Shao Ru returned home apprehensively, Granny Zhang was sitting under a tree in the yard enjoying the cool air, and when she saw her come back, a bright smile appeared on her face, and all the wrinkles were piled together.

"Ru Niang, Miss An let you come back again?"

Shao Ru regained her senses, smiled softly at Granny Zhang, and said, "Yes, Granny."

Granny Zhang nodded: "Ms. An is a good person. She knows you and I are lonely, so I asked you to come back every three days. The Li family and the Zhang family are not easy to get along with. Not only do they want to order the servants' family members, Even if they are all in the same village, they are not allowed to go home for a month."

Shao Ru didn't find it annoying to listen to Granny Zhang's rambling words. After all, she and Granny Zhang have lived together for nearly 20 years. Although they are not related by blood, they are not as good as they are. treated.

"Seeing that it was windy last night, did mother-in-law bring out a thick quilt?" Shao Ru asked considerately.

"It's still hot, it doesn't matter." Granny Zhang said.

Shao Ru silently moved her quilt out to dry, patting her and said, "Although it's still hot during the day, it's cold at night. The little lady didn't cover her quilt at night, so she caught cold. Mother-in-law, you should be more careful , I only have a relative like my mother-in-law left."

Granny Zhang quickly agreed, and then went to the kitchen to take out the candy that had been hidden for two days and gave it to Shao Ru: "Mr. Jiang asked someone to deliver it two days ago. My tooth is broken and I can't eat it. You can eat it."

Mentioning Jiang Sheng'an, Shao Ru's heart fluctuated up and down, she asked Granny Zhang: "Grandma, don't you think Mr. Jiang Lang is too kind to us?"

Granny Zhang sighed: "He has always taken care of my old bones, but I am not old-fashioned, and I can see his thoughts on you. But he had a marriage contract with Miss An before, even though Miss An It's easy to get along with, but if you make him a concubine, I'm afraid it won't be very easy. I'm always worried that you're in love. Now that they've divorced, I'm even more worried. Gotta take it."

The matter of Shao Ru and Jiang Sheng'an was not only hidden from the people in the village, but also from Granny Zhang, because Jiang Sheng'an was worried that Granny Zhang would tell it.

Shao Rubing didn't want to be favored by Jiang Sheng'an in vain, so he always objected to him always sending valuables home, so what Jiang Sheng'an sent were some unremarkable food, cloth, etc.

And Jiang Sheng'an has always been kind to the widowed and lonely households in the village, so he occasionally sends things to Granny Zhang, and others don't think too much about it.

However, Granny Zhang obviously knew more than Shao Ru imagined, and she also clearly opposed it. After all, she was old, and she would have no regrets if Shao Ru could find someone who cared and cared for her before she left.The only worry is that if Shao Ru becomes someone else's concubine, she will suffer a lot of grievances.

As for the grievances and grievances between the Jiang family and the An family, she couldn't control that much.

Shao Ru returned to An's house before dark, and Xu Xiangru returned one step ahead of her.She still remembered Xu Xiangru's words, so she held her anger in her heart, and she didn't want to go to Xu Xiangru's house after returning to An's house.

An Tong asked Xu Xiangru in surprise: "What did you do to Shao Ru?"

"I haven't even touched her, what can I do to her?" Xu Xiangru smiled slightly.

An Tong was dubious: "But she seems to be rolling her eyes at you!"

"Roll your eyes?" Xu Xiangru had never heard such a word.

An Tong realized that she had unconsciously told Xu Xiangru what she had learned on the letterhead again. Facing Xu Xiangru's curiosity, she had no choice but to do the same thing, and added an explanation: "That's it."

Xu Xiangru covered her mouth with the back of her hand and laughed lightly, until An Tong made another gesture like this, she stopped laughing slowly, and said: "It's true, where did Miss An learn the words?"

An Tong felt that Xu Xiangru might not necessarily want to know the truth about that chaotic world and their existence, so he said, "A place you can't imagine at all."

Xu Xiangru began to meditate seriously, but after thinking for a long time, she couldn't come up with anything, so she simply gave up thinking about it. After all, in her memory, Miss An's thoughts have always been so strange.

After dinner, while An Tong was waiting for the kitchen to boil hot water, Shao Ru walked in.Her hesitant look fell into An Tong's eyes, which made the latter a little surprised: "Shao Ru, what's wrong with you? The hesitant appearance is not like yours. Is there something unspeakable?"

Shao Ru tentatively said, "Little lady, I don't know if I should ask a question or not."

"Ask, if I'm in a good mood, I don't have to care about you."

Shao Ru plucked up her courage: "Why does the little lady have to divorce Mr. Jiang Lang?"

An Tong's movements paused for a moment, before he quietly said: "Of course it's because Jiang Sheng'an doesn't have me in his heart, and I only think of him as an elder brother."

Shao Ru was taken aback, thinking that An Tong had already known about Jiang Sheng'an's love for her, but judging from the latter sentence, she was worrying too much.She asked again: "How did the little lady know that Mr. Jiang Lang doesn't have a little lady in his heart?"

An Tong looked at her and smiled: "It takes a long time to see people's hearts. Cui Rou has only been by my side for half a year, and she has seen that Jiang Sheng'an has no self in her heart. I have known him for so many years, how can I not see it? "

An Tong's words were naturally adulterated, after all, she really knew that Jiang Shengan had nothing in her heart that she learned about through letters after her death, and she couldn't tell others about it.

Shao Ru pondered: "Then why did the Jiang family and the An family—"

Shao Ru kept secret about the smoky fights.

"This is something that can't be helped. Our two families used to be family friends, helping each other and benefiting each other. The grandfathers also hope to maintain a century-old relationship through marriage. The ancestors naturally hope that the Jiang family can protect the clansmen who have no official positions, and the ancestors of the Jiang family It's not only because of the old love, but also because of the consideration for his children and grandchildren. The grandfathers have passed away for more than ten years, and Jiang Sheng'an and I are not married, so the relationship between the two families has naturally faded."

Slowing down, An Tong continued: "The friendship is gradually becoming shallow, and we can only rely on interests to maintain it. But for the An family, the Jiang family asks too much; for the Jiang family, it is the An family who is ungrateful. Stand Differences and conflicts of interest, the two of us can only go to where we are today."

"If the Jiang family proposed to withdraw the engagement back then, would the young lady take revenge on the Jiang family?" Shao Ru asked the question that he wanted to know most in his heart.

An Tong was surprised and said: "I have no intention of Jiang Cheng'an. Naturally, I wish they would divorce, otherwise there would be no need to always find reasons to delay the marriage. But the Jiang family obviously doesn't think so... After An's family proposed to divorce last time, the Jiang family immediately Did you embarrass my father about the summer tax?"

Shao Ru was choked, even though An's family wanted to divorce Jiang Sheng'an last time but angered Jiang Sheng'an, she also felt that An's doing so was too damaging to Jiang Sheng'an's dignity, no wonder Jiang's family was angry.Up to now, she still felt that An Jia could propose to divorce the engagement properly, but An Tong wanted to team up with prostitutes to frame Jiang Sheng'an. This was really too much.

Now that An Tong said this, she felt that both families were at fault in this matter.It's just that her heart is still facing Jiang Sheng'an, and she seems to be very vacillating and in a dilemma.

"Why are you suddenly so curious about these things today?" An Tong sensed something was wrong.

Shao Ru suppressed the panic in her heart, and smiled: "The servant girl just, just saw that the little lady was sick again, and couldn't help but think back to the time when the little lady was sick, Jiang Langjun always came to visit the little lady, but now..."

An Tong waved his hand: "It's over, he was like a brother in my heart before, but when I knew what he did..."

Shao Ru thought of what Xu Xiangru said, her heart tightened, and she asked, "What did Mr. Jiang Lang do?"

An Lizheng, An Tong and others did not disclose the relationship between Jiang Sheng'an and Hua Dian, so it is not surprising that Shao Ru didn't know about it, but An Tong didn't want Shao Ru to know too much, so as not to cause trouble to the upper body, and said: "Anyway It's not doing any good, and the less you know, the better."

Shao Ru's heart became more and more contradictory. On the one hand, she wanted to trust Jiang Sheng'an, but on the other hand, she was instigated by Xu Xiangru and An Tong's words. She couldn't help wondering whether Jiang Sheng'an was not as upright as she thought Awe-inspiring and high-spirited.

An Tong didn't know that the seed of doubt planted by Xu Xiangru in Shao Ru's heart had quietly germinated. She only thought about recovering from her illness and then going to the Jinlan Pavilion. Settling down can only be a good thing.

As for giving Xu Xiangru the poisoned chicken soup, she was still ill and could not share the food with others, so she could only serve a bowl for Shao Ru to bring to Xu Xiangru.

Shao Ru originally wanted to avoid Xu Xiangru, saying that he was bringing chicken soup to her, but actually poured the chicken soup into the ditch as if venting, and went back with an empty bowl to report.

After An Tong fell asleep at night, in addition to the uncomfortable nose and throat, the dull feeling that had troubled her all night came again, but she didn't want to aggravate her typhoid fever, so she hugged the bedding tightly.

After tossing and turning for a while, she got up abruptly, seeing that Ren Cuirou hadn't fallen asleep, she said: "Cuirou, help me go to the courtyard to see if Xu Xiangru has slept."

Ren Cuirou didn't know why, but she still walked quickly to find Xu Xiangru. It happened that there was still a candle burning in Xu Xiangru's room, and her figure was printed on the window, shaking with the flickering of the candle.

"Madam Xu, can you rest?"

Xu Xiangru opened the door. She was only wearing an unlined garment, but she had a coat over her body.

"Cuirou? It's so late, is there anything else?"

"Little lady let me see if you have rested." Ren Cuiju said.

"Just to see if I'm asleep?" Xu Xiangru was a little puzzled, but she tidied up, extinguished the candle, and said, "I'll let you see what she has planned!"

When I arrived at An Tong's room, I saw her lying on the bed stretched out, the quilt was thrown aside by her, and she seemed to be in a daze looking at the bed curtain.Ren Cuirou couldn't help reminding: "Little lady, Miss Xu is here."

An Tong looked at Xu Xiangru tangledly, felt conflicted for a moment, and asked, "Are you afraid of being infected by me?"

Xu Xiangru said: "I seem to be quite sick."

One was sick for two months, and the other was sick for a day but would relapse. The two of them can be said to be the same.

Hearing this, An Tong gathered a corner of the quilt, rolled to the inside of the bed, and immediately patted the bed: "Then come up!"

Xu Xiangru smiled, and sat on the side of the bed, while Ren Cuirou stood aside, a little speechless about the development in front of her.

"Except for A Niang and Xiaolan, I have never slept with anyone else, but you are the first one." An Tong said.

"So, is it my honor?" Xu Xiangru said.

An Tong thought for a while, and muttered: "I asked you to help me cover the quilt."

Xu Xiangru said: "I sleep peacefully, and I promise not to let the little lady fall asleep and lift the quilt."

The two were haggling over everything here, Ren Cuirou found that there was no room for her to speak, so she simply blew out the candles for them, then closed the door and went out.

As soon as Xu Xiangru lay down, the room suddenly became dark, followed by the sound of Ren Cuirou closing the door.

The lanterns hanging outside the house still had some light coming in through the window, Xu Xiangru seemed to be quite used to such a dim environment.However, when she heard that there was no movement nearby, she reached out to touch the quilt, and when she touched it, she happened to touch An Tong's warm hand.

"Xu Xiangru, you are not restless at all." An Tong hurriedly passed the quilt to Xu Xiangru, lest she fumble around again.

Xu Xiangru couldn't help but laugh, but the joy of sharing the bed with An Tong became more and more obvious.

After she covered the quilt, she asked An Tong who had her back facing her: "Have you covered the quilt, little lady?"

An Tong was a little hot, and then replied sullenly: "It's covered."

Xu Xiangru reached out and pulled An Tong into his arms, startled An Tong: "What are you doing?"

"In this way, I can immediately notice the little lady kicking the quilt!" The wind of Xu Xiangru's words blew on An Tong's ear, and her ear instantly became warm.

"You are so close to me, but you will get sick!" An Tong said.

Xu Xiangru no longer entangled with her about this matter, but said: "As long as you don't move around and touch my leg, then there is nothing to worry about."

An Tong was really worried that he would touch Xu Xiangru's wound, so he just lay still. Although he still felt hot, he had no time to take care of it because of his chaotic thoughts and thoughts.
