Jinghong Tower

No.16 Chapter [-]: Love in Jinyi
"In addition, the news about Jinghong Tower's search for our ancestors should have been sent to the capital by now. The capital will send people over, and we should get ready."

He Ran crossed his legs leisurely and threw another peanut into his mouth.

Zuo Xiaoai's expression condensed. What was on her mind: "Are we causing trouble for the girl?"

He Ran picked up the handkerchief and wiped off the peanut red clothes stuck to her fingers: "It doesn't matter, it's a good trouble. What's supposed to come will eventually come. She has no sense of security. She ate a big meal from Prince Jin." Unfortunately, I can’t afford to cause trouble for the time being, so I have to find some confidence in myself. I’m not sure I would have turned into ashes long ago, so how can she be sure that she is the one who will live to the end and have the last laugh, haha.”

Zuo Xiaoai could only understand half of He Ran's words, but it didn't matter, the girl was always right.

"Girl, what is Xiao Ai going to do?" Zuo Xiao Ai's old eyes sparkled with excitement, as if he had suddenly become dozens of years younger.

He Ran pursed her lips and smiled, twitching her fingers at her: "Put your ears over."

After a while, He Ran stood up and dusted off her clothes: "Okay, I'm going back. I'll leave Xiaoba here with you and let me know if anything happens."

She pressed Xiaoba's head with her finger: "You are quite old. Set a good example for the young people and stop using bad words."

Xiaoba: "Why is it always me who gets hurt?"

He Ran hummed a song and returned to He Mansion. As soon as she entered the second door, she saw Yan'er.

"Miss, where have you been? Madam is feeling unwell and asked you to come over and take care of her."

He Ran nodded in agreement and went directly to see Yan without returning to He Shuyun's yard.

Worried about being ordered around by the old lady again, Yan lay down when she came back. She wasn't pretending, the fall from Master He yesterday was really painful.

When He Ran arrived, neither He Shuming nor He Shuqiao were there. Of course, Yan was reluctant to let them serve.

He Ran's eyes swept around the faces of the maids and women in the room, and said, "My mother is sick. Didn't anyone tell the second sister? In addition to the second sister, the eldest girl should also know, otherwise the news will spread and outsiders will know." They would not believe that the mother felt sorry for them and had worked so hard to serve the sick, so she did not notify them. They would only think that the second sister was unfilial. As for the eldest girl, others would only say that she was a wolf with a bad heart and a white eye. Maybe they would also say that the child will follow whoever raises her. .”

Yan was leaning on the big pillow in a sickly manner, but now he sat up straight and pointed at her with his finger: "You, you, you"

"Ha, it seems that I am not only a lucky star, but I can also cure all diseases. As soon as I came, my mother's back pain was cured. Quick, spread the word. After my careful care, my mother has been cured!"

Does the maid and the eldest lady mean to let them spread the word?
Yan stared at He Ran in disbelief. She swore that the fake in front of her was the most shameless person she had ever seen.

He Ran was too lazy to look at her one more time, twisted her waist, walked with charming steps, and walked, walked, and walked.

Two days later, guests were arriving in front of Jinghong Tower, and flowers were blooming.

Suddenly, a burst of rapid hoofbeats broke the bustling scene, not one horse, but many horses.

A group of red-robed and black-armored warriors approached from far away. They dismounted in front of Jinghong Tower. The leader stood upright and majestic. He looked around with his eyes as sharp as an eagle.

"Jinyiwei is handling the case, and everyone else should stay out of the way!"

In just an instant, Jinghong Tower, which was bustling just now, was filled with deathly silence.

Two shopkeepers, one black and one white, hurriedly came out and walked up to the leading general: "I see you, sir. Sir, you have been working hard all the way. Please come inside!"

With a stern look on his face, the Lord nodded and walked into Jinghong Tower with his head held high.

The onlookers retreated one after another, but were reluctant to leave. Some hid behind the trees, and some hid in the shops nearby. Countless pairs of eyes stared intently at the majestic Jinghong Tower.

A window opened, and a green bird flew out. It stayed in the air for a moment, then flapped its wings and flew away.In the hall of Jinghong Tower, all the guests who failed to leave in time put down their chopsticks and looked at the people who walked in with horror like wooden statues.

There are hundreds of Jin Yiwei residences outside Zhending Mansion, and Jin Yiwei often appear in the city, but these Jin Yiwei who came today look more powerful and colder.

Shopkeeper Bai said with a smile on his face: "Sir, there is a private room upstairs, which is quieter."

"No, it's fine here." The leader walked to a table, lifted his robe, and sat on the chair above.

Bai Yun quickly ordered the waiter to serve tea, and the master said coldly: "No need to bother, I am interested in it, so I am here to ask you a few words."

Baiyun and Heitui stood with their hands hanging down: "Master Zhong, please ask, I know everything I know."

"Okay!" Zhong Yi took out a piece of paper from his arms, shook it, and put it on the table.

Kurotsuchi boldly took a look. Isn't this the missing person notice that was posted a few days ago?
Zhong Yi smiled slightly: "Recognize it? Did you post this?"

"Yes, it was the villain who asked someone to post it." Kurotsuchi and Baiyun answered honestly.

"I heard that what you are looking for is your ancestor, have you found it?" Zhong Yi asked.

"Sir, this ancestor is our brother's great-grandmother. She is old and sometimes a little confused. We didn't see any of our brothers that day, so my great-grandmother went out by herself. Fortunately, she was found the same day. , a false alarm, a false alarm.”

"Oh, I found him. Where is he? Can I see him?" Zhong Yi said.

"My great-grandmother is in the building, but she is very old."

Before Heitu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhong Yi: "I always respect the elderly."

"Okay, Sir, please wait a moment. I will go and invite my grandma over now." Kurotsuchi winked at Baiyun, then turned and walked up the stairs.

After a while, Kurotsuchi helped an old lady walk down the stairs. The old lady was dressed in wealth, but she was just an ordinary old lady. Her waist was bent, her back was stooped, and her steps were hobbling.

Zhong Yi looked at the old lady without hesitation, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

Although this old lady is old, she looks younger than the Empress Dowager. No matter how she looks, she does not look like the person the Empress Dowager is looking for.

Besides, even if that person is still alive, even if he is very old, he will not look like this.

Although there was an old lady in front of him, it was already very rude for Zhong Yi to stare like this, but no one dared to scold him. Kurotsuchi helped the old lady walk to Zhong Yi. The old lady looked at Zhong Yi and then turned to look at him. Kurotsuchi: "The boy is so tanned. How did you become an older brother? Didn't you put any perfume on him?"

Then he said to Zhong Yi: "Little darling, don't worry, my grandma will buy you some incense. If you put it on, it won't make you black."

Zhong Yi was stunned.

Kurotsuchi looked embarrassed: "Tai Lao, this is not a waiter, this is an adult from the capital."

"What are you talking about? Don't you recognize my own great-grandson? Xiao Er, you're such a good boy. Let's ignore your brother." The old lady reached out to take Zhong Yi's hand, and Zhong Yi hurriedly went to Moved aside.

Kurotsuchi apologized hurriedly: "Sir, don't blame me, my grandma is an old man."
