Chapter 7 Ambush
The shop assistant blushed and said, "I'll get it for the girl right now."
When he wrapped the selected pastries in oil paper and handed them to Jiang Youning, his face was still very red: "Girl, take it."
Jiang Youning paid thirty Wen, couldn't wait to open the oil paper, picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, put it in her mouth and took a bite. She hadn't eaten it for several days, and she was almost starving to death.
Shen Yan was about to visit the imperial censor. There were many people on the street and the carriage was moving slowly.
He impatiently lifted the curtain and looked outside, but was attracted by a girl in pink clothes. The girl was eating cakes with a smile on her face.
Her skin is as white as snow, with peach blossoms printed on it, and her almond-shaped eyes are slightly curved and sparkle like stars.
Shen Yan's eyes widened. Almost without thinking, he opened the car door and got out of the carriage, walking towards the pink figure.
Jiang Youning finished the cake in her hand and wiped her hands with a handkerchief. A man suddenly appeared in front of her. When she saw the man's face clearly, she frowned.
Shen Yan said with a smile on his face: "Girl, Shen Yan, I fell in love with her at first sight, can I get acquainted with her?"
Shen Yan believed that Wei was known to everyone in Jinling, and the girl in front of him knew that he was a prodigy, so she would definitely be willing to get acquainted with him.
Jiang Youning took a look at Shen Yan. He was thin and fair-skinned. He was wearing a moon-white gown, and his handsome facial features gave him a strong scholarly air.
Shen Yan had never smiled like this at the original owner.
"You know Jiang Youning..."
Shen Yan immediately explained: "Jiang Youning did not know how to behave and seduced other men in public. I have terminated the engagement with her. Don't get me wrong, girl."
Jiang Youning: "..." Is it really okay to say that in front of me?
Chuntao heard this sentence when she came back. She couldn't bear to see Shen Tanhua abandoning his girl, so she immediately went back.
"Shen Tanhua, it doesn't matter if you can't read well. If you're blind, you're really useless."
Shen Yan was stunned when he saw Chuntao suddenly appearing.
"Girl, there are many people on the street, be careful when you bump into them." Chuntao had a shadow of Jiang Youning being hit last time, so he pulled her away.
Confusion flashed in Shen Yan's eyes, why was Chuntao with that girl?
The Jiang family only has two daughters, and the youngest is only eight years old. Could it be that she is a cousin?
If Jiang Youning had such beauty and aura, he would not break off the engagement and marry her home immediately.

"Ning'er?"
Jiang Youning turned around after hearing the sound and saw Lin Rushuang behind her.
Lin Rushuang is the original owner's close friend. She is one year older than the original owner, and her facial features are not as refined as the original owner.
Lin Rushuang looked Jiang Youning up and down, but she didn't expect that she would change her appearance after not seeing him for a few days.
She held Jiang Youning's hand warmly, "Ning'er, I know you are sad that Shen Tanhua broke off the engagement, but there is nothing you can do if Shen Tanhua doesn't like you."
"..." Jiang Youning withdrew his hand and wiped the hand grabbed by Lin Rushuang with a handkerchief.
Lin Rushuang's hand paused in mid-air. I wonder if it was her imagination. Did Jiang Youning dislike her?
Nan Mianmian walked over waving her handkerchief. If it weren't for Lin Rushuang, she wouldn't have recognized that the beautiful girl in front of her was that ugly Jiang Youning.
"Think Shen Tanhua will change her mind if she becomes beautiful? Shen Tanhua is knowledgeable and talented, but she doesn't like vases."
Lin Rushuang stepped forward with a smile, "What Mianmian said makes sense." When she looked at Jiang Youning, her smile immediately changed, "Ning'er, don't worry about it. Why don't you choose another lover."
These words not only flattered Nan Mianmian, but also offended Jiang Youning.
"I have to go beforehand." Jiang Youning yawned. She was a little tired from shopping. It would be better to go back to sleep while standing and chatting.
After Jiang Youning left, Lin Rushuang flattered her: "Ning'er's identity as a fake daughter has been exposed. She is not even as good as a concubine. Mianmian's status is noble and she cannot compare with her."
Nan Mianmian snorted disdainfully, "She knows how to use these disgusting methods. Without the support of the Jiang family, she will definitely pursue Shen Tanhua."
Lin Rushuang's eyes flashed with a smile after her scheme succeeded, so fast that no one had time to catch it.
In order to make Shen Tanhua think that Jiang Youning was a flirtatious woman, she deliberately pushed Jiang Youning into the arms of a strange man that night.
Only after Shen Tanhua broke off the engagement did she have a chance.
It's just that Lin Rushuang didn't know that the man was General Xie. If she had known, she would probably regret it.

As soon as she returned to the house, Chuntao took out her money bag, looking excited.
"Girl, that rose was bought by Nan Qianjin for twenty taels of silver. Rich people are generous when they spend money."
According to the prices here, Qiangwei is a bit expensive to sell for one tael of silver, and I'm afraid it won't be easy to sell, but she didn't expect to be bought for two taels of silver. She thought she was not willing to spend one tael of silver to buy the hairpin.
She couldn't help but sigh: "The second generation of rich people is just different."
Chuntao asked: "Girl, what is the second generation of rich people?"
"They are the children of rich people."
Chuntao had a learned expression on her face: "I understand, slave."
Jiang Youning said that and lay on the couch with his arms and legs spread out.
Although she is just a little salty fish who has nothing to do to browse the short videos of So-and-so, she also knows that making money from velvet flowers alone is too time-consuming.
She suddenly thought of delicious food, which was not available in many ancient foods.
When she thought of delicious food, she became greedy again...
Chuntao sat down. Yesterday she learned how to make velvet flower hairpins made of Osmanthus fragrans. She wanted to make two of them as soon as possible. It was the golden autumn season and they should be able to sell them at a good price.
At the foot of Qiyan Mountain.
Xie Jing led twenty Xie Jiajun troops through Qishan in an orderly manner.
Halfway through, I saw a woman crying very sadly on the side of the road.
The woman was no more than 28 years old, with a delicate appearance but a very thin figure.
The old man's hair was gray and he had fainted.
After questioning, the soldier learned that the woman and the old man had come to seek refuge with distant relatives, but the old man fell ill on the way.
After learning about it, Xie Jing sent someone to give the father and daughter a ride.
The woman burst into tears of gratitude and came to kowtow in front of Xie Jing to express her gratitude.
Xie Jing sat on the horseback, glanced at the woman and then looked away, but the woman suddenly stood up and threw a hidden weapon at him.
Xie Jing reacted quickly, raised her foot and kicked the woman away. At the same time, she discovered that what the other party threw was not a hidden weapon, but medicinal powder.
The wind blew from the southwest today, and the medicinal powder blew towards her face with the wind. It was too late for Xie Jing to cover her mouth and nose.
At this time, dozens of men in black jumped down from the tree, and each of them rushed towards Xie Jing with a broadsword, carrying a strong murderous intent.
Xie Jing felt weak in her limbs. When danger came, she held her sword and tried her best to resist the fatal blow from the man in black.
The old man who was lying on the ground unconscious suddenly opened his eyes, took out a dagger from his arms and attacked Xie Jing from behind.
"General, be careful."
Xie Jiajun drew his knife and rushed towards the man in black.
After a fierce life-and-death struggle, both sides were seriously injured.
Xie Jing was also injured under the siege of the men in black.
When they arrived at a safe place, Wen Xianyu carefully checked Xie Jing and then said: "Fortunately, no muscles or bones were injured, general, don't worry."
Xue Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and then his eyes became serious, "The assassins ambush Qiyan Mountain in advance. They knew where we would pass early in the morning, and someone leaked the news in advance."
