Daily Life of Jiang Liuniang

   Chapter 380 Eavesdropping

"It's secluded here. Madam rests here for a while. There must be news from Wutongguan Temple soon." middle.

   Jiang Ling glanced at the lady, and bit her ear with her sister, "This should be Mrs. Yijiang Hou Shizi."

   Jiang Liu nodded, "Brother has seen her?"

   "Wizeng, the facial features of the grandson and granddaughter of Yijiang Marquis are very similar to her." Jiang Ling whispered.

Liu Shen is now in the Imperial College, but he and his brother studied in Qingjin Academy. It is normal for his brother to see him, but Liu Lan, the granddaughter of Hou Yijiang, has not even seen Jiang Liu a few times, and his brother actually remembers her appearance. It was a bit strange, Jiang Liu's peach blossom pupils lit up, and he covered his mouth and snickered.

   Jiang Ling leaned into her ear, "What's wrong?"

  Jiang Liu was afraid that his brother would feel embarrassed, so he didn't mention it, and said softly, "Brother, this madam is much more haggard than before, so she must be ill."

   Last year, Liu Ruyan’s complexion was sallow and her lips were red, I felt pity, but today I see you again, but Xingxiao’s face is thin and gloomy. It’s no wonder that the Houfu of Yijiang sent someone to Wutong to visit Master Chengkong.

   Jiang Ling nodded, "She fell ill in early twelfth last year and has not recovered yet."

   How did my brother know so clearly about the matter of Jianghou Mansion? Jiang Liu rolled his eyes and looked at his brother's eyes with a more meaningful expression. Because of the darkness in the cave, Jiang Ling did not notice the change in his sister. He was not interested in what the people in the pavilion were saying, but he felt good about hiding with his sister in this small space. Jiang Ling was afraid that her sister would numb her legs, so she sat on the stone next to her, pulled her sister's sleeve, and motioned her to sit on his lap.

  Jiang Liu shook his head, leaned into his brother's ear and reminded, "Brother, I'm nine years old."

   "What's the matter? Even if you are eighty years old, you are also my younger sister." Jiang Ling was dissatisfied that the older her younger sister was, the more detached she became from him, and he held onto her sleeve and did not let go.

Why does    sound familiar? Jiang Liu moved over carefully, sat beside his brother, and continued to look out with relish. Since the crack in the wall separating Jiang's and Meng's homes was blocked, she hasn't watched the fun through the crack for a long time. Looking out through the crack today, she feels very nostalgic. It would be great if the fifth sister was here, they could talk about it after reading it, but my brother didn't seem to be in that interest.

  Liu Ruyan just sat in the small pavilion, the master and servant didn't even say a word, which made Jiang Liu, who was waiting to watch the fun, feel so bored, and couldn't help yawning. The cave was shady and cool, and Jiang Ling was worried that her sister would be freezing, so she raised her arms and hugged her. Jiang Liu yawned again and dozed off leaning on his brother.

   Just as she was half asleep and half awake, a voice finally came from outside: "Madam, Master Chengkong is no longer in the Wutong Temple, and his whereabouts are unknown. The people guarding outside the Wutong Temple are gradually dispersed."

   Jiang Liu rubbed his little face, squinted his eyes and looked out, and saw that he was the steward of the Yijiang Houfu of Master Chengkong, who had just gone to Wutong Temple.

  Liu Ruyan was still sitting as dry as a log, and the servant girl standing beside her said dissatisfiedly, "Didn't he go to guard it last night, why is he still missing? He can give birth to wings and fly away!"

   The manager didn't explain anything, lowered his head and said nothing. Liu Ruyan remained silent, and the maid said again, "Go and keep an eye on Duke Shen's residence, they will definitely track down the whereabouts of the master."

  The steward didn't dare, "If the people in the Shen Guogong's manor find out, I won't have enough lives for them to kill me."

   "Is your life more important or your wife's body?" The maid stared, "Why don't you go quickly!"

   The servant looked up at the silent lady, and turned around. The servant girl bent over to straighten the cloak on the prince's wife and persuaded, "Ma'am, it's cold here, will the servant help you go down the mountain and return to the house?"

  Liu Ruyan sat motionless, staring straight into the distance, not knowing what she was looking at, Jiang Liu thought her appearance was quite scary.

After a few words of persuasion, the maid said in a sad voice, "Madam, the young master and the girl are still waiting for you in the Hou residence. Your body is not in good shape yet, we should go back to the residence."

  Thinking of the children, Liu Ruyan involuntarily put her hand on her lower abdomen and murmured, "My body is not getting better."

   Her action and expression, Jiang Liu looked at her, and couldn't help but have a few guesses.

The servant girl in the small pavilion continued to persuade, "Madam, don't say anything depressing, you are still young, as long as you relax, you will soon be able to take care of your body. When Chengkong was promoted by the Imperial Medical Bureau, he had treated many concubines in the harem. Sick, he is good at this way... The Qin family will definitely find him for the sake of Concubine Rong in the palace. Even if the Qin family can't find Master Chengkong, the slaves can still ask Second Master Jiang..."

   "You don't mention him!"

   Liu Ruyan's sharp voice startled Jiang Liu. Jiang Ling quickly supported her sister and patted her back lightly, so that she would not be afraid.

   "Slave should die, madam calm down." The maid knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty.

  Liu Ruyan in the small pavilion pressed her skinny hand on her chest, panting heavily for a moment, and then gradually calmed down, "Don't look for it, if Chengkong can really cure this disease, Wang Qinghe will not die."

   Why did he still mention his deceased mother, Jiang Liu listened more carefully.

The maid persuaded, "... estranged from Wang Qinghe's husband and wife, a person with a good face like him would not go to Master Chengkong for Wang Qinghe's sake. Madam, don't be discouraged, you are different from Wang Qinghe, she was injured during childbirth, you But it is…"

   "Shut up." Liu Ruyan sternly interrupted the maid, thinking of what happened that night, she felt cold all over.

   After the master and servant left, Jiang Liu and his brother got out of the cave and basked in the sun to keep warm. Jiang Ling said, "When you go back, sister don't tell father about it, and don't mention it in front of Mrs. Yazheng."

"Yeah." Liu Ruyan used to be the person Daddy wanted to marry, but Mrs. Yazheng is now Daddy's wife. It's really inappropriate to talk to them about Liu Ruyan, but she has to prevent the woman beside Liu Ruyan from running away. In front of Daddy, there is a lot of trouble, adding to Daddy. Jiang Liu thought for a while, and discussed with his brother, "Let's talk to Jiang Hou'er about this, so that he can keep an eye on the people in Yijiang Houfu, lest they make daddy unhappy."

   Jiang Ling nodded, "I told the monkey."

   You can't tell Dad and Mrs. Yazheng about this, but you can tell my sister. After returning to the mansion, Jiang Liu and his sister talked about this matter, but only omitted the mother-in-law from Yijiang Hou's mansion to mention the matter of father and mother.

   Jiang Muyan whispered to her sister, "I heard that Mrs. Yijiang Hou Shizi accidentally fell in the mansion in the early twelfth year of last year and failed to save the fetus in her womb."

   Listening to Liu Ruyan's meaning, her illness is similar to that of her own mother. Could it be that her mother also had a miscarriage? Jiang Liu looked surprised, it should be... not right?

   Jiang Muyan whispered again, "I heard that she will not be able to get pregnant again in the future, so Yijiang Hou's mansion is looking for a good concubine for Liu Cheng."
