Until Jiao Shun's figure disappeared outside the courtyard gate, the hearts of the girls in the courtyard still could not calm down for a long time.

In just a few days, Jia Yingchun's transformation refreshed everyone's understanding again and again, so much so that Wang Xifeng secretly wondered whether this girl had been possessed by something dirty.

Otherwise, with her always weak and bully temperament, how could she dare to say those words just now in front of everyone?

Seeing that the atmosphere in the garden was strange and no one spoke for a long time, Wang Xifeng had to take the initiative to stand up and said: "Okay, Brother Bao, please give me some advice from Brother Shun. You must hurry up and write an article. Let's not stay in this courtyard."

It’s an eyesore, let’s all disperse.”

After hearing what she said, everyone with their own thoughts became alive again.

Shi Xiangyun took the initiative to find Yingchun, planning to go back with her and comfort her on the way.

Tanchun hesitated for a moment when he saw this, but ultimately did not join in.

According to Brother Jiao's current attitude, the threat from the second sister should not be great. The top priority right now is to eliminate Sister Lin, the biggest competitor, as soon as possible.

So she planned to visit the hut in Qingtang and wait for an opportunity to come up with a way to "draw money from the bottom of the cauldron".

Although I feel sorry for Sister Lin by doing this, since I have determined my position as the mother-in-law, Sister Lin will eventually marry someone else. What difference does it make if it is one or two years earlier or one or two years later?

The whole journey was silent.

When they arrived near the hut in Qingtang, they saw Li Wan coming out. Tanchun hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Sister-in-law, is your wife at home?"

"I just wanted to report something to my wife. I just finished speaking. My wife should still be in the living room."

Li Wan said, but there was something strange about her expression. When she was outside the door, she was categorical and insisted that Jiao Shun had nothing to do with Mrs. Wang. But just now when she and Mrs. Wang were at the same time, she saw her wandering away several times, but it was...

This made Li Wan very suspicious.

Did that enemy hide it from him?

Or did something just happen before he had time to tell himself?

Naturally, she would not tell Tan Chunming about these entanglements in her heart - although the other party was just like her, he was a grasshopper on the rope, but there were some things that it was better not to expose.

So the two sisters chatted for a few words, and then they separated and went their separate ways.

Not to mention Li Wan.

But when Jia Tanchun entered, he saw Mrs. Wang sitting on the Luohan bed, stroking her lips with her fingers, her expression happy and a little confused.

Tanchun felt weird, but he didn't dare to investigate on his own. He only respectfully stepped forward to greet him.

"Um?"

Mrs. Wang suddenly woke up, quickly put her hands down, straightened her body and expression, and asked Tanchun to take a seat.

Tanchun became more and more surprised, but when he thought of the strange look on Li Wan's face just now, he just thought it was a problem between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, so he pretended not to know and said with a smile: "My daughter just came out of Yihong Courtyard, thinking about my wife."

I must be waiting for news from there, so I hurried over."

As expected, Mrs. Wang's attention was attracted. She leaned forward slightly and asked, "How is your brother? Has the memorial been written?"

"Madam, don't worry, this is something to be presented to the emperor after all. Every word must be carefully considered. How could it be written so quickly? However, I have already asked Brother Jiao for advice in person. I think it will be done in a day or two.

There are results.”

"That's good, that's good."

Mrs. Wang recited Amitabha twice, and then said: "If you have free time in the past two days, you might as well go to Yihongyuan to help supervise and supervise. Because the Niu family secretly instigated, the rumors outside have not stopped. This has been dragging on for a long time."

It’s not a big deal, but when I talk about him, he… well, he’s so grown up that he can’t help his mother.”

"Ma'am, relax."

Tan Chun stood up as he spoke, poured a cup of almond tea himself and brought it to Mrs. Wang with both hands. Just as he was about to continue to comfort her, his condescending gaze inadvertently fell on Mrs. Wang's lapel, but he couldn't help but be startled.

Why did my wife...

Mrs. Wang reached out to take it, but she saw that Tan Chun was stunned and did not let go. She looked up in confusion and immediately noticed her strange gaze and where she looked. She suddenly felt her face was hot and she hurriedly tried to grab it.

After passing the almond tea, he took the opportunity to cover the teacup in front of his lap.

Although she knew in her heart that even if she met Jiao Shun alone this time, she might not be able to have much close contact, her heart was burning and she couldn't help but pretend to be secretly.

But he didn't expect that this careful preparation did not benefit Jiao Shun, but fell into Tanchun's eyes.

She didn't know how to explain it, but she saw Tanchun come to his senses and continued as if nothing was wrong: "Brother just couldn't turn around for a while. When I got to engineering school, with Brother Jiao's teachings, I was able to do it very quickly."

On the right track."

"Um."

Mrs. Wang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said smoothly: "I still believe in Brother Shun's ability. If he hadn't been there to control him in the engineering school, I might not have urged your brother to become an official so early."

Tanchun nodded repeatedly, but secretly he was a little disapproving. He thought that Brother Jiao was just thinking about the old friendship and living under someone else's roof, so he took care of his second brother a lot. After he moved out, he might not be able to do this again.

unless……

Brother Jiao has become one of his own.

Although Sister Yun is also a relative, she is separated by two levels after all. Only her half-sister is the most suitable person to serve as the link between the two parties.

The more Tanchun thought about it, the more he felt that this reason was a big bonus, but it was not the time to make it clear right now, so he kept it secretly in his mind and prepared to wait for the right opportunity to give some indirect hints.

What we need to do now is naturally...

"I'm not worried about my brother's performance in engineering, but at home..."

When Tanchun said this, he deliberately stopped talking.

As expected, Mrs. Wang took the bait and hurriedly put down the almond tea in her hand and asked: "What happened at home? Did you see something wrong in Yihongyuan?!"

"Is this..."

Tanchun hesitated for a long time, and after knowing Mrs. Wang's repeated urging, he told everything about what happened in Liao Ting Huaxin, and sighed: "My brother is a long-term lover after all. I heard that Xiren said that he has been doing this for many times recently.

Sister Lin is crazy, and she likes to talk about some spiritual truths about transcending the world, which makes Xi Xi and the others on tenterhooks..."

"Is there such a thing?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang frowned and said slightly unhappy: "It's become such a mess, why didn't Xiren's hoof say anything to me?"

Hearing that she seemed to be venting her anger on the attacker, Tanchun hurriedly explained to the attacker: "After all, it is about Sister Lin's reputation, and the second brother and Sister Bao are about to get married, so it is normal for them to have concerns."

Who doesn't know that Xiren can be half of Yihongyuan's family?

Besides, she is here to eliminate competitors, not to make additional enemies.

Mrs. Wang nodded slightly, and then fell silent, unable to say anything further.

This caught Tanchun a little off guard. According to the usual situation, the wife should have repeatedly asked her how to deal with it at this time, but why was she suddenly speechless?

But how did she know that Mrs. Wang was originally going to ask, but as she spoke, she suddenly thought, although these three girls are smart, how can they be as resourceful and far-sighted as Brother Shun?

Instead of asking her, it would be better to find an opportunity to ask Brother Ji Yushun.

So after being silent for a while, Mrs. Wang directly changed the subject: "It's getting late, you can stay here and have lunch before leaving."

These words clearly have the meaning of seeing off guests.

Tan Chunduo was an exquisite person, so he quickly declined, then got up and apologized and left the hut in Qingtang.

After leaving the courtyard, she looked back at the living room of the main room, feeling puzzled in every possible way. In addition to not understanding why Mrs. Wang didn't ask her for a solution, she also didn't understand what Mrs. Wang was wearing inside.

Thinking again, it seemed like she had just met someone before.

Could it be that my wife also...

How is this possible?!

…………

Shi Xiangyun originally wanted to say a few words of comfort to Yingchun along the way, but because Yingchun behaved too 'normally' on the way, she became increasingly uneasy, so she simply followed her to Zhujin Tower, and did not leave Zhujin until she had lunch with Yingchun.

Come out of the building.

When she got outside, she looked around listlessly, not knowing where to go.

Previously, I didn't think much of it when Sister Bao was here, but now that Sister Bao has left, the deserted and remote feeling of Hengwuyuan has become clear.

Shi Xiangyun liked liveliness and hustle and bustle, but just now Kuang had held back something to say and wanted to talk, so naturally he didn't want to go back to the deserted Hengwu Courtyard.

After hesitating for a moment, she thought that all the sisters gathered in Yihong Courtyard today, but Lin Daiyu was missing [Actually Xichun was not here either, but she was a little transparent, so it was completely normal for her to be ignored], so she turned to Xiaoxiang Hall to prepare.

Tell Daiyu what's on your mind.

In the past, she might not have been willing to have a heart-to-heart relationship with Daiyu.

But since the Xue sisters left, the two lonely people have unconsciously embraced each other, and their relationship has naturally become much better than before - of course, bickering with each other is inevitable.

When they arrived at Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Lin Daiyu had just finished lunch and was running through the bamboo forest at the urging of Xueyan.

Although she didn't exercise much, Lin Daiyu was already sweating on her temples. When she saw Shi Xiangyun coming in, she immediately said as if she had been granted amnesty: "Why are you here? Come on, let's talk in the room!"

With that said, he pulled Shi Xiangyun and slipped into the house.

As a result, Zijuan blocked her and came back. The two maids talked to each other and tried to persuade her, saying that Miss Xing specially told her to change her bad habit of lying down after eating.

I have made a promise, and I cannot let Daiyu give up halfway.

Shi Xiangyun also laughed when he heard this and said: "How can I walk a few steps at home? Every time I finish eating, I have to ride around on my bike."

"Who doesn't know you're a horse without a bridle?"

Lin Daiyu glanced at her and said angrily: "Then you come with me!"

Naturally, Shi Xiangyun would not refuse, and immediately sent Cuixi to talk to Xueyan and Zijuan, while he walked and chatted with Lin Daiyu in the courtyard.

She first described what happened in Yihong Courtyard, and then sighed: "I usually don't show off my appearance, but who would have thought that the second sister would become more violent than the third sister."

Lin Daiyu shook her head: "The third sister is indeed fierce, but she always has a lot of calculations in her heart - but this time about the second sister, I can't understand it for a while."

"can't read?"

Shi Xiangyun was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said: "You mean, maybe the second sister's words were meant for this family?"

"Maybe."

Lin Daiyu was already a little languid, but now she was even less interested. She stopped and said, "It's a pity that even so, I'm afraid it won't help the matter in the end."

Although Daiyu was very reluctant to think the worst of the old lady who always loved her, she was not the one who deceived herself after all. She was like a mirror in her heart, knowing that no matter how much Yingchun showed the intention to fight, the government would never

There will be someone willing to pay a huge price to help Yingchun get out of this marriage.

Even if the wait to welcome the spring is a road of no return visible to the naked eye!

This kind of knowledge made Daiyu feel cold in her heart unconsciously, and made her full of doubts about her future.

Even though the second sister is not favored, she is a serious member of the family after all. Although he is valued by the old lady, his surname is not Jia. If he were to change places, how could he be better than the current second sister?

Recently, due to the discovery of the 'truth', Bao Qin has shown the intention of retreating and giving in. Dai Yu's attitude was originally very firm and persuaded her not to worry about herself.

But now, Lin Daiyu unconsciously felt a little shaken.

Or maybe...

Should we really leave ourselves a way out, as Sister Xing said?

However, this thought only passed by for a moment, and soon Lin Daiyu became determined again: How could she snatch someone else's marriage just because of temporary fear and retreat? Especially when she didn't have that intention towards Brother Jiao!

Shi Xiangyun didn't know that Lin Daiyu had so many thoughts in her mind. Seeing her stop, he also stopped and said dejectedly: "To be honest, seeing my second sister like this, I felt weird - earlier the eldest wife

In fact, I deliberately promised my second sister to Brother Jiao, but later because the old lady made the decision..."

As she said that, she lowered her head, rubbed one foot unconsciously on the bluestone floor, and hesitated: "So I always feel that it was me who robbed my second sister of her good marriage, and that's why she ended up in this situation.

"

"You're thinking too much!"

Unlike Shi Xiangyun, Lin Daiyu personally participated in this matter. When the elder was plotting against her at the Jiao family in the upcoming spring, she chose to stand by and watch. She also said: "At that time, elder brother Jiao was just like you, secretly taking care of my second sister in every possible way."

, but at the critical moment she..."

After saying that, he looked at Shi Xiangyun and asked seriously: "If it were you, would it be like this?"

"How is that possible?!"

Shi Xiangyun shook his head like a rattle: "If it were me, I would definitely come forward to dissuade him. If he couldn't stop him, he would stand with Brother Jiao!"

But soon, her resolute expression collapsed again, and she said with a bitter face: "Although from what you said, the second sister is bringing it upon herself, but... alas, after all, we are sisters who have grown up together. If I were

It would be great if there was a way to help her."

As he said that, regardless of whether it was done cleanly or not, he found a bamboo and leaned heavily against it, making a rustling sound when he hit the bamboo leaves.

Lin Daiyu looked at her and said: "In that case, why don't you go and ask for help..."

"don't want!"

Shi Xiangyun flatly rejected it, and then said very seriously: "It is my own business to help the second sister. If I force Brother Jiao to retaliate with kindness, then what is the difference between what the second sister and I did in the first place?"

Facing her righteous words, Lin Daiyu couldn't help but remain silent, and at the same time she felt deep shame in her heart.
