The passers-by are vicious

"I go up to the west tower alone without saying a word, the moon is like a hook. The lonely sycamore tree in the deep courtyard is locked in the autumn. It is the sorrow of separation that cannot be cut off or sorted out." ("Meeting Again" by Li Yu - "I go up to the west tower alone without saying a word" - from Baidu)

Jiang Wanwan put down the book in her hand. Outside, there was laughter and joy because of the Marquis' wedding today, but she could only feel depressed in this small courtyard.

Jiang Wanwan wants to live like this until she dies.

Maybe, we don’t have to wait too long. Thinking of this, Jiang Wanwan felt a little itchy in her throat. She couldn’t help but cover her handkerchief and cough lightly. Her shoulders trembled slightly, making her look even more fragile.

Bier just thought that Jiang Wanwan was depressed because she was out of favor and couldn't see the Marquis, so she hurried to comfort her.

"Auntie, your health is important so don't be too sad."

Unfortunately, Bier didn’t understand that Jiang Wanwan was not out of favor, but was trapped in the backyard of the marquis’ mansion.

I have been in poor health for a long time and I am unable to do anything. I am helpless and sad.

Jiang Wanwan put down the handkerchief, her brows furrowed, her eyes filled with sorrow, and her thin light pink lips showed a bitter smile.

If someone saw this, they would probably think she was being pretentious.

Jiang Wanwan leaned against the head of the bed, her fingers brushing over the poems on the book, and sighed in her heart.

It's a pity that if I can't let go of the sorrow in my heart, how can I get rid of it?

The pretty face was depressed and unhappy, and the eyes that seemed to be happy yet sad could not hide the sadness.

…………

On the wedding day, Marquis Song Qiyuan did not stay overnight at his wife Su Luoyan's house, but instead stayed in the study.

When Old Madam Song found out, she could only shake her head and sigh, secretly blaming Su Luoyan for not pleasing the Marquis.

The new marquis' wife, Su Luoyan, stayed alone in the empty room all night, sitting in the main seat in the main hall with a bad look on her face.

Aunt Zhao held a handkerchief in her hand, and her face was filled with gloating: "I heard that the Marquis fell asleep in the study again last night. It seems that Madam is alone in the empty room."

She and Jiang Wanwan were both bought back by the old lady. Not to mention the presence of the Marquis, they had never even met each other!

Now that he saw that the new marquis' wife, Su Luoyan, was also treated in the same way, he couldn't help but feel a little comforted.

Su Luoyan's already gloomy expression instantly became even uglier. She stood up, raised her hand and slapped Aunt Zhao's pretty face fiercely, saying sternly, "This lady hasn't even opened her mouth yet, how can you, an aunt, be the first to speak!"

This startled Jiang Wanwan, who was the best prepared among those present, for a moment. Even Bier, who was standing behind her, was shocked by the aura of the new marquis' wife.

However, Su Wanran looked calm and composed, and her beautiful face did not show any surprise or unexpected expression.

After all, she had already witnessed the powerful methods of her elder sister when she was in the Shangshufang.

Su Luoyan listened to Aunt Zhao's screams, her face gloomy. It would be best if she could be killed directly. As long as she was the Marquis's concubine, Su Luoyan felt disgusted.

Unfortunately, I can't do as I wish today. I can only torture her slowly. One day I will be able to get rid of her.

Su Luoyan turned around and first set her eyes on her half-sister Su Wanran who married into the family with her.

Seeing that beautiful face with an indifferent expression, Su Luoyan couldn't help but flash a look of disgust in her eyes, and her face became even gloomier.

Then he looked at Jiang Wanwan who was sitting below with little presence.

Jiang Wanwan had her black hair tied up, her lips were light-colored, her eyes were as clear as autumn water, her pupils were light-colored, and her skin was as white as snow. Her skin was sickly white from not seeing the sun for many years, but she was still beautiful and had a graceful demeanor.

It was obvious at first glance that she was a restless person. When Su Luoyan saw Jiang Wanwan's overly outstanding face, she wished she could sell her out immediately.

Fortunately, Su Luoyan remained calm and knew that her aunt's indenture contract was not in her hands.

Aunt Zhao covered her face with her hands, her expression full of disbelief. She was completely stunned. She never thought that she would be beaten so badly just for telling the truth.

But seeing the fierce look in Su Luoyan's eyes, Aunt Zhao did not dare to speak immediately. She just covered her face and lowered her head without saying a word. She hated Su Luoyan in her heart for taking advantage of the fact that she was the legitimate daughter of the Shangshu Mansion to humiliate her like this.

Su Luoyan held back her anger and sat back in the main seat, holding up the teacup, her pretty face arrogant: "From now on, no one can speak before I speak.

"If there is anyone who is useless and disobedient, and disturbs the peace of the mansion, don't blame me for being ruthless and selling him out."

Jiang Wanwan, Su Wanran and Aunt Zhao immediately stood up, bowed, and then sat down.

But she didn't expect Su Luoyan to raise her chin and ask, "Did I ask you to sit down?"

Jiang Wanwan, Su Wanran and Aunt Zhao immediately stood up again.

Su Luoyan just sat there and drank tea leisurely.

As time went on, Jiang Wanwan's body could no longer hold back. She could not help but lower her head and cover her mouth with a handkerchief. Her already slender figure could not help but sway, like a willow in the wind.

In Su Luoyan's eyes, Jiang Wanwan's face not only did not lose its color, but instead gained a more delicate beauty.

Su Luoyan felt even more annoyed when she saw this. She waited until Nanny Kong behind her brought her tea again and shook her head slightly before she stopped trying to show off her authority and asked Jiang Wanwan and the others to sit down.

Jiang Wanwan held onto the chair and slowly sat down, her face turning pale and she coughed lightly again.

Su Luoyan was also afraid that something would happen to the concubine of the Marquis' Mansion on the first day of her marriage, which would ruin her reputation, so she didn't scold them any more. She distributed the rewards and let them leave.

Only after walking out of the door did Aunt Zhao dare to breathe a sigh of relief. Looking at Jiang Wanwan's pale face, she felt comforted and left with her face covered.

Just as Bier was supporting Jiang Wanwan and was about to return to her own courtyard, a crisp call came from behind.

Su Wanran came forward with her maid, her beautiful face smiling: "Sister Jiang, please stay. I didn't say hello to you just now. Are you scared? Madam was spoiled when she was in the mansion, and she has a strong temper. I hope you don't mind it."

Jiang Wanwan understood very well in her heart that Su Wanran's words seemed to be an explanation for Su Luoyan on the surface, but in fact, she was hinting to Jiang Wanwan that she was dissatisfied with Su Luoyan.

If Jiang Wanwan really had a conflict with Su Luoyan, it would naturally be the best thing for Su Wanran.

Jiang Wanwan didn't want to get involved in the dispute between the sisters, so she could only pretend not to understand and pretend to be at a loss, and responded softly: "I dare not argue with the madam's actions. If there is nothing else, I will go first."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Wanwan covered her hands with her handkerchief and coughed softly a few times. Her beautiful face, which was already as pale as paper, looked even more fragile at this moment, as if a gust of wind could blow her down.

Bi'er quickly supported the shaky Jiang Wanwan. She looked at Su Wanran and apologized quickly: "Don't worry, Aunt Wan. My aunt has always been weak. It's not that she doesn't want to talk to you on purpose."
