Report

For the first time since the beginning of spring, it rained. Rainwater dripped down the eaves and onto the flagstones of the courtyard. The sky was gloomy as if it was about to collapse.

Xia Yan sat on the edge of the bed, picked up the steamed cheese, and moved closer to the young girl.

"I don't want to eat." Jiang Su Su turned her head away. Her pair of beautiful and moving eyes were filled with anger. On her jade-white face, there was a slanted cut below her right eye. Although medicine had been applied, the muscles on the cut were still sinister. Coincidentally, the cut had cut open the blood-colored mole. At first glance, she looked like an Asura.

"Su 'er, be good. Eat something and your wound will heal quickly," Xia Yan said gently.

Jiang Su Su knocked over the porcelain bowl in Xia Yan's hand and said fiercely, "What good? How can my current appearance be good? It would be better to just die. "As she spoke, she could not help but cough twice, and the twisted right side of her face looked even more frightening.

Xia Yan patted her back with heartache, "Do you want Mother's heart to ache to death? Rest assured, Su 'er, Mother will definitely find the best doctor and leave no trace. "

"Do you think I will believe your words?" Jiang Su Su looked at her, her face full of disappointment, "If it wasn't for your idea to let Shu Xiang lead Li Yang to Su Xin Yuan, how could things have developed to this stage? It's all because of you! It's all because of you! "As she spoke, her gaze was crazed, and her emotions were so intense that she almost lost control.

"Enough!" Xia Yan suddenly exclaimed in a low voice, then quickly whispered, "Do you want everyone to hear about this?"

Jiang Su Su's throat was hoarse, but she still stared at her.

Xia Yan's voice suddenly became stern, "Put away that desperate look of yours. What do you think you can change? If Jiang Ruan saw you like this, she would probably be very happy. If your father saw you like this, he would only be disappointed. If you want revenge, stop crying and listen to me. "

Her tone was stern, and Jiang Su Su was startled for a moment. She slowly calmed down and said, "What should I do?"

Seeing her like this, Xia Yan knew that Jiang Su Su had listened to her words. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your Second Brother has lost a finger. This matter is very strange. I don't know what happened to your Second Brother, but Jiang Ruan can't escape the involvement of Li Yang and you. She actually played both you and me. "

"I can't wait to peel off her skin and drink her blood." Jiang Su Su clenched her fists tightly, her gaze sinister. "She has harmed me to such an extent, I can't accept it!"

"Li Dong's family has too much power and influence. No matter what, I will not send you to the Li family. I have already written a letter to your maternal grandfather. If your maternal grandfather finds out about the current state of you and your second brother, Jiang Ruan's good days will come to an end."

Jiang Su Su's eyes brightened. "Maternal grandfather will avenge me."

"So now, you must properly recuperate from your injuries," Xia Yan looked at her and said gently, "When your injuries are better, I will arrange for you to return to Xia fu."

Xia Yan was born from the second wife of the Marquis of Yong Ding, Xia Cheng. At that time, Xia Cheng was just an obscure and unknown county magistrate. Because of Xia Yan's status, she could not marry Jiang Quan and become his official wife. Who would have thought that Xia Cheng's older brother would suddenly die of illness a few years ago, so the title of nobility would fall onto the shoulders of this bastard son. Following this, Xia Yan's status rose. In addition, Zhao Mei and General Zhao had broken off contact, so Xia Yan's status seemed to be more worthy of the position of Jiang Quan's official wife.

Like Xia Yan, Xia Cheng was also a person who was protective of his own. If he knew that such a misfortune had befallen his two granddaughters, it was unknown what methods he would use to deal with Jiang Ruan.

After chatting with Jiang Su Su for a while, Xia Yan got up and left. When she reached the door, Xia Yan rubbed her forehead and asked, "Has Chao 'er woken up?"

Lin Lang lowered her head and said, "Second Young Master woke up at noon. However, when he woke up, he lost his temper and chased all the servant girls out of the room, refusing to see anyone."

Xia Yan took a deep breath. "Let's go, I will go see him."

The weather was gloomy and rainy, but Ruan Ju was as leisurely as ever, not the slightest bit affected by the gloomy weather. As Jiang Ruan stood in front of the table, practicing her calligraphy, Bai Zhi helped her grind the ink and said, "Miss's calligraphy is getting better and better."

"You are illiterate, what are you saying?" Lian Qiao said.

Bai Zhi's face reddened. After all, her mouth was not as sharp as Lian Qiao's. She could only lower her head and mumble, "It just looks good."

Jiang Ruan put down her brush. "Do you want to learn calligraphy?"

When Lian Qiao and Bai Zhi heard this, they looked at her with surprise and joy. "Of course we want to."

"Then in a few days, I will choose a few simple books. You should also learn to read." Following her, it was always better to be literate. Usually, when Lu Zhu dealt with matters outside, Lian Qiao and Bai Zhi should also help her with some matters in the fu.

"This servant thanks Miss." The two servant girls were naturally overjoyed. For servant girls, being literate was something that only the upper class could do. Jiang Ruan helping them learn to read was something that they could not be more grateful for.

"Today, Miss ordered Lu Zhu to go out to retrieve the banknotes that were deposited at the Four Seas Bank. Why is this?" Lian Qiao asked.

Jiang Ruan glanced at her. Although these two servant girls were loyal, their thoughts were too upright. In her early years, Lu Zhu had traveled extensively and had seen many bad things in the marketplace. Thus, she did not have to worry about using them. However, these two servant girls still did not dare to use them.

"Look at the rain." Jiang Ruan looked out of the window. "For a while, it is raining, but I do not know when it will stop."

"Miss is joking," Bai Zhi said in surprise. "It is just a rain at the beginning of spring. Who knows if it will stop tomorrow morning."

"But I feel that it will not stop." Jiang Ruan shook her head.

In her previous life, it was also this year that this rain started to fall. It continued to fall for a whole three months. The crops at the beginning of spring could not be sown, and floods were wreaking havoc. Many people's houses and fields were destroyed and submerged by the flood. Suddenly, there were many refugees in the capital.

She remembered this incident clearly because at that time, the estate was also ravaged by floods. Because of the shortage of food, Zhang Lan's family was harsh on her usage to the point that it was almost cruel. Although her house was not destroyed, it was always damp. Every day, she dragged her hungry body to do rough and tiring work. One day, she was almost washed away by the flood. Fortunately, a rough and unskilled servant saw her and rescued her. She could never forget the look in Zhang Lan's family's eyes at that time. It was full of disappointment, and they wished that she could die in the water. At that time, Jiang Ruan thought that Zhang Lan's family disliked her for taking up the family's food, so they wanted her to die. Now that she thought about it, if she had died in that flood, Zhang Lan's family would have received a large reward from Xia Yan.

At that time, there were many refugees in the capital. The families did not have enough to eat. The refugees ran around everywhere, and when they could not get food, they robbed everywhere. The poor naturally did not have extra food, so they set their sights on the wealthy families in the capital. At that time, Zhao Yi, who was in charge of the city's garrison, led troops to suppress them, but was hacked to death by the refugees. At that time, the emperor, who was in charge of the imperial court, ordered the Zhao family to provide disaster relief. The Zhao family contributed ten thousand taels of silver, and the family's savings were almost emptied. From that time on, the Zhao family seemed to have begun to collapse.

Jiang Ruan found out about this matter after she entered the palace. At that time, Zhao Yi had inadvertently mentioned it when they were chatting. It was Xuan Li who had suggested to the emperor that General Zhao's family was wealthy, and perhaps they could use the silver to provide disaster relief. Jiang Ruan had also asked Xuan Li about this matter, but Xuan Li's answer was that it was above the common people, but it was just a worldly possession. To be able to protect the lives of those refugees was also a good deed.

Now that she thought about it, after that incident, Xuan Li's prestige in the imperial court increased, while the Zhao family weakened. Perhaps this was also part of his plan, and Zhao Yi's death was not that simple. How could a dignified garrison of the capital be hacked to death by unarmed rebels?

Her gaze suddenly deepened. In this life, she did not intend to be strangers with the Zhao family. The Zhao family was her surveillance and support, so how could she allow others to bully and humiliate them like this?

"Even if the rain will not stop, why did Miss take out the silver?" Bai Zhi was puzzled, "No matter what, Miss should still keep some silver by your side. What are you going to do now?"

"I asked Lu Zhu to buy all the food in the capital," Jiang Ruan said indifferently.

"Miss," Lian Qiao's eyes widened, "Why did Miss buy so much food?"

Now that it was the beginning of spring, the new grain had not yet arrived, and all the old grain from last year was not expensive. Two or three thousand silver was enough to buy more than half of it. Those farmers were worried that they would not be able to sell their grain, so when they saw this, they would also sell all the grain.

"I was thinking that if the rain continued to fall, it would become a flood, and these grains would be valuable." Jiang Ruan smiled.

"Miss." Bai Zhi moved her lips, but in the end, she did not say anything. Jiang Ruan's words had never left any room for refutation. She was determined, and once she had decided on something, she would not waver. So even if Bai Zhi thought that Jiang Ruan's action was really inconceivable, she could only let her be.

At this moment, Lu Zhu pushed the door open and walked in. When she saw Jiang Ruan, she smiled and said, "Miss, the person I found has already bought all the grain and piled it up in a warehouse in the west of the city. The key is in this servant's hands. "

She handed the key to Jiang Ruan and smiled, "Because no one has come to buy the old grain these days, this servant has bought most of the rice and flour."

"You did very well." Jiang Ruan played with the exquisite and small silver key in her hand.

"However, Miss," Lu Zhu thought for a while, "this servant saw Fifth Yiniang at the entrance of the courtyard. She looked like she was going to come in, so this servant asked her, but she left again."

"I know." Jiang Ruan muttered to herself, "Since this is the case, let's go to Fifth Yiniang's courtyard and sit for a while."

Hong Ying was embroidering in the room. The weather was not very good, and the light was not very clear. After embroidering for a long time, she still felt that the embroidery was not satisfactory. She was really annoyed when she saw a maidservant come forward and say, "Yiniang, Eldest Miss is here."

"Eldest Miss?" She frowned slightly, not expecting Jiang Ruan to come. Other than Jiang Quan, no one else had ever set foot in this courtyard. She stood up, and Jiang Ruan happened to walk in. When she saw her, she smiled and said, "So Yiniang is embroidering, your embroidery is very good."

Hong Ying followed her gaze and glanced at the embroidery on the table. It was embroidered in the shape of a pouch for Jiang Quan. The embroidery was of azure clouds and white cranes. The white cranes were vivid and lifelike, setting off the lofty artistic conception, and the colors were also very beautiful.

"It's just embroidery for fun," Hong Ying smiled and said, "If Eldest Miss likes it, this servant will embroider one for Eldest Miss another day."

"Thank you very much, Fifth Yiniang." Jiang Ruan smiled and accepted. She swept her gaze around the room and said, "Originally, everyone said that Father dotes on Fifth Yiniang the most, but I did not believe it. Now that I have seen it, I have no choice but to believe it."

The room was exquisitely decorated, and the things placed on the shelf and table were all exquisite and valuable. Presumably, Jiang Quan had also put some thought into Hong Ying.

Hong Ying was startled, and then she smiled and said, "Master naturally dotes on Furen the most, Eldest Miss is joking."

"I never joke." Jiang Ruan smiled and said, "Today, I have come to visit Fifth Yiniang for no particular reason." Her expression was gentle, "These past few days, the fu has not been too peaceful, and Second Younger Sister and Second Older Brother have met with misfortune, but it is as if they have been cursed. I am thinking that the next one, will it be Ruan niang's turn? "

Hong Ying's heart jumped when she heard this, and she looked at Jiang Ruan and asked, "Eldest Miss, why do you say this?"

"Intuition." Jiang Ruan smiled, "I do not have anyone close to me in the fu, and Mother passed away too early. Although Mother treats me well, I already have Second Younger Sister and Second Older Brother … "Her voice was slightly low," There are some words that I can only say to Fifth Yiniang. If Fifth Yiniang is the mistress of the fu, how good would that be? A kind-hearted person like Fifth Yiniang will certainly protect Ruan niang in all aspects, and Ruan niang will certainly repay Fifth Yiniang, allowing the Jiang fu to be harmonious and prosperous. "

Fifth Yiniang pursed her lips, and for some reason, her heart was beating fiercely. She looked at Jiang Ruan inquiringly, and that pair of charming bright eyes looked at her with a smile. It was clearly as warm as flowing water, but it was like looking at flowers through a fog, and the emotions within could not be clearly seen. She had come from a brothel, and had seen many different kinds of people, and was even more capable of understanding the hearts of people. However, she could not understand this little girl in front of her, who was just over ten years old.

"Eldest Miss really thinks that this concubine is qualified to be the mistress of the Jiang fu?" She heard her own slightly trembling voice.

Jiang Ruan smiled as she picked up the teacup in front of her, and took a shallow sip, "Why not?"

Hong Ying looked at her, and suddenly revealed a smile, "Eldest Miss is so flattering this concubine, this concubine does not know what to do. In fact, if Eldest Miss had not come to find this concubine today, this concubine would also have gone to meet Eldest Miss. "

Jiang Ruan smiled at her, and Hong Ying continued, "This concubine was chatting with Master yesterday, and he talked about the matter of the Li family's father and son. Eldest Miss also knows about the matter between Eldest Young Master Li and Second Miss. Eldest Young Master Li is like this now, presumably Prime Minister Li cannot tolerate Second Miss, but Master does not want to shed all pretense of cordiality with Prime Minister Li, so he wants Eldest Miss to replace Second Miss in marrying into the Li family. " After saying this, she carefully observed Jiang Ruan's expression, but saw that the expression on that bright and beautiful face had not changed, and the smile on her lips was still the same, as if she was wearing a perfect mask.

Jiang Ruan sighed softly, "Father dotes on Second Younger Sister so much, it really makes me envious."

Seeing this, Hong Ying said, "This concubine is also anxious, it was clearly Second Miss who caused this trouble, how can Eldest Miss apologize? Moreover, that Eldest Young Master Li is now considered a cripple, if Eldest Miss really marries over, it will certainly be unbearably painful. "

Jiang Ruan muttered to herself for a moment, then smiled at Hong Ying, "Thank you Fifth Yiniang for your advice, but it is difficult for me to interfere with Father's decision. If he has really made up his mind, as a daughter of the Jiang family, Ruan niang can only accept."

Hong Ying stared blankly, "Eldest Miss agrees to marry over?"

"I agree, Father agrees, I wonder if Li daren agrees?" Jiang Ruan smiled lightly and stood up, "There is not much time left, I should also return." Pausing, her gaze fell on the embroidery on the table, and she smiled, "Father dotes on Fifth Yiniang, so it is natural for Fifth Yiniang to care about Father. However, Ruan niang still has to remind Fifth Yiniang, if there are no children, Fifth Yiniang, Eldest Yiniang, and Second Yiniang are actually the same. " She smiled and finished the rest of her words, "If there are children, without status, then the fate of the children and the yiniang will be the same."

After Jiang Ruan left for a long time, Hong Ying was still sitting in a daze. Seeing this, the maidservant beside her cautiously asked, "Yiniang?"

Hong Ying waved her hand, her expression full of exhaustion, and said in a low voice, "What exactly does Eldest Miss want to do?"

In the capital's Jinying Wang fu, Ye Feng stood in front of the desk and said, "General Guan has sent back news that he will return to the court next month." Pausing, he continued, "When this subordinate went out on a mission today, I heard from my subordinates that there has been a large scale plundering of the surplus grain in the city recently. I am afraid that this is related to Eighth Highness, so I paid attention and inquired about it. It was done by the maidservant of Eldest Miss of the Jiang fu." He frowned, "But I do not know what their purpose is."

Xiao Shao turned around, his heroic eyebrows slightly raised, making that elegant and handsome face look a bit more stern, and said, "Continue to inquire. Pay attention to the movements in Li Dong fu. "

"Prime Minister Li?" Ye Feng was surprised, "Master wants to deal with him in advance?"

Xiao Shao shook his head, "The life of the eldest son of the Li family is at stake. This matter is related to the Jiang family, and the Jiang family does not want to incur enmity with the Li family. If my guess is correct, Jiang Quan should be making a move."

Ye Feng thought for a moment, "Behind the Jiang family is the Xiao family, and the Xiao family is also on the Eighth Prince's side. Perhaps the Eighth Prince will step in." After all, the Xiao family and the Li family were both rare resources, and Xuan Li would not let them go for nothing. He suddenly laughed, "I really don't know how the Eighth Prince feels when he finds out that there is a rebellion in his own nest. In short, the eldest son of the Li family has fallen into a difficult situation, and Second Miss Jiang has also done a good deed. By castrating Li Yang, no matter what, the Li family and the Jiang family will become enemies."

Xiao Shao did not correct Ye Feng's words. He recalled that day when Jiang Ruan had used a piece of broken porcelain to cut off Li Yang's thing without the slightest hesitation. She was clearly a young girl in the boudoir, but when she saw a man's lower body, she did not have the slightest trace of embarrassment. There was only indifference in her eyes, and the way she looked at Li Yang was as if she was looking at a dead pig waiting to be slaughtered.

Ever since he had been accepted into the Jinyi Guard at the age of ten, he had also walked step by step on blood. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he really would not have believed that a young girl in the boudoir could have a killer's gaze.

This eldest daughter of Jiang Quan, how did she raise her?

After a moment, Xiao Shao collected his thoughts and said, "I will make a trip to the palace."

In the northern part of the capital, the sound of firecrackers rang incessantly at the entrance of a large residence with three entrances. In front of the large vermilion doorpost, there were two lions baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. At the very top, there was a glittering golden plaque with a red flower tied to it.

It was the residence that the Emperor had bestowed upon the zhuangyuan.

Liu Furen was not more than thirty years old, but her face looked weather-beaten. Her hair was already mottled, as if she was fifty years old. Even so, she still wore a plain green robe embroidered with lotus flowers. Her hair was combed neatly, and her face was full of smiles as she handed out money to the crowd.

The four servant girls bestowed upon her by the Emperor also stood guard at the side with smiles on their faces. Many people offered money to congratulate her. Among them, there was no lack of former neighbors. This time, Liu Min was like a carp leaping over the dragon gate. From now on, the Liu family would be able to bring honor to their ancestors.

After handing out the money, Liu Furen asked the servant girl beside her, "Why hasn't Min 'er come out yet?"

The servant girl smiled and said, "Xu Min is tidying up in his room. This servant will go and urge him." Finished speaking, she turned around and left.

In the study room, Liu Min was looking at the painting hanging on the wall, lost in thought.

The courtyard bestowed upon him by the Emperor was spacious and luxurious. The study room was also more than twice as large as before. From now on, there would be enough bookshelves to store his books. However, at this time, he was somewhat absent-minded. Was all of this really what he wanted?

A few days ago, he suffered a theft in the Imperial College's study room. The letters he lost were the mysterious person's letters. Those letters had all disappeared without a trace, as if they had never been there. Liu Min asked the errand boy, but the errand boy also said he didn't know. However, the other things were not lost. He couldn't help but suspect that those letters were taken away by the mysterious person.

If it wasn't for the moonlight firefly painting in front of him, Liu Min would almost think that the past few days were an illusion and that the mysterious person was a character he had imagined.

He carefully looked at the painting in front of him. The lines were beautiful and unrestrained. Liu Min couldn't help but wonder what kind of person it was. He was used to having another person to discuss the arguments in the book with him. Now that the person had suddenly disappeared, he felt a little lonely.

"Young Master, Madam urges you to hurry over." The new servant girl looked at the handsome and elegant young man and slightly blushed.

Liu Min looked at the painting in front of him and said, "Let's go."

Two flowers bloomed, one on each side.

In the Eighth Prince's residence in the capital, Xuan Li put down the letter in his hand and slightly frowned.

The advisor behind him saw this and asked, "Your Highness, did something happen?"

Xuan Li glanced at the letter on the table and said, "Xia Hou fu sent a letter saying that there was a dispute with Prime Minister Li." He couldn't hide the surprise in his heart. Xia Cheng's letter said that Li Yang had been castrated in the Jiang fu. Now that Li Dong wanted to avenge Li Yang, he wouldn't let Xia Cheng's granddaughter Jiang Su Su off. In the letter, Xia Cheng said that Jiang Su Su had been framed, but he didn't say who the murderer was.

Xuan Li briefly explained the matter to Advisor Yu. The advisor frowned and thought for a while. "Your Highness, I'm afraid this is the work of someone with ulterior motives. Something has happened to Eldest Young Master Li, and Prime Minister Li and the Jiang family have become enemies. This means that Your Highness's subordinates are rebelling against each other. Their intentions are extremely sinister."

"Of course I know." Xuan Li said, "Li Dong knows that I can't leave him, and I don't want to lose the Xia family. Moreover, Minister Jiang now has some power in the court. If these two sides have a dispute, it will only be harmful to me."

"Could it be the Fifth Prince's side?" The advisor asked. "Recently, the Fifth Prince's voice in the court has been growing, and His Majesty also trusts him."

"I know Imperial Father's temperament very well." Xuan Li snorted coldly. "The higher Lao Wu jumps now, the worse he will fall in the future. I don't think that Lao Wu is smart enough to place people in the Jiang fu. "

"Then it's the Fourth Prince?" The advisor asked.

"On the surface, Lao Si doesn't seem to fight for anything, but we have to guard against him. I'm afraid that it's the Crown Prince. "

The advisor was startled. "The Crown Prince's words are immoral, and he doesn't seem to have any merit in politics. He's even more foolish and naive. Why would Your Highness be worried? "

"If it's just the Crown Prince, there's nothing to fear." Xuan Li narrowed his eyes. "I'm afraid that this is Imperial Father's intention."

"A few years ago, His Majesty still wanted to change the Crown Prince. I'm afraid that he has long been disgusted. Why would he do such a thing?" The advisor asked.

Xuan Li said, "I'm afraid it's just a smokescreen. Otherwise, look at how the Crown Prince has made countless enemies in the court for so many years. How can he still stand tall? If not for Imperial Father's secret instructions, I'm afraid that he would have been eaten up long ago."

"This …" The advisor cupped his hands. "This subordinate really can't understand His Majesty's intention."

Xuan Li looked at the advisor kneeling below with disgust. His tone was still gentle. "I don't blame you. Even I have been with Imperial Father for so many years, but I still can't understand what he's thinking."

The advisor thought about it and said, "In fact, if Your Highness wants to consolidate your power, there is another way. It would be better to form a marriage alliance with the Jiang family."

"The Jiang family?" Xuan Li raised his eyebrows.

The advisor cupped his hands. "Right now, what Your Highness needs the most is the power of the Xia family and the Li family. It's too obvious to form a marriage alliance with the Xia family. If you form a marriage alliance with the Jiang family, it's tantamount to roping in the Xia family. " He paused for a moment before continuing, "Moreover, the Jiang family's Miss is still young. You can first decide on a marriage alliance. If there are any changes in the future, it won't be too late to change your mind."

Xuan Li frowned. He recalled the rumors that had spread in the capital a few days ago that Jiang Furen had hired assassins to frame Eldest Miss, but had instead framed Second Miss. There was also the rumor that Jiang Chao had spent a lot of money at Bai Hua Lou but had no money to pay the bill. In the end, one of Jiang Chao's little fingers had been chopped off. Displeased, he said, "The Jiang fu is in a foul atmosphere. Moreover, the Second Miss of the Jiang fu currently has a bad reputation. How can I marry her? Wouldn't I be a joke to the whole world? "

"Your Highness," the advisor said, "Doesn't the Jiang fu still have a Eldest Miss? This Eldest Miss's birth mother is someone from General Zhao's fu. It's just a name. If Your Highness marries the Eldest Miss of the Jiang family, not only will you have a relationship with the Jiang fu and the Xia fu, you may even be able to establish a connection with General Zhao's fu. "

"That ignorant man Zhao Guang," Xuan Li said, "has always been on the Crown Prince's side. He won't easily surrender." As for Jiang Ruan, his mind replayed the night of the Lantern Festival, and the indifferent smile of the young lady in red on the boat. His heart suddenly clenched, and he felt very concerned.

"Now, it seems that a marriage alliance is the best method." The advisor continued to suggest, "If you are engaged to the Jiang family's Miss, no matter how dissatisfied Prime Minister Li is, he will not act rashly. Your Highness has sold such a favor to the Jiang family, and the Jiang and Xia families will do their best to assist Your Highness."

"What you said is correct." Xuan Li picked up the letter on the table again, "Perhaps I should seriously consider your words." In the letter, Xuan Li invited Xuan Li to the Xia Hou fu for a gathering. He thought for a moment, then said, "Someone, help me reply to Master Xia Hou's words. Just say that I have accepted the Marquis's invitation, and will pay a visit three days later."

When Master Xia Hou received the message from Xuan Li's attendant, he heaved a heavy sigh of relief. Xia Furen looked at him and asked anxiously, "What happened? Did His Eighth Highness agree? "

"He agreed." Master Xia Hou said to her, "Go and send a letter to the Jiang fu. Tell Yan 'er to bring Su Su and Chao' er to prepare and come over." After a pause, he added, "Tell her to bring that Jiang Ruan as well."

Xia Furen nodded, "Naturally. To actually disfigure Su Su, this Jiang Ruan really has the ability."

Master Xia Hou's eyes were full of darkness, "I have not told this matter to His Eighth Highness. His Eighth Highness must have thought that this matter was done by the Fifth Prince, and thus has some misgivings about forming a relationship with our Xia fu. Even so, Jiang Ruan cannot be left alive. Yan 'er has repeatedly miscalculated in her hands. I want to see what kind of demon or ghost this person is, to be so vicious at such a young age! "
