The eldest lady is reborn, get out of the way!
Chapter 8: What fugitive are you catching? They’re arresting me.
The Sixth Miss of the Duke of England's Mansion has always been spoiled and pampered. Everyone in the Duke's Mansion knows this, and even her carriage for traveling is unique.
Jiang Zhiyue paid his respects to Old Madam Yan before leaving the house. Before leaving, he was seen by Jiang Wanbai and Jiang Fuyao from the second house. They were both curious about where Jiang Zhiyue was going.
The Duke's Mansion has not been divided up, the eldest and second branches are still there, so even the sons and daughters are counted together, only the genders are counted separately.
Duke Ying had few wives and concubines, one wife and three concubines. His first wife died early, and the eldest son Jiang Tiyu and daughter Jiang Lingyun were born to him. The youngest daughter Jiang Zhiyue was the sixth. The concubine Bai's daughter Jiang Hengdan was the third. Concubine Lian had no children. The concubine Lin Jingqiu's son Jiang Nianshi was the third.
Mr. Jiang was a playboy, and despite having many wives and concubines, he only had four children. The legitimate daughter Jiang Wanbai, born to the second wife, was the fourth, and the legitimate son Jiang Rongzhuo was the second; the concubine daughter Jiang Zhixue, born to Concubine Xiang, was the second; and the concubine daughter Jiang Fuyao, born to Concubine Shi, was the fifth.
The eldest son Jiang Tiyu has already been engaged to the Ming family, a family of scholarly origin. However, the wedding has been postponed because the girl's grandmother passed away and she has to observe mourning.
The eldest lady Jiang Lingyun and the second lady Jiang Zhixue are already married, the third lady Jiang Hengdan is already engaged, and the fourth lady Jiang Wanbai and the fifth lady Jiang Fuyao are preparing to meet their boyfriends.
Jiang Zhiyue didn't need to meet a matchmaker, as the Duke of England had already arranged her marriage.
Long before she was born, Duke Yingguo and Marquis Guangchang had already agreed to marry their children to each other. Marquis Guangchang had a bunch of daughters, and finally he had a legitimate son, who was Jiang Zhiyue's future husband.
As for the other two sons of the Duke of England's mansion, one is only thirteen years old and the other is just five years old. It is too early to consider marriage.
Jiang Wanbai's gaze fell on Jiang Zhiyue's departing back. What he was thinking about was how Jiang Zhiyue showed off her female power in Xuan Hall yesterday and drove Lin out of Xuan Hall.
Her brain seemed to suddenly get better?
Jiang Fuyao noticed Jiang Wanbai's expression, smiled sweetly, and reminded her softly, "Fourth sister, if you don't leave, it will be too late to pay your respects."
Jiang Wanbai retracted his gaze, without even glancing at Jiang Fuyao, and went straight to Chunhui Hall.
Jiang Fuyao was not annoyed. She continued to follow Jiang Wanbai with a smile, as if she didn't notice Jiang Wanbai's neglect just now.
Jiang Zhiyue had no chance to witness the witty remarks of the two sisters from the second house.
She held the box carefully in her hands. This was the step her grandmother gave her to go see her elder sister, so she had to protect it well.
But sometimes the more you want to protect something, the harder it is to do so.
The carriage had just driven out for a short while when it was suddenly stopped. Jiang Zhiyue was shaken violently in the carriage. If Changying had not supported her, she would have fallen against the wall of the carriage with the box.
Jiang Zhiyue frowned slightly, and Chang Hui immediately scolded: "Why are you so careless!"
Before the driver could say anything, he heard a rough male voice loudly saying, "The Tiger Guards have been ordered to arrest the fugitives. You all need to dismount and be inspected!"
Tiger Guard Camp?
When Jiang Zhiyue heard the words "get off the horse and be investigated", his face suddenly darkened and he said coldly: "Why are you arresting me as a fugitive?"
He lifted the curtain in anger, and unexpectedly, a tall and upright young man riding a horse appeared in front of him, wearing dark red armor, with a silver sword at his waist, and dried bloodstains faintly visible on the armor. He was imposing, looking down with a calm and indifferent look in his eyes, and his whole body was filled with a sharp and murderous aura.
Jiang Zhiyue was startled, and quickly lowered the curtain, scolding: "I am the daughter of the Duke of Ying, how can I be a fugitive! This is too much!"
Unexpectedly, the person sitting in the carriage was a little girl with a sweet voice and cold words. Zhang He was embarrassed for a moment. He pulled the reins and looked at the young man in armor beside him: "Major General, this..."
The young general of the Huben Camp, Lu Qingxiao, is so handsome that people often overlook his dangerous nature.
She closed the curtain too quickly and just missed the deep look in Lu Qingxiao's eyes when he looked over at her.
"Major General?" Zhang He asked again. The confused look on the face of the nine-foot-tall sturdy man seemed somewhat cute.
"Let her go." Lu Qingxiao stared at the carriage for a while, said casually, turned his horse's head, and took the lead in making way.
Zhang He looked at his major general in disbelief, "No, we won't investigate her anymore?"
The order to hunt down the suspect was issued by His Majesty himself!
Lu Qingxiao glanced at Zhang He, and said in a deep voice, as if with a hint of smile: "When did I say I would not investigate?"
"Then you..."
Zhang He stopped talking abruptly because his young general kicked his horse's stomach and followed leisurely behind the carriage of the Duke of England's mansion.
Could it be that the young general... has taken a fancy to the young lady of the Duke's Mansion? !
Chang Hui heard the noise and couldn't help but be curious, so she lifted a corner to see what was going on behind.
When she saw the tall and mighty young general riding his horse to catch up with her, she was so frightened that she let go immediately.
"Miss, that, that man is following behind the carriage!" Chang Hui was still in shock. The young general's aura was too terrifying.
Jiang Zhiyue tilted his head slightly, his eyes fell on the curtain, and could vaguely see a young man riding a tall horse behind him.
"Let him follow. Don't be afraid of him." Jiang Zhiyue frowned and carefully held the box.
Lu Qingxiao had excellent hearing. When he heard the angry voice of the little girl in the carriage, he curled the corners of his mouth. Although he was young, he had a bad temper.
Jiang Zhiyue gave the order and really let Lu Qingxiao follow her all the way to the gate of Prince Xuan's Mansion.
The carriage stopped, Changying got off first, stood beside the carriage, lifted the curtain, and prepared to lend a hand to help the young lady get off the carriage.
Jiang Zhiyue bowed and stepped out of the carriage. Just as he was about to take Changying's hand and go down, something unexpected happened at this moment.
For some reason, the carriage shook, and Jiang Zhiyue lost his balance and almost fell!
Lu Qingxiao rode his horse forward, flew down, reached out and firmly grasped her arm, then pulled it forcefully into his arms and held it.
Jiang Zhiyue was already off balance, and this time she crashed directly into Lu Qingxiao's arms, hitting his armor and causing her to groan in pain.
At the same time, a black shadow suddenly appeared from somewhere in the carriage, and the knife light slashed towards Jiang Zhiyue!
"Miss!"
Changying shouted in surprise, and also called out the steward of Prince Xuan's mansion who came in person to pick him up after learning that someone from the Duke of Ying's mansion was coming.
Lu Qingxiao held the person in one hand, turned around calmly, and slashed the air with his knife. It passed by Jiang Zhiyue's ear, and she could almost hear the sound of it breaking through the air.
Taking advantage of this gap, Lu Qingxiao exerted force on his feet and kicked the shaft of the carriage hard.
The carriage lost control and the assassin fell heavily on the edge of the carriage. Not giving up, he threw a hidden weapon straight at Lu Qingxiao's face!
In a flash, Lu Qingxiao pulled out a hairpin from the girl in his arms to knock out the hidden weapon, and threw it backhanded, hitting the assassin in the throat. Blood splattered three feet away, and the assassin died on the spot.
It all happened so fast that Jiang Zhiyue couldn't even react. She just felt her hair loosen and fall down, and she landed steadily on the ground with Lu Qingxiao.
She broke free from Lu Qingxiao's arms, ignoring her own thundering heartbeat, and wanted to see what was happening, but was blocked by Lu Qingxiao.
Jiang Zhiyue looked up blankly, her scattered hair fluttering in the wind.
Lu Qingxiao saw the helplessness and fear in her beautiful black jade eyes and sighed softly.
"Don't look at it, it's dirty."
