She became rich after being dressed as a group pet

Chapter 685 The Mysterious Man in the Bamboo Forest

When she returned to her room, Mrs. Jiang was still a little dizzy.

Pulling Jiang Zhimian and asking, "Tell me, if I go back and tell the old ladies next door that the imperial concubine has to call me aunt, will they believe me?"

"If you know that I am the princess and your grandson-in-law is a general, you will definitely believe me." Jiang Zhimian replied honestly.

After a pause, he told his grandma, "Grandma, Concubine Gao is just joking, you must not take it seriously, don't really see Concubine Gao call her niece or something, you will be punished."

Concubine Gao can say these words, but grandma cannot.

The rules in the palace do not distinguish between people, even if it is the queen, if she says something wrong, she may be thrown into the cold palace.

So, it’s enough to pass the dry addiction.

Hearing this, Mrs. Jiang was rather disappointed, "It was a joke, but I thought it was true. I thought it would be the Chinese New Year, and how much lucky money would be suitable for Concubine Gao."

Now it seems that there is no need for this at all.

Jiang Zhimian reassured her, "You can give me this lucky money, I don't think it's too much, and besides, there is my grandson-in-law, so give me what I gave him."

"Okay, okay, I'll give it to you." Mrs. Jiang always spoiled her, "I'll give you whatever lucky money our baby Mianmian wants, grandma!"

After laughing and laughing, it was already late at night, and the two of them went to bed.

And Jiang Zhimian couldn't sleep a little bit, thinking about going for a walk in the manor again.

Near such hot springs, there will be some heat-resistant plants growing, and most of them have medicinal value.

As a doctor, it is somewhat uncomfortable to see that herbs are no longer picked.

After walking around the hot spring pool, Jiang Zhimian had already picked a lot of herbs.

Satisfied, he raised his head, dumbfounded.

I was so busy picking herbs just now that I didn't pay attention to where I was going.

Now I am standing next to a small hot spring in a bamboo forest. Looking around, I can't see any buildings at all. Only the cold moonlight seeps down through the gaps in the bamboo leaves, barely illuminating it.

Depressed, actually got lost in the middle of the night.

Jiang Zhimian could only try to look up, looking for the Big Dipper.

She remembered that when she went up the mountain, the groom said that the hot spring villa was built on the north side of this mountain.

So if you walk in the direction of the Big Dipper, you should be able to walk back to the villa.

Just as he was thinking, there was the sound of splashing water not far away, as if someone was taking a bath.

I'll go, is there still someone taking a hot spring at night?

Recalling the last time I saw someone taking a hot spring in the middle of the night, I met Chi Mohan on the back mountain of Jiangjia Village.

And this time, it won't be Chi Mohan again, right?

Jiang Zhimian walked forward with curiosity.

I thought that even if it wasn't Chi Mohan, he could still ask for directions.

It must be someone who lives here, otherwise who would be so confident and bold to soak in the hot springs in the bamboo forest at night.

When he got closer, he saw a man with black hair and a shawl facing away from him in a white mist. He was pouring water on his body with a ladle made of jade.

And that's how the splashing water sound just now came from.

Jiang Zhimian didn't dare to get too close, lest the other party feel offended.

He asked from a distance, "Excuse me, how do I get back to the villa from here?"

The man stopped abruptly.

After being silent for a while, he turned his head and looked at Jiang Zhimian through the mist.

The fog was so thick that Jiang Zhimian couldn't see his appearance clearly, only his eyes were shining like stars.

"Mistress Nanzhao." The man smiled softly.

The voice was a little soft, but it was still recognizable as a man's voice.

Jiang Zhimian didn't know him, but the other party obviously knew him.

I could only bite the bullet and nod, "Yes, I don't know if your Excellency is..."

While speaking, he quietly took out a bottle of powder from his sleeve to guard against the other party.

But the man obviously had no intention of approaching.

After being silent for a while, he said, "Did you see the stone road on your left? Go to the end and you will see the villa."

As for Jiang Zhimian's question about who he was, he didn't answer.

Jiang Zhimian was about to ask again, but the man turned around again and continued to pour water on his body.

Obviously, he didn't intend to pay any more attention to Jiang Zhimian.

Jiang Zhimian was still a little nervous when he met such a person at night.

Looking to the left, there is indeed a stone road, and judging by the smoothness of the stone, people often walk on it.

Should be the right way.

After saying thanks, he left quickly.

Turning around along the stone road, after walking out of the bamboo forest, I saw the back wall of the villa.

Jiang Zhimian breathed a sigh of relief, and subconsciously glanced at the bamboo forest far behind him.

Because the distance was too far, the bamboo forest was dark black, and there was a rustling sound when the wind blew, as if some monster was hiding.

Who is that man?

Confused, Jiang Zhimian walked along the wall, and soon found a side door, and returned to the villa.

Not long after walking in, I heard Chi Mohan's doubtful voice, "Zhimian, why are you here?"

Jiang Zhimian turned his head away, also surprised, "Why are you here?"

"I live in this courtyard." Chi Mohan replied.

When they came to Hot Spring Villa, men and women lived separately, and the courtyard that Chi Mohan was assigned to happened to be not far from the side entrance.

He was watching the moon in the yard when he saw Jiang Zhimian coming in through the side door.

Therefore, with the present scene.

Jiang Zhimian was embarrassed, "I went out to pick herbs just now, who knew that I strayed into the bamboo forest by mistake, and then came in through the side door."

After a pause, he asked Chi Mohan again, "Do you know who else is coming to the hot spring besides us today?"

Chi Mohan frowned, "I've never heard of it, what's the matter, did something happen?"

"It's not a big deal. I just met someone in the bamboo forest. His eyesight is very good and he can recognize me even in the smog, but he won't tell me who he is, so I'm a little curious." Jiang Zhimian replied truthfully .

In a real sense, that man was just a guide who didn't want to give his name.

Don't be too surprised.

It's just that the voice is too soft, so I can't help but want to know more.

Chi Mohan had no idea, "If you want to know, I'll go to the bamboo forest and have a look."

"No need," Jiang Zhimian pulled him back immediately, "There's no need for that, that person doesn't seem hostile, didn't he show me the way? It's better not to bother him in the hot spring."

Jiang Zhimian only regarded him as an ordinary person and didn't care.

Seeing this, Chi Mohan gave up.

Stretching out his hand to rub the broken hair on Jiang Zhimian's forehead, his voice was very gentle, "Let's go, I'll take you back to the yard, you should rest."
