"You... you deserve it!"
Xue Rou looked at her second son, whose skin was torn and flesh was exposed, and felt both distressed and angry.
If Jiang Li hadn't said that he must have fallen in love with Xiao Shan, Jiang Yao would have really wanted to beat him to death.
Xue Rou was really, both angry and amused. After glaring at Jiang Zhou for a few times, she left Jiang Qing to apply medicine on him and took Jiang Li away.
Jiang Zhou lay on the bed, his face pale.
"Brother, be gentle."
Finally, Jiang Zhou couldn't bear it anymore. Was Jiang Zhong applying medicine to him? Why did he feel like Jiang Zhong wanted to hurt him to death?
"Huh, do you feel the pain now?"
Jiang Qing didn't even bother to speak softly. "Aren't you a tough guy? Keep gritting your teeth and don't say a word."
Jiang Zhou: ...
main hall.
Jiang Yao was looking at Xue Rou with a guilty look on his face.
"Madam, I didn't mean it. Who knew that kid..."
It is said that when a child is beaten, the mother feels the pain.
No matter what, Jiang Yao's reaction at that time still scared Xue Rou.
Now that we know it was a misunderstanding, we must apologize sincerely.
"You," Xue Rou didn't know what to say, "Can't you ask clearly before taking action?"
"If he doesn't tell me, how would I know..."
It's funny.
The main reason was that Jiang Zhou had just returned from Black Wind Village and hadn’t figured out his own feelings yet.
But during breakfast, Jiang Yao suddenly mentioned that he had inquired about Xiao Shan's uncle's business failure a few years ago, and his family moved out of the capital and disappeared. Now Xiao Shan is alone and pitiful, so they decided to adopt her as their goddaughter.
The brothers all thought this was a good idea. After all, Jiang Yao and Xiao He were brothers who had fought together on the battlefield. And Xiao Shan looked like a very good girl. In order to save the children, she was willing to stay in the dangerous Black Wind Village. She was worthy of being a descendant of the Xiao family.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhou suddenly put down the bowl and said in a deep voice, "I don't agree."
Jiang Yao was very surprised and thought that the two had some conflict in Black Wind Village.
When asked, Jiang Zhou said that Xiao Shan was a good person and they had no conflicts, but he just didn't agree to them adopting her as their goddaughter.
Jiang Yao was so angry that his blood boiled and he really wanted to beat Jiang Zhou to death on the spot.
Seeing her father's guilty face, Jiang Li had no choice but to speak up for him, "Mom, actually, this is not Dad's fault."
Jiang Yao was about to speak when Xue Rou glared at him and quickly shut her mouth.
"Of course, I can't blame my second brother."
"Love is like this. Maybe my second brother doesn't know what Shanshan feels, so he's worried about saying it out loud. What if Shanshan doesn't feel that way? Wouldn't that make her very embarrassed? Maybe she won't even want to be our goddaughter then."
"But if he doesn't tell me, my parents will adopt Sister Shanshan as their goddaughter right now, and then he won't have any chance at all in the future."
After listening to Jiang Li, Xue Rou also fell silent.
Her sons are good in every way except that their marriages make her worried.
She didn't say anything about the experience she had on the battlefield in the past few years, but now that she is of this age, and other people of the same age even have sons and daughters, they are more clueless than the other.
She was so worried that she felt like she had aged a lot.
"Mom, don't worry."
Jiang Li gave her father a look, asking him to coax her mother. Then Jiang Li said, "Well, I'll go to the inn to find Sister Shanshan and test her feelings towards my second brother."
"If they both have feelings for each other, then it will be easy. But if Sister Shanshan doesn't have that intention, then it won't be too late for you to recognize Sister Shanshan as your goddaughter."
My daughter is more suitable.
Xue Rou nodded quickly after hearing this, "Okay, okay, that's a good idea. I'll have to trouble Li'er to go there."
Xue Rou had met Xiao Shan and knew she was a good girl. If she could really be his wife, it would be a perfect match. However, Jiang Li was right; it all depended on the girl's willingness.
Xiao Shan came to Beijing with Jiang Li and others. From the very beginning, Jiang Yao planned to arrange for Xiao Shan to live in the general's mansion.
However, Xiao Shan felt that although her father and Uncle Jiang were sworn brothers, they were not relatives after all, so it was not appropriate for her to live in the general's mansion rashly. In addition, she had to go look for her uncle, so except for paying her respects at the general's mansion on the day she arrived in Beijing, she stayed at the Fulai Inn on South Street.
“Dongdong——”
There was a knock on the door.
After a while, a woman's voice was heard from inside.
"Sister Shanshan, it's me."
After a few breaths, the door opened.
"Commoner Xiao Shan pays homage to the princess."
Jiang Li supported Xiao Shan who was about to kneel down, "Sister Shanshan, why are you being so polite to me?"
After she finished speaking, Jiang Li realized that the woman's eyes were red, as if she had been crying for a long time.
"Sister Shanshan, what's wrong with you? Did someone bully you?"
Jiang Li remembered that the General's Mansion had sent people to watch over this area, so how could it be...
"Don't worry, Princess. No one is bullying me."
After pouring tea for Jiang Li, Xiao Shan said, "I originally wanted to go to Beijing to look for my relatives, but I didn't expect that my uncle's family has completely disappeared. I feel... I feel like I'm the only one left in this world."
Although she lost her father when she was young, her mother was with her as she grew up.
Later, her mother passed away. Although she was very sad, her uncle was still alive. Relying on this belief, she traveled through mountains and rivers and finally arrived in the capital.
But unexpectedly, even the last relatives could not be found.
After saying this, Xiao Shan suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She quickly wiped her tears and said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Princess."
I have to say that Aunt Xiao really raised Xiao Shan very well.
She has a passionate and righteous heart, as well as the dignity and courtesy of a young lady from a noble family.
No wonder her stupid brother fell in love with Xiao Shan so quickly.
"Sister Shanshan, my father said that our two families are old friends. You don't have to be so polite in front of me."
"Besides, I came here today to ask Sister Shanshan for help."
Seeing Xiao Shan looking at her in confusion, Jiang Li's expression changed and she said sadly, "Sister Shanshan, it's my second brother...my second brother..."
Half an hour later.
When Xiao Shan rushed into Jiang Zhou's yard, Jiang Zhou had just fallen asleep after applying the medicine.
When I pushed open Jiang Zhou's door, I saw the man lying on the bed, his face pale and motionless.
Xiao Shan's eyes instantly fell.
"Jiang Zhou...you..."
Rushing to the bed, Xiao Shan looked at it as if it were a broken doll.
I didn't even dare to touch him.
When Jiang Zhou woke up, he saw Xiao Shan crying with tears all over her face.
"Xiao Shan? Why are you here?"
Jiang Zhou was startled and, ignoring the wound on his back, he instantly climbed up and knelt on the bed.
Xiao Shan said nothing and immediately went forward to hug Jiang Zhou.
"Wow, wow, wow... You're not dead... It's so good..."
"I thought...wuwuwuwuwu...scared me to death..."
"You're going to die... What should I do... You're all I have left... Wuuuuuuu..."
