Seeing that Manager Li had also come over, Jiang Nianjiao no longer bothered about the account book.
After all, compared to the group of refugees in the back mountain, greed for money and money can only be regarded as a trivial matter.
So she only asked about what happened in the back mountain, "Do you know who those people in the back mountain are?"
When Jiang Nianjiao asked about this matter, Wang Zhuangtou looked obviously confused. He asked cautiously, "Is there anyone in the back mountain?"
After receiving such an answer, Jiang Nianjiao almost felt that Wang Zhuangtou laughed angrily, "Are you the head of Huanyuan Farm? Or am I? You are in charge of this village, but you don't even know what's going on behind you?"
At this time, Wang Zhuangtou quickly expressed his grievance: "Master, it's not that I don't want to take care of the affairs of the back mountain. Aren't those black-robed men controlling us? Since they took charge of the safety of our Zhuangzi, the back mountain has become an absolute restricted area. , no matter outsiders or us living here, are not allowed to go to the back mountain."
The other party is still a village leader, but when asked about it, he doesn't know anything about it. There is no way to talk today.
When Jiang Nianjiao was speechless, Zhao Yanzhen, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly interrupted Jiang Nianjiao's thoughts of continuing to investigate the matter. "Jiaojiao, let me handle the rest of this matter. After all, those who know now The more there are, the harder it is to hide some things.”
Jiang Nianjiao heard Zhao Yanzhen's reminder and just remembered that the fewer people knew about this matter, the better. It was just that she was too eager to know the identities of those men in black robes, so she mentioned it so urgently.
She didn't ask further.
Zhao Yanzhen's eyes only glanced at Manager Li, who had been silent since then. He then pointed at Manager Li and said, "Jiaojiao, can I take away Manager Li?"
Jiang Nianjiao naturally understood what Zhao Yanzhen meant. Although she hadn't asked Manager Li anything yet, the manager was obviously much smarter and knew more than Wang Zhuangtou.
Seeing how he looked deeply afraid of the identity of the man in black robe just now, he was afraid that the answer he wanted was in the man in black robe.
But Zhao Yanzhen obviously only intended to stop the matter to the extent of identifying the family thief.
But besides defeating Yu Se, the most important thing now is obviously to know what happened.
After all, someone was taking advantage of his weakness, but he didn't even know what it was.
Jiang Nianjiao hated this feeling very much.
She frowned slightly, and then she was about to refuse.
"I'm afraid I can't agree to this." Jiang Nianjiao whispered.
"Don't worry, Jiaojiao, I won't use the incident behind you to make things difficult for you. I can even guarantee that you won't feel even half-hearted about that matter." Zhao Yanzhen seemed to have read through Jiang Nianjiao's thoughts, and he smiled. promised.
However, Jiang Nianjiao only felt that the other party's smile was inexplicably dazzling.
However, Zhao Yanzhen stopped looking at him at this moment. He just told the people below with a cold face, "Take everyone down."
After catching everyone in Huanyuan Farm, evacuating them and keeping those who should be left behind, Jiang Nianjiao and Zhao Yanzhen just left Huanyuan Farm together.
Naturally, the two of them were riding in the same carriage on the way, but Jiang Nianjiao still complained that Zhao Yanzhen had snatched someone from her just now, so she didn't even say a word to Zhao Yanzhen on the way.
On the contrary, Zhao Yanzhen seemed to want to coax her, "Jiaojiao, are you still angry about what happened just now?"
"But what happens next Jiaojiao has nothing to do with you, and I don't want you to get involved." Zhao Yanzhen said softly.
"It has nothing to do with me? This kind of thing happened on my territory, but you said it had nothing to do with me? His Highness detained the insiders in my village, but you still said you don't want me to get involved?"
"Jiaojiao, don't get angry with me. If you want to know, I will tell you everything after I handle the matter properly." Zhao Yanzhen still coaxed Jiang Nianjiao softly.
But the more he acted like this, the more Jiang Nianjiao felt unhappy.
I always feel like I'm being treated as a fool right now.
But if you continue to argue, you will undoubtedly become more convinced of the title of fool.
So after a few sarcastic remarks, Jiang Nianjiao stopped speaking.
Moreover, the person in front of him was Zhao Yanzhen, the third highness of the dynasty, and he might be the future emperor someday.
What can I do to negotiate terms with him? What do I want to do now?
It's up to him.
Maybe it's because the longer I have been with him during this period, he is used to being a sweet talker.
He actually started to argue with him unscrupulously.
But who is he to himself?
After thinking about this, Jiang Nianjiao's unknown fire was suppressed by himself.
Anyway, he didn't say anything, so he checked slowly. Besides, wasn't there a Yu Se in the yard right now?
Thinking of this, Jiang Nianjiao also changed her tone and said, "In that case, please ask Your Highness to find out about this matter."
After saying this, her expression was extremely calm, as if she was no longer angry about what had just happened.
Zhao Yanzhen still couldn't adapt to the drastic change in her attitude. He asked tentatively, "Is Jiaojiao not angry anymore?"
Jiang Nianjiao smiled and said, "Why am I angry?"
Seeing her like this, Zhao Yanzhen noticed the abnormality in Jiang Nianjiao's mood.
But coaxing people won't work now. What kind of relationship do they have now? After all, from beginning to end, Jiaojiao never explicitly promised to choose herself, no matter how sincere she was in these few words. She was afraid that she might not believe in herself.
Fortunately, the days are long and he will have plenty of time to let Jiaojiao understand his sincerity.
The two of them just had different thoughts at this time.
Unexpectedly, they both remained silent together for a rare moment, choosing not to say more about what happened just now.
After that, the two of them returned to Shangjing in silence.
When he arrived in front of the Jiang Mansion, Zhao Yanzhen sent Jiang Nianjiao to the Jiang family's inner palace just like last time.
And as soon as Jiang Nianjiao entered the house, the servants invited Jiang Nianjiao to hurry to the main hall.
It's just that the situation this time is very different from the last time.
Last time, there was only Yu Se in the Jiang Mansion. However, after arriving in the hall today, there was not only Yu Se sitting on the Grand Master's chair in the hall, but now his father Jiang Fang was sitting there.
In addition, sitting there was a handsome young man wearing a brocade blue bamboo crane robe. His skin was slightly dark.
Hearing the announcement from the servants, the young man's eyes were also looking outside the hall, so Jiang Nianjiao met his eyes as soon as he came back.
However, the young man only glanced at Jiang Nianjiao briefly, and then his eyes quickly moved down to Jiang Nianjiao's hands.
At this time, Zhao Yanzhen was holding Jiang Nianjiao's hand. The two of them were side by side and holding hands. Compared with his fiancé, they looked more like a match made in heaven.
Jiang Nianjiao was naturally aware of the young man's emotions.
After what happened just now, she still felt that Chen Jinghuai was more suitable for her than Zhao Yanzhen.
She could see that she and Zhao Yanzhen were actually the same type of people. They both liked to control others rather than be controlled by others.
So instead of choosing someone she can't figure out, Chen Jinghuai is still her first choice at the moment.
She tried to break free from Zhao Yanzhen's hand.
Zhao Yanzhen didn't know whether it was intentional or not, but he held Jiang Nianjiao's hand and refused to let go. The two people above naturally saw the rough waves of the three people here.
Jiang Fang had a straight face and only coughed lightly.
Yu Se, on the other hand, was just watching the excitement and didn't mind the trouble. "Jiaojiao, are you back? You don't know how worried your father, me, and Jinghuai are about you. Jinghuai, after discovering that you were missing, only I don’t know how worried I am about you.”
"I didn't expect Jiaojiao to be with His Highness the Third."
Then her eyes only turned to the hands held by Zhao Yanzhen and Jiang Nianjiao and said, "Seeing that Jiaojiao and His Highness the Third Highness have such a good relationship, I feel relieved."
Yu Se's words were a bit strange, and he was clearly eager to expose the ambiguity between himself and Zhao Yanzhen in front of others.
Chen Jinghuai's eyes were visibly dim.
Jiang Nianjiao wanted to say a few words to him, but Jiang Fang spoke first. His voice was relatively calm, but his face was full of anger that could not be suppressed by the naked eye. "Where are you going?"
These words were obviously questioning Jiang Nianjiao.
Jiang Fang knew his excuse for going to Chenliuzhuang.
If he didn't find anything, Jiang Fang wouldn't ask such nonsense.
Combined with Yu Se's tone of not taking it too seriously just to see the excitement, Jiang Nianjiao almost quickly guessed that what happened in Chenliuzhuang was probably
What's changed?
Therefore, Jiang Nianjiao said softly, "We encountered some dangers on the road, but fortunately His Highness Lu Yu came to the rescue, and Jiaojiao was able to return safely."
Yu Se also said softly, "Master, let me just say it, right? Will Jiaojiao be fine? Do you think this is the time when we meet His Highness the Third Prince again?"
After saying this, Yu Se looked at Zhao Yanzhen and said with a smile, "Your Highness, you have saved my little girl every time. I really want to thank you today. I just wonder where your Highness saved our Jiaojiao?"
She originally thought that Zhao Yanzhen didn't know much, but what Zhao Yanzhen said was more heartbreaking than she imagined.
"Of course it was at the foot of Qingfu Mountain, ten miles away from Chenliuzhuang. I was passing there at that time, and happened to see more than ten black-clad and masked assassins jumping out of the woods. Those people were attacking a car, and the man outside the car was The entourage is no match for those assassins. When I saw the lantern of the Jiang family hanging on the car, I knew that it was from Jiang Xiang's family, so I couldn't ignore death. So I ordered my secret guards to rescue the driver. There are people in the car. I just didn’t expect that the person sitting in the car was actually the young lady from Jiang Mansion.”
"I met Jiaojiao a few times, so I rescued Jiaojiao. At that time, she said she was going to Chenliuzhuang. I thought it was dangerous, so I advised her not to go, and only sent one of his secret guards to pretend to be Jiaojiao. I went to Chenliuzhuang to explore the way, and then settled Jiaojiao in a nearby village. I just didn’t expect that the secret guard I sent out didn’t come back. I thought it was dangerous, so I sent Jiaojiao back in person.”
Upon hearing Zhao Yanzhen's words, Yu Se's face darkened visibly, and even Jiang Fang also darkened.
Then, without waiting for Yu Se to say anything else, Jiang Fang spoke first, "So? That person pretending to be Jiaojiao was sent there by His Highness?"
Zhao Yanzhen nodded without changing his expression. .
Jiang Fang obviously still had doubts, "I wonder if Your Highness knows the name of the secret guard pretending to be Nian Jiao?"
"Chaolu. I sent a total of four people." Zhao Yanzhen said without changing his expression.
