When I returned home from the Taoist temple, it was already dark. I ate quickly and lay down to rest.
The next day, after handing over the matter of renting a house to Mai Wu, Jiang Tuantuan and his group returned to Baiyang County. The results were about to be released.
The results were about to be released, and the two should have been very nervous, but unexpectedly, they were calm and composed, while Jiang Tuantuan seemed nervous instead.
Jiang An said: "Sister, my fate is in my own hands, so I'll just go with the flow."
He doesn't care whether his grades are good or bad. He just likes painting, and his goal is to become the best painter in the country.
I was forced to take the exam.
Fortunately, Jiang An passed the exam by ranking last, while Jiang Li's result was slightly better, ranking in the lower middle class.
Although the ranking was not very good, the goal was to pass the exam. It was a double happiness. Everyone happily ran to the restaurant for dinner and came out with their bulging bellies.
They returned to the capital with the good news, but pain was still waiting for them. Since they passed the provincial school examination, Jiang Dafeng planned to let them directly take the Imperial College examination in the spring of next year.
Jiang An suffered a hard time in the next six months. He begged if he could participate the year after next, but was ruthlessly rejected by Jiang Dafeng.
Jiang Tuantuan was gloating on the side.
It was time to return to the capital, so Jiang Tuantuan wrote a letter to Li Jingchen in advance, telling him that she would be home in three days.
Because Jiang Tuantuan did not run down to look for species along the way, the journey was very fast. It would have taken three days, but we arrived in two days.
However, it was already dark when we arrived in the capital.
After sitting in the carriage for two days, Jiang Tuantuan was extremely tired. She held Yubao's little hand and walked slowly on the street towards home.
As I was walking, I saw a familiar figure. With the help of the lights from the shop, I could see clearly that it was Li Jingchen. He was standing in front of the dim sum shop.
Looking closely, he saw walnut cookies in his hand. Jiang Tuantuan felt very happy and thought to himself, Li Jingchen must have calculated the time of our return and bought my favorite food in advance.
Just as she was about to sneak up from behind and scare him, she saw two arms extending from Li Jingchen's waist, and he was actually hugging another woman!
Yubao looked at this scene and pointed at his father. Jiang Tuantuan quickly picked up Yubao, covered his mouth, and hid in the crowd. She wanted to see what Li Jingchen was going to do.
I haven't been home for more than half a month, and my heart is already wandering.
I saw that the woman kept hugging Li Jingchen and let go after a while. Because of the distance, I couldn't hear what they were talking about. I only knew that Li Jingchen gave the walnut cakes he bought to the woman before leaving.
Jiang Tuantuan was looking at the woman's smug smile from a distance and was furious. Fortunately, she walked back by herself, otherwise she would not have known about this.
Jiang Tuantuan was very angry and didn't want to go home. She took Yubao directly to the post station. When she got home, she would see Li Jingchen's face. Now she felt nauseous whenever she saw her.
Jiang Dafeng was waiting at home early because he could ride a horse-drawn carriage quickly. When he heard the door open, he thought it was Jiang Tuantuan, but it turned out to be Li Jingchen who came back.
Li Jingchen didn't expect Jiang Tuantuan and his group to arrive today. After a moment of hesitation, he immediately smiled and asked, "Why are you back today?"
Jiang Dafeng said, "We walked quickly this time. I didn't expect to arrive in just two days."
"Where's Tuantuan? Why can't I see her?"
Jiang Dafeng was suspicious. "We separated after entering the city. Tuantuan and Yubao wanted to walk back by themselves. Maybe they got hungry while walking and ate something on the street."
Li Jingchen suddenly felt uneasy, thinking something bad was about to happen. He hurriedly said, "I'll go look for them on the street now. It's late at night, and they're not safe."
But before he could go out, he heard someone knocking on the door. Thinking it was Tuan Tuan coming back, Li Jingchen opened the door in surprise, only to see a strange man.
The man said, "A woman named Jiang Tuantuan asked me to bring you a message. She said she's going to visit a friend tonight and won't be back."
"Which friend did she go to see?"
The man said, "I don't know about that. I'm just delivering the message."
After saying that, the man turned and left.
This uneasy premonition became stronger and stronger. Could it be that Jiang Tuantuan knew what happened tonight?
Jiang Dafeng saw Li Jingchen standing at the door in a daze and shouted, "Hurry back to the house to eat. Tuantuan may have missed her friends because she hasn't seen them for a long time. Don't worry about her."
Jiang Tuantuan ate dinner in the post station in a huff. Looking at his mother's serious expression, Yubao didn't dare to breathe and behaved very well the whole night.
Lying in bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep, she decided not to argue directly with Li Jingchen. After all, since this kind of thing happened the first time, there would definitely be a second time, so she had to be patient.
Find out who the woman is and divorce Li Jingchen.
I have made the decision. I will go home tomorrow and pretend nothing happened. I will rent a yard first.
After all, the house he lives in now was a gift from the emperor to Li Jingchen, not his own, so he still doesn't feel safe living in it.
The next morning, after breakfast, Jiang Tuantuan took Yubao's hand and went home.
When I arrived at the door of my house, I happened to meet Li Jingchen who was about to go out to work.
Jiang Tuantuan greeted him and exchanged a few words, looking no different from usual.
Still the same attitude and smile.
Li Jingchen breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he really missed his friends last night and went out to play with them.
But only Jiang Tuantuan knew how angry she was inside. If she said one more word, she would not be able to suppress her inner anger.
After handing Yubao to his mother, Jiang Tuantuan went out to Jiangyue Pavilion.
Seeing that the boss had come for the first time, Er Liu thought something had happened, but he didn't expect that he came to help find a yard.
Jiang Tuantuan pulled Erliu aside and said, "Please keep an eye out for a suitable small courtyard with one entrance these few days. It must be quiet. When you find one, let me know. This must be kept secret. Don't tell anyone, and don't rent it under my name."
Er Liu said he understood.
The next step is to carefully investigate who the woman was last night.
As far as she could remember, she saw the woman wearing a pink skirt that reached her chest. There would be records of those who came to Jiangyue Pavilion to buy skirts, so she could find out by checking the records.
Without even drinking a sip of water, Jiang Tuantuan rushed to Dachun and Cuiping's residence, and saw several children in the alley on the way.
Jiang Tuantuan remembered that these kids usually did things like passing messages or delivering things to earn a living, so it would be a good opportunity to ask them to help keep an eye on Li Jingchen.
Walking into the alley, Jiang Tuantuan called two children and gave them a hundred coins.
When the child saw so much money, his eyes widened and he quickly said respectfully, "Sir, what do you need us to do?"
Jiang Tuantuan said, "What I need you to do is very simple. Do you know Lieutenant General Li?"
The two children said, "We've seen him before."
"Do you remember what he looked like?"
The child said, "Yes, we have a very good memory."
