Dressed as cannon fodder, fake daughter, she worked hard

Chapter 236 Reunion

half a month later.

Linyi, Xie Mansion.

Jiang Yan sneaked out of the banquet under the pretext of cleaning his hands, and walked around Xie's mansion.

After coming out of a flower planting corridor, he suddenly found a man in a royal blue robe standing in front of him with his hands behind his back, as if he was waiting for someone.

Jiang Yan paused.

——It’s Mr. Xie’s eldest son, Xie Wangmu.

Seeing Xie Wangmu walking towards him, Jiang Yan smiled: "Mr. Xie, what's the matter?"

Xie Wangmu nodded calmly: "It is true that I have something to ask Mr. Jiang."

"Let's take a step to talk?"

Jiang Yan's eyes moved slightly.

The two arrived at a very remote and simple living room, Xie Wangmu poured tea for Jiang Yan: "Master Jiang drank a lot of wine at the banquet today, let's drink some tea."

He half-joked: "This is the secret base of my childhood. Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. When you are unhappy, you just hide here. The nurse will find me all day long."

There was a brief gurgling sound as the tea poured into the cup, and Jiang Yan's eyes fell on the bright yellow tea soup.

What is the meaning of Xie Wangmu's words...

Want to tell yourself that the privacy here is excellent, and no one will hear you?
Jiang Yan said calmly, "Mr. Xie is the eldest son of the Xie family, with wealth, honor and power all in one, will there be unhappy things?"

Putting the two teacups in front of himself and Jiang Yan respectively, Xie Wangmu sighed and smiled bitterly: "Master Jiang only knows one, not the other."

"My father has more than a dozen sons, probably because of this, he didn't treat me differently just because I was the eldest son... My mother passed away early, and the other aunts blew the wind on the pillow, so my father forgot about my son. .”

"Servants and maidservants also watch people order dishes. In the courtyard of the deep house, no one will respect from the bottom of their hearts the son who is motherless and unloved."

Xie Wangmu did not hesitate to expose his own childhood embarrassment.

"Fortunately, there is a nursing mother to protect her, so that she can grow up safely."

Jiang Yan said with a smile: "Then Mr. Xie has finally come to the end of all hardships."

Xie Wangmu raised his head and drank the tea, with a pained expression on his face: "Now that I have made some achievements, I am gradually valued by my father, but I don't have the blessing to be filial to my nurse... She passed away a few years ago."

"Condolences."

Hearing this, Xie Wangmu squeezed the teacup tightly: "To be honest, I have always suspected that my wet nurse's death was deliberately done by someone, and moreover, it was someone from the Xie family."

Xie Wangmu forced a smile on his face: "It's been a long time now, I don't expect to find out the real culprit, it's just that my wet nurse always had expectations for me..."

He said this, but he didn't say any more.

Jiang Yan lowered his eyes slightly.

What kind of medicine is sold in this man's gourd.

Xie Wangmu didn't say anything, Jiang Yan didn't ask, the two just sat facing each other and drank a whole pot of tea.

To be precise, Xie Wangmu drank a whole pot of tea, and the cup in front of Jiang Yan was completely cold without stirring.

Until the incense in the censer by the table broke off one piece after another, and the last piece was also poured into the spreading incense ash, and the upward smoke was completely gone in the midair.

Xie Wangmu finally couldn't help it, and found a topic to continue talking.

He smiled helplessly: "Afraid that I will poison the tea?"

"I drank it myself, so there's no need to put myself on it."

Jiang Yan's tone was as usual: "Young Master Xie was joking, but I just drank too much wine, I'm really supportive."

He teased himself: "I'm too strong to drink, I just stayed around for a while."

Xie Wangmu didn't know if there was a letter, but he kept a smile on his face: "So that's how it is."

He pondered for a moment, finally got to the point, and said in a deep voice: "My wet nurse can't understand the behavior of several aristocratic families in Linyi, and always hopes that after I take over the Xie family, I can rectify this kind of atmosphere."

Jiang Yan seemed a little surprised, but didn't respond.

Xie Wangmu looked at him firmly: "So Master Jiang, do you understand what I mean?"

"To be honest, I can't stand what my father has done."

Xie Wangmu shook his head helplessly: "It's just that he is my father after all, and the head of the Xie family. I have to rely on him everywhere, and there is no way."

Xie Wangmu's tone was meaningful: "Fortunately, I have found a like-minded person now."

It turned out that this was the idea.

Jiang Yan smiled, but still said: "I don't understand what Mr. Xie said."

Xie Wangmu made a gesture of toasting, and although it was a question, his tone was affirmative: "Master Jiang is ordered by the emperor to solve the monopoly of the Xie family and other clans in Linyi?"

Jiang Yan was surprised: "Why would Mr. Xie ask such a question?"

Xie Wangmu said earnestly: "The first time I met Mr. Jiang, I felt that you are not someone in the pool, and you are definitely not a short-sighted person who only covets temporary wealth."

Jiang Yan shook his head: "I am a duckweed person who was expelled from the house. Now that I can receive this kind of treatment, I only hope that I can stick to the status quo. I don't have the kind of grand ambition that Master Xie said."

His tone was sincere: "On the contrary, Mr. Xie treated me well. Now I only hope that the Xie clan will prosper for a long time, so that I can keep my wealth and glory for the rest of my life."

Is Xie Wangmu testing himself... or is he trying to use his hand to successfully succeed Master Xie?
Either way, now is not the time to be honest.

Xie Wangmu didn't believe this, and continued to say, Jiang Yan had already got up: "Master Xie can't stand it, it's Young Master Xie's business, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."

He changed his name, as if expressing his attitude.

"Jiang only wants to be wise and protect himself, and pretend he didn't hear about what happened today."

Looking at the back of the other party who opened the door and left, Xie Wangmu's eyes flashed with a quick look, but he didn't make a sound to persuade him to stay.

After returning to the banquet and Jiang Yan was seated again, Mr. Xie turned his head and said with a smile: "Master Jiang has been here for a long time."

"Could it be that something got stuck?"

Master Xie spoke kindly, but his tone was sharp, as if the words he said had some deep meaning.

Jiang Yan said calmly, "I'm really stuck."

Master Xie looked at the chair and leaned back: "Oh?"

I just heard him say: "The carved beams and painted buildings of Xie's mansion, the cornices and brackets, fascinated my eyes for a while."

Master Xie laughed loudly: "Master Jiang grew up in the Hou's Mansion, and the Hou's Mansion—won't it be better if I don't need my place?"

Jiang Yan said with a smile: "I used to live under the fence, how dare I observe carefully."

"Now it's because of your good temper that you dare to look around a little bit. If you can have a tenth of a house like the Xie Mansion in the future, it will be regarded as a meritorious deed in your previous life."

Master Xie pointed out: "Although I have a good temper, I can't tolerate everything."

"However, for those who are sincere and sincere, I will definitely not treat them badly—as long as Mr. Jiang does not go astray, what is this mere scenery?"

This is hitting him.

Jiang Yan greeted a few words with a smile, and acted on the occasion again, until it was very late, and the banquet slowly ended.

After leaving Xie's mansion, Jiang Yan was dragged away by Jin Weiyi who was waiting outside.

Jin Weiyi lowered his voice: "Master Jiang, take you somewhere!"

Then mysteriously dragged him into a bustling street.

"It's here."

Jiang Yan looked up.

The capitalized three words "Nanfeng Pavilion" came into view.

The name is elegant, but there is no need to delve into what is inside.

Jiang Yan thought that Jin Weiyi was going to take him to some important place, there was some important news, but he didn't expect it to be here.

With a slight frown between his eyebrows, he was about to leave, but he seemed to feel something, and turned his head slightly.

Jiang Sheng, with a thin cloak on his shoulders, stood not far away, the lights were bright and shining.
