Lord Xiahou's eyes were filled with gloom: "I didn't tell His Highness the Eighth Prince of this matter, His Highness must have thought that the matter was done by the Fifth Prince, and he would have scruples to win relations with my Xia Mansion. Even so, Jiang Ruan couldn't stay , Yan'er has repeatedly miscalculated in her hands, I want to see what kind of monster this person is, he is so vicious at such a young age!"

At noon on the second day, Xia Yan took Jiang Susu to Ruanju.

Jiang Susu wore a pure white veil, covering the face below tightly, only revealing a pair of eyes.

Xia Yan said: "Ruan'er, tomorrow we are going to your grandfather's house, you should tidy up, maybe your grandmother hasn't seen you for a long time, I'm afraid she misses you very much."

Lianqiao showed a disdainful look behind her, Xia Yan said that she was affectionate, but they were Jiang Susu's grandparents after all, so what did she have to do with Jiang Ruan.

"Naturally, since Second Sister and Second Brother had such a big incident, it's good to go out to relax." Jiang Ruan smiled. Hearing her words, Jiang Susu and Xia Yan's expressions froze.

"Then don't bother Ruan'er." Xia Yan said softly, "I'll go and see your second brother. I'm afraid he was framed for this matter. He is also a child with a hard life."

"Mother needs to persuade the second brother well. It is really worrying that the second brother will be hit repeatedly after failing." Jiang Ruan said with concern.

Xia Yan paused again, and forced a smile: "Niang Ruan is so concerned, your second brother will be very pleased to know." After speaking, he stood up: "Mother won't stay long, Susu, let's go .”

After Xia Yan's mother and daughter left, Zisu looked at their backs and said, "Girl, why are you going to Xiahou's mansion again so suddenly, I'm afraid there may be some accidents."

Although Zi Su has a correct mind, she is not a stupid person. Jiang Ruan shook his head: "I just want to take advantage of Xiahou's mansion."

Just as he was talking, Luzhu opened the door and walked in: "Girl, Young Master Gu ordered someone close to him to send you a letter, saying that General Guan will return to Beijing next month, and there may be some clues about the young master's affairs after a while."

Jiang Ruan's eyes lit up, and she smiled slightly: "This is good news. Next month is not too late."

"If the young master comes back, the master will definitely not treat you like this." Jiang Quan treats Jiang Ruan like this now because Jiang Ruan is just a daughter, and Jiang Xinzhi is the eldest son of his younger brother after all. Little finger, Jiang Quan thinks he will pay more attention to Jiang Xinzhi, and Jiang Xinzhi will also protect Jiang Ruan from being bullied by others.

"That's not for sure." Jiang Ruan smiled coldly: "Brother and I are thorns in the eyes of the people in Jiang's family. Don't reveal any news about your elder brother to outsiders."

Zisu and Luzhu looked at each other, but seeing that Jiang Ruan had frowned slightly, his expression was unprecedentedly solemn.

In her last life, she received the news of Jiang Xinzhi's death in battle when she was in Zhuangzi. At that time, the Xia family's status in the court was gradually rising, but now that she thinks about it carefully, there are hidden stories everywhere. It is not impossible for Xia Yan to eradicate Jiang Xinzhi secretly for the sake of Jiang Chao's status. Perhaps Jiang Quan even knew about it, but firstly he has no father-son affection for Jiang Xinzhi, and secondly, he has to rely on the power of the Xia family. , so it is very possible to just default.

Thinking of her gentle elder brother, Jiang Ruan clenched her fists. If Jiang Xinzhi was still alive, no matter how hard she tried, she would have to protect the life of her close relative, no matter what the price.

But Xiahou Mansion? Her eyes turned cold, some people had been gone for a long time.

"Luzhu, you and Zisu have stayed in the mansion for the past few days, pay attention to the movement in the mansion, especially that of Fifth Yiniang." Jiang Ruan said: "Lianqiao, follow me and call Shuxiang in."

"Scholarly," Lian Qiao frowned, "Girl, this girl is not in the right mind, I'm afraid she might be in some trouble."

"What I want is her trouble." Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: "Go, I have my own arrangements for this matter."

...

On the second day, Shuxiang and Lianqiao were waiting outside early in the morning. Compared with before, Shuxiang looked a little cowardly. When she looked up at Jiang Ruan, there was a touch of fear in her eyes. Jiang Ruan looked at the front of her. It was really hard for this maid who bowed her head and bowed her knees to connect with the gentle and confident maid in her memory who always appeared in front of her with a caring face.

She put on her coat and said with a smile, "Let's go."

Jiang Susu and Xia Yan were already waiting in the carriage, Jiang Ruan went in to take a look, and found that Jiang Li and Jiang Dan were also there. Jiang Chao was sitting in another carriage, and Jiang Li looked at Jiang Susu's veiled face full of sarcasm, but because of Xia Yan's presence, she didn't dare to say anything more. Jiang Dan was locked in the innermost part of the carriage, looking very uncomfortable, seeing Jiang Ruan coming up, she smiled timidly at her, Jiang Ruan smiled back, and sat down beside Xia Yan.

Xia Yan looked at her and smiled: "This is also the first time for Ruan'er to go to your grandfather's house. The last time your grandfather saw you was five years ago, and you became a big girl in a blink of an eye."

Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: "I also miss my grandfather very much."

The first time she met Master Xiahou was when Zhao Mei passed away. She knelt in front of the mourning hall and was completely naked, watching the kind-hearted old man approach Jiang Quan for a chat. It didn't take long for Xia Yan to become the main wife.

Later, when she went to the palace, she often saw Lord Xia and his family members at palace banquets, and the shamelessness of the Xia family was vividly remembered. Back then, Xia Jiaojiao, the granddaughter of the Xia family, entered the palace with her and was sealed as a beauty. In the end, Xia Jiaojiao got the favor. Although she didn't know how true or false the favor was, Xia Jiaojiao used her power to bully her a lot. I only remember that when she was thrown into prison in the end, Xia Jiaojiao was taken back to the mansion by Lord Xia in good health.

As soon as Jiang Ruan's words came out, Xia Yan couldn't help but feel a chill, the chill came for no reason, she looked carefully at Jiang Ruan's eyes again, and couldn't figure out the meaning of her words, so she smiled and said: "Did Ruan'er ever Have you thought about what gift to give?"

"Gift?" Jiang Ruan looked at her puzzled.

Xia Yan laughed: "You child, don't you know that you have to bring some gadgets as gifts when you go to your grandfather's house? But I don't blame you. You have been in Zhuangzi for a long time, and no one has taught you these ways of the world."

Jiang Li smiled mockingly, but Jiang Dan remained silent.

"What mother said is," Jiang Ruan smiled: "I will be educated today, and I will come to the door in the future, so I won't make people laugh." She paused, and continued: "But now I haven't prepared a gift, I don't know how many sisters What are you preparing for?"

"I prepared embroidered veils for everyone." Jiang Susu was covered with a veil, but her eyes were as beautiful as ever: "Although it is a bit simple, it was sewn by myself after all. Put your heart on it."

Jiang Li didn't want to answer, but she was afraid of Xia Yan in her heart, and she wanted to show off, so she proudly said: "Mine is a fragrance powder brought back from the palace. After applying a little, the skin is extremely fair, and no scars can be seen."
