【143】All according to your arrangement
"It was just an accident. Grandma, don't worry about it. Isn't your granddaughter fine?" Jiang Fugui smiled and patted Old Lady Jiang's hand to comfort her. "I'm fine!"
"Hmph, little naughty boy, if something really happens, it will be too late. Nannan, don't go out for the next few days. Stay in the yard, embroider, or read a storybook. If you need anything, just tell grandma. Later, grandma will ask Qingyan and Qingyun to bring something to your yard. Anyway, your little kitchen is already built, so you can prepare your own food."
Jiang Fugui sensed something fishy in Old Lady Jiang's words. Why did it sound like a disguised form of house arrest?
Before Jiang Fugui could ask, Old Lady Jiang had already told her her plans: "You were frightened today, so rest in the yard. Grandmother needs to take care of some things and may not have time to take care of you."
"Well, okay, the granddaughter will listen to the arrangements made by her grandmother."
Needless to say, Jiang Fugui had already roughly guessed that his grandmother was going to settle the score later, but he didn't know what she would start with?
After talking for a while, Old Lady Jiang asked indirectly about the identity of the owner of the black carriage, but Jiang Fugui insisted that he didn't know.
Seeing that Jiang Fugui seemed to be really clueless, Old Lady Jiang realized that she couldn't find out anything, so she let her go back to her own yard.
However, before leaving, Old Lady Jiang stuffed her with an inconspicuous dressing box.
Jiang Fugui guessed that just like last time, her grandmother had secretly slipped something into her hands.
It was difficult for Jiang Fugui to refuse her grandmother's kindness. Of course, she didn't want to refuse either. Naturally, the more money she had, the better.
As soon as they returned to Beili Garden, Jiang Fugui and Shantu had not even stepped into the courtyard gate when Shanying came up and pushed them around, looking in the direction of Xiluo Garden.
"Miss, Sister Shantu, didn't you two just come back from the old lady's place? Did you see that Jiang Luoyu on the way?"
Jiang Fugui and Shantu each leaned forward, turned their heads to look at Shanying, and waited for her to continue.
Shan Ying saw their bewildered expressions and asked again, "Really, you haven't met me? That shouldn't be the case!"
Jiang Fugui looked at the path leading to Xiluoyuan, then looked at Shanying: "What happened to her?"
Shan Ying pointed in the direction of the path they were heading towards and explained, "Just before you arrived at the courtyard, Jiang Luoyu from our courtyard was taken away by Madam Qingyun. She must have gone to the old lady's place."
Hearing this, Shantu raised his chin and said, "Really? We didn't run into her on the way back. I guess Mother Qingyun deliberately avoided everyone."
The second half of her sentence was directed to Jiang Fugui.
There are many winding paths in the Jiang Mansion, leading to the front and back yards and various courtyards. They have never walked on some of the paths, so naturally they don't know where they will lead.
Jiang Fugui nodded in agreement. She narrowed her eyes and said, "Grandmother doesn't want me to know, so we'll pretend not to know. If I'm not mistaken, Grandmother will use Jiang Luoyu's incident as a warning to Aunt and the others. In two days, each of you will go to a nanny you know well for tea and a chat."
Shantu and Shanying nodded to show that they understood. The news spread quickly among their subordinates.
What happened on the street outside today will inevitably be spread back to various places in the mansion, and Jiang Wei will certainly find a way to take advantage of the opportunity. In this way, with the intimidation of Old Lady Jiang, she will be restrained.
