Shopkeeper He could hardly believe what he was hearing. He glanced at the hooded man in disbelief, but the hooded man didn't react. Shopkeeper He then left, feeling uneasy.
Since Duobaoge was alright, Bai Nuo was very happy. She gave Qinghe a holiday and invited Jiang Sanniang, Hu Mingmei, and others to stay at her home.
Early the next morning, Bai Nuo led his men up the mountain to go hunting.
Bai Nuo doesn't know how to hunt, but Hu Mingmei and the others do. Lu Ying and Xia Donglai are both martial arts masters, and even someone as weak as Hu Mingmei can hunt.
Bai Nuo thought the crisp autumn air was perfect for an autumn outing, so he invited everyone along. —Although this autumn outing was different from others.
Upon hearing this, they naturally agreed.
Hu Mingmei and the others were men, so they were naturally very interested in this kind of fighting and killing. Although Jiang Sanniang was a woman, she also wanted to get out and relax, so she brought her younger sister along.
Although Jiang Qiao'er, Qinghe, and Bai Yu are all around the same age, in Hu Mingmei's eyes they are just children. Even though they are not going to hunt in the deep mountains and forests, there is still a certain degree of danger involved.
So no matter what the three of them said, Hu Mingmei didn't bring them along, not even Bai Nuo and Jiang San Niang.
Bai Nuo pleaded in vain. She was the one who started this whole thing, but now she couldn't go. Bai Nuo was incredibly frustrated.
Seeing Bai Nuo looking downcast, Hu Mingmei reached out and patted Bai Nuo's head. "Sweetie, if you want to ride a horse, I'll take you riding one in the future. You're a young lady, and your health isn't very good. You can't go to dangerous places. If something happens, I won't be able to protect you!"
Bai Nuo couldn't help but pout. What did they mean by not being in good health? When was she ever not in good health? Wasn't it just that they thought she was in their way?
In the past, Bai Nuo's coquettishness and cuteness were very effective for Hu Mingmei, but this time, no matter how much Bai Nuo coquettishly acted, Hu Mingmei managed to keep her there.
"Alright!" Jiang Sanniang smiled when she saw Bai Nuo staring at Hu Mingmei's dashing figure with wide eyes. "Although it's autumn now and winter is coming soon, hunting is still somewhat dangerous. He doesn't want you to go because he cares about you. Let's not go and cause them any trouble."
"Who?" Upon hearing this, Bai Nuo immediately turned to look at Jiang San Niang and asked with a hint of gossip, "Are you interested in considering Lu Ying? I just saw Lu Ying staring at you for a long time!"
Jiang San Niang's face flushed and burned at the mention of Lu Ying. Her eyes darted around, avoiding Bai Nuo's gaze, and she said coquettishly, "Bai Nuo, what nonsense are you talking about? How could someone like me be worthy of him?"
When Jiang San Niang said this, she felt bitter. Yes, she was already so broken and battered, how could she still dare to think about such a person?
Therefore, although Jiang San Niang had some affection for Lu Ying, she never dared to get close to him.
Bai Nuo's words were just a casual joke, but he didn't expect them to cause Jiang Sanniang such grief and regret. He grabbed Jiang Sanniang's hand and comforted her, "What's wrong with someone like you? In my eyes, you are reliable and capable, and you're good-looking and have a great personality. Whoever marries you will be very lucky! If Lu Ying dares to look down on you, just tell me, and I'll be the first to break her legs!"
“I have a terrible past and I even had a miscarriage. I’m afraid I’m not good enough for him!” Jiang San Niang’s face was bitter, and she looked very sad.
When Bai Nuo heard this, for some reason, she felt that Jiang San Niang and Lu Ying probably knew something that others didn't, so she tentatively asked, "Then tell me, is he good to you?"
Jiang San Niang hesitated for a moment before nodding.
In her mind, Lu Ying's face came to mind. On this matter, Jiang San Niang was indeed neither lying nor exaggerating. In their limited interactions, Lu Ying had been very kind to her, not only considerate but also helping her out of trouble at every turn.
She wasn't a young girl, and she vaguely sensed Lu Ying's feelings for her, but that's why Jiang San Niang became increasingly uneasy.
Seeing that she nodded, Bai Nuo said, "Alright, alright, who can say for sure about matters of fate? If Lu Ying really likes you, he naturally won't mind such issues. You don't need to belittle yourself like that; it's not your fault!"
The mistake was made by Yu Ziqing; Jiang San Niang had no reason to sacrifice her life for someone else's mistake.
While comforting Jiang Sanniang, Bai Nuo was thinking that she should ask Hu Mingmei about this matter when she had time, and have Hu Mingmei ask Lu Ying for his opinion. If both of them were interested, they should get engaged as soon as possible, instead of dragging it out and making Jiang Sanniang feel anxious and conflicted.
Isn't this torture?
"By the way, the main reason I called you all here today is to talk to you about our cooperation!"
"Cooperation?" Jiang Sanniang looked at her suspiciously. "Cooperation with what? You want me to help you sell jewelry?"
Bai Nuo shook her head. She could sell her jewelry herself. "That's not the problem. Isn't it autumn now? Winter will be here soon, so I want to make thermal underwear. You know, my store has three floors, and I'll be working on the second floor soon. This will keep me quite busy."
Bai Nuo spoke of this matter with some uncertainty. Although it was a collaboration, if the two decided to work together, Jiang San Niang would have to give up San Niang Cloth Shop. Although it didn't matter where Jiang San Niang sold cloth, San Niang Cloth Shop was still her parents' ancestral property, and she wouldn't be willing to give it up either.
