"What, did I say something wrong?" Jiang Shanshan stopped and looked at her with a smile, "Aunt Hongyu, did I really say something wrong?"
Hongyu's expression changed several times, and finally became indifferent.
She looked at the two people in front of her and said, "Fifth girl, if you want to live a stable life, don't be too smart. You need to know what to say and what not to say. Some words are better left rotting in the stomach."
"Otherwise, no one can protect you!"
"How has anyone ever protected our siblings?"
Jiang Mingxuan looked at her with dark eyes. Hongyu was stunned and pursed her lips: "The Jiang family is far more complicated than you think. Just calm down!"
At least until I can protect myself...
"The road ahead is not far. I won't see you off, Miss Fifth, or Master Six."
With that said, she nodded slightly and turned around to leave.
Jiang Shanshan took a breath of winter air that was so cold that it filled his lungs, and slowly exhaled it into white mist.
It also covered the look in her eyes.
"Our Aunt Hongyu has a really bad temper."
It seems like a joke, but there is no hint of joke in it.
Jiang Mingxuan glanced at his sister, a little dissatisfied, "Sister, what on earth are you testing? Do you still think that people like Hong Yu will have any good intentions for you and me?"
"An Xin, you and I are alone in the Jiang family. If there is someone who can..."
"impossible!"
Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Mingxuan interrupted her, "Sister, it's impossible for her to be like that."
As if thinking of something, he tightened his lips and showed a trace of hatred in his eyes.
And I still hate it completely.
Seeing this, Jiang Shanshan said no more. Compared to others, of course his younger brother was more important.
The two of them walked towards Biluo Courtyard, and the unpleasant conversation ended there.
On the way, a few messy sounds attracted them. Jiang Shanshan pulled his brother away and looked from the screen wall.
I saw several servants holding a boy with a scarred face on the ground, and opposite him was a young man of about the same age wearing brocade.
Because his back was turned, even though he couldn't see his face, the sound of his voice made it hard for people to have a good impression of him.
"Run!" The young man in brocade stretched out his legs proudly and lifted the chin of the man on the ground, "You little beast, I've been looking for you for so long. Let's see if you can hide this time."
With that said, he ordered the servant: "Break his legs and see if he can run away."
The people on the ground opened their eyes wide in fear and immediately started struggling.
"No, no, I was wrong. I will never run away again. Please forgive me, Fourth Young Master."
Listening to his begging for mercy, the young man in brocade clothes and several servants burst into laughter.
Jiang Mingxiu, who was lying on the ground, buried his head. His dignity was really worthless in the face of fear.
Because he has no ability to resist.
A commoner, just because he is a commoner!
At this moment, he hated his identity, the dirty Jiang family and the people here.
But, what can he do?
"Did you hear that, this little beast is begging for mercy!" The young man in brocade had enough laughter, but he didn't want to let him go.
I saw him waving his hand to a servant, "After much thought, it would be better to break your dog's leg, so as to save you trouble next time."
Jiang Mingxiu opened his eyes wide, and while struggling, he was clamped tightly and even his mouth was blocked.
When he saw a servant coming over with a stick, his eyes finally overflowed with gleaming light.
Save him, who can save him...
It’s good for everyone.
As long as I can save him...
Behind the screen wall, Jiang Shanshan grabbed his younger brother who was about to rush out, finally held him down, and whispered: "If you go out now, not only will you not be able to help him, you will also hurt him."
"Are you just looking at me like this? Sister, Mingxiu has helped me a lot..."
"I know, don't worry, I didn't say I wouldn't help."
Seeing Jiang Shanshan comfort him, he looked around, picked up a stone from the big flower pot, weighed it, and threw it towards the back of the head of the young man in brocade clothes.
With a bang, the smile on the young man's face suddenly stopped, and in the next moment, warmth surged from the back of his head.
After wiping it, his hands were bright red. Before he could speak, he rolled his eyes and fell to the ground.
Several servants couldn't care less about Jiang Mingxiu at the moment and immediately went to help their young master up.
When I saw the blood on one end, I was absolutely terrified.
After Jiang Shanshan threw the stone, he took his younger brother and ran away.
After doing such a thing, of course you can't stay here.
And she was very measured in her actions, so as not to really kill anyone.
Just when they were in a mess, Jiang Mingxiu also sneaked away. He looked back at the unconscious Jiang Minghui, and a sinister look flashed in his eyes.
If only, it would be better if he died.
After taking only a few steps, someone suddenly pulled me into a small path.
He reflexively held his head and curled up, but he didn't know that the beating he always thought didn't happen.
"Don't worry, no one here is going to beat you up."
When Jiang Mingxiu heard this, he immediately raised his head. Today's winter sun was not warm, it was even freezing cold, combined with the cold wind.
But at this moment, he felt a warm current slowly flowing into his limbs.
It makes my breath warmer and my eyes have more colors.
Seeing him in a daze, Jiang Shanshan smiled, revealing a dimple.
"Fooled?"
"Sister, stop making trouble!"
Jiang Mingxuan knelt down and helped the person up, finally bringing him back to his senses.
"Fifth...Fifth sister, Mingxuan." Jiang Mingxiu called softly, lowering his scarred face.
Jiang Shanshan paused after hearing his address. In fact, she should be her sister, but because of her status as a concubine and the fact that she was born to a prostitute, no one cared about it at the time.
And his biological mother also died in childbirth, so no one remembers what day and time he was born.
It happened that Jiang Shanshan's sister and brother were also born in those days. Later, when they were older, he was randomly placed among them.
Speaking of which, they are all just miserable people.
"Mingxuan, take him back and deal with it." Jiang Shanshan looked at the young man who was covered in scars and could not walk steadily and ordered.
"No, that's not necessary." Jiang Mingxiu wanted to break away, "I can just go back by myself."
"Are you going back like this to die?"
Jiang Shanshan said no more, glanced at his younger brother, and then took the lead and walked away.
Jiang Mingxuan said something to Jiang Mingxiu, and the latter agreed.
Back in the yard, Jiang Shanshan asked Taohong to take out the medicinal wine she brought back last time. It was said that she had used it when she twisted her arm.
"We don't have any other medicine for injuries at the moment, but medicinal wine is also good. Let's use it first!"
With that said, she asked the two boys to go and mess around in the house.
"Thank you, Fifth Sister." Jiang Mingxiu thanked him in a low voice.
Taohong stretched out her head and looked at the backs of the two people as they helped them leave. She clicked her tongue and shook her head, "Who is it, beating her so hard?"
From her familiar tone, I knew that this kind of thing happens often.
Jiang Shanshan stretched out a finger to push her head back.
"I need you to do something for me!"
Taohong stiffened and looked at her silently.
