ARDA - Chapter 18 - Go Scare That Woman

 Jiang Mengyue returned to the yard and saw Jiang Ning sitting alone from a distance, out of tune with the ladies around her. She lowered her head and fiddled with the peach blossoms in her hands, looking lonely and desolate.

Jiang Mengyue sneered, feeling happy in her heart.

Those who come from the countryside are those who come from the countryside, and it is impossible for them to get together with the ladies of the aristocratic families in the capital.

Jiang Ning lowered her head and played with the peach blossoms she had just picked from the back mountain. She gently touched the petals with her hands and a faint sneer on her lips.

"Why is my sister sitting here alone? Why don't you go over and talk to Miss Lin and the others?" Jiang Mengyue came over and asked, her face full of concern.

Jiang Ning raised her face and said, "I'm not familiar with them. I only disturbed their conversations."

"How could it be possible... We will become familiar with each other soon." Jiang Mengyue pretended to be a good sister and held Jiang Ning's hand. "Come, I will take you there. Don't be afraid. They are all wonderful people."

Jiang Ning sat where she was, not moving.

She smiled slightly and shook Jiang Mengyue's hand, "Sister, I give you this peach blossom. I just picked it in the back mountain and picked the most beautiful one."

Jiang Mengyue glanced at the peach blossom in Jiang Ning's hand, a look of disgust flashed in her eyes, but on the surface, she had to pretend, she reached out to take the peach blossom, and said with a smile, "It's so beautiful, thank you very much."

"This is my wish. Sister, you must hold it carefully and don't lose it. When you return to the Marquis' Mansion, put it in the vase." Jiang Ning said seriously.

Jiang Mengyue nodded in agreement, "I will."

"Hm."

Jiang Ning smiled slightly, her smile was sweet, but the depth of her smile was slightly strange.

At this time, Miss Lin said, "Since everyone is here, why don't we go to the back mountain to enjoy the flowers!"

"Yeah."

Everyone agreed and set off for the back mountain.

Jiang Mengyue's eyes flashed coldly, staring at Jiang Ning walking in front of her, with a smile on her lips.

There will be a good show in a while.

At this moment, Jin Jingxiu had been waiting in the peach garden for a long time. He knelt down and touched the black dog's head, "Xiao Hei, you have to be more confident. You can't make another mistake this time."

"You go scare that woman, jump on her and pretend to bite her, just scare her!"

The black dog barked.

Jin Jingxiu sighed and frowned. He couldn't understand. He just put Xiao Hei on the road behind the mountain. Why didn't he scare the woman?

Could it be that she didn't take that path?

Impossible, there is only one road leading to the Back Mountain Peach Garden.

He really couldn't figure it out, so he patted the black dog on the head and said, "We can't make any mistakes this time."

Not far away, women were laughing and chattering.

Jin Jingxiu knew that the people were coming, so he hid with the black dog.

......

"Sister, let's go over there quickly." Jiang Ning held Jiang Mengyue's arm and looked at the mountains of peach blossoms, her eyes shining with interest.

Jiang Mengyue had no intention of admiring the peach blossoms. All she could think about was whether that idiot Jin Jingxiu was ready. This time he had to let the dog out to scare Jiang Ning.

She glanced around and finally saw a figure at the agreed place.

It was Jin Jingxiu who hid with the black dog.

When they pass by, he will let the black dog bite Jiang Ning.

Seeing that everything was ready, Jiang Mengyue curled her lips and felt relieved.

She pushed Jiang Ning away, showing a guilty look, and said, "Sister, you go over first, I'll talk to Miss Lin and the others for a while."

She couldn't be close to Jiang Ning, she had to stay away, otherwise what if the black dog pounced on her and accidentally hurt her.

Jiang Ning nodded, "Then I'll go there first."

"Okay." Jiang Mengyue smiled and nodded.

After Jiang Ning walked over, Jiang Mengyue stopped smiling and looked in Jin Jingxiu's direction with a wink. 

The black dog barked and ran over quickly.

Suddenly a dark figure appeared, the black dog bared its teeth and made a threatening sound at people.

"Ah!" The women were frightened, and their faces turned pale.

"There is a big black dog..."

The black dog ran straight in the direction of Jiang Ning. He ran extremely fast and rushed over in a matter of breaths, leaving no one with time to react.

Jiang Ning stood there, seemingly stunned and did not move.

When Jiang Mengyue saw this scene, she smiled coldly.

Ho ho, Jiang Ning, let’s see how you hide this time! 

The black dog rushed straight in front of Jiang Ning and was about to pounce on her. Suddenly his eyes turned red and he started barking. The next moment, he suddenly turned around and ran behind Jiang Ning.

Jiang Mengyue's smile was still frozen at the corner of her mouth when she saw the black dog rushing towards her.

    1. Hi Aling! Yes, you may. There is no exclusivity on any of the novels I translate, I don't own any of the novels, I am just an avid reader of Chinese novels. I am just translating for fun and to share. My translations are not perfect though since I only use MTL sites to translate.
