Chapter Eighty-Six: The Male God's Calculation
The carriage stopped.
Liang Hanyu happily pulled me out of the carriage.
What catches your eye is a mountain view.
Quiet, lush and vibrant.
Under the shade of green bamboo and cypress, there is a looming cornice pavilion.
Also, the oncoming first-level stuffy stick.
Severe pain and dizziness hit, and with it, darkness.
Before I had time to be surprised, I fell to the ground in a very unladylike manner.
When I opened my eyes, the most intolerable thing for me was that I was still lying on the ground in this embarrassed position.
The difference was that I seemed to be moved into a room.
The room is cramped, dark and quiet, which is inexplicably depressing.
A sense of foreboding rose in my heart.
I'm afraid something has changed.
In my heart, there was a panic.
However, the most ridiculous thing that I am worried about is, is Jiang Xian in danger?
I struggled to sit up, ignoring the dull pain in my forehead and looked around.
But even though my eyes widened, it was still dark before my eyes.
Like on the edge of the abyss.
The silence in the room made my heart tremble. So I deliberately rubbed my foot the floor, and finally made a sound.
The voice is low and muffled.
I touched it with my hand, and the floor was littered with a layer of hay.
The sound I made seemed to be working.
A very soft voice came: "You're awake." β
In my heart, there was a burst of ecstasy.
That was Jiang Xian's voice!
He's alive! He's safe!
I turned around excitedly in the direction of the voice, and even my own voice trembled: "Jiang Gongzi, is it you?"
Jiang Xian didn't answer.
I was a little anxious, and immediately asked, "Gongzi Jiang, are you okay? Are you injured?"
Jiang Xian's voice finally sounded again: "No." β
Jiang Xian's voice was a little cold.
But it was enough to comfort me.
I said unrelentingly: "Jiang Gongzi, where is this? Aren't we going to your other garden?"
"Indeed. The cold voice came again.
But this voice is clearly not Jiang Xian's.
Jiang Xian and I are not the only two people in this room!
I was shocked.
As the candle flame was lit, the surroundings suddenly lit up.
Sure enough, there were more than two people.
It's a whole bunch of people.
I thought there were seven or eight people crammed into the small, dark and silent room.
Seven or eight strangely dressed men, sitting on the bench across from me.
And Jiang Xian is actually among them!
Jiang Xian's face was still pale. He was looking down at me with his hands folded.
His gaze was still the same cold that I was familiar with.
But this familiar feeling made me shiver.
On a normal day, in the face of such a gaze, I must have lowered my eyes and fled.
But at this moment, I was not afraid, but met Jiang Xian's gaze and looked at him calmly.
Or rather, glaring at him.
He and I looked at each other silently for a while.
The silence was finally broken by a shrill scream.
The screams came from all over me.
I turned my head to look and noticed that Liang Hanyu, impartial, was lying right next to me.
At this time, Liang Hanyu, where is there any elegance of a rich daughter?
Her hair was disheveled, her face was hideous, and she was in a state of hysteria.
Liang Hanyu's eyes widened, undisguised his horror, and only kept repeating: "You, who are you?"
She screamed for a while, then calmed down a little. She seemed to recognize Jiang Xian, and shouted as if she saw a life-saving straw: "Jiang Xian, Jiang Xian, quickly, save me." β
I sighed and whispered, "He won't save you." β
Liang Hanyu finally noticed my presence at this time. She turned her head to look at me in surprise and said, "How do you know that Jiang Xian won't save me?"
Before I could answer, I only heard Jiang Xian's seemingly curious voice coming: "How do you know that I won't save her?"
I smiled bitterly and said, "Young Master Jiang, since you are planning to bring us here, how can you let us go so easily?"
The expression on Jiang Xian's face froze, and he said, "I really didn't expect you to have such a mind." β
Liang Hanyu rushed to me out of nowhere, almost pinching my neck and asking, "What are you talking about?"
I dodged backwards and said to Liang Hanyu tiredly, "Haven't you seen it yet? β
"Calculation?" Liang Hanyu's eyes widened, but he was empty. She said in disbelief: "Gongzi Jiang, what are you calculating to me to do?"
Jiang Xian smiled indifferently, revealing a mocking expression: "I calculated you because of your father Liang Zhuoran." β
Liang Hanyu's face turned pale, revealing a hint of horror and said, "Could it be that you have a grudge against your father?"
"No grudges, no grudges. Jiang Xian smiled and shook his head, and said step by step: "Ling Zun is the biggest salt merchant today. His private salt business can even compete with official salt. Having a lot of money around his waist is the norm of respecting Liang Gong. β
Although he was troubled by uneasiness and fear, Liang Hanyu still felt a little irrepressible when he heard the compliment. She said with some smugness: "That's nature. The wealth of my family, which is that of the eunuchs and nobles, is difficult to match. β
The smile on Jiang Xian's face became even thicker, and his tone was as sweet as an iceberg melting: "Ten thousand family wealth, just to show off, is a waste." Yes, share it with others. β
Liang Hanyu's smug expression froze, and she said in confusion: "Gongzi Jiang, your family is one of the top businessmen in Qingyang, why do you share my family's wealth?"
"Because he is not Jiang Gongzi at all. A deep voice came from the crowd. A dark-faced, stubby middle-aged man stood up and walked towards Liang Hanyu and me.
This person has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his face is quite fierce. He said as he walked: "Jiang Xian, the only son of the Jiang family, how can he be wandering around in different palaces?"
"And who the hell are you?" I asked, pretending to be calm, staring at the middle-aged man walking over.
"We?" the middle-aged man glanced at me condescendingly, and said coldly: "Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are dogs." Nine of us brothers, wandering around, do nothing more than punish those who are rich and unkind for God. β
I frowned and said, "You are the one who committed several serious crimes in Jiangnan Province and specialized in blackmailing and extorting wealthy merchants, Jiuyou?"
The middle-aged man's fierce face showed a surprised expression. He stared at me and said, "Little girl, you have heard of us. β
I was not in the mood to deal with this black-faced middle-aged man, but my eyes fell on Jiang Xian.
In my heart, there are mixed feelings.
Wishful thinking is ridiculous.
Now I realize that I am just a passerby in this scam.
Jiang Xian found me staring at him, and he showed a hint of timidity. He looked elsewhere, somewhat unnaturally.
I was quite emotional.
It was the first time in a long time that I had looked at Jiang Xian so frankly. But at this moment, the mood is completely different.
"So, who are you?" I had never asked Jiang Xian so easily, even smiling.
Jiang Xian's expression was a little complicated. He hesitated for a moment and said, "A false name is just a sign. β
I snorted, "Exactly." For you, we are just fish on the knife, and there is really no need to tell the truth. β
Jiang Xian's face turned pale, and he was about to speak, when he was suddenly interrupted by a terrible sob.
It was Liang Hanyu, as if holding a hint of fantasy, crying at Jiang Xian like a coquette: "Jiang Gongzi, I don't believe it, you will lie to me." Say to them quickly, "You are sincere to me." Let them let me go. β
Jiang Xian stood up a little impatiently and said to Liang Hanyu: "Miss Liang, Lord Lingzun, you may already know about your guest at this time. As long as the two million taels of silver tickets are ready, you can go home safely. β
When Liang Hanyu heard this, he cried even more fiercely: "Jiang Xian! You are a liar! Even if you covet my family's money, you still deceive my feelings! You, you must not die well!"
Jiang Xian didn't say anything anymore, just turned around coldly.
Somehow, the middle-aged man with a black face suddenly noticed me who was low-key on the side. He stared at Jiang Xian's back and said thoughtfully: "Then what to do with this girl?"
Jiang Xian hadn't answered yet, but Liang Hanyu suddenly stopped crying. She said as if she had been inspired: "Since you want to blackmail my Liang family, how can you let her Lu family go? You, you also care about the Lu family's ransom, it's fair!"
I shook my head helplessly.
I, a fake noblewoman, was accidentally pulled into this scam, and now I have to inexplicably satisfy Miss Liang's schadenfreude.
"Big family?" From behind Jiang Xian, a slender young man emerged. His eyes widened and he said puzzledly: "This Miss Lu, there are only three acres of thin fields and one earthen house at home. It really has nothing to do with big households. β
Liang Hanyu was stunned, stared at me for a long time, and actually showed a playful smile. It seems that being in prison can't affect her good mood in the slightest.
I only heard Liang Hanyu's yin and yang weird voice coming: "Eh, it turns out that Miss Lu is also an impostor." The invincible ones in your daily life are all pretended. β
I nodded and said calmly to Liang Hanyu, "Not bad." I'm just a pawn in the hands of vanity seekers. β
Before Liang Hanyu could answer, I turned my head again and said to Jiang Xian's back, "You...... Since you know my details, you should know that you can only find nothing in me. Then, please let me go. β
Jiang Xian didn't look back. The black-faced middle-aged man laughed: "Little girl, you are also naΓ―ve." How can you come and go here with us?"
"And how are you going?" I asked coldly, looking up at the black-faced middle-aged man.
The black-faced middle-aged man squeezed out an ugly smile at me and said, "Since you have seen our brother's appearance, how can I let you go? β
My heart sank.
Jiuyou didn't hide his face in front of me and Liang Hanyu. In fact, there is no intention of leaving a living mouth at all.
