Chapter 160 Private... Is it private?
"Miss Jiang~"
Jiang Tunan shuddered with fear.
"Vocal! Where did this water ghost come from?"
The man in front of me looked pale, as if all his energy had been sucked out, with messy hair covering his face.
"Miss Jiang, his name is Shitou, and he is here to guard us."
Su Xiaoxiao explained to him, and Jiang Tunan remembered that this man named Shitou was in the same prison car with him that day. But he looked like a normal person after washing up in Wushi Village, so why did he become a ghost again today?
"What happened to him again?"
Su Xiaoxiao remained silent, but Guo'er beside her was talking excitedly.
"Miss Jiang, after Master Xiao sent you back to your room last night, within half an incense stick of time, you were already singing and dancing in your room."
Jiang Tunan looked a little embarrassed. At this time, Xiao Mingrui also came over. Jiang Tunan asked in a low voice,
"What did I sing?"
There seemed to be confusion in Xiao Mingrui's eyes.
"You sure you want to know?"
"I know!"
Shitou leaned against the wall and raised his hands high. Then he cleared his throat and began to sing, imitating Jiang Tunan's singing style yesterday.
"For you, I turned into a werewolf. For you, I became crazy. For you, I put on thick disguise. For you, I changed my appearance..."
Jiang Tunan instantly got goosebumps and started moving his toes.
"Shut up!"
Su Xiaoxiao had a look of indifference, even a hint of death.
"Not only that, maybe Miss Jiang, you were not satisfied singing alone, so you ran out of the room, knocked on my door and Mr. Xiao's door in turn, and pulled us into the yard, asking us to sing and dance with you."
Su Xiaoxiao just felt that her legs were still weak. Yesterday, because Miss Jiang was there, they couldn't stop at all. If anyone stopped, Jiang Tunan would hug that person's thigh and make a few thousand words of condemnation.
"Wrong, wrong, wrong! It's my fault~ But you are always too self-centered~ You are used to keeping silent during arguments~ How can you solve the confusion like this~"
Xiao Mingrui felt a headache and kicked a stone nearby.
"Stop singing!"
Jiang Tunan smiled awkwardly and said,
"Oh my goodness, it's late at night, livening up the atmosphere will help improve our relationship~"
Jiang Tunan felt more and more guilty as she spoke. Facing Xiao Mingrui's deadly gaze, she could hardly bear it.
"That's fine, but Miss Jiang, you're going to drag us into acting together later..."
Guo'er said in a weak voice, with no light in her eyes. Jiang Tunan secretly wiped the sweat off his forehead.
"What are we acting?"
Su Xiaoxiao answered almost in tears,
"Mr. Xiao plays the role of the woodcutter who goes up the mountain to chop wood, Guo'er and I are the female doctors who collect herbs, and Shitou is the hunter."
Jiang Tunan suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Then I..."
This time it was Xiao Mingrui who answered,
"We have advised you for a long time, but you refused to listen to us and insisted on playing a monkey on Mount Emei, even though I don't know where Mount Emei is."
Su Xiaoxiao burst into tears.
"Miss Jiang, if you just acted as a monkey, it would be fine, but not only did you crawl on the ground in the dark, you also rode on the woodcutter's head and screamed like a monkey. If we don't agree, you will call your ancestor, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong, and say that you will beat us to death with a stick."
Jiang Tunan: This is the worst time Kong Kong has been slandered.
"Also, you asked us to learn your monkey song together."
Jiang Tunan:?
Jiang Tunan looked puzzled, so Xiao Mingrui raised his right hand and snapped his fingers. Shitou straightened his chest and sang,
"Be one~ Be a cool one~ Eat and drink for free while dumping their big ass pockets~ Be one~ Be a sober one~ If knowing yourself is not enough, then you can only be private~"
Jiang Tunan: ...Silence is my mother tongue.
"Then what happened next?"
"Later, it was Master Xiao who knocked you out."
Jiang Tunan stumbled back a few steps and said, "Nannan, I'm going to live on Mars today~"
"Ah~ I feel dizzy~"
Jiang Tunan tried to pretend to faint, but was held by Xiao Mingrui with one hand. Jiang Tunan raised his head tremblingly, but met Xiao Mingrui's handsome face, which was full of shadows at the moment.
"Cousin, you'd better not drink alcohol from now on. If I catch you, you're done for. (Death Smile)"
Jiang Tunan: "Private...private... (choked up)"
The stone was very sad.
"I didn't understand the meaning of the song when I first listened to it, and I heard it again as a monkey on a tree. Silence is not my fault~Sadness is not the only result~"
Jiang Tunan, Xiao Mingrui, and Su Xiaoxiao: "Shut up!"
......
In Gu Lang's room, Hua Bei was presenting the results of his overnight investigation.
"Brother Gu, I sent people to investigate and found that there are many families with the surname Xiao in Kyoto, but the most prominent one is the Minister of Rites Xiao Huaimin. Although he was born in a poor family, the emperor valued him very much, and his wife is the youngest daughter of the Duke of Anguo. Not only that, several sons of the Xiao family did come to Yuxi County recently."
Hua Bei unfolded the letter in his hand and presented it to Gu Lang.
"Based on Xiao Mingrui's age, he should be the fourth child of the Xiao family."
Gulang's eyes flickered.
"Xiao Huaimin? I have heard of him."
He was only five or six years old that year, and Xue'er was not yet born. At that time, Xiao Huaimin was just a fourth-rank minor official, but the fact that he married the daughter of a duke became a hot topic among the people in Kyoto. Everyone thought that the daughter of the duke was so infatuated that she forced herself to marry Xiao Huaimin, but they did not expect that Xiao Huaimin would become the Minister of Rites in just a few years.
"Do you know what the relationship between Jiang Tunan and the Xiao family is?"
Hua Bei was a little surprised as to why Gu Lang cared about Jiang Tunan's affairs, but he still told him what he knew.
"I heard that Jiang Tunan is a girl from Madam Xiao's family. Because she has a good relationship with Madam Xiao, she is temporarily staying in the Xiao Mansion instead of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion."
Gu Lang found it a little funny.
"It's really interesting. If he is a child from Madam Xiao's family, why is his surname Jiang instead of Ji?"
"This...what does Brother Gu suspect?"
Gu Lang lowered his eyelashes to hide the expression in his eyes.
"Nothing, just asking casually."
"Oh, there's one more strange thing."
Hua Bei took out another letter from his clothes. The envelope was made of a very fine material and had a family seal on it.
"This is the letter that the group of people sent yesterday. The person who sent the letter said that you will understand after reading it, Brother Gu."
Gu Lang was a little curious when he heard Hua Bei say this, but he recognized the seal on the envelope with just a quick glance.
"It's them!"
The anger that had been dormant in Gu Lang's heart for many years was aroused again. He stared at the envelope in Hua Bei's hand fiercely, as if he wanted to stare a hole in it. Perhaps because he was too emotional, Gu Lang coughed repeatedly and finally coughed up blood.
"Brother Gu!"
"I'm fine!"
Gulang sighed deeply and looked out the window. It was just past noon and everyone in Wushizhai should be taking a nap in their rooms. The huge Wushizhai was very quiet.
It seems that Wushizhai cannot avoid the disaster after all.
