The next day.

When Jiang Yaonian opened his eyes at dawn, he found a familiar figure in the study room...

He blurted out in surprise: "Qinghe, you're back!"

The girl turned around and said softly, "Sir, are you awake?"

When Jiang Yaonian saw her clearly, the smile on his face gradually froze...

Qinghe did not come back. This girl was the flower-selling girl he met several times before.

He frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"

I heard a woman outside the door say gently: "I asked her to serve you!"

As the voice was speaking, Concubine Jia walked in from outside in luxurious attire, and said in a generous and generous manner: "Anian, I heard from my grandmother that you have been alone recently, with no appetite, and no one to take care of you. I happened to see this girl selling flowers on the street, and because she looked a bit like Qinghe, I hired her to take care of you personally, so that my grandmother wouldn't have to worry about you..."

The flower girl said very obediently: "I, the servant Jin Ling'er, am willing to serve you, sir."

Jiang Yaonian frowned and waved his hand impatiently, "You go out first! From now on, you are not allowed to come to the study without my order."

Jin Ling'er looked at Concubine Jia for help...

Concubine Jia said: "You go out first!"

"Yes." Jin Ling'er agreed and walked out gracefully...

After watching her figure disappear at the door, Concubine Jia turned to look at Jiang Yaonian and said, "Anian, it's been so long and there has been no news about Qinghe. You should probably prepare for the worst. I'm not cursing her, but it's probably bad luck... or maybe she deliberately wants to avoid you and hide somewhere. With your ability, it would be easy to find someone in the capital. Unless she is deliberately avoiding you and doesn't want you to find her..."

Jiang Yaonian remained silent, feeling a little sad.

Obviously, what Jiang Jianian said made some sense. People who knew Qinghe's identity would not dare to kidnap her unless she was willing to go with them...

Jiang Yaonian's face gradually became ugly...

When Concubine Jia saw the ruby ​​plum blossom hairpin beside his pillow, she couldn't help but reach out to take it, and asked as she looked at it, "Anian, what is this?"

Jiang Yaonian was silent for a while and then said, "This is a gift for Qinghe."

Concubine Jia was surprised and asked, "Ah, then why is it here with you?"

Jiang Yaonian said nothing...he felt indescribable pain and sadness in his heart!

Concubine Jia carefully observed the expression on his face and asked tentatively, "What happened?"

Jiang Yaonian said nothing.

Concubine Jia asked again tentatively: "Did you two have a fight?"

Jiang Yaonian said calmly: "No."

"Hey, how come this hairpin is here with you?"

"I picked it up."

Jiang Jianian's face changed after hearing this, and he asked in confusion: "Picked it up? How could anyone be willing to throw away such valuable jewelry... Unless they broke up, it would be impossible to throw it away!"

Jiang Yaonian said calmly, "She never liked to wear these things, nor did she like to dress up. Maybe she accidentally dropped it on the ground, and the maid picked it up and gave it to me."

After hearing this, Concubine Jia's eyes suddenly became a little strange, and she remained silent for a long time without saying anything...

Jiang Yaonian asked her, "Why did you come here today?"

Concubine Jia forced a smile and said, "Nothing, I heard Qinghe was missing, so I came to see you. I wonder if you have any news?"

Jiang Yaonian shook his head.

Concubine Jia stood up and said, "Take care of yourself and don't be too sad. I'm leaving first." Then she left the study.

After she left, Jiang Yaonian's eyes dimmed instantly...

Although he was very sad last night and almost went crazy with anger, he was unwilling to admit that Qinghe had fallen in love with someone else and abandoned him...

When Concubine Jia passed by a row of roses, a slender figure flashed out from the side and asked softly, "Madam, Master Jiang didn't say he wanted to drive me away, did he?"

Concubine Jia looked around, frowned and said to her, "Shh! Don't talk here! Go to the pavilion."

Jin Ling'er nodded in understanding, and the master and servant quietly came to the pavilion in front, which was next to a lake and was quiet and deserted.

Jin Ling'er asked impatiently, "Last time, the queen said there was a way to let me stay. I wonder if Mr. Jiang agreed?"

Concubine Jia smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's okay."

"Thank you, ma'am!"

"But you have to be careful. Jingying won't give up. She used to rack her brains to fight with that little village girl. Now that the little village girl is gone, she will not give up easily! But I have promised her that I will not stop her from marrying Anian, so you have to be careful and don't let her catch you and drive you out!"

"I know, please rest assured, I will remember it."

"Well, it's up to you now! Find a way to become Ah Nian's personal maid, and then go to the study to help His Highness steal the letter..."

"Yes."

"After completing the mission, you will be free, and your father will be given special treatment in prison. When the new emperor ascends the throne and grants amnesty to the people, your father will be released from prison."

"Thank you, ma'am!"

"Okay, come with me to the upper room."

"Yes."

The master and servant left the pavilion and walked up to the upper room. Yao Furong, who was hiding under the pavilion and eavesdropping on these words, was so shocked that she dared not move...

She came here early this morning to slack off, but unexpectedly someone came over halfway through, and she accidentally overheard the conversation between the two!

Yao Furong angrily said in her heart: "Someone wants to go to the study to steal my brother-in-law's letters? I can't just sit there and watch!"

……

In the upper room, Concubine Jia elegantly picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then put it down and said to Old Madam Jiang, "Grandmother, Qinghe has been missing for so many days now, and Anian is alone in the study without anyone to take care of her. Why not send two maids to serve her?"

Madam Jiang said, "I told him, but he didn't want to."

"But if he gets sick like today, it would be inconvenient to have the guards take care of him. I think it would be better to let Ling'er stay in the study to take care of him. This girl is nimble and honest, and she looks a bit like Qinghe. It would be perfect for her to take care of Anian instead of Qinghe..."

Madam Jiang frowned and said, "What you said does make some sense. I will discuss it with Nian'er later."

"Well, you should also try to persuade him not to be too sad. I saw that he looked very haggard just now..."

Madam Jiang was silent for a long while, then she slowly said, "Yesterday, the maid Xia'er told me that Qinghe gave her a hairpin before she left, and asked her to pass it to Yaonian, and told her not to look for her again!"

"Ah! Is there such a thing?" Concubine Jia was very surprised, but she secretly said in her heart: "I bribed that maid to say so... I also took the hairpin off the head of that little village girl after I knocked her unconscious and gave it to the maid!"
