Chapter 121 How similar
You should know that these things were brought back by Jiang Lan, but Jiang Lan disliked these things as being too overbearing, so he gave them to me to destroy. At the beginning, I thought that these things were Jiang Lan's hard work, and I couldn't bear to destroy them completely, so I thought of putting them away and never seeing the light of day. I didn't expect that these things would still provoke some villains.
Fortunately, they only knew one of the two, but did not know the solution. Without the help of the second volume, even if they got the first volume, it would be useless. He just didn't expect that they would use it after so long. This made him more eager to get them back.
Otherwise, if the other prescriptions were cracked, the situation would be even more out of control. By then, even in the afterlife, he would not be able to face Jiang Lan.
"Where did you get this?"
Seeing Xu Yiyuan so anxious, Jiang Shuyu hurriedly told him the whole story. When she learned that it was the nanny beside Jiang Wanrong who took it out, Xu Yiyuan's eyes flashed with light. Does this mean that he is one step closer to finding it?
Seeing what Xu Yiyuan was thinking, Jiang Shuyu couldn't help but criticize him: "Master, I sent people to look for it, but Ruogu didn't have anything except this one recipe. If you want to find the first half of the forbidden book, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack!"
Xu Yiyuan felt unprecedentedly discouraged when he heard Jiang Shuyu say this. He naturally knew the difficulty involved, otherwise it would not have taken so long for him to have no clue. However, since he had some clues, he believed that one day he would be able to find out who was so bold as to know his every move so well.
"Forget it, now that things have come to this, I can only do my best!"
Seeing Xu Yiyuan's worried face, Jiang Shuyu could not help but lower her eyes and remain silent. The most important thing now was to observe Ruogu secretly. How could she have this recipe? Could it be that she was Concubine Yuan's person?
After all, she was found by Yuan Peishan for Jiang Wanrong, and she was from the palace. It turned out that Concubine Yuan had such connections. She really couldn't imagine why Yuan Peishan trusted her so much.
However, Jiang Shuyu quickly overturned this idea. After all, Jiang Wanrong's move would require Xiao Jinrui to take action. Even if Ruogu was 100% sure, if it was someone arranged by Concubine Yuan, Ruogu would not dare to be so bold.
From this, it can be seen that the person behind Ruogu is definitely not from the Yuan family, and Yuan Peishan was kept in the dark at this time. She didn't know that the mantis stalks the cicada, while the oriole is behind. The loyal servant she thought of herself was actually a spy arranged by others beside her. She was very curious about what ability Ruogu had that could convince Jiang Wanrong and her daughter.
But no matter what, at least now they have a common goal. As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. She doesn't mind giving Ruogu a helping hand. As for what happens next, she will also secretly observe Ruogu so that she can deal with it in time.
"Master, don't worry. I'm here. I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter and won't let you regret it for the rest of your life!"
Xu Yiyuan was deeply moved by Jiang Shuyu's previous words, but he didn't expect that he would be blocked by her next words. Seeing Xu Yi's face flushing, Xu Mufan couldn't help but chuckle with his hands covering his lips. Sure enough, his master would be furious when Jiang Shuyu was around. However, this did add a bit of noise to the quiet courtyard.
After much persuasion from Jiang Shuyu, Xu Yiyuan finally decided to hand over the remaining half of the book to Jiang Shuyu.
Xu Yiyuan's smile disappeared from his face. He looked at Jiang Shuyu seriously and said, "Your aunt once said that everything in this world is mutually reinforcing and mutually exclusive. If you use it well, even poison can become a remedy to save lives. I have never understood the mystery she was talking about. Now I will officially hand these things over to you for safekeeping. I hope you can understand her good intentions and save more people in need!"
Jiang Shuyu looked at the incomplete thing in her hand and couldn't help but feel a heavy weight. However, even so, she did not retreat in the slightest. After all, in this world, she had to believe in herself so that she could fight for a place for her family to settle down.
"Master, rest assured, Shuyu will definitely not disappoint your expectations of me and will retrieve the first volume!"
Xu Yiyuan nodded in satisfaction. This situation made him feel a little uncomfortable. He picked up the wine flask hanging on his waist and drank a lot. Only then did he feel better.
Jiang Shuyu couldn't help but look at Xu Mufan. They smiled at each other and then left together, leaving Xu Yiyuan some private space.
Xu Mufan looked at the determination on Jiang Shuyu's face and could not help but lower his eyes. He knew long ago that Jiang Shuyu was like a phoenix soaring in the sky. This small world was destined not to trap her, and she would definitely fly higher.
But his wish was very small, which was that when she was tired of flying, she could come back and enjoy this moment of peace.
"If you need me, just let me know. I'll always be by your side, just like before, and I promise to be there whenever you call!"
Seeing Xu Mufan's serious look, Jiang Shuyu couldn't help but smile, and then she said, "Of course, where I am, how can I miss you to take care of it? But you can't just leave it alone when the time comes! After all, we have an agreement."
Thinking of the jokes they had made in the past, Xu Mufan couldn't help but smile, then looked at Jiang Shuyu and said seriously: "Of course!"
Jiang Shuyu nodded slightly, and then got into the carriage with the help of Yuqiu, watching Xu Mufan wave goodbye.
"I'm leaving now. If you have anything, come find me at the General's Mansion!"
Xu Mufan nodded slightly, and then stood there watching Jiang Shuyu's carriage disappear little by little, until there was no trace of the carriage anymore. Then Xu Mufan walked back.
Xu Yiyuan looked at Xu Mufan coming back and couldn't help but look at him and said, "That girl went back?"
Listening to Xu Yiyuan's words, Xu Mufan nodded, and then quietly cleaned up the snacks on the table.
Xu Mufan couldn't help but sigh when he saw him like this. This scene was very similar to what he had experienced before. If he had been able to express his feelings at the time, would there have been another possibility? But now it was too late to say anything. He didn't want Xu Mufan to follow his old path and feel the same helplessness as him.
"If you can't let go, you can just tell her how you feel. Why bother with all this useless work?"
Listening to Xu Yiyuan's words, Xu Mufan paused, a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes. He naturally knew what Xu Yiyuan meant, but he was different from his master.
