Chapter 442: Identity of the Cloaked Man

Hearing the footsteps getting closer, Jiang Youzhen was startled, thinking that they were coming towards the screen.

She looked around, and immediately used her light body skills to jump lightly, grabbed the whisk above her, and hid inside.

The whisk happened to be very big, completely hiding her figure.

At this time, a thin man wearing a black cloak and a black veil on his face walked in.

He still held an unsheathed long sword in his hand. He looked around behind the screen, then walked around the bedroom and bathroom without giving up. He looked up and put the sword back into the sheath after a while.

"Strange, am I overthinking? I clearly felt a faint breath just now." The cloaked man talked to himself with a hoarse voice.

Jiang Youzhen's eyes suddenly flickered. This was the hoarse man who was with Luo Dan just now.

At this time, she finally saw the other person's appearance, but it was a pity that this guy was wrapped up from head to toe, and his appearance was so shameful that she couldn't see his face at all.

Only after the cloaked man left did Jiang Youzhen get down from the whisk.

Fortunately, she was relatively light, and the whisk could bear her weight.

Jiang Youzhen quickly climbed over the courtyard wall, and when he passed Wenqingyuan, he found Manager Wei coming out of the yard with a serious expression.

She took a few quick steps to avoid Steward Wei and was about to go to her own room when a hand grabbed her arm.

"Where on earth have you been? Why have you been gone for so long?"

Jiang Youzhen was startled, turned around and saw that it was Tong Huaian, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"People scare people to death. Don't you know that, Brother Huai'an?"

"I see you are not afraid at all. Why are you barging in the manor? This is the backyard, outsiders are not allowed to come in. If I hadn't been unable to find you anywhere, I wouldn't have come in here."

Tong Huaian looked surprised, Jiang Youzhen was really brave.

"I got lost and happened to see them carrying the boy to this yard. I saw he was very hungry, so I followed them and fed him some water and snacks from the table. Then they came and I ran out."

The highest level of lying is to mix truth and lies and only tell part of it, then others will seldom suspect it.

Sure enough, Tong Huaian began to blame after hearing these words, but there was no doubt on his face.

"There are so many pitiful people in this world, and we can't help the whole world. Before helping the whole world, we still have to take care of ourselves first."

Tong Huaian watched Steward Wei lead his men past and said quickly, "Alright! Go back quickly! Junior Brother Wen is waiting anxiously."

As soon as Jiang Youzhen and Tong Huaian returned to the private room, Wen Ruyu came to greet them.

"I thought you two were missing. How did you take so long? I was planning to go out and look for you myself."

"I'm sorry! I just got lost. This village is too big."

Jiang Youzhen quickly apologized, saying that she had indeed been out for too long this time.

Walking to the table, "I feel a little hungry all of a sudden. Is this cake still edible?"

Jiang Youzhen took the opportunity to pick up the pastries to put the silver skewer back to its original place, but found that there were two more silver skewer in the plate for no reason.

She was startled and turned around to look at Tong Huaian and Wen Ruyu inconspicuously. But they looked normal and nothing could be seen.

Manager Wei didn't find any other wounds on the leopard. Although he was not giving up, at least he didn't lose the match, he just didn't make much money.

"Although it's a little strange, this is the only way. Look at Faner, he really has some skills, worthy of crawling out of a mountain of corpses. Let him fight a few more times. If he is lucky enough to survive, we can focus on training him. Anyway, we have his mother in our hands, so we don't have to worry about him not being obedient."

Manager Wei felt unhappy when he thought of his stubborn attitude.

But the master said that Faner still had some use. In fact, even if Faner lost today, Steward Wei would not let him die.

But I didn't expect that Fan'er really has some abilities, so it was indeed a wise move for the master to keep Fan'er.

"But he is very disobedient." Ah Cheng, the leader of the guards behind him, frowned.

"Didn't you say that Doctor Li has developed several new poisons? If you give those to his mother, who must take antidotes every month to temporarily suppress them, she won't have to worry about that kid being disobedient."

"Yes!" Ah Cheng agreed.

Jiang Youzhen sat in the room for a while. Just as he was about to go to see if Luodan had returned, he heard Xiaowu report that Luodan had arrived.

"Master Jiang, Master Wen. I will be holding a poetry gathering in a couple of days. I wonder if you two are free to come and attend?"

Luo Dan directly ignored Tong Huaian, apparently holding a grudge against him for what happened just now.

Jiang Youzhen didn't want to have anything to do with the other party before. Now that she knows that the other party has ill intentions towards the court, it is even more impossible for her to get close to such a person.

If you lose, you won't know how you died. Is it so easy to be a follower of the emperor? Do you think everyone is the founding emperor of the dynasty?

"I'm sorry! I plan to leave for the city tomorrow. My parents at home miss me."

Seeing that Jiang Youzhen refused without thinking, Tong Huaian looked at Luo Dan with a flash of sarcasm in his eyes, while Wen Ruyu breathed a sigh of relief.

He always felt that this Luodan was not a good person.

What kind of people are around Jiang Youzhen? None of them are normal people.

"I didn't say I would hold a poetry meeting in the provincial capital! It's in the provincial capital. It just so happens that you and Mr. Jiang are going back. It seems that we are destined to meet." Luo Dan smiled with the corners of his lips curved.

Uh... miscalculated! Jiang Youzhen indeed overlooked this point.

"So Young Master Luo Dan is going back too? If I have time, I will definitely ask those masters for advice."

It would be impolite to refuse at this time, so Jiang Youzhen didn't say anything definite and just said that he would go when he was free.

"Then I will send you two invitations after I return, and congratulate you both on your arrival!"

After Luo Dan finished speaking, he said goodbye. Jiang Youzhen was speechless. This guy was really thick-skinned.

"You should avoid associating with this kind of person. He has a bad reputation. If you are implicated by him, your ranking in the palace examination may be affected in the future." Tong Huaian snorted coldly.

Jiang Youzhen: I pretended not to know that you two were not getting along...

Sitting in the carriage on the way back, Jiang Youzhen suddenly asked, "Brother Huai'an, do you still remember Ke Zhenqiu?"

Tong Huaian was stunned. "Are you talking about Ke Zhenqiu, who ranked second in the college entrance examination last year? This person is quite mysterious, but I heard that his health is not good. He spends most of the year in bed sick. What happened?"

"I think I saw him in Qinghuazhuang just now." Jiang Youzhen said.

Tong Huaian immediately looked at Jiang Youzhen, his eyes full of inquiry.

"He is quite talented and has always been on par with Wen Ruyu. Since he passed the examination last year, it is normal for him to take part in the provincial examination this year. His adoptive parents are well-off, so perhaps he has other ways to come to Qinghua Manor."

"That's right! Then senior brother, please tell me about Ke Zhenqiu! I'm a little curious about him." Jiang Youzhen blinked his eyes, looking very interested.

"Why are you curious about him? You are not very familiar with him, right?" Tong Huaian narrowed his eyes slightly.
