"nothing."
Jiang Yucheng looked up and his expression returned to normal.
"Why are you here at this time?"
Shangguan Wan glanced at him suspiciously.
She just saw it, it seemed to be a painting
What painting is it that makes him so taboo
There were almost no secrets between the two of them. She had never seen Jiang Yucheng so nervously trying to hide something.
"If you can take it out at night and appreciate it carefully, it must be a masterpiece? Why don't you take it out and show it to me?"
Shangguan Wan took a step forward and asked tentatively.
But Jiang Yucheng's expression was extremely calm.
"It's not a treasure. I just dug it out accidentally. There's nothing to see."
The smile on Shangguan Wan's face was a little unbearable.
It's just a painting. It would be fine if he showed it to her openly, but he didn't.
If you block the left and right, there must be something wrong!
Shangguan Wan glanced at the place where Jiang Yucheng put the things back just now.
Jiang Yucheng frowned.
As if sensing that Jiang Yucheng was in a bad mood, Shangguan Wan quickly looked away.
She didn't come here today to quarrel with him.
Thinking of the purpose of this trip, Shangguan Wan's expression softened a lot.
"I came here secretly this time, don't worry, no one will know."
Everyone in this courtyard is Jiang Yucheng's confidant, and she is not worried that this matter will be spread.
She took a few steps forward.
"Actually, I—you drank?"
Shangguan Wan's expression changed slightly.
I hadn't noticed it when I was far away just now, but now that I was standing closer, I realized that Jiang Yucheng was smelling of alcohol!
Looking carefully, his eyes were also a little bloodshot, and there was a trace of confusion in them, as if he was a little drunk.
Jiang Yucheng has always been very restrained and never drinks excessively, let alone letting himself get drunk.
What happened
"Yu Cheng, what's wrong with you?"
She asked as she went to pull him.
Jiang Yucheng calmly avoided her hand.
"I'm fine. If you have anything to do, just ask."
One of his subordinates failed, making Shangguan Wan feel a little empty in his heart.
She bit her lip.
In fact, she has recently discovered that Jiang Yucheng is becoming more and more impatient and perfunctory with her.
But despite his distant attitude, as her fiancé, he did all the things he was supposed to do, making it impossible for anyone to find fault.
This only made Shangguan Wan feel even more aggrieved, unable to find a place to vent his anger.
"I" she gritted her teeth and suppressed the dissatisfaction and resentment in her heart, "I came here today to ask you to get the Jiuxiao Yuan Dan back."
Jiang Yucheng's eyebrows tightened instantly.
"What did you say?"
Shangguan Wan looked troubled.
"I also know that I shouldn't do this, but I am only one step away from restoring my original veins. There are only three days left before the wedding, and I can't do anything else. Even if I try reluctantly, it will only be a place. Meridian lower than the original meridians"
"Do you want to use Jiuxiao Huiyuan Pill to improve your original vein level?" Jiang Yucheng interrupted her.
Shangguan Wan nodded.
She didn't think of this at first, but after "that" reminded her, she suddenly realized that even if she barely recovered her original earth meridian, it would be difficult for her to successfully lift the scepter of heaven's order.
The most convenient one is naturally the Jiuxiao Huiyuan Pill!
"I know you gave that thing to Xia Hourong before, and he will definitely not be willing to give it back, but I can exchange it with him for other things! As long as-"
"Something is lost."
Jiang Yucheng's voice was cold.
Shangguan Wan was suddenly stunned.
"What, what's missing?"
Jiang Yucheng said word by word:
"Jiu Xiao Hui Yuan Dan has been stolen before."
Shangguan Wan naturally didn't believe it.
But looking at Jiang Yucheng's demeanor, it didn't look like he was faking it.
She was secretly angry.
"When can I get it back?"
Jiang Yucheng lowered his eyes.
"I don't know."
"Then what should I do?" Shangguan Wan lost the patience to pretend, "If I can't lift the scepter of the Order -"
"That's your business."
Jiang Yucheng smelled of alcohol, and his mind was always in a mess, so he was not very polite when he spoke.
"After all, you are also the third princess with the blood of the Tianling royal family. This is a matter that you should think about and solve on your own."
He rubbed his brows in annoyance.
"If it were Ah Yue, she would never be embarrassed by this kind of thing."
As soon as the words fell, the room instantly fell into dead silence!
Shangguan Wanru was struck by lightning!
She opened her eyes in disbelief and stared at Jiang Yucheng.
"What did you just say?"
At this time, Jiang Yucheng also realized that what he said was wrong, and his voice slowed down a bit.
"I just said it casually, don't take it to heart."
"You still have her in your heart, don't you?" Shangguan Wan suddenly clamped his wrist, with deep resentment and jealousy in his eyes, "You also think that I am not as good as her in every way, don't you!?"
Jiang Yucheng patiently said, "You are overthinking. If it was really what you said, I wouldn't have done that in the first place."
Thinking of the original fire, Shangguan Wan gritted his teeth and threw Jiang Yucheng's hand away.
"Jiang Yucheng, you'd better remember what you promised me!"
After saying that, she turned around and left angrily.
Jiang Yucheng stopped her again:
"Wait a minute, I asked you to go to His Majesty's place to see what happened."
Shangguan Wan choked.
In fact, she didn't take this matter to heart at all. She only went there once or twice, stayed in for a while and then came out.
Jiang Yucheng warned:
"You don't know how important His Majesty's sobriety is to us—"
"Okay, I get it! I know what to do!"
Shangguan Wan walked around irritably, raised her feet and left quickly.
After all this fuss, Jiang Yucheng finally sobered up.
He thought for a while, then walked over, weighed the wooden box, and pondered for a long time.
In fact, there is really no need to keep this thing.
He pretended to burn the thing, but after going back and forth several times, he finally couldn't bear it and had to put it back again.
Tuk Tuk!
There was a sudden knock on the door.
"My eldest son, Lord Xiahou is here!"
Xia Hourong
"Let him in."
Jiang Yucheng sat down on the chair.
Then, Xia Hourong came in.
He was wearing black clothes, completely covering his figure.
In the dark, no one can recognize it unless they look carefully.
And behind him, there was a tightly wrapped person.
—Xiahou Ting’an!
Jiang Yucheng leaned on the chair and looked at the two people with cold eyes.
"It seems that Mr. Xiahou is here to return something?"
When Xia Hourong heard this, he was immediately embarrassed.
He swallowed hard and immediately cursed at Xiahou Ting'an:
"Why don't you quickly apologize to the eldest son!"
Xiahou Ting'an was kneeling on the ground and seemed to have suffered a lot of injuries.
"Big, eldest son—"
"No need to say this."
Jiang Yucheng had little patience with him and got straight to the point.
"Return the things first, and we'll talk about the rest later."
Xia Hourong's face turned pale.
"Master, that thing is missing!"
