In Shaoguang Courtyard, Jiang Luo rested well and thought about writing back to his uncles in Guangling. At this moment, he was sitting in the circle behind the desk, thinking about what to say?

Mingxu came in from outside: "Miss, the fifth young master is here."

Jiang Luo's eyes flashed, but he did not stand up: "Please let him in and keep an eye on the door."

"Yes." Mingxu turned around and walked out to invite Jiang An who was standing in the corridor.

After a while, a young boy in a blue shirt walked around the three-section screen with crabapple flowers and came to the desk.

Mingxu, as usual, stood in the porch outside the door, staring at the maids and old women working in the yard.

"Hello, big sister." Jiang An glanced at the girl in front of him, suppressed his amazement, lowered his head, and bowed respectfully.

Jiang Luo stared at him, wondering why he came today.

After a moment, she stood up and walked to the armchair in front of the desk and sat down: "Fifth brother, there is no need to be so polite, please take a seat." Jiang Luo pointed to the chair next to him and asked him to sit down.

Jiang An sat down generously. He did not beat around the bush and said directly, "Big sister, do you know that the second lady wants me to be adopted into the second house?"

Jiang Luo raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.

Not only did she think in her heart: Wow, her fifth brother is also a very insightful person.

"I heard some from my fourth sister." She replied casually.

Jiang An looked at Jiang Luo seriously and said solemnly: "In the entire Duke's Mansion, I am most similar to my elder sister. My position is awkward and I am disliked by others."

Jiang Luo laughed softly: "I don't think so."

Jiang An was a little stunned. His elder sister's answer like this... Did she disagree with him? Or did she mean she didn't want to be associated with him?

Jiang Luo took his expression into account and continued, "People who hate us are also people we hate. Therefore, they are no different from us."

Then he said, "Tell me, what is your purpose in coming to see me today? If it sounds good to me, I might agree to it!"

She could more or less guess Jiang An's intention, which was that he just wanted to get on her boat.

But her boat would capsize even if she was carrying it, so why would she risk the shipwreck by carrying one more person?

"I want to be adopted by the second branch of the family. As for Qin, I'd like to ask big sister to mediate for me." The young boy's voice was very clear and he spoke straightforwardly, which was completely different from his cowardice in front of Jiang Huai that day.

Jiang Luo thought: The Qin family is really powerful. Look at what they have done to people.

"Why do you think I can help you? Or, why do you think I will help you?" Jiang Luo's words were sharp.

But after listening to it, Jiang An did not show any anger at all.

If it was because of Aunt Liu and Jiang Nian, the two would be enemies. Whether Jiang An's words were true or false remained to be considered.

Of course Jiang Luo would not agree easily. She herself was helpless, so how could she waste her energy on others?

"I know that elder sister doesn't trust me, but what I want to say is that I know everything about what happened between you, my aunt and my second sister. I have been reading the books of sages for so long, and I know that they deserved it. So, I came to find you, elder sister." Jiang An looked into Jiang Luo's eyes, and every word he said came from the bottom of his heart.

Jiang Luo looked at the young man in front of him. In his bright and deep eyes, there was no trace of cunning or concealment, only sincerity and prudence.

She didn't understand how Aunt Liu could raise two children with such different personalities.

She thought about it, and finally tried to test him: "I think you also know that my father and grandmother hate me, and Qin is even worse. I can't even protect myself, let alone help you. If you really want to go to the second house, just go find Second Aunt, isn't it more useful than coming to me?"

"The Second Madam is willing to adopt me because she sees that I am easy to control. If I rashly go to the Second Madam, she will suspect that Qin has some ulterior motives, and she will definitely give up the idea. Then, I will be caught between the two sides..." Jiang An poured out all his thoughts.

The reason why he came to find Jiang Luo was because he had been observing in secret for a long time.

He found that since his elder sister came back from the manor, a lot of things had happened in the mansion. And if you carefully analyze these things, you will find that they are all directed at Jiang Luo.

The strange thing is that no matter how big or small the matter is, as long as it is a bad thing directed at her, it will be resolved in the end.

This elder sister of hers was not only able to escape unscathed from the big pit that these people had dug for her, but was also able to send all those who had harmed her into the pit.

He really admired her.

Therefore, his elder sister must have some great talents that are unknown to the world. Or maybe she has someone behind her who is giving her advice.

Otherwise, he really couldn't figure out why his elder sister had become so successful and calculating.

Jiang Luo didn't comment on Jiang An's words. But because of what he said, he couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

Liu and Qin were only calm on the surface, but in fact, they had never stopped competing with each other secretly.

Alas, one cannot help but sigh that the young ladies and gentlemen in these wealthy and powerful families, especially those born out of wedlock, really have a hard life.

Jiang An is busy with his schoolwork every day, but he is also well aware of the affairs between women in the backyard. It can be seen that he has a sharp mind, unlike ordinary people. If he is well trained, he will definitely achieve great things.

"Then why should I help you? What can I get if I help you? I'm in the same difficult situation as you, and I don't want to be caught between two odds." Jiang Luo made everything clear directly.

Jiang An admired her directness in his heart, and was also glad that he didn't beat around the bush. Otherwise, Jiang Luo would have asked him to leave with some excuse.

He also restrained the innocence on his face, and said with a little depth: "Big sister, if I go to the second house, I will be a legitimate son like Jiang Huai. In the future, who will be the head of this Duke's Mansion is still unknown!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Luo narrowed his eyes and looked at him again.

In fact, among the five children of Zhenguogong Jiang Zhou, Jiang An is the one who looks most like Jiang Zhou. Jiang Huai is only similar in spirit, while the others all look more like their mothers.

Seeing that she was staring at him, Jiang An straightened his back even more: "I will participate in this year's autumn examination."

Jiang Luo finally understood where his confidence came from when he said, "It's still unknown who will be the head of the Duke's Mansion?"

She withdrew her gaze and asked, "Are you sure?"

"About 7 or 8 points. I have plenty of time in the next period of time, and I will continue to work hard to get on the list." He replied straightforwardly, and it can be seen that he is determined to win the autumn examination.

After hearing what he said, Jiang Luo had to think about it carefully.

It was not difficult to help Jiang An at this time. Even if he didn't come today, she had already reminded Liu.

The reason why she said these words just now was just to make Jiang An clearly understand her situation. She couldn't help with everything, nor could she do it just by helping out, so as to avoid resentment in the future.

In other words, she was indeed an enemy of Aunt Liu and Jiang Nian, especially Jiang Nian.
