Chapter 0110: The Curved Path (1 / 2)

Xiang Capsicum froze in place, not daring to move, and a chill ran down his back and straight to his head.

Xiang Capsicum forced herself to calm down and opened her mouth to explain, “Miss, I just entered here by mistake and have no ill intentions.”

The woman laughed softly, “By mistake? Guess what I believe.”

“Miss, I, I am a domestic servant of the Chen Family, and I accidentally touched the mechanism when I drilled into the closet just now. You, you could have gone to the Chen Family’s second young master to inquire.”

The woman did not let go of the blade across Xiang Capsicum’s neck and said coldly, “Search her.”

A masked man dressed in black quickly leapt out of the corner of the room, his hands and feet quickly rummaging through the scented capsule, wordlessly nodding to the woman behind him, and quickly hiding in the shadows again.

Cold sweat seeped out of Xiang Capsicum’s body, it turned out that this room was filled with hidden agents, and she had not realized it at all!

The woman then withdrew her short blade and lazily said, “Turn around and look at me.”

Shampoo Capsicum stiffened and turned to look at the woman.

She was dressed in a dark green brocade robe with gold trim, embroidered with delicate and intricate magpie bird totems. On her head, she wore a high bun with a jade hairpin, and a dainty peony flower was inserted diagonally at her sideburns, making her jade-like skin even fairer and more translucent. A pair of danfeng eyes were slightly upturned, and the eyes under the willow leaf thin eyebrows were like the water of a deep fall lake, revealing an endless coldness in the ripples.

She lightly shook a Xiang Fei bamboo bone fan in her hand, gently picking up Xiang Capsicum’s chin with the fan and frowning at the long bangs on Xiang Capsicum’s face.

She said in disgust, “Seeing that you are still in good shape, why are you wearing such an ugly bun, don’t you quickly set it aside so that I can see it clearly.”

Fragrant Capsicum had no choice but to use her hand to gently flick away the bangs in front of her forehead, revealing a bright and stunning face.

The woman was slightly stunned and took another closer look, seemingly a little surprised by Xiang Capsicum’s appearance.

Afterwards, she gently put down her fan and slowly spoke, “Still trying to trick me, with looks like yours, how could you be an ordinary household servant of the Chen Family?”

“Back, back to the girl. Slave girl, slave girl is indeed the concubine of the Chen family’s young master, and was just promoted to aunt yesterday–“

Thinking about the shadow guards that came and went without a trace, Xiang Capsicum did not dare to deceive, but still told the truth.

The woman nodded and turned to sit in the room’s eunuch chair, shaking her fan one at a time without speaking.

Xiang Capsicum timidly asked, “Miss, slave, can the slave girl leave?”

The woman smiled charmingly, “Since you know the secret of the Deng Magpie Tower, do you think you can still go back? But seeing that you look good, I’ll give you two choices, one is to stay here and be the Green Luan Guard here, and the other is to leave you a whole body and send you back to the Chen family to accompany your young master.”

Fragrant Capsicum was shocked and hastily kneeled down to the woman to beg for forgiveness, but then he heard the woman leisurely open her mouth again:

“Alright, get up. Qinglian, do you really not recognize me?”

Xiang Capsicum froze and looked at the woman again, but she felt that her appearance was slightly familiar. With her heart beating like a drum, she tentatively asked, “Are you, Ruiniang?”

The woman nodded in relief and got up to help the scented capsule.

Xiang Capsicum got up in surprise and exclaimed, “It is really you! I, I came to Dengjie Mansion today, originally I wanted to ask the proprietor to look for you, but I didn’t realize that you are the owner of this Dengjie Mansion!”

Shepherd’s words were not false.

She had ventured here today for three things. The first was to have a clear explanation with Chen Zian, the second was to say goodbye to her master, and the third was to find Ruiniang’s whereabouts.

Xiang Capsicum joyfully held Ruiniang’s hand, sat down by the round table, and pulled out a string of multi-precious bracelets from her undergarment: ”Today, in order to hide people’s ears, I hid this bracelet in my belly pocket, but I didn’t expect to really use it. Ruiniang, how have you been doing these years? Why do you want to sell this bracelet?”

But unexpectedly, Ruiniang’s originally gentle eyes steeply became sharp.

She looked expressionlessly to the corner of the room, and the black-clad masked shadow guard from the party quickly stepped out of the line and fell to his knees, but for some reason trembled around him.
