Chapter 13 Guidance

The two women couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as they saw someone wake up and turn around. It was only then that they felt like they were sweating profusely in this cool weather, and couldn't help but raise their sleeves to wipe their foreheads.

But no one expected that as soon as You Fangyin woke up, a hint of malice burst out in her eyes.

She struggled to break free from the two and shouted loudly, "Help, help..."

The women were startled and quickly reached out to cover her mouth, saying, "What are you calling?"

But it's already too late.

Although You Fangyin was weak now, these two sounds seemed to have used all her strength to shout, echoing in this spacious and quiet place.

Although the surroundings were quiet, there were also maids taking shortcuts passing by.

Upon hearing this sound, she leaned over and saw that You Fangyin was wet and lying on the ground. She had misunderstood for a moment and didn't wait for those women to intervene before shouting loudly, "It's not good, it's not good, someone has fallen into the water!"

Those women almost didn't turn their faces green with anger.

At this moment, chrysanthemums were already being appreciated in the garden outside, and it was not far from here. Soon, a large group of people arrived from Wuyangyang, including the maids from the mansion and the guests who came to the banquet today.

Yan Linben was talking to Shen Jie, but she didn't pay attention when she heard someone fall into the water.

Upon inquiry, it was said that a girl had fallen into the lotus pond. Recalling the direction of Jiang Xuening's journey, she was startled and in a state of panic, she didn't even have time to ask clearly before joining the others to take a look.

Fortunately, when he arrived, he was with everyone at the end of the lotus pond. He only saw that although Jiang Xuening was by the lotus pond, he was standing upright, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

On second thought, I realized that if I cared, it would be chaotic.

But the next moment, doubts arose again.

With that shout, You Fangyin had almost exhausted all her strength and rushed forward for no more than two steps before falling to the ground.

Due to falling into the water earlier, my clothes and skirts were all soaked, and now they are all sticking to my body.

Many people in the corridor across from the pavilion are looking towards this side, pointing and whispering.

Jiang Xuening's mind flew away for a while, but when she regained her senses, she could understand the reason for You Fangyin's actions——

If we don't escalate the situation, how will we know what else we will encounter in the future?

I don't even know if Bai Bai was secretly killed by someone.

Everyone has been saved.

It's too late to regret it anymore.

She wore a moonlight white dress today and was covered in a piece of embroidered gold. She took it off and gently draped it over You Fangyin's body. Then, with a expressionless face, she said to the crowd of onlookers across the pond, "What are you all doing around here? Haven't you seen my mother-in-law punishing my aunt? Have you ever bullied my master?"

Wow!

This statement simply stunned everyone.

The three rough women standing next to her widened their eyes and looked at Jiang Xuening like ghosts.

Even You Fangyin was stunned.

The robe, which still carried a hint of warmth, draped over her, while the young girl in front of her, after removing the loose waistband, wore only a moon-white long dress, tied up at her waist, standing tall and straight, with a hint of coldness in her eyebrows and eyes.

Brilliant like plum blossoms in the snow, as cold as the moon in a cold pond.

Even the best words used to describe a beauty in the plays she listens to cannot describe her.

In an instant, even the tip of her nose became sour, tears rolled down her eyes one after another, but she was clumsy and couldn't say a word of "thank you". She only knew how to look at it and couldn't move her gaze.

Standing across from the pool, Yan Lin immediately knew what was going on. His gaze swept over Jiang Xuening's thin and slender figure, and he also looked at the aristocratic young masters standing beside him. He felt that they were not looking at the "drowning" girl, but clearly at his own Ning Ning.

My eyebrows furrowed deeply without realizing it.

Yan Lin lowered her face and immediately said, "Yes, a girl's house fell into the water, and a group of big men are gathered here. What do they look like? Hurry up, hurry up."

Anyway, this is still a matter within the mansion of Renqingyuan Uncle's Mansion, and the identity of the girl who fell into the water is unknown, so there aren't many left.

Although everyone was somewhat dissatisfied with Yan Lin's words, they still muttered to themselves.

Only Yan Lin fell a few steps behind.

Shen Jie looked at him.

But after some thought, he took off his coat and handed it to Qingfeng who was following him. With an impatient expression, he said, "Go to her. The cooler weather is for a girl who doesn't know why. Don't let yourself get cold."

Qingfeng Xin said that even if you gave this garment to Miss Jiang Er, she might not dare to wear it. However, since you are the master of your own family and know his temperament, you dare not speak too much at such times. So she took his exquisitely embroidered outer robe and headed towards the opposite side of the lotus pond.

When they arrived, they handed the clothes out.

Tang'er turned her eyes to look at Jiang Xuening, unsure whether to answer or not.

Qingfeng let out a sigh in his heart and whispered, "If Miss Er doesn't answer, I'll take it back later. I'm afraid it won't be easy to explain…"

Jiang Xuening glanced back at him before saying to Tang'er, "Keep going."

Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Miss Xie, please feel sorry."

Tang Er put away her robe, which was full of clear water, and hung it on her arm. Qingfeng then bowed to Jiang Xuening and stepped back.

The onlookers dispersed.

Only the servants of Qingyuan Uncle's Mansion remain nearby.

Jiang Xuening looked at You Fangyin, who was soaked all over. The wind outside was strong, and people trembled when it blew. Her whole face was colorless. She looked at the three women and said, "Although it's not easy for outsiders to have a say in your uncle's mansion, if you really harm people's lives, wouldn't you be afraid of losing Yin De?"

The three old ladies had heard Jiang Xuening talking nonsense from an outsider earlier, saying, "The old lady punishes the girl, while the servant bullies the master." They were almost so angry that they were all puffed up. But in the blink of an eye, they saw someone next to Yan Xiaohou come to deliver clothes to her, and they were grateful that they didn't have the impulse to scold Jiang Xuening. Otherwise, if they offended someone who shouldn't have offended, they would turn around and walk around.

At this moment, while listening to Jiang Xuening scolding them, they all buried their heads and smiled, afraid to reply.

Jiang Xuening didn't want to interfere more in the affairs of Qingyuan Uncle's Mansion, but said, "Let's send the person back to the room first."

"Yes, yes."

The other lords in the mansion were afraid that they might not know the news here yet, so they would only come later. Jiang Xuening witnessed the actions of the three women who had just taken the initiative. They were both feeling guilty and afraid. Upon hearing this, they quickly responded and stepped forward to help You Fangyin, heading northeast across the courtyard.

Jiang Xuening hesitated for a moment before following up.

Tang'er looked confused from behind.

Jiang Xuening, however, finds it difficult to describe her thoughts at this moment: save people to the end, and send the Buddha to the west? No, she is not such a kind person. Waiting for a miracle to happen? There are already enough miracles happening to her, and rebirth is just one thing. God wouldn't treat her so well.

Perhaps it's just a simple desire to take a glance.

Take a look at where You Fangyin used to live.

Cross courtyard is the place where concubines and illegitimate women who have no status and are not favored live in the mansion. The cross courtyard of Qingyuan Uncle Mansion is not very good, it looks very simple. The places where the servants in the Jiang Mansion, who have a slight head, live are even better than this.

After entering, the decoration should be very simple.

The bed, wooden screen, tables and chairs, as well as the needle and thread basket of the kang table, still contain unfinished needle and thread work. The surroundings look clean and well organized.

There was a little girl in the room who had just left her head. She didn't know if she was serving You Fangyin. Seeing so many people coming in, she was so scared that she didn't even know how to put her hands and feet.

The woman In charge scolded and only then did she know how to serve tea, water, and handkerchief.

Jiang Xuening glanced at her but remained silent, unable to resist looking at the room.

After all, You Fangyin has never been here before.

There are no idle books, no luxurious silk, no trendy things, and no Western clocks in this room

The illusory feeling of saving someone just now gradually dissipated, sank down again, and became real, unable to tolerate any more hope and fantasy for her.

It was also the first time that she truly turned her eyes to look at You Fangyin in this world.

Due to the presence of foreign guests, she couldn't go down to change clothes, or perhaps she was afraid and panicked. She only carefully removed the clothes that Jiang Xuening had previously worn on her body, and asked the little girl to hold a thin blanket and wrap it around her, looking at her with a blue face.

Her facial features can only be considered delicate.

The willow eyebrows, apricot eyes, and cherry lips were originally beautiful, but there was a lack of air between the eyebrows and eyes, like the wooden figures carved by inexperienced craftsmen on the street, dull and rigid.

A tear mole under the corner of the left eye.

This is a common saying among elderly people about the blessings and hardships of life.

She tried to find a faint shadow of another You Fangyin on this face, but upon closer inspection, she realized that it was gone, really gone. There is no more You Fangyin from the previous life

You Fangyin had never seen such a look before.

This benefactor who saved her seemed to want to see another person from her.

There is a hint of sadness that is like crying, like accepting reality but breaking dreams.

She couldn't help but clench her fingers, feeling like she should say something, but opened her mouth and couldn't say a word.

Jiang Xuening stood for a while, blinked, and said to the bewildered women, "You guys go out."

The women looked at each other in confusion.

They were puzzled in their hearts, but dared not refute; Along with the little girl, although she couldn't figure out the situation, she didn't dare to stay any longer and retreated together.

There are only Jiang Xuening and You Fangyin left in the room.

You Fangyin finally spoke hesitantly, "Thank you, thank you for saving your life…"

Jiang Xuening, on the other hand, stared at her and raised her finger, gently stroking the unfamiliar face that she was supposed to be very familiar with. She brushed a strand of hair off her cheek and dreamily said, "I should be grateful. In order to save you, I gave up the greatest reliance in this life…"

You Fangyin was stunned.

Jiang Xuening just chuckled self deprecatingly and said to her, "I see you don't want to die. You've been to the Yan Wang Palace for a while now, so what's there to be afraid of in the future? If you keep going like this, at least you'll live your own life and not waste your skin."

Clearly this is her body, she shouldn't say such biased words.

But how can we suppress the disappointment in our hearts?

She just considers herself an ordinary person.

You Fangyin probably couldn't understand what she was saying, only knowing to look at her with those big eyes open.

===Kunning Section 17===

Jiang Xuening looked more and more disappointed.

The difference is too far.

She originally wanted to say a lot, but suddenly couldn't speak. There were countless things hidden in my heart that I didn't know how to confide in, so I suddenly fell back into my stomach.

"Tang'er." Jiang Xuening thought for a moment and called out to Tang'er to come in. "Did you bring any money? Give it to me."

Tang'er took out a purse and stuffed it with some silver bills, three hundred taels, five ten taels, and some silver ingots.

This is for the girl to buy things on her way back to the mansion.

She glanced at Jiang Xuening, hesitated for a moment, and finally handed it out.

Jiang Xuening opened it and took a glance, then placed it on the table and said, "We are also destined. Take this money and come back to prepare a good coffin for your aunt, so that she can be buried alive. As for the rest, keep it for yourself, so that we can live a better life."

You Fangyin didn't know how she knew about her aunt's situation, and her eyes turned red in an instant. Suddenly, she burst into tears.

Just this crying is silent.

Like a fish on the shore, with its mouth wide open and not making much sound, it becomes more and more heart wrenching.

She dare not cry after all.

It's just that an aunt died in the mansion, or was she hanged herself

Jiang Xuening felt suppressed in this moment and had nothing to say to this particular You Fangyin. After sitting for a while, she got up and walked out.

Just walked to the door and stopped again.

She leaned on the door frame with one hand and glanced back at her, saying faintly, "In the morning of three days, there will be a merchant named Xu Wenyi selling a batch of raw silk outside the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Guild Hall in Dongshi. If you have extra money and are not willing to accept the current situation, you can negotiate a price and buy some. In half a month, you can get three times the price. If you save some, it should be enough for you to use for a period of time."

Back then, You Fangyin's first bucket of gold was not easy to come by, as even the money was borrowed from outside. She just dared to venture, dare to think, dare to do, and suddenly made a profit. This You Fangyin is like a knot in elm, with a cowardly temperament, shallow knowledge, and a brain that doesn't seem to be able to turn around. In the previous life, You Fangyin's methods and vision were so difficult for her to learn. How could this You Fangyin be just in case?

Jiang Xuening's guidance is just a way to live up to it.

She doesn't think she can do anything.

After speaking, he frowned and turned around, calling for Tang'er to cross the courtyard and leave.

Only You Fangyin was left in the room, looking at her receding figure with blurred tears in her eyes. Then she lowered her head and looked at the purse in her palm, slowly gripping it tightly.
