Chapter 817 Someone is having an affair with a foreign man, investigate!
Mr. Jiang had an attendant by his side, and Jiang Shuxue often asked him for favors.
Now that Master Jiang has gone to sleep, the attendant leaned against a pillar under the eaves, yawning wearily.
Jiang Shuxue picked up a small stone and threw it in front of the attendant.
Just as the attendant was about to start cursing, he saw Jiang Shuxue wave to him from a distance.
The current Jiang Shuxue is no longer the high and mighty young lady she once was. It's bad enough that her false identity was exposed, but the fact that she has lost the master's favor is the most fatal thing, which means she is destined to never be able to turn her life around.
So the attendant frowned slightly, then looked away, pretending not to see anything.
Jiang Shuxue felt a chill run down her spine.
The coldness of human relationships cannot be more pronounced than this.
People who used to rush over like lapdogs at her mere wave now avoid her like the plague.
Jiang Shuxue had no choice but to open the handkerchief, revealing the jewelry inside, which she then dazzled in the moonlight.
The attendant then perked up, looked around, and quickly approached Jiang Shuxue.
"The second young lady is currently in solitary confinement. It might not be appropriate for her to sneak out like this."
Jiang Shuxue sneered inwardly. Clearly, they coveted the money, yet they pretended to be law-abiding.
These people are disgusting, one after another.
"I want you to do something. You can take half of these valuables first. Once the task is done, I will give you the other half."
Upon seeing that the portion was indeed quite large, the attendant's face broke into a smile.
"Please give your orders, Second Miss."
Jiang Shuxue whispered a plan, and her attendant's expression changed.
"I'm afraid doing this isn't a good idea, what if—"
"I'm giving you so much so that you can overcome this psychological hurdle without anyone finding out."
The attendant stared at the jewelry, swallowed hard, and made a gesture as if to receive it.
"I'll make the arrangements right away, but we need to wait for the right time and not act rashly."
Jiang Shuxue gave half of the jewelry to the other party.
"You must do it well, otherwise, as a young lady of the Jiang family, I still have a way to live, but you only have one way to die."
Jiang Shuxue sneaked over to the vicinity of Jiang Shulan's courtyard. At this time, Jiang Shulan was still awake and practicing calligraphy under the lamp. Her strokes were still a bit clumsy, but she was very focused and elegant.
The current Jiang Shulan is completely different from before. She exudes the air of a noble young lady, as if she has been reborn. In addition, she is extremely beautiful, making it impossible for people to take their eyes off her.
For Jiang Shuxue, Jiang Shulan had taken everything away from her. She now wished she could rush into the study, slash the other woman's face with a knife, and tear her to pieces with her own hands.
However, it will happen soon. Soon, Jiang Shulan's reputation will be ruined. Will the Qiao family still want her then? Her father will also confine her to the courtyard. The cold words, scornful looks, and spittle that she is suffering now, Jiang Shulan will also suffer.
Looking at the brightly decorated and festive courtyard, Jiang Shuxue couldn't help but smile.
Qiao Dameng would come back early every day, as he would personally arrange many things.
Qiao Lian'er wrapped colored lights around the eaves and pillars, and secretly buried a power source underground.
When you turn on the switch at night, these colorful lights will illuminate the yard, making it beautiful and dazzling.
Everyone was surprised.
"This is a special kind of luminous stone," Qiao Lian'er explained to everyone.
No one intended to ask any more questions; whatever Lian'er said was the truth.
The children were very happy, running around under the colorful lights, saying that the stars had fallen from the sky.
Qiao Li curiously pulled one down, only to find the light dimmed instantly. He pouted and started to cry. He held up the colored light for Qiao Lian'er to see.
"Auntie Lian, the stone is broken."
"Don't worry, Auntie has things that light up." Qiao Lian'er bought a bunch of light-up toys from her space and gave one to each of the children.
Mu Ranxi and Qiao Yue each carried a pair of glowing butterfly wings, while Qiao Li and Qiao Su each held a gleaming sword.
In the festively decorated courtyard, the children were laughing and chatting happily, which melted the hearts of the adults.
As the Qiao family's descendants multiplied, Grandma Qiao and Grandpa Qiao, as great-grandmother and great-grandfather, felt warmth and comfort in their hearts.
In a place like the capital, enjoying wealth and prosperity, watching their descendants flourish, and experiencing the joys of family life, they are truly blessed and wish they could live another hundred years.
Qiao Dameng approached Qiao Lian'er, feeling a little awkward and unsure how to begin.
"Big Brother Meng, what are you going to do?" Qiao Lian'er asked.
Qiao Dameng glanced at the children playing: "Lian'er, do you have any light-up objects suitable for adults?"
Qiao Lian'er realized: "Brother Da Meng, you're going to give this to Sister Xiao Lan, right?"
"Yes."
Qiao Lian'er carefully selected a carousel music box from the space. She pressed the start switch, and the carousel began to rotate up and down, playing melodious tunes. The top cover and base were both designed to be illuminated.
Da Meng's eyes lit up; this thing had instantly captured his heart. If he gave it to Xiao Lan, she would be very happy.
Qiao Lian'er gave him several more pairs of batteries and taught him how to install and use them.
"The sickle is so good." Qiao Dameng said excitedly, holding the carousel music box.
A few days later, it was his turn to rest. He took the music box and went to the Jiang family.
Today's lesson has ended, and the teacher has left Jiang Shulan's courtyard.
Jiang Shulan reviewed the material, but there was one part she didn't quite understand, so she fell into deep thought.
There seemed to be some commotion outside, which startled her little white cat, who hissed and meowed a few times. She put down her book and left the study.
In the yard, the little white cat was curled up in a corner, its pupils dilated, its fur standing on end, staring in one direction, maintaining a defensive posture, still shaken.
Jiang Shulan picked up the little white kitten: "What's wrong?"
This little white cat is always very docile and doesn't get angry easily.
"I don't know. It was just licking its fur on the windowsill, and then it jumped down and became like this." The old woman also found it strange.
The two servants searched in the direction the white cat was staring at, but found nothing.
"It's alright, it's alright, little white cat." Jiang Shulan carried the little white cat into the study, giving instructions as she went.
"Find something that Xiaobai likes to eat."
A shadow seemed to appear on the windowsill, but she wasn't sure if it was a hallucination. It vanished in an instant.
Jiang Shulan quickly followed, but the place was empty and deserted.
It was probably because of the little white kitten that she became suspicious.
The old woman outside said, "Miss, the third young master of the Qiao family has arrived and is waiting for you in the east warm pavilion of the master's courtyard."
Since the two were not yet married, Qiao Dameng could not visit Jiang Shulan's courtyard in private.
"Okay, I'll be right there." Jiang Shulan carried Xiaobai out, intending to introduce Qiao Dameng to her.
Then I saw a group of people coming from the other end of the garden.
"I heard that someone in the manor is having an affair with a man outside the household. The master has ordered us to investigate this thoroughly."
