Chapter 12: Search (1)
Or is it someone sent by Aunt Xu? Ji Wan gritted his teeth and secretly hated his carelessness, it must have been Ji Wei who suffered a loss from her during the day, and Aunt Xu felt that she was threatened and wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of her?
Thinking like this, there is something strange in my heart, although this person is dressed in night clothes, but his demeanor is extraordinary, not like an outlaw, with Aunt Xu's ability, I am afraid that she will not be able to invite such a person, there is no such thing in her previous life, and she is a little undecided.
"Who sent you? What do you want to do? What have you done to my maids? Ji Guan's voice was a little hoarse, and although he was worried at the moment, he could only force himself to calm down.
This person can still give her water, for the time being, there should be no harm to her, and it is useless to be afraid, now there is no one to help her, she must save herself!
"How much she has given you, I will give you double." Ji Wan asked tentatively, his eyes fixed on his face, trying to see his expression clearly.
Unfortunately, the man ignored her, his brows did not furrow, and the dagger in his hand made an elegant arc in the air and clung to her neck, as long as she moved slightly, the blade would cut through her skin.
"Don't scream, or I'll want to see if your voice is fast or my knife is fast." The man said lightly.
The cold touch made Ji Wan shiver, Ji Wan looked at his indifferent eyes and knew that what he said was true, but if she made a slight move, he would definitely kill her without hesitation.
She can't die yet, God finally gave her a chance to start over, how can she be willing to take revenge before she gets revenge! The scenes before his death in his previous life slipped through his mind, and Ji Wan only felt that his eyes were astringent.
"You take the knife away, as long as you don't hurt me, I won't scream." Ji Wan grimaced and tried to calm himself down.
The man looked at her with an inquiring look in his eyes, as if surprised by her composure.
Only then did he look at the girl in front of him, a small one curled up at the head of the bed, but twelve or thirteen years old, with a delicate and small goose egg face that was almost transparent, thin eyebrows, and pupils as black as ink without any light, but full of despair and—hatred?
The dagger in his hand unconsciously loosened a little, and the corners of his lips under the face towel pouted with a meaningful arc.
"You're not afraid I'll kill you?" The clear tone, as if a jewel had fallen to the ground, was obviously an inquiry but without any tone.
"You can't leave if you kill me, why don't we make a deal, you let me go, I can help you leave, just because I've never seen you." Ji Wan's face was calm, and she adjusted her sitting posture and covered the quilt firmly, she was no longer as nervous as she was at the beginning, if this person wanted to kill her, she would have done it a long time ago.
Ji Wan had already thought of a countermeasure at this time, and his heart was a little calm, and when his eyes wandered, he saw that he was slightly loosened before he slowly exhaled: "I'm thirsty, pour me a glass of water." ”
The man's eyebrows were slightly raised, and his expression could no longer be described as surprised. Did he say yes?
Seeing her pale face, he silently put away the knife, and the ghost envoy poured a glass of water and handed it to her, although his attitude was very stiff, the tea was not spilled at all.
"How can I trust you?" The man asked with interest, how could a mere prime minister's mansion trap him, but he was a little curious about her proposal.
Ji Guan calmly took the tea and drank it without a trace of hesitation, and after a glass of water, his dry throat was finally relieved, and his head was not so dizzy.
"The Prime Minister's Mansion is heavily guarded, without me, you can't get out, you have heard the voices outside, I'm afraid someone will break in soon, and you don't have much time to think about it."
Ji Guan's whole person relaxed at this moment, and he didn't notice his abnormality.
"I can promise you." The man stared at her for a moment before speaking in a cold tone.
Then he kicked something black on the ground: "You smell of drugs in this house, and this man was there when I came." ”
As soon as I came in, I saw a black shadow tiptoeing towards the bed, but he happened to be stunned.
Ji Wan was stunned, she was too nervous just now and didn't pay attention to anything else, only then did she see that there was still a person lying on her stomach under the edge of the bed, but the candle flame was too dark to see her face clearly, this person should have been sent by Aunt Xu, and the noise outside was probably also her handiwork, Ji Wan knew what Aunt Xu had as long as she thought about it a little, and her face was extremely ugly.
"Thank you." Ji Wan was a little apologetic, if he hadn't come to the rescue, she wouldn't have been good tonight, Aunt Xu would definitely bite her tightly, she was too self-righteous and thought everything too simple, but it was not known who killed the deer!
In this case, she has to collect some interest first, so that some people don't get too rampant.
"Can you go out first, I want to change my clothes." Ji Wan said lightly.
The man was slightly stunned, his body stiffened for a moment, and the handsome face under the black scarf suddenly rose a few suspicious dark reds, and he quickly picked up the person on the ground and turned around to stand behind the screen.
"That mahogany cabinet inside has a mezzanine to hide people." Ji Wan casually put on a moon-white coat, walked outside, and stopped slightly when he passed by the screen.
This cabinet was specially made by her grandfather and given to her, and the secrets in it are only known to her except her grandfather, Ji Wan sighed slightly, and his long eyelashes covered a trace of gloom in his eyes.
"Master, no, Miss is still sick, take someone in to search like this, how will our Miss gain a foothold in the mansion in the future, if it spreads outside, won't it force our Miss to death?"
Before Ji Wan opened the door, he heard Yan Bing's hoarse shout, and the corners of his mouth pulled up a sneer, her cold father didn't care about her reputation or not.
After getting his appearance done, Ji Wan pushed open the door and walked out.
The courtyard was brightly lit and full of people, on both sides were families and guards holding torches, and in the middle stood a middle-aged man dressed in fine clothes, with a white face and a little beard, who was her father Ji An. On the left and right sides stood Aunt Xu and Aunt Xiang, the fifth lady Ji Rong followed Ji Wei with a flattering face, and Aunt Bai and the third lady Ji Fu stood quietly behind.
"Miss, why did you come out?" Yan Bing suddenly saw Ji Wan and was stunned for a while.
Ji Wan saw that her face was covered with tears, and her hair bun was scattered, her heart softened, and Wen Sheng asked her to go aside to rest first.
To appease Yan Bing, Ji Wan asked lightly when Ji An saw a salute. "I don't know what happened when my father brought everyone to his daughter's boudoir late at night."
The girl was dressed in a moon white magnolia dark patterned Luo skirt, standing quietly in front of the door, her thin body was straight, her delicate face was expressionless, and it made people a little afraid for no reason.
