Chapter 206 Eyeliner [Gift to Book Friends]

[I am still grateful to my book friends for their support! I will continue with the previous chapter tomorrow. The third update promises will be fulfilled, and I will go to my dearest book friends~]

She made up the words perfectly. Ning Nanyou believed that Li had wanted to tell him these things for a long time, but he had never found an opportunity.

Today, he apologized to her specially, talked about childhood events, and mentioned that Jiang Chengjia was investigating him behind his back... This gave Li Xiangjun an illusion that she probably thought he hated Jiang's little actions behind her back, and felt that this moment was a good opportunity to mention these things.

If he and Jiang Chengjia did not resolve the misunderstanding and had no mutual understanding, and had not learned that she was the benefactor who saved him as a child... I'm afraid that he would be really confused by Li and would have an attack on Jiang Chengjia.

He sneered, and his eyes surrendered to the golden screen with carved geese in front of Li's bedroom couch, patted her shoulder and comforted her: "Don't worry, I won't give her a chance..."

Ji Xianzhi outside heard these words and frowned deeply.

Nanyang Pavilion has been under his surveillance these days, and rarely interacts with the maids of the North Court. How did he know so many things about the North Court?

He lowered his eyes and pondered for a while, as if he had thought of something, quietly left the wooden corridor and headed towards the back room of Nanyang Pavilion.

Since the last time Ning Nan was worried that Mr. Jiang and Gu An and his group had returned, most of the maids in the North Court had been removed by him. However, Nanyang Pavilion was still able to get every move of the North Court, which shows that... Li's bribe and bribe was still staying in the North Court.

However, this person is extremely cautious in his actions and has not yet revealed any trace of his feet.

But Ji Xianzhi remembered something just now. Half an hour ago, he accompanied Ning Nanyou to Nanyang Pavilion. After entering the courtyard, he saw Sihui, the beautiful and lovely maid beside Li, hiding in the corridor and looking around. Seeing them entering the courtyard gate, he fled from the small stone road in a panic and ran towards the guest room connected to the corridor.

Ji Xianzhi originally thought that the little maid was happy when she saw the king and wanted to run to tell her master immediately, so she ran away in panic.

When Junhou walked around the corridor to Li's room, she was dressing in front of the mirror and fiddling with the hairpin on the dressing table. There was nothing wrong with it. When he retreated from the guest room, he accidentally scanned the jewelry box in Li Xiangjun's bedroom locker that was dragged out and opened. The jewelry inside was placed in a mess, looking like Li had searched for something inside.

He did not immediately think of Sihui's escape in panic, but he just felt a little strange. Li Xiangjun was a person who loved neatness in the past. Even if the decorations in the house were a little crooked, she would scold the servants and maids who sorted out their houses. She would definitely not be able to withstand the chaotic arrangement of the jewelry box.

But when he heard Li Xiangjun and Ning Nanyou mention the affairs of the North Court Girl and Qianshan, he suddenly think of these two strange things together and introduced a possibility.

When he and Junhou entered the courtyard, Sihui was indeed anxious to tell Li Xiangjun about this, but she was not happy for her master, but ran away because of panic... Li Xiangjun might have met someone at that time, so she asked Sihui to look in front of the corridor. It is not certain that the person she met with was the eyeliner she bought in the North Courtyard. When the two of them entered the courtyard and headed towards the back room, Li was most likely holding her jewelry box and asked the eyeliner to choose jewelry for bribes, but Sihui suddenly broke into the house and said that Junhou had come, so she would have packed the jewelry box so quickly and put it there casually.

Sihui, the girl, ran away very quickly and even ran away with her eyeliner. But now she can't leave Nanyang Pavilion.

Li Xiangjun's Nanyang Pavilion was originally connected with Cao's yard, and was right next to her house. Later, because Ning Nanyou always came to the guest room to find Li's tea and gossip or write in a picture scroll, he would inevitably go to Mrs. Cao's place to worship first before he could go. He was afraid that Mrs. Cao would scold him and did not restrain himself and was unpretentious, so he regarded Li as a guest, and the princess of Nanyang County. The reason why he should not be neglected was that there was a wall between Mrs. Cao and Li's wing room, and a new house was built to live with three maids around her. The south courtyard was completely divided into two yards, which avoided some trouble.

The commander's mansion is already dilapidated, and the smaller courtyard in the official residence is also a stimulus of the government. Nanyang Pavilion is divided into the south courtyard and covers a very small area. The main bedroom is in the middle, and the small courtyard is connected to the wooden corridor in front, paved with a small blue brick path. There are flowers and plants in the courtyard, but the path to the outside of the courtyard is extremely clear, with only one road and no place to cover. Even the path to the wing room is only two stone roads and long corridors, both within his field of view. However, there are three or four roads to the veranda master bedroom leading to the back room where the servants and maids live. Because the craftsmen who built the house come and go on the rainy day, several stone brick roads were specially paved to the back room.

Since the eyeliner wanted to hide, he naturally could not run into him and Junhou head-on and leave from the front of the main courtyard. During the half hour he had been with Junhou, he had never seen anyone passing by the corridor or under the stone road. In this way, if Li Xiangjun was really meeting someone at that time, the person would have hurriedly left the place where he could hide was only in the maid's room in the backyard.

Even if he was frightened, he could only wait for him and Junhou to leave Nanyang Pavilion before he could leave here quietly.

When Ji Xianzhi thought of this, he naturally had to go first and then check it quietly.

In order to avoid alerting the snake, he walked the stone brick road on the side. He walked through the flowers and plants and saw that the maids and girls' houses were closed with the door, quietly without any sound.

Ji Xianzhi hid behind the stone wall and looked at the window. The window was half-closed. He vaguely saw two or three figures sitting opposite each other, but he couldn't see their faces clearly. I don't know who it was. Today, Li's three personal servants and maids had never left the mansion and were all staying in the Nanyang Pavilion, so he couldn't be sure whether one of the people in the house was the eyeliner of the North Courtyard.

He frowned and quietly returned.

When I returned to the bedroom corridor, I pretended to be nothing and continued to wait for the Lord.

After a moment, Ning Nanyou came out of it and called him to leave Nanyang Pavilion. Even though Li Xiangjun was reluctant to leave, he had no reason to stop him.

Ji Xianzhi kept his mind on the North Court's eyeliner, and followed Ning Nanyou with his head down, frowned, and didn't even listen to his words.

It was not until he left Nanyang Pavilion that Ning Nanyou suddenly stopped in front of the Nanyuan Courtyard, looked at him with a puzzled look on his face, leaned back and leaned into his ear and asked in a low voice: "Why are Uncle Ji absent-minded? What's wrong with Nanyang Pavilion?"

Ji Xianzhi was stunned for a moment, and immediately pulled Ning Nanyou to hide at the corner of the north wall of Nanyang Pavilion. He hid behind the strongest and oldest tree in the house, and explained the matter from beginning to end.

Ning Nanyou's expression went down and said coldly: "I think why did she make trouble after returning from the refugee camp? It's a lot quieter. If Uncle Ji's guess is good, she will start to stir up trouble in my house again... In such a small house, there are only more than 30 masters and servants, but they can make her mess. She really respects me and abuses her in such a scheming."

Ji Xianzhi paused for a moment and said hesitantly: "In seven or eight days, Princess Nanyang will leave Linhe... The lord should also tell her about her plan, so that she can go back soon."

The young man in black clothes stood behind the tree, his gloomy expression seemed a little scary. He stared at the direction of the Nanyang Pavilion gate and said Senran: "When Lu Xun comes to a safe letter, I will immediately mention it to her."

The two of them waited behind the willow tree for a long time, but they didn't see anyone coming out of Nanyang Pavilion.

Ji Xianzhi thought maybe he was thinking too much. He looked at Ning Nanyou's red bloodshot eyes, and couldn't bear to say to him: "Look, it seems that the old slave's guess is wrong... The lord hasn't had a good rest these days, so why not go back to the study quickly?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Nanyou suddenly made a gesture of silence to him.

Ji Xianzhi immediately closed his mouth and turned to look outside Nanyang Pavilion. He saw a little maid running out of the yard with a face covered. He seemed to have something in his arms, and hugged him tightly. He looked around in front of the yard for a while, and hurriedly detoured from the small path into the inner courtyard backyard. He ran very quickly, and finally turned a corner at the end of the dirt road leading to the garden and disappeared.

"Is he smart, and he still knows how to cover his face?" Ning Nanyou snorted coldly.

Ji Xianzhi said with a frown locked and said, "What else does this maid seem to be holding in her hand?"

"No matter whether she was the reward given to her by Li Xiangjun or anything else beside her. Uncle Ji, the old people in our house should be cleaned up... I have been taking them for more than ten years. If I could betray the Marquis' Mansion just because of some small flies, then I don't have to stay there in the future. After I took out this maid, I will be able to search the trusted Jingshu to check the wings and beds of the whole mansion and register them. If I find that there are different accounts from those in the mansion, I will drive them out and never hire them."

Ning Nanyou instructed coldly, and the handsome face was filled with gloom.

Before Ji Xianzhi could respond, he saw the young man walking sideways towards the brick road with some coldness.

He took a deep breath, squinted his eyes and looked at Nanyang Pavilion. He did not continue to follow Ning Nanyou, but headed towards the west courtyard.

Ning Nanyou walked through the garden and was heading towards the academy when he vaguely heard a cheerful laughter from the north courtyard, as if it was Jiang Chengjia's. He stopped immediately and looked at the gravel road leading to the north courtyard with some curiosity. He hesitated for a while, and then heard a faint laugh from the other end. He couldn't help but want to see her in his heart, and walked towards the north courtyard.

As soon as I reached the screen wall, I heard Qianshan’s laughter and voice coming from it: “Girl! You don’t count, how can you hide this thing in such a conspicuous place?”

"What's wrong? It's not good for me to hide it conspicuously? I'm making it clear to you! Qianshan, why don't you say you're stupid?" Jiang Chengjia smiled and said.
