CHAPTER XXI

yes, she can't go.

In the secret guard camp, she yearns for freedom all the time, but when the lady handed the deed of sale to her, she suddenly felt that a thin piece of paper weighed a thousand pounds.

It's so heavy that the orange candy that has been by the lady's side for nearly ten years can no longer be picked up.

The tears in her eyes did not stop, and the drooping tears soaked the old tissue paper little by little, and she carefully folded the paper in her hand, and then handed it back to the lady.

Jiang Wu didn't catch it, she looked at Tangtang Candy gently, trying to reason with her again.

She didn't know why she wanted to stay.

If it's for her, there's really no need.

She had never received such care in her life, and it would be a bit heavy for her. She didn't want Tangerine to be punished again because of her.

When she was in Jiang's mansion, she was extremely eager to get married, because her grandmother answered her that as long as she got married, she could take her aunt out of the mansion. So even if it is just a marriage used to connect and maintain the feelings of the family, even if she has never seen the son of Jiangnan, she is very happy to marry.

She thought that Tangerine Candy should be the same as her.

She never stepped out of the quagmire before, because of her aunt's death, which has always been in her heart. But Tangerine Candy is not, she can still have a very free and beautiful life.

The beginning of Tangerine Candy and her husband will not come from a mistake, and it will not take ten years to be relieved like her.

She looked at Tangtang Candy gently and whispered dissuasion: "Why not, Tangerine Candy." If I am worried that there is no one to do in the house, I will find a new maid or grandmother; If you are reluctant to the Prime Minister's Mansion, with me and my husband here, you can come back at any time; If there is no one who has not rejoiced for a while, we can find it slowly. ”

"As long as you should go down."

Tangerine's eyes trembled lightly, and she looked at the lady in front of her.

The more she wanted her to leave, the more she couldn't leave. Does the lady know, this is the most determined moment in the lady's eyes in the past ten years. But not for the lady herself, but for her as a slave.

The two looked at each other, with different thoughts.

Jiang Wu never thought that it would be so difficult. How could anyone get out of the fire pit and go back?

Tangerine still shook her head with tears in her eyes.

The thin deed of sale was still neatly put back into her hands by Tangerine Candy. Jiang Wu looked at the paper in her hand, tears were especially there, she was stunned for a moment, and her heart suddenly felt a little painful.

She didn't know about the situation in the Secret Guard Camp, and her husband would never talk to her about such things.

She has the right to dominate the things in the house, but if she wants to do things outside the house, it will be a little troublesome. This was already the most suitable method she could come up with, and she never thought that Tangerine would not want to.

Before the negotiation was reached, Tangtang was even afraid that she would say it again, so he retreated directly.

Jiang Wu looked at the deed of sale in her hand, and still packed it up with a wooden box. Nowadays, slaves need to be filed with the government, and it is useless to tear up the deed of sale. If you want to get out of slavery, you need to get the slave to go to the government with the deed of sale to settle the case.

Looking at the well-covered wooden box, Jiang Wu was stunned for a long time.

*

But in a moment, there was another knock on the door.

Jiang Wu stepped forward and opened the door, a little surprised. It's not someone else, it's the orange candy that turned around and walked away a quarter of an hour ago. Tangtang lowered his head and handed the letter in his hand to Jiang Wu: "Lady, Miss Jiang's letter." Just now, I forgot to give it to the lady......"

Hearing Jiang Yuying's name, Jiang Wu also lost her mind to be a suitable talent. She remembered what had happened two days before, and took the letter in silence. She didn't avoid Tangerine Candy, she directly opened the letter and took out the letter paper.

The letter was written in just one line.

See you tomorrow at noon.

Contempt, arrogance, through these eight words, are clearly revealed.

Jiang Wu looked at the letter, and her mood was much more stable than before. She looked at it with deep eyes, and her hand was accidentally cut by the edge of the sharp paper, and a faint stain of blood stained the edge of the letter.

A slight pain came from her fingertips, and Tangtang on the side saw it and hurriedly wrapped it with a handkerchief.

She quietly looked at the blood on the letter, remembering Jiang Yuying's appearance that day, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but flatten.

My aunt is indeed her weakness, and all the strong emotions in her life, love and hate, have been used up by my aunt alone.

If the person Jiang Yuying wants to marry is not Xie Yuwan, for the sake of her aunt, even if it is just a true or false news, she may even really do it, regardless of her youth, to achieve Jiang Yuying's wish.

Jiang Yu let Tangerine wrap her fingers around the handkerchief.

I whispered in my heart.

However, if it is too late, it will not work.

"Lady, what are you going to do?" After subconsciously asking, Tangtang realized that she shouldn't have asked. Knowing such news, she reported it or not.

In the past, the son and the cold cicada turned a blind eye, but after the last incident, she still wanted to stay with the lady, so she couldn't be so casual.

Looking at the way she covered her mouth, Jiang Wu seemed to think of something, lowered her head and smiled.

Tangerine hung her head, not quite knowing what else to say.

"Actually, it's nothing if you report it." Jiang Wu said seriously: "I am all trivial on weekdays, extremely boring, my husband is busy with affairs, and I don't have time to go back home when I am busy on weekdays, and the orange candy is all reported, which has no impact on me." I don't have anything that my husband can't know. ”

Tangerine Candy stirred her hands.

That's what the lady said, but she couldn't do it.

Such...... Not good.

Thinking about it, Tangtang glanced out the window and whispered: "Then the lady said, it's so far away, when it is ten meters, the cicadas can't hear it." ”

At this time, the chilling cicada on the tree: "......"

Knowing that Tangerine Candy was deliberately amusing herself, Jiang Wu also learned from Tangerine Candy and said softly: "Then let's talk about something that the chilling cicada can't hear......

*

Nighttime.

Jiang Wu lit a lamp and looked at the book.

She has actually been in the habit of reading books all these years, but she has been a little busy recently and has been slacking off. The moment she sat on the wooden bench, she subconsciously looked at the hanging beam.

...... I didn't see the white silk.

She didn't know if she was relieved or her heart was pinched, she just looked at the place where Bai Aya had appeared and looked at it for a long time. Thinking that she was going to see Jiang Yuying tomorrow, the book in her hand was a little unbearable.

When Xie Wanwan pushed the door in, what he saw was Jiang Wu who was in a daze.

There was a half-opened book lying on the desk, her fingertips still resting on one side of the page, and the other hand, supporting her head, did not move for a long time.

When he saw that the candlelight was dim in the room, he thought she was asleep, so he went in without knocking.

It's just that as soon as I came in, I saw her in a daze.

Xie Yuwan paused for a moment, in the end he was still afraid that his sudden appearance would scare the people who were in a daze. So he took a step back and tapped on the door.

The sound was soft, but in the silence of the night, it was sufficient.

Her eyelashes were like butterflies, and she looked sideways at him: "Husband." After a moment, she closed the book in her hand, took a few steps forward, and took the robe from his hand: "It's so late, I thought you wouldn't come back." I'm going to go to the morning court tomorrow, and I'm going to ask my subordinates to call for water, but it's too late, I'm afraid I won't be able to rest for a few hours. ”

She was about to push the door open when she was hugged from behind.

The son, who was cold and dignified outside, put his head on her neck at this time and said softly: "Take leave, don't go." After thinking about it, he added: "Tomorrow, I have time." ”

Jiang Wu was stunned and thought of Jiang Yuying's matter. Tomorrow is the time for Jiang Yuying to ask her to meet.

If she had asked this question before, she would not have asked this question.

"Don't you want me to see Jiang Yuying?"

Wrapping his hand around her, he tightened for a moment, and then his calm voice sounded in his ears: "Well, I don't want you to go." Her hand tightened for a moment, her lips seemed to open, and the next she closed abruptly.

After a long time, her voice sounded between the two.

“...... But I want to go. ”

After speaking, she turned around and faced Xie Yuwan. She was a little uncomfortable, but she still looked at him and repeated softly, "Can you let me go?" ”

She swallowed, plucked up her courage and said, "I know, you're worried about me, but you can't trust me once." I'm not the Jiang woman in the Jiang Mansion anymore, I can do a lot of things. I also take care of things in the house, right? ”

She rarely spoke to him like that.

Too...... Candid.

But for some reason, in this way, the calm between his eyebrows has not changed a bit. Even, for a long time, there was no response to her words. Actually, it's unusual.

After a long time, he touched her head helplessly: "Do you have to go?" ”

No matter how sluggish she was, she realized that he didn't want her to go.

Why don't you want her to go?

She couldn't find the reason.

Are you afraid that she will agree to Jiang Yuying's request?

Although her husband didn't say it in person, she could see that her husband was not very happy with Jiang Yuying. She doesn't know the reason, her husband and her eldest brother are classmates and friends, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she grew up with Jiang Yuying's childhood sweetheart.

But from the first time she saw her husband and saw the relationship between him and Jiang Yuying, she knew that he didn't like Jiang Yuying.

can make a person like her husband show disgust on her face, she really can't imagine what Jiang Yuying has done.

She hesitated for a moment and asked softly.

"Why?"

Why don't you want me to meet her?

In the dim candlelight, there was a trace of fluctuation between the young man's eyebrows. He didn't answer her question directly, but said softly, "Then will you promise her?" ”

Jiang Wu shook her head: "No." ”

A gust of wind suddenly blew out the candle flame, and Jiang Wu subconsciously hid in Xie Yuwan's arms.

Out of sight, the young man's body froze for a moment, and then lowered his eyes and pressed her into his arms.

Embrace, very tight.

Taking advantage of the night, he almost rubbed her into the blood.

She didn't resist, just gently, with her own hand, hugged him back.

"Thank you for being late, I won't promise her, I don't want to ...... In our home, see her. You'll let me meet her, okay? It won't be long, an hour. ”
