Quick Transmigration: She's a Heartbreaker: Ch 103, The Imposter Noble Lady Jiang Xun's eyes widened as she turned her head in surprise and caught sight of Shen Xi Tang's bright eyes. In a moment of lapse, she was attracted by his gaze. "You! Why are you here?" Jiang Xun looked around, flustered, "Where did you come in?" Shen Xi Tang smiled, but didn't answer her. Seeing her delicate feminine face, his heart became restless. He didn't expect to see the beauty of a beauty bathing, it was truly an unexpected joy. His eyes were not evasive and even very open. Jiang Xun glanced down. Fortunately, her body was completely immersed in the water and there were many petals covering her. However, despite this, Jiang Xun was still unhappy. With a cold expression, she said, " Does General Shen have any urgent matters for coming this late at night?" "Why? I can't come to you if there is nothing important? Young Miss has become so cold after only a few hours." Jiang Xun was instantly retorted speechless. She then paused before saying, "No, it's just that it's so late. It's really not proper for General Shen to come here uninvited." "I am a martial artist, so naturally I don't understand those etiquettes and understand what is appropriate." His speech was neither hurried nor slow. The corners of his lips kept rising, "I just want to see you, so I came." His eyes were a torch, as hot as the noon sun, which made people’s body temperature rise. Jiang Xun froze and turned her head in a somewhat embarrassed manner. Her snow-white neck formed an elegant arc, her eyes flickering and she lightly bit her red lips. When Shen Xi Tang saw it, he felt a rush of heat gathering under his dantian, which caused his gaze to become even hotter. "General Shen came from a noble background and is the most famous talented man in the capital, the best of all nobles, how can he be a mere martial artist? If this was said outside, then that would be unbelievable." Jiang Xun's voice was low and soft. Although there was an underlying meaning in the words, Shen Xi Tang arched his eyebrows as if she had complimented himself. Jiang Xun heard his low laughter, causing her ears to turn red and revealing her thoughts. Shen Xi Tang was overjoyed when he saw it. He suddenly brought up, "Have you mentioned to your grandmother that I want to marry you?" Jiang Xun froze and said in a low voice, "No." "Why not?" Shen Xi Tang looked at her. Jiang Xun opened her mouth, wanting to say something but was hesitant. "What? Are you embarrassed to bring it up?" Shen Xi Tang smiled faintly with a relaxed expression. Jiang Xun shook her head hesitantly, "General Shen's words today, This Girl only treated it as a whim. Perhaps after a few days, you may change your mind." Shen Xi Tang’s face quickly sank. He looked at her quite seriously, "I am no longer joking with you, the words I said always count." Jiang Xun lowered her head and realized that the water was already cold. If she stayed in the water, she’s afraid she might catch a cold. She sighed, "Can General Shen move away for a bit to let me get up and put on my clothes?" Shen Xi Tang fixedly looked at her for a while, then turned around and walked around behind the screen. Looking at the screen, Jiang Xun could clearly see that tall and sturdy figure, presumably she could also be seen from the other side. She pursed her mouth with an imperceptible smile and slowly stood up from the water. When the sound of water sounded, Shen Xi Tang peered sideways and couldn't bear to blink again. A silhouette was shown on the screen with a slender waist and hips. The slender petite figure moved gracefully slow. Each and every move was alluring. Jiang Xun took a cloth to dry her body and put on her clothes in a flustered manner. After checking in the mirror that she was properly dressed, she whispered, "I'm done, you can come out." The moment she finished her words, she was pulled into a hot embrace. "You! General Shen?" Jiang Xun exclaimed. "Hush." Shen Xi Tang put his finger on her lips and whispered in her ear, "You’ll be heard. If someone comes in to see me, what would you say?" Jiang Xun was a little frustrated, "Please have some respect, General Shen, there’s differences between men and women… …" Before she could finish her words, Shen Xi Tang's lips suddenly blocked her mouth and greedily kissed with his tongue around hers. He didn’t care about Jiang Xun's hand pushing against his chest. That little strength of hers was like a tickle to him without the slightest deterrent. Jiang Xun was so weakened by the kiss that her legs fell soft. She could only painfully smack her hands on his chest and glared at him with big eyes. She had to admit that Shen Xi Tang's appearance was excellent. After staring at it for a long time, people’s ears would redden and their heartbeat would speed up. As Jiang Xun was secretly admiring him, she didn't notice that his hand had slipped through the waist slit of her clothes. Shen Xi Tang's palm was cocooned. The rough hands touching her delicate skin made Jiang Xun feel a little uncomfortable. Yet, looking at his expression, he obviously enjoyed it very much. Jiang Xun pursed her mouth and made a clear nasal sound. Shen Xi Tang was taken back. Grinning, he revealed pearl-white teeth that dazzled Jiang Xun's eyes. He gently pecked her lips and nose twice, "Be obedient, wait for me to marry you and don't let other men take advantage of you." Just as Jiang Xun was about to refute, he stretched out his hand to gently cover her mouth, "Don't say anything I don't like, be careful I might punish you." Jiang Xun looked at him blankly, a little dazed. "Now this appearance is cute. Leave that cold aloof look to others. In front of me, I still like your blushing and shy appearances the most." Shen Xi Tang chuckled and squeezed her nose. Suddenly, there were footsteps. Ying Qiao called out, "Young Miss, I'll come in and heat water for you." Jiang Xun quickly stopped her, "No, don't come in." Ying Qiao was holding a pot of hot water. Hearing Jiang Xun's words, she paused and asked in doubt, "Young Miss, what's the matter?" "It's nothing, I’ve already washed it. You don't need to come in, go rest." Ying Qiao hesitated, "Then... … then alright, just call me if you have anything and I'll be outside." "En." Jiang Xun replied. She let out a sigh of relief. Just now she heard the footsteps and pushed Shen Xi Tang away to hide him, but he moved so quickly that she didn't notice where he was hiding. "You... … Are you still there?" Jiang Xun took a few steps forward and called in a low voice. She waited for a long time, but saw no one. Glancing at the window again, she didn’t know when it was closed. Jiang Xun raised her eyebrows. It seemed that he had already left. She smiled and then yawned leisurely. Stretching out her hand to tidy up the messed up hair underneath, she touched her lips again, her eyes a little excited. ... The next day, Old Madame Yan led Jiang Xun to the Shen Residence to thank them. When she went outside the gate of Shen Mansion, she had the servants go forward and explain to the guards who guarded the gate. The steward of Shen Residence quickly came out and said that Shen Xi Tang went to the palace early in the morning. Therefore, Old Madame Yan had no choice but to leave the gift to the steward, saying she would come again next time. Without seeing Shen Xi Tang, Old Madame Yan brought Jiang Xun back home. After another two more days, Old Madame Yan brought Jiang Xun to a temple on the outskirts of the city to request for a divination stick to reciprocate her wish. On the way back, Jiang Xun was sitting in the carriage with Old Madame Yan when they suddenly heard a piercing horse neigh. Before the two of them could react, they felt the carriage fall backwards. Everything inside the compartment was scattered on the ground. The two were also squeezed into the corner and bumped into each other. Then they heard the screams of their maids as well as the coachmen as the carriage suddenly lurched forward. Old Madame Yan was so scared that her soul almost fell out. She grabbed Jiang Xun's hand and asked, "What happened?." Jiang Xun was prepared at any time, but still made a panicked appearance and hugged Old Madame Yan. She tremblingly stretched out her hand to open the curtain. The horse pulling the cart looked like it was out of control, while the pedestrians on the road evaded in panic. "This… … what's going on?" Old Madame Yan was pale, her voice trembling. "It seems like the horse was frightened into knocking off the coachman and took us all the way to here." Jiang Xun's voice couldn't hide her fear. "Then… …what can we do about this?" Old Madame Yan asked. "It looks like we’ll have to wait for it to stop by itself.. ...." Jiang Xun's eyes flashed lightly. After coming back yesterday, she hasn’t seen Cen Bi. Ying Qiao said she went to the storeroom for needlework, but normally Cen Bi never did these things. Since then, she kept an eye on her and sent someone to secretly follow her. Sure enough, it was discovered that she went to the stables in the residence. Her suddenly making a move must be because of someone's instigation. The person behind her could be guessed without even thinking. Moreover, she could also guess how that person persuaded Cen Bi; how she would let go of the past and once the incident was revealed, she would plead to forgive her and let her continue to wait by her side. Or else once the incident was revealed, she would definitely be sent to the slave market... … or something along those lines. However, although Jiang Xun noticed her little movement, she didn't expose it. Otherwise, the other party might make another plan if the first didn’t work. There will always be times when she can't defend against it. It's better to prepare in advance and wait to see what they want to do. Then she’ll deflect the scheme one by one as she encounters them. The carriage galloped all the way and the road in the outskirts wasn’t smooth, so Old Madame Yan’s chest was tightening and became short of breath due to the bumps. Clutching her chest, her expression appeared ugly. Jiang Xun asked in worry, "Grandmother, are you okay?" Old Madame Yan helplessly shook her head, yet she didn't even have the strength to speak. It seems she’ll faint soon. Jiang Xun furrowed her brows and took out a sachet from her pocket, "Grandmother, smell this, maybe it’ll make you feel a little better." Old Old Madame Yan was stunned. She got close and smelled it, the scent of medicine pounced forward, which immediately made her breathe easier and her chest tightness seemed to be relieved. Jiang Xun said, "Here, hold this. I made this two days ago. It's good for your health, only the sachet hasn't been sealed, so I didn’t give it to you." Old Madame Yan took a closer look. This sachet was indeed not finished yet, but the embroidery on it was exquisite and beautiful, the pattern was also pleasant. Old Madame Yan's heart warmed. She was so touched that she didn't know what to say. "Xun'er, Grandmother didn't pamper you for nothing." Jiang Xun thought of a move. She smiled and squeezed Old Madame Yan's hand, "Grandmother, Xun'er will go stop the horse. " "No, what if you get injured?" "If we continue to run like this, we don't know where it will go. If this horse goes crazy again, Grandmother's body won’t be able to stand it." Jiang Xun glanced up and saw a carriage approaching them from a distance. If their carriage didn't stop, they would immediately rush into them. When Jiang Xun noticed there was also a Xiao family sign hanging on the carriage, she thought: Sure enough, she was waiting here. Thinking of this, Jiang Xun no longer hesitated. She solemnly said to Grandmother, "You’re Xun'er's most respected grandmother, Xun'er can't let anything happen to you." The author has something to say: Jiang Xun: Those who say you want to marry me, your chance to performance has appeared Shen Xi Tang: I’m the first one to stand Xiao Wang He: Me, me, me! __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Notes: request for a divination stick (求签): a fortune telling practice at a Taoist/Buddhist temple where believers pray for answers from a divine oracle.
