Chapter 174 Tell me, your niece, what is your intention?
Fortunately, Ji Ning reacted quickly. She quickly adjusted her mood and imitated her master, saying to Shen Jing: "Well, I understand. You can go down."
"Yes, village chief." After Shen Jing finished speaking, he quickly retreated and went to find the old doctor Shen and his son.
Ji Ning came to Jiang Dichen and said to him in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Excuse me, sir, what can I do for you?"
Jiang Dichen looked Ji Ning up and down, frowned and asked her, "Are you the village chief here?"
Ji Ning smiled at Jiang Dichen and said, "That's right."
Ji Ning's answer made Jiang Dichen very dissatisfied. It was very different from what he had guessed. The person in front of him was not the one he was looking for.
Jiang Dichen looked at Jing Yun and asked, "Is what she said true?"
Jing Yun looked Ji Ning up and down, and said to his master with some guilt: "Master, I have never met the leader of the Shen Village."
After he finished speaking, he paused and continued, "However, the woman I saw that day was definitely not her."
Although he was far away that day, the woman he saw was definitely not as fair and beautiful as her.
When Jiang Dichen heard this, he stretched out his hand and pinched Ji Ning's neck without saying a word, and ordered her coldly: "Tell your village leader to come out, otherwise, I will take your life now."
Jiang Dichen's words "this king" frightened Ji Ning so much that she opened her eyes wide. She stared at Jiang Dichen intently, as if she could see the figure of the culprit who destroyed their family in him. She trembled and asked Jiang Dichen, "Are you from the Jiang family?"
Jiang Dichen looked at the trembling woman and said with disdain, "So what if it is? So what if it isn't?"
When Ji Ning heard that Jiang Dichen was from the Jiang family, she burst into tears instantly. She looked at Jiang Dichen with a mocking expression and said, "You Jiang family is so powerful that no one dares to do anything to you?"
Jiang Dichen didn't have the patience to talk nonsense with a stranger. He grabbed her neck tightly and said to her coldly, "Stop talking nonsense to me. Tell me where your village leader is."
Ji Ning gritted his teeth and admitted: "I am the village chief."
"You're looking for death!" Seeing that the other party was not telling the truth, Jiang Dichen pinched Ji Ning hard.
At this moment, Shen Qi suddenly flew over and shouted at Jiang Dichen: "Stop!"
Jiang Dichen saw Shen Qi was also here, which made him more certain that Lan Wanxi must be here. He let go of Ji Ning and bowed to Shen Qi, saying: "Junior greets Senior Shen."
Shen Qi looked at him with an unhappy face and scolded: "King Han, it's not enough that you killed my own granddaughter, do you want to harm the granddaughter of my third brother?"
He has only one daughter, and he won't be able to fool Jiang Dichen if he says she is his own granddaughter. But it would be different if he said she is his brother's granddaughter. His third brother has five daughters in total, and too many granddaughters to count, so he is not afraid of being exposed.
Shen Qi's words made Jiang Dichen even more confused. He rubbed his brows and asked Shen Qi, "If Senior Shen is really so caring, why didn't you go to see Madam Qin when you were in Beiming Capital?"
If he remembered correctly, Qin Zhen's wife was also a relative of Shen Qi.
Shen Qi snorted at him, "Who do you care who I want to see?"
Jiang Dichen said: "The junior naturally doesn't care."
"Go away, you are not welcome here." Shen Qi ordered Jiang Dichen to leave.
Jiang Dichen said, "I am tired from traveling today, so I won't go any further."
After saying this, he looked around the houses in the village and flew towards one of them regardless of Shen Qitong's disagreement.
When Ji Ning saw Jiang Dichen flying towards her master's house, her face changed. She looked at Shen Qi anxiously, hoping that he could think of a way to drive this man away quickly.
Shen Qi's face was not looking good either, but he did not continue to rage, because if he rushed too obviously, it would make people more suspicious. He whispered to Ji Ning: "You are now the leader of Shen Village, Shen Ruolan, remember?"
Ji Ning nodded vigorously and replied, "I'll remember it."
"Well, you go do what you should do, and leave this person to me." Shen Qi said.
Ji Ning replied to Shen Qi: "Yes"
After saying this, she hesitated for a moment, then walked home reluctantly.
When Ji Ning returned home, she saw Jiang Dichen standing in the yard looking around. She instinctively wanted to run away, but thinking of her master and old doctor Shen's instructions, she pretended to be calm and told Aunt He, "Aunt He, pour this young master a glass of water."
He Gu and others had just received Shen Jing's instructions, and she responded to Ji Ning respectfully: "Yes, young lady."
Ji Ning secretly took a deep breath and said to Jiang Dichen, "Please feel free to do as you please, sir. I have to get busy."
After saying this, she went into the house without looking back.
As soon as Ji Ning entered the room, she quickly packed up the clothes and diapers of the two little masters, and called out to Aunt He outside: "Aunt He, come in for a moment."
When He Gu heard Ji Ning looking for her, she hurried into the room and whispered to her, "Miss, are you looking for me?"
Ji Ning glanced outside, lowered his head and whispered to He Gu, "Send these clothes to my warehouse and tell others to take them to the river to wash them, okay?"
He Gu looked at the young masters' clothes and understood instantly. She quickly said to Ji Ning: "Miss, I understand."
Ji Ning heard that the other party understood, so she deliberately said loudly: "Aunt He, take all these dirty clothes to the river to wash them."
He Gu also quickly responded loudly: "Yes, young lady."
After she finished speaking, she picked up the wooden basin in the corner that her master used to bathe the children, put Ji Ning's packed clothes at the bottom, casually placed a few of Shen Ruolan's coats on top, and walked out carrying the clothes.
After He Gu left, Ji Ning stayed in the room and didn't dare to come out.
He Gu came out of the house carrying a wooden basin. She saw Jiang Dichen and his servants all looking at her, which made her feel a little nervous. She bowed slightly to them and hurried out with the wooden basin.
Yan Mo looked at He Gu's back and muttered, "Washing clothes on New Year's Day, what a strange village."
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, no matter whether they are from a noble family or ordinary people, they are all afraid of ruining the feng shui of the new year. On this day, apart from eating and drinking, no one does any work, from the masters to the lowest maids.
Jiang Dichen hesitated for a moment and said to Yan Mo, "Send someone to follow."
"Yes, Master." Unexpectedly, just as Yan Mo finished speaking, Uncle Shen came in from outside and asked Jiang Dichen with an unhappy look on his face, "What does your Highness mean by this?"
After he finished speaking, he walked towards Jiang Dichen and continued, "Your Highness, it's fine that you came here uninvited, but you even want to spy on my niece's village. What is your intention?"
Jiang Dichen saw that Uncle Shen had not left yet, which made him even more certain that the person he was looking for was in this mountain, but he just didn't know where she was hiding.
After all, the weak and timid girl just now did not have the courage to open up new land in the deep mountains and forests.
After hearing Uncle Shen's words, Jiang Dichen was not angry, but said to Uncle Shen seriously: "Master Shen, this is the question I should ask you. This is the border of my Beiming. Your niece is reclaiming land here and abducting a large number of my Beiming refugees. Tell me, what is your niece's intention?"
