The second aunt was beaten, and Wanyang, as a guest, could not stay in front of others without blinking.
She could only take a polite sip of tea and let the servant arranged by Governor Xiao take her to the courtyard where she was resting.
The yard this time is not as remote as last time. The antique furnishings, foreign beds and sofas in the house are all of the top quality of this era.
As soon as she threw the parchment into the system space, she heard the little girl and Xiao Jingliang chatting outside.
"Fourth Young Master, Miss Wan should be resting now. How about you go back first and I will inform you when Miss Wan wakes up?"
"No, I'll just wait here." With a naughty smile on his face, Xiao Jingliang leaned against the pillar in front of the door and asked in a teasing tone: "You are quite pretty. What's your name?"
What's your name? Why haven't I seen you before?"
"To tell you what the young master is saying, my name is Ju...Xiang." Ju Xiang lowered her head and replied with a blushing face when he asked.
The smile on Xiao Jingliang's face deepened: "Juxiang? That's a nice name. Where are you from? When did you enter the Governor's Mansion?"
"Back to the young master, I used to do rough work in the kitchen. Two days ago, the steward asked me to serve Miss Wan..."
Wanyang stood behind the door and observed the situation outside. When she saw Xiao Jingliang teasing the girl who was waiting for her, she glanced towards the door, and she knew that this guy must have noticed that she was behind the door.
Therefore, Wan Yang opened the door and walked out before Ju Xiang finished speaking.
Before opening the door, her expression returned from expressionless to that timid look: "Fourth Young Master, I wonder what you have come to Wanyang for?"
When Xiao Jingliang saw her coming out, the rascal energy in his body did not subside at all.
"Oh~ I didn't expect that my future sister-in-law has a voice as beautiful as an oriole. It seems that my eldest brother will be blessed in the future." Xiao Jingliang said with a playful smile.
When Ju Xiang saw Wanyang coming out, she quickly lowered her head.
After hearing what he said, Wanyang's face suddenly became complicated, as if she was about to blurt out something, but she held it back.
Although Xiao Jingliang was wondering why she was like this, she still had the same look on her face.
However, he spoke again: "My old man asked me to accompany my future sister-in-law to get familiar with the Governor's Mansion. I don't dare to neglect it. I'm just here. I wonder if my future sister-in-law is free at the moment?"
Wan Yang was quite curious about what kind of person he was in this world, so he nodded slightly to show that he was free.
Xiao Jingliang hooked her hand and said, "Since my future sister-in-law is free now, let's go."
"It's just trouble for the fourth young master." Wan Yang bowed slightly and then asked, as if remembering something, "I wonder if the second concubine is feeling better now? Doesn't the fourth young master need to accompany the second concubine at this time?"
The expression on Xiao Jingliang's face did not change at all when he heard this: "Haha~ The future sister-in-law is really kind and kind-hearted. My mother has long liked the old man doing that to him. At this moment, she should be basking in the sun in the yard.
Woolen cloth!"
Wanyang was just testing him, but his performance made Wanyang more certain that the mother-son relationship between him and his second concubine might not be that simple.
The main reason is that since meeting him, all his behaviors have not reflected the normal concern of a son for his mother.
In her previous world, she lived in a splendid palace, and she had no interest in a house like the Governor's Mansion.
If she didn't want to see if Xiao Jingliang was suitable for forming an alliance in the future, she wouldn't bother to follow him around the house.
The two of them didn't say anything along the way. They walked to a bamboo forest in the backyard of the Governor's Mansion. In order to stir up the topic, Wanyang sighed softly: "I didn't expect that the Governor's Mansion would have such an elegant place."
Xiao Jingliang turned his head and said with a smile: "Anyway, this is also the house left behind by the prince. Some places always have some elegance, but now it has become the Governor's Mansion. There are too many big soldiers coming and going in this mansion.
, but it has blocked some elegant places a lot, and this is the best-preserved scene in the Governor's Mansion."
While he was still saying this, the two of them had already passed through the bamboo forest.
After walking around the rockery with strange ridges and rocks, Wanyang saw various flowers of this season planted in the flower bed not far away. Just as he was about to praise her again, Xiao Jingliang suddenly turned around and grabbed his neck.
She wanted to resist, but her original body was too weak, so she could only pretend to be frightened and said in fear: "Four... Young Master, what are you doing? Let me go!"
"Let you go?" Xiao Jingliang smiled evilly and pushed her down on the rockery. "According to the information I investigated, the future sister-in-law does not seem to be as timid as she appears. Tell me, what kind of person do you have when you come to my Xiao family?"
What is the purpose? Not to mention to fulfill the engagement with my eldest brother, let alone to ask the old man to help investigate the real culprit who killed your parents. I am not as stupid as the old man and the others."
Some time ago, he personally went to the Wan family's city to investigate. The content of the investigation allowed him to judge that the Wan family's housekeeper would never betray the Wan family.
Although the whereabouts of the butler going to the West were somewhat hidden, he still found out that the list of servants of the Wan family that the butler had taken away were all related to the so-called future sister-in-law.
Moreover, he did not believe that a woman who had stayed abroad alone for more than a year would still have the cowardice of those backyard women when she returned to China.
Wan Yang was determined. He didn't dare to do anything to him for the time being. Tears flowed from his eyes unbridled, and he raised his hands and began to struggle: "Fourth Young Master, I don't understand what you are talking about..."
Xiao Dujun and Xiao Jingmo must have also investigated her. However, one of these two men despised women from the bottom of his heart and felt that a weak woman could not make a big splash.
One is that he carries the unique self-confidence of every domineering male protagonist. To put it bluntly, he is also a male chauvinist.
So even if the two of them investigated, it would be difficult for them to see the abnormalities she was covering up.
Xiao Jingliang is considered an outsider in this world who is separated from the main story line of the male and female protagonists and has an identity. It is not unusual to discover her abnormality.
"I advise my future sister-in-law to be more sensible and stop pretending in front of me, otherwise I will give the old man the evidence I have, and you will be in trouble." Xiao Jingliang's tone became more and more cruel, and the smile on his face
It's not even close to the eyesight.
Wanyang was not angry when she heard his threat.
The results of this trip confirmed that he was not the ruffian he appeared to be, so her plan to form an alliance with him in the future could be carried out.
However, she can't expose herself yet. Although this person is different from what he appears, it doesn't mean that he is not the playboy that Governor Xiao calls him.
Wait for her to observe for a while. If he is really a frivolous young man, then chop him up and feed him to the dogs!
Anyway, on the way to completing the mission, whether there is an alliance or not is just a short road to her.
