Jiang Ruohua looked at the rose cake in her hand with regret: "No one eats it, why don't you throw it away."
When Hu Xingxing heard that it was going to be thrown away, she was unhappy. She immediately snatched it away and said a few words: "I hate young ladies like you from wealthy families the most. You have no idea how many people in places like this can't even afford a bite of the crumbs. You just throw it away. What a waste!"
Then she picked up a piece and took a big bite. Her face was instantly filled with smiles, and she almost laughed. She squinted her eyes as if she was about to fall into a honey pot, and couldn't help but say: "It's delicious!"
Jiang Ruohua stood beside her and leaned her head: "Sister, don't you dislike sweet food?"
Hu Xingxing's expression tensed, and then she suddenly realized: "You are fooling me again!"
Jiang Ruohua didn't say anything, but the corners of her mouth could not help but rise. It was very interesting that she couldn't really fool Hu Xingxing like this. She liked to see Hu Xingxing like this recently. She was obviously very greedy but she had to be stubborn for once.
But she has been much better recently. She could pretend for a while before, but recently she realized that she was always playing tricks on her like this, so she got used to it and let it go.
Hu Xingxing snorted while wrapping the rose pastry, and didn't be polite to Jiang Ruohua anymore. Who made the snacks Jiang Ruohua brought every day so delicious and varied? It's delicious!
But just when she was about to eat the second piece, the rose cake in her hand was snatched away. Xu Weiqing held the oil paper bag in one hand and a pot of wine in the other, and stuffed the rose cake into his mouth without cherishing it. At Hu Xingxing's extremely reluctant voice, he frowned, chewed it twice and spit it out. He threw the rest away and stepped on it hard when it fell under his feet!
"It's so disgusting, so sweet!" Hu Xingxing's happiness was gone under his feet.
But Xu Weiqing didn't care. He drank two sips of wine while listening to Hu Xingxing crying and scolded her: "Why are you crying? Don't you mind your own noise all day long!"
This was not the first time such a thing happened. Jiang Ruohua pursed her lips. She could predict what Xu Weiqing would say next.
"You just bring two pieces of broken cakes every day. You are a young girl with simple skills, but you are good at buying people's hearts. You are so young, but you are stained with the stench of the nobility!"
She shrugged. Similar words can be heard almost every day. Xu Weiqing seems to hate everything in this world. In Jiang Ruhua's view, he seems to hate any good thing. Whether it is the glamor of the nobility, the wealth of the rich, or the warmth of ordinary people, or the little happiness of the poor, he seems to be disgusted with it. A pack of snacks, obviously nothing is wrong, but in Xu Weiqing's mouth, it seems like a heinous crime.
Crazy, sick, evil, almost everyone who meets Xu Weiqing has such an impression of him.
But it has nothing to do with her.
Apart from martial arts training, she would not have any additional contact with Xu Weiqing. Even if they had opposite ideas, Jiang Ruohua did not think it was necessary to argue about it. Even if she won the argument and proved that her theory was correct, would Xu Weiqing change? If
she had the time to do these things, she might as well strengthen her own strength. Xu Weiqing's words were just for listening. She was too lazy to take it to heart. After all, it was not worth getting angry about it.
After all, how could the once world-famous champion not understand the principles that even children understand? Xu Weiqing was better off now than he was now. Why did he fall into such a situation today? He had his own helplessness and choice. It was hard for a teenager like her to comfort someone who had lived for decades.
Moreover, if she is not careful, she will anger Xu Weiqing. She can't beat him, so why bother? Even if she wants to meddle in other people's business, she should wait until she has the ability to do so.
Hu Xingxing was still crying, and Xu Weiqing had already started to beat her. It is true that he is really capable, but Xu Weiqing never takes the initiative to teach anything. How much you can learn depends on how much you can understand from the beatings and scoldings.
Exhausted, Jiang Ruohua returned home in the night. As usual, she took a bath, applied medicine, and then had a good rest.
The next morning, Huachan and Yinqiu's brother Erlin went out to deliver invitations to Xie Shuyan and others. Just after breakfast, something happened to Aunt Yuan.
Fortunately, Jiang Ruohua went to visit Aunt Yuan almost every day. As soon as she heard that something had happened, she went there immediately. Aunt Yuan was sitting on the bed, and her face did not look very good. After Jiang Ruohua rushed over, she frowned slightly and said, "What's the matter?"
"Miss, Aunt was scared." The maid serving Aunt Yuan came to Jiang Ruohua with a bowl of pregnancy-preserving medicine and said, "According to the eldest lady's instructions, someone has to test the medicine before Aunt uses it every day. Today, the taste doesn't seem right..." Jiang
Ruohua knew how much Aunt Yuan was counting on the child in her belly. The pregnancy-preserving medicine was measured in large quantities and boiled according to the doctor's instructions. There would be no mistakes. If the taste was wrong, she would naturally suspect that someone had tampered with the medicine.
Aunt Yuan was sitting on the bed at this moment, her face was pale. Jiang Ruohua signaled to the maid to take the pregnancy-preserving medicine, then comforted her
: "Don't worry, aunt, I will ask someone to check it out, and I will definitely not let anyone harm my brother." This made Aunt Yuan feel a little relieved. Jiang Ruohua sat in Aunt Yuan's room and said: "Keep this medicine well. Go and bring the residue and the servants who boiled medicine for Aunt Yuan today. Then go and ask the palace doctor to see what was added to the medicine."
Yinqiu stood beside her and shouted at the other servants: "Hurry up!"
The servants did not dare to delay, and hurried to do as Jiang Ruohua said. The medicine bowl was also handed from Aunt Yuan's personal maid to Yinqiu.
Jiang Ruohua was drinking tea. She had only taken over this matter not long ago. It was reasonable that the Third Madam would not be unable to restrain herself, let alone resort to such methods. It was most likely a misunderstanding. Perhaps the servant who boiled the medicine was careless and put the wrong thing in. It was also possible that.
While waiting, she rubbed the filigree gold bracelet on her wrist. If she were the Third Madam, the best time to take action would be when the baby was about to be born, or after the birth. Whether it was a double death or the baby died soon after birth, it would be normal for Aunt Yuan to die with sadness in the eyes of the outside world.
As an unmarried girl, she had no idea about childbirth. Any mistakes could be blamed on her ignorance. Although it was not easy to blame an unmarried girl, it was enough to double her pressure. After the Third Madam solved the illegitimate child and cleaned up the mess for her, she would become more dependent on her after the setback. After all, by that time,
only by hiding behind the Third Madam could she avoid being gossiped by others.
"Miss, the person is here."
As several servants brought in a little girl, Jiang Ruohua came out of her calculations and lowered her head slightly to ask the girl, "Were you responsible for making the pregnancy-preserving medicine for Aunt Yuan?"
