After tearing up the script of the vicious female supporting role, I cleaned up the Xiangfu every da

Jiang Wansang didn't know why He Xiu asked this, but she could feel the change in her tone. She thought she had said something wrong and subconsciously looked at Pei Zhanzhou.

Pei Zhanzhou gave her a look that said "relax," but he didn't explain. He just said to He Xiu, "It's cold outside. Let's go inside and talk."

"Yes, yes, let's go inside and talk." He Xiu happily pulled Jiang Wansang into the house and let her sit next to her.

"Miss Jiang, what do you like to do in your boudoir? Is there anything you like? I have many good things in my room that the young masters sent me. If you like them, you can pick any you like..."

He Xiu was very enthusiastic and seemed to want to give away all her good things. As they chatted, she even changed her address to the more intimate "Miss Jiang".

Jiang Wansang was a little overwhelmed by such enthusiasm, and subconsciously wanted to seek help from Pei Zhanzhou. However, when she looked up, the person who had followed her in had disappeared without a trace.

He Xiu noticed her searching look and asked, "Miss Jiang, are you looking for the young master?"

Jiang Wansang quickly averted her gaze, "Uh... no..."

She was not a fool, so of course she knew why He Xiu treated her so kindly when it was their first meeting.

But faced with the misunderstanding of her elders' over-enthusiasm, she really didn't know how to explain.

Perhaps noticing her nervousness and discomfort, He Xiu stopped asking about Jiang Wansang's situation too enthusiastically and instead talked about Pei Zhanzhou.

"Miss Jiang must be wondering why I was so surprised when I heard that you celebrated the New Year together just now?" He Xiu seemed to have thought of something bad, and her tone was a little sad.

"In fact, after that incident, the New Year's Day...is like a scar in your heart. It hurts for a long time if you touch it."

Jiang Wansang was surprised. She never thought that the New Year had such a meaning in Pei Zhanzhou's heart. Today, she didn't notice it at all.

After hesitating for a long time, Jiang Wansang couldn't help but ask, "Can I ask the reason?"

He Xiu's expression could not be seen clearly through the thick gauze, but Jiang Wansang could feel that she was holding his hand with a slight force.

Jiang Wansang lowered his eyes and glanced at her hand. Just as he was about to say that he shouldn't have asked too many questions, he heard He Xiu sigh softly.

She patted Jiang Wansang's hand gently. "The fact that the Master brought you here proves that he truly considers you one of his own. But that matter..."

He Xiu paused, with a hint of obvious sadness in her voice, "That's the knot between you and me. Every New Year's Eve these past few years, you've always been particularly down. I've thought of many ways to comfort him, but..."

She tried a lot, but the young master never got over that night, and even she often dreamed of the scenes of that night.

But now the young master actually spent the New Year with Miss Jiang, and even brought her here today. Perhaps this is a good sign.

Thinking of this, He Xiu looked at Jiang Wansang with a hint of anticipation. "If Miss Jiang wants to know, why not ask the young master in person? When that time comes, I hope Miss Jiang can help the young master. He still has a long life ahead of him, and he shouldn't be trapped in the dream of the past forever."

This was the first time that the young master brought the girl to see her. Even Zhou Zhi and the others could see that the young master treated this girl differently. If the young master was really willing to tell the story of the past, the only one who could help him would be Miss Jiang.

Jiang Wansang didn't understand how she could help Pei Zhanzhou, but since the other party had said so much, she certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to continue asking.

Just at this moment, Pei Zhanzhou, who had just gone out, stepped in and interrupted the silence between the two.

Pei Zhanzhou has always been sensitive, and he felt the heavy and sad atmosphere as soon as he entered the door.

Jiang Wansang rarely showed her emotions on her face, so nothing could be seen. Although He Xiu's expression was hidden under the veil, the action of secretly wiping away tears did not escape Pei Zhanzhou's eyes.

Over the years, the only thing that could cause Aunt He Xiu to experience such emotional fluctuations and that she didn't want me to know about was that incident back then...

Pei Zhanzhou pursed his lips slightly and looked away as if he hadn't seen it. "I boiled some hot water."

The guys at Xiaoji Cloth Shop had all gone home for the New Year holiday, but he secretly arranged for a number of people to protect He Xiu. Logically, he didn't need to do such a thing himself.

But seeing the two of them chatting so happily, that warm scene made him feel that there should be no outsiders present.

He personally poured a glass of water for the two of them, and when he handed it to Jiang Wansang, he casually said, "You can't sleep after drinking tea tonight. You just drank quite a bit of wine. Drink some hot water first to calm down."

He Xiu looked at his actions with relief and emotion, "Young Master has really grown up and become caring."

Jiang Wansang froze as she was about to drink the hot water. She didn't know whether to drink it or put it down.

She looked up at Pei Zhanzhou, signaling him with her eyes to say something, at least to prevent Aunt He Xiu from continuing to misunderstand.

Pei Zhanzhou received her signal and poured himself a cup of hot water. While drinking it, he silently looked away.

The corner of his mouth, which was blocked by the water cup, curled up slightly.

Jiang Wansang: "..."

He Xiu noticed the actions of the two people, but did not understand what they meant. She just felt that they looked like a perfect match. Look at them, they have such a tacit understanding!

Jiang Wansang drank the whole cup of hot water, glanced at Pei Zhanzhou, and suddenly asked, "Aunt He Xiu, you raised Pei Zhanzhou, so can you tell me about his childhood?"

Ever since he entered Xiaoji Cloth Shop, Pei Zhanzhou has never called himself "this country's master" again. He even does things like boiling water by himself, which proves that he will not be proud of his status in front of Aunt He Xiu, so Jiang Wansang directly called him by his name.

Pei Zhanzhou did not react at all when she called his name, but he had a bad feeling in his heart.

Sure enough, Jiang Wansang continued, "It's best if it's something you find both cute and tender-hearted."

Something that can be considered "cute and soft-hearted" by the elders who raised him must be stupid and childish considering Pei Zhanzhou's current age.

Pei Zhanzhou immediately noticed something was wrong, but before he could say anything, He Xiu smiled and said, "Speaking of this, that's quite a lot!"

"The young master was intelligent and matured earlier than other children his age, but when he was three years old, he couldn't control himself and wet the bed. Fearing that he would be discovered, he secretly hid his wet pants and quilt and planned to dig a hole to bury it."

"As a result, he made so much noise while digging that I caught him. He even insisted that a mouse had crawled onto his bed and urinated on it in the middle of the night."

"Pfft——" Jiang Wansang laughed out loud and looked at Pei Zhanzhou next to him with a teasing look.

As expected of the smart and thoughtful Master Pei, he could come up with such a brilliant excuse at the age of three. She wanted to give him a thumbs up!

Pei Zhanzhou, who inexplicably understood the meaning in her eyes: "..."

Looking at Jiang Wansang's teasing and cheerful smile, Pei Zhanzhou originally wanted to say the words to stop her, but in the end he didn't say them.

Never mind, today is New Year’s Eve, let her laugh if she wants!
