said, "I am Changfeng, and I am here on behalf of my master to inform Master Xue that the madam has found the whereabouts of the general and asked Master Xue and Master Lu to go to Longfu Inn."
Xue Yi was surprised to hear that. Jiang Youning really found the general. This is great.
"Who is your master?"
Changfeng said, "My master has been following the madam."
Always following Jiang Youning?
Xue Yi suddenly remembered Yuanbao. He had checked his identity at the time but found nothing. He didn't expect that he had such a great background.
"I know. I will go there with Master Lu right away."
"I'm leaving." Changfeng said and strode away.
Xue Yi closed the door, couldn't suppress his excitement and strode to the table, he looked up at Jiang Qibai, "Madam has found the general, let's hurry over there."
Jiang Qibai was a little surprised to hear that, "That's great, as long as he's found him, sister doesn't have to worry so much." Xue Yi
said
, "Let's eat first and then hurry on our way."
"Okay." Jiang Qibai no longer had any worries and he had an appetite.
After the two finished their meal, they packed up and left the inn.
*
The princess was not here today, and Xie Jing wanted to take advantage of Jiang Youning's visit to deliver the meal to see her. It would be great if he could talk to her.
However, the one who delivered the meal today was not Jiang Youning, but a woman he did not know.
He was puzzled, but he did not ask. He
was a little absent-minded while eating.
He thought Jiang Youning would come to deliver dinner, but he still did not see the figure that Jiang Youning said, which made him worried.
After dinner, Xie Jing stood in front of the window, looked at the people outside, and left with the lunch box.
Could it be that An Ning was in trouble?
Thinking of this, the hands behind his back could not help but clenched.
In the end, he still couldn't help but climb out the window when Aunt Chen was not paying attention.
There were many guards outside, and he was not sure he could climb over the wall without being noticed by them, so he wanted to give it a try.
Xie Jing came to the corner of the wall, and when they changed shifts, he took a deep breath and climbed over the wall. During
these days of recuperation, he often observed the movements of Yuanzi, and he knew exactly when they changed shifts.
The moment he took a deep breath, he only felt that his breath was unstable, as if something was blocked in his chest.
When he landed, he held on to the wall to stabilize himself.
He glanced outside the yard, and the security was not as strict as inside the yard.
After adjusting his internal breath, Xie Jing began to look for the location of the kitchen.
The meals were always delivered hot. It would be winter, and the kitchen should not be far from here.
After searching for a while, Xie Jing smelled the fragrance of food. As a martial artist, his hearing and sense of smell were more sensitive than those of ordinary people.
He avoided the servants in the princess's mansion and followed the smell all the way.
After walking for a while, he saw ginger and garlic hanging at the door. It must be the kitchen.
He walked a few steps forward and saw a gray figure in the corner. She was wearing a gray cloth on her head, the same as what Jiang Youning wore the day before.
