Work overtime

Seeing the loosening of Jiang Yuebai's brows and eyes, Mrs. Xie was overjoyed. It looked like there was something going on, and she said with a smile:

"There are some things that you are too young to understand. A common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of having a treasure. I heard that although you entered the palace not long ago, you have made good friends with my daughter and are her savior. I just think that I can't be as gentle as you and Yirou. Become sisters, be a family, take care of each other, and not be alone. If you can't make up your mind, go back and think about it, and you will understand whether what I said makes sense."

These words instantly brought Jiang Yuebai back to reality.

Be the goddaughter of the Xie family?
They are indeed powerful. General Xie has been named a Duke, Xie Kewei is the queen, and Mrs. Xie is the second-class lady.

But there has been a saying since ancient times, great achievements shock the master.

In case of rebellion, or the emperor wants to clean up their Xie family and take back military power.

Wouldn't it be possible to kill the Nine Clan and bring harm to his family?
Jiang Yuebai's reaction of pretending to be stupid was as expected by Madam Xie, and she was even a little satisfied.

It can be regarded as having both ability and political integrity.

For such a smart and knowledgeable woman, being her goddaughter would at least not be a drag on the Xie family.

If you agree immediately, Mrs. Xie will look down on you.

She had her own plan to recognize Jiang Yuebai as her goddaughter.

It's not a bad idea for her daughter to have someone like Jiang Yuebai as an ally.On the contrary, it would be very disadvantageous if Jiang Yuebai was so favored by the emperor, but was attracted by Concubine He and Concubine Jing and became his opponent.

At this time, the queen is in a coma. If she can win over low-ranking concubines like Jiang Yuebai who have no background to compete for favor, she can take the opportunity to suppress the high-ranking concubines He and Jing to prevent them from becoming pregnant with the dragon son first.

If Jiang Yuebai is pregnant with a dragon, because of her status, she does not have the right to raise the child, the queen can just help take care of her "godsister's" child.

Get more in one fell swoop.

Mrs. Xie stared at Jiang Yuebai for a long time, looking determined to win, "Fugui, you can think about it slowly, we have plenty of time. There is no rush."

Jiang Yuebai raised his face, his eyebrows were clear, and he smiled at Madam Xie, "I am just a commoner, and I never covet things that do not belong to me."

Mrs. Xie was not annoyed and smiled calmly.

"Many times destiny has its own trajectory, forcing people to make choices. And life is often determined by a few choices. Once you make the wrong choice, you will take a completely different path. Fly with the cranes and see what you see They are all high in the sun, moon, and mountains. They are among mosquitoes and flies, and everything that enters your eyes is dark and filthy."

Jiang Yuebai nodded thoughtfully and asked sincerely, "Then what choice do you think I should make, Madam, so that I can fly with the cranes?"

Mrs. Xie was really surprised that this girl dared to throw the question back.This forces her to boast that the Xie family is a crane.

Hahahahaha...

This is the first person besides her family who dares to talk to her like this.

Fun and bold!

Mrs. Xie smiled slightly, "Fugui is joking, I am not qualified to give advice to Fugui. You have the same sassy aura as Yirou, which is different from other women in the palace. Seeing you is like seeing my Yirou. soft."

Speaking of this, she sighed when she thought of her comatose daughter, her eyes full of loneliness.

"Madam, the queen is auspicious and has great medical skills. She will definitely wake up soon." Jiang Yuebai said sincerely.

Mrs. Xie thanked her with a smile and took off a jade pendant from her waist. It was not the one that belonged to the mistress that she wanted to give to Jiang Xian before, but it looked extremely valuable at first glance.

"I give you this jade pendant as a way of thanking you for saving Yirou that day."

Rolling up the tassel on the jade pendant, he raised Jiang Yuebai's hand, placed it in her palm, and closed his fingers.

Mrs. Xie stopped smiling and said with a cold face, "I don't like to owe favors to others in my life. This jade pendant means that the Duke Protector of the Country has made a promise to do something for the girl. It is not unfaithful or unjust. You can mention it.”

Jiang Yuebai was silent for a long time, finally nodded, put the jade pendant away in his sleeve, smiled and said thank you.The two of them looked at each other in silence, and simply sat on the stone bench in the yard, ordered someone to make tea, and basked in the sun.

Mrs. Xie squinted her eyes and looked at Jiang Yuebai.

The woman in front of her didn't want to talk to her at all, let alone get anything from her. She looked calm and silent without saying a word, but the more she acted like this, the more Mrs. Xie wanted to have a relationship with Jiang Yuebai.

"I heard that Fugui's swordsmanship is excellent. I happen to know some swordsmanship as well. How about we compete?"

Jiang Yuebai was slightly startled.The first reaction in my heart was, what if I injure the noble Protector of the Country?She can't bear this responsibility.

As if she guessed Jiang Yuebai's thoughts, Mrs. Xie laughed and said, "Did you think it would hurt me? Hahahaha~ You are really worrying too much. My husband and I once wore armor and went to the battlefield."

Jiang Yuebai felt a little embarrassed after being guessed.

Mrs. Xie broke off two branches, one long and one short.He handed the long one to Jiang Yuebai and kept the short one for himself.

"Come on! It's idle anyway. Move your body." Mrs. Xie raised her fingers at Jiang Yuebai.

Today, Mrs. Xie is not as formal as she was in the past few days. She is wearing loose casual clothes to make it easier to take care of her daughter.It doesn't feel out of place to put on a posture.He has silver hair and an angry attitude.

Jiang Yuebai happened to be wearing a loose azure robe.

Looking into Mrs. Xie's eyes, she felt a fire burning inside, her blood boiling, and surging with fervent desire.

He picked up the long branch on the stone table and rushed out.

The little maids waiting on the side looked at each other and stepped back one after another.Only Yuhe seemed not to be surprised, and was so excited that he was gearing up, as if watching a play was not too big a deal.

Mrs. Xie is really not bragging.

Even though he is already over 40 years old, he is strong, light and has extraordinary skills. His swordsmanship level is far above Jiang Yuebai's.

The branch stabbed her chest or throat three times in a row.

Jiang Yuebai was dumbfounded every time.

Madam Xie was secretly surprised that Jiang Yuebai's skills were not at the level of being able to kill more than 30 assassins.

Are those more than 30 assassins just idiots?But that’s not right either.I heard that many imperial guards in the palace were injured that night.

It was Fugui who didn't dare to use his full strength and deliberately gave in to himself.

He said angrily, "I don't need you to give in! Take action!"

Jiang Yuebai lost three times in a row. When she heard this roar, she remembered what Li Beichen had told her before: If you can't deliberately practice fighting spirit and murderous intent, you will lose your life when facing a real enemy.

She recalled what happened that night, and suddenly an amazing power burst out of her body.

Before Mrs. Xie could react, Jiang Yuebai passed her by, and a branch pressed against her neck from behind.

A long-lost tingling pain came from his neck.

She covered her neck in surprise, opened her hands and saw a bright red hand.

Raising her head to look at the woman in front of her, she felt that the sun was a little dazzling, and she felt a little dizzy, with a sly smile flashing in her eyes.

Finally got some connection.

Jiang Yuebai threw away the branch in panic and supported Mrs. Xie, "Madam! Are you okay? I'm sorry."
