Chapter Ninety-Four: Weakness of Heart
Getting the news she wanted, Jiang Aoxue's heart was also relieved, she smiled and asked Wu Yi, who was still kneeling in the hall: "Does the prince have any other messages?" ”
Wu Yi shook his head and said respectfully, "No." ”
Jiang Aoxue nodded, and said with a smile: "It's troublesome to the guards." ”
"That's what subordinates should do." Eyi replied, then turned and left.
Jiang Aoxue smiled and watched him leave, and only after his back disappeared outside the door did she turn her head with a smile and look at Wanyun standing behind her.
Wan Yun looked at him blankly since he came in, since chatting with her master that day, she would unconsciously think of the man who saved her in her spare time, thinking of his handsome face.
But the fact that she was just a little maid and unworthy of him at all was like a basin of cold water poured on her head, making her previous fantasies disappear.
In the future, she will marry a little girl or follow the princess, and she will never marry anyone for the rest of her life, how can she marry such an excellent man? Knowing that there will be no good results, it is better not to approach at the beginning, so as not to make both of them sad.
Thinking of this, although her heart was sour, she was also a little relieved, just let her secretly like Wu Yi all the time, if she said it, both of them would be uncomfortable.
Moreover, the princess is so good to herself, if she knows that she likes Wu Yi, she will definitely spare no effort to promote them, in case Wu Yi doesn't have a good impression of herself at all, won't she cause him trouble?
Therefore, a few days ago, she made up her mind that she would never say what she wanted, and it would be good to settle it in her heart as time passed.
After Wu Yi walked out, she seemed to come back to her senses, and just wanted to step forward to pour tea for her master, but when she looked down, she saw Jiang Aoxue's smiling expression, and she couldn't help but be stunned, and she was a little weak in her heart.
The princess looked at herself like this, could she know what she was thinking in her heart? The princess is such a shrewd person, it is definitely not difficult to guess her own mind at all.
Jiang Aoxue saw her looking down and noticing herself, and asked with a smile, "What?" Do you still say you don't like Wuyi? ”
Wan Yun was about to find something to vague the matter, so she heard Jiang Aoxue continue: "I obviously like it, why don't you say you don't like it?" Isn't your heart bitter? ”
Uncomfortable? How could she not be uncomfortable? Her heart seemed to be crushed, and Wanyun was silent for a long time, but she still spoke: "Even if you like it, what can you do?" I don't deserve him, so it's better not to associate with him in the first place, and I will inevitably be sad later. ”
Jiang Aoxue paused for a moment, she didn't expect Wanyun to think like this in her heart, she looked at Wanyun's lowered face, and the look of frustration was evident from her face.
The master and servant were silent for a long time, and finally Jiang Aoxue spoke first: "Wanyun, why do you feel sorry for yourself? Although you are the maid by my side, but I have never treated you badly, and I am just like a sister, now I am a princess, no one dares to embarrass you for my sake, and where do you come from to be worthy of? Besides, I don't think Wu Yi is a person who values the family, and all you worry about may be in vain. ”
Wanyun lowered her head and raised it, she looked at Jiang Aoxue, and her heart seemed to be surging with a warm current. Of course, she knew that the princess was good to her, and she had also seen many maids from big families, and none of them wore the best clothes and ate the best things like her, just like ordinary young ladies.
However, is she just a maid, can she really get Wuyi's heart? Wan Yun clearly told himself not to look forward to it anymore, but there was still a burst of hope in his heart.
Jiang Aoxue knew that it would be difficult to persuade her like this to make her change her mind, so it was better to create more opportunities for the two of them, let the two of them get in touch, and then make a decision.
Thinking of this, she opened her mouth and said, "You better think about it!" In fact, a person's life is very short, if you do something with your own heart in a limited time, then you will live a lifetime in vain, and you will definitely regret it when you are old. If you like Wuyi, I'll help you, even if you can't be together in the end, it's better than regretting it. ”
Wanyun looked at Jiang Aoxue thoughtfully, not knowing what to say, but she had to say that the princess's words touched her heartstrings and made her mind change a little.
Jiang Aoxue knew that what she said was almost, and the next thing was for her to think about by herself, and she couldn't help much. Although she is looking forward to Wanyun and Wuyi coming together, if Wanyun can't open her heart, then it will be in vain.
She slowly stood up and walked over to the bed. Seeing her get up, Wan Yun didn't have time to think about her own problems, so she hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and asked with some concern, "Princess, where do you want to go?" ”
"Go and lie down on the couch, since you won't let me do anything, then I'll go to sleep." Jiang Aoxue glared at her and said helplessly.
Wanyun touched his head and didn't say anything, but laughed.
After Jiang Aoxue lay down, Wanyun retreated. Just when Jiang Aoxue was in a daze and was about to fall asleep, there was a sudden knock on the door.
She woke up suddenly, logically speaking, she was sleeping, no one should have the audacity to come to disturb her, could it be that something big happened? She sat up in her cloak and said, "Come in!" ”
The door was pushed open, and then Wan Yun walked in, feeling Jiang Aoxue's somewhat puzzled gaze, Wan Yun hurriedly said, "Princess, the Zhuo family wants to see the princess." ”
Jiang Aoxue's somewhat confused head didn't react after a long time before she realized who Zhuo was, wasn't Zhuo her sister-in-law, but why did Zhuo want to see herself at this time? Could it be that something is going on at home?
However, if something happens at home, it should be the brother who came to find him, not the sister-in-law, so what is the matter with her?
"Where is she now?" Jiang Aoxue asked suspiciously.
"I've entered the palace and I'm drinking tea in the front hall." Wanyun didn't expect that Zhuo's would come suddenly, the princess was sleeping, she could only arrange Zhuo's in the main hall, and then come to wake up the princess herself.
Jiang Aoxue nodded, then got up from the bed and instructed Wanyun: "Help me change my clothes, I'll go see her." ”
She already had a feeling in her heart that this time her sister-in-law came to her, not for family matters, but for other things.
Wanyun quickly changed into a homely dress for Jiang Aoxue, and then helped her walk towards the front hall. As soon as she walked into the front hall, Jiang Aoxue saw Zhuo Shi sitting on a chair drinking tea.
I saw that although Zhuo Shi was holding a teacup, his eyes did not look at the cup, but looked around at the decorations in the hall, and when he saw the gold and jade utensils and antique vases decorated in the hall, his eyes couldn't help but show a greedy light.
A trace of disgust flashed in Jiang Aoxue's eyes, my brother was stupid, but he didn't expect to marry such a greedy sister-in-law, in the future, if my brother took over the family, wouldn't this family let my brother and sister-in-law all be ruined?
However, in the end, this is still her brother and sister-in-law, although disgusted, Jiang Aoxue can't change the status quo, and now she can only force her brother to be independent and support a family by himself.
Thinking of this, Jiang Aoxue stepped into the front hall and said lightly, "Sister-in-law is here." ”
Zhuo Shi was looking at the furnishings in the hall intently, and when he heard Jiang Aoxue's voice, he hurriedly put down the teacup, stood up, and walked towards Jiang Aoxue, with a flattering smile on his face, and said, "Yes, my sister is here." ”
Wan Yun glanced at her dissatisfiedly, and just wanted to remind her to salute, Jiang Aoxue gave her a look, making her swallow the words that had already reached her mouth.
Jiang Aoxue said with a faint smile on her face, "Sister-in-law, sit down!" Don't continue to talk on your feet. ”
After speaking, she first walked to the chair above the front hall and sat down, Zhuo Shi answered, and then hurriedly walked to her left hand and sat down with a smile.
After Jiang Aoxue saw her sit down, she instructed the maid standing on the side: "Go and bring a few plates of snacks and melons and fruits." ”
The maid answered, and then she turned to Zhuo's and said, "My sister-in-law hasn't been here for a long time, what is the reason for coming here today?" ”
"It's not that I don't want to come, it's just that I'm busy at home and don't have the time to come." Zhuo thought that Jiang Aoxue was blaming her, and hurriedly explained.
Jiang Aoxue smiled faintly, and just took a sip of the teacup. She wasn't interested in what Zhuo was doing, she was just greetings.
Zhuo Shi saw Jiang Aoxue's expression was indifferent, and he couldn't see what she was thinking at all, and he couldn't help but beat a little drum in his heart. In fact, she came to Jiang Aoxue today mainly to borrow money, but now it seems that she doesn't know if this money can be lent out.
If she can't lend it, her husband will be finished, and if she is caught by those who borrow money, I'm afraid there will be no way to live.
Thinking of this, a hint of embarrassment flashed in her eyes, and before Jiang Aoxue could speak again, she said first: "Actually, sister, sister-in-law is here today mainly to ask you for something." ”
Sure enough, Jiang Aoxue's heart was clear. She already knew that the Zhuo clan came today to ask for something, otherwise she probably wouldn't have come at all, right?
"Sister-in-law, just say something!" Jiang Aoxue looked at Zhuo Shi and asked.
"Actually, it's mainly because your brother has borrowed a lot of money from the casino recently, and our family has no money to pay it back. If you are found by those people in the casino, your brother will probably die, so save your brother! Zhuo's face was a little red, and she hesitated for a long time before she spoke, although she was thick-skinned, she was still a little poor as a sister-in-law and asked her sister.
