Chapter 9 A Chance Encounter Again
In Xianglan Zhai, Zuo Xiangning heard that Jiang and Zuo Zimo were coming, and hurriedly asked Cai's mother to get her a mat to put on.

Zuo Zimo stood outside the door and said loudly: "Sister, if it's not convenient for me to go in, I will stay outside."

"Third brother, come in." Zuo Xiangning said with a smile.

"Why are you still sick?" Zuo Zimo helped Jiang sit by the bed, looked at Zuo Xiangning's pale face, and asked with concern: "Are you feeling better?"

"Much better." Zuo Xiangning saw that Jiang's face was not good and asked softly: "Who made mother angry?"

Mrs. Jiang was watching a play in the backyard, thinking about Zuo Xiangning. Then she saw her husband Zuo Yian and Aunt Liu quarreling with each other. Mrs. Zuo doted on Zuo Ziteng and Zuo Xiangyu, which made her even more idle. .

Jiang didn't plan to tell her children about their elders, but she felt angry and couldn't express her anger.

"Whose concubine is on an equal footing with the head mistress? All these years, I have been too lazy to pay attention to her, so she thinks I am afraid of her?" Jiang sneered: "Tonight, I didn't give her any good looks, so she has to Please bear with me well!"

Jiang thought, if it weren't for the sake of her children, she wouldn't want to stay in the Zuo family for a day!
"She is a concubine and you are your wife. If she gets along well, then you can turn a blind eye and it will be over. But if she makes trouble out of nothing, then you don't have to save face for her." Zuo Xiangning thought in her heart. Secretly anxious.

Jiang is a woman who looks strong on the surface, but is actually the most kind-hearted person. She can suppress Aunt Liu occasionally, but if she wants her to kill Aunt Liu, she can't do it no matter what. .

But in her previous life, when Aunt Liu was helping Mrs. Zuo with the housekeeping, she tortured Jiang and her third brother to death.

Jiang tucked Zuo Xiangning into the quilt happily, "Mom knows what to do, don't think too much about it, take good care of your body first."

The next morning, Jiang went to Xianglan Zhai for breakfast.

Mother Cai served tea and took everyone out of the room.

Jiang took off the gold bracelet from her wrist and put it on Zuo Xiangning's wrist solemnly.

Zuo Xiangning was shocked when she saw this bracelet.

This is a hollow gold bracelet, a relic of her mother. Jiang gave it to her before she got married in her previous life, and she used it to hold poison.

"This bracelet is hollow and contains 500 taels of silver notes. It is the dowry I gave to your mother." Jiang said slowly.

"My mother's dowry?"

When she got married in her previous life, it was the most difficult time for the Zuo family. Jiang was almost bedridden and did not mention much about her biological mother, Aunt Ding, to Zuo Xiangning.

Mrs. Jiang sighed, "Although your mother is my dowry girl, she loves her sisters. She accepted Mama Cai as her godmother. Mama Cai and I fell in love with a scholar from a poor family. Your mother is also very good. Satisfied, but the scholar was hit and killed by the Liu family's carriage on the street on the second day of the engagement. Aunt Liu said that your mother was a husband and wanted to drive your mother away. Your mother was angry and wanted to help me suppress Aunt Liu. , I proposed to be an aunt, and neither Cai’s mother nor I could dissuade her..."

"When your mother gave birth to you, I promised her that I would love you as my biological daughter." Jiang said hoarsely, "I also hope that you can treat me like your biological mother."

Zuo Xiangning lost her biological mother when she was three years old. If Jiang didn't really love her, how could she have grown up safely?

And Mother Cai, no wonder she always treats her differently from others.

"You are my biological mother." Zuo Xiangning hugged Jiang's arm and burst into tears.

Jiang hugged Zuo Xiangning and had tears in her eyes.

If I had no selfish motives at the time and could find another marriage for Aunt Ding, then Aunt Ding might still be alive and well now.

After Jiang left, Zuo Xiangning changed into a man's clothes and ran to the front yard to find her third brother. She had to go to Mingyue Mountain in the south of the city.

"If I let my mother know that I ran away with you, she will definitely scold me." Zuo Zimo kept talking about this, "Are you feeling better? Don't go out with me for a walk, or the disease will get worse."

"I'm already healed." Zuo Xiangning said with a smile: "I heard that there is a hot spring in Mingyue Mountain, and I want to visit it."

"The springs there have long been taken over and built as separate courtyards. Where is there any place to see them?" Zuo Zimo tried to persuade her, but when he couldn't be persuaded, he could only accompany her to fool around.When they arrived at Mingyue Mountain, Zuo Xiangning wandered back and forth among several mountains until she found the highest one.

In her previous life, her eldest sister once told her that Gu Zhiqing discovered a gold mine under the highest peak in the middle of Mingyue Mountain.

She asked the driver to drive the car directly to the foot of the mountain, and said to Zuo Zimo: "Third brother, I want to buy this mountain."

Zuo Zimo jumped off the carriage and looked curiously at the small mountain peak in front of him, which had nothing special about it, "Why did you buy it?"

"I like the scenery here. I want to build a separate courtyard halfway up the mountain. We can go here to escape the heat in the summer and enjoy the snow here in the winter." Zuo Xiangning shook Zuo Zimo's arm and said coquettishly: "Third brother, I This is where I fell in love.”

"We don't know who owns this mountain, so where can we buy it?" Zuo Zimo had never done such a thing before, coaxing Zuo Xiangning, "Wait for me to find out how to buy this mountain."

"Third Young Master, this mountain belongs to Mingyue Village. As long as you find the village chief, you can buy this mountain." The coachman suddenly said: "My second uncle lives in Mingyue Village. I have heard that nobles from the city come to buy About mountain hunting.”

Zuo Zimo looked at the flattering coachman and the expectant Zuo Xiangning, and could only say: "Then let's go to Mingyue Village and ask."

"Thank you, third brother." Zuo Xiangning climbed onto the carriage without waiting for Zuo Zimo to help her.

Zuo Zimo looked at her clumsy look and raised his lips in a funny way: "It really comes out all the time."

When we arrived at Mingyue Village, things went very smoothly. We actually bought the mountain for 400 taels.

Zuo Zimo looked at the banknote Zuo Xiangning took out and realized that she was not just talking.

Zuo Xiangning asked Zuo Zimo to sign the paperwork, and then followed the village chief and two respected people in the village into the city.

She took out the silver notes from the gold bracelet and exchanged 400 taels of cash for the village chief.

Zuo Zimo asked someone to complete the relevant procedures.

By the time Zuo Xiangning took the land deed in her hand, it was getting late.

Zuo Xiangning felt happy and took Zuo Zimo to Deyue Tower to treat him to dinner.

Zuo Zimo shook his head, "I'll give it to you. You'd better keep your money to build the farm."

"What I want to build is a separate courtyard." Zuo Xiangning said with a smile: "My mother must pay for this money."

"Are you dreaming? I wish you immediate success!" Zuo Zimo said: "I only have 200 taels of silver to supply you, not even a cent more."

"I don't need your money. My mother loves me the most. I will definitely give out..." Zuo Xiangning walked forward confidently and turned back to talk to Zuo Zimo. She accidentally bumped into someone.

Zuo Xiangning felt as if she had hit an iron plate. She took two steps back and fell towards the ground.

"Xiang——" Zuo Zimo hurriedly stepped forward to help Zuo Xiangning.

Another man's hands grabbed Zuo Xiangning's arm first and pulled her into his arms again.

Zuo Xiangning was startled and subconsciously hugged the man's waist.

Looking up at the man, he couldn't help but be stunned.

It turned out to be the man who borrowed her black cloak at Prince Qi's Mansion.
