Chapter 239 Onlookers
Jiang Jinhe sighed in her heart, deeply moved by her friend's thoughtfulness.
It was already afternoon after dinner. Song Wenqin went to Yuemanlou to help look after the store and said he would come to pick her up later.
Song Wenqin's words made her feel at ease, knowing that he would come back to see her on time.
After Jiang Jinhe sent the people out, he began to prepare.
She's making an appearance tonight and her makeup is crucial.
You can't be too ugly to avoid being looked down upon, but you can't reveal your true face to avoid getting into trouble.
In this case, image processing is crucial.
This kind of thing might be a little tricky for others, but it is not a problem for Jiang Jinhe.
Years of practice and skills have given her extraordinary confidence in this area.
Immediately begin a major image transformation.
The cosmetics on the table were neatly arranged, and each one carried her beautiful wishes.
The table was filled with skin care products, many of which she had recently bought from the mall.
These are the latest products, of excellent quality, and will allow her to complete this look with greater satisfaction.
With good tools and her skills, an hour later, a face that looked like usual but even more beautiful than usual appeared.
This face perfectly blends her features, but adds a touch of charming brilliance.
Jiang Jinhe felt quite satisfied with herself.
She looked brand new in the mirror, full of confidence and radiance, as if all her efforts were worth it.
The next step is to change clothes.
She sorted her clothes carefully and decided to change her black clothes into a bright red outfit.
Today Song Wenqin deliberately wore a pure black dress, so she decided to choose a red dress that was equally bright but with a strong color contrast.
This not only highlights your personality, but also makes you stand out.
Her hairstyle is still a simple yet elegant bun. This time, she chose to use an exquisite red jade hairpin to fix it, which complements the overall shape and makes her look gentle and powerful.
As time goes by and she lives in this world for longer and longer periods of time, Jiang Jinhe now has her own unique insights on how to dress and decorate herself.
So when it’s time to restyle her hair, whether it’s braiding or updoing it, she does it quickly and expertly.
Before long, a simple, elegant and perfect bun appeared before her eyes.
She had just prepared all this when she heard noise outside the door, first a familiar sound of footsteps - it was Song Wenqin coming back.
Immediately afterwards, the voices of two other people joined in, Jiang Yuannian and Qu Zhongyi.
However, in addition to these three people, one could vaguely hear two people following behind. Although they were wearing black clothes and looked very mysterious and even a little fierce, they did not enter the room with the others, but stopped outside.
Faced with this sudden change of scene, driven by curiosity, Jiang Jinhe finally couldn't help but ask.
"What on earth happened?"
At this moment, Song Wenqin was staring at Jiang Yuannian with a look of dissatisfaction on his face. It was obvious that he was quite dissatisfied with something.
He said in a bad tone:
"It's all because he was so casual. He told the prince that you wouldn't be attending the appointment tonight, so the prince sent someone to invite you."
After hearing this, Jiang Jinhe couldn't help but look at Jiang Yuannian in front of him in surprise, and suddenly realized something he had never noticed before - his third brother didn't seem to be such a smart person.
She questioned, "You did this on purpose, didn't you?"
Hearing his sister's doubts, Jiang Yuannian immediately laughed and explained, "Oh, sister, please don't look at your third brother that way, okay? In fact, everything I do is out of consideration for your best!"
However, this sentence obviously failed to convince Jiang Jinhe.
She snorted coldly and asked, "Oh? Then tell me, what's the best way?"
Seeing this, Jiang Yuannian's voice gradually became lower and his tone became more cautious.
"Sister, the actual situation isn't as simple as they say. There's been some frightening news circulating lately, which is why King Chen has specially assigned guards to ensure your safety."
"Don't beat around the bush, just say it."
Jiang Jinhe frowned, really couldn't imagine what scary thing would happen to her.
This uneasy premonition made her feel a little puzzled.
Qu Zhongyi beside him also said seriously: "Jinhe, I have heard about this matter before. I think we really need to be more vigilant."
The two people communicated with each other for a while and finally made this worrying matter clear.
Basically, it was a rumor that had been circulating recently: it was said that someone with bad intentions planned to stop Jiang Jinhe on the road and force her to finish the rest of the poem, and then use this method to embarrass King Chen at the upcoming song and dance party.
According to rumors, the person who wanted to stir up this trouble was the famous Ming Wang Murong Xue who came from the capital.
After learning this, Jiang Jinhe couldn't help but feel that this matter was simply as absurd as a fairy tale, with no logic at all. Instead, it seemed more like someone was spreading false statements behind the scenes in order to alienate the relationship between King Chen and Murong Xue.
But since this was their own internal matter, she, as an outsider, had no right to interfere.
As for King Chen, if he wants to send someone to protect me, then let him do it. It is better to have less trouble than more.
Just as she was about to go out, Jiang Jinhe suddenly remembered something. She called Song Wenqin into her bedroom, and then carefully groomed his eyebrows, trying to make his face look softer, less cold and unapproachable.
"You should tone down your usual aura a bit. Showing off too much will only draw attention."
"I understand. I'll do everything as you say."
In fact, the two had reached a consensus earlier: they must never reveal any secrets of the past to the outside world in the future. At the same time, once a suitable opportunity arises, they must leave this turbulent and complicated circle as soon as possible and live a peaceful and simple life of their own.
As soon as I walked out the door, I saw a very large carriage parked outside. There were a lot of people surrounding the carriage. Roughly estimated, there were at least dozens of people watching there.
Jiang Jinhe understood this very well, and she despised people like King Chen from the bottom of her heart.
To be honest, she was just an ordinary shop owner and didn't understand what King Chen was trying to do with such a big fuss.
If the two brothers really had a dispute and wanted to fight, they could just go ahead and do it. Why did they have to involve her and use her as cannon fodder in this fight?
Soon, the luxurious carriage drove towards Yuemanlou.
It was evening, when the lights were just coming on and the streets were bustling and lively.
