Chapter 127 Ancient Version of Poor Little One 12
After coming here, she had the system as a back-up, and she never thought about improving her etiquette.
In her opinion, as long as a person is good-looking enough, any shortcomings will be seen as advantages, and as long as one is good-looking, one can be willful.
In An Linglong's eyes, Jiang Xunzhi frowned and closed his eyes just now because he felt sorry for his own serious injuries and couldn't bear to see himself suffer. This one glance was the climax of the plot, and then the heroine fainted again.
Seeing that someone had fainted, Jiang Xunzhi wanted to reach out his hand to feel An Linglong's breath to see if she was unconscious or dead. However, when he saw An Linglong's dirty face, he retracted his hand and waved for the guards to come forward and check the situation.
The guard understood what his master meant very well. He stepped forward, felt An Linglong's breath, and nodded to his master, indicating that she was still alive.
"Take it back with you, and take these...back with you as well."
Jiang Xunzhi looked at the young masters from various families who were thrown into a pile. He couldn't just throw their bodies here, so he took them back to show his kindness to the families. Although his family was not afraid of those small families, it was better not to make enemies if possible.
"It's the young master."
In the plot, the heroine recalled the scene where the hero carefully carried her back. Did the guard do that?
Qu Nannan smacked her lips and said, "It would be nice if we could see what was going on in their hearts. I don't know what they were thinking just now. Why do I feel like it's not as romantic as described in the plot?"
"Mind reading, there is such a skill in the mall, host, do you want to buy one to use?"
Qu Nannan shook her head directly: "I don't want to. What's the fun in living if you know everything?"
I watched the guards brought by the male protagonist walk back and forth three or four times before they gave up.
"Doesn't this male protagonist look so glorious? What is he afraid of?"
"Maybe they're afraid there might be someone alive and want to drag him out?"
"Then let's help him."
After saying this, Qu Nannan walked towards the valley in the village.
"Host, what do you mean? Why don't I understand?"
"You'll understand in two days."
Two days later, Qu Nannan stood in front of the city gate carrying a bamboo basket on her back. This was her first time out of the village since she came here. Looking at the tall city walls and the guards standing at the gate, there was really a sense of grandeur.
Everyone entering the city was carefully checked, as if there was a sense of panic. It seemed that the death of so many clan members at once still made these people nervous.
Qu Nannan was a skinny little girl from the country and she didn't really attract anyone's attention. She walked leisurely into the city, found an ordinary teahouse with many families, sat in the most inconspicuous place, ordered a pot of tea, and sat down to listen to the news around her.
Hearing the noisy discussions around her, Qu Nannan gave herself a thumbs up. She knew that the best place to hear news described in the book was a teahouse like this. You don't even have to ask, a lot of news will come into your ears.
"Have you heard? This time, more than a dozen young masters died. I don't know who is so bold as to go against so many people."
"Keep your voice down, do you want to live? I heard that he died tragically."
"If you ask me, it's what you deserve. It's ridiculous for a grown man to follow a woman all day long. Look, you're asking for trouble."
"I heard that the girl from the capital is the daughter of the Prime Minister. She is said to be as pretty as a fairy?"
"What's the point of a pretty woman? A good woman should be able to take care of housework. Have you ever seen a woman like that, fooling around with a bunch of men all day long?"
"I heard that the rich girl came here for Mr. Jiang Xunzhi of the Jiang family, but Mr. Jiang didn't like that immoral woman."
"Mr. Jiang is one of us. Not every woman can match him." The person who spoke gave a thumbs up.
Jiang Xunzhi had a very good reputation in Jiangnan. He did not have the airs of other clans. He was approachable and greeted the common people with a smile. He was also compassionate to the poor, often giving them porridge and speaking for them.
"You say, isn't Mr. Jiang's fiancée getting a great deal? Such a good Mr. Jiang deserves a better girl."
"I have actually met this young lady from the Wang family once. She is quite pretty, but her personality is really unacceptable. She is overbearing and does not have the gentleness and virtuousness of a woman at all. Poor Mr. Jiang."
The person who was speaking lowered his voice again. If Qu Nannan hadn't had good hearing, she might not have been able to hear what he was saying: "Have you heard? It is said that this incident was the work of Miss Wang."
The man also looked around, and when he saw that no one was paying attention to them, he continued, "It is said that Miss Wang couldn't stand the fact that the eldest lady of the capital city was chasing after her fiancé, so she hired a killer to kill the eldest lady from the capital city."
"But the young lady from the capital didn't die. It was those young masters who died?"
"It is said that the eldest lady was lucky enough to survive, and those unlucky young men saw the assassin's appearance and were killed to silence them."
"Hiss, this, this is too scary, this Miss Wang is really vicious."
"I've already said this and I won't admit it. Just listen to it, but don't tell anyone or you'll get yourself killed."
"No, no, we didn't hear anything. Come on, have some tea, have some tea."
"No wonder they say women are the root of trouble. Look, if it weren't for that woman, wouldn't these young masters still be alive and well?"
"That's right, no matter how beautiful a woman is, nothing is more important than her own life."
"By the way, did you hear? There was a commotion at Er Gou's house yesterday. It was said that his wife took all the money back to her parents' home."
"If you ask me, for someone like Er Gouzi's wife, you should just divorce her as soon as possible. She keeps quarreling all day long and doesn't even feel tired."
"That's right. I think the widow on their street is pretty good. Er Gouzi might as well find an honest woman to live with."
The topic gradually turned to the widow's romantic affairs. Qu Nannan shook her head. This man was really talkative when it came to gossip.
Qu Nannan sat in the teahouse for the whole afternoon, and the news she heard was similar. Most people speculated that it was the work of some bandit. Not many people guessed that it was Miss Wang, and even if they did, they would not dare to make a fuss because they had no evidence.
The sky gradually darkened: "Elf, do we have something that can make you invisible in the mall?"
"Yes, the invisibility talisman from the world of immortal cultivation is not expensive. You can buy one for ten points. It is useless for people with high cultivation. There are no people who can cultivate here. As long as you put it on, no one will find you."
