Qiuju quickly caught up: "Miss, that horse almost trampled you, let's just leave it at that."
"We just passed by the restaurant entrance. They stopped in front of the restaurant, but they didn't actually hurt me. Are you suggesting we blame them?"
Jiang Shuyue walked forward in a daze, her mind filled with that devilish face.
"Sister, did I startle you?" Su Jin took the bundle from Shui Sheng's hands and asked with concern.
Jiang Shuyue composed herself, turned around and took Shui Sheng's small hand: "It's alright, it's getting late, let's go back quickly."
On the other side.
Xiao Jingzhao watched the departing figure, his phoenix eyes narrowing slightly.
A cloud of doubt suddenly arose in my mind.
That bright red beauty mark was as if it were branded into his mind.
And that otherworldly face, why does it look so familiar!
Could it be her?!
That woman was dressed in plain clothes; how could she possibly be the noble lady from the capital who had already passed away?!
Xiao Jingzhao quickly extinguished the doubts in his mind.
"Please dismount, Master. I sent someone to inform the manager this morning, and he has reserved a superior room for you," Xiang Song explained when he saw that Xiao Jingzhao was still not dismounting.
The master has severe mysophobia, which is known only to a few guards who serve him closely.
If the restaurant doesn't have a superior room, the master would rather travel through the night than stay there.
"Sir, you've arrived. Please come in."
A servant saw several people dismount in front of the restaurant. He recognized one of them as someone he knew and quickly went to greet him.
Xiao Jingzhao glanced at the beautiful figure that disappeared around the corner, then dismounted.
A servant stepped forward to take the reins, and Xiangyang, who was walking at the back, instructed: "Remember to feed them good feed, and give them extra feed once at midnight."
Tomorrow, the master will have to go to Jingning to check on the situation. I don't know what has happened recently, but many refugees have poured into Yannan.
The master ordered local county governments to register and settle the refugees who came to Yannan.
With so many refugees, the county magistrate was also suffering greatly.
...
After Jiang Shuyue returned, she asked Su Jin to return the money left over from buying clothes for Shuisheng to Lin Miaoshou.
The money for buying clothes for the others was hers.
Qiu Ju and Su Hui shared a room, while Jiang Shuyue and Sui Sui shared another room.
Pushing open the door, I saw Su Nan sitting on the edge of the bed.
Seeing Jiang Shuyue enter the room, Su Nan made a shushing gesture and then pointed to the bed.
Jiang Shuyue walked over quietly and saw Sui Sui's fair little hand tightly clutching Su Nan's clothes.
Jiang Shuyue shook her head helplessly, then gently pulled Su Nan's clothes out.
Su Nan gently touched Sui Sui's chubby little hand, then tiptoed out of the room.
In the candlelight, Jiang Shuyue leaned down and gazed at her son. Sui Sui's long eyelashes were like butterfly wings, and his delicate, sculpted face looked exactly like the man on horseback.
It's a coincidence!
still……
Jiang Shuyue's thoughts were like plucked strings on a musical instrument, chaotic and disordered.
It's like a stone being thrown into a calm lake; ripples appear and then linger for a long time.
A moment later, Jiang Shuyue gently patted her face.
Wake up! That person looks like someone of high status. Even if it really is him, so what?
That man was clearly a wealthy and powerful person; he must already have a large number of wives and concubines in his harem.
If it really is him, he would certainly not allow his bloodline to flow outside.
The thought of someone trying to take her son tugged at Jiang Shuyue's heartstrings.
Thinking that they were just passing by, or perhaps just people who looked similar, her heart finally settled back down.
The door was bolted, and he slipped into the space.
After washing up in the room, I wrung out my hair until it was half dry and changed into clean pajamas.
Once outside the space, holding her soft, cuddly son, Sui Sui's faint fragrance was the best lullaby, and Jiang Shuyue quickly drifted off to sleep.
The next morning, Jiang Shuyue saw that everyone had changed into decent silk clothes and looked completely different, no longer resembling refugees.
Wearing new clothes, Su Hui was radiant, graceful, and dignified.
Even if she stands still without saying a word, her charming and gentle appearance makes everyone think she is a lady from a respectable family.
Oh, no, the beaded hair ornaments in her hair are too old.
With a thought, Jiang Shuyue produced a crimson gold magpie pearl flower from her sleeve.
“Our little sister Hui’er looks so pretty in her new clothes, and she looks even better with this beaded flower on.”
“Sister, you mustn’t. You gave me a gold hairpin when I came of age. How can I accept your jewelry again?”
Before Su Hui could dodge, Jiang Shuyue inserted the pearl flower into Su Hui's hair bun.
"Sister Hui'er, please don't be so formal. A young lady should always dress up nicely."
"Thank you, Yue'er, quickly."
Aunt Su could never refuse, so she simply accepted it without hesitation. In her heart, she had long regarded Jiang Shuyue as her own child.
"Thank you, elder sister." Su Hui bowed gently.
It is said that clothes make the man and gold make the Buddha. Su Jin, dressed in new clothes, was handsome and elegant. The hairband on his head fell down his black hair to his shoulders, making him look like a gentle and refined scholar.
Su Huai-ren possessed a refined and scholarly demeanor, and the hardships of his life left deep marks on his face.
It feels like just yesterday that I was full of youthful vigor.
"A mind enriched with poetry and literature naturally exudes elegance"—this perfectly describes him.
Lin Miaoshou changed into a clean cotton outfit, with a bundle slung over her shoulder and a bamboo hat in her hand.
Seeing Jiang Shuyue looking over, he smiled awkwardly: "The clothes that Miss Jiang helped me pick out fit me very well. I need to travel today, so I feel more comfortable wearing this outfit."
"Sister, I'll go change it back."
As Su Nan was about to turn around, Su Jin grabbed him and said, "No need. Miss Qiuju made soft cushions for us, so they won't wear out our clothes."
