Chapter 16 Who is Jiang Wan?
"No."
Xiao Deng shook his head. He didn't believe Jiang Wan was such a person, but if she really ran away, he really couldn't do anything.
"You just met her, how can you know her character? Maybe she saved you just for this opportunity."
Old Zhang is older than Xiao Deng. He has been escorting prisoners to exile for many years. He has seen a lot of people and understands the unpredictable human nature.
Xiao Deng bit his lip in silence, not knowing how to defend himself. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he grinned.
"Old Zhang, you really made a mistake this time."
Old Zhang followed his gaze and saw Jiang Wan jogging towards him with bags, a smile on her face.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting. I bought a lot of things."
Jiang Wan seemed unable to understand Lao Zhang's complicated expression. She put the things on the ox cart where they stored the supplies and climbed on.
Lao Zhang pulled up the corners of his lips and revealed a smile, "Now that everyone is here, let's go back!"
After saying that, he whipped the ox, and without looking at Jiang Wan, drove the ox cart towards the inn.
When they returned to the inn, they happened to see everyone queuing up to get their lunch porridge, and Mrs. Song quickly waved to Jiang Wan.
"Wanwan, come quickly."
"Mom, I've eaten."
Jiang Wan didn't go over to eat, but went back to the room. Song Jiuyuan hadn't gotten up yet on the big bunk bed. He had been lying there because he had been beaten.
At this moment, Song Jiuchi was feeding him porridge, and Jiang Wan took out two steamed buns from her bag and handed them to him.
"Well, drink it with porridge."
"Thanks!"
Song Jiuyuan took the steamed bun and ate it slowly, still looking at her with an extremely complicated look. Jiang Wan pretended not to see it and she didn't worry about it anymore.
Since someone came to give her money last night, she was afraid that ointments and other things would be indispensable. She finally didn't have to worry about Song Jiuyuan dying.
But she never expected that Song Jiuli would come to apologize to her before leaving.
"I'm sorry, what happened before was my fault."
She lowered her head and looked only at her toes. Madam Song, who was not far away, kept sticking her head out to observe this side. Jiang Wan knew that Madam Song was probably asking Song Jiuli to apologize.
But it was still unknown what Song Jiuli was thinking, so Jiang Wan raised her lips and smiled.
"What is it you're talking about?"
Jiang Wan gave a nasty smile, "Are you calling me a jinx? Or do you not believe that I picked medicinal herbs, or that you shouldn't go against me?"
Her words made Song Jiuli look up suddenly. She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth:
"Jiang Wan, don't go too far!"
She has already bowed her head to apologize, doesn't Jiang Wan know how to stop while she's ahead?
Oh, with just this little bit of skill, it's not even enough for her to play with. Jiang Wan chuckled:
"I don't accept your half-hearted apology."
"you……"
Song Jiuli was so angry that her teeth were chattering, but it was no use. Jiang Wan carried the package and walked out of the inn as if nothing had happened.
When it was time to set out again, Jiang Wan discovered that their team had been joined by several officials and exiled prisoners.
It's easy to guess that they are probably members of the Chen family, but they are a bit far away, so Jiang Wan can't ask too much for the time being.
At this time, Madam Song asked Song Jiuli worriedly, "How is it, have you apologized?"
"Mom, I apologized as you said, but Jiang Wan didn't accept it!"
Song Jiuli pouted in grievance. She felt that she had suffered more injustice in the past two days than in the previous fifteen years.
Mrs. Song frowned and asked doubtfully, "Could it be that you are not sincere enough?"
"Mom, why don't you say that Jiang Wan is narrow-minded!"
Song Jiuli stomped her feet in anger. Her mother was becoming more and more partial to Jiang Wan, which made her so angry.
Mrs. Song twitched her lips speechlessly, "Your mother doesn't understand your temper. Our family is now supported by your sister-in-law.
Don't cause me any trouble, and apologize to me properly later!"
Song Jiuli: ...
She was almost going crazy, but all the servants in their family had been sold out, so she had to do everything herself every day. Song Jiuli was in agony.
On the other side, Song Jiuchi was carrying Song Jiuyuan on his back. Song Jiuyuan glanced sideways at Jiang Wan who was walking beside him with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Jiang Wan touched her face. Did she not wash her face thoroughly this morning? That shouldn't be the case. She used the facial cleanser from the space.
Song Jiuyuan has always been a man of few words, but now he couldn't help but speak: "I always feel that you are different from the Jiang Wan of the past."
The Jiang Wan of the past was like a vase, chasing after him all day long, but that was the Jiang Wan of a few years ago.
He had been at the border for the past few years, and when he came back, he encountered her confessing her love to him in public, and then she drugged him to tarnish his reputation, forcing him to marry her.
Then came exile. To be honest, they didn't have a chance to talk calmly when they met again.
Jiang Wan's expression froze slightly. Of course it was different. She was not the original owner, but...
I couldn’t tell him that I was a time traveler, so Jiang Wan took a deep breath.
"As I said before, I have to change. After all, I have severed my relationship with the Shangshu Mansion, and my husband's family has been exiled, so I must be strong."
Song Jiuyuan: ...
So it’s true that she was pretentious before, and she is now the real her. But the real her is actually more likable than her before.
"laugh……"
Song Jiuchi, who was carrying Song Jiuyuan on his back, sneered. He disliked Jiang Wan from the bottom of his heart, but he had also seen Jiang Wan's efforts in the past two days.
So even though he was still unhappy, he didn't say anything bad.
Seeing that Jiang Wan's relationship with the people in the first house was getting better and better, and now they were even talking and laughing, Chen Qian turned around and was so angry that she bit her teeth.
This reached its peak when she learned that Song Jiuli apologized, "Li'er, you didn't do anything wrong? She should be the one to apologize!"
"My mother asked me to apologize."
Song Jiuli sighed. In fact, she also realized that she shouldn't speak so viciously. After all, she was her eldest brother's wife.
It’s just because that person is Jiang Wan that she sometimes can’t help it.
"My aunt is going too far."
Chen Qian was speaking up for Song Jiuli, "You are her daughter, who the hell is Jiang Wan?"
Song Jiuli didn't say anything. No matter how stupid she was, she realized that Chen Qian had bad intentions, so she just smiled.
"I think you are used to being bullied."
Chen Qian tapped Song Jiuli's forehead unhappily, as if they were very familiar with each other, and she even stuffed a piece of dessert into Song Jiuli's hand.
"I just asked the officer to buy this for you. Please eat it quickly."
"Thank you, second sister-in-law."
Song Jiuli's heart moved slightly. Could it be that she misunderstood Chen Qian? This person is quite nice, unlike Jiang Wan, who was unwilling to share a little chicken with her.
Jiang Wan had no idea that her sister-in-law was almost bribed by a piece of cake again. This time she was well prepared and even gave everyone a bamboo tube to hold water.
She picked some wild vegetables on the way. At this time, Song Jiuli was smarter. Seeing Jiang Wan picking, she followed suit.
She did not forget that Jiang Wan said she had not forgiven her, so she had to do it herself to avoid feeling jealous when Jiang Wan was eating.
