Chapter 187 Nightmare Comes
A good family banquet broke up unhappy, and Jiang Luo's expression has not been good since the money was taken back by Jiang's mother.

But even so, for the sake of face, she stayed until dinner before saying goodbye to Mother Jiang and getting into Gu's carriage.

The carriage has been parked at the entrance of the alley a few steps away from Jiang's mansion. Jiang Luo has no patience and doesn't like to have someone close to him.It was getting late, the sky was full of stars, and the horse flicked its tail and snorted.

With Yunjin's support, Jiang Luo got into the carriage, and just as she opened the door curtain and got in, the system that had been silent all this time made a sharp sound [Warning!warn!Danger!Danger!Please the host leave immediately! 】The system's warning speed was very fast, but Jiang Luo was delayed for a moment, and half of her body got into the carriage.

The interior of the carriage was very dark, and in addition to the faint scent of incense, it was also mixed with the smell of blood.What was even more frightening was that Jiang Luo also saw a man sitting on the cushion she usually used.

"Yun..." Before Jiang Luo could say anything, there was a flash of cold light, and with a chilling chill, a sharp dagger was already on Jiang Luo's neck.And also threatened to press hard.

Jiang Luo was terrified and bent over, not daring to move.Yun Jin, who was standing under the carriage and supported her, whispered in confusion: "Madam?"

"It's nothing..." Jiang Luo couldn't see the man's face clearly, but he could see him putting his fingers to his lips in a silent gesture.

The man seemed to chuckle when he saw Jiang Luo froze and didn't dare to move, then he exerted force on his arm, following his movements, Jiang Luo crashed into his arms.

His body was cold and his chest was hard.Jiang Luo was trembling with fear, but the man leaned close to her earlobe and said softly: "I was quite courageous when you asked me to kill someone for you, why are you so timid now?"

kill?When did I want him to kill someone?Jiang Luo was puzzled by the man's words.

It seems that he may have identified the wrong person.

She softened her body and exhaled like blue.It seems that Chuchu is pitiful and hopes to let the man let him go with her beauty: "I have never met the young master, so how can I kill someone?"

"Never seen it before? The little lady is really ruthless." The man sneered, and put his palm on her abdomen.His palms were very hot, and the hot Jiang Luo could hardly sit still: "I almost died because of Miss Jiang. Now it's really sad to say that I have never seen it."

Miss Jiang... Jiang Luo regained her spirits and grasped the point. Could it be that she came to seek revenge on Jiang Changning?

Seeing that Jiang Luo got into the carriage and there was no movement, Yun Jin also felt that something was wrong, so she called out tentatively: "Is Madam okay?"

"Ma'am? Are you married?" The man paused slightly, and his tone became ruthless again.His arm holding Jiang Luo's stomach was so hard that she retched uncontrollably.

As soon as the voice came out, Jiang Luo felt bad.Yun Jin didn't know what was going on in the carriage, she just thought that Jiang Luo was vomiting during pregnancy, and she didn't dare to go in hastily, so she could only support the carriage and asked worriedly: "Madam, did you feel sick again? There is a dim sum shop a few steps ahead. , would you like me to buy some candied fruit?"

Gu Xiujing was injured, Jiang Luo had no choice but to beg on Gu's mother.But Gu's mother was too unfeeling, Jiang Luo could only coax her to conceive Gu Xiujing's flesh and blood in an emergency.

It is natural to do a full set of plays, and I vomit from time to time on weekdays, and the candied fruit and other appetizers in the room are not broken.

Jiang Luo didn't dare to answer Yun Jin's words, so she could only pretend to be impatient and perfunctory: "Don't worry about me, just go back home soon."

Yun Jin didn't say a word anymore, the carriage started to move, and started to go in the direction of Gu's residence.

"Are you pregnant?" The man removed the dagger from Jiang Luo's neck, but slowly slid down from her chest until it reached her lower abdomen: "Whose child is it?"

Jiang Luo only felt a coolness rushing from the heel to the scalp.The weather was hot, but she broke out in a cold sweat abruptly.The man behind is too dangerous, and his identity is unknown.Jiang Luo didn't dare to tell the truth, so she could only beg for mercy tremblingly: "I am the wife of the son of the Duke's mansion, the son has something to say, so please be merciful."

After hearing her words, the man relaxed a little: "Gu Shizi, Gu Xiujing." His tone was playful, and he even sniffed a strand of Jiang Luo's hair in his nose: "It's okay. Yes, you were supposed to be his woman."

His tone was too natural and familiar, Jiang Luo couldn't control her curiosity any longer, she suppressed her fear and asked, "Have you met the young master before?"

The man did not answer but put away the dagger in his hand. The carriage was driving on the official road, and the creaking sound of the wheels made people uneasy.

The man didn't speak again until the carriage returned to Gu's residence.Jiang Luo moved slightly and broke free from his embrace.While watching the man's reaction, she leaned her back against the car wall and slowly moved out.Seeing that the carriage was about to get out, the man's words made Jiang Luo stop.

His voice was very low, it could be said that he was careless, but Jiang Luo's heart fell into an ice cave: "Does Mrs. Gu still want to kill Jiang Changning?"

Jiang Luo's hand was tightly clutching the door curtain, she turned her back to the man, looked at the two lanterns burning outside the carriage at the gate of Gu's residence, the light in her eyes was flickering.After hesitating for a moment, he opened his lips and answered the man's words: "Of course I wanted to."

The man chuckled a few times as if he was very happy: "That's what Mrs. Gu said."

Jiang Luo got off the carriage expressionlessly, and naturally heard the man's voice, Yun Jinli, who was so close, she supported Jiang Luo and dared not look at her face.

Fortunately, Jiang Luo didn't make things too difficult, and the two entered Gu's residence without looking back.It wasn't until the sticky gaze behind her disappeared that Jiang Luo fell to the ground as if she had lost all her strength.

Yun Jin hurried to help her up, Jiang Luo held her hand tightly as if grabbing a life-saving straw: "Today's matter must never be mentioned to others." Jiang Luo's nails are very long, and Yun Jin only feels that her forearm is tight. She didn't dare to resist the last sharp stabbing pain, so she quickly answered yes.

The whole Gu mansion was very quiet, only Gu Xiujing's yard was still lit.Jiang Luo thought for a while before turning around and walked towards Gu Xiujing's room.

The light-yellow embroidered shoes made no sound when they stepped on the bluestone slabs. The window of the room was open, and only a graceful figure could be vaguely seen swaying.

Like a ghost, Jiang Luo stopped in her tracks, and she asked Yun Jin to help them to the flower window.Jiang Luo looked sideways into the room, and saw the little maid who helped Gu Xiujing scrub last time was looking at the man lying on the bed obsessively.

Gu Xiujing was fast asleep with her eyes closed, the maid looked around very cautiously, and when she saw no one was there, she boldly reached out and took off the men's coat hanging on the side.The clothes have been scented with incense, with a bit of agarwood sweetness.The little maid carefully put the clothes on her nose, and took a deep breath as if intoxicated.

"Shameless little bitch!" Yun Jin spat, rolled up her sleeves and wanted to rush forward, but was stopped by Jiang Luo with her arm.

"I stopped her today, and there will be others in the future, let her go."

"But ma'am, you are still pregnant with the child—" Although Yun Jin was afraid of Jiang Luo, it did not prevent her from protecting Jiang Luo.The two masters and servants are both prosperous and both are prosperous, and both of them are damaged. Naturally, they have to help each other.

Jiang Luo looked at the young maid in the room with a look of youthfulness, but she had other plans.

As the days passed day after day, sooner or later the secret in my stomach could not be kept hidden.She had to find a way to make the child "disappear" in a very reasonable way before her belly grew.

Jiang Luo's eyes looked at everything in the room coldly, she watched the little maid put down her clothes, and stretched out her hand to Gu Xiujing.Her hand brushed Gu Xiujing's straight eyebrows and soft lips lightly, and Yun Jin's expression on the side was hard to describe.

Jiang Luo took two steps back, Yun Jin was overjoyed, thinking that Jiang Luo was going to make a move.But seeing that there was no trace of anger on her face, she turned away as if she didn't see what the little maidservant did.

"If madam feels upset, you can leave this matter to the servant, and the servant will let that little hoof kowtow to the madam to apologize."

"No, don't move this person for now, I'll keep her for my own magical use."

Jiang Luo has already made up her mind, and now that she is giving some sweetness, the little maid will help the "child" with this favor.

It has been more than a month since Qin Huaisu left the capital, and it is estimated that the army has already reached the border between Xining and Dasheng.The battle situation is urgent, and it is inconvenient to exchange letters. In the previous life, Qin Huaisu did not go to war like this. Jiang Changning said that he was not worried, but he was lying.

The weather was sweltering, and Gu's mother saw that Jiang Changning's eyebrows were always full of depression, so she asked Jiang Changning and Jiang Changyuan to go to Qingfeng Villa to cool off the heat.

Coincidentally, Qingfeng Villa is the property of Rongfu, a wealthy businessman in central Beijing.

That Zhuangzi covers a vast area, with pavilions, terraces, attics, fragrant ponds and waterside pavilions.It is also backed by Qingfeng Mountain, with dense forests and magnificent lakes and waterfalls.Naturally, it is a good place for ladies and gentlemen in Beijing to cool off from the summer heat.

Originally, Mother Jiang was going to go together, but she accidentally twisted her foot before going out.Jiang Changning naturally wanted to stay and serve and was unwilling to go out again.

Jiang's mother was unwilling, and lost her temper with a straight face, saying that there is no reason for a young girl to guard an old woman every day.Either way, Jiang Changning and Jiang Changyuan were kicked out of the house.

Seeing that the carriage of Jiang's mansion was gradually going away, Mammy returned to the mansion to report to Jiang's mother who was lying on the collapsed floor.

"Sister Ning and Sister Yuan are gone?"

"Yes."

Mother Jiang nodded, feeling relieved.

Nanny poured Mother Jiang a cup of tea, Mother Jiang drank the tea, and the tired look on her face eased.

The nanny intentionally made her happy: "The girls are not here, this mansion feels much deserted."

Mother Jiang remained silent, looking preoccupied.

The nanny looked at it and smiled: "The old lady is worried about the girl?"

"It's not this—" Mother Jiang looked out the window, frowning tightly, as if she was a little embarrassed to speak.

"The servant has served Madam for decades, so it is natural for her to speak to Madam. Is there anything else that cannot be said to Madam?"

Mother Jiang didn't answer for a while, obviously still weighing the pros and cons.But this matter is too complicated, Mammy has been with me for a long time, so she should be able to come up with some ideas.

Mother Jiang made up her mind, and after a moment of deliberation, she said to Mammy, "Do you think Luo'er looks like me and Master Hou?" After finishing speaking, she stared closely at Mammy, not missing a trace of expression on her face.

Mammy never thought Mother Jiang would ask such a question, and a look of surprise flashed across her face for a moment: "Why would Madam ask such a question?"

"I've been in a state of restlessness for the past few days. For several days in a row, someone told me I was wrong, wrong. Then I dreamed of Lord Hou, and tears of blood flowed from his eyes when he looked at me." Mother Jiang said more and more. Uneasy, she grabbed Nanny's hand eagerly looking for approval: "Tell me, Luo'er—"

Mother Jiang's words were not finished, and the mother took over the conversation: "Madam would like to ask, is the second girl the daughter of the Jiang family?"

When Mammy asked this question, Mother Jiang felt relieved, and her tense expression softened.

"Since Luo'er returned home, my heart has not been very stable, and I always feel that something is missing. This child's temperament is completely different from mine and Lord Hou." Jiang's mother frowned tightly: "If you say it is similar, it is true. Sister Ning is more like me and Master Hou."

Listening to Mother Jiang's words, Mammy recalled Jiang Luo's demeanor before she left the cabinet and subconsciously said: "Speaking of the second girl, Madam Wei has seen what the Wei family and He Da look like. It is inevitable for me to change my temper if I follow them."

Mother Jiang nodded, and there was still no trace of relaxation between her brows: "I thought about what you said, but when Luoer came back a few days ago, I felt a lot strange when I saw it again, and even saw it through her. Another strange face."

Mother Jiang tightly grasped the thin quilt under her body, as if she was a little frightened: "Don't you think that Luo'er's appearance has changed a lot compared to when she first entered the mansion?"

Seeing Mother Jiang's appearance, Mammy hurriedly sat down next to her, and held her cold hands in her palms: "Mammy Yang's only son and daughter-in-law are both in Zhangzhou's hometown. If Madam can't let go, why don't you send someone to check it out?" them."

"If I do this, will I be too ruthless to Luo'er..." Mother Jiang was still hesitating, but Nanny said patiently: "In my servant's opinion, it's not certain that Nanny Yang might be dizzy and make a mistake. The relationship is very important, if the madam feels ashamed of the second girl, we will hide it from her. If it is right, it is wrong, anyway, the second girl is already the wife of the son, and the madam has nothing to do to her."

Mother Jiang nodded after hearing this, and her eyes became firmer as she approved what Mammy said.

In fact, what really made Jiang's mother determined to investigate was that she suddenly remembered that when she gave birth in the ruined temple that day, besides Nanny Yang who was with her, there was also the second aunt who had just entered the mansion at that time.

She should know something about what happened that day.

He also remembered the specious things that the second aunt who had always lived in seclusion suddenly came to him when Jiang Luo first entered the mansion.At that time, she only cared about being happy and didn't think deeply, but now thinking about it, every word she said was meaningful.

Mother Jiang's complexion changed drastically, and she couldn't sit still anymore.Holding the bed collapsed, I wanted to wear shoes and call someone.

Mammy hurriedly stopped him, and it took a lot of talking to persuade him to stop.She supported Mother Jiang to lie down again and comforted her: "Madam, don't worry, I will leave this matter to the slaves. Find some smart people, and take care of finding out the truth of the matter."

Mother Jiang smiled and said: "You are naturally safe in doing things, but you still need to hide this matter from a few girls in the mansion..."
