Jiang Ranli had already guessed their purpose and had already thought of how to answer, so he said directly, "Although Jiu Ye protects me, she is indeed the highest-ranking person in the mansion now, and I can't help you in any way. Since she asked you to go to pay your respects in the morning and evening, just go ahead."
Wanyan, Lang and others came to ask Jiang Ranli, not to ask whether Jiang Ranli would go to pay his respects to Naren. They knew that Jiang Ranli would not go, so the question they asked was whether they would go or not.
In the past, when Dong E was not around and there was no concubine in the mansion, Jiang Ranli, the concubine, had the highest rank and was doted on by Yinzhen. Despite this, she disliked trouble and never let anyone in the mansion go to pay their respects to her. Over time, Wanyan, Lang and others got used to this relaxed and comfortable life. Now that Naren suddenly married into the mansion and had such an arrogant and domineering personality, they couldn't adapt at all.
They wanted to continue living the same relaxed and comfortable life with Jiang Ranli as before, but they were helpless because of their low status and could not choose the life they wanted. So they came to Jiang Ranli, hoping to hear Jiang Ranli say that he would not let them go to pay their respects, but they were disappointed.
Although Jiang Ranli disliked Naren's personality, she was a concubine after all. If she said something, no one in the mansion would obey her, and she might cause trouble. Therefore, Jiang Ranli was helpless and could only let Wanyan, Lang and others obey her.
Wanyan, Lang and others did not get the answer they wanted, and seeing that Jiang Ranli was not in high spirits, they had to get up and leave.
Watching them leave, Jiang Ranli continued to sit there waiting for news about Yin'er and Sidai.
Gradually, the night deepened. The weather in October was fine during the day, but a little cold at night. Jiang Ranli sat for too long, so he stood up and walked into the yard. The sky was full of stars against the bright moonlight, and the silver light sprinkled in the yard, making it look as if it was coated with a layer of silver.
However, in this silver courtyard, Jiang Ranli suddenly saw a sneaky black shadow.
"Who?" She immediately became alert and looked coldly at the location of the black shadow.
Qiudie and Dongxue also followed her gaze and immediately rushed over with their men.
In this mansion, someone actually sneaked into Yin'er's yard. We really can't take it lightly.
Following the actions of Qiudie and Dongxue, the guards in the yard also rushed over. The black shadow wanted to run away, but how could he resist the dozens of Yinzhen's personal guards.
Soon, the black shadow was caught and brought before Jiang Ranli.
Looking at the black shadow, Jiang Ranli's eyes flashed with a cold light. The black shadow was none other than Naren's dowry guard.
"Why are you here?" Jiang Ranli's voice was as cold as a knife, making people shudder.
Linfengyuan is Yin'er's residence and the most important and confidential place in the mansion. No one can enter or leave here at will without the permission of Yin'er or Jiang Ranli. But now, Naren's dowry guards actually evaded the guards guarding around Linfengyuan and sneaked into the courtyard.
If Jiang Ranli hadn't discovered it by accident, if he had suddenly attacked, she would have been killed in a matter of minutes.
Even though the dowry guard was caught, he did not show any fear. His cold and resolute eyes looked straight into the distance, and his lips were tightly pursed.
"Even if you don't say it, I can guess it," Jiang Ranli curled his lips slightly, glanced at the man, and said, "It was the concubine who asked you to come to see if the Ninth Master is here, or, whose life was sent to this yard?"
