"We at the auction house are deeply sorry for what happened last night. Your deposit will be fully refunded until the Red and White Hibiscus Painting is recovered."

The man's name was Feng Jin, and he was the manager of Jinghe Auction House. His words were full of sincerity, and he also brought a ruby ​​the size of a pigeon egg as a gift to Jiang Shuliu.

Jiang Shuliu just glanced at her, then looked away without interest and asked, "Is Hu Wu dead?"

"She?" Feng Jin didn't know why Jiang Shuliu mentioned Hu Wu, but he still said, "No, she was still breathing after being sent to the hospital, and her life was saved."

"We have contacted the police station and will definitely give you an explanation," said Feng Jin.

Jiang Shuliu: "Do you have any clues about the people who attacked last night?"

Feng Jin smiled and said, "Miss, you are embarrassing me by asking this. I have offended many people in my life. If I really had a clue, the list would be one meter long."

Jiang Shuliu raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Okay." She didn't make it difficult, waved her hand and said: "Xichun, see you off."

After Zhao Xi sent the people away and came back, he saw Jiang Shuliu closing his eyes in deep thought.

Zhao Xi knew that Jiang Shuliu's suspicion had come back again, and she complained in her heart: The eldest lady must have been an emperor in her previous life, so she is suspicious of this and that.

Zhao Xi didn't disturb Jiang Shuliu and left with the box containing the ruby.

The Jiang family in the capital is several times larger than the one in Pingsheng City. Zhao Xi has been here for almost a month, but he still hasn't recognized the people inside.

Maybe it has something to do with Jiang Shuliu. For some unknown reason, the eldest daughter doesn't like to get along with these family members and often stays indoors.

However, thinking that he had so many half-brothers and sisters and several concubines, Zhao Xi didn't want to see them.

Who knew that as soon as Zhao Xi spoke of the devil, he bumped into a young man.

His outfit was also the most fashionable of the moment, with a smoky grey suit, shiny leather shoes, a clean-cut face, a black round hat on his head, and a brown ceremonial staff in his hand.

The man frowned and said, "Which girl are you from? Why are you so irritable?"

The way he speaks, he is probably a young master.

Zhao Xi lowered his head and said, "Master, I am Xichun who is by the side of the eldest lady."

People around Jiang Shuliu.

The man, also Jiang Jin's expression paused.

He looked down and saw the box in Zhao Xi's hand. The newspapers reporting the attack last night were still on his desk today. Jiang Jin still wanted to find out if Jiang Shuliu had met with an unexpected accident, but unfortunately Jiang Shuliu came back safely.

"Ahem, that's it." Jiang Jin asked, "Didn't Big Sister attend that auction yesterday? Were you injured?"

Zhao Xi shook her head: "Miss is safe and sound, thank you for your concern, Master."

She was lucky. Jiang Jin was impatient. Things had not been going well for him recently.

First, there was the marriage proposal for Jiang Shuliu. He had never expected that the strong-willed Ji Xingyu would not resist the marriage proposal after only meeting Jiang Shuliu once. His girlfriend was also difficult to please. She played the hypocritical trick of running away from home and being found back every day.

As Ji Xingyu's good friend, Jiang Jin always tried to persuade him with good intentions, but he was actually sarcastic in his heart.

Then came the merchant ship plan. Jiang Jin's heart was beating wildly with excitement when he heard the news, but the next moment a basin of cold water was poured on his head.

Jiang Shuliu was in charge of the entire plan.

Jiang Jin did make a scene before, but Jiang Jingtao comforted him by saying, "Your elder sister is a woman and will get married. When she gets married, the business she worked so hard to build will not go with her. How much you can get depends on your ability."

Jiang Jin was enlightened by his father's words and immediately understood what he should do. But now, he still had to be pressured by Jiang Shuliu and was still depressed.

Now, looking at the girl in Jiang Shuliu's room, he didn't want to say anything more. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, go now."

But at this time, the girl stopped and asked, "Excuse me, are you Young Master Jiang?"

Jiang Jin was confused: "Yes, what's wrong?"

The girl's expression suddenly became strange. She glanced at his whole body, pursed her lips, and ran away without saying a word.

No one knew how desperate Zhao Xi was at this moment.

When she was talking to Jiang Jin, her mission of "climbing up" was finally completed, and it was replaced by: [Ding——The female supporting role is dissatisfied with her status as a servant and hopes to fly up to the tree and become a phoenix. ]

【Seducing the eldest young master of the Jiang family. 】

Zhao Xi looked dejected, especially after she knew that the man she had just met was the one she wanted to seduce, she wanted to die even more.

"Are you kidding me? I'm the eldest lady's servant. You want me to seduce the eldest lady's brother? Why don't you want me to seduce the eldest lady?" Zhao Xi's face was ferocious.

"What's more, the eldest lady doesn't seem to have a good relationship with anyone in the Jiang family. Now she trusts me so much. If she finds out that I want to seduce her..."

Zhao Xi seemed to see Jiang Shuliu's disgusted look as he stood in front of her: "Dare to betray me, I'll sink her into the lake!"

No!—Zhao Xi held her head and wailed silently.

Zhao Xi has been on so many missions, but this is the first time she has encountered one that is so difficult for her.

The bottom line is that Zhao Xi didn't want to hurt the eldest lady.

Jiang Shuliu helped her a lot when she came to this world. If it weren't for Jiang Shuliu, with her current identity, it would be extremely difficult for her to come to the capital and meet the male and female protagonists.

"No, I have to think carefully about what to do." Zhao Xi frowned and thought about it. He still felt that he should sort out the relationship between Jiang Shuliu and most people in the Jiang Mansion.

Zhao Xi did what she said, and after a day of running around, she finally found out something. But after finding out, she became even more desperate.

Jiang Shuliu has a very high status. Her father is Jiang Jingtao, and her mother is the eldest wife of the main house, Ji Ru, the youngest daughter of the Ji family. Their relationship is a business marriage.

If it were just this it would be normal, but the mistake is that Ji Ru has a lover she likes.

There was even a scandal where the bride ran away on the wedding day.

But in the end, Ji Ru was caught and got married. But the man was not caught and was said to have escaped.

Just two months after Ji Ru married Jiang Jingtao, she became pregnant.

Because Ji Ru's escape from marriage had caused a sensation in the whole capital at that time, and now her pregnancy was so coincidental, who knew if Jiang Jingtao would have a green hat on his head.

Faced with such a wife, Jiang Jingtao was naturally unhappy, but he could not divorce her, so concubines came in one after another. The Ji family was at fault first, so naturally they did not dare to say much about such a situation.

Therefore, one year after Ji Ru gave birth to Jiang Shuliu, Jiang Jin was born.

One is the daughter born to his disliked wife, and the other is the son born to his favorite concubine. There is no need to guess which one Jiang Jingtao cares about.

And when Jiang Shuliu was three years old, Ji Ru hanged herself.

Jiang Shuliu grew up in such an environment.
