Chapter 55 Chapter 55
Jiang Jingchun didn't know why Gu Huaisheng was here.
But obviously this was not what she expected.
Song Xuan'an and Chen Muqing, who were following behind, were also stunned.
Why is Gu Huaisheng here?
He looked like he was waiting here specifically.
So from this perspective, it wasn't anyone's fault for losing the bet on those dishes; it turned out that they were all ordered by him.
Jiang Jingchun didn't say anything about this sudden situation. After all, Chen Muqing and Song Xuan'an were still there, so it was hard to say anything. She didn't ask why Gu Huaisheng was here, but only asked, "We have already ordered the dishes ourselves, why did you order so much?"
Gu Huaisheng couldn't stop smiling when he heard this, and said confidently, "Since I met my wife and her friends here, I have to entertain them. If you guys eat, then naturally, as a husband, I have to pay for it."
Isn't it natural for a husband to pay his wife?
There's nothing wrong with him doing this.
These words are meant to be subtle, and I don't mean to show off anything.
Gu Huaisheng had a nice smile, but the expressions of the other three people were not very good.
Jiang Jingchun couldn't stand him being like this. She didn't know if it was her illusion or something, but she felt that everything he said was weird.
She wanted to hide it, but she was discovered. But since she had met them, there was nothing to hide. Jiang Jingchun said goodbye to the two people and pulled Gu Huaisheng's sleeve to go out.
Gu Huaisheng remained silent. He asked with a smile, "Aren't you guys going to play somewhere else later? I'll accompany you."
Jiang Jingchun resisted the urge to speak to him, and seeing that he refused to leave, she grabbed his hand and glared at him again.
Gu Huaisheng lowered his eyes and looked at her hands, not caring how she looked at him.
"Do you want to leave?" Jiang Jingchun asked him.
Gu Huaisheng finally moved and let her lead him away.
Song Xuan'an wanted to say something when he saw this, but Chen Muqing pulled his clothes. She shook her head silently at him, signaling him not to interfere in their affairs anymore.
Gu Huaisheng seemed to be quite stingy in this regard. If he caught them, no one knew what he would say. It would be better for him not to interfere in their family affairs for now.
Song Xuan'an understood what Chen Muqing meant and stopped moving. He could only watch the two men leave. Gu Huaisheng was pulled away by Jiang Jingchun. They went towards the stairs, but halfway there Gu Huaisheng suddenly turned around and looked at Song Xuan'an.
No longer smiling like he did at Jiang Jingchun just now, he looked at Song Xuanan with extremely cold eyes.
There was a hint of warning in his eyes.
He always interferes in their relationship. How can Gu Huaisheng be nice to him?
Song Xuan'an pursed his lips and remained silent. He looked into his eyes and he understood what was in his eyes.
Did he do anything? Was he playing polo with her?
What's it to him?
Fortunately, Gu Huaisheng only glanced at him for a moment. He was afraid that Jiang Jingchun would find out something, so he quickly looked away and stopped looking at him.
The two didn't speak all the way until they got out of here. Jiang Jingchun shook off Gu Huaisheng's hand. Gu Huaisheng looked at his empty hand and didn't say anything.
After getting on the carriage, he spoke first and asked, "So you went out with Song Xuanan and the others today?"
It was already dark, and the carriage was somewhat dim. Gu Huaisheng's voice was flat, and his cold expression was so well hidden in the darkness that it was impossible to discern his emotions.
Jiang Jingchun's eyes fell on the street scene outside the window, and she still answered Gu Huaisheng's words. She didn't lie anymore, she said "hmm", and didn't say anything else.
She seemed to hear Gu Huaisheng chuckle, and then said, "Go do something."
It was like a simple question, without any emotion.
Jiang Jingchun couldn't quite make out what Gu Huaisheng was saying, and didn't know what his expression was. She told him the truth: "It was just a game of polo. What else can you do about it?"
He is always suspicious of this and that. Is there anything else they can do besides playing polo and talking?
You can't say this or do that.
But he did such a thing today. She asked him, "How did you know we were in the restaurant?"
Although he couldn't see Jiang Jingchun's expression clearly, Gu Huaisheng understood what she meant from her tone.
Gu Huaisheng didn't want her to misunderstand anything, so he explained truthfully: "I came here today to do some work and had an appointment with someone for dinner, and I just happened to see you guys."
He was silent for a while and then spoke again: "Will I not let you see him?"
"What's the harm in telling me?"
"If I hadn't seen you today, would you have kept it a secret from me?"
Jiang Jingchun really didn't want him to know. She didn't quite understand. What was there to say? He just came out to play polo. What else could he do? Besides, he was so good at pretending. He didn't seem to have any emotions on the surface, but he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.
I've only said two sentences, but I'm already looking forward to competing.
"There's nothing much to say. If I say it, no one will be happy. You are a petty person. You know what you are thinking. Besides, I have nothing to do with Song Xuan'an. Can you be more generous and stop being suspicious all the time?"
He has always been quite stingy. Jiang Jingchun thought so in the past, and she still thinks so now. He is like this in every aspect.
That Dragon Boat Festival, she mustered up the courage to invite him out, but he refused to accompany her, and ended up going out with someone else.
Isn't he stingy?
Now that he saw her playing with others, he was unhappy again.
He is just stingy.
Gu Huaisheng actually smiled when he heard Jiang Jingchun's words, but there was no warmth in his eyes.
Be more generous...
He just said he was a shrew.
Now she has begun to let him be more generous.
He is stingy? He is still stingy even though he is like this. He has gone against his own conscience and has been very restrained in not having any prejudice against Song Xuanan. Should he let him withdraw and watch the two of them be together? That would be considered magnanimity.
But Jiang Jingchun thought of the past and felt suffocated again. She said, "Don't bother me about who I meet. If you want to meet someone else in the future and talk to someone else, I won't care. It doesn't matter if it's the eldest lady of the building or Miss Meng San. Just meet them if you want to. Don't bother anyone else."
No one cares about anyone else...
When Gu Huaisheng heard this, his palms were almost bleeding.
So now that they're married, he doesn't even have the qualifications to ask about where he's going, right?
He also didn't know why he would get involved with Miss Lou and Miss Meng San. He said, "I have never had any relationship with them. How can it be the same as yours?"
She said she would ignore him, but he didn't do anything, so why should she care about him?
Did he come home with someone else's scent on him one day, or was someone's lip balm stained on his clothes, causing her to say such things.
Jiang Jingchun didn't listen, "Huh? Really? Who knows? Didn't you two kiss together before? Who knows if there is anything?"
This series of questions makes people feel overwhelmed.
See you...
Gu Huaisheng finally understood why Jiang Jingchun suddenly mentioned the two of them.
Because she happened to have seen them both times when they visited the bride and groom. She liked him so much at that time, and she must have felt extremely sad.
Now that he has brought up the past again, he must be seeking revenge for what happened back then.
After Gu Huaisheng understood, he explained in a hoarse voice: "We only met once at the wedding ceremony, nothing else happened."
He was afraid that she would not believe him, so he added, "There is really nothing..."
This was considered an explanation, but Jiang Jingchun had no intention of listening at all, and responded perfunctorily, "Oh, there is nothing between him and me, we are just friends."
If I didn't explain it then, what's the point of explaining it now? It's been so long, it's a bit too late to talk about it now.
If Gu Huaisheng had said just one word at that time, she would have believed it immediately and put the matter behind her.
But he said nothing, so she kept all these things in her mind, and when the time came, she would bring them up and whip him over and over again.
The words had reached this point, and there was no need to argue anymore. They circled around and returned to the starting point. No one spoke for the rest of the way. After getting home and getting off the carriage, Jiang Jingchun went inside by himself.
Jiang Jingchun had played polo for the entire afternoon and was already very tired. After returning home, he went straight to the bathroom. After cleaning himself, he lay down on the bed and soon fell asleep with heavy eyelids.
This series of movements was smooth and flowing, without paying any attention to Huai Sheng at all.
Gu Huaisheng followed Jiang Jingchun and sat down at the table after returning to the house. He looked as if nothing had happened and was reading a book, but his eyes were always on Jiang Jingchun.
Until she fell asleep.
Gu Huaisheng also put down the book in his hand.
He stood up and went to the couch.
Jiang Jingchun's breathing was long and deep, and he looked like he was fast asleep.
The two of them said so many things, but she didn't take it to heart at all. She was so generous.
Although they didn't quarrel just now, the words Jiang Jingchun said almost poked several holes in his heart.
The resentment in her chest couldn't be released, but she just ignored everything after saying those words and lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
Gu Huaisheng felt very anxious and uncomfortable.
He climbed onto the bed and crawled over to her side.
There were candles burning by the table, but she was sleeping soundly.
The girl's black hair was scattered randomly on one side or the other, with some messy strands falling on the side of her face. Her eyelashes looked even longer behind her closed eyes. The candlelight cast a soft light on her fair face, making her look so beautiful that it seemed unreal.
Gu Huaisheng thought that it would be better for her to sleep, where she would be quiet and peaceful, and her mouth would not be able to say so many hurtful words.
She had just said so much, but he did not dare to say anything else in front of her. After all, it was his fault. But seeing her lying there sleeping heartlessly, he felt even more depressed.
It seemed as if she never took these things to heart from the beginning to the end, and in the end, he was the only one who felt sad.
She was awake, and he didn't dare to do anything. He only came over when she was asleep.
He pulled her arms out from under the quilt, lifted up her shirt, revealing a section of her snow-white arms.
Jiang Jingchun was extremely tired today and slept soundly, so she was unaware of Gu Huaisheng's actions. She was completely unaware of Gu Huaisheng's actions in her sleep.
Looking at the forearm in front of him, Gu Huaisheng finally opened his mouth and bit it lightly.
As if to vent his anger, he bit her skin with his teeth. Even though he was angry and wanted to do something to someone who was sleeping, he didn't dare to use too much force for fear of waking her up.
However, Jiang Jingchun, who was soundly sleeping, would naturally not be awakened by his ineffective action. In the end, she just frowned slightly and pursed her lips.
Gu Huaisheng raised his eyes slightly and took in all of Jiang Jingchun's actions.
What a heartless person.
She really wasn't on guard at all. Even though she had made him so angry today, she still dared to sleep so soundly.
Thinking of this, Gu Huaisheng bit down a little harder with his teeth. He bit her like a puppy, biting his bones and refusing to let go.
Gu Huaisheng bit her forearm, intending to vent his anger by punishing her, but in the end, as the fragrance lingered at his nose, he actually stretched out his tongue to lick her skin.
I don't know how long he nibbled on her before he finally let go. Under the candlelight, there were faint teeth marks on her forearm... and his saliva.
Gu Huaisheng's fingertips couldn't help but lightly touch the mark.
She wanted to bite deeper, just like she bit him, leaving a tooth mark on her hand.
In the end, Gu Huaisheng did nothing.
It would do him no good to wake her up.
But after taking this bite, he let go of his anger, got up and left, went to the purification room to purify himself, came back and lay down beside her, and fell asleep as well.
The morning sun rose slowly in the morning, and the morning light gradually shone through the window lattice. The sun became brighter and brighter, and the sound of the maids sweeping the yard outside the house gradually came into her ears. Jiang Jingchun slept until about 9:00 p.m. before waking up.
Mrs. Gu knew that Jiang Jingchun had been spoiled since she was a child, and she would definitely not be able to get up early, so she only went to pay a visit on the first day, and did not ask her to get up early to pay respects on the following days, so that she always woke up almost at noon.
When I woke up, Gu Huaisheng was no longer around. He must have gone to the government office.
Gu Huaisheng had only bitten a small piece of her hand yesterday, but the teeth marks had long since disappeared, and she didn't notice anything strange.
Before lunch today, news came from Jinghuatang that Jiang Jingchun was invited to come over for lunch.
Lord Gu and Gu Huaisheng were not here. They were on duty in the yamen. Now there were only Jiang Jingchun, Madam Gu and little Gu Huailang in the dining hall.
When Jiang Jingchun arrived, the two hadn't started eating yet, and were obviously waiting for her. She sat next to Gu Huailang, whose eyes were almost narrowed by his smile, and he called her "sister-in-law".
Jiang Jingchun also smiled and rubbed his head as a response. After sitting down, she asked why Mrs. Gu suddenly called her today.
Mrs. Gu said, "It's like this. I called you here today because I have something to tell you. I thought that since you are married into the Gu family, I still have to teach you some things about the family. Otherwise, when I get older and can't handle it anymore, you can't be completely clueless."
The life of a lady from a wealthy family is not easy on a daily basis. She has to take care of a lot of trivial matters in the backyard, manage all the servants in the family, and host a lot of banquets during the holidays... In short, it is not an easy life.
In fact, Mrs. Gu was also thinking whether she should teach Jiang Jingchun these things now. After all, she was the daughter-in-law of the Gu family and she had to learn these things sooner or later. But she had just married and was afraid that if she taught her these things, she would not be able to learn them all at once and would be exhausted physically and mentally.
If you think too much, you will inevitably be hesitant for a while.
I went back to the Jiang family and asked the old lady for her opinion. The old lady naturally asked Mrs. Gu to teach her as soon as possible. There would be no harm in her learning these things. Why should I worry about them? Just let her learn.
Jiang Jingchun had been conditioned by Li in the past, but now he has begun to understand things better and is not so lazy as to be unwilling to learn these things.
After hearing this, Mrs. Gu also felt that it made sense.
Today, before Gu Huaisheng went on duty, he came to tell her that it was time to let Jiang Jingchun learn some housekeeping skills, otherwise she would be bored staying in the house every day with nothing to do.
When I get bored, I'll just run around...
So today, Mrs. Gu called Jiang Jingchun to talk about this matter.
After hearing what Mrs. Gu said, Jiang Jingchun couldn't say anything. These things were something she should learn. Although she was quite lazy, she wouldn't get angry over such things.
As a human being, you can't be so selfish and only think about the good things.
To be fair, the Gu family was indeed a good place to be. They all treated her very well and even asked her to do her job in a gentle manner.
Jiang Jingchun agreed to Mrs. Gu's request and said, "Okay, I will go to learn with my mother in a while."
Mrs. Gu was relieved to hear her say this, as she had been worried that she might not be willing to do so.
After the two finished talking about this, they started to eat. However, Mrs. Gu thought about the sex life between Gu Huaisheng and Jiang Jingchun. At first, she thought that there was something wrong with Gu Huaisheng, but after listening to what he said, she realized that it was because Jiang Jingchun was not happy.
She counted on her fingers and realized that Gu Huaisheng was already 21 years old, and would be 22 next year... She still wanted to have a grandson, after all, many of her good friends already had grandsons.
Gu Huaisheng is not actually too old at this age, but he is definitely not young. Thinking of this, Mrs. Gu couldn't help but feel worried.
But thinking that Jiang Jingchun had only been married for less than a month, it would be a bit unreasonable for her to interfere in their bedroom affairs now. Thinking of this, she finally shut up and stopped urging him.
After finishing the meal, Jiang Jingchun went to Mrs. Gu's place and stayed there for almost the entire afternoon. During this time, Gu Huailang sat next to her. The things he talked about were too complicated and gave Gu Huailang a headache. He lay down next to her and fell asleep while listening.
Jiang Jingchun also felt sleepy after listening, but she couldn't sleep. She finally listened for a whole afternoon. As the sun was setting and the sunset was coming, Mrs. Gu asked her to go back today.
When I returned to Cangzhuoyuan, Gu Huaisheng had already returned from his shift.
Dinner had been served, but Gu Huaisheng hadn't started eating yet, waiting for her to come back.
The two of them almost had a quarrel in the carriage yesterday, but it ended with Gu Huaisheng's silence.
Jiang Jingchun guessed that Gu Huaisheng must be holding his breath.
However, when they met today, there was no emotion on his face. When he saw her coming back from outside, he even greeted her with a smile.
"I'm back."
Jiang Jingchun was puzzled by his look. She looked at him suspiciously and then sat down on the chair.
He certainly didn't look angry, and he didn't even look like he was taking yesterday's incident to heart.
Jiang Jingchun couldn't figure out for a moment whether he was really not angry or just pretending.
Although she found it strange, she didn't ask anything. It would be best if he could do so.
She stopped talking and picked up her chopsticks to eat.
The two were silent for a while. Gu Huaisheng picked up some food for her from time to time. Jiang Jingchun looked at him and said nothing.
I guess you really don't care.
Since he was like this, there was no need for Jiang Jingchun to mention it again. She just gave him face and ate the food he brought.
Gu Huaisheng didn't eat much and put down his chopsticks earlier than Jiang Jingchun.
He said, "In a few days, around the end of October, the Emperor will organize an autumn hunt at the Royal Paddock. Everyone will go then, so I told you earlier."
Autumn hunting is a tradition that has existed since ancient times. It takes place about every two or three years, and princes and nobles would bring their wives and children to participate. The last autumn hunting was two years ago. Jiang Jingchun also went once, but she was only fourteen years old at that time, and her horsemanship was not as good as it has been in recent years. In addition, the emperor, empress, and even the empress dowager were all there that day, and Jiang Nan stared at her closely. He would be scared to death if she moved at all, for fear that she would do something weird again.
She still had her sense of propriety and didn't dare to do anything rash that day, not even getting on the horse.
So autumn hunting was quite boring for Jiang Jingchun.
After Jiang Jingchun went there once, she didn't want to go a second time.
But she also knew that now that she had become Gu Huaisheng's wife, she could not avoid such scenes.
Even if you can avoid it the first time, there will always be other occasions in the future.
Could she possibly hide away forever?
Obviously unlikely.
The role of the father in her life was nothing more than scolding. Jiang Jingchun was always a little nervous in such situations because she knew that if she really did something wrong, her father would not care about her at all. Even if her mother wanted to protect her, it would be useless.
Gu Huaisheng knew what she was thinking from the expression on her face. He recalled the autumn hunt two years ago. In his vague memory, she seemed to have been sitting in her seat all the time. Perhaps because there were too many people that day, she couldn't let go, fearing that she would offend someone and cause the blame of her family.
Gu Huaisheng half leaned back in his chair, chuckled, and nonchalantly consoled her: "It's okay, you are my wife, a proper young marquis' wife, have fun as you like, and I will take responsibility for whoever you offend."
No one has ever said such words to Jiang Jingchun. In the past, Jiang Nan and the others would only ask her to be more obedient and quiet. In their eyes, she was like a firecracker ready to explode at any time... Although it is true that Jiang Jingchun is not a very quiet person, it is annoying if they say those words too much.
So, when she heard Gu Huaisheng say this, she was a little stunned.
He didn't seem to be afraid that she would cause him trouble.
After he said this, the room fell into silence for a moment.
It was getting late, and the maids had already started hanging lanterns in the corridor. The lanterns were suspended on the high beams, emitting a faint light. Someone walked into the house to light a lamp, and heard Jiang Jingchun's next outrageous words. He was so scared that his hands shook.
Jiang Jingchun seemed to think seriously about what Gu Huaisheng said. She asked, "Really? I can even pluck the Prime Minister's beard?"
When Wang Shun was young, he was known for his beautiful beard. Now that he is older, his beard has grown very long.
Gu Huaisheng knew that she was teasing him on purpose. After thinking for a moment, he teased back, saying, "Then you're done. He will definitely do the same as you, crying and making a scene before the emperor. The emperor won't be able to stand him and will feel sorry for the teacher suffering such a great humiliation. He will get angry and chop off your head."
What......
He was just short of saying that Jiang Jingchun liked to cry and make trouble. Naturally, she would frown when she heard that. She glared at him and stopped talking.
Gu Huaisheng laughed and said nothing more. After he saw her finish her meal and go into the house, he got up and left.
*
That night, Jiang Jinghui and Song Xuanjing were called to Wang Shun's home.
The three of them sat in the main room.
Wang Shun first asked about Song Xuan'an's situation in the past few days.
Song Xuanjing replied, "Now he has started to study hard. He used to skip classes at the Imperial College, but he has been attending every day these days and is very diligent. My grandfather wanted to find him a position as an official, but he refused. I'm afraid he still wants to get ahead through the imperial examinations."
Wang Shun couldn't help laughing after hearing this. He said, "He is quite ambitious. He knows that he can't get ahead as an official, so he will just be an idle official until he grows old. Anyway, the Song family has many descendants who can get ahead, so it doesn't matter if he raises a legitimate grandson. You deceived him this time, and next time I'm afraid he will be even more vigilant, and there will be no chance for you to take action again."
Song Xuanjing thought for a moment and then talked about another matter. He said, "Sir, they have started looking for relatives for me these days."
His expression was normal when he said this, and Jiang Jinghui, who was sitting opposite him, couldn't help shaking the cup in her hand when she heard this.
Her expression did not change, she just asked curiously, "Why are you talking about it so suddenly? I haven't heard them mention it before."
Song Xuanjing raised his eyes to look at her and explained, "Grandfather wanted Song Xuanan to find his relatives, but Song Xuanan used me as a shield. I had no choice. I am old now, so I can't not look for my relatives."
Jiang Jinghui sneered after hearing this, "Your grandfather is really biased. He has to give way to Song Xuan'an in everything. If he wants to get married, he has to force you to get married first."
Song Xuan'an was the legitimate son after all. Although Song Xuanjing was more promising than him, Mr. Song loved his legitimate grandson openly and secretly. Although he often praised the son born to his concubine, his heart was still biased towards Song Xuan'an.
Jiang Jinghui's words sounded somewhat dissatisfied, and Song Xuanjing himself was not dissatisfied yet, but she was the first to become anxious.
Wang Shun and Song Xuanjing both looked at her.
Jiang Jinghui finally realized that her behavior was a little strange. She picked up the teacup and took a sip, saying, "I'm just telling the truth..."
Wang Shun knew it well, but he just smiled and didn't say anything else.
The two of them said nothing more, but Jiang Jinghui felt awkward. She immediately changed the subject and looked at Wang Shun and asked, "Sir, did you go to ask the emperor for money before Mr. Song?"
Jiang Jinghui learned what Jiang Jingchun said when she returned home that day and told it to Wang Shun. It seems that Wang Shun should have gone to see the emperor before Song Gelao.
Wang Shun thought about what happened a few days ago.
After Jiang Jinghui told him about the incident that day, he went to see Emperor Taihe, hoping that he would approve the memorial to rebuild Tianlu Terrace as soon as possible.
It's a pity that Emperor Taihe has learned his lesson this time and kept putting the matter aside. In the end, he said he would hold a meeting of the Cabinet to discuss it again.
In this case, this money will basically not go into the Ministry of Industry's pocket.
Wang Shun didn't know what he was thinking about, his expression suddenly turned sinister, and even the candlelight shining on his face looked somewhat scary.
"They are still trying to snatch the money that cost my son's life... one or two of them will die a miserable death..."
Whenever Wang Shun thought of what happened back then, or how Wang Yu died, he felt heartbroken.
No one can understand his pain, and no one will ever understand it.
Over the years, Wang Yu's figure seemed to appear in front of him from time to time. He could always see his Ah Yu standing in front of him as a water ghost.
Missing you always comes to you inadvertently.
How did this young boy, who was once so dignified and gentle, end up like that?
He regretted it very much. Over the years, there has not been a single day when he did not regret letting him go to the south of the Yangtze River.
He always complained that he was stupid and not smart enough. If it weren't for him, he wouldn't have gone to such a dangerous place...
He was forced to death by him.
In fact, like the flaws in a white jade, Wang Yu has no bad points except that he is not as smart as his father imagined.
He is very kind, at least that's what people who have met him say.
This is a good quality, but in Wang Shun's eyes it is very unbearable. He wants his son to be like him. He wants him to be able to stand on his own one day, and to be able to have a stable life even when he is nothing but a handful of bones a hundred years later.
You are buried in the earth with your bones turning into dust, while I am living in the human world with my head covered with snow.
Wang Shunshi never expected that in the end, he would end up seeing his son die.
At first everyone was trying to persuade Wang Shun, saying that Wang Yu couldn't handle such a difficult matter now. The emperor said so, and the empress dowager who was very kind to Wang Yu also said so...
But he didn't listen, he thought that people always need to be pushed in order to grow up.
When Wang Shun thought about how Wang Yu died, he felt like he was almost suffocating.
He often dreamed of him. He often said that he was very cold. He stood in front of him, looking like a monster. Wang Shun could see him but could not touch him.
Wang Fu, a servant standing by, saw that he was emotionally agitated and had relapsed into his old illness, so he hurriedly brought some medicine and fed it to him. After taking the medicine, Wang Shun's breathing became normal again.
Jiang Jinghui and Song Xuanjing were speechless upon seeing this, and didn't know how to comfort them.
They only knew a little about what happened back then. After all, Wang Yu died too early and they had never even met him.
Wang Shun calmed down by himself and finally stopped talking about the past.
He looked at Jiang Jinghui who was standing aside and asked, "Jiang Jingchun is married. How have Jiang Nan and the others treated you these days?"
Jiang Jinghui thought of them, lowered her head, and looked at her toes. "Li Wanning still seems to be unable to let go of her. She looks fine on the surface, but I don't know what she is thinking in her heart. It's just that Jiang Jingchun has ignored her. Jiang Nan and Jiang Runchu don't seem to hate her as much as before... My Lord, I think what you said is actually quite right. Jiang Nan actually doesn't like me at all. He just wants to get his daughter back."
Maybe that was his obsession.
What Wang Shun said is quite right.
In fact, they never really liked her. She was not as happy in the Jiang family as she was in the Wang family.
Before going to the Jiang family, she thought her emotions would not be affected by them.
But that is obviously unlikely.
She was also annoyed by the way they were acting. On the one hand, they were obsessed with Jiang Jingchun, but on the other hand, they insisted on finding her and taking her home.
She wanted to get it done quickly, and she didn't want to be there anymore.
Wang Shun could hear Jiang Jinghui's emotions.
She doesn't like her sister, and she dislikes her parents even less.
She must have had expectations before going to the Jiang family, but unfortunately, she underestimated Li's feelings for Jiang Jingchun and their relationship of more than ten years. No matter how she tried to alienate them, it seemed to be useless. Jiang Jingchun seemed to be more likable than her, who was born in the sewer.
So when they kept pestering Jiang Jingchun, she naturally felt annoyed.
In her heart, she still cares about the Jiang family.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be annoyed by it.
It seems that no matter how old a woman is, she likes to get entangled in issues of love and not love, like and dislike. She attributed the current situation to the fact that they did not love her as their biological daughter.
But how could Jiang Nan not love her? If he didn't love her, he had been looking for her for more than ten years. If he didn't love her, he wouldn't have left this name for her.
If it wasn't Jiang Nan who named Jiang Jingchun, she would now be named Jiang Jinghui.
It is natural for parents to love their children.
There are no parents who do not love their children.
It's just that Jiang Jinghui lacks a sense of security and she always doubts their love.
This is a good thing, Wang Shun can make better use of her.
He understood everything in his heart, but he said to Jiang Jinghui: "Your father is such a selfish person, and so is your mother. They are always greedy for this and that. They have clearly found you, but they can't let go of Jiang Jingchun. Isn't it damnable? You are clearly their biological child, but they treat you like this."
"Child, such greedy people deserve their fate only if they fall into the mud."
"I know you don't like them. Just wait a little longer. When the time is right, I will make life difficult for them."
After hearing what Wang Shun said, Jiang Jinghui was stunned for a moment, but finally nodded.
She said, "Don't worry, sir. I will stay there and watch them fall into the quagmire before I leave."
Wang Shun heard Jiang Jinghui's answer and nodded with satisfaction.
Song Xuanjing on the side interrupted, and he suddenly said: "Sir, the autumn hunting will be coming soon. I have a way to find trouble for the Song and Jiang families. Then Gu Huaisheng can also be dragged into it, which will be enough to trouble them."
Not only Wang Shun but also Jiang Jinghui became curious.
Both of them looked at him.
Song Xuanjing spoke his thoughts in a gentle voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Shun laughed.
"What a bad move."
If this trick succeeds, it will be a real trouble for them. Not to mention their two families, even the Gu family will be embarrassed. I'm afraid they won't be able to hold their heads up in the entire capital from now on.
Since Gu Huaisheng has been harping on his teacher's affairs, this incident is enough to make him suffer.
Wang Shun said, "Very good, very good. There will be many people in the autumn hunt. If this can be done, they will be ruined and your brother will never be able to marry a decent woman in his life."
He pointed at Jiang Jinghui and said, "Look, Xiaohui, you've got the chance to cheat her. If something like this happens, even your old lady will give up on her. No one will like such a bad person."
After finishing their talk, Jiang Jinghui and Song Xuanjing left.
As the two of them were walking out, Jiang Jinghui couldn't help but say, "You're amazing. You can even think of such a sinister trick."
"Song Xuan'an is obsessed with Jiang Jingchun. Jiang Jingchun even went out to play polo with him a few days ago. In that case, let's give them a chance. As for Gu Huaisheng, it's funny to be a turtle bastard in the future. Kill three birds with one stone. What's wrong with that?"
Wouldn't it be nice if all the people they hate could be brought to ruin?
Jiang Jinghui didn't say anything, but nodded after a while and said in approval, "Well... it's really good."
fine.
A woman's reputation is the most important thing. If something like that happens in the Autumn Hunting Ground, Jiang Jingchun will never be able to hold her head up in the capital for the rest of her life.
Jiang Jinghui thought of Song Xuanjing's marriage, and asked, "Who did your family find for you?"
Song Xuanjing said indifferently: "Forget about a bastard. Who would care about it? Just find a few people to marry him."
No matter how good his father was to him, his marriage was always handled by his mother. It would be too easy for Mrs. Song to set a trap for him.
If you randomly show him a few not-so-good families, can he still say he looks down on them?
Song Xuanjing's voice was calm and indifferent, and there was no resentment in it. He said, "It doesn't matter to me who I marry. It's a matter of time. You don't have to look at me like that."
He caught some of Jiang Jinghui's emotions that she hadn't hidden well.
How could she still pity him?
Anyway, he has been like this since he was a child since his aunt died, and he has long been accustomed to it.
Jiang Jinghui knew that he was having a hard time, so this time she didn't argue with Song Xuanjing for anything.
She said calmly, "It's okay. When the autumn hunt is successful, no one will be willing to marry Song Xuan'an. I'm afraid the big families in the capital will avoid him. By then, your grandfather will have no choice but to value you and make sure you marry a wife of his dreams."
Song Xuanjing just chuckled when he heard this. The two of them didn't say anything else. When they reached the back door of the Wang family, they parted ways and went back to their own homes.

Ever since that day when Madam Gu said she would teach Jiang Jingchun how to manage the household, she had little time to go out. She usually learned some things from Madam Gu, and when she had free time, she would set up a card table in the yard and play mahjong with the maids.
That day, Gu Huaisheng was on duty. As the carriage passed through the long street, a gust of wind blew up the curtains. Gu Huaisheng casually looked out the window.
Towards the end of October, the autumn wind has cast a gloomy tinge over the capital. Now that it is getting colder, the days are getting dark earlier.
When Gu Huaisheng got off work, the sunset had already covered the entire street.
He saw a street vendor hawking his wares, and he stopped the carriage because he didn't know what he saw.
Shuliang didn't know why Gu Huaisheng suddenly stopped the carriage. His eyes fell on him and he saw him walking towards a stall selling candied haws.
Shuliang was a little surprised. Although he knew that Gu Huaisheng bought it for Jiang Jingchun, he was still surprised for a moment.
When did you buy these things?
Gu Huaisheng came back with the candied haws soon after. Seeing Shuliang seemed to be hesitant to speak, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
Shuliang shook his head quickly, "Nothing."
I just think it's weird that Gu Huaisheng is holding the candied haws... The cold young man holding the red candied haws in his hand has a strong sense of incongruity. But looking at Gu Huaisheng's recent attitude, I think he really remembered what I said last time. He has changed a lot recently, at least he doesn't quarrel with Jiang Jingchun anymore.
That's good enough.
The carriage arrived at Gu's house quickly. After Gu Huaisheng returned to Cangzhuoyuan, he did not expect that Gu Huailang was also there.
Since Jiang Jingchun got married, it was easier for Gu Huailang to go and play with her. Today, Jiang Jingchun followed Mrs. Gu to learn something and came back around 3 pm. Seeing that it was getting early, Gu Huailang followed her to play for a while.
At present, Jiang Jingchun and Hua Yun are sitting together playing mahjong with two other maids. They will probably go home after this game.
Gu Huailang leaned next to Jiang Jingchun and watched them play cards.
He was the first to notice Gu Huaisheng coming in from outside the yard and called him, "Brother, you're back."
Jiang Jingchun heard the voice and looked up, but only for a moment, and his gaze quickly returned to the card table.
Gu Huaisheng didn't expect Gu Huailang to be there.
Why does he always come... I've never seen him running so hard before.
After he responded to Gu Huailang's words, he calmly hid the string of candied haws in his hand behind him.
But he can't be seen.
If he sees it, it will definitely fall into his stomach.
He walked in their direction. His official uniform was even more eye-catching in the sunset, making his skin look even whiter.
When the two maids saw Gu Huaisheng coming back, they didn't dare to play anymore and wanted to get up immediately, but Jiang Jingchun stopped them, "Don't go, don't go, finish this game first."
She has played so many games and finally won one, so she has to finish it first.
If Jiang Jingchun won, she wouldn't ask for their money, but if they won, she wouldn't owe them money either. She and the maid were just playing mahjong for fun, and it wasn't easy to win for a while, so they couldn't leave.
After hearing what Jiang Jingchun said, the maid didn't move, but just looked up at Gu Huaisheng. Fortunately, Gu Huaisheng didn't say anything when he saw it, but just let them continue playing.
They never got up again.
Gu Huaisheng hid the Tanghulu behind him, walked to Gu Huailang's side, coughed lightly, and then said nonchalantly: "It's getting dark, you should go back."
Gu Huailang refused. After hearing Gu Huaisheng's words to chase away the customers, he sat closer to Jiang Jingchun. He said, "I'll leave later. I'll leave after they finish this game."
Gu Huaisheng pursed his lips and remained silent after hearing what he said.
I can't leave yet.
There was no choice, Gu Huaisheng hid the candied haws behind himself, thinking of going into the house and taking them out after Gu Huailang left.
But Gu Huailang saw his unnaturalness.
"Brother, what are you holding in your hand?"
Gu Huaisheng did not expect Gu Huailang to speak suddenly, and he was a little unresponsive for a moment. After hearing what Gu Huailang said, several people looked at him and at his hands behind his back.
