Qin Shi Huang: Swordsmanship begins with picking up Xiao Meng

Chapter 119 Han Yu, Hu Meiren's Entrustment

Upon meeting Madam Hu, Hu Meiren and Nongyu's family went to a nearby pavilion to chat about everyday matters.

"Brother Han, have you gained anything?"

Jiang Yu asked with a smile.

"No."

Han Fei shook his head in disappointment.

Because Jiang Yu took Madam Hu away beforehand, Madam Hu did not witness Liu Yi being killed by the vulture as in the anime. Therefore, Han Fei could not obtain any useful information from Madam Hu's questioning.

Han Fei, at his wit's end, noticed Jiang Yu watching the spectacle and quickly gestured to Zhang Liang to help him pull Jiang Yu aside, saying:

"Brother Jiang, I'm in deep trouble. Please help me out."

Han Fei, who was extremely adept at reading people, could naturally tell that Jiang Yu knew something. If Jiang Yu was willing to help, Han Fei would naturally be happy to save himself some effort.

"A disaster is coming?"

Jiang Yu pretended not to understand.

"Mr. Jiang."

At Han Fei's prompting, Zhang Liang had no choice but to speak:
"Liu Yi was Ji Wuye's confidant, so the investigation into Liu Yi's death should not have fallen into the hands of outsiders. However, Ji Wuye has acted contrary to his usual behavior and strongly recommended Brother Han to preside over the trial. This matter is obviously unusual."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yu shook her head and said:
"Don't worry, you two. You don't need my help with this. Someone has already gone to help you."

The fact that Zilan Pavilion, which he himself was in charge of, was attacked was something that Wei Zhuang, with his pride and arrogance, could not tolerate.

The attack on Zilan Pavilion and Liu Yi's death were committed by the same person, so when Wei Zhuang investigated, he was ultimately helping Han Fei.

"Is someone already helping us?"

Upon hearing this, Han Fei and Zhang Liang immediately thought of Wei Zhuang.

"Hey, you stinky older brother, Xiao Liangzi!"

Suddenly, a tall shadow seemed to loom over the three of them, causing Han Fei and Zhang Liang to feel a chill run down their spines.

Jiang Yu, on the other hand, remained aloof from the situation, and with a few quick movements, she slipped away from the encirclement of Han Fei and Zhang Liang and retreated to the side, watching the show with her arms crossed.

However, in a fleeting glance, Jiang Yu saw a handsome young man in brocade robes, with a refined and elegant demeanor, walking towards them.

Honglian, furious, glared at Han Fei and Zhang Liang and said:

"I said I came here to watch the show, but you guys keep investigating this case endlessly, don't you?"

What a nuisance! I should have known better than to bring this stinky older brother.

Han Fei and Zhang Liang trembled under Hong Lian's fierce power, repeatedly forcing smiles and trying to please her.

"Hahaha, it's all done, all done..."

"You have finished investigating your case, but you have also ruined my mood."

At this moment, Honglian was clearly not so easy to coax.

Just as Han Fei and Zhang Liang were at a loss for what to do.

"Laojiu!"

The young man in brocade robes that Jiang Yu had seen earlier came to the group of people who were playing around.

Upon encountering their saviors, Han Fei and Zhang Liang, they quickly greeted the young man in brocade robes:

"Hello, Fourth Brother!"

"Fourth Young Master!"

The person who came was none other than the Fourth Young Master Han Yu, who was here to escort Lady Hu to the play.

"Honglian is here too."

Seeing Han Yu take the initiative to greet her, Honglian had no choice but to stop her tantrum and reluctantly greet him in return.
"Hello, Fourth Brother!" Upon hearing this "Hello, Fourth Brother," Han Yu couldn't help but feel a black line appear on his forehead, because it sounded more like "Dead Brother" to him.

However, Han Yu was soon drawn to Zhang Liang, who was standing to the side. As the grandson of Prime Minister Zhang Kaidi, Zhang Liang was someone Han Yu had always wanted to recruit.

However, they had not succeeded until now, and it was Han Fei, who had just returned from abroad, who succeeded.

Seeing Han Yu's gaze fall on his son Zifang, Han Fei quickly stepped forward and stood between the two. Zifang was Han Fei's only obedient top talent at the moment.

Although Brother Jiang and Brother Wei Zhuang are equally good, one is like a beauty like Hu Meiren who likes to "watch the show," while the other is aloof and cold, making it difficult to get them to do things.

"Ninth Brother, you acted too quickly."

Han Yu had no choice but to give Han Fei a nudge, then turned his gaze to Jiang Yu beside him and bowed respectfully.
"Han Yu greets Mr. Jiang!"

It seems that Han Yu also knew some of the rumors. Apart from a very few who were extremely stupid, none of these royal princes were easy to deal with.

"I am not worthy of being addressed as 'sir' by the Fourth Young Master."

Jiang Yu returned the greeting, but her words conveyed a sense of distance, clearly indicating that she did not want to have much interaction with Han Yu, as he was already busy enough.

Compared to Zhang Liang, Han Fei was not worried about Jiang Yu, because through their interactions over the past few days, Han Fei knew that Jiang Yu, though seemingly easygoing, was actually even more arrogant than Wei Zhuang.

Therefore, Han Fei had a premonition that he did not believe anyone in the world could recruit Jiang Yu.

"Fourth Young Master, Ninth Young Master!"

Upon seeing Han Yu arrive, Hu Meiren, who knew how to handle things, couldn't leave him hanging, so she ended her conversation with her sister and niece and came over.

A group of people were chatting about this and that.

Han Fei, Han Yu, and Hu Meiren could be considered family in terms of their relationship, but judging from their conversation, Jiang Yu couldn't see a trace of familial affection.

Therefore, Honglian hated this kind of conversation atmosphere the most, and too lazy to pay attention to the three of them, she ran over to play with Jiang Yu.

At the end!
Due to various reasons, everyone found it unbearable to watch the show tonight, and they all left.

"Son!"

However, before leaving, Hu Meiren made a special trip to find Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu stopped and asked:
"Is there anything else, Lady Hu?"

“Young master, my sister has suffered for more than ten years following Liu Yi, and my niece is even more pitiful. You should know this better than I do.”

Looking at Madam Hu and Nongyu, who were obediently following Jiang Yu, Lady Hu finally said:
"Therefore, I beg you to treat them well in the future. If you ever need my help, please don't hesitate to ask."

After learning about the situation from Madam Hu, Hu Meiren realized that Jiang Yu was extraordinary. The two identities of Jiang Yu that Honglian had told her earlier, swordsman and actor, were actually the least noteworthy.

Therefore, Hu Meiren could only try her best to impress Jiang Yu with her status as a beauty in the harem. Although her status as a beauty was not much, otherwise Liu Yi would not have dared to bully her sister all the time.

"Don't worry, Miss Hu, I, Jiang Yu, have no interest in bullying people for no reason."

Jiang Yu replied.

"Thank you very much, sir."

Hu Meiren bowed in thanks again, then turned and left.

"Sister, Xiaoyu, I'm going back to the palace now. I'll visit you again when I have time."

"Okay, take care, little sister/aunt!"

Nongyu and Madam Hu responded, and then stood quietly behind Jiang Yu.

When they were out and about, the two women recognized the huge difference in status between themselves and Jiang Yu, so they took the initiative to assume the role of maids, behaving themselves properly and not speaking unless absolutely necessary.

"Let's go back too."

Jiang Yu looked up at the sky one last time. Hmm, I'm going home quite early tonight. I wonder if Yan Lingji has returned yet.

After all, the lady had already reminded us to eat what was in our bowls first.
