After entering the book, I emptied the warehouse of my foster mother's house to farm

Jiang Hao did not miss the fleeting glance from Prince Ning, and knew what he was thinking. Although he did not say it explicitly, he was looking forward to Ji Zixuan.

After Jiang Hao paid his respects to him, he took out a roll of silver needles and said a lot of words around his hands and feet. However, King Ning did not hear these words at all.

"You guys go down first. I want to have a word with the county lady."

Prince Ning suddenly spoke, and the two maids standing nearby immediately bowed and stepped back.

After the two of them retreated to the far corridor, he said with some disappointment: "Didn't you say you would bring him to see me?"

"Ah."

Jiang Hao did not deny what he said before. He responded and continued to give him the needles while saying in a calm tone, "But I'm afraid he can't accept it for a while. Too many things have happened in the Ji Mansion recently."

Having said that, after seeing how Ji Zixuan handled the matter of Ji Ziyu, Jiang Hao felt that Ji Zixuan was not as fragile as she had imagined.

King Ning's eyes followed Jiang Hao's slender hands, watching her pinching this needle, then that needle, from her feet to her hands, she was always busy.

Hearing Jiang Hao's answer, he sighed with regret: "That's true."

The passing of his grandfather, who depended on him for everything, and the regret of missing out on this year's imperial examination were indeed a huge blow to him.

Neither of them spoke again until the acupuncture was over.

……

At night, Jiang Hao suffered from insomnia, which was rare.

After tossing and turning in bed, she quietly got up and went to the water pavilion without disturbing the maid on duty outside.

Moonlight is like water.

Ji Zixuan sat on the small bridge outside the water pavilion, staring at the water surface under the moonlight in a daze.

Li Gang stood not far away, with his head hung, looking dejected.

Jiang Hao walked closer and gently patted Li Gang's shoulder.

Li Gang turned around and saw that it was the county lady. He was immediately shocked: "County... County lady."

Jiang Hao motioned for him to speak more quietly, then looked at Ji Zixuan, and asked Li Gang to step away so that she could talk to him for a while.

"I told you not to bother me."

"I won't let it get to me."

"Li Gang, I asked you to go back..."

Ji Zixuan roared, but when he turned his head to look at Jiang Hao, he swallowed the last word back.

Under Ji Zixuan's shocked gaze, Jiang Hao sat down next to him and started chatting with him in a seemingly casual but guiding manner.

The more they talked, the more she realized that Ji Zixuan was even more unhappy than she thought.

"I always thought that mother... mother just didn't like me..."

"I have always believed that mother went insane because you were taken away and your whereabouts are unknown..."

“But, none of them.”

Ji Zixuan smiled bitterly and shook his head. Even when he looked up at the night sky, tears still fell from the corners of his eyes...

Jiang Hao looked at him in slight surprise, and said tentatively: "It's okay if you talk nonsense."

"I'm not talking nonsense. I know everything."

Ji Zixuan looked at Jiang Hao, just looked at her, then spread out his hands, revealing the jade pendant that Jiang Hao had once given him.

"Sister, you already knew that, right?"

"Do you hate me in your heart?"

"Because of me, you have been living away from home for many years, separated from your mother for many years, and have suffered countless grievances and hardships..."

"It's all because of me!"

Ji Zixuan was in great pain, he hated himself for taking over someone else's nest!

He was afraid. He was afraid that Jiang Hao would never pay attention to him again.

Jiang Hao recalled the suffering he had endured at the hands of the Song mother and daughter, reached out and picked up the jade pendant, and said in his heart: "If she knew, she would probably hate it!"
