Chapter 10 I want to be a family~
Rong Jianxue stared at Jiang Hui for a moment and looked at him silently.
Jiang Hui then remembered that it seemed that it was because he casually mentioned yesterday that the young master had caught a cold that the second lady came to bring him ginger soup.
Jiang Hui scratched his face guiltily and said nothing.
Rong Jianxue looked towards the doors and windows. "Thank you. I'm fine now. You don't need the ginger soup."
Outside the study, the woman's voice fell silent for a moment.
He whispered "OK".
"Then I will take my leave first."
Through the door and window, Rong Jianxue lowered his eyes slightly, and his gaze fell again on the "Classic of Purity and Tranquility" he had just copied.
The human spirit desires clarity, but the mind disturbs it; the human heart desires tranquility, but desires pull it away.
He picked up his pen and wanted to continue copying.
But the next second, "clang" -
Along with the woman's scream, there seemed to be the sound of a teacup falling to the ground!
Rong Jianxue suddenly stood up and pushed the door open!
Jiang Hui followed closely behind and saw Pei Jingxu fall to the ground not far away, with all the teacups and cups broken into pieces.
"Second Madam, are you okay?"
Jiang Hui followed his young master forward to check, but saw the woman with her head down, silent and without making any sound.
Rong Jianxue's gaze swept across Pei Jingxu and fell on the back of her hand, which was scalded red by the boiling soup.
"Jiang Hui."
"exist."
"Go to the bedroom to get the burn ointment, and then ask Hongyao to come over."
"yes."
Jiang Hui left in a hurry.
For a moment, they were the only two people left in the courtyard outside the study door.
The woman has a slender and petite figure.
She fell to the ground, her plain clothes were soaked, and the ginger soup spilled all over her body, making her a mess, with her fair skin vaguely visible.
Rong Jianxue looked away: "Can you stand up?"
Pei Jingxu still kept his head down and said nothing.
He said nothing more and walked into the study. When he came back, he had a large robe in his hand.
"offend."
He spoke calmly, with no emotion to be heard, and draped the dark robe over her body, covering the wet marks.
Without urging her, Rong Jianxue just stood quietly by the side, graceful and elegant, like a beautiful orchid or jade tree under the bright moon.
I don’t know how long it took.
Finally, the woman spoke in a trembling voice: "I can't seem to do anything right. Even something as simple as serving ginger soup makes me fall..."
"I can't keep accounts like Nanny Wang, let alone manage a shop. I can't even please my mother-in-law..."
"I'm really useless..."
She clearly still had her head down.
But Rong Jianxue heard faint, sobbing cries.
Like a kitten that can't find its way home, its shoulders tremble like willows in the wind.
——She is always crying.
It seems that she has been crying ever since I saw her on the mountain.
The reason she was crying was all related to Xuan Zhou.
——She really loves Rong Xuanzhou.
Rong Jianxue's expression was cold: "No one in this world is completely useless. You don't have to belittle yourself."
She was still crying, curled up there, her voice clear and transparent: "My Lord, you are a child of destiny, you will never believe that there is such a fool as me in the world."
Rong Jianxue didn't respond, and his eyes fell on the back of her hand which was swollen and red from the burn again.
"Besides the back of your hand, are there any other injuries?"
The woman sniffed, lowered her head and said nothing, as if she didn't want to answer the question.
Rong Jianxue said calmly, "Mrs. Pei, I need to remind you that burns will leave scars if not treated promptly."
Most women cannot bear to hear the word "scarring".
Upon hearing this, Pei Jingxu suddenly looked up and looked at Rong Jianxue in panic with his misty, tearful eyes.
She cried so hard that the corners of her eyes and the tip of her nose were red.
When a husband dies, his wife must observe mourning for three years. During this period, she is not allowed to remarry, wear flashy clothes, or stay in fancy places.
Pei has done very well in the past year.
Even the dress she was wearing at this moment was a simple white one, without any makeup.
His dark eyes stared straight into Rong Jianxue's. His eyebrows and eyes were like ancient jade covered with dust, calm and cold.
She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and muttered, "On my arms... and calves."
Rong Jianxue nodded and asked again: "Can you stand up?"
The woman nodded and slowly stood up with the help of the stone bricks.
Just a moment of instability and he almost fell over.
After finally stabilizing herself, she looked at Rong Jianxue, tears still streaming down her face: "I think I sprained my ankle..."
Rong Jianxue was speechless for a moment.
The moonlight is bright and the summer wind is noisy.
Rong Jianxue didn't say anything for a long time. He slowly raised his hand and extended his arm.
The man's palm was slightly clenched into a fist, with distinct joints.
Pei Jingxu lowered his eyes, a hint of emotion flashing in his eyes.
She bit her lip slightly, and finally gently placed her hand on his strong forearm.
"Go sit over there first."
Rong Jianxue pointed to the stone bench under the sycamore tree in the courtyard.
Pei Jingxu raised his eyebrows slightly—and did not let her into the study.
This shows that the time is not right between them.
In that case, her plan would have to change slightly.
Holding Rong Jianxue's hand, Pei Jingxu didn't use much effort the whole time, being polite yet distant.
Sitting under the sycamore tree, she couldn't stop crying. She lowered her head and wiped her tears helplessly, her soft shoulders trembling slightly.
Rong Jianxue stood aside and looked at her with his eyes lowered.
He was tall and just stood there, with countless moonlight pouring down on him.
for a long time.
Pei Jingxu heard the elegant voice of a man above her head: "I will go to my mother tomorrow to explain. Your dowry will not be touched by the Rong family."
"No, no!" Pei Jingxu shook his head in panic, "Sir, you can't say that to your mother-in-law."
Rong Jianxue frowned, as if asking her why.
She sobbed and said timidly, "Your Excellency's words will only make my mother-in-law resent me even more. I don't want to have any grudges with my mother-in-law, nor do I want to put you in the middle and make things difficult for me."
Rong Jianxue's eyes drooped slightly, the color of her eyes like the moon in a cold pond: "Then what do you want?"
Pei Jingxu's eyes rolled.
In fact, she had originally planned to put on another show today and take the opportunity to let Rong Jianxue teach her how to settle accounts.
In this way, the opportunities for the two of them to spend time together naturally increased.
But just now, Rong Jianxue asked her to sit under the tree with her arm around her, and did not ask her to go to the study to rest.
So, the time is not right yet.
Pei Jingxu had finally managed to gain some favorability from Rong Jianxue, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
So, she came up with a better idea.
——She wanted him to willingly ask her to learn from him.
"I...I would like to ask you, sir, to help me find an accountant..."
Rong Jianxue had a cold expression on his face and did not answer.
As if worried that he wouldn't agree, the woman hurriedly said, "My mother-in-law will definitely not find an accountant to teach me how to read the accounts, and I don't understand these things, so I'd like you to help me find one."
Rong Jianxue lowered her head, her eyes shimmering with cold jade. "Since you feel wronged, why do you still want to learn how to manage accounts?"
There were still traces of tears on her face, but her brows were gentle yet determined. "I don't want to be useless. My mother-in-law despises me. Ultimately, it's because I'm stupid and ignorant. So, I think I must at least accomplish one thing to make my mother-in-law look at me differently."
She looked at Rong Jianxue seriously: "I want to become a family with you, my Lord and my mother-in-law..."
