Chapter 17 An awkward encounter

Ye Ling'er knew very well that Jiang Chen probably let this person monitor her.

Suddenly, an idea popped into her head.

It's probably not her that Jiang Chen is watching, but Jiang Mohan.

This thought flashed by, Ye Linger looked past Jiang Chen, and carefully sized up the people behind Jiang Chen.

What Jiang Chen brought was an old man. The old man looked very old, with a gray beard hanging on his chin, and a darker face covered with wrinkles.

It was his eyes that made Ye Linger look twice more.

Those eyes were not like those of the people she saw in the Snake Palace, these eyes were like mice, small but shrewd.

She finally knew what to use to describe the old man: evil eyebrows and mouse eyes.

Sure enough, he came to monitor Jiang Mohan.

Ye Ling'er was silent in her heart, and then she responded, "Thank you."

Jiang Chen still smiled like a spring breeze, "Sister-in-law Wang, you're welcome, I should help you."

Jiang Chen said, looking around, "Sister-in-law Wang, where did you just say you were going?"

"Just walk around, it's boring to be alone."

"Since it's boring, I'll accompany Mrs. Wang for a walk."

Jiang Chen consciously stood beside Ye Linger.

Ye Ling'er raised her eyes and glanced at him, then raised her feet and walked forward slowly.

With Jiang Chen around, she definitely wouldn't be able to go to the study, so it would be a wonderful thing for her to walk around the garden and look at the scenery.

Fortunately, Jiang Chen was just by her side and didn't have much to say.

The two walked halfway through the garden, Ye Linger was already sweating profusely.

Not because it was too hot, but because her feet were so painful.

She was thinking of finding an excuse to leave when she heard a melodious sound of a piano not far away.

Her eyes lit up, "Who is this playing the piano?"

After she finished speaking, she limped forward.

Behind her, Jiang Chen stared at her ankle with a slight twinkle in his eyes.

In the innermost part of the garden, there is a piece of Rhododendron, and in the center of the Rhododendron is a gazebo.

At this time, Bai Yuhan and Jiang Mohan were sitting in the gazebo, and the one playing the piano was Bai Yuhan.

Ye Ling'er stopped abruptly.

If she had known that Bai Yuhan was playing the piano, she would never have come here.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help turning around.

Before she could make another move, Bai Yuhan stopped her.

"Princess, you've come here, why don't you come in and sit down."

Bai Yuhan put her hands on her knees and clenched her fists tightly. The nails on her fingers were very long, and they sank into her palms, and she didn't know it.

God knows, she saw how much she hated Ye Linger, God knows how she could bear it, and suppressed the hatred in her heart.

She will never forget everything that happened half an hour ago.

She thought, if she hadn't met Jiang Mohan on the way back to find Ye Linger, Ye Linger would have turned into a pile of meat.

But no matter how much she hated her, she could only bear it. With Jiang Mohan by her side, she couldn't do anything.

She smiled and groaned, as if she was a harmless and kind woman.

Ye Ling'er paused, but continued to move forward.

When Ye Linger appeared in a corner of the garden, Jiang Mohan had already noticed her.

He originally wanted to pretend he didn't see Ye Linger, but instead he saw Jiang Chen next to Ye Linger.

Jiang Mohan's eyes became a little dangerous.

It seems that she didn't listen to what he said to Ye Ling'er this morning.

Just as he was about to speak, Bai Yuhan spoke up. He originally wanted to wait for Ye Linger to come over so he could teach her a lesson, but who knows, she still continued to walk forward.

In an instant, he was so angry that he put the teacup on the stone table forcefully, and roared angrily:

"Ye Ling'er, don't be polite when you see this king? Do you need this king to teach you personally!"

Ye Linger shook her head helplessly, turned around and walked to Jiang Mohan step by step, "Your Majesty misunderstood, I just don't want to disturb you and Miss Bai."

Hearing this, Jiang Mohan frowned.

"Ye Ling'er! Pay attention to what you say."

"I know what I said very well. You and Miss Bai are playing the piano and watching the scenery here. I'd better leave as soon as possible."

After she dropped these words, she turned around without hesitation. During the whole process, she didn't look at Bai Yuhan, as if Bai Yuhan was the air.

How could Bai Yuhan be reconciled, she didn't wait for Jiang Mohan to speak, she stepped forward and grabbed Ye Linger's wrist.

"Princess, have you misunderstood something? The king and I are innocent. If the concubine cares about it, then I will leave."

Hearing this, Ye Linger felt like vomiting.

play self pity?
It's ridiculous.

Maybe everyone here will get used to Bai Yuhan, but she won't, she stares into Bai Yuhan's eyes with a cold face.

"Okay, then you can leave."

Bai Yuhan never dreamed that Ye Ling'er would let her go so directly, her face turned green and then pale, and finally turned her eyes to Jiang Mohan, her eyes were full of pleading for help.

Jiang Mohan took a sip of tea as if he didn't see Bai Yuhan's gaze.

"Ye Ling'er, have you forgotten what the king told you this morning?"

"My lord, I haven't forgotten, but my lord, have you forgotten your identity?"

Ye Ling'er threw everything to Jiang Mohan, Jiang Mohan was so choked that he couldn't get up and down.

"Ye Ling'er! This king will give you another chance, so you should think clearly about what to say and what not to say."

All of a sudden, Ye Linger felt that this was boring, and she rubbed her brows wearily.

"I'm tired. I'm going back to rest. Let Miss Bai accompany you."

Ye Ling'er turned around as she spoke, before she could take a step, Jiang Mohan slapped the stone table with her palm.

There was a bang, and the corners of Ye Ling'er's mouth twitched.

"Ye Ling'er! Where are you going without my king's permission!"

"Can I go back to my room?"

"My king forbids it!"

As if taking an oath of sovereignty, Jiang Mohan glanced at Jiang Chen faintly, then stared closely at Ye Linger.

But he underestimated Ye Linger.

Ye Linger remained expressionless, "Your Majesty, I said I was tired and wanted to go back to rest, I..."

"My king said no!"

There was boundless anger in Jiang Mohan's tone, as if he was about to explode the next moment.

He was angry, and Ye Linger was also angry.

"I do not!"

"Say one more word!"

"I said I don't! I want to go back and rest, I..."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Mohan stood up and grabbed her wrist, pulling her hard towards him.

Ye Ling'er's ankle was already in pain, and when she was pulled by him like this without any preparation, she fell to the side without any focus.

The place where she fell was on Jiang Mohan's right. Jiang Mohan stretched out his hand to pick up Ye Linger out of conditioned reflex.

At this moment, Jiang Chen ran to Ye Linger's side in two steps, Jiang Mohan took one step ahead, and hugged Ye Linger in his arms.

He looked down at Ye Ling'er, his eyes filled with distress.

"Are you OK."

Jiang Mohan's fingers creaked, his eyes were full of murderous intent.
