Chapter 576 Miss Jiang, Please
Chapter 576 Miss Jiang, Please
The sun was shining brightly outside the Qingshi Temple in May. Outside the carriage, there was lush greenery, birds singing and flowers blooming. However, Jiang Yan had no intention of appreciating the scenery. She stuck her head out of the carriage window and searched everywhere for Mrs. Jiang's whereabouts.
Ling Ling stuck her head out of the car window to search the other side.
The woman driving the car in front was swinging the reins, making a whistling sound.
"mother!"
Jiang Yan searched and called out, but there was no response from Mrs. Jiang. The sun made her face red and sweat kept dripping down. She didn't bother to wipe it off, but just kept searching around with her eyes.
Qingshi Temple is not remote. In addition to the two young ladies from the Jiang and Su families living there, people from Beijing also come here to burn incense and pray.
Whenever she saw a carriage coming up the mountain, Jiang Yan would ask if anyone had seen her mother, but everyone passing by would shake their heads.
Until the carriage reached the foot of the mountain, nothing was found.
Madam Jiang and Nanny Liu did not use a carriage. It would take half an hour to walk there, so Madam Jiang would definitely not use a carriage.
Thinking of this, Ling Ling told Jiang Yan her thoughts, "Maybe the Madam is still in the mountain, and Su Nanxing wants to deliberately get us away."
Jiang Yan instantly came to her senses after hearing Ling Ling's words. Su Nanxing said she saw her mother going down the mountain, but if her mother went down the mountain, it was impossible for her to go without other maids and servants, and it was impossible for her to go without a carriage and tell anyone.
They were fooled!
"Quick, go back to the mountain!"
Jiang Yan gave a few instructions to the woman driving the carriage.
"Yes, miss." The old woman responded and tightened the reins to turn the carriage around.
At this moment, a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds rang out, and Jiang Yan saw a dozen men in black riding horses coming from another path. Jiang Yan suddenly panicked and felt a bad feeling.
"Mammy, let's go!" Jiang Yan shouted, her voice beginning to tremble.
However, no matter how fast the carriage was, it was not as agile as the horses. While he was speaking, the men in black had already ridden over and surrounded the carriage.
Jiang Yan had never seen so many men in black before. She was so scared that she retracted her head into the carriage and hugged Ling Ling.
Outside the carriage, Mammy shouted, "Who are you? What do you want?"
The voice of the man in black came from outside, cold and commanding, "Everyone in the carriage, come with us."
"What...what did you do to my mother?" The woman's trembling voice came from the carriage. It was obvious that she was too scared to speak normally.
The man in black sneered, "What about her? It depends on whether you listen to her or not!"
At this point, Jiang Yan already understood that her mother must be in their hands, and only if she went there herself would her mother be safe.
"Okay, I will go with you. You must let my mother go now... I will only get off this carriage when I see that she is safe and sound."
Outside the carriage, the man in black could clearly hear Jiang Yan swallowing out of fear.
"This is not up to you!" The man in black said in a tone that brooked no argument. "Don't dawdle!"
As he spoke, he had already drawn the sword from his waist. The sound of the sword being unsheathed made the heartbeat in the carriage reach its peak.
Ling Ling came out of the carriage and asked in a trembling voice, "If I go with you, can I see my mother?"
The leading man in black rode up to the front of the carriage, looked at her and said, "Of course, if you just follow us, you can see Madam Jiang."
He knew who the kidnapper was, but still dared to do it. It seems that the kidnapper is not an ordinary person.
"Okay, I'll go with you and let them go."
Ling Ling was about to jump off the carriage when she finished speaking. At this moment, with a "swish" sound, a long sword pierced Ling Ling's chest and was then quickly pulled out.
"what……"
The nanny driving the coach saw a murder scene for the first time. When Ling Ling's blood splashed on her face, she screamed in fear and fainted.
Jiang Yan heard the nanny's cry, followed by the unusual sound of something heavy falling to the ground. She lifted the curtain of the car and saw a pool of red blood.
Her pupils dilated and her body stiffened. When she saw the bloody sword of the man in black, her whole body began to tremble.
Jiang Yan didn't know what happened to Ling Ling. A bad premonition arose in her heart. Although she was afraid, she still stiffened her neck to look at Ling Ling under the carriage.
Under the carriage, Ling Ling, wearing a white Taoist robe with a bright red tint, was lying on the ground with his eyes closed, showing no sign of life.
"Ling'er!" She screamed in shock, fell into the carriage, and continued to call Ling Ling's name.
The man in black seemed to have run out of patience and snorted coldly, "We have seen Miss Jiang's portrait. Since Miss Jiang wanted to use a counterfeit to impersonate me, she should have expected the consequences!"
After saying that, he waved his hand and ordered his men, "Take it away!"
One of them jumped onto the carriage, threw the reins, followed a group of people, and took Jiang Yan away.
*
Jiang Yan heard the sound again, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and she had arrived at an unknown courtyard.
It looked like a villa on an unknown hilltop, with a blue brick and tile house, rockery and ponds in the yard, pavilions, flowers and plants.
"Miss Jiang, please come in!" The leading black man urged her to come down impatiently.
Jiang Yan was still in shock, her legs completely weakened. She crawled out of the carriage and glared at the man in black fiercely, "Where's my mother?"
The man in black said coldly, "Mrs. Jiang is where she should be. Let's go. If you want her to be safe, you must also stay where you should be!"
After saying that, he grabbed Jiang Yan's waist without saying anything and led her to the inner courtyard.
They had no intention of letting her see her mother from the beginning. They just wanted to threaten her with her mother and bring her here.
Looking at the unfamiliar place, Jiang Yan finally felt truly scared.
"let me go!"
She struggled desperately, tearing the man in black's arms and hitting him, but the man held her arms and did not move.
"Why did you kidnap me?"
"My father is the Minister of Revenue, the richest man in all of Daning. If you kidnap me, you'll lose your head!"
"let me go!"
Jiang Yan roared and screamed desperately.
The man in black acted as if he didn't hear anything. He took Jiang Yan straight to a room in the inner courtyard, pushed the door open, and threw her onto the bed.
Seeing the iron chains on the two pillars of the bed, Jiang Yan trembled all over, struggling and crying, begging the man in black.
"let me go!"
"Please, let me go!"
"I'll give you whatever amount of money you want!"
The man in black was unmoved and held Jiang Yan's wrist tightly, then locked the iron chain tightly around Jiang Yan's wrist.
"Ah! Let me go!"
"Let me go!"
Jiang Yan was terrified to the extreme, curled up in the corner of the bed and screamed.
The man in black stood by the window and said coldly, "Don't waste your energy. There's no one around here. No one will come here!"
After saying that, he left the room without looking back and closed the door.
Seeing the man in black leave, Jiang Yan sat down at the foot of the bed with her knees hugged, and quickly looked around the room. Seeing that there was no one there, she relaxed her guard a little.
Despite her fear, she still wanted to leave.
Ignoring the tears on her face, she began to remove the chains from her wrists.
I tried prying with the hairpin, pulling and tugging, and everything in between, but there was no trace of the chain on my wrist.
At this moment, there was a "bang" and the door was kicked open with great force.
A malicious laugh sounded, "Miss Jiang, long time no see!"
