August twenty-eight.

It rained last night and the air is fresh, which relieves the hot and stuffy weather that has lasted for many days.

Jiang Hao, with the help of Xiao Ting, set up a table at Zuixianlou and invited Jiang Qiyao and Pei Ying.

However, only Xiao Ting and Pei Ying came to the appointment. Jiang Qiyao said that she had caught a cold and had a headache and could not come.

"Come to think of it, I haven't seen Sister Yao for a while. I don't know how she's doing."

Pei Ying sat at the table with her chin supported by her hands and her face in her hands, pouting her lips.

Jiang Hao found that she seemed to like this action very much.

"Nothing."

Xiao Ting sighed, feeling that the relationship paths of the sisters were extremely bumpy: "She doesn't like the one her mother likes, and she is of noble status and can't get him. How can there be so many people who are in love and well-matched!"

"Are you still waiting for that fellow Chen Chuan?"

Xiao Ting's eyes fell on Pei Ying.

Jiang Hao's gaze also fell on her. Gossiping in leisure time is one of the few entertainment activities here.

Pei Ying said nothing.

However, judging from her silent expression, she probably hasn't given up yet.

These days, she has spent a lot of energy looking for Chen Chuan, and the Chen family is also ashamed of her. But unfortunately, Chen Chuan seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth. Not to mention the Chen family, even the fellow disciples in the Taoist temple have no news of him.

"Well, now the hardship has finally ended and happiness has finally come..."

"Let's not talk about these bad things."

Jiang Hao interrupted Xiao Ting's words, and there was a knock on the door: "Dear guests, the roast duck is here."

The maids immediately went to open the door and welcome the dishes, helped put the dishes on the table, poured water, took bowls, passed chopsticks, served the dishes...all got busy.

Although Jiang Qiyao didn't come, the three of them enjoyed the food and chatted, and time passed very quickly.

After eating and drinking, it was almost time for everyone to go back home.

Xiao Ting and Pei Ying were somewhat reluctant to leave, but Jiang Hao smiled and saw them off to the carriage, waving goodbye.

"Miss, why don't you ask the two ladies to bring it to Miss Jiang?"

Xiangling looked at the food box in her hand and asked in confusion.

They went to the imperial city and then returned to Ji Mansion. It would probably be dark by the time they made the round trip.

Jiang Hao said, "Since you are sincere, why bother asking someone to do it for you? Let's go, it's not too late."

Xiangling said no more, but she looked up at the sky. Dark clouds were gathering in the distance. "Miss, it's going to rain again..."

……

Madam Jiang looked at the food box on the table, wondering why her daughter pretended to be sick and didn't go to the appointment: "Yao'er, didn't you say that Princess Jiahe was kind to you? Then why didn't you go to her dinner party? Look how thoughtful she is, she even brought it to you specially."

Because Jiang Hao gave Jiang Qiyao the opportunity to get cured and get married, Mrs. Jiang Wu felt a strange sense of intimacy with Jiang Hao.

Jiang Qiyao lowered her head and bit her lips without saying a word. She pinched her thumb nails back and forth with both hands holding the handkerchief, as if she was angry or aggrieved.

Seeing that she was silent and her expression was vague, Wu frowned instantly and her voice became sharp: "Did she bully you by relying on her status as the county lord?"

The two personal maids in the room were startled when they heard this and glanced guiltily at the angry lady.

However, the two looked at each other and immediately lowered their heads even lower.

Seeing that her daughter was still silent, Mrs. Wu stood up, brushed her sleeves, turned around and walked out: "If you don't tell me, I will go find her myself tomorrow!"

"mother--"

Jiang Qiyao panicked instantly!
