He didn't say anything, just sat down at the wood-chopping spot and quietly started chopping wood.
Today, he is a good friend who has come to visit her; he can do everything, from fetching water to chopping wood.
Jiang Ting has an exceptional talent for martial arts. His martial arts teacher almost took a liking to him and sent him to study martial arts full-time.
Over the years, he has never stopped training in martial arts.
Chopping firewood is still a simple task.
Before long, he had chopped up all the wood and neatly arranged it in the corner of the yard.
Jiang Tian cooks much faster than she did two years ago.
She was a little surprised to see that he had already chopped the firewood when she came out.
"Young Master Jiang is not a man to be judged by his appearance."
Jiang Tian laughed and then told him to wash his hands and get ready for dinner.
Looking at the dishes on the table, Jiang Ting finished his meal with a sense of cherishing it.
After finishing their meal, the two sat in the courtyard and chatted.
"Are you going to live in Jiangnan permanently from now on?" Jiang Ting asked her.
It was already dark, but Jiang Ting didn't want to leave now.
The lights were on in the courtyard, creating a tranquil and beautiful atmosphere.
Jiang Tian nodded, a slight smile playing on her lips: "Yan Jing'an had wanted to take me to live in Jiangnan for a while, but after receiving a letter from Yuwen Zhuo, we went to the capital. I prefer Jiangnan to the capital. I've traveled all over the world, and it's time for me to find a place to settle down. If I want to travel further in the future, I might leave Jiangnan."
"So... you're planning to be all alone?"
Jiang Ting's palms were slightly sweaty when he asked this question.
He didn't know why he was so nervous.
However, to his surprise, Jiang Tian's expression showed a slight smile when this topic was brought up.
As if sensing something, Jiang Ting's gaze was fixed on her: "Have you met the right person?"
After a moment of silence, Jiang Tian couldn't help but laugh. She nodded, "...Yes. He wasn't exactly the right person, but we just happened to run into him. Isn't that a coincidence? I was thinking that I still have decades to live, so I should try to see if I can accept someone. And just at this crucial moment, I met someone."
"I can't say whether I like him or not. Maybe when you've been lonely for a long time, you just want to talk to someone. I don't know if I'll accept him, but since we've met, it must be fate. If he can accept that there will always be someone in my heart, I think it wouldn't hurt to give it a try."
"If you want to curse me, then curse me."
Jiang Tian gazed at the moon in the sky and murmured, "I will never forget him..."
Why did you scold her?
Jiang Ting didn't understand why this woman would think that way.
Throughout history, many men have remarried after their wives passed away, and these stories have been celebrated as beautiful tales.
Jiang Tian has already done enough for Yan Jing'an.
Before his death, Yan Jing'an couldn't stop thinking about Jiang Tian, and he dreamed that she would remarry.
She is too young.
At the age of twenty-something, to have to wait for Yan Jing'an for decades more would be a punishment.
How could someone who truly loves her bear to let her spend the rest of her life alone?
Jiang Ting was very pleased that she was willing to step out of her shell.
But he couldn't deny that the moment Jiang Tian confirmed his guess, he felt a sharp, stabbing pain in his heart.
"He won't blame you, and I won't scold you either. We both hope you'll be alright."
Jiang Tian turned to look at him, tears welling in her eyes: "Yes, I know, he won't blame me... He's so good..."
Her voice grew softer and softer, as if she didn't want to say anything more, because if she did, some wounds would be reopened and start bleeding again.
"So I'm planning to give it a try with him, and if it doesn't work out, so be it. To be honest, just thinking about it makes me a little resistant. If it doesn't work out, I won't hold him back."
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Tian forced a smile again.
"...What does that person do?" Jiang Ting asked her, his voice tense.
Jiang Tian lowered her head, seemingly lost in thought.
"...He was a scholar, good at poetry and prose, but he failed the imperial examinations repeatedly, which delayed his marriage."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ting's pupils dilated.
Seemingly sensing his shock, Jiang Tian raised her head again and smiled weakly, "Don't worry, I won't find a substitute. That would tarnish our relationship. He's different from Yan Jing'an. He's more honest, has never been engaged or married, and is extremely respectful to me—"
As she was talking, Jiang Tian didn't want to continue.
Jiang Ting didn't want to listen anymore.
Should he be happy for Jiang Tian?
He could tell that Jiang Tian was still resistant to finding someone else.
It can be said that they were very resistant.
But she is trying hard to take that step.
"Can I go see him? Brother Yan asked me to take care of you, so I have to keep an eye on things for you."
Jiang Tian was somewhat surprised, and she couldn't help but look at Jiang Ting.
Jiang Ting didn't avoid her gaze; he really wanted to see that person.
He didn't want Jiang Tian to settle for less.
Jiang Tian finally nodded slowly: "If you want to see it, then take a look—"
Soon, the man's background was fully investigated.
Jiang Ting carefully read through each page.
To be honest, this person is not bad.
From a worldly perspective, he has a clean background and his daily conduct is impeccable.
His relatives and friends never spoke ill of him.
Compared to those scoundrels, he was an upright person.
Jiang Tian's taste isn't that bad.
But--
Jiang Ting continued reading, his gaze freezing.
