"Between you and me, why do we need words of thanks?"
Looking at Jiang Ranli who bowed to him and thanked him, Yinzhen felt that the distance between him and her seemed thousands of miles away, and a hint of bitterness unconsciously revealed in his voice.
His words startled Jiang Ranli, and she immediately said, "The Fourth Master is your elder brother, and he's very busy with work. It's really inappropriate for me to ask you to go in person for today's matter."
As early as when she knew about Yinzhen's feelings for her, Jiang Ranli rejected him directly. She didn't have any good qualities except for one thing: if she liked someone, she would admit it, and if she didn't like someone, she would tell the other person directly that she didn't like him, so as to avoid misleading others and causing many misunderstandings.
Yinzhen stood with his hands behind his back, looking indifferently at Jiang Ranli who kept reminding him that he was his brother.
Jiang Ranli felt uneasy when he looked at her, but she didn't know what to say. The relationship between them became more and more complicated the more they talked, so she simply lowered her eyes and remained silent.
Seeing this, Jiang Fan walked to Jiang Ranli's side unnoticed, and his tall figure blocked Yinzhen's sight.
"Fourth Master, you have been here for a long time, but you have been busy with Guoguo's affairs and haven't even had a sip of hot tea. Let's go to the teahouse. I got some good tea on the way back to Beijing. How about you try it?" Jiang Fan used the excuse of tasting tea to leave Yinzhen.
Yinzhen looked at Jiang Fan who was standing in front of Jiang Ranli, and then nodded.
Jiang Fan was delighted when he saw this and quickly made a gesture of invitation, "Fourth Master, please come this way."
Yinzhen walked out of the house with Jiang Fan, but stopped when he passed by Jiang Ranli, "Old Nine is on business in Tianjin now. If you have anything, you can come to me."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ranli was silent for a while and said, "Thank you for your concern, Fourth Master."
Hearing her distant voice, Yinzhen's heart tightened, and a trace of pain appeared on his handsome face. His throat moved, and he calmed his mind and spoke again, "Okay."
After saying the word "OK", he walked away. Jiang Ranli stood there, his mind full of thoughts.
As for Yinzhen, she tried her best to draw a clear line between herself and him. She would not be with him, so she would not give him any hope. However, he seemed not to understand her intention.
"Autumn Butterfly".
After sorting out his thoughts, Jiang Ranli called Qiu Die to the yard.
"Concubine, do you have any instructions?" Qiu Die asked.
"How did the Fourth Master know that Guoguo was poisoned?" Jiang Ranli asked back.
The poisoning of Little Meatball happened suddenly, and after discovering that Little Meatball was poisoned, Jiang Ranli asked everyone to keep the news secret. Under such circumstances, Yinzhen knew about it. Apart from Qiu Die, Dongxue and others who told him about it, Jiang Ranli could not think of any other reason.
Qiu Die shook her head like a rattle and explained anxiously, "Madam Concubine, I swear that it was not me who told the Fourth Master about this matter. Please understand clearly, Madam Concubine."
"Not you? Then who is it? Dongxue? Wen Chong? Wen Hao?" Jiang Ranli named the people around Yinzhen one by one.
Qiu Die shook her head again and said, "Please understand, Madam Concubine, we really did not tell the Fourth Master about the Fifth Princess."
"It's definitely not her."
Just as Jiang Ranli was about to say something, a cold and indifferent voice came from behind him.
Turning around, I saw Yinzhen appear there at some point.
Why is he back? Didn’t Ah Fan go to taste tea with him?
Jiang Ranli was full of doubts.
"An old friend of Lord Shumulu learned that Jiang Fan had returned and came to visit him today." Seeing the confusion in Jiang Ranli's heart, Yinzhen began to explain.
