Jiang Shanshan approached her and whispered a few words into her ear. Taohong paused and relaxed her brows.
As long as you don't need money again, that's fine.
but……
"Wouldn't it be too eye-catching for us to be like this?"
"What's wrong with attracting people's attention?" Jiang Shanshan exhaled and came to the corridor to stand, "I don't know how many years I have to live, why not do what I want to do happily."
"Bah, bah, bah, what are you talking about that is depressing? Even if they die, they will die too."
Taohong pouted and said.
Jiang Shanshan only smiled and did not answer.
After finally listening to her instructions, Taohong found an opportunity to sneak out early the next morning.
In the small kitchen, Jiang Mingxuan brought Jiang Mingxiu to boil water. After a night of recuperation, although the injuries on the latter's body and face looked more conspicuous, they were actually much better.
Jiang Mingxuan saw that his clothes were thin and even gave him a new set.
The two are not too different in stature, so they can wear it.
"It's time for me to go back. I haven't been home all night. If they are looking for me, I'm afraid..."
"Don't worry about them, just stay here with peace of mind."
Jiang Mingxuan's determined tone made him hesitate for a moment, struggling in his heart.
If possible, he would like to stay, even if there is nothing, he really wants to.
"Don't worry, they won't take care of you for the time being. My sister and I are here for everything."
"Fifth sister..."
Jiang Mingxiu pursed his lips, hugged his legs and rested in front of the stove door, his eyebrows slightly relaxed.
After looking at him, Jiang Mingxuan raised the corner of his mouth. He didn't know when, but his sister had become someone who no longer needed to worry about him.
On the contrary, it can provide others with support.
It’s not a bad thing!
On the other end, Taohong, who left the Jiang family from the back row house, followed the instructions and went to the nearest teahouse. After explaining her purpose, she was led to the backyard.
Not long after, when she came out, the people in the backyard also left.
After purchasing the necessary medicines, Taohong passed by a dim sum stall and generously ordered a few pieces of sweet rice cakes to put on them, with a smile on her lips.
Being rich means being strong-willed.
…
"She is very meddlesome. She can't even protect herself, but she still cares about these nosy things."
When the news was delivered to Duke Jingguo's palace, Gu Yuan couldn't help but laugh.
Ah Wu stood behind him and glanced at his master secretly, "Master, you don't really want to help her, do you?"
Gu Yuan didn't reply to him, he just narrowed his eyes and rubbed the cup in his hand.
Seeing this, Ah Wu still didn't understand. He puffed up his cheeks and said: "Sir, you are doing big things, how can you waste your time on a woman from the back house?"
This is inappropriate!
You must know that in the border battle two years ago, their young master defeated a hundred thousand enemy troops at the age of fifteen, making everyone in the enemy country fear him.
How could such an astonishingly talented and handsome young man be delayed by a woman who lives in the back house?
What's more, my young master has devoted a lot of energy to her.
"Go and do it!"
"Master?"
Awu opened his round eyes in disbelief.
But Gu Yuan stopped talking. He knew his master's temper and would not allow others to persuade him.
Alas, it’s hard to stand up!
Two days later, Jiang Minghui's injury stabilized, and the second lady freed up her hands to look for him.
However, I didn't see anyone in the original back room. I asked the servants living nearby and they said they hadn't seen him in a few days.
This angered her, hurt her son, and dared to hide him, so she immediately ordered people to find him.
In the main room of the second room, several brothers who had rushed back from Taixue gathered together. After seeing Jiang Minghui, they asked about the matter.
Jiang Mingjue, the eldest son of the second wife, is also the eldest brother of the Jiang family. He knows what his brother's temper is like on weekdays. Hearing the second wife's jealous words, he couldn't help but frown.
"...But a concubine dared to do something like this and hurt your brother. He had such a big hole in the back of his head. It's really vicious."
The second lady cried, and several younger members of the Jiang family quickly coaxed her.
Jiang Mingjue glanced at his biological sister Jiang Qiuyue, and then moved outside the door.
"What on earth is going on? He really dares to fight against Ah Hui?"
"Brother, I don't care whether he dares or not. Anyway, it's true that Ah Hui was injured." Jiang Qiuyue pouted, "Brother, keeping that little beast around is too much of an eyesore. Just get him out!"
As she said that, she remembered that a group of servants had just been sold in the past few days, and clapped her hands and said: "We might as well sell him together with the servants and let him work as a shepherd."
Jiang Mingjue tapped her head lightly, "Who taught you everything? My daughter's family."
"Brother~"
Jiang Qiuyue pulled his sleeve and shook it, "There are only two concubines in our family, and they are both from our second bedroom. I don't blame my grandmother for favoring the big and third bedroom. Every time I get good things, she sticks to them first."
"It's nonsense. You can't comment on the elders' matters." Jiang Mingjue said with a solemn face.
But Jiang Qiuyue knew that her brother always loved her, so she was not afraid and just pouted.
"Well, after all, he is from our Jiang family. If he is really betrayed, we won't be able to stand up if word spreads, and we will even be criticized by others."
As he spoke, he coaxed: "Good boy, if you want to teach him a lesson, just play around, but you can't say these words again."
"oh……"
Seeing that she was unhappy, Jiang Mingjue had no choice but to go and bring the things he brought back to make her happy.
When they returned to the hall, several brothers gathered around. Jiang Mingjue comforted his mother, "I will send people to investigate this matter and find him. Mother can just watch Ah Hui with peace of mind."
The second lady pressed the tears from the corners of her eyes and nodded.
The sadness is real, after all, he is his youngest son, and he naturally hates the little beast born from a concubine.
No matter whether it was his own hands or not.
There is never much reason to express anger.
…
In Biluo Courtyard, Jiang Mingxiu wanted to go out uneasily, but unfortunately the door was locked and he could not enter or exit at will.
From the news brought back from Taohong today, he already knew that Jiang Mingjue and the others were back.
He's afraid he won't be able to escape this trouble, but at least he won't be able to harm others.
Thinking about it, he took the initiative to find Jiang Shanshan who was warming himself by the fire in the small kitchen.
Jiang Shanshan was not surprised when he saw him.
"Want to leave?"
Jiang Mingxiu paused and lowered his head cautiously, "They will definitely look for me when they come back. We can't bring you and Mingxuan down."
"Do you want revenge?"
"What?"
He raised his head in confusion and did not come back to his senses for a moment.
Jiang Shanshan curled his lips and added a piece of firewood to the stove door.
The fire burned a little brighter, reflecting her face and those white and slender hands.
Just listen to her say: "If you have the chance, do you want to take revenge? Pay back all the humiliation over the years."
Jiang Mingxiu's eyes widened slightly, and his throat rolled unconsciously.
If he said he had never thought about it, it would be a lie. For countless days and nights, he had been resentful. Even as time passed, he could no longer tell whether the person he resented was his own identity, people like the Jiang family, or himself.
But now someone actually told him, take revenge!
"I...I'm just a concubine..."
"So what if I'm a commoner?"
Jiang Shanshan waved to him, and Jiang Mingxiu didn't hesitate, stepped forward and knelt down.
One hand pinched his chin and stroked the injured area, causing a stinging pain that made him frown in discomfort and try to hide from his embarrassed self.
However, the most moving voice I have ever heard in my life rang in my ears.
"If I say I can, I can!"
