Chapter 105 It must be hard to stay alone in an empty room, right?

"Jiaojiao, do you know her? Why haven't you seen her before? Her last name is Xiao? Are you familiar with her?"

On the way back, Cheng Yanwen kept asking, "I almost hit her brother today. I should at least apologize."

"Brother, do you really want to apologize?" Cheng Fangjiao looked at him meaningfully and said, "I heard that she is not married yet."

Cheng Yanwen's eyes lit up.

Cheng Fangjiao continued, "Unfortunately, my eldest brother has already married Fang Caiwei."

"Jiaojiao, your elder brother hasn't married yet." Cheng Yanwen reminded her while pursing his lips.

Vixen.

Cheng Fangjiao gnashed her teeth inwardly, then said, "Brother, do you want to marry her? We've only met once, and we don't know what her family background is like."

"Her family background must be excellent. Even if it's not so good, it doesn't matter. As the saying goes, look up to marry a daughter, and look down to marry a daughter-in-law." Cheng Yanwen's mind is now full of Xiao Jiuyue's sparkling eyes and bright and charming face, which is three times more beautiful than a blooming flower.

"Brother, I'm afraid our parents won't agree. Her last name is Xiao." Cheng Fangjiao looked as if she was thinking for him.

"What's wrong with the surname Xiao? Do you have to look at someone's surname before you marry them?" Cheng Yanwen finished speaking, and Cheng Fangjiao said, "Shengjing."

The moment she said those two words, Cheng Yanwen's face hesitated for a moment: "Could it be the Xiao family that was confiscated and exiled? Impossible, how could it be such a coincidence? You must be mistaken."

Cheng Yanwen looked at Cheng Fangjiao with a look of suspicion and said, "Jiaojiao, last time you wanted me to check if it was Miss Xiao? You're really something. Just because she's from Shengjing and her last name is Xiao, you say she was exiled after her property was confiscated. You're spreading rumors like this and it's going to hurt her reputation."

"Hehe." Cheng Fangjiao sneered, rolling her eyes countless times in her heart. Hasn't Cheng Yanwen done enough things that hurt other people's reputations?

She didn't see anyone before, but she could hear Cheng Yanwen's cursing clearly from such a distance. Wasn't it because she saw that he looked pretty good that she wanted to apologize?

…

"Miss, is Cheng Fangjiao planning something bad? I think the man next to her has bad intentions." Lian Xin asked worriedly as soon as she returned to the Xiao family.

"If he dares, I'll beat him!" Xiao Jiayuan rolled up his sleeves and raised his fist, looking like he would beat anyone who dared to bully his sister!

Xiao Jiuyue raised her hand and knocked a chestnut over: "Who was frightened by the horse just now and stood there motionless?"

"Sister, I, I didn't react in time." Xiao Jiayuan puffed his cheeks and said, "If it happens again, I will definitely be able to dodge it!"

"Starting tomorrow, you will learn martial arts from Chief Steward Jin!" Xiao Jiuyue saw that he wanted to speak and added, "Don't refuse!"

"Okay, what do you want to say?" Xiao Jiuyue asked.

"..." Xiao Jiayuan looked at her aggrievedly. He didn't want to learn martial arts.

"I'm not training you to death, I'm just trying to strengthen your body. If I run into this kind of situation again, I'll be waiting for you to protect me!" Xiao Jiuyue squatted down, looked at Xiao Jiayuan at eye level, and asked, "Are you willing to protect me?"

"I'm willing." Xiao Jiayuan nodded without hesitation. He pursed his lips and said, "Then, I will train hard with Manager Jin and protect my sister when I grow up!"

Today, the horse's hooves were raised high, carrying mud, and the horse was neighing and roaring. He really thought that he was going to be trampled into a meat pie by the horse's hooves. When Xiao Jiuyue pounced on him, Xiao Jiayuan remembered what happened on the day of the house search.

On the day of the house search, the guards were also ferocious. For the inkstone given by my father, the guards attacked him. Just like today, my sister rushed out without hesitation.

"Then you have to work hard!" Xiao Jiuyue said encouragingly, patting his head and saying, "Go home and practice the piano well today. Don't let school ruin your practice!"

"Yeah." Xiao Jiayuan pursed his lips solemnly and said, "Sister, I'm going back to my room to write."

"So well-behaved?" Xiao Jiuyue looked at him as he walked seriously into the house and couldn't help but turn around and said, "Lianxin, is he scared? Go to the kitchen and ask Mother Geng to make him some jujube flower pastry to calm him down."

Xiao Jiayuan’s favorite is the Jujube Flower Pastry. It’s good to eat something you like and divert your attention.

"Yes." Lianxin put down the piano and went to the kitchen to give instructions.

Xiao Jiuyue was not idle either. He went straight to Jin Wen and ordered, "Tell the doorman that if anyone from the Cheng family comes, send them away immediately."

"Yes." Jin Wen responded, looking at the mud on Xiao Jiuyue's dress and asked, "Miss, are you hurt?"

Xiao Jiuyue lowered her head, followed Jin Wen's gaze, and reached out to pat the dirt off her skirt. She couldn't let her beautiful mother see this, otherwise she would be worried again.

"It's okay, Jin Wu is back, let him come over." Xiao Jiuyue looked at the mountain, her lips slightly pursed, and she went over today's events in her mind. It just so happened that it matched what Luo Kui said before about seeing Bao Cui coming to the village!

She had not been to the county for such a long time, and Cheng Fangjiao brought her here. Did she want to use her to deal with Fang Caiwei?

Xiao Jiuyue closed his eyes and went over the thought in his mind again and again. Because of the candy shop incident, Cheng Fangjiao had been hostile to her since they first met, and there was no way she would let her marry his eldest brother.

So, Cheng Fangjiao wanted her to be his concubine?

Why did she think that she would be willing to become a concubine in the Cheng Mansion?

No, between her and Fang Caiwei, she felt that Cheng Fangjiao might hate her even more!

Even if she is willing to enter the mansion as a concubine, Cheng Fangjiao is not afraid because of her appearance. Is she more powerful than Fang Caiwei?

Xiao Jiuyue's eyes suddenly opened, her bright pupils were like twinkling stars in the dark night sky, her slender fingers tapped lightly on the table. Cheng Fangjiao just wanted her to make things difficult for Fang Caiwei, but would not let her enter the Cheng Mansion.

"Miss, are you looking for me?" Jin Wu's voice rang out.

Xiao Jiuyue turned her head, looked at him and said, "Jin Wu, from today on, you will take a few people to keep an eye on the County Magistrate's Mansion. Any movement there must be reported, especially any movement from Young Master Cheng, Cheng Fangjiao, and Fang Caiwei."

"yes."

Jin Wu responded.

"Where is He Changqing? Is he still in Yanjing?" Xiao Jiuyue suddenly asked.

Ever since the Gan family fell and He Changqing took revenge, He Changqing has been at the Hu family salt well.

"That's probably it. I heard that Hu Yi used the eldest lady's method and dug out more brine. Also, the salt is finer." Jin Wu pulled off the bag from his waist and said, "Oh, this is the refined salt that Hu Yi sent!"

Xiao Jiuyue took a look. It was still different from the fine salt of later generations, but it was much better than the coarse salt sold by the Gan family before. She said, "Send a letter to He Changqing."

Cheng Mansion.

Cheng Fangjiao had just sent away Cheng Yanwen, who wanted to come and apologize tomorrow, and deliberately went to Fang Caiwei's yard. She started to mock her, "Tsk tsk tsk, Aunt Fang, it's not very pleasant to be alone in your empty room, is it? When my sister-in-law comes home, I'm afraid you'll have to keep this empty room for yourself."
