Chapter 54: Striking the Grass and Startling the Snake
As soon as he heard this, Jiang Yushui felt sweeter in his heart.
Her good brother really didn't hurt in vain.
Jiang Qiushui scratched his chin, "That's good." ”
……
There are a lot of people in the suburbs today, although Xia Hao is not favored, he is always a prince, and he has a good appearance, and his every move is naturally watched.
I don't know who said that he leaked his mouth, and soon the news came out in the capital that the seventh prince Xia Hao's pursuit of the pearl of the richest man in Jiang Mansion was rejected.
Therefore, walking on the street, there are always complicated eyes of the people falling on him, and in comparison, the noble children in the academy are much more polite, and there are not a few people who make fun of him, of course, there are also ridiculers.
Xia Hao didn't even have the power to ignore it, so he could only smile and accept this without care, but the hand in his sleeve was clenched into a fist.
Recalling Jiang Yushui's attitude that day, Xia Hao couldn't figure it out anyway.
Why did she reject him alone thousands of miles away?
Someone comforted him.
"Xiuzhu, don't be too discouraged, think about it, it's not an ordinary woman, it's the most beautiful beauty in the whole capital, it's normal to be arrogant."
Another person said: "It's not necessarily arrogant, I heard that their girls have a problem, the more they like whom, the more they hate whom, and they say they don't want to, what is this called?" Bear two faces under one hood! ”
Xia Hao's heart moved, and an incredible idea surfaced.
Could it be that as he said, Jiang Qiushui was rejecting him thousands of miles away because he liked him?!
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the reason, after all, he had never offended her, how could anyone suddenly dislike someone for no reason?
It can only be explained that she is shy, wanting to refuse and welcome.
After figuring it out, Xia Hao was in a much better mood.
……
After waiting for a few days, there was no news from Jiang Mansion, Xia Hao was suspicious and decided to go to see the situation in person.
He clearly told the people in the shop to hand over the strange poison that can make people's muscles and bones rot to Jiang Tingcheng, this medicine is not easy to come by, the quantity is scarce, and it must not be wasted.
He wasn't worried about being found out at all. He knew better than anyone else the nature of this poison.
Along the way, Xia Hao was full of thoughts, and listed many possibilities in his mind.
Before stepping into the small shop that he used as one of his intelligence bases, Xia Hao didn't expect to meet Jiang Yushui here.
"Miss Jiang?"
Hearing the familiar voice behind him, Jiang Yushui laughed.
How to say that sentence, the road is narrow.
But this is his territory, so it's not surprising to meet him.
She turned around and joked, "When did the Seventh Prince become interested in jewelry?" ”
Xia Hao choked up, "I ......"
The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Look at what the girl said, what else can a man come to buy jewelry for?" Of course, I want to give it to my beloved girl. ”
He nodded his head.
Suddenly remembered that Jiang Troubled Water liked his inference, and didn't know what his reaction would be when he heard this, he paid close attention to her expression, only to see Jiang Troubled Water suddenly realize and say, "So that's the case." ”
There was no nervousness or shyness as he imagined.
Xia Hao's heart sank slightly, and then comforted himself:
It doesn't matter, maybe she's covering it up too well.
When the shopkeeper saw that his master was coming in person, he knew that there was something important, but now that outsiders were present, it was naturally inconvenient to say, so he asked, "What does the girl want to buy?" ”
Jiang Qiushui originally came here just to find clues, but Xia Hao's appearance made her change her mind.
She suddenly wanted to startle the snake.
took out the small bottle that he had exchanged from Jiang Suying's room from his arms and put it in front of the shopkeeper, as if he didn't notice his slightly changing face, and said with a smile: "I'm here to return something for my cousin this time, presumably the shopkeeper is no stranger to this bottle, right?" ”
This was from his shop, and he got the master's personal explanation, and the shopkeeper recognized it the moment Jiang Yushui took it out.
But he was vigilant, and he was most afraid of being cheated when doing business, so he pretended to be puzzled and picked up the bottle to observe it carefully, and inadvertently groped the bottle with his hand, and knew that he hadn't run away after touching the unique dark pattern, and subconsciously glanced at Xia Hao not far away.
All of this is seen by Jiang Wo Shui.
"This is indeed something in our store, but the girl is very raw, I don't know where it came from?"
"The shopkeeper has a good memory, and he even knows which customer in the store has bought something or not." Jiang Yushui smiled, and said something that seemed to be a compliment but was actually sarcastic, "This is what my cousin bought here a few days ago, and after she went back, she said that this thing is useless, no, ask me to return it to you." ”
How could the shopkeeper not know what was inside, hearing her say that it was useless, he suddenly raised his head in shock and said dumbly: "This ......"
"What is this? Everything is here, is it possible that you still want to deny it? Why don't you get the money back to me soon, I'm in a hurry. ”
Xia Hao lowered his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking, Jiang Yushui and the shopkeeper were in a stalemate for a while before he spoke: "Miss Jiang is right, since the things are not easy to use, naturally the money should be returned." ”
So Jiang Qiushui left happily with the money that came for nothing.
The shopkeeper retracted his gaze, not daring to look at Xia Hao's face.
After a long time, Xia Hao sighed, as if he was very sorry, and said: "It seems that this road is impassable." ”
……
If Jiang Yushui had five doubts before this, then he had completely dispelled it after leaving the store.
The poison given to his grandmother was given by Xia Hao, but he didn't know where to find out about Jiang Suying and Prince Ji, so he just took advantage of it.
With the result, Jiang Qiushui couldn't say that he was happy.
Xia Hao is just an outsider, and he is very selfish in his bones, it is not surprising that he does things that harm others and benefit himself, she will always think of revenge back.
But Jiang Suying and Jiang Chengcheng are grandmother's own granddaughters, and they can turn their elbows out to such an extent for their own selfish desires?
Jiang Wo Shui chilled his heart.
She thought of her uncle's affection, thinking that although she couldn't play a brother, a friend, or a brother, she could at least have nothing to do with each other and maintain a superficial peace.
Now it seems......
Jiang Yushui sneered.
Some people don't deserve it.
She suddenly felt something, and turned her head to look in a certain direction, but when she looked over, it was empty.
……
The other side.
Qi Jin's mansion.
In the quiet room, in front of the fierce chess game, the white-robed young man was playing alone, and there was movement by the window, and someone fell to the ground lightly and walked to him to salute.
He didn't lift his head, and his hands kept moving.
"When did you develop the habit of preferring to open the window when you don't go through the door?"
Jin He scratched his head and muttered in a low voice, "Didn't you learn it from Your Highness?" ”
"Huh?"
Jin He Zhengse said: "Miss Jiang just returned the things in front of the Seventh Prince. ”
"Hmm."
Jin He couldn't figure it out, Jiang Qiushui didn't have to do this at all, why should he startle the snake?
He unconsciously expressed the doubts in his heart.
The hand holding the chess paused in the air for a moment, Qi Jin glanced up at him and smiled, "Scare him." So that he might rest from some unrealistic thoughts.
“……”
Jin He didn't understand what he meant, just as he couldn't figure out why His Highness wanted him to sneakily follow Miss Jiang.
