At 11:00 p.m., a small figure sneaked in through the back door of the Jiang residence.

Xiaoqing closed the door, and it was obvious that she had grown much braver after the last visit. Xiaoqing hurriedly went up to help Jiang Yuanyi change her clothes, and brought tea, whispering:

"No one came tonight. The old man and his wife were busy with the wedding of the eldest young master and the eldest young lady. The eldest young master has always been interested in the second daughter of Luo Quan, the Minister of Personnel, and is going to propose marriage after the results are announced."

Jiang Yuanyi nodded: "Miss Jingxian is indeed a good girl."

Xiaoqing blinked and asked: "Have you ever seen her?"

My sister-in-law in the previous life was a gentle and kind girl. But she was too weak, and she has been bedridden since she gave birth to her first child.

Jiang Yuanyi: "I've heard of it."

The window frame was knocked, and Jiang Yuanyi walked to the window, and heard Qian Sheng respectfully say: "Miss, it's done."

Jiang Yuanyi whispered: "I know."

Xiaoqing didn't ask much, and obediently prepared hot water for Jiang Yuanyi to wash. Yunsheng Pavilion looks like a restaurant on the surface, but the third floor is the main source of income for Yunsheng Pavilion. At this time

, in an elegant pavilion on the third floor, a group of young masters from aristocratic families were drinking fragrant longnao wine, looking at the dancing beauty in front of them in a daze. The door was slowly opened, and a group of beautifully dressed maids walked in with red lacquered wooden trays. Yao Kang was immediately caught by a graceful figure. The woman's waist was so thin that it could be held in one hand, and her round and curved buttocks swayed from side to side as she walked. Yao Kang felt his lower abdomen was hot. He leaned forward and tried to look at the woman's face. But the maid kept her head down and poured wine respectfully. Yao Kang's heart was itching with anxiety. At this moment, the maid suddenly raised her head, and when she met his eyes, she shyly and helplessly turned her face away. Her watery eyes were innocent and seductive, her small face was naturally flushed, her facial features were tender but revealed a natural beauty. Yao Kang swallowed his saliva, and when the maid walked to his side to pour wine, a faint fragrance lingered, the woman's eyelashes trembled, and her fingers were white and slender. Yao Kang finally couldn't help it, and grabbed the woman's hand with one hand and held the woman's waist with the other hand. Gao Mingxuan looked at Yao Kang in silence: "You have a special liking for the maid, right?" When he saw the maid's appearance, he couldn't help but be surprised. Compared with the dancers in front of him, she was indeed more beautiful. Yao Kang ignored him and only focused on holding the beauty in his arms. The maid screamed: "Sir, please let me go! Sir..." Yao Kang slowly slid his hand to the woman's buttocks and kneaded it roughly a few times. The maid was frightened and cried. She struggled hard to run away. How could the little girl's strength be better than his? Yao Kang stroked the maid's waist. Suddenly, one of her elbows was hit hard by a hard object, and her hand went numb for a few seconds. The maid took the opportunity to rush out, crying and shouting: "Help! Help! Someone is molesting me!" The lobby of Yunsheng Pavilion was full of guests, and they all looked up at the woman crying in the corridor on the third floor. Yao Kang ran out quickly, and seeing the maid trembling slightly, he felt his lower abdomen tighten. He narrowed his eyes and tried to pull the woman over. The maid held the railing tightly with both hands and shouted: "Help! Help!" Yao Kang stepped forward to pry his hands apart, and his face was exposed to everyone in the lobby. Someone pointed at Yao Kang and said, "Isn't that the Shangshu's son Yao Kang?" "He is doing this kind of robbery again!" "What do you mean by again?" "Last time at the Beijing Suburban Horse Farm, this Master Yao molested a maid. The maid refused and he forced her onto his horse and took her back!" "Hey, Beijing Suburban Horse Farm, isn't that Xiao Tuo?" The young man who just spoke put down his bowl and chopsticks, and said angrily, "How can it be Xiao Tuo? It's obvious that Yao Kang failed to rape and framed Xiao Tuo. On that day, it was Master Xiao Tuo and Master Lin Zhengyu who saved the maid!" Others didn't believe it: "How do you know that this is the truth?" "I was there at the time. If you don't believe me, you can go ask around and ask around. Many people saw it." The maid's shouts and cries became louder and louder. The doors of other elegant rooms on the third floor opened, and many guests came out. "Yao Kang, Yao Kang, the girl doesn't want to be with you, why did you do this? Isn't that too unmannerly?" "Yes, if you make a bigger fuss, the whole capital will know that you, Yao Kang, did such a dirty thing in Yunsheng Pavilion." As soon as someone came out to talk, people in the lobby on the first floor and the third floor pointed at Yao Kang. Yao Kang, no matter how mad he was, sobered up a little at this time. He glanced at the maid angrily and turned back to the elegant room. Such anecdotes always spread quickly. People in the private rooms on the third and second floors and the lobby on the first floor were talking about it. "Speaking of Yao Kang, he looks decent on weekdays, but why does he do so many dirty things?" "Yes, I think he has done such things so many times in private. The last time, that girl was saved by Mr. Xiao, and today this girl was also saved by us." " Last time I saw Mr. Xiao at the horse farm in the suburbs of Beijing, I felt that he was very handsome, not as dissolute as the rumors said." The maid who had just looked weak and tearful quietly withdrew from everyone's sight. She walked to the screen in the private room on the second floor and changed her clothes. This woman was Xuesha from Qinrui Pavilion. This dress was prepared by the mysterious girl yesterday. It is a light blue dress that looks ordinary, but if you look closely, you will find that it has a golden lark edge and dark patterns embroidered on the sleeves. It feels very comfortable to wear and has a fragrance. The Ning'an Kingdom has an open-minded atmosphere. Except for yellow and purple, which ordinary people cannot wear, there are no strict requirements for clothing. Such exquisite clothes must belong to a wealthy family. Xuesha sat aside, poured a cup of tea, and waited quietly. Half a minute later, the door was slowly opened. A girl in coarse cloth approached. The clothes were loose and covered the girl's exquisite curves. The black veil covered the girl's face tightly. Jiang Yuanyi took out the indenture from his sleeve and said, "Your indenture." Xuesha took it and looked at it. After confirming that it was correct, she thanked him sincerely, "Thank you for your kindness, young lady. I have no way to repay you for your kindness."

"This is a fair deal, you don't owe me anything," Jiang Yuanyi walked to the table and sat down, his white jade fingers tapping lightly on the tabletop, "but your parents no longer care about you, you have been in the brothel for two years, and you don't have any survival skills except dancing, have you thought about how to survive in the future?"

Xuesha's face was slightly pale.

She was in the brothel, and every day she only thought about how to escape. But this opportunity came too quickly and too smoothly, making it difficult for her to recover for a while.

Xuesha said palely: "This capital is so big, there is always a place for me to stay. As long as I am willing to work, there will always be work to do."

Jiang Yuanyi poured a cup of tea and handed it to her: "Sit down and talk."

The girl is still young, but she has a generous temperament, and her whole body exudes a sense of calmness and elegance, which makes people convinced unconsciously.

Xuesha sat down, took a sip of water and said, "Thank you, young lady."

Jiang Yuanyi's hands that were tapping on the table suddenly clenched, and she turned to look at Xuesha: "Do you know kung fu?"

Xuesha paused, and was in doubt for a few seconds before slowly nodding: "Yes. How did you know?"

Xuesha was originally the daughter of Liushan Swordsman, a famous knight in the martial arts world. After robbing the rich and helping the poor, she was ambushed by a local landlord and beaten to death with a group of people.

With the help of her father's friends, Xuesha came to the capital to seek refuge with her relatives. Unexpectedly, the relatives were ungrateful. Seeing that Xuesha was pretty, they sold her to a brothel after raising her for less than a year.

Xuesha blushed: "Miss, I am not good at martial arts, otherwise I would have escaped from the brothel long ago."

Jiang Yuanyi said: "Your father's best friend Yun Xiake had a unique skill, did you know?"

Xuesha said: "Yunmenshu?"

Like wind and rain, it moves in the world as if nothing, stealing all the secrets that can be heard and seen.

Jiang Yuanyi nodded: "Yes."

Xuesha waved her hand quickly: "Uncle Yun retired to the mountains and forests a long time ago. When I was young, my father and Uncle Yun did not let me learn Yunmenshu, but only let me learn some sword skills for self-defense." Xuesha

looked at the vague outline behind the black veil, paused and said: "In fact, Yunmenshu is not as weird as the legend says. I have been with Uncle Yun for several years and have seen it. Yunmenshu is just invisibility and light skills, plus a servant who has signed a life and death contract."

Jiang Yuanyi was silent behind the black veil.

It is obviously impossible to use the spies in Liujie to investigate the activities behind Yao Kang and the Chu family.

In the previous life, Jiang Yuanyi found out that the ordinary-looking small wine shop in Liujie was actually a spy a few years after she married into the Chu family.

However, being a spy is not a secret among the nobles in the capital. It’s just that merchant families like the Jiang family are difficult to contact.

These spies are in the capital, so they naturally know who can be offended and who cannot be offended better than anyone else.

For example, the Chu family is the one they dare not investigate. Moreover, they are not unaware that the person standing behind the Chu family is the sixth prince of the dynasty. The eldest son of the queen, how honorable.

The spies in Liu Street dare not offend the Chu family, but Jiang Yuanyi must offend them, otherwise, the Jiang family will surely repeat the same mistakes...

Moreover, all this must be done quietly, so that the Jiang family can have room to breathe in this huge capital.

Xuesha called softly: "Miss?"

Jiang Yuanyi came back to her senses and looked at Xuesha: "Would you like to stay with me?"

Xuesha's eyes lit up, and she looked at Jiang Yuanyi in disbelief, and couldn't help holding the woman's soft hand: "As long as you don't kill people or set fires, and enter the brothel again, Xuesha is willing to go through fire and water for you." Jiang Yuanyi

smiled and said, "Why do you have to go through fire and water?"

She took off her veil, and a pair of beautiful faces came into view.

The girl's skin was fair and delicate, like peach blossoms reflected on the snow in March. Every one of her facial features was meticulously carved, and when put together on a face, it was exceptionally harmonious. One more would have been a false appearance, and one less would have been a loss. Coupled with her natural and elegant temperament, Xuesha had seen many beauties, but had never seen such a beautiful and spiritual woman. It was hard to imagine how she would be able to fall in love with the world in a few years.

Xuesha shyly withdrew her gaze and exclaimed, "The girl is so pretty."

Jiang Yuanyi took the indenture from the table and said to Xuesha, "I'll keep this indenture for now. You can take it from me anytime within three days."

Jiang Yuanyi put on a veil and pointed to the door, "The guard named Qian Sheng at the door will take you to the yard I have prepared. I will come to find you tomorrow."

The author has something to say: I'm sorry, Xiao Tuo hasn't shown up yet. I promise there will be sweet cookies in the next chapter.
