Mr. Ji lobbied Jiao Niang, but only in private, and did not dare to let Hua Jintang know. She just wanted to wait for Jiao Niang to agree to the matter, and then explain it to the master. It was simply Jiao Niang's wish.

But I didn't want my dear girl to divulge this matter at this juncture.

Before he could finish his words, Hua Jintang's expression suddenly changed, "Why did you marry into the Feng family as a concubine?" He frowned angrily at Ji, "Didn't I refuse that day? The Feng family came to visit again?"

Ji talked to Nuonuo and opened her eyes guiltily, "No, no."

Hua Jintang thought for a moment, then turned to Jiao Niang, "Jiao Niang, tell me, what's going on? Do you really want to marry into the Feng family?"

Jiao Niang quickly shook her head and glanced sideways at Ji, as if she had something to hide. Hua Jintang noticed something was wrong and said sternly: "Don't look at your mother. If I ask you a question, just say it."

Jiao Niang just waited for him to ask, so she started talking about the old lady of the Ji family's visit, leaving out every detail.

After hearing this, Hua Jintang was furious and pointed at Mrs. Ji, "What do you have in mind? Do you want to force her?"

The old lady sneered and said: "Everyone knows Sima Zhao's heart."

Ji's face was already pale, and she felt like she couldn't tell the difference even if she opened her mouth a thousand times. She glared at Jiao Niang fiercely, her body swayed, and she fainted. Several members of Wan Niang's Tao Jin family helped her to the side and lay down.

, and took Rongshen Baoxin Dan.

The girl tilted her head and let out a slight sneer from the tip of her nose. All the tricks of pretending to be dizzy were left over from her.

There was a surge in his eyes, and he said: "Mother has been feeling unwell recently. An Zhi has been working too hard. When I came to visit my mother in the morning, she was still looking at the accounts. My father should be more considerate and not make my mother work so hard.

."

Mrs. Ji also thought of pretending to be faint out of desperation, but by pretending to be faint, she realized that she had actually put herself in a passive position, speechless and unable to understand.

She didn't know what Jiao Niang was going to say, so she could only clenched her fists tightly.

"I heard that my sister-in-law has already taken care of the housework when she was at her parents' house, so she can take care of the mother's worries." Jiao Niang's eyes hurriedly passed over Ji's trembling hands and then turned to Su Qingyin's face.

Su Qingyin was shocked. She didn't want Jiaoniang to mention her. She looked at everyone and said modestly: "I'm young, so I'm afraid I won't be able to do well."

The old lady smiled and said, "You should start from a young age. You are smart and can do well." She asked Hua Jintang, "Ji's health is not good. There should be more people to help her. What do you think?"

Hua Jintang kept staring at Jiao Niang, then suddenly turned around and said, "Just follow mother's wishes."

When Ji heard this, she was so angry that she almost fainted.

Jiao Niang was so proud that she couldn't help but feel a bit of expression on her face. Suddenly she felt a gaze looking at her. She raised her eyes and met Shang Hua Jin Tang's scrutinizing eyes. She hurriedly lowered her head to hide the smile at the corner of her mouth.

Children are just different from adults. As soon as the illness gets better, he can no longer lie down in bed, so he asks his sweetheart to accompany him to play in the garden.

The old lady assigned two new maids and a young boy to follow An Ge. The maids are older, one is sixteen and the other is thirteen. The young man was picked from outside and is only two years older than Brother An. The old lady

He said that it is just right that he is so old. When he gets older in the future, he can study with Brother An.

Several people gathered around An Ge and accompanied him to fish by the pond. Jiao Niang was afraid of getting too close to the pond, so she accidentally made a mistake and asked Shuixiang and Qing Huan to look after her.

She watched from a distance in the pavilion, smiling as she watched Brother An play around. She just felt that the years were quiet and she wanted to watch him grow up like this. After a long time, her expression gradually dimmed, and she shed tears again unconsciously.

Fishing is a delicate job, and no child has the patience to do so, but after a while Brother An ran back to his wife.

Brother An is a careful child, and he saw confusion in her eyes at a glance, "Sister, why are you crying?"

Jiao Niang hugged him on her lap and said, "Sister, nothing happened. She just had sand in her eyes."

"Then I'll blow it for my sister." Jiao Niang bent her head, and Brother An breathed a few times, "Is there anything else?"

Such a heart-warming gesture made the corners of the girl's eyes sore. She struggled to stop her tears and said with a smile, "No more. Look, sister no longer sheds tears."

Brother An felt at ease now, smiled with his lips, and leaned against the girl, "From now on, if my sister blows sand into her eyes, please tell Brother An, and Brother An will snort for you."

"Okay." Tears welled up in Jiao Niang's eyes. She was afraid of falling and being seen by Brother An, so she raised her head and pressed down desperately.

The gentle spring breeze caressed her cheek and blew away the moisture in her eyes. She kissed the top of Brother An's head and murmured: "I'm sorry."

Brother An was confused and looked up at her, "Huh?"

Jiao Niang touched his face and said, "You just need to remember that no matter what my sister does, it is all for you."

Brother An nodded in understanding.

Jiao Niang smiled, picked up the cakes on the table and fed them to him, "Brother An, my sister asked you, did the snacks your sister asked Hongxing to give you before you fell ill, were they delicious?" Brother An nodded and asked again: "

Then did you listen to what your sister told you not to tell anyone?"

An Ge's eyes turned into crescent moons, "I listened to my sister and didn't tell anyone. This is a secret between me and my sister."

Jiao Niang nodded with satisfaction and touched his head, "Well, yes, this was our secret before and we can't let others know."

Today was the first time that Brother An went out to play since he fell ill. He went a little crazy and fell asleep not long after lying on his body.

There was a wind in the pavilion, and the young lady was afraid that he would catch the wind again, so she asked the wet nurse to carry him back to the old lady.

When there were only three masters and servants left in the pavilion, Jiao Niang turned around and whispered to Qing Huan: "The reward for Hong Xing will be doubled from the original amount. You can tell her again that as long as she serves me faithfully, I promise

She can be released in less than a year."

Qing Huan nodded after hearing this, turned around and left.

Jiao Niang was about to go back, and by chance, she met Wan Niang walking towards her, supporting Ji.

The weather has warmed up in the past few days, and her complexion has improved a lot, with a rosy color on her face.

Jiao Niang was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward to salute and say hello, and said with a smile: "Is mother feeling better these days? Is she still suffering from fainting? I heard that herbs such as borneol and musk have the effect of refreshing the brain. Mother can take it

Keep a little bit in your purse and carry it with you everywhere.”

Wan Niang rolled her eyes at her and said, "Hua Jiao Niang, there is no one else here, you don't have to be so pretentious and show off to no one."

Jiao Niang showed an innocent look on her face and said softly: "Why can't I understand what the second sister is saying?"

"Are you still here pretending to be stupid with me?" Wan Niang has a bad temper and will hit people if she disagrees with her. She already raised her hand, but she was grabbed by Ji. Ji looked at her up and down and said with a smile.

: "I thought I had read countless people and could never see the wrong person, but I just missed you. You acted so weak and well-behaved in front of me. If you didn't want to turn around, you gave me a knife."

The girl's eyes flashed, she smiled, took her hand, and said in an apologetic tone: "Did mother blame me for talking too much that day? In fact, I didn't want to. My father forced me to say it, and I didn't dare not to say it. And I

I really feel sorry for my mother's health, so I want my sister-in-law to take care of your worries."

Ji shook her off and said, "Put away your mask and don't pretend to be close to me as a mother and daughter. I know that you still resent me because of your aunt, so do you want to take revenge on me?"

Jiao Niang folded her clothes and said with a half-smile: "Why can't I understand not only my second sister's words, but also my mother's words now? Isn't my aunt's death caused by Mother Li? What does it have to do with my mother?

relation?"

Ji was stunned for a moment, and looked at her with an even more vicious look. He shot at Jiao Niang sharply like two steel knives. She gritted her teeth and said, "Jiao Niang, don't get too proud too soon. I will always be your aunt, holding your hand."

As for marriage, as long as I don't agree, you won't be able to get married, I can drag you out until you get married."

She wanted to see a look of panic on Jiao Niang's face, but it backfired. Jiao Niang just smiled softly and said, "That's good, I can stay with my mother all the time."

Aunt Mao just happened to come to see Jiao Niang. After bowing, she said: "Fifth girl, the old lady asked you to come over and have a meal."

Jiao Niang nodded and blessed Ji, "Then Jiao Niang will not be here to accompany mother."

The old lady had something to say, but Ji didn't dare to say anything, so she had to let her go.

Jiao Niang followed Mao Mao, walked a few steps, and then turned back, "By the way, realgar can also refresh your mind. Mom wears it with her even if she doesn't have to worry about it."

After saying that, she left without looking back, Ji's sinister eyes piercing her back.

Wan Niang jumped up in anger behind her, "Mom, look at her, relying on the old lady, she is getting more and more arrogant, even you don't take her seriously. Isn't it just because the old lady likes the little brat, otherwise she can't take care of her?

She is a concubine."

Ji said in a deep voice, "That's because I have the ability. I didn't notice that she goes to accompany the old lady to pray for Buddha every now and then. She just likes her. How can the old lady not like it?"

He tilted his head towards Wan Niang and said, "I told you a long time ago that it would be good for you to go to the old lady's place more often to please her when you have nothing to do, but you didn't listen."

Wan Niang pouted, "She doesn't want to see me. Every time she goes there, she treats me like her nose is not a nose, and her eyes are not eyes. Why should I put my hot face on someone's cold ass? I can't do that like a charming girl.

What's the difference between flattery and being a coward?"

Ji said helplessly: "So, you are not as good as my dear mother."

Wan Niang always likes to compete with Jiao Niang, and feels that she is worse than Jiao Niang in every way. Now when her mother said this, she felt uncomfortable. She twisted her silk handkerchief fiercely and said angrily: "I am not as good as her. Not only am I not as good as my mother, but so is my mother." Why not, instead of talking about this time, let’s talk about how Gu Yu, Mrs. Liao, and Mother Li in the past were all in her hands. My mother thought she was in control of everything, but she still misunderstood and let her be fooled."

Wan Niang's angry words were not intended to wake up the dreamer.

Ji's heart suddenly flashed like a thunderbolt, and as she thought deeply, she felt frightened.

She had always thought that Jiao Niang was weak and easy to control, so she didn't pay much attention to her, and she didn't connect Gu Yu and his friends' affairs with Jiao Niang. She just thought they were useless.

Now that I thought carefully about Wan Niang's words, I realized that in the past few months, Jiao Niang had suffered a lot of hidden losses silently.

"I really blindfolded her." Ji narrowed her eyes, murderous intent bursting out of her pupils, "This little bitch, I never thought she had such scheming thoughts before. Okay, then let's wait.
