Chapter 1639 Phoenix Girl 2
Chapter 1639 Phoenix Girl 2
Luo Qiaoyin drank some water to moisten his throat and felt a little better. He looked up at the post station and thought that they had paid money to get the biggest and best room to live in.
"Our master is the largest owner of Anhe shops. Anhe shops are spread across most of Fenglin Country..." Wen Yue saw that she asked about her master, so she told her the information that everyone knew.
Anhe shops are involved in various businesses, mainly cloth and medicinal materials.
The Jiang family is also a famous medicinal materials merchant. Jiang Yiheng inherited his father's business and took over most of the power in his father's hands to support the Anhe shop.
This time, the poisoning was done by Jiang Yiheng's good step-brother Yu Xun.
Yu Xun also knew how to use his appearance to seduce Wen Yan, his personal maid who had served him for three years, and promised that as long as Jiang Yiheng was poisoned, he would take her as his concubine!
Yu Xun coveted Jiang Yiheng's inheritance of the Jiang family's things, but he only had a shop. He was very dissatisfied and thought that as long as Jiang Yiheng died, he would be able to gain Jiang's father's trust, and the Anhe shop would be his in the future, and the Jiang family's things would also be his.
Stepbrother?
Luo Qiaoyin was puzzled. Could it be that Jiang's father had remarried? He couldn't possibly marry a widow with a boy, right?
Suddenly she thought of the folk customs of Fenglin Country. Well... Feng Xiaoqi followed in his father's footsteps and remarried his father's concubine. It didn't seem surprising that others followed suit.
"Uh... well, it's not really a secret..." Wen Yue hesitated for a moment, but decided to clarify.
When Luo Qiaoyin arrives in Fenglin Country, he will also know about this.
Wen Yue said slowly: "Since the mistress left, the master has loved the widow especially..."
As for Xun's mother, Yang Qian, the most youthful and beautiful, Jiang's father couldn't forget her after seeing her once by chance, and tried every means to marry Yang Qian.
Before Yang Qian, there were three widows who entered Jiang's father's backyard.
Yu Xun followed Yang Qian to the Jiang Mansion when he was eight years old, and it has been eight years now.
Ambition is built up step by step. The splendor and wealth of the Jiang family blinded Yu Xun's eyes, so he did this sinister thing behind the scenes.
"I just didn't expect that Yu Xun was so bold as to induce Wen Yan to do such a thing of betraying her master. This is simply unforgivable!" Wen Yue's face turned red with anger, and she stomped her feet and said angrily.
"Yes, she has been too unfaithful for three years. So what is she doing now..." Luo Qiaoyin continued her words.
"She denied it, but we caught her red-handed. The master is not a kind-hearted person..." Wen Yue dealt with Wen Yan personally. The only consequence of betraying the master is death!
It’s just a pity that the owner shouldn’t have saved her in the first place out of kindness for the dog’s sake!
Luo Qiaoyin was surprised. He didn't expect that Wen Yue, who had a baby face and spoke softly, could be so cruel.
"Just wait, the master will definitely teach that damn Yu Xun a lesson when he gets back!" Wen Yue was furious.
"What are you talking about?" Jiang Yiheng stepped in with a cold expression.
Wen Yue hurriedly stood up and saluted, "Master..."
Luo Qiaoyin looked at Jiang Yiheng. Well, he was graceful and elegant, gentle and aloof, and his every move was dignified. He was a handsome man with a bit of coolness.
Jiang Yiheng came in person to thank her for helping him block the attack and to apologize.
"It's okay. After all, you saved me." Luo Qiaoyin learned from Wen Yue that she fell from the cliff and hit their goods head-on. She was lucky not to die.
Jiang Yiheng asked, "Where are you from, young lady? We are going back to Fenglin Country this time."
"I am from Tianli Country. I fell off a cliff because I was being hunted. My sister was taken to Fenglin Country. I want to find my sister. Could you trouble Mr. Jiang to give me a ride along the way?" Luo Qiaoyin honestly stated his purpose.
If you don't tell them, they might misunderstand that you are harmful to them or have ulterior motives, or that you are a spy planted by someone else. Then your journey for the next half month will be unsafe.
Jiang Yiheng nodded: "Okay."
She was not lying. The forging method of her sword was the same as that of the Tianli Kingdom. There was a Tianli Kingdom logo on the end of each sword.
Luo Qiaoyin continued to recuperate and did not see Jiang Yiheng again. After five days of rest, he was almost recovered and was able to pick up the sword and practice martial arts.
Luoqiao Yin's gengu is of intermediate level, and his cultivation has reached the late stage of the Earth Realm. At the age of sixteen, he is capable of beating most of his peers.
It was probably her last day, as Jiang Yiheng was informed while she was practicing martial arts early in the morning.
Jiang Yiheng looked at her with admiration, showing a slightly interested expression, and picked up the sword to compete with her.
Within five moves, Luo Qiao Yin knocked him down from mid-air.
Jiang Yiheng couldn't get up for a long time. Luo Qiaoyin grabbed the back of his collar and almost suffocated him. He stood up, supported his knees and gasped for breath.
"You are very good." Jiang Yiheng wiped the sweat from his head.
His physique was average and of inferior quality. If he had not studied and practiced diligently every day, he would have reached the initial stage of the Earth Realm.
I really envy people with high talents. They are born to learn martial arts much faster than people with ordinary talents like them.
Jiang Yiheng rubbed his neck. It was the first time he encountered a woman who grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up. He did not show any strange emotion on the surface, but in his heart he felt very awkward and a little embarrassed.
"Of course, I have the talent of the middle level." Luo Qiaoyin raised his chin proudly.
Jiang Yiheng was not surprised, in fact he had guessed it.
"Miss Luo, will you have a place to go after you go to Fenglin Country?" Jiang Yiheng had an idea in his mind. Luo Qiaoyin has high fighting power. If she has no place to stay for the time being, why not hire her as his bodyguard.
Luo Qiaoyin shook his head, and Jiang Yiheng expressed his thoughts with a faint smile.
"Sure, just provide food and accommodation." Staying in the Jiang family temporarily would also make it easier for her to find someone.
Jiang Yiheng said politely, "I can also help you find someone."
"That would be great." Luo Qiaoyin thought, maybe she could follow Jiang Yiheng into the Fenglin Kingdom Palace, and then she might be able to see Luo Qiaoxi.
Along the way, Wen Yueke admired Luo Qiaoyin immensely. What she admired most was people with high fighting skills. Luo Qiaoyin was also a trustworthy person and had become her master's bodyguard. Now she didn't have to worry about her master's safety.
Jiang Yiheng also had guards in his convoy, but none of them were as strong as Luo Qiao Yingao.
After Luo Qiaoyin recovered from her injuries, she knocked them down one by one, treating them until they were obedient and followed her orders.
There's no big danger, just some bandits blocking the road and robbing people.
There was no need for Luo Qiaoyin to take action. The other guards were enough to make the bandits cry bitterly and scatter in panic.
After a long journey, we finally arrived at the nearest city of Fenglin Kingdom.
Luo Qiao Yin followed Jiang Yiheng to the Jiang Mansion. As a traveling merchant, he had properties everywhere.
Jiang Yiheng liked luxurious and low-key courtyards, but Luo Qiaoyin had no interest in appreciating them. He just wanted to wash up and lie down to rest.
After a day of rest, we continued on our journey.
After another three days of journey, we arrived at the royal capital.
Luo Qiaoyin was placed in a room on the left side of Jiang Yiheng's courtyard. Just as she sat down to catch her breath, she heard Wen Yue running towards her, "Sister Qiao, the master has arranged two maids to serve you. If you need anything, just order them around."
Lan Shu and Lan Yu both have a background in martial arts, so they walk lightly and act decisively.
The entire Red Maple Courtyard is served by maids and servants like this, but it is not the case in the other courtyards.
Jiang Yiheng was in charge of his own three acres of land, but he didn't care about the maids and servants in other courtyards.
He probably dislikes his father's widows and concubines. It would be fine if they were just content, but they are like Yang Qian and Yu Xun, mother and son, who love to stir up trouble.
