After Jiang Ning heard this, she raised her eyes.
Chun Lan frowned and said, "He didn't come to visit but sneaked to the back door, and then a maid came out and gave him money. After he took the money, he went to the gambling house."
One can really know people and their faces but not their hearts.
Chun Lan couldn't believe it. On the surface, Xu Yuanqing was a gentleman, but secretly he went to the pub to drink all day long and went to the gambling house when he had money. He was really a loser.
Such a person really fails the master's appreciation!
Jiang Ning's face was calm. She had known Xu Yuanqing's true face for a long time and was not surprised. "Who is that maid?"
"I don't know..."
Yu Er didn't know anyone in the Marquis Mansion. He only saw a young and pretty maid coming out and giving Xu Yuanqing money.
Jiang Ning was thoughtful, Xu Yuanqing did not come to visit but sneaked to the back door, so the maid must not have been sent there by the Marquis and her mother.
Putting it this way...
There is only one person who can do such a thing.
Jiang Mengyue......
Jiang Ning's eyes turned cold, remembering what Jiang Mengyue said in her previous life. She said that it was not in vain that she had spent all her efforts to promote this marriage. In this way, Jiang Mengyue had already set her sights on Xu Yuanqing, a scumbag, and tried to find a way to match her.
"Heh." Jiang Ning just wanted to sneer.
She never did anything to Jiang Mengyue, nor did she fight her for anything.
But Jiang Mengyue couldn't tolerate sand in her eyes and had a vicious mind. She tried her best to get rid of her. She was really bad to the core.
This time, it won't be what she wants.
......
A few days later, spring was warm and the flowers were blooming, and the ladies met for an outing.
Jiang Ning was also invited.
Jiang Ning originally didn't want to go, but Jin Weilan kindly invited her to take her to see Qingcheng Mountain, so she had no choice but to accept.
Jiang Ning sat in the carriage and opened the curtain. The Qingcheng Mountain not far away was covered in mist. The fairy mist was shrouded and the scenery was elegant.
After driving for a long time, the carriage stopped.
Jiang Mengyue walked over with a gentle smile, "Sister, let's go together."
Jiang Mengyue has not been out since she was bitten by a dog in Jin Family Villa. Today is the first time she has traveled far away. After such a long time, people have probably forgotten about that incident.
Only then did she dare to go out and meet people.
Jiang Ning didn't want to go with Jiang Mengyue, so she was just about to find an excuse to decline.
At this time, a servant of the Jin family came over and said that her young lady had caught a cold and could not keep the appointment.
Jiang Mengyue held Jiang Ning's hand, "That's a pity, but sister, don't worry, I will accompany you to visit Qingcheng Mountain."
She can't refuse politely now.
Jiang Mengyue was unusually enthusiastic, pretending to be a good sister, and held her hand.
Jiang Ning endured the discomfort in her heart and walked over.
Logically speaking, there was no need for Jiang Mengyue to pretend when no outsiders were around, but she really acted like a good sister, holding hands and introducing her carefully.
"Come on, let's go to the mountains. You can see most of the capital from there. The scenery is very magnificent."
Jiang Ning frowned.
On the mountain?
She lowered her head and looked down. Because the bluestone road was slippery in the fog, it was easy to fall. She recalled that she accidentally sprained her ankle when she went out for an outing in her previous life.
The pain in her ankle was excruciating, and there was no maid around her.
When she felt helpless, Xu Yuanqing appeared and helped her down the mountain.
Xu Yuanqing was elegant in conversation and very attentive. She had never been so close to a man before, and she couldn't help but feel her heart flutter.
Thinking about it now, she was really blind.
Jiang Ning looked at the slippery bluestone road with a heavy gaze, and a mocking smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Jiang Mengyue noticed Jiang Ning stopping, turned around, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Ning stopped and did not move forward. She did not want to slip and hurt her ankle again this time.
"It's nothing, Chun Lan and the others haven't come yet, let's just wait here."
"How can this be done!" Jiang Mengyue retorted subconsciously, her tone a little impatient, as if she had some purpose in taking Jiang Ning up the mountain.
