When Jiang Chengli sneaked back in, he found that the guards around him had disappeared and the yard was empty. It was obvious that Xing Xiaoya and Princess Zhaoyang had left.

He frowned, not knowing whether it was the world consciousness that was preventing him from acting or if it was just a coincidence.

But he couldn't care about these things at the moment and chased after him directly.

Shengguan Street is the most prosperous street in Wangjing. It has wide roads and is bustling with people coming and going.

When this street was being planned, it was originally intended to be a subsidiary street, and the main street was planned separately. However, because of its good name, Shengguan Street, which sounds like promotion, gradually many officials bought houses and settled here. Later, as it became more popular, some dignitaries also moved here to live, and it eventually became the most famous street in Wangjing.

Xu Wanying sat in the carriage, looking along the gap revealed by the swaying curtain, leisurely enjoying the street scene.

"Third sister-in-law, is there anything exciting outside?" Jiang Jinyu was sitting nearby, looking a little restless.

The education she received since childhood was to remain calm in the face of praise or criticism and to maintain her manners. Behaviors like secretly looking out while sitting in the carriage were strictly prohibited.

Even Li Chunlan, who grew up in a merchant family, knows this, and no matter how curious she is, she will hold back.

However, Xu Wanying is not so restricted. If she wants to watch, she can watch openly. No one in the Jiang family will say anything to her. Instead, they hope that she will watch more. If she can watch and feel good, then everyone will be happy.

No one was watching before, so Jiang Jinyu didn't feel anything. But now that someone like Xu Wanying, an outlier, appeared and watched so intently, she couldn't help but become curious.

"Want to know? Why don't you just come and see for yourself?" Xu Wanying turned around, met her gaze, seemed to see through her inner thoughts, and teased her.

Jiang Jinyu frowned subconsciously, but quickly relaxed. After hesitating for a moment, he obeyed his own heart, carefully lifted the curtain of the car next to him, and looked out.

The noisy sounds became clearer. Outside, people were coming and going, cars were busy, and the bustling atmosphere of the city suddenly came into her eyes, making her feel shocked.

Jiang Jinyu stared for a while, but didn't see anything lively. Everyone was busy with their own things. Her curiosity was satisfied, so she lost interest.

"My third sister-in-law lied to me. How can there be any fun at all!" She lowered the curtain and couldn't help but curl her lips.

"I'm not lying to you, it's just that seeing is believing. It's better for you to see it for yourself than for me to say a hundred words." Xu Wanying waved her hand.

The weather is nice today, so the aunt and sister-in-law decided to go out for a stroll.

In fact, Xu Wanying was curious about the entertainment programs of the ladies in ancient times, so she asked Jiang Jinyu to take her out to experience it.

Of course, a woman like Jiang Jinyu usually hangs out with her friends at poetry gatherings, tea parties, flower viewing parties, etc., all kinds of pretentious activities. Considering that Xu Wanying didn't like that kind of atmosphere and couldn't fit in, Jiang Jinyu didn't call her friends, but planned to go through the process alone with the two of them.

[Host, I have detected that Xing Xiaoya is nearby. Do you want to use energy to detect her? ]

At this moment, the system's voice suddenly came out.

The aunt and sister-in-law immediately stopped talking and pricked up their ears to listen.

But when Xu Wanying heard the name "Xing Xiaoya", her eyebrows immediately raised high, and she subconsciously replied: [No! I won't waste energy on her. ]

[She has a noble person by her side, the kind that makes her tremble every time she walks in Wangjing.] The system obviously did not give up, and emphasized it again, trying to arouse her curiosity.

[Is the noble the emperor?] Xu ​​Wanying asked calmly: [She hooked up with the emperor and wanted to dump Jiang Chengli? Or is she unwilling to be with the emperor and thinks that she and Jiang Chengli are true love, so she is running away from the emperor and Jiang Chengli is a cannon fodder?]

She didn't even take a breath as she complained in her heart.

In fact, what she said were all common plots in novels, but when they fell into Jiang Jinyu's ears, they caused a huge storm.

She couldn't sit still at all. She was so shocked that she forgot she was in a carriage and stood up directly.

A muffled "bang" sound instantly attracted Xu Wanying's attention. Before she could ask, she saw Jiang Jinyu covering his head and waving at her with his other hand to indicate that he was fine.

"Is there anything fun outside? What makes you so excited!" Xu Wanying immediately turned her head, lifted the car curtain again, and looked over carefully, but it was obviously useless.

"No, Third Sister-in-law, I was just distracted and saw it wrongly."

Hearing her say this, Xu Wanying couldn't help but curl her lips and lowered the car curtain.

[Host, why do you keep talking about the emperor? It has nothing to do with him. He is old enough to be Xiaoya's grandfather. Xiaoya doesn't even look down on old men!] The indignant voice of the system came.

[If he is not an emperor, what kind of noble is he? I am not interested, don't waste my energy! ] Xu Wanying snorted coldly.

[Hey, Jiang Chengli is also nearby? ]

Even the electronic sound couldn't conceal the shock contained in it.

[Is it strange that he is here? You said before that he is Xing Xiaoya's number one protector, so he is always with her.] Xu Wanying sneered and didn't take it to heart.

[Tsk, but he is not in the right state. He has a hidden arrow in his sleeve and his hand is on the switch. He is preparing to launch a sneak attack, and the direction of the hidden arrow is still towards Xing Xiaoya's carriage.] The system immediately refuted.

[Does he want to kill Princess Zhaoyang? Fool, Princess Zhaoyang is an important golden finger of Xing Xiaoya, and her role is no less important than his. If he kills Princess Zhaoyang, it will simply cut off a major help for Xing Xiaoya! ]

The system became very excited and even started to shout: [Why, why did he want to kill Princess Zhaoyang? He didn't love Xing Xiaoya to his core, he didn't even touch her normally, why did he go crazy whenever Xing Xiaoya was with someone else——]

Xu Wanying couldn't help herself, so she opened the front curtain of the carriage and looked outside.

Jiang Jinyu wanted to stop her, but before she opened her mouth, she saw Xu Wanying making a "hush" gesture at her.

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Jinyu closed his mouth and moved closer, wanting to see the situation outside clearly.

Princess Zhaoyang's carriage was very magnificent, and the outer walls were inlaid with gems, which sparkled brightly under the sunlight and was very eye-catching.

Coincidentally, the carriage was not far in front of them.

At this moment, two cows suddenly broke through the ropes and ran directly towards this side, causing the jewel carriage that was originally moving to stop.

[He pressed the switch! ] the system prompted.

With a "whoosh", the sleeve arrow shot straight over and just happened to enter through the car window, shooting in at an angle.

However, the sleeve arrow that was supposed to hit someone's neck deviated because the carriage suddenly stopped, and only hit Xing Xiaoya's arm.

"There is an assassin!" Princess Zhaoyang screamed loudly in the car.

"Protect the princess!" The guards gathered around and protected the carriage on both sides.
