Chapter 30 No Man’s Land

After a few gentle lectures, the third lady had to fulfill her duties as an aunt. She called the doctor to come and see Jiang Ruohua again, ordered the kitchen to boil ginger soup and hot tea, and then asked the maids to take good care of her. After making sure that Jiang Ruohua would not catch cold or fever, he took Jiang Ruoting and left.

"Miss, here comes the ginger soup."

Hua Chan took the ginger soup from the little maid's hand and ordered her to go down. She personally served Jiang Ruohua and blew on the hot ginger soup before passing it over.

"Bring it to me." Jiang Ruohua reached out and took it. After tasting the temperature, he drank the hot ginger soup in one breath. He suddenly felt that his throat and stomach were boiling hot from the hot ginger soup, and he was wrapped in a quilt. , and after a while I felt like I was starting to sweat.

Hua Chan and Yin Qiu took turns wiping the sweat off Jiang Ruohua's body. Yin Qiu changed the handkerchief and said, "I'm really frightened this slave today. This Hua Fang has been in good condition for so many years, how could it suddenly become like this? Why? It happens to be the room where Princess Shangyang is."

"Have you seen the person who went into the water to save people before me?" Jiang Ruohua took a book and read it in his hand to pass the time.

"It seems... it's a man, but he's far away. After you rushed down, miss, the slaves only looked at you and didn't pay attention to that." Yin Qiu said.

Spreading the book on the bed, Jiang Ruohua leaned on the soft pillow and looked at the two of them and said, "That's the Crown Prince of the Minghou Mansion."

When the two heard this, their faces were shocked!

What kind of person is the prince of the Minghou Mansion? Who in the whole capital doesn't know? Relying on some merits from his ancestors and relying on his title to get around, his sister is considered the new favorite in the palace. The prince of the Minghou Mansion is a devil in the world, and he is even more lawless when he grows up. Minghou and Mrs. Hou don't care, they just let him go. He uses his power to bully others and bully the weak.

It was not uncommon to rob civilian girls and play maids to death, but his sister took care of them.

"In this generation of the Ming Hou Mansion, the family fortunes are in decline, and no one has any fame. How can the remaining family property of the Hou Mansion alone be enough to squander it?" Jiang Ruohua said in a low voice, "I went there quickly at that time. , But how can the Prince of Minghou Mansion be so quick? This falling into the water may be an accident, but saving others may not be. "

Yin Qiu frowned when she heard this: "Miss, you mean that the Crown Prince of Minghou Mansion wants to... be Princess Shangyang's consort?"

"Not to mention rising to prominence, it is easy to find a casual job. Princess Shangyang is also the direct descendant of the middle palace. How much higher is her monthly salary plus food and accommodation than other princesses? Even the ten Minghou mansions cannot afford so much."

To get all this, you only need to take away the princess' innocence. How simple.

Hua Chan glared and said angrily: "It's unreasonable. The Crown Prince of Minghou Mansion is worse than a pig or a dog! He has neither fame nor character. Look at the way he behaves every day. Maybe he has some unclean disease." What! Is he worthy of marrying the princess?"

"So, if I don't go down, Princess Shangyang will be stuck here for the rest of her life." Jiang Ruohua also felt angry. Even a princess could not escape being scorned by others and marrying someone to save her face. She encountered this in her dream He has suffered many injustices and seen too many injustices. "If I go down, I may only be ill for a few days, but if I don't go down and let this kind of thing succeed, I will never be able to swallow this breath."

As both women, this kind of experience that only happens to women inevitably makes Jiang Ruohua feel sympathy for each other. Since she can help and it is beneficial to herself, she thinks she has no reason to stand by and watch.

Having said that, she had been practicing martial arts for many years, and her body and bones were not so bad that she would die after being soaked in water for a while. She was completely fine now.

"Let's have dinner by ourselves." Jiang Ruohua said, "It happens to be quieter. Anyone who comes later will say that I fell asleep."

Yin Qiu nodded, and taking advantage of the laziness of the hotel maids, she went to help Jiang Ruohua get new night clothes, which she asked her father to bring in.

With the new night clothes, it was more convenient to go out at night. Jiang Ruohua took a look at it and put it on the bed for the time being. Hua Chan brought back dinner after a while and saw the night clothes on the bed and said, "Miss, why don't you take a day off?" Go again?”

"The sooner the better." After thinking about it, Jiang Ruohua felt that it would be better to go today. Grandpa Gao sent a letter last night, asking her to take some time to go, which meant that the iron order was ready.

Jiang Ruohua didn't know who the master behind the mysterious iron order was from her grandfather. She also had no way of knowing how much this iron order could help her. But now that the iron order was in her hands, she Just have to give it a try.

In the hazy night, Jiang Ruohua rushed to Grandpa Gao's home.

"You're here."

Grandpa Gao opened the door and asked Jiang Ruohua to come in. Jiang Ruohua nodded: "Grandpa Gao."

One old and one young, the two of them were dressed in night clothes. As a former servant of the Jiang family and a soldier who was born and died with the Duke of the country, Grandpa Gao was still very agile at his age. After saying goodbye to Grandma Gao briefly, Grandpa Gao took the Follow Jiang Ruohua towards an increasingly secluded place.

This is the most special area in Beijing. Thirty years ago, an extraterrestrial rock fell, which destroyed the houses of this generation. Many people living here died in this natural disaster, and most of the remaining people were also killed. I chose to move out of here because I was afraid of natural disasters. Although the emperor ordered the country to contribute to the construction afterwards, there were no aristocratic families living in that area. Secondly, ordinary people were either afraid of natural disasters or did not have the money to buy houses or renovate them. It was also because of these reasons that repairs were not taken seriously. In addition, it was subsequently left unoccupied and unmanaged, and several areas fell into disrepair.

As time went by, the place became more and more dilapidated, and no one was willing to settle here. It became a place for ruffians and homeless people.

As more ruffians came, the reluctance of ordinary people became even more serious.

Officials did not dare to care about this place casually, so wouldn't ordinary people like them who had no power and influence have no way out?

People sleeping in shabby tile houses could be seen everywhere. Although summer was better than winter, and it was not so cold because of the wind leaking from all sides, it was still smelly in summer. Most of the people here were homeless and poor. They lived by begging and stealing all day long. Probably no one was a good person.

Jiang Ruohua did not like this place.

Places where no one is watching are where strength speaks. Some houses are good, some are bad, but even in places that leak wind and rain, you can't sleep there. This place has its own rules, and there are also so-called overlords. Even at night, it is not quiet here. There are quarrels, fights, shouting, and obscene words, and you can hear them if you listen carefully.
