The old lady also felt that she was too quick to talk. If Jiang Yixi's reputation spread, it would harm all the girls in the Jiang family, so she couldn't say anything anymore.

Uncle Jiang scolded Jiang Jin again, "Don't talk about this matter today. Neither your mother nor your daughter-in-law can talk about it. If we can't get married with Prince Yong's Palace, we will continue to discuss the matter with Duke Chengguo's Palace."

Jiang Jin hurriedly said, "Yes, my son won't go out and say it."

Jiang Yixi was furious. That old woman wanted to be rich and powerful. She actually dared to slander her like this.

The old lady and Uncle Jiang are short-sighted and eager for quick success, and coupled with the troublemaker Mrs. Jiang, no wonder Uncle Wu Xiang's mansion will become more and more in decline.

Jiang Yixi called a few girls in and gave them some instructions.

Shuixiang and Shuiqing both looked serious and a little worried.

"Girl, can you do that?"

Shui Ling looked excited and explained for her master, "Girl is the smartest, why can't you do it?"

She followed Huahua quickly out of Zhuoyuan and walked softly towards the backyard.

One person and one cat walked along the path and under the trees. When they heard the patrolling mother-in-law's voice, they quickly hid behind the trees.

A woman vaguely heard a noise, stopped and shouted, "Who?"

"Meow..." A cat quickly climbed up the tree.

"Dead cat."

The two women finished scolding and walked forward.

The mother-in-law disappeared without a trace, and Shui Ling came out from behind the tree again and gave a thumbs up to the flowers on the tree.

Huahua quickly climbed down from the tree and ran towards that place with Shui Ling.

Shui Ling and Huahua came to the backyard wall. Huahua first jumped up to a tree beside the wall, and then jumped from the tree to the top of the courtyard wall. She walked a few steps cautiously, pointed in front with her paw, and gave a light "meow".

It means it's safe here.

This is a game that Huahua and Shui Ling occasionally play in the village. Where it is safe and where it is unsafe, Huahua scouts first, and Shui Ling follows.

Huahua is so powerful because she was "trained" by Shui Ling.

The top of the wall of Jiangjiayuan is like other houses. There are many iron nails stuck in it. If someone tries to climb over the wall, he will be stuck by the iron nails. However, there is a place on the top of the wall where the nails are relatively sparse, and there is a gap that can be grasped with both hands.

Live. This is what Huahua discovered in the past two days.

Shui Ling jumped a few times, grabbed the top of the courtyard wall with both hands, and stepped on the top of the wall with one foot. She was wearing thin-soled shoes, and nails could not hurt her feet. She jumped again and jumped off the wall.

She waved to Huahua and let him go back, then ran to her house in the back street.

When Huahua saw that Shuiling had disappeared, she jumped off the wall and ran in the other direction. Huahua was very sad because she didn't chase the mouse away, but the mouse's IQ was so high that it ran away as soon as it smelled its scent.

At the beginning of the next morning, the cold stars were twinkling and the cold wind was biting. A small door on the backyard wall of Uncle Wu Xiang's Mansion opened, and several women pouring night incense came out of the courtyard with buckets. A cart for collecting night incense was parked at the street corner.

, they went to pour night fragrance.

This small door is only opened when pouring night fragrance.

Just as the gatekeeper was about to lock the door, she heard several "squeaking" sounds, and then dozens of mice suddenly appeared, and some mice crawled on her body. The woman was so frightened that she jumped and screamed, and fell down.

She was lying on the ground. She was waving her hands wildly in front of her eyes. Her first intention was to prevent the mice from scratching her face.

A girl-like figure quickly ran out from behind a tree not far away, and then ran out of the back door.

With a slight meow, the mice retreated like an ebbing tide.

The woman who was guarding the door got up, and there was nothing on the ground except for the clear glow and the shadows of the trees, as well as some unswept snow under the roots of the trees, as if she had been dreaming just now.

Where are the rats? Where are all the rats?

Men often call her mentally retarded. Is she really mentally retarded?

The mother-in-law shook her head and couldn't think about it, so she stopped thinking about it and quickly locked the door. She would continue to guard behind the door, waiting for those who poured night fragrance to come back and open the door.

There was a carriage parked at the entrance of the alley, and the driver took off his hat. It was Jiang Da. Shuiling jumped out of the carriage and helped Jiang Yixi into the carriage.

Sitting in the car with Shui Ling beside her, Jiang Yixi breathed a sigh of relief. Even if the densely packed rats didn't crawl onto her, her scalp was numb and she didn't want to think about it.

The carriage arrived at a street intersection not far from Prince Yong's Mansion. It was already late in the morning. A cold wind was blowing, and the sun was covered with haze, as if another heavy snowfall was coming.

There were not many people walking on the street. The vendors were shouting loudly. There were sellers of fried dough sticks and buns, steamed buns and sesame pancakes. People in twos and threes were either buying or hiding from the wind and eating.

Jiang Yixi was very curious about this street scene and looked around.

Jiang Da found a noodle shop, and Shui Ling wiped the benches and tables again before helping Jiang Yixi sit down. Opposite was a teahouse, which had not yet opened.

A few people ate noodles, and when the teahouse opposite started to open for business, the three of them went to the teahouse. After Jiang Da settled the master, he drove to Prince Yong's Mansion to find Li Kai.

Shui Ling took out a small bronze mirror and a small box of rouge from her arms and said, "Girl's hair is messy, let's touch up some makeup."

Jiang Yixi looked at the personal girl who was becoming more and more attentive and competent, shook her head and said, "No need."

More than three quarters of an hour later, Li Kai, who was as bright as a peacock, arrived.

He became happy when he saw that Jiang Yixi was wearing the girl's clothes, her face was as dark as water, and she was extremely embarrassed.

He sat carelessly across from Jiang Yixi and said with a smile, "Miss Jiang, how did you sneak out in such a dress? Haha, I asked Jiang Xun to say something in private. What else did he say about being polite or not? We are doing this privately.

Let’s meet?”

Jiang Yixi ignored his sarcasm and said coldly, "Prince Li, Princess Zhenbao told me that she has told you my thoughts and clearly rejected your offer on my behalf. You still want to find Jiang Xun and Jiang Jin

What do you mean, deliberately causing trouble for fun?"

Li Kaiqian laughed a few times, then pretended to be serious and said, "My sister did say what Miss Jiang meant, but I don't believe it. Miss Jiang is well-known, and I'm afraid that Zhenbao may have misunderstood me, so I want to confirm again. Where is the mischief?"

Looking for fun, Miss Jiang wrongly blamed Xiaosheng."

Jiang Yixi was so angry that she cursed secretly and said, "Well, I will now solemnly explain to Prince Li that every word I said to Princess Zhenbao came from my true meaning, and she did not understand me wrongly."

Li Kai raised his eyebrows, tapped the coffee table with his fingertips, and asked, "If I say that I will never touch other women after marrying Miss Jiang, will you be willing?"

A trace of ridicule slipped from the corner of Jiang Yixi's mouth, "Do you believe this yourself? You don't believe it, how can I believe it? Prince Li, you are of noble birth, and you are unparalleledly handsome. A little girl can't reach such a high place, and she doesn't dare to have such delusions. Your Excellency,

It’s a lot, so don’t embarrass me.”

After saying that, Jiang Yixi stood up, knelt down and blessed him.

Li Kai twitched the corner of his mouth and said with a half-smile, "Miss Jiang is so heartless, I'm very sad. Don't be angry, there is nothing you can do with Jiang Jin. That kid Jiang Xun is not up to the mark. At a young age, he is more stubborn than those old stubborn ones in the Hanlin Academy."
