Not only Hou Yuanyuan was happy that shopkeeper Qin was going back to the capital, but Jiang Miao was also very happy. After careful calculation, the two of them had not seen each other for almost three years.
"Sister Lan, shopkeeper Qin is coming, so the Hou family won't bully her, right?"
Shopkeeper Qin wrote to them in advance that Hou Shixian called Yuanyuan back for her birthday, and they all felt that there was something fishy about this.
"Why didn't she see Yuanyuan in the past few years? She has to come now..."
Jiang Miao despised the Hou family, especially the interaction with Mrs. Hou two days ago, which made her have no good impression of the Hou family.
Xu Zilan drank tea calmly, with a hint of disdain at the corner of her mouth.
"No, the Hou family is eager to please her now."
Jiang Miao, as Princess Rongning, has not yet realized that they are both merchants, but the Xu family's senses are more sensitive than hers. The Qin and Chen families are getting married, and the Qin family's status in the capital has been rising. They have done a lot more business these days.
On the other hand, the Hou family has always been in control. The family that had always been at odds with the Hou family took the initiative to show favor to the Qin family this time, stumbling upon the Hou family. Hou Shixian's ability was mediocre, and he simply couldn't resist it. Now he is looking forward to it. Shopkeeper Qin was rushing to Beijing. Marrying her again was equivalent to forming an alliance with the Qin family again.
Those who look down on the Hou family will have to beg him for mercy when the time comes.
After some prodding from Xu Zilan, Jiang Miao figured it out, and her face turned red with anger, "The Hou family is really disgusting. They treated Shopkeeper Qin like that at the beginning, and now they want to get in on it now that they have benefited from it!"
"Businessmen value profits, especially since the Hou family has been in decline over the years, so they will not let this opportunity pass by."
Xu Zilan is used to these dirty things, and Jiang Miao is not naive. She didn't think about it before, and her original happy mood was dampened after she figured it out.
"Then shopkeeper Qin comes here..."
She was afraid that shopkeeper Qin would be tricked by the Hou family. After all, her daughter was still in the Hou family, so there was no guarantee that she would not be soft-hearted.
Xu Zilan patted her hand and comforted her.
"Don't worry. Shopkeeper Qin has been running his own shop for so many years, so he is immersed in the business world. Hou Shixian will not be her opponent."
"That's good."
The weather has entered winter, and there is a big temperature difference between morning and evening at the border. Huquan Temple is on a mountain, so the temperature is lower than other places.
When Jiang Ru woke up early in the morning, the charcoal basin in the house had been extinguished, and the wind blew in through the cracks in the window, making the whole house chilly.
Xiaotao waited for her to wash up, and then took breakfast from the kitchen and served it. What she ate every day was rice porridge and a mixed flour pancake. There was not even a bit of oil or water in the pickles. Jiang Ru had lost weight after staying here for a month. Weighing several kilograms and wearing empty clothes, he looked a bit frail as Liu Fufeng.
She looked at the breakfast on the table, her eyebrows furrowed, and her face was filled with disgust.
Xiao Tao's heart tightened, and she stood by the table with a tray, her nerves tense, fearing that Jiang Ru would have an attack on the spot.
But this time she only frowned, picked up the pancake, took two bites, and drank the porridge and water in the bowl. While Xiao Tao breathed a sigh of relief, she looked at her in surprise.
Madam...has she changed her gender?
Jiang Ru has not changed her gender. She just wants to go out as soon as possible. Even if she goes on a hunger strike, she will not see Jiang Zhe. It is better to ask for help than to ask for yourself. Only by taking good care of your body can you have the possibility of going out.
"Put away all the dishes and chopsticks. I'll go out for a walk to eat."
Jiang Ru added a cloak. The wind on the mountain was so strong that she was afraid of catching cold. Jiang Zhe put her in Huquan Temple with the intention of letting her fend for herself. She couldn't let herself get sick, which was exactly what he wanted.
Now Jiang Ru only hates Jiang Zhe. In addition, that little bitch Sannu is pregnant. Jiang Zhe loves her so much. When she is born, it is not certain who will own the Jiang family's property. Jiang Rujue
I don't want to see this scene.
She tied the straps of her cloak tightly. The pink cloak was trimmed with rabbit fur. She buried her face in it and looked particularly delicate.
Jiang Ru was blowing the cold wind outside, thinking about something in her mind, and walked towards the back mountain.
Tuoba Mingge followed her, his eyes full of playful smiles.
There was a corner ahead, and the temple guest room was blocked by a mountain. Jiang Ru subconsciously walked here, and was about to turn around and go back, when a pair of hands suddenly appeared on her waist and held the person in her arms.
"ah!"
Jiang Ru screamed in fright, and before she could say anything, someone covered her mouth.
"It's me."
"Xun...Xunsheng!"
The man didn't show up for several days. Jiang Ru was a little angry after being forcibly kissed by him, but after not seeing him for so many days, her anger also subsided. Now that she saw him, all she felt was charm.
After all, he was the first man to have close contact with her, so he was naturally different in her mind.
"Why are you here again? Are there any pursuers today?"
She glanced behind the man, fearing that someone would come over again. She was a helpless little lady and she didn't want to hide his traces anymore.
Tuoba Mingge was amused by her reaction. This little lady from the Central Plains was as timid as a rabbit. He could break her slender neck with just a little force, which was particularly pitiful.
Tsk!
Tuoba Mingge covered her neck with his fingers, and his rough fingertips rubbed the woman's delicate skin. The skin was already turning red before he even exerted any force.
Lust filled Tuoba Mingge's eyes, and he opened his fingers and then slowly closed them. Jiang Ru's heart tightened, and before she could react, the man bit her lip.
Her neck and lips were under the man's control. Jiang Ru froze, not daring to move. The man was pleased by her reaction and inserted his tongue to occupy her mouth, domineeringly letting the woman be contaminated with his.
breath.
"Well..."
Jiang Ru clenched his clothes tightly in her hands, and her whole body collapsed in his arms.
She hated and despised herself like this. She clearly didn't want to surrender to the man in front of her, but she couldn't make the decision with her body and was easily provoked by him.
"Miss me?"
Tuoba Mingge's fingers went down a few inches, and the softness that had never been touched by anyone was held by the man. Jiang Ru's face turned red, and she hit the man's face with her hand, but he held it easily and squeezed it with one hand.
Holding her hands above her head, there was a mountain wall behind her. The man imprisoned her between his arms and the mountain wall. Jiang Ru didn't even have a chance to escape.
"Miss me? Huh?"
Tuoba Mingge asked again, his voice still hoarse with lust, and the face outside the mask was handsome and resolute, as domineering and arrogant as the person he was.
Jiang Ru straightened her body, her eyes full of shame and annoyance, but the secret love in her heart kept bubbling out, so she stubbornly spoke.
"No!"
"Ha! It seems like I haven't worked hard enough."
As he spoke, he lowered his head again, and Jiang Ru was ravaged inside and out. Her whole body was like a juicy peach, with white and pink skin.
If Tuoba Mingge hadn't known that he was in a hurry, he would never have let her go today.
There were tears in the corners of Jiang Ru's eyes, and she glared at him like a wink, making Tuoba Mingge almost lose control.
