Chapter 268 Reading Countless People

Thinking of this, Ruan asked: "She was with her two cousins. Didn't the father-in-law see them?"

The eunuch, who lowered his head and couldn't see his face, shook his head: "I only saw the third lady lying on the stone table alone. There was not even a maid by her side. I was also worried about her safety."

Although the palace was full of children of officials and aristocratic families, they were also afraid that someone would dare to touch the younger sister of the Imperial Concubine, right? Ruan

had the same worry. She looked at her husband who was surrounded by his colleagues in the male guests in the distance. In the end, her worry about her daughter won over her concern, and she followed the eunuch out.

But she still remembered Jiang Xinyue's words and brought a group of servants she arranged with her.

"Father, my daughter..."

When they walked to a remote garden, Ruan didn't see Jiang Xinyan at all. When he turned around to ask, where was the eunuch?

Damn!

Ruan was about to leave, but before she left the garden, she was stopped by someone: "Where is Madam Jiang going?"

"Mr. Pei?"

Ruan frowned: "You tricked me here, what do you want to do?" Ruan

really couldn't imagine that a man who was old enough to be her son could have any dirty thoughts about her.

Could it be that he kidnapped Sister Yan and forced her to agree to their marriage?

Pei Zhishuo looked at Ruan with evil eyes, and his eyes were so hot that he seemed to see through her.

"You..."

Ruan's brows were more and more locked, and she couldn't help but put her hands in front of her chest: "Mr. Pei, if you have nothing to do, please get out of the way."

"Snap!"

The folding fan slammed shut, and Pei Zhishuo blocked her way: "Why is Madam Jiang so ruthless? When you were a dancer in the Prince of Ruyang's Palace, were you also such a chaste woman?" For

lowly dancers, as long as a nobleman took a fancy to them in the middle of dancing, they could touch and kiss them.

If the host agreed, they could sleep with each other and have a fleeting romance.

Pei Zhishuo didn't believe that Ruan had never been slept with before she redeemed herself.

She approached Ruan and sniffed her hair, only to find the fragrance was overwhelming: "Madam Jiang, you have seen so many people, it must be difficult to satisfy you. Minister Jiang is already that old, what's the point of being with him? Why don't you just follow me? I will let you experience the real happiness of being a woman, how about it? You..."

"Pa!"

"Disgusting!"

Ruan was so angry that she trembled and slapped Pei Zhishuo in the face. Who knew that after being slapped, he was not angry, but even more excited. He stared at Ruan with eager eyes: "Madam Jiang, I really like you so much, just follow me!"

"Ah!"

Jiang Xinyan turned her head suddenly: "Why do I seem to hear a scream?"

Jiang Yunxia also looked back, but heard no sound: "Are you too nervous and heard it wrong?"

Jiang Xinyan retorted immediately: "Who is nervous? I'm not nervous. Wait and see."

She held the arrow in her hand and aimed at the bronze pot three meters away. With a "swoosh", the arrow fell... outside the bronze pot.

Jiang Yuncai burst out laughing: "Sister Yan, you should practice more! My sister and I are not as good as you in poetry and singing, but when it comes to swordplay, you are no match for us."

There were several noble ladies around them who were on good terms with them, all joking: "So they are here to take revenge for last month's poetry festival. Sister Yan, you'd better be careful. Among us, Sister Yuncai is the most nervous."

Jiang Yuncai put her hands on her waist: "This is called training my sister Yan, what do you know?"

Jiang Yunxia also covered her mouth and laughed: "Your kung fu is so poor, stop embarrassing yourself! " It’s too late, sister Yue was right just now, you are a stingy person.”

Jiang Yuncai widened her eyes: “Sister, you haven’t… why are you so partial?”

Jiang Yunxia was startled, afraid that Jiang Yuncai, this fool, would say something she shouldn’t say, and quickly covered her mouth: “We have been out for a long time, go back quickly, don’t let aunt wait anxiously.”

She and Su Ruyue’s brother, Su Jia Erlang, are discussing marriage. The Su family is a third-rank official, and their family’s official position is only fifth-rank. Although the emperor has appointed him as a minister, who knows what he will be like after returning?

Although the Su family agreed to the marriage after considering the Royal Concubine, it was actually because the second son of the Su family and Jiang Yunxia fell in love with each other. After comprehensive consideration, Mrs. Su still wanted her son to marry a woman he liked and live happily together.

That's why Jiang Yuncai said that Jiang Yunxia had not married yet, but she was partial to Su Ruyue.

Her father had been gone for several months, and the marriage could only be finalized after he came back. If her sister had let everyone know about it now, I don't know how the Su family would look at her!

Fortunately, her sister shut up in time, otherwise Jiang Yunxia would have been talked about.

A group of charming little girls came in from outside the door, which was still quite conspicuous.

Jiang Xinyue had just turned around to ask Xiao Xiangzi about the whereabouts of the emperor when she saw her younger sister and two cousins ​​come in surrounded by noble ladies. She looked at the place where Ruan had just sat and asked in confusion: "Didn't mother go to the toilet? Why hasn't she come back yet?"

Shuang lowered her head: "Your Majesty, don't worry. The maids and eunuchs I arranged for you are all skilled in martial arts. They are just pretending to be ordinary servants. If anyone dares to do something improper to your Majesty, it will be the people with bad intentions who will be blamed."

Jiang Xinyue nodded: "The emperor also went there and never came back. Why are these people all like..." They

seem to have fallen into the toilet.

"Your Majesty!"

A person suddenly appeared behind Xiao Xiangzi and walked quietly to Jiang Xinyue's side.

"Tang Shiliang?"

Jiang Xinyue turned her head suddenly: "Why are you here to see me when you are not serving the emperor? Where is the emperor?"

"The situation... is a bit complicated... Please move with me, madam."

His face was anxious, and even beads of sweat were flowing down. He was very anxious.

"Madam!"

After Jiang Xinyue asked about Ruan's whereabouts, Shuangjiang explained it clearly, but still went to ask their own insider about Ruan's whereabouts. After

finally finding out, she quickly picked up the hem of her skirt and walked quickly to the platform: "Madam is in trouble."

Jiang Xinyue looked at Tang Shiliang, and then at Shuangjiang.

Was it intentional?

Her mind was racing. Her mother was surrounded by palace maids and eunuchs who knew Kung Fu, and the emperor not only had Wang Dequan, but also so many guards and secret guards for personal protection. No matter how you look at it, her mother should be in greater danger.

But...

if the emperor was really so safe, why would Tang Shiliang come to her for help instead of looking for the palace guards?

It was obvious that what the emperor encountered should not be life-threatening, but he did not want outsiders to know.

She should have chosen to save her mother, but...
