Chapter 169: Chapter 114 Learn from Your Second Sister

"What did you say?"

Jiang Yi’s captivating eyes slightly narrowed, a cold light flashing from the slits. Illuminated by the carriage’s lights, the woman’s pretty face bore the usual sternness and disdain.

Jiang Shouzhong spoke solemnly, "I’m just curious."

The woman stared coldly at him, her face suddenly breaking into a smile as if ice and snow had melted in an instant.

"Do you want me?"

Jiang Yi lazily leaned against the wall of the carriage, her eyes curved like crescents. The hazy, intoxicating look in her eyes was reminiscent of drunkenness, her voice exceptionally soft yet sending shivers down one’s spine, "If Master Jiang fancies this old yellow-faced woman of mine, feel free to take me away."

Jiang Shouzhong felt an inexplicable chill down his back and dared not joke any further, asserting seriously, "I’ll owe you a gift for now, I haven’t thought of anything yet. As for Miss Xiahe, she’ll follow me for the time being. I plan to deal with Nalan Xie, and I need a skilled assistant."

Jiang Yi’s lips tightened, putting aside her teasing thoughts and spoke indifferently, "Although Nalan Xie is a dog of the Luo Family, his background is not to be underestimated, not to mention he’s also a member of the Yin Yang Sect. You are already at odds with the Luo Family, why trouble yourself with more complications."

Jiang Shouzhong’s eyes grew cold, his fist closing gently, "I don’t want to create so much trouble, but I have to ensure that I’m not the sheep waiting to be slaughtered. Nalan Xie is actually very narrow-minded; once he realizes there’s no benefit to be had, he will tear off his hypocritical facade to reveal his bloodthirsty fangs. I don’t want to wait for him to come after me. Given the current situation, his family background doesn’t matter anymore."

Jiang Yi sighed, "Living is truly hard."

Jiang Shouzhong said with annoyance, "For someone like you to say such words is really ironic."

"Am I not just pitying Master Jiang?" Jiang Yi blinked and said with a smile, "But I am indeed curious about something, and I believe others are curious too."

Jiang Shouzhong replied, "You want to ask why I’m so familiar with the secret chamber, don’t you."

Jiang Yi nodded lightly.

The entire process of looking for the secret chamber, Jiang Mo moved as if he was in his own home, without any hesitation. If it were anyone else, they wouldn’t be able to find such a well-hidden chamber.

There was only one possibility, Xichu Pavilion had a mole.

So Jiang Yi was curious, why the mole decided to help Jiang Shouzhong, and who was it?

Jiang Shouzhong stroked his chin, "Actually, it was a guess."

"Hehe."

Jiang Yi’s lips curled slightly.

The man didn’t want to talk, and she wasn’t the type to insist on questioning.

The lady stretched lazily, yawning lightly, "Accompanying Master Jiang for an entire night has indeed made me tired; I won’t see you out."

As the lady stretched, the brocaded gown on her body tightened slightly with the movement, unintentionally revealing the curves of her waist, hips, and even her legs, briefly glimpsed before vanishing, indescribably charming.

Compared to Ran Qingchen or the four sisters Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, Jiang Yi’s figure tended toward voluptuousness.

But compared to Jinxiu’s plumpness, hers seemed a bit more slender yet more rounded.

Neither too plump nor too thin, it was precisely this subtle richness that gave her an indescribable sense of fullness, perfected by moderation.

All in all, she was very suitable to be on top of.

"You better behave these next few days and not stir up trouble," Jiang Yi kindly reminded, "Until we know what’s happening on the imperial court side, the people from Xichu Pavilion won’t dare to touch you."

Jiang Shouzhong nodded, then hopped off the carriage after it had stopped.

Xia He silently followed behind him.

"Master Jiang..." Jiang Yi suddenly lifted the curtain, her distinctively black and white apricot eyes glancing at Qiuye, the corners of her mouth lifting slightly, "Qiuye’s injuries are almost healed. Among the four sisters, her cultivation is the highest. Why not let her replace Xia He and follow you? She could be of even better assistance to you."

Standing beside the carriage, Qiuye bit her cherry lips, bowing her head, her fingers subconsciously clutching at her clothes.

Jiang Shouzhong laughed, "No need, in a couple of days I still need to visit Lady Ran’s residence, last time Lady Ran said she wanted to make a pair of shoes for Miss Xiahe. Since I have promised, I naturally have to go."

Jiang Shouzhong was slightly nervous.

Now that Xia He’s Life Pearl had been lost by him, her only hope for survival was to stay close to him; he could only make up this excuse, otherwise, this woman might indeed force a change of guards.

Hearing about Lady Ran, Jiang Yi’s face revealed a glint of complexity.

"Alright then."

Jiang Yi didn’t say anything more, signaling Dong Xue to drive the carriage.

Qiuye, however, looked rather downcast.

Watching the carriage disappear into the distance, Jiang Shouzhong asked Xia He, who was quiet, "Your sisters haven’t discovered that your Life Pearl is gone, have they?"

Xia He shook her head lightly.

Jiang Shouzhong breathed a sigh of relief, "That’s good, I hope we can find a solution soon."

"Jiang Mo!"

At that moment, a pleasant shout came from afar.

The night breeze blew the woman’s azure skirt, unfolding quietly like a blooming blue lotus.

It was Ran Qingchen.

Ran Qingchen walked out of the dark alley, glanced at the direction where the carriage had departed, and approached Jiang Shouzhong, "I thought you’d wait for me outside Xichu Pavilion, but after looking around, I found you had already left."

The woman had arrived early but did not show herself after seeing Jiang Yi was there.

Xia He took the initiative to walk away, giving the two space to talk.

Jiang Shouzhong scratched his head apologetically, "I thought you would stay and handle official duties, so I didn’t wait for you."

Ran Qingchen stood on her tiptoes, her actions carrying a touch of playful charm, and said with a smile, "Certainly I need to stay and handle official duties, but I was worried that the people from Xichu Pavilion would seek revenge on you, so I thought to protect you first."

Jiang Shouzhong pointed to Xia He in the distance, "I have a bodyguard."

"Hmm, so I’ll just talk to you for a moment and then head back," she said.

Ran Qingchen stepped up to the man with a hint of regret, "I’m sorry, Jiang Mo, maybe I shouldn’t have taken you to see Mr. Yuan."
