In another courtyard of Jiang Mansion, Jiang Yuzhi was bored in his room applying medicine.
She sat in front of the bronze mirror and carefully looked at her face in the mirror.
After some time, the scars on my face have basically disappeared.
With that ice cream, there were no scars left on her face.
This made her breathe a sigh of relief and her mood improved a lot.
"Where's my brother?"
She asked while selecting exquisite steps in the jewelry box.
The maid behind him immediately said:
"The eldest son seems to have something important to do today. He sent people to seal off Wutong Garden early in the morning."
"Wutong Garden? No one has ever lived in that place. It is very desolate and remote. What is brother doing there?"
"This slave doesn't know."
Jiang Yuzhi looked at himself in the mirror, nodded with satisfaction, got up and walked outside.
"I'm going to see my brother."
The maid was surprised:
"Miss Fourth, do you want to go now?"
"Yes! I've been staying in the mansion for long enough recently, and I didn't even go to the sect meeting! After being locked up for so many days, my brother should be willing to let me out."
She was almost suffocated in the house!
Moreover, my brother said before that he wanted to investigate the matter of Baicaolou and Chu Liuyue, but there has been no progress.
She wanted to go into the palace to talk to the third princess.
Ignoring the maid's obstruction, she walked toward the door.
The maid had no choice but to follow him quickly.
I wanted to give a few more words of advice, but thinking that during this period, the fourth lady's temper was getting worse and worse, and she had already lost a lot of people who came to serve her, so the maid shut her mouth.
Just after walking a certain distance, Jiang Yuzhi saw a boy running over.
When he ran into Jiang Yuzhi, the boy quickly saluted:
"I've met Miss Fourth!"
Jiang Yuzhi looked at his hurried look and was slightly dissatisfied:
"What happened to make you so panicked?"
The boy immediately said:
"Fourth Miss, the Third Princess is here!"
Jiang Yuzhi was shocked:
"really?"
"How dare you lie about such a thing? The third princess is already in the living room! Neither the master nor the madam are in the mansion today, and the third princess named you as the one who came to see the eldest young master today. Isn't the young one going to invite him non-stop?"
Jiang Yuzhi thought to himself, it was a coincidence that she came just as she was about to enter the palace to talk to the third princess.
"Then you go and invite brother here first! How can the third princess come to the house without anyone to entertain her? I will go there myself first."
The boy knew that the Fourth Miss and the Third Princess had always been on good terms, so this seemed to be no problem, so he happily said:
"Then I'll ask the fourth lady to take care of everything! I'll go and ask the eldest son now!"
After saying that, he ran away quickly.
Jiang Yuzhi walked towards the living room.
Jiang Mansion, living room.
When Jiang Yuzhi arrived, he saw Shangguan Wan sitting inside.
With a friendly smile on her face, she stepped forward.
"Why didn't the third princess inform her in advance when she was coming?"
Shangguan Wan turned around and saw that it was Jiang Yuzhi, not Jiang Yucheng, and a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
But the look quickly dissipated.
She smiled:
"I also came up with it on an impromptu basis."
"Third Princess, you came just in time. I have something I want to tell you!"
Jiang Yuzhi said and walked to Shangguan Wan's side.
Shangguan Wan smiled lightly and said:
"Oh? What happened?"
Jiang Yuzhi looked around and retreated to the left and right.
Seeing her putting on such a display, Shangguan Wan paid more attention to her.
After making sure that no one was eavesdropping, Jiang Yuzhi lowered his voice and said:
"Third Princess, have you seen that Chu Liuyue?"
Shangguan Wan was stunned and nodded:
"Of course I've seen it before."
In fact, she just saw it today.
Jiang Yuzhi squeezed his sleeves:
"Have you ever felt that Chu Liuyue looks a lot like the same person?"
The smile on Shangguan Wan's face instantly faded a bit.
"Haori, what exactly do you want to say?"
Inside the Wutong Garden room.
Xia Mu hesitated for a moment and didn't move.
Jiang Yucheng frowned slightly, raised his eyelids lightly, and glanced at the thin man standing in front of him.
There was a strong pressure in his eyes, and there was a hint of warning.
As if he wouldn't go around anyone who didn't do what he said.
Xia Mu reached out and slowly took off the iron mask on his face.
A severely burned face appeared in front of Jiang Yucheng's eyes.
Horrible scars lay across it, and the entire face seemed a little distorted, which was daunting.
Jiang Yucheng's brows furrowed even more.
He remembered that Natsuki had been burned before
With this appearance, no wonder he always wears a mask.
He waved his hand in disgust:
"Put it on!"
Xia Mu didn't seem to notice his disgust, and put the mask back on obediently.
His movements were slow and stiff, and his whole body's aura was decadent.
Only those dark jade-like eyes shimmered, making people feel that he was still a living person.
Jiang Yucheng asked:
"Qi Dahe said just now that the injury on his arm was scratched by a monster when he came here today. Is this true?"
Natsuki nodded.
Jiang Yucheng glanced at him:
"Say—your voice was mute due to poison before, right?"
Natsuki nodded again.
He lowered his head slightly, and Jiang Yucheng couldn't quite see the look in his eyes.
"I don't remember very clearly, what made you mute in the first place?" Jiang Yucheng said, his voice inexplicably stern, "Is it Hunyuan Sha?"
Xia Mu seemed a little shocked, and immediately shook his head and waved his hands quickly, indicating that it was not because of the Hunyuan Sand.
Jiang Yucheng said calmly:
"Why are you nervous? I'm just asking you casually."
He knew very well that Hunyuan Sha could not poison people to silence.
But that's not what he was looking at.
Asked two more questions, Xia Mu answered them both by nodding and shaking his head.
Jiang Yucheng's question was rather boring, so he lazily leaned back in his chair.
"You go out."
Xia Mu bowed, then turned around and left respectfully.
However, just as he walked to the door, Jiang Yucheng suddenly remembered something:
"etc!"
Xia Mu stood still and looked back at him.
Jiang Yucheng, however, stared at Xia Mu closely, speaking every word like an invisible thunder:
"I remember that a year ago you were still at the beginning of the sixth level. How come you are now at the peak of the fourth level?!"
The air in the room was frozen every inch!
Update at 12 noon tomorrow~~~
