There were strange noises in the room from time to time, Jiang Chenhao was afraid that his daughter would hear it, so he glanced at Dou Qingshuang with heavy eyes, smiled and patted Jiang Yuwan's shoulder gently, "What's the matter with Daddy?" ”

Jiang Yuwan stretched out her hand to stroke her cheek, her cold little hand made her face a little warmer, and after a while, she said softly: "I want to go to the adjacent street with Ah Shuang." ”

What's there to do with her?

Jiang Chenhao frowned, thinking that his daughter usually didn't even go out, he was a little relieved at the moment, nodded and said: "Yu Bao Zhai is a good place, your mother used to like his family's jewelry the most, you might as well go and take a look, pick some you like to bring back, and wear it to your mother." ”

Jiang Yuwan's mother has been dead for a long time, Jiang Chenhao is afraid that she will be sad, and she has not continued the strings, not even a concubine, this matter is often ridiculed by Jiang Chenning, but Jiang Chenhao did not take it to heart.

He thinks that it is enough for him to have a daughter, unlike his brother, who wants a son wholeheartedly, and finally has a son, but he is not satisfied.

Jiang Chenhao was too lazy to care about his brother's bad debts, he just wanted his daughter to be happy and happy, he reached out and wanted to touch Jiang Yuwan's head, but thinking that she had reached out not long ago, he paused, silently withdrew his hand, and said with a smile: "Go ahead." ”

Jiang Yuwan's face was full of joy, after all, this was at her uncle's house, if she wanted to go out with Dou Qingshuang, she still had to say hello to her uncle, and now that her father was helping her, she was naturally happy.

Jiang Yuwan has been afraid of her uncle since she was a child, although her uncle's face is similar to that of Daddy, but the momentum of the whole person is very different, and the eerie feeling makes people feel cold inexplicably.

Looking at his daughter's happy appearance, Jiang Chenhao was a little happy in his heart, until the backs of his daughter and Dou Qingshuang disappeared at the intersection, then he put away the smile on his face, turned around and pushed the door in.

The room had been cleaned up, and there was a faint smell of blood in the air, Jiang Chenhao didn't seem to be aware of it, and raised his eyes to look at Jiang Chenning, who was sitting above with a not very good face, "Didn't ask?" ”

"With the determination to die, my teeth naturally clenched," Jiang Chenning took a sip of tea and closed his eyes deeply, "Fang is Yuwan?" ”

"My daughter's family likes to go out to breathe," Jiang Chenhao sat down, "Big brother thinks, who is the force that did it this time?" ”

Jiang Chenning sat in the position of prime minister, relying on natural inhuman means, and provoked many enemies, and he was not surprised to come to seek revenge.

"Those crooked surnames, where do you have this ability," Jiang Chenning sneered, and the smiling face of the right minister inexplicably appeared in his mind, and he was silent.

Jiang Chenhao knew that he couldn't ask again, so he said, "What did the eldest brother think about what I said?" ”

"Don't even think about it!" Jiang Chenning had a headache about this, and frowned, "Chenhao, the Xiao family is not what you want, don't forget, who is the person who brought the Xiao family up to compete with those old martial artists." ”

Jiang Chenhao was silent.

"I know you love Yuwan," Jiang Chenning sighed and said, "In this Nanshu capital, how can there be more than one Xiao Qiyuan?" With my current position, why is it difficult to choose one of the many talents to be your son-in-law? ”

"Then why can't Xiao Qiyu?" Jiang Chenhao choked, "Big brother is so capable, so why is everyone else okay except Xiao Qiyuan?" ”

"Bastard thing!" Jiang Chen's eyes jumped angrily, he stood up violently, stretched out his hand and pointed at Jiang Chenhao and shouted angrily: "I don't think you want to marry your daughter, you want to copy Jiang's mansion and let everyone surnamed Jiang be buried with you!" ”

"Funeral? So what," Jiang Chenhao was not afraid of Jiang Chenning at all, stood up, and met Jiang Chenning's cruel gaze, "If it weren't for Ayu, how could you come to this Jiang Mansion?" Why does it have to be Xiao Qiyu, doesn't the eldest brother understand, this is what you owe Yuwan, and it is the Jiang Mansion that owes Yuwan! Funeral, without Ayu, where is the funeral!? ”

The air between the two seemed to disappear in an instant, making people couldn't help but hold their breath, and the dark guards who were ambushed around were even more motionless, silently staring at Jiang Chenning's movements.

With just one order, they could immediately end Jiang Chenhao's life.

Jiang Chenning clenched his fists, and there was no command in the end, he just looked at Jiang Chenhao, who was full of anger, and sat on the chair for a long time, like a deflated ball.

After a long time, he said slowly: "Xiao Qiyuan, it's not as simple as it seems on the surface, Yuwan married in the past, you can't protect it." ”

"Isn't there a big brother?" Jiang Chenhao said, "As long as the eldest brother is there, he will give Na Xiao ten guts, and he will not dare to bully Yuwan!" ”

Jiang Chenning sneered a few times, shook his head, and sighed: "Chenhao, you don't have to regret it in the future!" ”

"My son doesn't regret it, it's just that my old father is not doing well, and I admit it," Jiang Chenhao took two steps back and bowed deeply to Jiang Chenning, "Big brother, I know you hate me, but I only have this wish in my life, don't worry, Yuwan She doesn't know anything, as long as she marries into the Xiao family, everything will rot in my stomach and be buried with me." ”

Jiang Chenning closed his eyes and waved his hand, "You and I are brothers, don't say such unlucky things, go, don't come to Jiang's Mansion for the time being." ”

Jiang Chenhao bowed and bowed, straightened up, glanced at Jiang Chenning seriously, and turned to leave.

Until Jiang Chenhao's figure disappeared, Jiang Chenning suddenly stood up and threw the teacup in his hand against the wall, the cup cracked in response, and the fragments splashed out in all directions, making a crisp sound.

Jiang Chenning gasped, his fingers trembled, but he still held back, he took a few deep breaths, and slowed down for a long time before calming down his emotions, with his hands behind his back, he turned around and walked towards the inner room.

The dark guards hidden around put away their sharp knives and disappeared silently.

......

Jiang Yuwan and Dou Qingshuang sat in the same carriage, the small space made her a little nervous, and secretly glanced at Dou Qingshuang, which made her feel inexplicably guilty, and she didn't dare to take a second look.

Dou Qingshuang looked out the window.

When the old emperor was young, he still had Top Gun, from the hundred officials to the dawn of the common people, all of them were well governed, and all of them were convinced that there would be a prosperous scene so far.

It's a pity that when people get old, they will want more, power, power, money, and beauty are useless things for him, and what he wants most is the immortality that emperors have always wanted.

Dou Qingshuang put down the small curtain and met Jiang Yuwan's timid gaze abruptly, she seemed surprised, and her eyes showed some doubts.

was coldly opposed, Jiang Yuwan's heartbeat seemed to miss a beat, inexplicably weak, and her eyes overflowed with a little wetness. Meaning, I wanted to speak and stopped, and after a long pause, I seemed to muster up the courage to say: "Qingshuang, you, don't take my father's words to heart, he, he said nonsense." ”

Dou Qingshuang frowned, pondered for a long time, and said, "You mean, you want to marry Xiao Qiyu?" ”

"No, no," Jiang Yuwan waved her hand again and again, her face was terrified, and her face was flushed with anxiety, "This, my father is talking nonsense, you don't have to believe his words, you, your marriage contract with Xiao Gongzi is the emperor's decree, Qingshuang, you, don't worry, even my uncle will never dare to resist the decree." ”

Dou Qingshuang said, "Do you like Xiao Qiyuan?" ”

"I, I," Jiang Yuwan didn't expect Dou Qingshuang to ask so bluntly, and she didn't know how to answer for a while, she looked at Dou Qingshuang in a daze, the tears in her eyes were a little bigger, and her heart was flustered, and she felt that her mind was blank.

"You like Xiao Qiyu," Dou Qingshuang said in an affirmative tone, "That's why your father will keep running to Jiang Mansion for you, because he wants to take advantage of Jiang Chenning's momentum." ”

Jiang Yuwan shook her head in fright, "Qingshuang, don't talk nonsense, this, this is against the holy order." I, I don't think anything wrong about Xiao Gongzi! Daddy is nonsense, I will persuade him. ”

Although there is no holy decree, it has long been rumored that the marriage contract between Dou Qingshuang and Xiao Qiyuan is a matter determined by the emperor, and whoever raises objections at this time is tantamount to going against the emperor, and the consequences are unimaginable.

Jiang Yuwan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and felt uncomfortable inexplicably, Dou Qingshuang saw her appearance, silent, and said: "The emperor has not issued an edict on this matter, and we and other subjects cannot be presumptuous." I and the Xiao family are really not worthy. ”

Where is it not worthy?

The Dou family is the hand-picked general of the first emperor, with a noble status and a transcendent status, if you really want to take care of it, it is better to say that Xiao Qiyuan has climbed a high branch.

However, the Dou family was wiped out more than ten years ago.

The glory of the past is long gone, and there is a famous family here, if there is no mother's help, it will be disliked by the in-laws.

Jiang Yuwan bit her lip tightly, and just as she didn't know how to comfort Dou Qingshuang, she heard her say, "Where is the best rouge gouache in this Beijing?"

The woman is the one who pleases herself, although she doesn't care about it, but it is just a temptation, Jiang Yuwan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, the guilt in her heart suddenly decreased, and she immediately smiled: "It's Changchun Pavilion." ”

"Which one?" Dou Qingshuang opened the small curtain and pointed to an ancient house, with a smile on her face, "Can you take me in to have a look?" ”

"Naturally," Jiang Yuwan pursed her lips and smiled, and hurriedly shouted to stop the coachman, "His family's craftsmanship is the best, the nobles in Beijing love to use it, the makeup is natural and good-looking, it will not fall after a long time, although it is more expensive than ordinary rouge gouache, it is worth it." Qingshuang, if you are happy, I will give you some, you go in and take a look, and if you like, you will take it. ”

The Jiang brothers, one is an official and the other is a businessman, complementing each other, with a solid family background, and they are the old customers of various stores in Beijing.

The shopkeeper was about to step forward, but he didn't want to collide with someone, he stumbled and almost fell, but fortunately he was able to stand firm by holding on to the wall, and said angrily: "Who is so blind to eyes!?" ”

What collided with him was a curly-haired young man, dressed in colorful clothes, like a fluttering flower butterfly, fluttering his weak wings, up and down.

The young man's eye sockets are deep-set, his facial features are three-dimensional, his face is sickly white, and a pair of amber eyes are refracted with light, like neon that passes by in an instant after the rain, dazzling and abnormal.

Everyone had never seen such a delicate teenager, and they couldn't help but be a little stunned, and even the shopkeeper forgot what he was about to scold, and his eyes were closely chasing the beautiful figure.

The young man's footsteps were vain, his body shook slightly, and before he fell to the ground, he tightly grabbed the corner of Dou Qingshuang's skirt and looked at her with blank eyes, "Doctor, ask for medicine." ”
