ARDA - Chapter 36 - The Encounter is very Strange

 Seeing Jiang Mengyue's reaction, she became even more sure that there was something strange about this trip.

Otherwise, why hasn't Chun Lan come after her after so long?

It was just a matter of putting down the baggage on the carriage. After so long, she should be here by now.

"But……"

Jiang Ning lowered her head and kneaded the handkerchief, "I'm a little thirsty and can't walk."

Jiang Mengyue frowned, a look of impatience flashed on her face.

"How about sister go over there first? I'll go to the pavilion over there to rest for a while. When Chun Lan comes over with water and cakes, I'll go to the mountain to find sister." Jiang Ning pointed to the pavilion not far away.

Jiang Mengyue looked in the direction and saw the lonely and empty pavilion. She didn't know what she thought of and raised the corners of her lips with a smile.

"Well, since that's the case, I won't force my sister."

Jiang Ning walked to the pavilion, wiped the stone bench, and sat down.

She didn't know what Jiang Mengyue had in mind. She only knew that if she didn't go up the mountain, she wouldn't sprain her foot, and naturally, she wouldn't meet Xu Yuanqing again.

I don’t know how long it took, but Chun Lan still didn’t come.

Jiang Ning couldn't help but frown. Could there be an accident?

In the pavilion, the girl's delicate and beautiful face was slightly frowning, and she was looking into the distance, her eyes like a clear water.

Xu Yuanqing looked at her infatuatedly. He didn't expect that the young lady that was brought back from the Village was so beautiful. Although she was not as noble as the second young lady, she was still a beautiful woman. He would not suffer any disadvantages if she married her back.

As long as you marry her, you will enjoy endless glory and wealth for a lifetime.

After seeing the lavish life in the capital, he no longer wants to go back to the remote countryside.

He originally didn't dare to think that the daughter of the Marquis Mansion could be what he had imagined, but at this moment, the maid of the Marquis Mansion came up and said that her young lady admired her talent.

He was also reminded secretly that he was admitted as a scholar at a young age and had a bright future. He was highly valued by the Marquis. As long as he could catch the eye of the lady, it was not impossible to marry her.

His confidence suddenly swelled.

Then he heard that Miss Jiang Ning from the Marquis Mansion was brought back from the Village. She grew up in the countryside and had never seen the world.

The pampered second young lady of the Marquis Mansion is someone he cannot reach, how can he still not reach this young lady brought back from Village?

Xu Yuanqing's ego was highly inflated, and he felt that he was worthy of Jiang Ning, and marrying him was her blessing. 

By then she will be the first wife, what else can she be dissatisfied with!

Thinking of what will happen next, Xu Yuanqing straightened his back, raised the corners of his mouth, and smiled.

He walked slowly towards the pavilion.

Jiang Ning felt vaguely uneasy in her heart and looked into the distance, worried about Chun Lan.

At this moment, she caught a glimpse of a figure from the corner of her eye.

The person came closer and closer, and his figure gradually became clearer.

After seeing the person clearly, Jiang Ning's eyes turned cold and she couldn't help feeling disgusted.

It's Xu Yuanqing.

Why is Xu Yuanqing here? 

Xu Yuanqing came straight over, bowed, and said politely, "This lady, I'm being rude, I shouldn't have disturbed your rest... I'm just feeling a little unwell, can I rest here for a while?"

Jiang Ning's eyes fell on him.

Feeling unwell?

Seeing his appearance, there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead and he was breathing heavily, probably because he was walking in a hurry. His shoes were still stained with mud, indicating that he was not walking on a bluestone road.

You were walking in such a hurry as if you were rushing to reincarnate, and you said you were feeling unwell?

It was no coincidence that he appeared here as if he had come here on purpose.

Now that she thinks about it, the encounter in her previous life was also very strange.
