It was not until Song Shiwei was three years old that the news of Jiang Zhaorong's promotion to marrying the Grand Tutor's daughter spread like wildfire and reached Du Wen's ears. Only then did Du Wen finally give up.
At that time, news came that her husband died while saving Jiang Zhaorong. Du Wen felt even more desperate and fell ill overnight.
When Jiang Zhaorong came to see her again, Du Wen was already terminally ill and incurable.
"I don't blame you," Jiang Zhaorong still remembered the way she smiled at him while lying in bed, seriously ill. "I was greedy. You saved my life, but I still dreamed of those things. Now, this is all my retribution."
"I have also raised your daughter for you, which is a complete repayment of your kindness."
"Zhao Rong, we are now even."
The sound of knocking on the door brought Jiang Zhaorong back to his senses. The gentleness in his eyes suddenly turned into a sharpness. He put the letter away and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Master, Aunt Tao has personally cooked a table of dishes and sent me to invite you to have dinner with her."
Jiang Zhaorong's eyes flashed with impatience, and he made a very soft "tsk" sound, but what he said was: "I know, I'll go there later."
The person outside the door responded, and after the noise died down, Jiang Zhaorong stood up, took a look at where the letter was placed, and turned to leave.
After he closed the door and left, a figure quietly climbed in...
After the meal, with Taohong always serving him at his side, Jiang Zhaorong felt relieved and went down the stairs. He was affectionate with her for a long time, and then asked someone to bring the child over. He played with the child for a while and spent some warm parent-child time together.
However, Jiang Zhaorong did have some official business to deal with today. Half of the ministers in the court were missing, and the burdens on the remaining people were not clear.
After resting for a while, Jiang Zhaorong returned to the study.
He glanced at the desk and paused.
The person hiding in the dark took a breath.
But before long, Jiang Zhaorong walked over with a normal expression, as if he hadn't noticed anything.
…
The chef in charge of cooking in the Xu family is called A Yuan. As the saying goes, nine out of ten chefs are fat, and he is no exception.
It seemed to be particularly cold today. A Yuan was woken up by the cold in his sleep. In a daze, he saw a window was open, and got up to close it, cursing.
After closing the door, I turned around and saw a figure sitting at the table. It was pitch black and I couldn't see anything clearly.
A Yuan was startled and the sleepiness flew away as if it had wings.
The big round eyes stared at him, looking exceptionally clear-headed.
"Who are you? How did you get in? What do you want?"
He said as he moved cautiously towards the door.
He Yanting saw his movements clearly but did not stop him. He said softly, "I think your cooking skills are amazing. Would you like to follow me?"
A Yuan: “???”
He paused in his movement.
Follow him? But he doesn't look like a good person at first glance...
A Yuan was thinking, and He Yanting seemed to know what he was thinking and put a bulging bag on the table.
A Yuan: “…”
He walked over tentatively, opened the bag tremblingly, and was almost blinded by the gold bars inside.
His hands began to tremble uncontrollably.
This money is enough to buy hundreds of him.
He swallowed his saliva, and his tone became a little flattering: "Sir, let me make it clear first, I will not do anything to harm others."
He still retained some rationality. If this person wanted him to harm the Xu family, he would not do it no matter how much money he was offered.
The Xu family treats me well.
Thinking of this, A Yuan hesitated again.
The masters of the Xu Mansion were the best masters he had ever met.
I wouldn't treat them as non-human beings, beat or scold them like animals, and I would even joke with them in my spare time...
Although the monthly salary is not that much, it is better to live a comfortable life.
This person is obviously a gangster who fights and kills people all the time. It's not worth it to lose his life for money.
Even if you have money, you have to have the life to spend it.
He Yanting also noticed his hesitation and spoke before the hesitation in his eyes turned into determination: "Don't worry, I'm just going to the general's mansion to cook. If it's not enough," he tossed over another bag of gold bars: "Is this enough?"
A Yuan: "...Enough, enough! Young Master is truly generous!"
He smiled so hard that his mouth couldn't close: "Don't worry, sir, I will go tomorrow!"
…
The next morning, after everyone had finished their meal, Xu Yanli looked at A Yuan and whispered, "Have you found a new place?"
A Yuan nodded: "It's the general's mansion."
General's Mansion?
Everyone was stunned, and then looked at Jiang Zhiyu in unison.
Jiang Zhiyu: “???”
【Why are you looking at me? 】
[Why is Yuan leaving? I really like his cooking.]
[But if I go to the General's Mansion, I'll have to find an excuse to eat and drink with my good brothers.]
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces turned unhappy.
Jiang Kangan put down his bowl and chopsticks with a crisp sound.
It seems that the conversation that day had no effect, and this kid has become even worse!
Using this method to attract juvenile fish is disgusting!!!
People’s hearts are evil!!!
Although everyone was disgusted with He Yanting's behavior, no one stopped A Yuan.
Since He Yanting came to poach people, the benefits he offered were naturally excellent.
They can't cut off A Yuan's source of income.
Except for Jiang Zhiyu, everyone else ate without any appetite. After the meal, everyone else had things to deal with, and for a while, only Jiang Kangan and Jiang Zhiyu were left.
Just as Jiang Kang'an was about to leave, another attendant came to report: "The Third Prince wants to see the young lady, saying he has something important to discuss."
Jiang Kangan paused for a moment as he stood up, then sat back down.
After entering the mansion, Jiang Zhiyu saw that Xiao Mingye was not alone, but was accompanied by someone.
【Dog! 】
All of them were angry: "..."
He glared at Xiao Mingye angrily.
What's wrong with this guy? His mouth is like a colander, and all kinds of words come out of it.
Because of his anger, he didn't notice what was wrong.
Jiang Kangan and Xiao Mingye raised the corners of their mouths.
"I heard that Miss Jiang likes vegetarian snacks. It would be rude of us to visit her without a visiting card. As an apology, I hope Miss Jiang will accept these snacks."
Du Chen said softly and secretly stepped on Xiao Mingye.
I told him that the capital is different from Youzhou and that you can't do things casually. But he refused to listen and insisted on coming here so early in the morning. Now he came, and he even called me along!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he stomped on it a few more times.
He did not hold back and stepped down firmly. Xiao Mingye gritted his teeth and the smile on his face was a little ferocious.
The two of them were close to each other, and they were both stepping secretly. With the cover of their robes, it was not easy for them to be discovered.
But the change in Xiao Mingye's expression was too obvious, and it was easy to guess.
【I bumped into it. I bumped into it. 】
All of them were angry: "???"
He could see clearly now, but Jiang Zhiyu clearly didn't say anything, so how did he hear her voice?
