Quick travel system: the villain is a female supporting role

Chapter 235 The Concubine's Daughter and His First Wife (16)

Jian Ming couldn't tell what mood she was in at the moment, she bowed her head in silence for a long time, and then left Feng Mansion with a sigh.She is full of doubts now, since Madam Kong dared to say that many people know about it, it seems to be somewhat true.It's just that more than ten years have passed, what should be forgotten has been forgotten, and what should be remembered has been buried under the ground. The only one who really knows is Ning'an Hou Jian Tinghui.Naturally, it was impossible for her to question him, and now she could only rest assured and wait for a suitable opportunity.

In the blink of an eye, midsummer is coming, the bright white sun shines on the city of Shengjing, and the heat waves hit our faces.The sound of cicadas chirping, when the flowers in the lotus pond are in full bloom, it is a bit stronger than at the beginning, but no one appreciates it.Most of the aristocratic families in Shengjing City have summer resorts in Beishan and Xishan, and the Ning'an Hou Mansion is no exception. When the boom is approaching at the end of June and early July, the female family members of the Hou Mansion packed their luggage and boarded their seats to go to Xishan. Manor carriage.

"Yesterday in the big kitchen, I heard Yin'er bragging next to the big girl. The big girl has received a lot of posts these days, and I think she will attend a lot of parties during the summer vacation." Luzhi took out a stack of snacks and put them in the carriage. On the small table, the tone was a little sullen: "The eldest girl will reach her birthday in September, and the marriage has not yet been settled, and it is true..."

"Green branch." Jian Ming glanced at her, and interrupted her words in a tangled way: "These choreographer's words, don't talk about them all the time, if someone else listens to a few words, it will be bad."

"Good girl, this servant is just talking in front of you." Lu Zhi looked at her girl's smiling face, and naturally knew that she was not angry, so she said a few words in a soft tone, and then changed the subject.Although she was very gossip about such trifles, she never dared to tell others about it, not to mention that her own daughter is in a weak position now, if some rumors spread because of this, it would be a serious crime.

"How is the green screen?" Jian Ming smiled, moved her body, found a comfortable position for herself, and raised her eyes to ask.

Lu Zhi's face, which was always full of vigor, now showed a rare sadness and sigh. She shook her head with a dejected face, and said in a muffled voice: "As the girl expected, Lu Screen contacted the eldest girl in private. I will... also take that veil away."

When Jian Ming heard this, there was no change of emotion on her face, she unconsciously tapped the small table with her fingertips, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was a bit cold.

The manor of Ning'an Hou Mansion located in Xishan is a fruit farm. It is midsummer when the fruits are abundant. As soon as Jian Ming and others arrive, the head of the farm sends fresh grapes and watermelons that have been squeezed in the well water.

Although it is said to be to escape the summer heat, it is necessary to communicate with the neighbors who came to escape the summer heat.From time to time, the girl's delicate and clear laughter can be heard in the courtyard next door. They are the ladies from the Zhongyonghou Mansion, who have always been friends with Jian Yao.It is already the afterglow of the setting sun, looking at the situation, I am afraid that I will stay here at night.

Jian Ming thought to herself, thinking that it would not have any effect on the evening's affairs, so she ignored it.

"Second girl, the village has just brought wild game, and it looks very delicious." Lu Zhi entered the door with a food box, and then took out the food one by one, her eyes sparkling, obviously in a good mood.

"Then let's try it." Jian Ming chuckled lightly, took the mushroom and pheasant soup scooped up by the green branch, tasted it lightly, and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief. .

"It tastes good, but it's too greasy. In this hot weather, it's better to be lighter." Jian Ming calmly found a reason, put down the porcelain bowl, and didn't take another bite.Seeing this, Lu Zhi said that it was not to his liking, but he didn't think too much about it. After Jian Ming finished his dinner, he cleared away the dishes.

"Are you sure that something was put in that soup?" After Lu Zhi left, Jian Ming looked at the handkerchief that was stained with chicken soup in his hand, with a gloomy expression.

"Lovely host, don't doubt the sharp eyes of the cute system." The stupid system shamelessly sold it, and then said in a slightly more serious tone: "It should be a drug that can make people fall into a deep sleep. There are quite a few."

Drugged?

Jian Ming frowned, a little puzzled, she could make random guesses about poisoning.But drugged, who wants to do something when they are full?
Thinking that tonight's plan would be ruined by this, she felt very uncomfortable.After weighing it up, Jian Ming decided to see who was trying to mess with her first.

The night in Xishan is quieter than the bustling city of Shengjing, and the occasional chirping of birds, insects and frogs adds to the atmosphere of the mountains.

Jian Ming turned off the light early, she lay flat on the bed with a thin blanket over her abdomen, her eyes closed tightly.Her breathing was deliberately adjusted to be slow and even when she was sleeping, but her heart was actually clear.

As the time passed, Jian Ming carefully listened to the surrounding movement with her wind ear, covered in the blanket and tightly held the bronze Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle with her left hand, her mood was still calm.

The sound of footsteps came suddenly, although it was extremely light, but it fell on Jian Ming's ears very clearly.

Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of the door lock being pried open, and the creaking sound of the wooden door being slowly opened.The footsteps got closer and closer until they stopped. The man seemed to stand still in front of the bed, and then bent slightly.The fine and warm breath hitting the cheek made one couldn't help trembling slightly, Jian Ming forcibly suppressed this feeling, and waited for this person's next move.

He keenly sensed that the man's fingers brushed the loose long hair around his ears, and then touched his upper neck.Jian Ming couldn't bear it any longer, her eyes suddenly opened, her left hand covered under the blanket was suddenly pulled out, and she swung it to hit the man on the back of the head.

Unprepared, the man snorted suddenly, Jian Ming's eyes turned cold, and he wanted to throw it again, but the man dodged it neatly.At the same time, under the shadow of the moonlight, Jian Ming pinched his neck when he saw his wrist turn.

"If you dare to move again, I will kill you." Jian Ming said coldly, pointing the bronze cylinder in his left hand at him, with a cruel smile on the corner of his mouth: "I think you don't want to try the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle either." effect."

The man really stopped his movements immediately, but it was only a pause before continuing to attack Jian Ming.Jian Ming immediately turned over to avoid this move, then without hesitation pressed the switch of the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle, took out the dagger under the pillow with her right hand, and slashed at this person.

The man let out a muffled grunt, and saw his footsteps back again and again in the shadows, and then fled through the window without dragging his feet.Jian Ming pursed her lips into a straight line, watching the man leave without making any other movements.It took a long time before she got up and got out of bed, lit the candles, fought in a small area, the room was not messy, only a few steel needles of the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle pierced deeply into something.With great effort, she took out the steel needle completely, and wiped off a few drops of blood on the ground with a handkerchief dampened with water, before lying back on the bed.

The man had never covered his face, and he was obviously very confident in himself. The material of the clothes he touched accidentally was also excellent ice silk.

I can't see her face clearly, but that faint fragrance...
