Revenge of the War General's Daughter
PITFALLS

On the trip this time, Jiang Xia Yan was only accompanied by Lin who helped him take care of all his personal needs.

And the Yinhang he had inserted among the bodyguards assigned to escort the Jiang family to the Guandong temple.

“ Incense what is this ?...”, asked Lin curiously.

He immediately took some sticks of incense on the table while kissing it many times – times.

“ I don't think this temple is as bad as I imagined it to be. But somehow I still feel there is something strange ?..”, muttered Lin while observing the state of the young lady's room.

Trying to find what was strange that made him feel very uneasy since he had arrived there.

Looking at the incense being held by his personal servant, Jiang Xia Yan's forehead creased quite deeply.

She immediately took the incense held by Lin and kissed him. Jiang Xia Yan's body immediately stiffened after smelling the scent of the incense.

“ It...”, her inner being surprised.

Jiang Xia Yan certainly knew very well what incense he was holding. He began to circulate his eyes all over the place.

As expected, the incense can be seen almost in all areas of the room. Arrived – arrived the corner of his lips lifted and he began to chuckle.

“ It turns out they were right – has really prepared everything very well...”, he said with a cynical smile on his face.

From the very beginning Jiang Xia Yan had already felt that there was something wrong with this Guandong temple. The better the service here he feels the higher the danger that lurks him.

If only Jiang Xia Yan had not been curious about this kind of scent while in the medicinal shop, perhaps tonight he would have been trapped.

“ Young miss, is there something wrong with this incense ?...”, asked Lin anxiously.

“ That is not at all a good thing..”, said Jiang Xia Yan sharply.

Lin was very surprised when he saw the young lady break the incense in her hand into small pieces.

“ Do I have to get rid of all these incense sticks ?...”, said Lin with an anxious look.

“ No need...collect only. There will be a time when we can use all of that.”, Jiang Xia Yan replied sharply.

Jiang Xia Yan stared at everything gathered by Lin cynically. He was just as unwilling as if his second aunt would think things through in such great detail.

Even the incense used was of very good quality and expensive. So, Jiang Xia Yan should not waste – save all the sacrifices made by his second aunt just like that.

In a room not far from where Jiang Xia Yan was, Qianyi sat on the sofa and faced an old woman who was bowing before him.

“ You know what the consequences of this plan are. If you succeed, then you will get a big profit. But, if it fails.you know what will wait for you instead..”, Qianyi said intimidatedly.

Qianyi's sharp gaze looked extremely frightening to the old woman before him. She frothy as best she could to make the second mistress of Jiang feel satisfied.

“ Second name, rest assured...”.

“ All the things handled by this old lady are always perfect without the slightest mistake..”.

“ This old lady really hopes that all the plans of the second mistress can go very smoothly tonight..”, said Gui Momo fawning.

Qianyi's expression began to soften as soon as she heard the sweet word that came out from Gui Momo's lips which for some time had been her person.

“ I will trust you because of your closeness with the third young miss...”, Qianyi said happily.

But, as soon as Gui Momo got a bag of money the guilt that had just alighted in his heart immediately faded and a bright smile on his face.

“ This old lady will definitely make the second nyoya feel satisfied..”, Gui Momo said before bowing respectfully and leaving.

In the evening, the sky looked much darker than usual and even a small drizzle began to descend to wet the earth.

Jiang Xia Yan realized if it rained all night then he was not sure if tomorrow they could return to the capital considering the streets must be very muddy and difficult for a horse carriage to pass through.

And most likely, they will stay one more night inside this Guandong temple until the road conditions improve and can be traversed by horse carriages.

Jiang Xia Yan was seen sitting playing the chessboard before him. Based on the memory and ability of the owner of the body, the chess he played was war chess.

He often plays this chess to make a strategy, by putting – opponents who will be eliminated into the chess pieces in his hands.

Soon, the door opened and an old woman came inside carrying a tray of food for her.

“ Third young miss, this old maid brought you temple cuisine. Vegetarian cuisine, but it's delicious. Even the oldest young lady and the second young lady also praised him..”, said Gui Momo sweetly.

“ Just put it there...”, said Jiang Xia Yan in a flat and cold tone.

“ Would be better if eaten while hot. If it is cold, this food will be unpleasant..”, said Gui Momo a little forcing.

“ Why momo looks so anxious. The young miss said she would eat it later, so don't keep forcing her..”, Lin said reprimandingly.

Gui Momo felt very upset by Lin's remark to him. But seeing that her young lady was no longer defending her like she used to, the old lady could only swallow her anger and disappointment.

“ Third young miss, the night is getting darker and the weather is also getting colder . It would be nice, before going to bed later the third young lady lit incense so that she could sleep well so that tomorrow morning could pray for the master and the mistress with solemn’...”, said Gui Momo.

“ Thank you very much...momo can go now...”, said Jiang Xia Yan still in a flat tone without taking his eyes off the chessboard he was playing.

Actually, Gui Momo still wanted to stay and make sure that Jiang Xia Yan ate the food he had brought earlier.

But seeing her young lady was very cold, she immediately walked back and out of the room, but she did not leave instead to bring her ears closer to the window.

Jiang Xia Yan who realized this immediately flirted with Lin to act. Fortunately, his personal servant was quite sensitive and acted with him.

“ Young lady, the food has started to cool..”, Lin said as he brought the bowl of food that Gui Momo had brought to Jiang Xia Yan.

“ Prepare table...”, Jiang Xia Yan orders flat.

Soon the sound of chopsticks clashing with bowls began to be heard, making Gui Momo smile with satisfaction.

“ Do you think this food is delicious ?...”, asked Lin.

“ Not bad...”, said Jiang Xia Yan as he continued to play chopsticks inside the bowl.

At the time of hearing the cutlery cleaned, Gui Momo felt very relieved. At least his task tonight could be completed smoothly without any obstacles.

“ I'm tired and want to rest now. Please turn on the dupe...”, Jiang Xia Yan ordered before the room candle started to turn off.

Seeing that Jiang Xia Yan's room was getting dark, Gui Momo stepped away and in her heart she felt very satisfied.

“ Young miss should not blame this old servant for being cruel. The second mistress wants to deal with you, and there will be no one who can stop her.”, the inner Gui Momo is encouraging.

Gui Momo did not realize that from now on all the movements of – his movements had been watched by a pair of eyes that were very angry with his actions.
