Chapter 327: Living here is bad for your reputation
"Ruhua, don't force yourself."
Madam Song stopped Song Jiuli from helping her pick up the dishes, "It's most important to find the one that suits you, isn't it?"
The double meaning made Jiang Ruhua's eyelashes tremble slightly, and her hand holding the chopsticks paused.
"Aunt Song, I still want to try."
Jiang Ruhua forced a smile, and everyone at the table fell silent.
It was Song Qing who spoke first, "Ruhua, you are not in good health. I have to take good care of you for your father."
"Sister Ruhua, try this Tremella soup, it's suitable for you."
Song Jiuchi handed Jiang Ruhua a bowl filled with freshly stewed white fungus.
Jiang Ruhua then smiled sincerely, "Thank you Jiuchi for always thinking of me."
"You're welcome. It was Sister Wanwan who said that it's good for women to eat more Tremella fuciformis."
Song Jiuchi scratched his ears, and Jiang Ruhua's newly risen joy was almost extinguished.
Especially when Song Jiuyuan told her to live in another house, this sadness reached its peak.
"Ruhua, I have a house in another part of the city. You can live there for a while."
Song Jiuyuan seemed not to notice her displeasure, gave Jiang Wan a reassuring look, and continued:
"The situation in the capital city is a bit complicated now. I will send someone to protect you."
"Brother Yuan, I'm not afraid."
Jiang Ruhua said anxiously, "I can live with Li'er."
"Yes, big brother, it's okay for Sister Ruhua to live with me."
Song Jiuli didn't understand why her elder brother did this, but Madam Song agreed.
"Yuan'er is right. Safety is one thing, and another thing is that Yuan'er and Jiuchi haven't gotten married yet.
It's not good for your reputation if you live here."
Song Qing opened his mouth to say something, but Madam Song glared at him, so he had no choice but to shut up.
"Aunt Song, it's okay."
Jiang Ruhua pursed her lips and said, "I used to live with Li'er as well."
"That's different."
Madam Song sighed, "You were still young then, but now you are all old enough to get married.
A girl's reputation is the most important thing, I can't let it delay you."
"Aunt Song, actually I..."
Jiang Ruhua's cheeks turned red when she heard that. Just as she was about to say something, Song Qing on the opposite side suddenly spoke in surprise.
"Oh, you reminded me, lady!"
Everyone looked at him in confusion, only to see Song Qing's burning eyes fixed on Jiang Ruhua, and then at Song Jiuchi.
"Our Jiuchi has just reached the age to discuss marriage. Ruhua, what do you think of Jiuchi?"
Everyone:!!!
Not to mention that Song Jiuchi himself was confused, even Jiang Wan was a little confused by Song Qing.
If nothing unexpected happens, Song Jiuchi and Qi Chu are a pair of bickering lovers. Isn't this... a random matchmaking?
Jiang Ruhua, who had been expectant at first, completely fell from her face and she glanced at Song Jiuyuan cautiously.
Finding that he had no reaction and was still taking good care of Jiang Wan, Song Jiuchi suddenly stood up as if his hair stood on end.
"Dad, you...how can you talk nonsense!"
Perhaps because he was afraid that it would be too obvious and make Jiang Ruhua lose face, Song Jiuchi said speechlessly:
"Sister Ruhua doesn't like me like this!"
“Uncle Song, I…I am older than Jiuchi.”
Jiang Ruhua lowered her eyes and her cheeks were rosy, which made Song Qing think that she was shy, so he said excitedly
"One year older is nothing, I..."
"Shut up."
Mrs. Song could no longer bear it and glared at Song Qing angrily. Then she said to Jiang Ruhua apologetically:
"Ruhua, your uncle is talking nonsense, don't take it to heart."
"Yes, yes, my father was talking nonsense."
Song Jiuchi felt so uncomfortable that the food in his mouth lost its taste and he wanted to leave the table immediately.
Jiang Ruhua also felt bored and said quietly, "It's okay."
Looking at her aggrieved look, Jiang Wan doubted herself for a moment.
It seemed that she didn't target her, but Song Jiuyuan's attitude in dealing with his love rival made her quite satisfied.
"What's irrelevant?"
Suddenly a hearty voice was heard, and everyone looked up and saw a hurried figure.
The man had handsome features and a smile on his face as he walked into the restaurant.
"Cheng Jin!"
Song Jiuyuan stood up in surprise. Jiang Wan was also shocked. She had some impression of this person.
He was a good brother of Song Jiuyuan in the original book. He helped Song Jiuyuan a lot in the later period. Unfortunately, he could not defeat the male protagonist's law and ended up in a miserable state.
"Why are you so surprised?"
Cheng Jin patted Song Jiuyuan on the shoulder and looked up at Jiang Ruhua.
"Ruhua, didn't you tell them that we came here together?"
"I……"
Jiang Ruhua bit her lip apologetically, "I forgot. I'm sorry, Brother Cheng Jin."
She was so excited to see Brother Yuan that she almost forgot that Brother Cheng Jin had gone out to do some personal business.
"You guys came together?"
Song Jiuyuan glanced at Jiang Ruhua, who seemed to be feeling a little guilty, and was about to say something when Cheng Jin immediately said:
"Yes, but I went to take care of some personal matters. Ruhua may have forgotten to tell you because she hasn't seen you for a long time."
He dotes on Jiang Ruhua very much. This was Jiang Wan’s first impression.
The second feeling was that the look in his eyes was mysterious, so Song Jiuyuan introduced Jiang Wan to him.
"Cheng Jin, this is Jiang Wan, it's me..."
Song Jiuyuan paused for a few seconds, then realized that they were going to divorce, and simply said to Jiang Wan:
"Cheng Jin, it was his idea to do mischief when I was a kid."
Jiang Wan nodded slightly as a greeting.
"Song Jiuyuan, please don't wrongly accuse me!"
Cheng Jin was so angry that he jumped up and down, but Song Qing still held Song Jiuyuan back.
"You kid, you finally get to see Cheng Jin, what are you talking about?"
"Uncle Song!!!"
Cheng Jin then noticed Song Qing and was surprised. After all, in the eyes of the people in Kyoto, Song Qing had been missing for a long time.
Jiang Ruhua said hurriedly: "It's Uncle Song. I was also surprised to see him, but I was more happy."
"Don't report my father's affairs back to Kyoto yet."
Song Jiuyuan looked serious, and Cheng Jin and Jiang Ruhua would certainly not do anything rash.
Madam Song asked the servants in the mansion to add a pair of chopsticks. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Cheng Jin sat on the other side of Song Jiuyuan.
"What were you talking about just now?"
Jiang Ruhua was afraid that Song Qing would bring up her marriage with Song Jiuchi again, so she immediately said:
"Brother Yuan told me to live in another house of his in the city."
"Why live anywhere else? Your yard is so big, can't it accommodate us?"
Cheng Jin glanced at Jiang Wan meaningfully. Jiang Wan was eating his food slowly.
She didn't intend to get involved in this matter, as it had nothing to do with her.
"It's a bad reputation for her."
Song Jiuyuan frowned. He admitted that he had selfish motives and didn't want Wanwan to misunderstand him.
Cheng Jin grinned nonchalantly, "What's wrong with that? We are both unmarried, so it's okay if we fall in love with each other."
"Sister Ruhua can live with me."
Song Jiuli expressed her opinion weakly and received a warning look from Madam Song.
"Cheng Jin!"
Song Jiuyuan gnashed his teeth and said, "You are innocent, but will it affect the woman's marriage?"
