The little girl from Dali Temple got promoted and made a fortune by solving crimes

Chapter 67 Concealing Identity
Zhao Guannan leaned against the window and looked at the rain outside. The rainwater fell from the eaves and connected drop by drop, just like the guards around him pouring tea and water for him.

Dan Shu looked at Zhao Guannan and asked tentatively, "Is the young master interested in the Jiang family girl?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhao Guannan put down the tea cup in his hand seriously: "This is a marriage gift from the queen."

"But Young Master, you came here to explain the situation to the girl from the Jiang family. You wrote to Beijing just to break off the engagement with the girl from the Xie family, but how could you know that His Majesty directly made the girl from the Xie family disappear completely? Now Xie Qingshu is considered a concubine. Your Majesty will not allow her to deceive you when she enters the palace." Dan Shu continued: "You just mentioned the matter of the Jiang family girl, and your intention was to explain to her the reason why she did not go to Shuzhou County to take up a post. Your Majesty will mistakenly think that you are interested in the Jiang family girl, so he specially granted you a marriage."

"I will obey the Queen Mother's will." A hint of cunning flashed in Zhao Guannan's eyes. He was not a follower of the rules. When the Queen Mother granted him a marriage, although he had no intention of marrying the Xie family girl, he did not directly reject the Queen Mother's kindness. In his opinion, the queen mother's choice must be no problem.

But he didn't want to get married prematurely. The old lady of the Xie family passed away, and the wedding between Xie Qingshu and him was postponed for three years. He felt happy for a moment in his heart.

He did not do this unintentionally. He only felt extremely guilty towards Jiang Sushang. He had angered her and almost killed her because of Honghua's death. He felt very unhappy.

"The girl from the Xie family loves you, sir, and has traveled thousands of miles to pursue you. You also prepared many gifts for her in the past, but I have never seen you so proud of me!"

"That……"

Jiang Sushang and Lan came over at this moment, and Dan Shu signaled to Zhao Guannan that there was a stranger listening in the corner.

"Sir, why did you respond to the Jiang girl just now and say you like her?" Dan Shu winked, indicating that the person listening in the corner was Jiang Sushang.

Zhao Guannan's tone was indifferent and he said nonchalantly: "She seems to be ill and talks nonsense. I can only follow her words."

Jiang Sushang was relieved when he heard that Zhao Guannan was just cooperating with her and not liking her. He was afraid that he would be caught eavesdropping in the corner, so he quickly took Lan Shi away with him.

Dan Shu said with an expression of hatred, "My son, my master! You scared away the girl you like!"

"Do you think she likes me or King Huainan?"

"Of course she likes you. She has never met King Huainan. How could she like a stranger? Even if she likes him, I'm afraid she only likes the prince's identity and doesn't really like you. Besides, the young master is King Huainan. Which one does she like? , are all good for the young master." Dan Shu said sadly. In his opinion, it was a good thing that the young master finally found a girl he liked. Her Majesty the Empress specially told him to be optimistic about the young master and Jiang Sushang. The implication was that It is to let the young master stabilize his character as early as possible, get married and have children early.

All the other princes and princesses were married and had children, and only his son was single. It was no wonder that Her Majesty the Empress was worried about his life-long affairs.

Zhao Guannan did not speak. He suddenly thought of Xie Qingshu. Xie Qingshu liked him but did not like the King of Huainan. He knew that most women liked him because of his talent. The "Guannan Notes" he wrote attracted countless women to rush to buy it. .

He wants a woman who likes him both physically and mentally, not just for his talents.He needs a soul mate.

Before coming to Jiang Mansion, he knew that Jiang Sushang was definitely not his type. Jiang Sushang and he were both extremely proud people. Neither of them would accommodate the other. When they were together, they would only learn from each other and not have any problems. Happy at all.

The moment he met Jiang Sushang on the way, Jiang Sushang asked him pitifully: "Do you like me?"

He found that his insistence on choosing a wife disappeared at that moment.

Perhaps, he liked Jiang Sushang for a moment in his heart.The queen mother wanted him to get married, and Jiang Sushang was liked by the queen, and he also liked Jiang Sushang. Furthermore, he had a good relationship with Jiang Changying, and he and Jiang Sushang were well-liked by everyone.

He once said to Jiang Changying: "The woman I want doesn't have to be stunningly beautiful, smart, or have a prominent family. She must like me and be emotionally attached to me. I would like to stay with her for the rest of my life, as long as This is her alone."

Zhao Guannan said to Dan Shu beside him: "Let's use this identity! Don't let her know my true identity." "Yes."

At dinner in the evening, Jiang Chengzan sent someone to invite Jiang Suchang to have a home-cooked meal with him.

Jiang Sushang went happily, but was told by someone: "Miss, you should change your clothes! The master has told me that there is a lot of silk and satin in your room, and the one you are wearing is out of date."

Jiang Sushang walked into the room and when she was changing clothes, she suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Sister Lan Shi, you told the people who came here that my high fever has not gone away. To avoid exposing my father and brother to the illness, we will not eat together tonight."

Although Lan Shi was puzzled, he still did as he was told.

"Miss, it's rare for you to get together with me, why do you refuse?"

"If there is a gathering of relatives, my father will not ask me to change my clothes. Zhao Guannan must have stayed here, so I need to treat guests with courtesy." When Jiang Sushang thought of the questions he asked when he was high in fever and confused, She was too embarrassed to see Zhao Guannan.

Jiang Sushang and Lan Shi were having dinner in their room. Not long after, someone came over with an invitation.

Jiang Sushang looked through the invitation, which was an invitation to the birthday banquet of King Ling'an.

"My lady is from the Jiang family. These favors are necessary. Besides, this invitation is personally invited by King Ling'an. My lady has to go."

Jiang Sushang frowned. When she was at the Jiang family, her aunt would have a lot of entertainment, but if she couldn't go, her aunt wouldn't force her.

"Miss, the master said that he forgives you for pretending to be sick and not going to see guests, but King Ling'an's kindness cannot be refuted. I hope you can change into new clothes tomorrow and don't lose the Jiang family's face." The maid is neither humble nor overbearing, but her tone is particularly special. looked down upon Jiang Sushang.

"understood."

The maid left proudly, and Jiang Sushang couldn't help but ask, "Who is she?"

Lan Shi shook her head in confusion, and Shan'er said, "I saw her serving the lady."

"Shan'er, she is not a lady. My father did not give her a title." Jiang Sushang's tone was a little bad. There were rumors from the outside that her mother Yun wanted to be with her father even if she violated the family.

The two of them are representatives of Qin Se and Ming. Countless women envy their mother for marrying the progressive and loving wife Jiang Chengzan.Jiang Sushang thought that his father would always love his mother, but when a woman who looked like his mother appeared, he fell in love with her.

Is this my father's long-term love or...

However, these are beyond her control.

"My slave understands." Shan'er responded, her eyes sparkling with calculation.
