Jiang Yutong was very tired after the day. Thinking that she would accompany Aunt Wang to visit the bride tomorrow, she decided to process the fish she bought first, otherwise it would become smelly tomorrow.

She sat in the yard with an oil lamp, slowly processing the fish in her hand.

Jiang Yutong worked efficiently. She scraped the scales off the fish, then cut open the belly, cleaned out the internal organs, rinsed it with clean water, and then cut it into small pieces and sprinkled salt on it to marinate.

Just marinate it for one night, take it out tomorrow and dry it in the sun. After it is dried, steam it, add seasonings and wine dregs and marinate it together. Put it in a jar and it will not go bad no matter how long you eat it.

Jiang Yutong was chopping fish when Banban in the yard shouted, someone was coming.

She stopped what she was doing, and soon there was a knock on the door. Jiang Yutong washed her hands in the basin and dried them. "Who is it?"

Li Nanxing's voice came, "It's me."

Jiang Yutong was a little suspicious. Why did Li Nanxing come here? Didn’t they just meet? What happened?

Jiang Yutong quickly opened the gate and asked, "Brother Nanxing, what happened?"

Li Nanxing knew Jiang Yutong had misunderstood, "No, nothing happened."

"That?"

Li Nanxing was silent for a moment, then looked at Jiang Yutong with a determined gaze. "Yutong, I have something to tell you."

Jiang Yutong looked at the pitch-black sky. It was not a good idea to invite him in, so he could only open the gate and said, "Brother Nanxing, go ahead and talk. I'm listening."

Li Nanxing saw Jiang Yutong's clear eyes, but couldn't say the words that came to his mouth. However, he still wanted to give himself a chance, "Yutong, I...you...have you ever thought about getting married again?"

Jiang Yutong watched Li Nanxing hesitate for a long time before finally saying this. Why did he come to her late at night just to talk about this? "Brother Nanxing, why are you suddenly talking about this?"

Li Nanxing hesitated again, not knowing what to say, "I... like you. You..."

Jiang Yutong was shocked. She had never been in love and had been single since birth, but someone confessed to her. She really didn't expect Li Nanxing to have such thoughts. They didn't have much contact with each other, and suddenly this happened.

Jiang Yutong was a little embarrassed. Aunt Wang had just asked her to go with her to help Li Nanxing look for a date tomorrow, and now Li Nanxing came here to confess his love to her. Aunt Wang would be furious if she knew.

Jiang Yutong didn't say that she had no plans to get married now, and if she did, it couldn't be Li Nanxing. It was likely that Aunt Wang didn't want her to marry her own son, after all, it was her second marriage. After all, the Li family was a famous doctor in the neighborhood, and their conditions were not bad.

In order to get along well with the Li family in the future, I must make things clear today.

Li Nanxing saw that Jiang Yutong kept his head down and didn't say anything. He felt that the days were passing by so slowly that he didn't know where to put his hands.

Fortunately, Jiang Yutong spoke up.

"Brother Nanxing, I'm sorry for letting you down. I've always treated you like a brother, and I treat Aunt Wang like my own aunt."

Li Nanxing quickly interrupted Jiang Yutong's next words when he heard this. He understood what she meant and forced a smile. "I was a bit abrupt, don't take it to heart. I... I was just giving myself a chance."

"You should go to bed early. I'll go back first."

After saying that, Li Nanxing turned and left. Jiang Yutong wanted to say something else, but finally shut up.

He closed the door silently and sighed. What should he do? It seems that he should keep some distance from the Li family in the future.

Jiang Yutong was too lazy to deal with the remaining fish, so he just marinated it with salt and would chop it into small pieces tomorrow.

After packing her things and taking a shower, Jiang Yutong went to bed, still thinking about this matter. It seemed that she would find a reason to refuse the date tomorrow.

As he was thinking, Jiang Yutong fell asleep.

There are other people who also have trouble sleeping.

The Ye family in the county town is in chaos. Mrs. Ye was frightened while riding in a carriage in the afternoon, and she had a headache when she came back. Mrs. Ye had a headache problem to begin with, and now it has become even worse.

All afternoon, doctors from Yinbai County were called in, but they couldn't relieve Madam Ye's headache. Several of the Ye family's children came. Ye Xiujun clutched her handkerchief and said to Ye Xiuju and Ye Jingming, "It must be Jiang Yutong. I just said a few words to her, and she dared to make our carriage go crazy and caused Madam's headache to flare up."

Ye Jingming frowned, "It's Jiang Yutong again. Today, because of Jiang Yutong, Zheng Qing was embarrassed and didn't even go to the Hanshan Temple to recite poems."

When Ye Xiujun heard this, she became anxious and kept asking what had happened.

Ye Jingming told the whole story, and Ye Xiujun was so angry that she almost tore her handkerchief. "Why is Jiang Yutong haunting me? I am not done with her."

Ye Xiuju was more rational. "Okay, there's no point in getting involved with this kind of person."

Ye Xiujiu also hated Jiang Yutong because Jiang Yutong caused her husband to be beaten with a stick and was severely punished by Master Ye. Master Ye had always looked down on Manager Zhang, and now he looked down on him even more.

Fortunately, the doctor inside came out and interrupted the conversation between the brother and sister outside.

"Doctor, is my mother feeling better?"

This is the famous Doctor Yang from Yinbai County. Doctor Yang took out a prescription and said, "Take this medicine for a while first. I will come to your house tomorrow."

After seeing off Doctor Yang, everyone entered Mrs. Ye's room. Mrs. Ye's face was a little pale at this time. She was wearing a headband on her forehead and leaning against the head of the bed.

"mother."

"Mom, are you feeling better?"

Madam Ye looked at her three children and said, "I'm sorry to have worried you all. It's an old illness, and it's getting late. You should go back and rest early."

Ye Xiujun snuggled up to Madam Ye and said, "Mom, let Yun'er stay with you."

"No need, I have a maid to take care of me here, you can go back to your rooms."

After sending the three children away, Mrs. Ye closed her eyes and began to ponder. As she thought about this and that, her head started to hurt again.

Had to give up.

Mr. Ye came back late. As soon as he entered the door, he heard that Mrs. Ye was frightened and had a headache. He didn't even have time to change his clothes before entering Mrs. Ye's yard.

"Ma'am, are you feeling better?"

Mrs. Ye had just dozed off for a moment when she heard Mr. Ye's voice. She forced herself to wake up and sit up.

Master Ye quickly went over to help him, "Just lie down."

Mrs. Ye smiled and said, "It's an old problem of mine, it's not a big deal."

"I heard the horse went crazy. What happened?"

Madam Ye shook her head. "The horse went crazy after leaving the Du family, and the driver couldn't calm it down."

Mrs. Ye had some guesses, but she also wondered how Jiang Yutong, a weak woman, could make the horse go crazy without even getting close to it.

But this matter was indeed strange, because the Wang family's carriage also went crazy at the same time.

"I don't know if I'm overthinking it, but the carriage just happened to pass by Jiang Yutong and it started running wildly. But she's just a little girl, I really don't know how she did it."

Master Ye pondered, "Jiang Yutong? Stay away from her from now on. When we go to the capital, the people and things here will be in the past. There's no need to keep her in mind."

Mrs. Ye nodded, said a few words reluctantly, and then lay down again.

Mr. Ye returned to his study and fell into deep thought as he looked at the secret report in front of him.
