The figure was wrapped tightly in Xia Xia. At first she thought the man was here to do something shady, until she accidentally glanced at the mole on the man's hand.
She stood up quickly and rushed towards the man without saying a word.
The man seemed unaware of this and stood motionless. She didn't turn around until Jiang Yuhuan approached.
"Second...has Madam lost a bracelet?"
"Yes, I'm looking for it. Madam, do you know where it is?"
Jiang Yuhuan smiled and said, "I saw it when I came here. I will take my wife there."
The lady nodded gently, "Thank you."
Jiang Yuhuan said "Nothing" and gestured to Sanqi, who nodded at her.
She led her lady to the pavilion on the cliff, and Sanqi stood with his back to her, guarding the only entrance.
"Second aunt."
That day at the British palace, when her second aunt gave her a bracelet, she saw a mole on her wrist.
Just now she mentioned the bracelet haphazardly just to test her identity.
The other party was not surprised and followed her words, so she confirmed that the other party was her second aunt.
"Ah Huan." Mrs. Luo Er stood side by side with Jiang Yuhuan without lifting her veil.
"I took the bracelet that my second aunt gave me to Yumingxuan and asked about it."
Jiang Yuhuan paused, waiting for Mrs. Luo's reaction.
"Yu Mingxuan is good. You have found the right place. I heard from an old friend that the shopkeeper of Yu Mingxuan is a good craftsman and a kind person."
Mrs. Luo Er's answer conveyed two messages.
First, Jiang Yuhuan found the right place. The place she wanted Jiang Yuhuan to go to was Yumingxuan.
Secondly, the reason that led her there was related to her mother and the agreement between her mother and shopkeeper Yu Mingxuan.
Seeing that this matter was confirmed, Jiang Yuhuan continued: "Yes, but after thinking about it, I decided not to mend the bracelet yet."
Mrs. Luo Er said in a surprised tone, "Why?"
Jiang Yuhuan did not answer, but turned the topic to Mrs. Luo Er.
"Why did my second aunt come to Fuhua Mountain today? Did she come alone?"
Mrs. Luo Er's tone was a little low, "Today is the birthday of an old friend, so I came here to pay my respects."
"Since we are old friends, why hide it?"
"The situation at home is complicated and it is not appropriate to reveal your whereabouts. You deserve that bracelet and it should be repaired."
Mrs. Luo Er returned to the bracelet.
Jiang Yuhuan knew that her second aunt was trying to persuade her, but she wanted to respect her mother's approach and not touch the money unless absolutely necessary.
"The bracelet is an old possession of my family. I want to keep it as a souvenir."
"Ah Huan, it's useless to think about it, just take what belongs to you and go."
Mrs. Luo Er's tone was a little serious. As she spoke, she turned to leave.
Jiang Yuhuan hurriedly stopped her, "What does the second aunt know? There are only two of us here, why can't we say it clearly?"
Mrs. Luo raised her hand and pressed the brim of her hat, "You and I have only met once, so you can recognize me, but there's no guarantee that others won't. Ah Huan, that's all the second aunt can do. Listen to my second aunt, you go." Bar."
After saying that, Mrs. Luo Er did not stop, crossed Sanqi and left.
Looking at Mrs. Luo's hurried away figure, Jiang Yuhuan fell into deep thought.
The second aunt told her to take the money and leave. She must have known something bad for her.
Obviously, this matter is related to the complicated situation at home she mentioned.
She even came to offer incense to her mother in secret. It seemed that the grudge between the British government and her mother was deep and might even affect her.
But now she can't leave if she wants to...
She walked out of the pavilion and walked slowly towards the guest room.
I have something to hide in my heart and have no intention of enjoying the scenery along the way.
She was walking absentmindedly when she suddenly heard someone calling her. She turned around and saw Qi Yi walking slowly towards her.
She smiled politely and said, "Mr. Qi, what a coincidence."
Qi Yi cupped his hands, stood up and said, "The princess is also here to offer incense?"
"Um."
"What kind of trouble did the princess encounter?"
Jiang Yuhuan tilted his head, "Huh? Why do you ask?"
"I think the princess's expression is not very good."
Jiang Yuhuan couldn't help but touch her face. Has her expression deteriorated to this extent?
She pretended not to care and said, "Oh, it's okay. It's probably because today is my mother's birthday, so I can't bring myself to cheer up."
Hearing this, Qi Yi hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry for mentioning the princess's sadness."
"fine."
Jiang Yuhuan shook her head and suddenly felt dizzy. She felt a pair of warm hands dragging her forearms.
When she woke up and met Qi Yi's worried eyes, she pretended to smile casually, "I'm fine, thank you."
Qi Yi retracted his hand, the worry in his eyes not diminishing, "The princess looks very bad, are you really okay?"
Jiang Yuhuan made an excuse casually, "It's really okay. I neglect to exercise on weekdays. I feel a little dizzy after climbing such a long distance. I'll just go to the guest room to rest."
"Then I'll send the princess there."
"No, it's enough if I have Panax notoginseng. Are you also coming to the temple to offer incense?"
Qi Yi responded vaguely.
Jiang Yuhuan wisely didn't ask further, found an excuse and left with Sanqi first.
She returned to the guest room, and Zhongyuan just came in with medicine.
Jiang Yuhuan knows how bitter Chinese medicine is just by smelling it.
She knew that Zhongyuan was easier to talk to than Sanqi, so she made an excuse that the medicine was hot and she would drink it later.
"Princess, this servant specially waited for the medicine to cool down before bringing it over."
Jiang Yuhuan choked and asked again: "Will the medicine lose its effectiveness when it is cold? Should I stop heating it?"
"The 'cool' that slave said is not hot, not really cold."
"Oh, it's not cute at all." Jiang Yuhuan took the medicine and muttered dissatisfiedly.
The words fell into Zhongyuan's ears without any hesitation, and Zhongyuan said with a straight face: "You don't need to be cute, as long as you do your duty well."
Jiang Yuhuan couldn't defeat her. He curled his lips and looked at the dark concoction as if he was facing an enemy.
Finally, under Zhongyuan's repeated urging, she closed her eyes and drank the medicine in one gulp as if she was about to die.
"vomit--"
The bitter taste spread in her mouth, and she couldn't help but shudder.
Zhongyuan had quick eyesight and took the opportunity to stuff a candy into her mouth.
The sweet taste on her tongue made Jiang Yuhuan's eyes widen in surprise, and she gave Zhongyuan a thumbs up.
Zhongyuan couldn't help laughing.
Sanqi on the side took in everything. Her eyelashes trembled, shaking away all the loneliness in her eyes.
Zhongyuan put the bowl away and met Jiang Qiao when he went out. She knelt down and said, "I have met Mr. Hou."
"Yes." Jiang Qiao smelled the smell of medicine and then noticed the medicine bowl in Dao Zhongyuan's hand, "A Huan is sick?"
Zhongyuan heard Jiang Yuhuan mention the people from Wensihou Mansion and knew Jiang Yuhuan's attitude, so he did not answer directly.
She changed her words and said, "Master Marquis, please go in quickly, the princess is inside."
Hearing this, Jiang Qiao stopped asking about the medicine.
When he walked into the door, the smell of medicine was even more obvious.
"Ahuan, are you sick?"
Jiang Yuhuan chewed the candy into pieces and said, "Well, it's a little cold."
"You...you don't have anyone caring about you in the Prince's Mansion, why not..."
These words sounded familiar to Jiang Yuhuan, so she interrupted: "Master Hou still wants to give Jiang Li to me, right?"
Last time she said that she was beaten by Fu Shilu, this was Jiang Qiao's way of saying it.
"Where do you think of dad! Dad just wants you to bring two people from the Hou Mansion to take care of you."
Jiang Li is now going to marry into the Ningguo Duke's palace. How could he still be thinking about letting Jiang Li enter the Duke's palace?
Jiang Yuhuan didn't dare to respond. The people in the Marquis's Mansion were not as safe as the people in the County Prince's Mansion.
The people in the county palace know her origin, so it is more convenient for her to use it.
But Jiang Qiao's words reminded her that she had to cultivate her own confidants.
"Of course I think according to the Marquis's usual thoughts."
Jiang Qiao hesitated to speak, as if he wanted to refute but didn't know how to refute. Finally, he simply changed the topic and said, "Ah Huan, dad has something to tell you."
"Just say it."
"Let the people around you get down."
Jiang Yuhuan did not fight against Jiang Qiao, and directly waved his hand to let Sanqi go out.
Sanqi took a deep look at Jiang Qiao, then walked out and closed the door behind him.
"Ah Huan, dad has some money here. You can take the money and leave the capital."
Jiang Yuhuan looked at the stack of banknotes on the table and suddenly laughed, "Does the Marquis know what he is talking about?"
"The capital is in danger, you must leave."
Jiang Yuhuan had a calm expression on his face, "Wherever there was danger, didn't I just rely on my intelligence to escape the danger?"
"Can you guarantee that you will avoid it every time?" Jiang Qiao said in a anxious tone, "Just listen to dad, he won't harm you!"
Jiang Yuhuan seemed a little relaxed and took the banknotes and counted them carefully.
"Thirty thousand taels, if you find a water town in the south of the Yangtze River and buy a house, it will be enough for a lifetime."
Jiang Qiao thought Jiang Yuhuan had agreed, and couldn't hide his excitement, "Yes!"
"What about my mother's dowry?"
"I will give your mother's dowry to Ayuan, don't worry."
"I don't feel at ease with what you do." Jiang Yuhuan casually put the banknote on the table, "I really don't know what dangers there are that require me to leave the capital regardless of my status as the princess of the county."
Yesterday, he refused Aunt Sun's proposal to put Jiang Li in her mother's name, and also refused her mother's offer to give Jiang Li a dowry to save her face. She really didn't expect it.
But this does not mean that she believes that Jiang Qiao can keep the dowry well.
Besides, Jiang Qiao didn't consider her status as the princess of the county at all and kept trying to persuade her to leave. This was unreliable enough.
She was the princess of the county, so it would be okay if she went out for fun. If she wanted to disappear permanently, not only would Fu Shilu not let her go, but neither would the Queen Mother, who would probably take the opportunity to accuse her so that she could die outside.
It may not be safe for her to leave the capital rashly.
"You can fake your death and escape, that's why I said you need people from the Hou Mansion."
Jiang Yuhuan laughed at Jiang Qiao's naive thinking in his heart.
"Does the Marquis want me to make room for a younger sister in the family?"
Jiang Qiao seemed to have been framed, "Ah Huan, how can you miss dad so much!"
"Then the Marquis will analyze it for me. What dangers make me have to leave."
"I can't tell you."
Jiang Yuhuan laughed angrily.
The second aunt asked her to take the money and leave, but was vague about the reason, and even met her secretly.
Jiang Qiao also asked her to take the money and leave. He didn't even make up the reason, and he couldn't tell her when asked.
She was a little curious about who she would be a threat to after a person who had been crazy for more than ten years regained consciousness!
"Is it because of the British government?"
"That's your maternal grandfather's house, how could it be possible!" Jiang Qiao had a sincere look on his face, and his expression seemed to say that Jiang Yuhuan thought too bad of the British government and was treasonous.
Jiang Yuhuan was speechless. Based on what Jiang Qiao said, she couldn't believe it was a good idea for Jiang Qiao to let her go.
Even the shopkeeper of Yu Mingxuan knew about the matter between her mother and the British Duke. Jiang Qiao actually thought that the British Duke would not do anything bad to her.
"But I recently heard that when my mother got married, the dowry prepared by my grandmother was all stones."
Jiang Qiao was crestfallen, "Hey, that's just your grandmother looking down on me and deliberately embarrassing me."
"..." Jiang Yuhuan didn't know what to say for a moment. She seemed to have some misunderstandings about Jiang Qiao.
Is it her imagination? Why does Jiang Qiao seem a bit silly and sweet?
A woman carries dozens of boxes of stones into her husband's house on her wedding day. Who is the embarrassment to?
Is this question difficult to think about? She doesn't understand.
According to Jiang Qiao's knowledge, it was not someone from the British government who was against her. She continued to test, "Is it the Queen Mother?"
Suddenly, Jiang Qiao's expression turned serious, and Jiang Yuhuan knew that she had guessed it right.
