Zhao Xi never saw Jiang Shuge again.

I heard that his brain was damaged by drug abuse and he accidentally fell into the lake and died.

When the Third Aunt's hair turned white overnight and she came to Jiang Shuliu lonely, Zhao Xi couldn't believe that this woman in white clothes and with a haggard face was the Third Aunt.

She wanted to become a nun and live with the Buddha. Jiang Shuliu agreed.

Luo Qiang was killed by Jiang Shuliu's men. The man behind him escaped quickly, but Jiang Shuliu was never an impatient person. Her arrangements were like a spider's web, with layer upon layer.

Zhao Xi knew that there must be many things that happened that she didn't know about, but every time she asked, the eldest lady was indifferent and told her not to think too much because her brain was not in good condition.

Zhao Xi was not convinced by the retort, but Jiang Shuliu refused to say anything and she couldn't ask.

As for the good news, Zhao Xi's task has made great progress, reaching about 80%.

Zhao Xi's status in the Jiang Mansion had improved significantly. When she walked in the mansion, even Nanny Yang, who had once scolded her, had to stop and say hello.

Who doesn't know that Xichun is a popular figure around the eldest lady!

It was a good thing that Zhao Xi was a little silent when he heard what others said for the first time.

However, time passes slowly in this world, and Zhao Xi's main storyline has not yet been triggered, and no characters like the male and female protagonists have appeared around him.

Zhao Xi was used to it and was not in a hurry. He just followed the eldest lady leisurely every day, watching her handle things and punish the useless people.

Zhao Xi felt that even if the eldest lady was not the heroine, she was still a very important character, and she was probably the eldest lady's number one lackey, the type who would do whatever the lady told her to do.

Unexpectedly, just as Zhao Xi was thinking about the plot, it started unexpectedly.

This story begins with a letter.

The letter was sent from the Jiang family in the capital. When it was handed to Jiang Shuliu, she read it carefully, then tore it into pieces slowly, tapping her fingers on the table as if tapping on her heart.

Zhao Xi stood by, watching his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, without saying a word.

After getting to know each other, Zhao Xi realized that this was how Jiang Shuliu behaved when he was angry.

But Jiang Shuliu didn't say much, and ordered Zhao Xi, "Go tell Qinghe to get ready, we're going up."

Go up? Where?

Zhao Xi's doubts were clearly written on his face. Jiang Shuliu said, "Go to the capital, the master's house."

"They have arranged a good thing for me." Jiang Shuliu's half-smile made Zhao Xi's back numb. She nodded quickly and said, "Okay."

When Qinghe was told about the matter, Qinghe did not look strange. She just nodded and said she understood, then told Zhao Xi to pack up quickly as they would probably leave tomorrow.

This was a bit too sudden. Jiang Shuliu had been struggling in the south for so long, but just because of a letter he abandoned the foundation he had worked so hard to consolidate and went to the north?

Seeing Qing He's calm appearance, Zhao Xi probably knew something, so he asked, "Did something big happen? Does the young lady have to go?"

Qing He looked at Zhao Xi strangely, then slapped her head and said, "Oh, I forgot that you have only been in the mansion for a few months, so naturally I don't know."

Qing He: "It should be that the eldest lady's fiancé has returned from studying abroad. The master's family probably wants the two of them to meet and discuss the future marriage."

Zhao Xi's pupils trembled violently.

Seeing Zhao Xi's jaw almost dislocated, Qing He laughed: "Are you so surprised?"

Zhao Xi nodded vigorously.

She explained: "Well, mainly because I have never thought about the matter of the eldest lady getting married..."

The thought of Jiang Shuliu becoming a strange man's wife and having a child made Zhao Xi's hair stand on end. It felt like Jiang Shuliu's character was about to collapse.

Thinking of Jiang Shuliu's face, Zhao Xi couldn't imagine that she could have any soft emotions that belonged to a woman. Instead, he suspected that she would be the kind of poisonous spider who would poison her husband to death and then seize all his property.

Qing He said, "I know why you think so. People outside criticize the young lady behind her back, saying that women can't do business and that she is shameless to show her face in public. But anyone who has seen the young lady would not say those things."

She sighed a little: "Because the eldest lady is so powerful, no one would associate her with the ladies in the house."

"But this marriage is actually a child marriage. It was arranged before the eldest daughter was born. The man is the second son of the current head of the Ji family, Ji Xingyu."

"Because the eldest lady is three years older than him, and Master Ji was studying in the United States before, now thinking about the days, it is indeed the right time."

Even with Qing He's explanation, Zhao Xi still couldn't believe it. She said with difficulty: "Then Miss, do you like this Young Master Ji?"

Qing He looked at Zhao Xi as if he were looking at a rare animal: "How is that possible? This is just a very ordinary marriage."

She saw that Zhao Xi was worried about Jiang Shuliu being bullied, and she sighed in her heart that the love for the young lady was not in vain. She said, "Don't worry, the young lady is not a fish that can be slaughtered by others. No matter whether the young lady agrees or refuses to go to the capital this time, no one dares to say anything."

Zhao Xi nodded thoughtfully.

After returning to his room, Zhao Xi did not rush to clean up, but instead checked the progress of the task just now.

[Ding——Plot points increased by ten points.]

It seems that the plot is about to begin, and Zhao Xi's idea that the eldest lady is not the heroine is shaken.

Could it be that the eldest lady is really the heroine? The kind with the heroine setting?

I just don't know if Ji Xingyu is the male lead...

However, the plot has begun, and Zhao Xi decided to take it one step at a time.

On the day of departure, Zhao Xi followed Jiang Shuliu carrying his luggage, watching the servants around him carrying things one by one, while Qing He stood aside, not looking like someone who was going far away.

"Miss, Qinghe won't go with us?" Zhao Xi couldn't help but ask.

Jiang Shuliu: "The business here needs someone to watch over it. Qinghe is someone I trust and she has good methods. I feel relieved to have her here."

Zhao Xi nodded ignorantly, looking at the place where he had stayed for four months, feeling a little reluctant to leave.

A black sedan arrived, Zhao Xi opened the door for Jiang Shuliu, and then got in himself.

The car started and their destination was the train platform.

Jiang Shuliu spoke up, which was rare: "We're going to take a train later. Have you taken one before?"

Zhao Xi shook her head. She had never ridden a train in this world.

“The noise from the train will be quite loud and there will be a lot of people. Follow me closely and don’t get separated. Otherwise, don’t cry if you get kidnapped.” The eldest lady was as sharp as ever.

In this still chaotic world, women and children are the most vulnerable groups.

Zhao Xi could tell that Jiang Shuliu was trying to comfort her on her first long journey, so she smiled obediently, "Yeah."

Jiang Shuliu stared at her. Her almond-shaped eyes were clean and pure. Her skin was not sallow like that of other girls, but moist and white. A thin layer of healthy pink was on her cheeks. Her mouth was red without any dye. When she curved her eyes and smiled, she looked innocent and naive.

It was more like an innocent unmarried girl who was deceived by sweet words and happily eloped with her lover.

Jiang Shuliu kept silent about her thoughts. Looking at Zhao Xi's questioning eyes, she said calmly, "Don't be afraid. I will find it for you if you get lost."

What elopement? Xichun was originally Jiang Shuliu's person.
