Chapter 188 Wait until Dragon Boat Festival to verify
"No, no, everything I said is true." Han Nian'an shook his head hurriedly, "I, I, I dreamed about it!"
When these words were spoken, Qin and Zhou Yihong were both stunned, and then both of their faces turned ugly.
"Han Nian'an, you are looking at us as if we are fools!" Zhou Yihong said with a dark face.
Qin's face also had a gloomy expression. Fortunately, when she looked at Han Nian'an just now, she felt that she did not seem to be lying, but she did not expect that she would come up with such a ridiculous reason.
"Drag it!"
"No, I really didn't lie, I told the truth!" Han Nian'an explained hurriedly, "Something will really happen to the Chen family, and it will happen soon. Please believe me this time."
Qin and Zhou Yihong didn't say anything, just watched coldly.
Han Nian'an thought quickly, and then remembered something else, "Oh, right, a ship capsize! An official ship carrying raw silk will capsize soon, probably in the next few days."
The great fear stimulated Han Nian'an's potential. She remembered that at this time in her previous life, she had heard Jiang Zhitong mention it at the dinner table, saying that an official ship transporting goods capsized and a whole ship of raw silk fell into the water.
After trying hard to recall, Han Nian'an finally remembered the day that Jiang Zhitong had mentioned.
"Dragon Boat Festival, yes, it's Dragon Boat Festival! On Dragon Boat Festival, there will be government ships that capsize. If you don't believe me, you can wait. There's not much time left before Dragon Boat Festival anyway. If what I say is true, you can let me go."
Han Nian'an's firm words once again worked.
Qin narrowed her eyes slightly.
There is not much time left until the Dragon Boat Festival. Even if Han Nian'an wants to delay time, she is in the Marquis' Mansion and it is estimated that she will not be able to cause any trouble during this period of time.
But if what Han Nian'an said was true, no matter how she got the news, if she continued to contact the Chen family, there might really be trouble.
Raising her hand, Qin once again stopped the maids.
"Han Nian'an, you should know what will happen if you lie to me."
"I know what I said is true. It can be verified as soon as the Dragon Boat Festival comes!" Han Nian'an looked at Qin nervously.
The latter was silent for a while, and finally spoke: "Lock her in the woodshed first and keep a close eye on her. If she dares to escape again..."
Qin paused for a moment and sneered, "Then break her legs and feed her the mute potion."
Han Nian'an shuddered again, but at least he felt relieved.
She now remembered everything about the capsizing of the government ship on the Dragon Boat Festival.
At that time, she was still laughing at Jiang Zhitong in her heart. He had fallen to the point of bankruptcy and could only do some small business, but he was still so concerned about those news. What's the use of that?
But I didn't expect that this news would save me now.
Han Nian'an was sent back to the woodshed.
"Mother, do you really believe in Han Nian'an?" Zhou Yihong looked at Qin in confusion. "This is really too absurd. Do you really think Han Nian'an can predict the future in dreams?"
Qin's eyes were heavy. "Sometimes, things in this world cannot be explained everywhere. Han Nian'an doesn't seem to be lying, so it's okay to wait until the Dragon Boat Festival. Since your father passed away, our Changning Marquis Mansion seems to be rich, but after all, you haven't inherited the title yet. We must be careful about the affairs of the court."
If something really happens in the General's Mansion, you must not get involved.
"Mother, what about Chen Xing? Are we just going to stop communicating with him?"
"Whether Han Nian'an's words are true or not is still unknown, but we can't just stop like that. Let's reduce overt contact for the time being and don't give people anything to talk about."
Qin paused and looked at Zhou Yihong.
"You might as well pretend to be sick these few days and stay out of the house less. Hanging out in brothels all day is not good for your reputation. If you behave like this, no noble family will be willing to marry their daughter to you in the future."
Although Qin didn't usually care about such matters, since it was brought up, she scolded Zhou Yihong a few more words.
Zhou Yihong responded obediently as usual without any objection.
But he didn't take his mother's suggestion of marrying a lady from a noble family to heart.
After all, compared to the ladies from high-ranking families, he still enjoyed those women of humble status praising him, begging him, and treating him like a savior.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the end of April.
After the matter at the farm was resolved, Jiang Suining turned his attention back to the shop in the imperial city.
Everything has been going smoothly in the shops recently, and Jiang Cheng is now in charge of the account books, so Jiang Suining has more free time.
"Miss, the master wants you to come over." Xier walked into the room.
Jiang Suining put down the book in his hand and asked, "Father is back so early today?"
"My dear young lady, the master has just returned as well, and he brought a few martial artists with him. He said he wanted to select guards for you, young lady, and asked you to go and choose in person."
Jiang Suining had heard Jiang Zhitong mention this matter before, but he didn't expect that the candidate would be found so quickly.
After leaving the room, she soon arrived at the back garden.
There were three gangsters standing in the garden.
Jiang Suining immediately noticed the man standing on the far right. It was not because of his outstanding appearance, but because the big knife in his hand was too conspicuous.
It was about three feet long, with a very thick back, and looked very heavy. The blade was shining coldly, extremely sharp, and there was a Qilin pattern engraved on the blade, and a piece of red silk was tied to the handle, which looked as hot as fire.
The man holding the knife looked ordinary with dark skin, but the wild and violent look in his expression was quite intimidating.
Seeing Jiang Suining looking at him, the man bowed and clasped his hands.
"You are the lady you want to protect!"
After saying these rough words, the man was worried that he would scare Jiang Suining, so he immediately forced a laugh.
It's just that his big white teeth, coupled with his forced smile... made his face look even darker, which was indescribably unharmonious.
"Sui Ning, this warrior is called Shi Wu. Your father has seen him wield a knife and he is very skilled," Jiang Zhitong introduced.
As he said this, he felt the speechless gaze of his wife again.
Jiang Zhitong silently avoided that sight.
He knew what the lady meant. Shi Wu looked ferocious and fierce, and didn't seem like someone who could be a bodyguard.
But there is no other way. When we were selecting at the beginning, we said that the one who has good martial arts skills will do. This hero Shi split the stone table with one sword. With such strong martial arts skills, there is no reason for him to eliminate the opponent.
But fortunately, he also said that in the end it all depends on his daughter's opinion. If she is not selected in this round, it would be reasonable for her to leave.
Jiang Suining smiled and nodded to Shi Wu, then turned his gaze to the other two people...
