Yao Niannian smiled and looked at Xiao Shao who was talking to the old couple, and said to Jiang Ruan: "The prince is really in love with each other. The prince is sincere in treating the princess, which makes people envious." When she said this, her eyes did not show any other meaning, as if she was just a random praise, and she was sincere.

"Ms. Yao joked that Miss Yao would marry a husband who is more than enough in the future." Jiang Ruan returned with a smile. Yao Niannian was the best Princess Jinying in the emperor's mind. He was also the rival of her. Jiang Ruan would not have much favor to her. Only her daughter's family, who was not married, must have blushed when she heard this, but Yao Niannian was calm and did not feel uncomfortable at all.

"Then I won't disturb the princess." Yao Niannian nodded slightly. Her polite actions made her look like a reserved beauty. When she passed by Jiang Ruan, she smiled and looked at Jiang Ruan, and her eyes seemed a bit meaningful.

Speculating about the smile of Yao Niannian, Jiang Ruan felt something was wrong intuition, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong. She was so stunning that she didn't even notice that Xiao Shao had returned to her side after buying the lantern. Xiao Shao looked at her and knocked on her forehead: "Why are you in a daze?"

The women watching Xiao Shao walk to Jiang Ruan's side were extremely discouraged when they saw Xiao Shao's actions. They were the man who had a sweetheart, and they immediately scattered like birds and beasts. Jiang Ruan came back to her senses, took the lantern in Xiao Shao's hand, and said, "I just saw Miss Yao."

Xiao Shao frowned, probably not having any impression of the lady Yao family in Jiang Ruan's mouth. He thought for a long time before he suddenly realized, but misunderstood Jiang Ruan's meaning, thinking that she was jealous and did such a move. So he paused and said, "Don't pay attention to outsiders." He directly shook Jiang Ruan's hand in his palm and walked forward.

The two of them walked around the streets a few times. Jiang Ruan is not a little girl now, so they can't speak when they see novelty. Xiao Shao is stable and has a sharp look. Whenever Jiang Ruan's eyes fall on any small thing, he immediately paid for it. Even though Jiang Ruan accidentally saw a piano, he almost bought it. Jiang Ruan said it was not convenient to hold it and Xiao Shao gave up. But even so, Xiao Shao still gave the silver note and told people to pack it tomorrow to deliver it to the mansion.

Ordinary passers-by don’t know their identities. Xiao Shao has always dressed in a low-key manner. Jiang Ruan is now doing a well-behaved daughter’s family. Others only think that they are newlywed young couples, just when they are mixing oil in honey. In fact, it’s not wrong, isn’t they just newlywed couples?

Jiang Ruan has never been treated like this in her past and present lives. Even though she had known that Prince Jinying's mansion was rich, she couldn't help but feel a little stiff. She thought no wonder that although Xiao Shao was cold-hearted and had a reputation as a traitor, there were so many girls who flocked to him. A handsome man who was willing to please women was probably still charming.

It was not until early and the people on the street began to disperse gradually. Butler Lin only returned home when he saw the two of them coming back. When he saw them, he ordered the kitchen to bring the prepared sweet soup. After Xiao Shao and Jiang Ruan drank some, Butler Lin and Lian Qiao said that the General's Mansion had brought things. Since Jiang Quan was imprisoned, the General's Mansion and Jiang Ruan had more exchanges. Perhaps he also understood Jiang Ruan's taboo. Although he did not contact each other frequently, he always had to be well-off during festivals. Zhao Guang and Jiang Xinzhi were in a similar mood. The grandfather and grandson had endless words about the war. Jiang Xinzhi didn't even care about the renovation of the mansion given by the emperor, and ran to the General's Mansion if he had time.

After Jiang Ruan finished washing up, she saw that Xiao Shao had already been bathed. She changed into a snow-white middle robe and leaned against the bedside to read the book. Jiang Ruan casually pulled away the book in his hand, then collapsed, and plucked her hair and said, "If you have free time these days, go to the General's Mansion with me."

Xiao Shao pursed his lips and said, "Okay." The Shangshu Mansion is now completely gone, and the General's Mansion is also Xiao Shao's father-in-law's house, so he naturally wants to go there.

Jiang Ruan suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, I want to borrow Jin Eryi to teach him how to help me find out."

Xiao Shao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who is it?"

"The aunt in the mansion." Although the brazier in the house was still burning with charcoal, she still felt a little cold in her thin middle clothes. Jiang Ruan unconsciously leaned against Xiao Shao's chest, and Quan treated him as a big warmer. She frowned and said, "You should also know what happened in my mansion. Now the Shangshu Mansion is gone, but I haven't heard of the aunt coming out to surrender to anyone. Over the years, she has been like a transparent person in the mansion, always fighting or robbing, but she is safe and sound.

I just feel it's strange..." There are not people in the world who are indifferent to fighting or fighting, but such people should not appear in the Shangshu Mansion. Zhao Mei has a simple temperament and has not survived the battle in the Shangshu Mansion. The eldest lady can be safe and sound under Xia Yan's nose. He must have special means. For some reason, Jiang Ruan always feels a little strange. Maybe someone who has died once has an inexplicable intuition about these things, and Jiang Ruan cannot ignore the eldest lady no matter what.

Xiao Shao also saw her thoughts, so he covered the quilt with her tightly, pondering: "Leave this to me."

Jiang Ruan felt obediently, leaned her head in his arms, and said, "There is also that lady of the Yao family. Today I look something wrong, and I can't say it... I always feel a little uneasy."

Xiao Shao moved slightly, a smile flashed across his eyes, and then he glanced at Jiang Ruan. Jiang Ruan noticed his gaze and said, "Don't think I'm talking nonsense. You didn't see it at that time, and even if you see it, you probably won't see anything."

"Then how do you see it?" Xiao Shao asked in a low voice.

"Intuition." Women's intuition is always inexplicable, and women always believe in their intuition without reason. Jiang Ruan herself couldn't explain what she felt about Yao Niannian, but at the moment when she passed by, the meaningful smile that Yao Niannian showed to her seemed not that simple. This time she met differently from the last time she was on the hunting ground, and something seemed to have changed quietly.

"A Ruan is so worried, but is he jealous?" Xiao Shao's cold and hard face immediately showed a hint of smile. Jiang Ruan's face became hot when she heard this and said angrily: "When did I get jealous? It's just... um..." Before he finished speaking, the rest of the words were blocked in his lips, and the room slowly became hot again, as if even the snowflakes tilted from the window were about to melt.

At the same time, the Beijing Zhongtian Prison.

The jailer fiddled with the charcoal in the brazier. Even if the fire was ignited, the cold and dampness accumulated in the prison for many years would not be so easily dispelled. Especially in this cold winter, it was even colder. It was inevitable that he would stay in such a ghost place during the end of the year, and he would be a little resentful. Several jailer gathered together, with some wine and food piled on the table, which was a bit drunk.

There seemed to be a low whimper deep in the sky prison, saying it was a whimper, but it seemed like a curse. The rustling echoes sounded a little strange here. One of the prison guards cursed a few words and said, "What a bad luck, the mourning that goes on every day."
