She did not know what she had done to agitate Shangguan Wan, but she hugged her waist and cried in her arms.
Jiang Pengji was startled and immediately realized that something was wrong.
Shangguan Wan was indeed lively and cheerful, but it did not mean that she did not have the upbringing of an aristocratic family.
Therefore, according to Shangguan Wan, even if she was sad, she would not care about her image like she was now.
Shangguan Wan knew her gender, but outsiders did not.
She hugged a man and cried in public. Wouldn't people laugh at her for being shameless?
Apart from that, she followed the troops from Hejian County to Xiangyang District. That itself was very thought-provoking.
No matter how mischievous Shangguan Wan was, she would not run away from home.
Jiang Pengji's face darkened. At that moment, Jiang Nongqin came forward and bowed to her respectfully.
"Subordinate Jiang Nongqin greets my lord."
"Get up. You don't have to be so courteous." Jiang Pengji frowned and asked Jiang Nongqin, "Wan 'er left Hejian County with you?"
"Yes," Jiang Nongqin replied. Jiang Nongqin replied. After a while, there was a tinge of indignation on her cold expression. As a woman who was once a victim, she could not bear to see such a tragedy. "My lord, Lady Wan, this is a long story. She did not run away from home on her own. She had no choice. If she did not leave Hejian County, I'm afraid that you would only be able to see her grave in the future. "
Jiang Pengji's heart sank. She comforted the crying Shangguan Wan and said, "This is not the place to talk. Let's enter the city first."
Seeing that Shangguan Wan could not control herself from crying, Jiang Pengji did not comfort her. She quietly waited for her to calm down.
After a while, the clothes in her arms were gently pulled.
She lowered her head and asked, "You're not crying anymore?"
Shangguan Wan raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face. The front of Jiang Pengji's clothes was also wet from her tears.
"No, don't cry … Wan 'er does not cry so much …"
Even when she was tortured by the Zhang family, she stubbornly refused to cry. Now that she met Jiang Pengji, her tears flowed like a spring.
Shangguan Wan only felt that countless eyes were on her. She could not care less about crying and blushed.
"Then don't hug me anymore. Do you want me to carry you into the city?"
Jiang Pengji smiled and raised her hand to rub the top of Shangguan Wan's head. As soon as she rubbed it, she realized something was wrong. She frowned and a bold guess flashed through her mind. She deliberately maintained a calm expression and asked, "Why did you cut your hair?"
Our bodies, hair, and skin are given by our parents.
According to the rules, apart from a few exceptions, one's hair could only be trimmed and not cut.
Shangguan Wan's face turned pale. She bit her lower lip and said, "When her husband dies, her chastity is broken …"
Jiang Pengji's face darkened when she heard that.
Thinking of Shangguan Wan's attitude and her appearance in Xiangyang District, she vaguely guessed something.
"Let's enter the city first!"
Her voice sank a few notches.
Jiang Nongqin followed Jiang Pengji into the district headquarters, dressed in a professional attire.
After a long time.
Pa — Kacha —
The sound of a table shattering came from the back hall. Qiguan Rang could not help but frown.
After a while, his lord's suppressed anger could be heard from the back hall.
Qiguan Rang was startled. Which idiot had angered his lord?
Shangguan Wan felt embarrassed when she saw Jiang Pengji's anger. She spoke softly.
"Sister Lanting, I'm fine."
"Call me brother," Jiang Pengji emphasized.
Shangguan Wan lowered her head and said, "Oh … Brother Lanting … I'm really fine."
After she threw the divorce papers to the Zhang's, she gave up her womanly attire and returned to being a young girl.
However, it was not easy to grow back the hair that had been lost. Even if she concealed it well, Jiang Pengji found out the problem with a touch.
"I really don't know where your usual intelligence went. When your stepmother forced you, you should have thought of a way to sneak out of the house and take the token I gave you to the Liu residence to ask for help." Jiang Pengji was exasperated at her failure to live up to her expectations. She raised her hand and poked her forehead. "If my mother hadn't stopped you by chance, were you planning to commit suicide? If this place doesn't keep me, there will be another place for me! A tree dies when moved, but a man lives when moved. "
Suicide was the behavior of the weak. Jiang Pengji had always scoffed at it.
Shangguan Wan's heart warmed. She lowered her head and said, "… At that time … I didn't think of it …"
Speaking of which, she had been too confident.
Shangguan Wan had been pampered for many years. She had never seen her stepmother as an opponent.
She believed that her family would definitely stand by her side and protect her from her stepmother's bullying. Moreover, she was already engaged at that time. As long as she was out of mourning, she would be able to marry into her husband's family. Out of sight, out of mind. She would not have to look at her stepmother's sneaky smile.
However, she had not expected that one miscalculation would cause her to lose everything.
Having a stepmother meant having a stepfather. This saying was true.
Her stepmother was also powerful. She was gentle and considerate. She was willing to be lowly and humble. She was so humble that Shangguan Wan looked down on her.
She really suspected that her stepmother was from a noble family and not a brothel.
However, this attitude catered to her grandmother's and father's preferences. She slowly drew away the two most important supporters of the family. Her future mother-in-law was also instigated by her and forced to break off the engagement. Shangguan Wan, a proud daughter of the heavens, became a joke.
Now that he thought about it, this stepmother was quite formidable. She was like a black widow, weaving a poisonous net and quietly waiting for the prey to fall into the net. When the prey struggled until it had no strength and was on its last breath, she would suddenly make a move, skin the prey, and swallow it into her stomach.
Shangguan Wan could not help but shiver when she thought about it.
Jiang Pengji sighed softly and said, "Forget it. At least you're safe and sound now."
Shangguan Wan agreed. She held her hand with a smile and said timidly, "I don't have a place to stay.
"Wan 'er is currently homeless. Brother Lanting, are you willing to adopt an idler?"
"No," Jiang Pengji said firmly. She did not wait for Shangguan Wan to feel sad. She said, "Good Wan 'er, come and help me. What do you think?"
Shangguan Wan was stunned when she heard that.
The bullet screen in the streaming room was overwhelming, denouncing Jiang Pengji.
Tumi Dalao: What the f * ck. Can you be more shameless? Can you be more shameless? Can you be more shameless?
Xingxing Dalao: Hello, everyone. I'm the host's face. She doesn't want me anymore. I feel so bad.
Fengzi Dalao: Shangguan, little loli, you've just escaped the tiger's den and stepped into the wolf's den.
The audience in the streaming room felt sorry for Shangguan Wan, but due to the distance, they could only watch as the little rabbit jumped into Jiang Pengji's trap. They could imagine that when the little girl jumped into the trap, Jiang Pengji would happily bury her.
She was sold by the host, and she was counting the money for the host.
Shangguan Wan blinked. She did not understand what Jiang Pengji meant. "How can I help Brother Lanting?"
Jiang Pengji ignored the bullet screen. "I plan to build a school and take in children of suitable age. I don't expect them to be knowledgeable, but they need to be literate and able to do arithmetic … Wan 'er, you can be a teacher and help teach them for a while. What do you think?"
Top talents were hard to come by, but basic talents could be cultivated by oneself. They could be put to use after two or three years.
