There was something clearly wrong with the two people in the room.
Lin Jiangnian sat nearby, his expression normal. Xu Lan, standing nearby, blushed, her eyes clearly showing a hint of shyness. She lowered her head slightly, looking flustered and uneasy, like... a decent woman who had just been bullied and taken advantage of.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuxiang's eyes changed obviously, and she stared at Lin Jiangnian with suspicion and a bit of questioning.
This brat, didn't he just... bully Xu Lan in the room?
She met Lin Jiangnian's gaze and saw him blinking innocently at her. Seeing his expression, Jiang Yuxiang immediately glared at him.
Looking at Xu Lan again, she saw that she looked flustered, and quickly waved her hands to deny and explain: "Auntie Xiang, no, nothing..."
But she looks so guilty, how can she be okay?
...This brat, could he have really violated Xu Lan here just now?
Looking more closely at Xu Lan's flustered and helpless look, it looked more and more like her.
More importantly, Xu Lan actually spoke up for this brat?
At this point, Jiang Yuxiang's eyes changed obviously, with a bit of indignation and a bit of indescribable anger.
It's only been a short time, and this brat hasn't even let Xiao Lan go?
"Auntie, Xiaolan and I were chatting, what's wrong?"
Before Jiang Yuxiang could speak, Lin Jiangnian interrupted her spell.
Jiang Yuxiang felt a lump in his chest, took a deep breath, and gradually calmed down.
It shouldn't be!
This guy shouldn't be that brave, in broad daylight...
Looking at Xiao Lan again, she found that her clothes were intact and there was nothing wrong with her. She must have been overthinking it.
but……
There must be something wrong with these two people!
Jiang Yuxiang glanced suspiciously at the two of them before saying, "So that's how it is."
"I heard Xiaolan was here, so I came to see her..."
Jiang Yuxiang put away her emotions and looked at Xu Lan in front of her with a happy smile on her face: "Xiao Lan, we haven't seen each other for several years, right?"
Xu Lan's face flushed slightly, with a hint of shyness and joy in her eyes. She nodded and said, "I haven't seen you since Aunt Xiang went back last time..."
If you think about it, it was indeed several years ago.
"Xiao Lan, you were only that small when I left last time. In the blink of an eye, you've grown into a big girl!"
Jiang Yuxiang looked Xu Lan up and down and couldn't help but sigh.
When she first met Xu Lan, Xu Lan was only as tall as her chest. She was lively and willful, but also very cute.
When they met again, she had grown into a graceful young lady, almost as tall as her, and her appearance was even more extraordinary, youthful and lively.
"Aunt Xiang hasn't changed."
Xu Lan spoke softly. Aunt Xiang looked almost exactly the same as she did a few years ago, without any change.
"No, you guys have grown up, and I'm already old!"
"No, Aunt Xiang is still very young."
"Xiao Lan's mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter!"
A few years ago, when Jiang Yuxiang was still in the Prince Lin's Mansion, Xu Lan liked and admired Aunt Xiang very much. Now, when they met again after a few years, Xu Lan, except for being a little shy and uneasy at the beginning, quickly adapted to the situation and started calling her Aunt Xiang.
Xu Lan was an outgoing person, and was well-liked by the elders in the family. Jiang Yuxiang was the same; she also liked this sweet and lovely girl in front of her, with a good personality and no bad intentions.
As the two of them chatted, Lin Jiangnian seemed a little redundant.
So, Lin Jiangnian stood up and walked towards the door: "Aunt, you guys chat, I won't disturb you!"
The two women were reminiscing about the past, so naturally they ignored Lin Jiangnian.
After Lin Jiangnian left the room, he soon saw two furtive figures huddled together and talking about something not far away in the yard.
Lin Jiangnian approached slowly with light steps, and the voice gradually came over.
"Xiao Zhu, tell me quickly, is it really comfortable to do that thing with your prince?"
"Sister Xiaolu..."
"Hey, why are you shy? There's no one here. Just tell me quietly. I won't tell anyone."
"Um……"
"Is your prince powerful?"
"Um……"
"How powerful is it?"
Xiao Zhu's face flushed red, her head almost buried in her chest, and she whispered softly, "Sister Xiaolu..."
Xiaolu's eyes lit up, and she looked very excited: "Don't be shy, just tell me!"
He looked so excited, like a thief who was robbing people on the road.
Xiao Zhu was too embarrassed to look up. After a long pause, she said weakly, "No, it's very powerful."
"Can you describe it in detail?"
“…”
After a while, Xiaolu opened her eyes wide in disbelief: "Your Highness... all night?"
Xiao Zhu nodded, too embarrassed to speak.
Xiao Lu was shocked for a long time before muttering to herself, "Then... won't my young lady suffer in the future?"
"No, I'm my young lady's maid. If she becomes ill, I won't be able to... No, no, absolutely not..."
Xiaolu seemed to have thought of something, her face gradually flushed, and she denied it repeatedly. But in her wide eyes, there was a hint of excitement flickering.
Behind the two of them, Lin Jiangnian, who was walking lightly towards them, happened to hear their conversation.
This maid named Xiaolu beside Xu Lan, is she really good at imagining her role?
Lin Jiangnian remained silent, quietly eavesdropping on the conversation with gusto. Just as he was about to continue listening to the two maids discussing and praising him, Xiaozhu, blushing, raised her eyes and saw Lin Jiangnian.
"Ah, Your Highness?!"
Xiaolu, who was in high spirits, turned around subconsciously and saw Lin Jiangnian standing not far behind them.
His originally excited expression suddenly turned into panic. He stood up in a hurry, at a loss as to what to do.
"Shizi Palace, Your Highness?!"
Lin Jiangnian looked at the two of them with a smile: "What are you talking about? Go on, just pretend I don't exist!"
Xiaozhu's pretty face flushed red, and she dared not speak. Xiaolu beside her also blushed, her heart pounding.
Your Highness, did you hear what they were whispering about just now?
What did you hear?
"No, we didn't say anything..."
Xiaolu blushed and waved her hands in panic to explain.
"It's okay, you guys can talk whatever you want, I didn't hear it anyway."
Lin Jiangnian said with a smile.
Didn't hear?
Xiaolu blinked and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
I hope you didn't hear it.
"Okay, go ahead."
Since he had been discovered, Lin Jiangnian waved his hand, stood up and walked towards the next yard.
When he walked to Xiaolu, he paused for a moment, and scanned her body meaningfully, pausing at a certain spot, implying something: "If you want to be a maid, you still have to work hard!"
After saying that, before Xiaolu could react, Lin Jiangnian had already left.
Xiaolu stood there in a daze, his eyes blank.
Your Highness, did you hear everything?
Instantly, a feeling of shame spread throughout her body. Xiaolu quickly realized that the Prince Lin's gaze just now seemed to be staring at her...
Xiaolu looked down, was stunned, and fell silent.
"Sister Xiaolu, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Zhu came forward and asked with some concern.
Xiaolu came back to his senses, his eyes fell on Xiaozhu's chest, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's okay, yours isn't that big!"
Xiao Zhu: “?”
“…”
In the room.
After Lin Jiangnian left, Jiang Yuxiang took Xu Lan to sit aside and asked about their family's recent situation.
Xu Lan explained everything in detail.
"I got bored staying in Linjiang City, so I told my dad I wanted to come to the capital. My dad agreed and let me come to the capital to accompany grandpa for a while..."
Jiang Yuxiang seemed to be thinking of something: "Is your father okay in Linjiang City?"
"It's pretty good, but I don't see him all day long, and I don't know what he's busy with."
Xu Lan curled her lips. Everyone in her family, whether it was her grandfather, her father, or her brothers, were very busy and were often nowhere to be seen.
Jiang Yuxiang nodded slightly and said with a smile: "It's rare for us to get together in the capital, so you must come and accompany Aunt Xiang more often in the future. If you have time, come over more often!"
"OK!"
This move was exactly what Xu Lan wanted, and she nodded excitedly.
But then he thought of something, and his eyes dimmed slightly: "But I'm afraid it won't work!"
Jiang Yuxiang was puzzled: "Why?"
"My father won't let me go out casually..."
Xu Lan glanced at Aunt Xiang, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
Her father didn't forbid her to go out, he just didn't allow her to come to see Lin Jiangnian.
As for the reason...
She knows it very well.
Jiang Yuxiang was a little confused: "Your father asked you to come to the capital, so why wouldn't he let you go out?"
"Who knows?"
Xu Lan's face flushed slightly, she snorted softly, and looked away slightly, with a complicated expression.
I don’t know what he is thinking.
Jiang Yuxiang stared at the girl in front of her, was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's okay. If Aunt Xiang is free, she will come to see you. Calculating the time, it has indeed been a long time since I last visited Mr. Xu!"
"OK!"
Xu Lan's eyes lit up slightly, and then she curled her lips: "My grandfather is good in every way, but he's a bit old-fashioned. I don't even want to talk to him..."
Jiang Yuxiang chuckled: "He is your grandfather after all, so don't be disrespectful to your elders."
"No."
Xu Lan naturally did not disrespect his grandfather, but was just secretly expressing some of his dissatisfaction.
Jiang Yuxiang grabbed Xu Lan's hand, looked her over, and said with a smile, "If I remember correctly, Xiao Lan is seventeen years old this year, right?"
"Um."
Xu Lan nodded.
Jiang Yuxiang sighed, "It turns out Xiaolan is old enough to get married!"
Caught off guard by this, Xu Lan blushed slightly: "No, no...it's still very early."
"Yeah?"
Jiang Yuxiang smiled brightly: "So, does Xiaolan have a crush on someone?"
Xu Lan's face turned even redder, and she lowered her head in a panic: "Xiang, Aunt Xiang, why are you asking this?"
"Isn't this out of concern for Xiaolan? Seeing that Xiaolan is getting more and more beautiful, I'm asking her. If Xiaolan has a crush on someone, I can help you check it out!"
Jiang Yuxiang smiled and looked at Xu Lan's shy face, narrowing her eyes slightly: "Do you have a crush?"
Xu Lan lowered her head, intertwined her fingers under her sleeves, and was silent for a long time before she hummed softly.
No denial!
She was not good at lying and could not hide her thoughts.
The girl's instinctive shyness made it difficult for her to speak out loud, but in the end, she nodded as if possessed by a ghost.
Seeing Xu Lan nod, Jiang Yuxiang's smile froze slightly.
"I wonder which young man Xiao Lan likes?"
Xu Lan only felt her face flushed red, her body slightly stiff, and she lowered her head without saying a word.
Speechless.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Yuxiang sighed inwardly, with a complicated look in her eyes: "Is it that brat Jiang Nian?"
At this moment, Xu Lan felt an intense sense of shame that made her want to run away. The Aunt Xiang in front of her was not just Aunt Xiang, she was also Lin Jiangnian's nominal aunt and an elder of his.
To some extent, he can be considered her elder!
And now, this elder whom she has always respected and loved is asking this question that makes her very shy, giving her the illusion of meeting his parents.
I felt an indescribable sense of panic and didn't know what to do.
She clutched the hem of her skirt tightly with both hands, her head almost buried in her chest...if it existed at all.
The fearless heroine Xu was now like an ostrich, extremely nervous and shy.
"Xiang, Aunt Xiang..."
Seeing Xu Lan's reaction, how could Jiang Yuxiang not realize it?
This little girl, does she really like that brat?!
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuxiang looked at Xu Lan with complicated eyes, and couldn't help feeling a little surprised.
This brat is good!
It hadn't been long before he'd unknowingly taken down the kite while simultaneously winning the heart of the Xu family's eldest daughter. Meanwhile, he'd been shamelessly flirting with the maidservant named Xiaozhu beside him...
Can his body handle it?
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuxiang's face turned slightly red. She spat inwardly in annoyance, and then looked at Xu Lan, who was extremely shy and didn't dare to look up, and sighed inwardly.
She gently held Xu Lan's hand and comforted her softly: "Even if you don't say it, Aunt Xiang can see it... You like that brat, right?"
"Don't be embarrassed. You've known him for so long, you can be considered childhood sweethearts..."
Jiang Yuxiang paused and said, "This guy is not bad looking. It's normal for you to like him. Don't worry, your aunt won't stop you."
"Xiang, Aunt Xiang..."
Xu Lan still lowered her head, her voice trembling with nervousness, she was extremely shy, and her face was flushed red.
But for some reason, the anxiety in my heart seemed to suddenly relax.
Aunt Xiang, no objection?
Then, doesn't that mean...
Xu Lan's heart began to beat violently again.
"Does Jiang Nian know about this?"
Jiang Yuxiang continued to ask.
Xu Lan lowered her head and shook it with a blushing face.
She, she wouldn't tell him.
If he knew about this, Ken would definitely laugh at her...
Thinking of this, Xu Lan gritted his teeth secretly.
Jiang Yuxiang gently touched Xu Lan's hair and chuckled, "When did you start to like Jiang Nian?"
Hearing this question, Xu Lan was stunned.
when?
She herself seemed to have trouble remembering it.
"No, I don't know..."
After a while, Xu Lan finally managed to utter these few words.
Jiang Yuxiang's eyes were still gentle as she looked at Xu Lan and said softly, "Come to think of it, you and Jiang Nian have known each other for many years, right? You have been childhood sweethearts since you were young. Back then, I had a hunch that you would definitely like each other in the future."
Xu Lan's face was still red, and she stammered in a panic: "No, no..."
She, how could she and Lin Jiangnian be childhood sweethearts? It was clearly...
"By the way, Xiaolan."
Jiang Yuxiang's tone suddenly changed: "Have you noticed anything different about Jiang Nian during this period?"
"no the same?"
Xu Lan was startled, and looked up blankly, meeting Aunt Xiang's gentle gaze. "You grew up with him, so you must know him very well, right? Have you noticed any changes in him?"
"Change, change?"
Xu Lan's brain hadn't reacted yet: "What changes does Aunt Xiang mean?"
"It's about behavioral habits, and the atmosphere of life..."
Jiang Yuxiang chuckled, but her eyes remained fixed on hers. She whispered, "I haven't seen this guy for a few years. When we first met, I felt like he was a completely different person. The change was really huge... You're the one who knows him best, have you noticed this?"
Xu Lan's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Aunt Xiang, she, she noticed...
That guy is a fake?!
…
The plot of climbing the window is approaching, and the outline must be sorted out. The clues of the protagonist's life experience will also be explained clearly in this volume. The title of this volume is about the life experience. Finally, the book friends "Paper Crane Trace" and "Magic Rui Ge" and other readers' rewards, I didn't pay much attention to the background, and almost missed it.
