Chapter One Hundred and One Go to Jiangfu
Jiang Lan slept until dawn, and when she woke up, her head was still a little groggy, but she didn't feel any discomfort except for her clothes that were not very neat.
The incense in the incense burner has burned out, and there is still a faint strange fragrance lingering in the air, she looked around, but she didn't see Jin Ruting's figure, her heart was inexplicably uneasy, and she was about to go to bed to find him, but the bedroom door was gently pushed open, and the two girls with raw eyes came in with toiletries to serve her to get up and change clothes.
"What about Qinghe?" she wondered for a moment, such a personal service was usually done by her henchmen and maidservants, and it was a little strange today.
One of the maidservants came over with a set of clothes, and said respectfully: "The slaves and maids will serve the lady to change clothes and wash first, and the master will wait for you outside to have breakfast together." ”
Jiang Lan was suspicious, but she didn't say anything more, and walked out of the bedroom after finishing up.
In the dining room, Jin Ruting had been waiting for her for a long time, and when he saw her come out, he stood up with a smile and thoughtfully pulled out a chair for her, and the maid standing aside also gave her vegetables with great eyesight.
Jiang Lan sat at the dining table, lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Jin Ruting's eyes, yesterday's incense was given to her by her cousin last time, unlike ordinary aphrodisiac incense, this kind of incense is only useful for men, and the woman can still stay awake when she smells it, but she was too nervous last night, so much so that she drank a few more glasses of wine, and she was drunk and dazed, and she didn't know what happened later, but it was certain that he still didn't touch her, which made her feel disappointed and scared.
She was afraid that he would hate her if he found out that he used that kind of incense, and she was also angry that he could still keep his sanity in such a situation, which made her wonder if he really had another woman in his heart.
"Did you sleep well last night?"
Jin Ruting personally served her a bowl of soup, and her tone was gentle. But it made her feel a little panicked.
"Hmm. She nodded, taking a sip of the soup from her bowl.
Jin Ruting also stopped talking, and Wu Zi began to eat.
"Strange, Qinghe, I haven't seen this girl early in the morning. After a long silence, Jiang Lan tried to find a topic to ease the awkward atmosphere at the moment.
Jin Ruting didn't raise her eyebrows, and said lightly: "She made a mistake and has gone where she should go." ”
"What did she do wrong?" Jiang Lan blurted out without thinking. The fingers holding the chopsticks tightened. I suddenly had a bad feeling in my heart.
Jin Ruting glanced at her, and her voice became cold, "She moved her hands and feet in your incense." This kind of wanton and reckless doing things, without killing her in public, is already very cheap for her, I picked two capable girls for you. Whatever you want to do in the future, you can tell them to do it. "Say it. He put down the dishes and chopsticks, took the handkerchief handed by the maidservant, wiped his mouth, and said, "I've eaten." Xiangfang still has some things to deal with, so I won't accompany you, you eat slowly. There's no rush. ”
"But ......"
Before she could open her mouth to stop her, Jin Ruting had already strode towards the door. He walked out of the dining room without looking back.
She froze there and didn't respond for a long time, until the maidservant called her, and she came to her senses to reads();.
"Pack it up, I'm not going to eat it. She put her chopsticks down heavily, and her tone was not very good.
At this moment, someone outside came in and reported: "Madam, Mrs. Du is here, do you want to invite her in?"
"Cousin......" her apricot eyes narrowed slightly, and she didn't feel angry, "please let her in." ”
It's all her cousin's bad idea, what is the ironclad success, this is good, he noticed it and didn't say it, and asked Qinghe to carry the black pot for her, and he was obviously killing chickens and monkeys, doing it for her, and after this time, I don't know if he will go back to sleep at night, after all, during this time, he has stayed directly in the study many times, which makes her very depressed.
"What's wrong with my sister? ”
Yan Yishan walked in, smiling decently and generously, and holding a little girl with pink carving in her hand, who looked very beautiful, it was Jin Xue, the eldest lady of the Jin Mansion.
Jiang Lan looked at her cousin in surprise, the latter understood, and explained with a smile: "When I first came in, I saw this little girl playing alone in the yard, and I liked her very much, so I pulled her in, Lan'er, you are really blessed, as soon as you enter the door, you have such a well-behaved daughter, cousin, I am really envious." ”
Her voice fell, but Jiang Lan snorted coldly, "Cousin came over today, but is there anything wrong?"
It's funny, does she think this stepmother is so good?
When she first entered the door, she did think about treating Jin Xue as her own and raising her well, but she didn't know that this little girl was a bad girl, she didn't say anything about her every day, and she always spoke ill of her, she was simply uneducated to the extreme, and after a long time, she didn't bother to care about her, and directly handed her over to the old mother in the backyard to take care of, but I didn't expect this girl to behave in front of her cousin, win favor, and make her not generous enough.
"It's nothing, it's just that the weather is good today, so I want to ask you to visit our cousin-in-law in Jiangfu, I heard that she has just recovered from a serious illness and has been able to see guests. Yan Yishan said leisurely, her eyes swept over her face, she could guess without asking, she must have hit a wall yesterday, in fact, this was also expected by her, after all, Jin Ruting is a master of using incense, and she will not fall for others.
Of course, whether Jiang Lan succeeds or not, it doesn't hurt for her, she can always let her transfer her resentment to that woman.
How could that monster of Nalan Xinyue be worthy of Cousin Chengfeng, thinking that by pretending to be sick, she would be able to escape the strange eyes of the world?
"Cousin?"
Jiang Lan's expression was slightly condensed, the last time she went back to the Jiang family, her mother also told her to go to the Jiang Mansion when she was free, although her father and Chengfeng's cousin have always been at odds, but for the sake of the overall situation, she still can't make too much trouble with the Jiang family, which is in the limelight, since her father can't pull her face, he can only rely on her to mediate the relationship between the two families, so the cousin-in-law who has never met is the best breakthrough.
"It's okay, I'm looking for a suitable opportunity to visit my cousin, and since my cousin is here, let's go together. So saying, she ordered them to go to the storehouse and fetch the gift she had prepared.
Seeing her agree, Yan Yishan was overjoyed, but her face was silent, she pulled Jin Xue to Jiang Lan, and said with a warm smile: "Let's take Xue'er with us, there are more people and more lively." ”
Jiang Lan was stunned, but heard Jin Xue call sweetly: "Mother, take Xue'er with you." That well-behaved appearance was very likable, so she couldn't bear to refuse, especially the "mother", you must know that no matter how she coerced and tempted before, this girl refused to even call her "aunt".
