The gate of Zhou Mansion looks a little dilapidated, and the red maples are falling off. The piles of maple leaves seem to tell the decline of this place. When Jiang Nianjiao stood here, she was almost unsure whether anyone really lived here.
But now that she was here, she decided to knock on the door. She only thought in her heart that if she could find someone from the Zhou family this time, maybe she could find clues about Zijuan.
Soon after, the door slowly opened, and a young maid appeared at the door. Her eyes were indifferent, as if she had no interest in the visitor. She asked bluntly: "Who are you looking for?"
Jiang Nianjiao was slightly startled. She did not expect this little maid to have such an attitude. She tried to remain polite and asked softly: "Excuse me, is there anyone in your house? I have something to ask."
The little maid did not answer Jiang Nianjiao's question. She just looked at her with an impatient look, then turned and walked back to the house.
At this time, Zijuan walked out from behind Jiang Nianjiao. She said softly: "Girl, don't mind, that's just her character. I just want to ask her if I can go in and find your boss."
Jiang Nianjiao nodded slightly, she understood what Zijuan meant. They need to confirm whether there is still someone in charge of the Zhou family. If there is someone, then they may be able to find clues about Zijuan.
The little maid heard Zijuan's words and appeared at the door again. She looked Zijuan up and down, then shook her head and said, "I don't know you.".Ь.
After saying that, she turned and left.
Before the little maid could walk away, another woman's call came from inside the house: "Xiao Qi! Where have you been slacking off, you damn girl? Why don't you come over and help me get my things!"
Jiang Nianjiao looked into the room through the crack in the door and saw two women arguing over a silk horse-faced skirt. They talked to each other and fought over each other like bandits entering the village.
The little maid obviously heard this voice. She stopped talking and just turned to look at Jiang Nianjiao, as if to signal her to leave quickly. After all, this kind of thing is related to the master's face. If Jiang Nianjiao continues to stay here, it may bring unnecessary trouble to the Zhou family.
Jiang Nianjiao understood what the little maid meant. She did not continue to inquire, but turned and left the Zhou Mansion.
During this trip to Zhou Mansion, Jiang Nianjiao gained almost nothing.
But judging from the little maid's attitude, Xiao Zi may indeed not be Zi Juan.
Otherwise, how could the little maid living together not recognize Zijuan in front of her?
Zijuan was obviously frustrated by what the little maid said just now. She thought she had finally found her family yesterday. When Jiang Nianjiao told her the news, she was so happy that she almost stayed up all night, but she didn't expect that she would be the one who turned out to be the one in the end. Nothing but joy.
After being denied by the Zhou family, the clues about Zijuan's life experience were completely lost.
Jiang Nianjiao also felt that there was no need to tell Lu Zhizhang anything at this moment.
After all, she still has some difficulty letting go of Lu Zhizhang. Now she can naturally not contact him, so she would try not to contact him as much as possible.
However, Jiang Nianjiao could also see Xiao Zi's loss, so after a moment of loss, Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but said to Xiao Zi, "Xiao Zi, don't be too discouraged. The Zhou family has no clues. We can go somewhere else." Look for clues and we will definitely help you find your family."
Xiao Zi felt grateful after hearing Jiang Nianjiao's words, "Madam, you are so kind to me. Actually, I'm not sad about this. What I'm sad about is that I can't remember the past, which makes it difficult for Madam to run around for me." , I feel really ashamed."
After finishing her words, Xiao Zi only glanced at Jiang Nianjiao's now erect pregnant belly.
Jiang Nianjiao waved her hands nonchalantly, "It's not a big deal. In fact, I wanted to go out for a walk myself."
When Jiang Nianjiao finished speaking, in order to comfort Xiao Zi, she just suggested to Xiao Zi, "Xiao Zi, I opened a rouge shop on East Street called Xiaochun Mountain. Why don't we go there for a walk."
Girls all like these rouge, gouache, and jewelry.
Although Xiao Zi couldn't remember anything, it didn't stop Xiao Zi from loving these things. She nodded, "Okay."
With Xiao Zi's consent, Jiang Nianjiao got on the carriage with them. After that, the carriage rolled and rolled, and they soon arrived at the Xiaochun Mountain Rouge Shop.
Xiaochunshan Rouge Shop is still full of customers, and Xiaochunshan is completely surrounded by customers coming and going.
The queue stretched to the back of a street.
So when Jiang Nianjiao led people directly into Xiaochun Mountain in a carefree manner, a woman in the queue immediately shouted to Jiang Nianjiao, "Oh, don't think that you don't have to queue because you are a pregnant woman! If everyone is like you, Then this business can still be done!"
The woman spoke as if she was the boss of Xiaochunshan. With the woman speaking out, the others just followed suit and said, "That's right, pregnant women can't jump in line either."
Jiang Nianjiao was not angry when she heard everyone's accusations. She smiled slightly and said, "I'm sorry, everyone."
But when she was about to continue talking, Lan Jue, who was busy doing business in the store, immediately saw Jiang Nianjiao standing outside with someone watching her.
This is his boss.
Thinking of this, Lan Jue immediately ran over to rescue him and said, "Master, why are you here?"
Seeing Lan Jue coming over and carefully calling the woman in front of him as his host, the women who had just scolded him felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
They didn't expect that this would be Princess Jin. Although her appearance was still beautiful, her appearance was still a bit haggard due to pregnancy.
When Jiang Nianjiao saw Lan Jue coming, she just whispered, "Why is the queue in the store like this?"
Lan Jue sighed, "There's nothing we can do about it. Everyone likes the rouge in our store. Even though I have improved the business in the store, the store is only so big."
Hearing Lan Jue's words, Jiang Nianjiao seemed to be thoughtful. She didn't know why, but at this moment, she suddenly thought of Chen Yan, the daughter of the former magistrate of Beijing.
This woman once asked to join Xiaochunshan, and she agreed, but because she was pregnant, she had never been there to see it. She didn't know how the other party was doing now.
Then Jiang Nianjiao was about to ask Chen Yan about the situation there, but she didn't want to wait for Jiang Nianjiao to ask.
Suddenly a violent shout came from the crowd.
"Suffer death!" After the words fell, there was a roar in the crowd. No one knew what happened, but the loud shouting was obviously some kind of hint.
Everyone was frightened. As a flash of silver light flashed, a figure passed through the crowd like lightning. In an instant, the people who had just queued up were all confused.
And the woman appeared in front of Jiang Nianjiao without warning. The long sword in her hand was like a poisonous snake, and she stared at Jiang Nianjiao coldly. At this moment, Jiang Nianjiao's mind went blank. She felt that her heart had jumped into her throat, and her face instantly turned pale. She tried to dodge, but it was too late, the woman had already started her attack.
Fortunately, Cuiqiao appeared in time. Like a guardian, she saw Cuiqiao taking action with lightning speed. She skillfully opened the long sword in the woman's hand.
The woman's figure froze for an instant, and Cui Qiao took the opportunity to fight with her. Their figures moved quickly, their swords flashed, as if they were performing a fierce dance.
Cuiqiao's attacks were quick and accurate, and every attack she made accurately hit the woman's weakness. However, that woman was not to be outdone. Her sword skills were strange and sharp, forcing Cui Qiao to go all out. The battle was extremely fierce, filling the surrounding air with tension and danger.
Jiang Nianjiao stood aside, feeling nervous and panicked. She wanted to do something but didn't know what to do. Her mind was in chaos, and everything in front of her made it impossible for her to calm down.
What's worse is that because of her actions just now, she felt her abdomen suddenly cramped. Fortunately, Lan Jue immediately hugged Jiang Nianjiao at this time.
She could feel the cold sweat pouring down Jiang Nianjiao's face.
Lan Jue immediately realized that Jiang Nianjiao must have fetuses, so in the chaos, he immediately called on a few calm waiters to accompany him and help Jiang Nianjiao quickly enter the house.
Then he arranged for another clerk to quickly ask the midwife and doctor to come over.
Cui Qiao naturally saw Jiang Nianjiao's actions out of the corner of her eye, and she was secretly anxious.
Why did something happen to Gillian at this time? Will she be okay?
And when Cui Qiao was distracted, the woman who was on par with Cui Qiao's kung fu immediately stabbed Cui Qiao in the chest with her sword.
Fortunately, at this fatal moment, Yu Shisan appeared in time, and he once again knocked away the long sword in the woman's hand.
And he only turned around and yelled at Cuiqiao, "Why are you so dazed at this time! You don't want your life!"
It was at this moment that Cuiqiao suddenly realized that she had been in a daze. Although she was worried about Jiang Nianjiao, she also knew that she had to deal with the woman in front of her.
Fortunately, with Yu Shisan's action, the woman seemed to be finally invincible.
However, just when Yu Shisan and Cui Qiao stabbed the woman with their swords, the woman suddenly turned into smoke and disappeared.
Her disappearance was as if there had never been a street assassination or their fight side by side.
However, Jiang Nianjiao, who was unable to stand due to labor pain, and the chaotic crowd seemed to indicate that what just happened was not an illusion. .Ь.
Zhao Yanzhen walked out of the carriage with a gloomy expression.
He was across the street just now, and he naturally saw all the chaos in Xiaochun Mountain.
At that time, he also thought that there was a real female assassin assassinating Jiang Nianjiao.
However, judging from the fact that the woman turned into smoke and disappeared, the chaos just now was just an illusion show. It was obvious that someone used this illusion to create the panic just now.
