Chapter 606 Pepper Hill x Original Heroine 16
If every meal was so expensive, Ruan Yan wouldn't be able to bear it. Even if she wasn't short of money, she wouldn't want to eat such expensive food often.
As for the matter of lurking in the General's Mansion and Jiaoqiu Mansion, forget it. You have to know that her current identity is a counselor under General Jingyuan.
If she were caught accidentally, without any justifiable reason, and was discovered doing something sneaky and shameful, then the relationship involved would become complicated.
After Ruan Yan left Zuixianlou, she ran towards the inn she had booked nearby. She did not notice that Jiao Qiu, who was waving a folding fan in the crowd not far behind her, paused for a moment and quickly resumed his original pace.
"Lord Jiaoqiu, what's wrong with you?" The attendant who was accompanying Jiaoqiu asked Jiaoqiu.
"Nothing, I'm just dazzled." Jiaoqiu closed his folding fan with a snap and looked away in an instant.
In the past few years, whenever Lord Jiaoqiu saw a woman with a similar figure to Miss Ruan Yan, his eyes would stop for a moment. This was known to the servants who were close to Lord Jiaoqiu. After hearing Lord Jiaoqiu say this, the servants stopped asking questions.
In the next few days, Ruan Yan became a zither player in Zuixianlou, playing the piano for two hours every night. Although she was called playing the piano, in fact, Ruan Yan had a substitute for the piano. Ruan Yan only had to show her face every day, and she made a living by her face.
Although Ruan Yan's appearance after the disguise as Yan Qian is not as beautiful as her original self, it is still very good-looking, and even 50% similar to Ruan Yan's original appearance. Ruan Yan never thought that one day she would be able to make a living by relying on her looks.
Since Yan Qian often appears in the public eye, Ruan Yan only changed the lower half of Yan Qian's face in order to change his appearance more conveniently and quickly every day.
Because it is more difficult to disguise the upper part, Ruan Yan did not change anything about the upper part of her eyes.
After staying in Zuixianlou for half a month, Ruan Yan finally saw the familiar figure in pink, elegant and suave, waving a folding fan.
When she saw the figure from afar again, Ruan Yan was a little excited, thinking about how she would have a chance to bump into him and get in close contact with him later. After all, if it was just Jiao Qiu, Ruan Yan was still confident that Jiao Qiu would not recognize her.
As long as it's not her master Mo Ze, Ruan Yan is very confident to Fei Xiao and other friends. What's more, in their cognition, she is already dead. Even if they feel that she is somewhat similar, they will not really think that she is Ruan Yan.
"Miss Zuiyan, have some tea before the performance. Your lips are a little dry." The maid tremblingly brought the cup to Ruan Yan. After all, it was the first time she did something bad, and the maid's face revealed obvious nervousness.
"Just drink tea, why are your hands shaking?" The maid looked terrified. Ruan Yan thought there must be something wrong with the tea.
Ruan Yan took the cup handed over by the maid and smelled it. There was indeed something wrong with the tea. This was all child's play that she had played before. Ruan Yan instantly thought that the maid in front of her must have been bribed by her substitute.
She was just dozing off when someone handed her a pillow. At this moment, Ruan Yan thought of a way to get close to Jiao Qiu.
However, after what happened today, she probably won't come here to perform again. This Zuixianlou is no longer the same Zuixianlou as before.
Ruan Yan drank all the tea in one breath and turned the cup over in front of the maid to show that there was not a drop left. After returning the cup to the maid, Ruan Yan walked to the mirror and put on a veil.
Ruan Yan looked at herself in the mirror wearing a veil. Hey, if she didn't take off the veil, she would look exactly the same as her previous self.
As soon as Ruan Yan went out, she went to the bathroom and induced vomiting of the tea she had drunk, but even so, Ruan Yan still got contaminated with some of the tea that contained medicine.
The maid didn't expect that Ruan Yan would drink it just like that. There was no need to carry out the subsequent plan. The maid came to her senses and left the room directly to report to another place.
"She drank it all? That's good. I was the one playing the piano, so why should she, a newcomer, be the one to steal the show?" Wan Dan said disdainfully, "She's an outsider and she doesn't have any roots here. Look how scared you are."
Wan Dan glanced at the trembling maid and said, "Go and report to Lord Liu downstairs and tell him that the task he asked me to complete has been completed and can be completed tonight."
