"Where is it?" Upon hearing this, Cen Ying immediately called the maid and looked at the painting carefully.

"It really looks like the third brother." After taking a closer look, she nodded in agreement, then quickly frowned again: "But the third brother was sent out of Beijing, and even the Marquis doesn't know his exact whereabouts, so it's not easy to ask. Now I don't know where he is either. Does Miss Xing know?"

Xing Xiaoya subconsciously wanted to shake her head, but before she could do anything, her arm was held down by someone.

"Madam Hou asked a good question. This young man is in the Princess's residence right now. I can invite him in immediately. Ladies and girls who are not convenient, please leave to avoid disturbing you." Princess Zhaoyang spoke calmly.

Xing Xiaoya was slightly surprised, with a look of disbelief on her face. Obviously, she did not expect to find Brother Dazhuang.

Then her face showed joy again, and she was happy about the man's arrival. As expected, Brother Dazhuang was still worried about her and finally found her here.

"There's nothing to offend. The princess is a royal family, and if she can meet this young master, then naturally we can meet him too."

"That's right. This is amnesia, and it's related to Mr. Jiang San. I'm very curious. If I can't see it with my own eyes, I'm afraid I'll regret it."

The ladies in the hall spoke up one after another. They really didn't want to meet an ordinary country man for fear of causing trouble, but the identity of this young man really whetted everyone's appetite. Moreover, Princess Zhaoyang spoke so firmly, they didn't want to miss this good show.

"Okay, since everyone says so, I will have someone invite him out. Ladies, please rest assured that he is a polite person at first glance." Princess Zhaoyang promised.

Hearing her speak so confidently, the women of the Jiang family couldn't help but look at each other, with a hint of uneasiness in their eyes.

No way, the third brother actually came?

Although they knew that today would not end well when they came to the banquet, if Jiang Chengli's identity was revealed in front of so many people, the impact would be huge and it would be difficult to cover up.

"Mom, what should we do?" Li Chunlan was the most impatient. She couldn't help but pull Cen Ying's sleeve and asked in a low voice.

Cen Ying winked at her, asking her to be patient.

[Humph, Jiang Chengli, the loyal male second, has been acting abnormally recently. Instead of staying by Xiaoya's side to protect her, he has been disappearing all day. Princess Zhaoyang was really helpful in bringing Xiaoya to the Princess's residence. After not seeing her for a few days, Jiang Lao San must have been worried, looking for her eagerly, hahahaha...]

Before Xu Wanying even asked, the system took the initiative to speak, and its tone was quite proud.

Jiang Chengli walked out. He was wearing a navy blue brocade robe and a jade crown on his head. When he stood in the hall, he looked like a noble young man with an aura all over his body.

"Greetings, ladies." He clasped his hands together and bowed, looking like a green bamboo.

"This is really Mr. Jiang San."

"I've seen Jiang Lao San, he looks exactly like him."

The hall was quiet at first, and then suddenly became lively, like a drop of water falling into hot oil, causing a thousand waves.

"He seems to have really lost his memory. The Jiang family is here, but he has no reaction."

Everyone looked at him carefully, and after recognizing who he was, their eyes moved between him and the women of the Jiang family, observing their reactions.

When the women of the Jiang family saw the man appear, they all showed complicated expressions on their faces. However, Jiang Chengli did not change at all. He remained calm and composed, and his attitude was completely like that of a stranger.

Jiang Chengli came back to his senses and found that he was no longer observing quietly outside the Princess's Mansion, but was inside the Princess's Mansion, facing the noble ladies who were having a flower-viewing banquet.

"Brother, a lady recognized you and said your last name is Jiang. Do you have any impression?" Xing Xiaoya's voice came, with a hint of caution.

She hid the word "Zhuang" and only dared to call him "Big Brother".

Jiang Chengli was still a little confused about the situation at first, but when he heard Xing Xiaoya's question, he instantly understood the current situation.

He had no recollection of how he entered the Princess's Mansion and how he came before the ladies.

It was obvious that he was controlled by the world consciousness again. Since he was slow to follow the plot and kept avoiding Xing Xiaoya, the plot progressed very slowly. Finally, the world consciousness came online again, controlled his body, and forced him to step to the front of the stage.

Now he stood here, in front of him were the noble ladies of Wangjing, facing the Jiang family, and behind him was Princess Zhaoyang

When witnessing, he had no way to avoid it.

The fact that he and Xing Xiaoya lived together on Wutong Street, as well as the ups and downs they had experienced together before, would inevitably come to the surface, and there would be no way around it.

[Hey, host, this is the third time you have seen your husband since the wedding night, right? But he is not here for you now, but for another woman. And after today, everyone will know that Xing Xiaoya is his mistress, and the two of them have worked together to overcome many difficulties. How do you feel now? ]

The system popped up to ask in time. It didn't dare to speak so jumpily at this moment. The ending tone was even falling, which seemed quite cautious, as if it was afraid of angering her.

Xu Wanying sneered: [What can I think about? At worst, we can just get divorced. We don't have any feelings for each other anyway. This Loyalty Marquis Mansion looks like a restless place. Everyone is plagued by bad luck. If I stay with them, I will be infected and die sooner or later.]

She had obviously made plans. Xing Xiaoya's luck as a heroine was too strong. She couldn't afford to offend her, but at least she could afford to avoid her.

[Hmm——] Upon hearing this, the system could not help but cough lightly, and quickly changed the subject: [Host, it’s OK as long as you have a good attitude, but you must be mentally prepared. Jiang Chengli will probably show off his affection with Xing Xiaoya, and you, as the wife, will be laughed at——]

But before the system could finish its words, the situation took a sudden turn for the worse. Jiang Chengli suddenly turned around, grabbed Xing Xiaoya's neck, and exerted great force.

With a slight "click", Xing Xiaoya's slender neck broke like a broken branch.

Everyone present was stunned when they saw this scene. No one expected that the man would turn around and break Xing Xiaoya's neck the next second while they were still discussing their relationship.

However, before these ladies could even scream, everything around them stopped.

Jiang Chengli only had time to withdraw his hand before his eyes fell into darkness. At the last moment, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, feeling very happy.

In fact, he also knew that killing Xing Xiaoya in this way would not help at all. He was the only one who remembered it, and everything would return to its original state afterwards. It was completely unnecessary for him to do so.

But after hearing the so-called system say those words, a strong dissatisfaction surged in his heart.

Even if breaking the neck was a waste of effort, he still wanted to do it, at least it could ease the hatred in his heart.

Xu Wanying widened her eyes. This time she saw it clearly, and from a very close distance, she even did not miss the expression on Jiang Chengli's face.

That was definitely not love, but a twisted hatred, so much so that he wanted to kill Xing Xiaoya to vent his anger.

After a moment, everything returned to the previous moment. Xing Xiaoya was still standing there, looking at Jiang Chengli with attachment, and the man did not break her neck.

The ladies around were once again immersed in discussion, and everyone was still guessing what their relationship was and how far it had progressed.

It was as if the murder just now was just an illusion.

Xu Wanying kept staring at them. Xing Xiaoya was fine and obviously didn't remember what had just happened, but Jiang Chengli was completely different.

He actually took out a handkerchief and wiped his fingers carefully, completely unconcerned about the ladies' stares and heated discussions.

He wiped very carefully, wiping every gap between his fingers and fingertips clean. He even rubbed too hard, and because his skin was too white, he left red marks on the back of his hands. It was obvious that he was disgusted.

Most people didn't understand his sudden action. After all, after he entered the hall, he just clasped his hands together and bowed. He didn't take any other action after that. He didn't even take a sip of tea. What did he mean by wiping his hands here?

The system that was back online also began to ask: [What's wrong with this Jiang Lao San? He is allergic to air. He keeps wiping it. It looks disgusting. Does he feel that paying respect to the ladies has made his hands dirty? ]

Xu Wanying blinked her eyes. That couldn't be the reason.

He wiped his hands like this probably because he had just pinched Xing Xiaoya's neck and he felt his hands were dirty.

Therefore, among the people present, besides herself, Jiang Chengli also remembered the incident of breaking the neck.

After she came into this body, she had only seen Jiang Chengli three times in total.

Apart from the misunderstanding in the first episode, every time we saw him the other two times, he was trying to kill Xing Xiaoya, and his behavior the last time also showed that he remembered the murder.

Obviously, he wanted to kill Xing Xiaoya very much. When Xu Wanying wasn't looking, he must have tried countless times, but failed every time.

[No, system, he doesn't love Xing Xiaoya, on the contrary, he hates her very much.] Xu Wanying couldn't help but speak out her guess in her heart.

[Huh? Host, what nonsense are you talking about? How could he not love her? Jiang Lao San loves Xing Xiaoya so much that he even sacrificed his life for her. Are you trying to comfort yourself? Do you think your husband loves other women more, so you are unwilling to accept it and hypnotize yourself? ]

The system didn't believe it at all. It didn't even know why Xu Wanying could say such a thing.

It had clearly told her many times that Jiang Chengli was the infatuated second male lead, and his mission was to protect Xing Xiaoya at the cost of everything.

It was Jiang Chengli who suddenly raised his head and looked over.

He couldn't help but narrow his eyes, his heart full of doubts, what did Xu Wanying find out? Why did she say such a sure thing, and she directly denied the words of the artifact, guessing his true thoughts.

Something must have happened in between.
