Transmigrated into the prince's only daughter, and beat up the dignitaries in the capital with

Chapter 456 Confrontation

"Who dares to trespass into the Dingyuan Marquis's residence?"

A powerful female voice came from the central hall to the front gate of the mansion.

I saw a beautiful woman in her thirties walking towards me quickly with a sword in her hand.

She had her hair tied up in a bun, and the solemn dress of a mistress suppressed the heroic spirit between her eyebrows. The hair ornaments on her head were simple but each of them was very valuable. She was wearing a long skirt with dark green patterns and a luxurious outer robe embroidered with gold thread. Perhaps she was just dealing with affairs of the mansion. The wide sleeves of the outer robe were tied up, and ink marks were faintly visible on the cuffs.

The wife of Marquis Dingyuan had sharp eyes. The way she came with a sword in hand did not look like the mistress of this mansion, but more like a female general on a battlefront!

After seeing the real person, Jiang An finally understood why Wu Heting said that this lady had a hot temper.

Judging from her demeanor, she must have been in the military when she was young. Naturally, she has a hot temper in Kyoto, a city bound by etiquette and rules.

Such people always make people admire more...

"Meet Madam..."

The little girl nodded slightly as a greeting.

The wife of the Marquis looked at the girl in the lead with some confusion.

He looks unfamiliar and I guess you haven't seen him in Beijing before.

Moreover, the girl was good-looking and dressed elegantly. She was followed by many guards and did not look like the daughter of an ordinary family.

"who are you?"

"What are you doing in my mansion?"

The wife of the Marquis softened her tone and handed the sword in her hand to the maid beside her.

The little girl looked really lovely, and she loved her daughter very much, so naturally she did not show the harsh words she had just said.

Jiang An tugged at the rope in his hand and smiled brightly, but the smile did not reach his eyes, which made people look a little intimidated.

"Of course I'm here to return the favor to Dingyuanhou Mansion!"

"These guys walked into the wrong house in broad daylight with swords in hand. I'm sending them over to Madam!"

Holding a sword...

Did you go to the wrong house?

I guess only a fool would believe it!

"Go and call the young master back."

"Yes…"

The wife of the Marquis had an unpleasant look on her face. After giving instructions to her subordinates, she raised her hand to signal the guards at the door.

The guards received the order and closed the door heavily.

Once the gate was closed, the mansion became a tightly sealed urn. Huo Changming took a step forward, his aura surged, and the other guards were also on high alert...

The wife of the Marquis's mansion glanced sideways and took a closer look at the young man.

This murderous aura doesn't seem like that of a spoiled young man, but rather like that of a descendant of a military general.

"Don't panic~"

Jiang An patted her brother's shoulder to comfort him, still looking relaxed.

Just now, I walked all the way from the busy street to the Marquis' Mansion. I wonder how many people were paying attention to the situation here.

Unless this lady is stupid, she will never fight with them at this moment.

I guess closing the door is just to cover up shame.

It is not a glorious thing to have one's own guard beaten up and sent back.

Besides…

More than a dozen guards left the house with swords and knives, and she, the mistress of the house, was completely unaware of it!

"Miss, why don't you take a seat in the hall?"

The wife of the Marquis's mansion returned her gaze to Jiang An.

It seems that the youngest girl is the backbone of these people!

He is a man of courage, she likes it!

"Then can I trouble you, Madam, to lead the way?"

Jiang An knew that the lady of the marquis's mansion would not believe anything she said until she was sure that the person was sent by her son.

In that case, why waste time talking? It’s better to sit in the hall and wait.

only…

The little girl lowered her eyes, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.

I don't know how Yuanyuan and the others are doing...

When the wife of the Marquis turned around, she called the butler in the front yard, "Check the number of people and see if there is anyone else who is not at the house besides them. You have to ask Xiu Mu too!"

"Yes…"

In the hall,

Three or four maids came in and placed the warm teacups on the small table beside the visitor.

Even the several attendants waiting outside the hall were given hot tea to warm themselves up...

The little girl didn't look at the cup of tea on the table. Seeing that his sister didn't move, Huo Changming naturally wouldn't touch it.

"The young lady is very pretty. I wonder where she is from and who her parents are?"

The wife of the Marquis tried to test him.

Jiang An did not learn any special rules, he just sat upright, and his every move was graceful.

"Madam, you are too kind. I am just a country bumpkin from the mountains. I followed my brother to the capital to take the imperial examination."

"Parents..."

The little girl smiled and started telling lies.

"My mother had a difficult birth, and my father...is a hunter!"

“Puff…cough cough cough…”

Huo Changming coughed violently a few times, and even Zhengyan lowered his head silently.

If nothing else, he felt guilty...

Miss, at least draft a lie before you tell it!

Have you ever seen a hunter so rich that he has a bunch of followers and guards around him?

The lady of the Marquis's mansion also shook her head at the girl's words.

"OK…"

"Hunting is also OK."

Since you don't want to talk about it, she won't delve too much into it.

After living in Kyoto for so many years, she knew very well that the less you know, the longer you live!

"Then why are the guards of my house in your hands, young lady?"

"But there was a conflict with me at Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion?"

The Marquis's wife said it more clearly, "But did you have a conflict with my son?"

Finally I’ve asked this question!

Jiang An's eyes lit up and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"To be honest, Madam, my brothers and I just arrived in Kyoto. Except for the first day when my brother was invited by two young ladies from official families to stay in the palace, that is..."

"Is it you?!"

A hint of gossip flashed across the face of the Marquis's wife. She pointed at Huo Changming beside Jiang An and said in disbelief, "Is this the young master?"

People outside praised that young man like a fairy!

But this looks... um...

Huo Changming was unhappy, his eyes widened and he said angrily: "Madam, although it wasn't me, your look is too hurtful!"

The wife of the Marquis Mansion smiled awkwardly, "This young master has misunderstood... misunderstood!"

Jiang An: "This is my second brother, and the one those two ladies like is my third brother."

Madam Houfu: "Then you have an older brother?"

Jiang An: ...

Isn't your focus a bit strange?

Shouldn't you be asking me at this time...why didn't the third brother come? ?

The little girl was speechless for a moment, her brain working rapidly to reorganize her words.

"I...you..."

The wife of the Marquis Mansion looked expectantly, "What? What are you going to say?"

"Okay..."

Jiang An is in a bad state!

She said directly: "Madam, do you know why my second and third brothers didn't come?"

"Because they were robbed by your guards on the way, and I don't know where they are now!"

Madam Houfu: "Ah?"

"That...that..."

Before she could think of what to say, the housekeeper from the front yard entered the hall through the side door.

"Madam, there are thirteen missing guards. I asked those on leave but couldn't find any."

There are really fewer people...

"Mother!"

The second young master stepped over the crossbar and entered the hall, with a smile on his face, looking quite happy.

"Why are you in such a hurry to find your son?"

The wife of the Marquis looked at him blankly. Now... everything should be fine.

She was sure that this matter had nothing to do with her son.

But the one missing now is the young man who attracted much attention that day...

I guess someone is using the Marquis' Mansion to make a profit!

The Qi and Bai families combined are not worthy of being discovered as they were able to make things happen in the Marquis' Mansion without being discovered by herself as the mistress of the house.

As for who it was, the wife of the Marquis already knew it.

The guy in the palace is really... as vicious and cruel as ever!

"It's you!"

The second young master's shout almost scared his mother to death.

The Marquis's wife gave him a reproachful look and said, "Why are you shouting so loudly?"

"No...Mother..."

The second young master looked at his mother, then at Huo Changming's familiar face. He felt powerless and wanted to explain but didn't know where to start.

And the girl sitting next to this guy is so beautiful that you can't take your eyes off her...

This little girl looks so familiar to him!

The second young master gradually began to doubt himself, "But it was clearly a young master that day!"

Is there any time when this young master makes mistakes? ?

Jiang An winked mischievously and greeted the Second Young Master, "How are you these days, Second Young Master~"

Thinking of the devil's whispers that day, the second young master cautiously took a half step back, with a look of "Oh my god!" on his face.

"Why are you coming to my house!"

He didn't even complain to his mother, but this guy came here instead.

Jiang An found the Second Young Master's cautious and vigilant look extremely amusing!

"Huai Xu, this is a distinguished guest of our house, you must not be rude!"

The lady of the Marquis's house spoke harshly. Shen Huaixu was furious and walked quickly to his mother, ready to complain in a low voice.

"Mother…"

"As your mother, I know very well what kind of people you are doing outside..."

"I spoiled you in the past, but not today. Stay still!"

"Oh."

Shen Huaixu really stood obediently beside his mother.

This situation surprised Jiang An.

The arrogant and domineering young man outside turned out to be so obedient and well-behaved when he returned home...

Shen Huaixu: If you had seen your mother kick a big man away with one kick since you were a child, you would also be honest.

"Young lady, your brother is missing, so you must be worried. My mansion is familiar with various places in the capital. I will arrange for them to help find him in a while."

Jiang An frowned slightly, stood up and bowed to the wife of the Marquis to express his gratitude.

"Thank you ma'am..."

The lady nodded with an appreciative smile on her face and said cheerfully, "No need to thank me."

"Miss, since you have come to my house, you must have guessed the truth. If you take your people directly to the prefectural yamen, then my son will have to bear the blame!"

"So, if anyone is to thank...it should be me who thanks you."

As she spoke, she glanced at the guards standing in a row outside the hall, and a murderous look flashed in her eyes.

If it weren't for Jiang An's visit, she wouldn't have known that her iron-clad mansion had already been invaded by other people!

There is no point in keeping disobedient subordinates!

These people were the ones who came back from the border with her that year. In that case... let them return to the border and continue to make use of their value.

There was clear stupidity in Shen Huaixu's eyes. He didn't understand why he had to take the blame and whose blame he was taking.

Jiang An's eyes flashed with a tiny light, but he didn't act hypocritically and argued with the Marquis's wife anymore.

She sat down calmly and listened to the sound of personnel being mobilized outside the hall.

"Brother..." The little girl turned her head and called Huo Changming.

"Take Zhengyan to find Lord Wu and tell him to join forces with the people in Dingyuan Marquis's mansion to look for him."

"Eh!"

Huo Changming was anxious, and quickly agreed. Then, as if he had thought of something, he turned around and looked at the little girl, ready to say something...

"Don't worry about me here, just go ahead."

Jiang An smiled brightly at him, and in that smile was the tacit understanding between her and her brother.

Jiang An has people protecting him in secret. It’s just a marquis’ mansion, so there’s no need to worry.

"Row!"

Huo Changming: "Sister, wait for me to come back!"

When the lady of the Marquis's house saw this situation, if she didn't know better, she would have thought that this young man was going to the battlefield.

She glanced at her second son who was like a baby to her...

When will her silly son be able to be so responsible?

Shen Huaixu faced his mother's gaze, touched his soft face, and said innocently, "Mother, what are you looking at your son doing?"

The wife of the Marquis closed her eyes.

Sure enough, there is no harm without comparison!

After Huo Changming found Wu Heting and repeated the little girl's words, Lord Wu understood the deeper meaning of the words.

When two parties are looking for someone, they will naturally know what is going on when they meet. There is no need to ask someone to come and tell him specifically.

Moreover, the person sent by Jiang An was Huo Changming, not the guard who delivered the message.

This is enough to show how much the little girl values ​​this matter!

She was still worried about the manpower of Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, so she came to tell him to be on guard against these people...

People from the Dingyuan Marquisate and the Dali Temple were mobilized to search the capital.

Although everything was within the rules of etiquette, the noise was quite loud.

Even the Kyoto prefectural prison was visited by someone!

Relying on her title as the wife of Marquis Dingyuan, various officials had to give her some face, and when there was some trouble, no one jumped out to gossip.

Jiang An waited at Dingyuan Hou's mansion from dusk until curfew.

The people from Dingyuanhou Mansion were sitting in the main seat with him...

At the beginning, she talked to the little girl and tried to get something out of Jiang An.

After a few rounds of conversation, Jiang An's answers were flawless, so she gave up.

And I don't know how many times I sighed in my heart, how come such a smart and decisive girl is not my own!

The second son, Shen Huaixu, said that in just half a day, he had received several cold stares from his mother!

The longer the time went on, the colder Jiang An's expression became, and his stern eyes and eyebrows became more and more similar to Jiang Jichen's, which made people feel afraid.

The girl had a terrifying aura, and the Marquis's wife kept looking at her from the side. The servants waiting nearby were so frightened by her that they lowered their heads and dared not look up...

The curfew gong sounded and Jiang An stood up suddenly.

She said nothing, but strode towards the outside of Dingyuan Marquis's mansion.

"girl…"

The Marquis's wife stood up and chased after him for a few steps, "It's curfew outside now, you can't go out!"

At night, the candlelight in the front yard of the Marquis's mansion was bright, making Jiang An's eyebrows and eyes look even colder.

She was wrong...

She shouldn't have searched for someone so quietly!

She should have rushed into the palace and asked Empress Dowager Xie where she had hidden the person!

"Four four..."

Jiang An called softly.

The lady of the Marquis's mansion, who was standing a little further away, saw a dark shadow jumping down from the roof, stepping on the bricks, and landing silently behind the little girl.

It's the secret guard!

The wife of the Marquis made a gesture, asking everyone who was trying to stop them to stop.

She was standing at the entrance of the hall, with a door two or three people high behind her. She stood there and watched Jiang An walking away into the distance.

"Mother, what is she going to do?"

The wife of the Marquis sighed and said, "Go find someone."

"But haven't we already sent people to look for it?"

The wife of the Marquis did not return.

They were indeed looking for it, searching throughout Kyoto, but it was definitely not found in the Imperial City.

She was really curious about the identity of this little girl.
