Chapter 147 The visitor is a guest
When the news reached Jiang Hongtai's ears, he was stunned for a moment, and then put the matter behind him.
For him, Jiang Xinxue's existence was undoubtedly a reminder of the embarrassing things he had done. Now that the Fang family had disappeared from this world, he no longer had to live with the bad reputation. He felt a rare sense of relief.
Hearing that the Fang family was burned down by a fire, Jiang Shuyu could not help but be stunned for a moment. Although she had no feelings for the Fang family, the fire was too strange. Not to mention that the Fang family lived in a downtown area, even if the fire only burned the courtyard of Fang's father and son, it made people very confused.
Could it be that the Fang family father and son committed so many evil things that even God couldn't stand it anymore and punished them? However, this explanation doesn't make sense.
Furthermore, she heard that Jiang Xinxue also died in the fire. Based on her understanding of Jiang Xinxue, she would not die so accidentally.
Although the government has verified that Jiang Xinxue's body has been found and her clothes and jewelry have confirmed that it is her, she still does not believe that Jiang Xinxue is inside.
Thinking of Jiang Xinxue's ability in her previous life, Jiang Shuyu couldn't help but lower her eyes. As long as she didn't find out where Jiang Xinxue was, she would be worried. If she was still alive and hiding in the dark, it would be really hard to guard against her!
Thinking of this, Jiang Shuyu couldn't help but look at Jinshu and ordered:
"Go there yourself. Jiang Xinxue has a scar on her left wrist. She cut it herself when she couldn't stand Jiang Wanrong's beatings. If the person who died was really Jiang Xinxue, then you can tell."
Thinking of what happened at the beginning, Jiang Shuyu couldn't help but frown. She saw her committing suicide and was frightened by her behavior. She hurriedly asked someone to rescue her and listened to her talk about their similar fate.
I couldn't help but empathize with the hurt she had suffered, so I later protected her behind my back, shared any good things with her, and even believed her words, thinking that Ruan's kindness to me was just out of ulterior motives, and gradually became alienated from Ruan and her son.
Now thinking back on all this, Jiang Shuyu couldn't help but feel regretful. Why was she so fooled by her at that time? This time, she would definitely not be fooled by her little tricks again.
"Yes! I'll go check it out right away!"
Seeing the worry in Jiang Shuyu's eyes, Jinshu's eyes flashed with doubt. She was just a little concubine's daughter, why was the girl so wary of her? However, Jinshu did not ask any more questions, and quickly agreed, then turned and left.
Yu Lan watched Jin Shu leave in a hurry, and was very confused in her heart. However, she also knew her young lady's current temperament, so she naturally did not ask too many questions. Seeing Jiang Shuyu sitting by the window and staring, Yu Lan hurriedly stepped forward and said:
"Miss, Second Miss Xie is here, and she's clamoring to see you. Seeing her like that, I asked her to wait in the front hall. Otherwise, I'd like to send someone to inform Xie's residence. Such a commotion is really disrespectful and it would be terrible if she hurts you again!"
Listening to Yu Lan's words, Jiang Shuyu's eyes flashed with doubt, and she couldn't help but wonder who the second daughter of the Xie family was. After a while, she looked at Yu Lan and confirmed:
"The second daughter of the Xie family? Xie Baoying?"
Seeing Jiang Shuyu's puzzled look, Yu Lan quickly said, "Isn't that her? In Kyoto, everyone calls her a little firecracker, who can catch fire at any time.
No, she heard the rumor from somewhere that Prince Jing was being harassed by a girl, so she came to him.
Yuqiu had naturally heard of Xie Baoying's name, and had heard that His Royal Highness Prince Jing was very tolerant of her. Knowing that she was the one who was looking for trouble, her eyes were full of worry. She immediately looked at Jiang Shuyu and said worriedly:
"Miss, why don't you just not go over there! I heard that Second Miss Xie has been practicing martial arts with General Xie since she was a child. If she accidentally hurts the girl, what will happen? Second Miss Xie will naturally go back if she can't find the girl."
Seeing the worried expressions of Yu Lan and the others, Jiang Shuyu couldn't help but feel helpless. Not to mention Xie Baoying's identity, even considering that she came to her house in person, she couldn't be so rude. As the saying goes, guests are guests, so there is no reason for her to hide and avoid them. If she said it out loud, even if she was right, she would be caught in a dilemma.
Moreover, although Xie Baoying has a hot temper, she is straightforward and has a clear distinction between love and hate. When her elder sister married Xie Yian in her previous life, she was naturally envied by others.
They didn't dare to slander Xie Yian in front of her, so they insulted her in front of her elder sister. For this, she was insulted by many noble ladies.
Xie Baoying did not hesitate to offend everyone and beat up the person who took the lead in insulting the elder sister to protect her. From then on, they did not dare to talk about it openly in front of the elder sister.
Even considering their past relationship, she couldn't turn Xie Baoying away, not to mention that her elder sister was already engaged to the Xie family. As the saying goes, you can't avoid the fifteenth day even if you can avoid it. She hadn't done anything to let her down, so why should she avoid her?
"Let's go! There's no point in keeping our guests waiting!"
"But, Miss, Miss Xie doesn't play by the rules!..." Yu Qiu couldn't help but emphasize it again and again, hoping that Jiang Shuyu could consider it.
Seeing Yuqiu and the other two's worried expressions, Jiang Shuyu had no choice but to go back and get the medicinal powder she had researched. Although she had some feelings for Xie Baoying, if she was really arrogant and unreasonable, she would not indulge her bad habits. She then looked at the two of them and said:
"That's all right!"
Yuqiu and the other girl couldn't help but look at each other, and then they breathed a sigh of relief. Although they didn't know what the girl was tinkering with every day, since it was made by the girl, naturally no one would dare to underestimate it. No matter what, this is in the general's mansion, and I think Miss Xie would not dare to be too presumptuous!
The two of them just breathed a sigh of relief, but they didn't know that Jiang Shuyu had just arrived at the front hall and hadn't walked in when a whip came towards her, accompanied by the sound of rustling wind. It is conceivable that if the whip landed on her face, it would be a very painful sight.
Yuqiu and the others' hearts were in their throats at this moment, fearing that Xie Baoying's whip would fall on Jiang Shuyu's face.
Fortunately, Jiang Shuyu sensed the danger and dodged in time, thus escaping the disaster. Seeing that Jiang Shuyu was unharmed, Yuqiu and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Their legs couldn't help but feel weak, and they quickly stood in front of Jiang Shuyu, looking at Xie Baoying and scolding:
"Second Miss Xie, this is the General's Mansion, not a place to act wildly. It's inappropriate for Second Miss Xie to act recklessly here!"
