At noon the next day, Xia Yan brought Jiang Su Su to Ruan Ju.
Jiang Su Su was wearing a pure white veil that covered her face from head to toe, revealing only a pair of eyes.
Xia Yan said, "Ruan 'er, tomorrow we will be going to maternal grandfather's fu. You should pack up. Your maternal grandmother has not seen you for a long time, and I'm afraid she misses you very much."
Lian Qiao gave her a disdainful look. Xia Yan spoke intimately, but after all, that was Jiang Su Su's maternal grandparents, so what did it have to do with Jiang Ruan?
"Naturally, Second Sister and Second Brother have encountered such a big incident, it is good to go out and relax." Jiang Ruan smiled. Hearing her words, Jiang Su Su and Xia Yan's faces immediately stiffened.
"Then I will not disturb Ruan 'er." Xia Yan said gently, "I will go see your Second Brother. I fear that he has been framed. He is also a child with a bitter life."
"Mother must advise Second Brother well. After falling behind, Second Brother has suffered a series of setbacks. It is really worrying." Jiang Ruan said with concern.
Xia Yan's movements paused, and she forced a smile, "Ruan niang is so concerned, your Second Brother will be very gratified to know." She then stood up, "Mother will not stay for long, Su 'er, let's go."
After Xia Yan and her daughter left, Bai Zhi looked at their backs and said, "Miss, why are you suddenly going to Xiahou fu? I'm afraid that something has happened."
Although Bai Zhi's thoughts were upright, she was not a stupid person. Jiang Ruan shook her head, "I just want to borrow the power of Xiahou fu."
As she spoke, Lu Zhu pushed open the door and walked in, "Miss, Young Master Gu has sent someone to deliver a message to you, saying that General Guan will return to the capital next month. Eldest Young Master's matter can wait, perhaps there will be some progress."
Jiang Ruan's eyes brightened, and she smiled slightly, "This is good news. Next month, it is not too late. "
"If Eldest Young Master returns, Master will not treat you like this." Jiang Quan treated Jiang Ruan this way because Jiang Ruan was only a daughter, and Jiang Xin Zhi was, after all, the eldest di son of his younger brother. Now that Jiang Chao had lost a little finger, Jiang Quan would pay more attention to Jiang Xin Zhi, and Jiang Xin Zhi would also protect Jiang Ruan from being bullied by others.
"That may not be the case." Jiang Ruan smiled coldly, "Both Eldest Brother and I are thorns in the eyes of the people in the Jiang fu. You must not reveal even the slightest bit of news about Eldest Brother to outsiders."
Bai Zhi and Lu Zhu looked at each other in dismay, but they saw that Jiang Ruan had already frowned slightly, and her expression was unexpectedly solemn, which had never been seen before.
In her previous life, she had received news that Jiang Xin Zhi had died on the battlefield while she was in the rural residence. At that time, the Xia family's position in the imperial court was gradually rising. Now that she thought about it carefully, she realized that there were secrets everywhere. It was not impossible for Xia Yan to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots in order to secure Jiang Chao's position. Perhaps Jiang Quan was even aware of this, but firstly, he did not have any father-son relationship with Jiang Xin Zhi. Secondly, he needed to borrow the power of the Xia family, so it was very possible that he had tacitly agreed to it.
Jiang Ruan clenched her fists as she thought of her warm and gentle older brother. If Jiang Xin Zhi was still alive, even if she had to use all of her strength, she would protect the life of her own flesh and blood, no matter the cost.
But Xiahou's Residence? Her gaze turned cold. There were some people that she had not seen for a long time.
"Lu Zhu, stay in the fu with Bai Zhi for the next few days. Pay attention to the movements in the fu, especially Fifth Yiniang." Jiang Ruan said, "Lian Qiao, follow me and call Shu Xiang in."
"Shu Xiang," Lian Qiao frowned, "Miss, this woman's intentions are not right, I am afraid that there will be some trouble."
"Trouble is exactly what I want." Jiang Ruan smiled slightly, "Go, I have my own arrangements for this matter."
On the second day, early in the morning, Shu Xiang and Lian Qiao were indeed waiting outside. Compared to before, Shu Xiang appeared much more cowardly. When she raised her head to look at Jiang Ruan, there was a faint trace of fear in her eyes. Jiang Ruan looked at the servant girl in front of her, who had her head bowed and knees bent. It was really difficult to associate her with the gentle and confident palace maid in her memory, who always appeared in front of her with a considerate face.
She put on her outer robe and smiled, "Let's go."
Jiang Su Su and Xia Yan were already waiting in the carriage. Jiang Ruan went in to take a look and found that Jiang Li and Jiang Dan were also there. Jiang Chao was sitting in the other carriage. Jiang Li looked at Jiang Su Su, her veiled face full of ridicule. However, due to Xia Yan's presence, she did not dare to say anything. Jiang Dan was locked in the innermost part of the carriage and looked extremely uncomfortable. When she saw Jiang Ruan come up, she hurriedly smiled at her timidly. Jiang Ruan returned her smile and sat down beside Xia Yan.
Xia Yan looked at her and smiled, "Ruan 'er, this is also the first time you have been to maternal grandfather's house. The last time your maternal grandfather saw you was five years ago. In the blink of an eye, you have already become a young lady."
Jiang Ruan smiled slightly, "Ruan niang also misses maternal grandfather very much."
The first time she had seen Xia Hou Ye was when Zhao Mei had passed away. She had knelt in front of the mourning hall, dressed in a white mourning dress, and watched as that amiable old man had come forward to chat with Jiang Quan. Not long after, Xia Yan had become the legal wife.
Later, when she had gone to the palace, she had often seen this Xia Hou Ye and his womenfolk at palace banquets. The shamelessness of the Xia family was still vivid in her mind. At that time, the Xia family's granddaughter, Xia Jiaojiao, had entered the palace with her and been bestowed the title of 'Beauty'. She did not know how many times she had tripped her up, whether openly or secretly. In the end, Xia Jiaojiao had obtained the Emperor's favour. Although she did not know how real the Emperor's favour was, Xia Jiaojiao had used her power to bully and humiliate her many times. She only remembered that when she had finally fallen into prison, Xia Jiaojiao had been brought back to the fu by Xia Hou Ye, safe and sound.
As soon as Jiang Ruan's words left her mouth, Xia Yan could not help but feel a chill. This chill had come without rhyme or reason. She carefully looked at Jiang Ruan's eyes, but she really could not fathom the meaning behind her words. Only then did she smile and say, "Then, Ruan 'er, have you thought about what gift you want to give?"
"Gift?" Jiang Ruan looked at her, puzzled.
Xia Yan laughed in spite of herself, "This child, don't you know that when you go to maternal grandfather's house, you have to give him a token gift? However, it is not your fault. After staying in the rural residence for so long, no one has taught you the ways of the world. "
Jiang Li laughed mockingly at the side. Jiang Dan was silent.
"Mother is right," Jiang Ruan smiled, "After today's lesson, when I visit in the future, I will not be a laughing stock." She paused, then continued, "But today, I have not prepared a gift. I wonder what my sisters have prepared?"
"I have prepared handkerchiefs for everyone." Jiang Su Su's face was covered with a veil, but her eyes were as beautiful as ever, "Although it is a little crude, it was still personally sewn. It is a token of my sincerity."
Jiang Li originally did not want to answer, but in her heart, she was afraid that Xia Yan would say that she had the intention to show off, so she proudly said, "Mine is a powder brought back from the palace. After applying a little, my skin is incomparably fair, and not a single scar can be seen."
Her words were unintentional, but it caused Jiang Su Su's face to stiffen under her veil. Xia Yan also clenched her fists. Jiang Dan timidly said, "I, I brewed a bottle of honey."
"Sisters' gifts are all this good," Jiang Ruan's voice was slightly low, "but I did not prepare anything."
"Silly child," Xia Yan affectionately patted her head, "How could Mother forget you? This morning, I knew that you might have forgotten about this matter, so I ordered the kitchen to make a new basket of pastries. Now that the weather is very cold, it can be kept for a few days. The pastries are very exquisite, and will not be lacking in etiquette. "
Jiang Ruan was somewhat astonished, and immediately said to Xia Yan, "Mother has troubled yourself. Ruan niang is ashamed to be so thoughtful for Ruan niang."
"You and I are mother and daughter, why would we mind such things?" Xia Yan laughed, "Don't talk nonsense. When you see maternal grandparents, remember to personally bring the gift up."
Jiang Ruan nodded. Seeing her like this, Xia Yan was relieved, and Jiang Su Su's lips curled into a smile without batting an eyelid. Jiang Li was impatient with their conversation, and had long turned her head to the side, closing her eyes to rest. Jiang Dan looked at Xia Yan's expression thoughtfully.
Xiahou fu was very far from the Jiang fu, and the road was slippery in the rainy weather, and the sky was gloomy. By the time they reached the gates of Xiahou fu, it was actually only evening, but the sky was overcast, as if night had fallen.
The old woman servant at the door welcomed them in, and as they walked, she said, "Young Miss has returned. Master and Furen have long been waiting in the hall."
Xia Yan smiled and agreed. When they reached the hall of Xiahou fu, there was indeed a dazzling display of wealth and riches. At the head of the hall sat a man and a woman. The man was over sixty years old, and had a friendly round face. The corners of his mouth were always curled up, and he looked like a Maitreya Buddha. The woman looked to be in her early forties. Her complexion was rosy, and her whole body seemed to be adorned with jewels and jewels. She was also very amiable.
Standing to the side were two pairs of man and woman. The slightly longer man looked ordinary, and did not seem to have a proper smile. The woman beside him was as beautiful as a flower. They were the Eldest Young Master of the Xia family, Xia Tianyi, and his wife, Shen Rou. The other pair was slightly younger. The man was handsome, and his gaze was romantic. The woman beside him was not as beautiful as Shen Rou. Although she could be considered delicate and pretty, she had a long face and thin lips, which gave her a slightly unkind appearance. This was the Second Young Master of the Xia family, Xia Tian Cai, and the Second Young Mistress, Yu Ya.
Between these two pairs stood a young boy and girl, both of them around thirteen or fourteen years of age. The young girl was dainty and beautiful. She was dressed in a sky-blue phoenix patterned soft satin dress, which made her look gentle and pleasant. The youth's skin was slightly dark, and he was also handsome. However, his expression was similar to that of the Second Young Master of the Xia family.
This young girl was Xia Jiao Jiao, born of the first branch of the Xia family. The youth was called Xia Jun, born of the second branch of the Xia family.
At this moment, everyone in the house was standing in the hall. Xia Furen was the first to call out, "Yan 'er."
Xia Yan smiled and responded, "Mother." She then pushed Jiang Chao and Jiang Su Su, "Quickly greet Maternal Grandmother."
Xia Furen waved her hand and said with a smile, "Chao 'er, Su' er, come forward and let Maternal Grandmother take a good look."
Jiang Su Su and Jiang Chao stepped forward, and Xia Furen touched their heads. When she saw Jiang Su Su's veil and Jiang Chao's bandaged right hand, her eyes darkened.
"Little sister-in-law has returned. Mother has been nagging these past few days." The Xia family's Eldest Young Mistress, Shen Rou, was the first to speak. "Long time no see, Su 'er has become even more beautiful."
As soon as she said this, Xia Yan's expression could not help but stiffen. Jiang Su Su's hands clenched tightly in her sleeves. Xia Tian Yi glared at Shen Rou, but Xia Jiao Jiao's gaze was somewhat gloating.
Xia Furen ignored her, but Xia Tian said, "Younger Sister, how many days do you intend to stay this time? I think it's just a few more days. "
"I'm just bringing Su 'er and Chao' er back to meet Father and Mother." Xia Yan smiled.
Master Xia, who had been silent all this while, suddenly said, "Isn't Eldest Miss also here? Which one is Eldest Miss? "
Xia Yan smiled and said, "Ruan 'er, quickly come and greet Maternal Grandfather."
Jiang Ruan, who had been standing in the shadows, softly said, "Yes." She slowly walked forward.
Previously, in order to deliberately give the other daughters of the Jiang family a show of strength, everyone in the Xia family had deliberately ignored the others and only spoke to Xia Yan and the others. At this moment, a gentle reply was heard. A young girl dressed in red walked out from behind Xia Yan and slowly raised her head.
Red lips and white teeth, she looked around and lingered. Although she was still young, her features were graceful and charming, without the slightest bit of timidity or childishness. It was like fine wine that had been precipitated for a long time, fragrant once the jar was opened.
Xia Cheng slightly narrowed his eyes. Although there was a smile on his face, there was already an invisible pressure pressing down on him. The expression of the young girl in front of him did not change. She continued to smile faintly, as if no one could shake her straight back in the slightest.
Xia Cheng was astonished. Now that he was in a high position, his every move carried an oppressive aura. Although it was not to the extent of being too deep, an ordinary young girl would at least feel afraid upon seeing it. But Jiang Ruan acted as if nothing had happened. Did she not understand, or was her scheming deep to the point of being terrifying?
Thinking of the words in Xia Yan's letter, he had a deeper understanding of Jiang Ruan. Suddenly, he smiled and said, "She is indeed a Eldest Miss. Compared to Jiao Jiao in our fu, she pales in comparison."
When Xia Jiao Jiao saw Jiang Ruan's appearance, a layer of melancholy and indignation arose in her heart. She had always thought that she was born beautiful, but usually, Jiang Su Su was already a head taller than her. It was not easy for Jiang Su Su to be disfigured, but this Jiang Ruan's appearance was not the least bit inferior to Jiang Su Su's. She had originally thought that a daughter raised in a village in the mountains, even if her appearance was not ordinary, would also behave in a vulgar manner. But now, it seemed that she had the bearing of a noble, making her whole person pale in comparison.
Xia Tian then smiled slightly, "Younger sister, it turns out that there is such a fairy-like person in your fu."
These words were somewhat frivolous. Lian Qiao frowned slightly, but Jiang Ruan did not seem to hear it. There was not the slightest trace of embarrassment on her face. When this scene fell into the eyes of the Xia family, it naturally caused them to ponder over it.
After talking for a while, Xia Yan ordered the servant girls to bring the gifts that had been prepared. Naturally, Jiang Su Su's handkerchief was welcomed by everyone. Jiang Dan and Jiang Li's gifts were also praised. Jiang Ruan handed over the box of snacks that Xia Yan had prepared for her to Xia Furen. Xia Furen ordered the servants to keep it. Suddenly, she remembered another matter, "Since you have also returned today, and last month, the fu's ancestral hall has been renovated, you should come over to offer incense to the Xia family ancestors. A few days ago, we invited a great master over, saying that this year, the Xia family will face a great calamity. It will require those born in the fourth month to sincerely pray for one night in order to avert the danger. I heard from Yan 'er that Ruan' er was born on the seventh day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar. I wonder if Ruan 'er can help maternal grandmother with this and pray for one night in the Xia family. "
Lian Qiao opened her mouth to speak, wanting to stop her. Jiang Ruan could not be considered a member of the Xia family. Even if the Xia family really did face a great calamity, what did it have to do with her? Moreover, going to the ancestral hall to pray for one night in the cold weather was not a good suggestion. Even she could hear it clearly. Jiang Ruan's health had not been good when she had lived in the rural residence for many years. If she knelt for one night, even if her body did not collapse, she would still fall seriously ill. But before Lian Qiao could speak, she heard Jiang Ruan say, "If I can be of help, Ruan 'er will definitely do my best."
Xia Furen smiled with satisfaction, "Ruan 'er is really a sensible child."
Jiang Dan looked at Jiang Ruan, then looked at Xia Yan, who was nodding, and silently lowered her head. After talking for a while, Xia Furen said that she was tired and ordered everyone to return to their rooms.
Jiang Su Su and Xia Yan first accompanied Jiang Ruan to the ancestral hall to light a stick of incense for the ancestors of the Xia family. Then, Xia Yan and Jiang Su Su were about to leave, leaving Jiang Ruan alone to spend the night in the ancestral hall.
Xia Yan looked at her with distress, "Ruan 'er, it must have been hard on you. If it were not for the fact that Chao' er and Su 'er's health is still not fully recovered and I have to take care of them, Mother would definitely accompany you in kneeling."
"Mother, what are you saying?" Jiang Ruan smiled slightly, "Mother and I are mother and daughter. Besides, kneeling here for one night is also to pray for the Xia family. Perhaps the gods in heaven will see my sincerity in kneeling and grant me a gift, so that all the wishes in my heart will come true."
Her words were said innocently, but there was not a trace of a joking expression on her face, as if what she said would definitely be true.
"Ruan 'er, what wishes do you have?" Xia Yan asked with a smile.
"I hope that Father's official career will rise steadily."
The higher one climbs, the harder one falls.
"I hope that Mother's health will be good."
To live healthily, to watch everything you have managed slowly collapse, and to feel the pain for a long, long time.
"Eldest Brother's reputation will spread far and wide."
Everyone in the world will know his name, and he will become a street rat that everyone will shout and beat.
"Second Sister will marry an ideal husband."
And then die in the hands of her most beloved husband.
"Ancestors of Xia Xia," Jiang Ruan put her palms together and said softly, "If you can see the sincerity of a maiden, then let the Jiang fu and the Xia fu be like the peonies of Luoyang, flourishing and flourishing for a long time."
You will rot, you will collapse, you will change from a magnificent mansion to the dirtiest mud in the world to be trampled by others. You will scheme, you will have internal strife, and in the end, you will die at the hands of your own people. Gods in heaven, if you can see Jiang Ruan's sincerity, then let the Jiang fu and the Xia fu be like the peonies of Luoyang, from this moment of flourishing, with an irresistible force, slowly, slowly, slowly withering away.
She spoke each word slowly, but the words that appeared to be flourishing and bright were like a black curse, covered with a layer of lifelessness. Xia Yan looked at Jiang Ruan's calm and serene profile, and a sudden fear arose in her heart.
She immediately stood up, barely suppressing the panic in her heart, and said, "In that case, I will have to thank Ruan 'er tonight. Mother still has matters to attend to, so I will leave first."
After Xia Yan left the ancestral hall as if she was fleeing, Jiang Ruan slowly stood up from the ground.
Kneeling? How could these dregs of the Xia family withstand her kneeling?
She scanned the surroundings. Just as Xia Furen had said, the ancestral hall had just been "repaired." The floor was made of the most damp and cold slate, and not even a stove had been lit. It was empty and cold. Not even a lamp had been lit, and only the faint moonlight could be seen through the window. There was even a hole in the roof, but it was unknown whether it was Xia Furen's handiwork, but the cold rain drifted in through the hole, and when it fell on one's body, it felt even colder.
In such a dark and cold place, only the plaques in front of her were her companions, and the green smoke emitted by the incense burner carried a strange smell. Jiang Ruan took out her handkerchief and stood at the hole in the window, where air was circulating. She wet the handkerchief and covered her mouth and nose, frowning slightly.
After a moment, Lian Qiao's voice sounded from outside, "Miss, this servant has come to deliver some food."
The ancestral hall's door was opened, and Lian Qiao and Shu Xiang walked in. Lian Qiao was carrying a food basket in her hand, and said, "I went to the kitchen to get some steamed buns. Since Miss has come, you have not eaten anything, and your body cannot be weak." After saying this, she looked at Shu Xiang with the faint moonlight, "What are you still standing there for? Come and help."
Lian Qiao was a first-class servant girl, and Shu Xiang had come over to make up for the vacancy of a second-class servant girl. She was already a head lower than Lian Qiao, and moreover, Lian Qiao's usual behavior was shrewish. Even though Shu Xiang was watertight, she was still somewhat afraid of her. She stepped forward, knelt down, and opened the food basket.
As she did this, Shu Xiang did not raise her head to look at Jiang Ruan's expression, so she did not see Jiang Ruan's gesture to Lian Qiao. Just as Shu Xiang was about to take the steamed buns out, she suddenly felt someone behind her pull her back, and her mouth and nose were covered by a handkerchief. She was about to shout, but a pungent smell rushed into her nose, and then her vision went black, and she did not know what happened.
Lian Qiao had worked in the residence for a few years, and was much stronger than the ordinary servant girls. She looked at Shu Xiang, who had collapsed on the ground, and asked, "Miss?"
"Strip her outer clothes," Jiang Ruan said.
Lian Qiao deftly took off Shu Xiang's clothes and handed them to Jiang Ruan. Jiang Ruan draped them over her body and stood up.
"Are we just going to let Shu Xiang stay here?" Lian Qiao's heart softened.
"If the Xia family does not have any other intentions, she is only sleeping here in my place for one night." Jiang Ruan said coldly, "If they have other intentions, Shu Xiang is also one of Xia Yan's people, then let them rebel."
Lian Qiao thought about it, and nodded, "That's true, the Xia family is too bad, to actually let Miss kneel in this place for one night. It is obvious that they want Miss to fall sick, so vicious!" She looked at Shu Xiang and said, "Shu Xiang will just take it that she has knelt in the ancestral hall for one night for Miss. Compared to what she has done to Miss, it is not too much. Fortunately, Miss has already ordered this servant to go to the medicine shop to grab some knockout powder to carry with her in case of emergency, it is really useful. "
Jiang Ruan smiled slightly. If the Xia family only intended to let her catch a cold, Shu Xiang would naturally be safe and sound. Unfortunately, the Xia family probably did not think so. She glanced at the green smoke coming from the incense burner, "Let's go to your servant's room first."
In the darkness of the night, two people dressed as servant girls walked out of the ancestral hall. One of the servant girls said in a clear voice, "Our Miss is too pitiful. Kneeling in the ancestral hall for one night, she will definitely break her body. Shu Xiang, you think so too, right? "
The other servant girl made a sound of acknowledgement.
In the darkness of the night, there was a rustling sound from the forest surrounding the ancestral hall, as if someone had left.
In another room of the Xia fu, Jiang Su Su, who was wearing a veil, took a sip of tea and said to the youth in front of her, "Biao Ge, you have to think it through. My Da Jiejie is one of the top beauties. I just feel that such a good person is extremely suitable for Biao Ge, so I want to help you."
Xia Jun looked at her. Although his expression was romantic, there was a sense of arrogance, "Put away your little tricks. Do you think that I still do not know your intentions?"
A trace of anger flashed in Jiang Su Su's eyes, "Biao Ge, do you agree or not?" Among the Xia family, Jiang Su Su was most afraid of this Xia Jun. At such a young age, he was already infinitely romantic, and had long understood the affairs between men and women. However, he was born with a gloomy temperament. There was once when Jiang Su Su hid in Xia Jun's room and wanted to play with him. She did not expect to see Xia Jun molesting her personal servant girl. His methods were cruel, and the servant girl screamed repeatedly. Jiang Su Su hid under the bed and listened with fear. From then on, she was even more afraid of her Biao Ge. And Xia Jun did not treat her like other men, who had tender and protective feelings for the fairer sex. He always ridiculed and ridiculed her.
"Why should I listen to your orders?" Xia Jun retorted.
Jiang Su Su pinched her palms, steadied her mind, and said, "If Biao Ge must miss this opportunity, then I can only regret it. Su 'er knows that Biao Ge has always admired women with special talents and extraordinary personalities. My Da Jiejie is one in a hundred. In a few years, I don't know which family Father will betroth her to, but looking at her temperament, it will definitely be a noble family. If Biao Ge does not grasp this opportunity, it will be too late for regrets in the future. "She smiled slightly," It's better to think carefully. "
Xia Jun's eyes darkened. He thought of the girl dressed in red in the room just now. She advanced and retreated appropriately. Her face was obviously smiling, but it seemed that there was a kind of indifference in her bones that made people want to conquer her involuntarily. He wanted to see if the skin under the red clothes was as fresh and delicious as it was on the surface.
He hoarsely said, "What do you want?"
"My Da Jiejie will kneel in the ancestral hall for the whole night. Why don't Biao Ge accompany her? In this way, my Da Jiejie will definitely look at Biao Ge in a different light. Who knows, she might even give her heart to you." Jiang Su Su said.
Xia Jun looked at Jiang Su Su and suddenly smiled, "Thank you, Biao Ge, for your advice." He then stood up, "Biao Ge should also rest early. We will see each other tomorrow."
After Xia Jun had left, Jiang Su Su sat in front of the table and reached out to remove her veil. She stroked the ugly scar on her fair skin and muttered, "Jiang Ruan, how about the crime of having sexual intercourse with others in a place like the ancestral hall? When I wake up tomorrow morning, I want to see how you will cover it up!"
Butterfly's heart jumped and said, "Miss, are you not going to discuss this matter with Furen? Why don't I go and ask? "
"Shut up." Jiang Su Su reprimanded, "Mother always says that she will avenge me, but she has never succeeded. This time, I will do it myself."
Outside the room, Xia Jun lifted his feet and walked towards the ancestral hall. The manservant beside him cautiously asked, "Young Master, are you really going to the ancestral hall to comfort Eldest Jiang Miss? Second Miss's words are somewhat strange. I'm afraid it's not that simple. "
"Naturally it's not that simple." The corner of Xia Jun's mouth curled up, "I know exactly what Jiang Su Su is thinking. However, it's not bad. I will 'comfort' Eldest Jiang Miss. "
The ancestral hall's door was pushed open with a creak.
It was already late at night and the rain was getting heavier. The moon was hidden behind the dark clouds and the ancestral hall was pitch-black. Only the incense on the table emitted sparks and green smoke.
The fragrance assailed the nostrils. It did not seem like ordinary incense. After burning for more than an hour, the room was filled with a heavy fragrance.
As soon as Xia Jun walked in, he smelled the fragrance and felt his body heat up. His palms became dry and he unconsciously licked his lips. He slowly felt his way in until he tripped over someone.
He was startled and squatted down to touch it. He only felt a warm, fragrant, and soft body. He gently shook it, but it did not move, as if it had lost consciousness. He thought for a moment and suddenly cracked his mouth into a smile. The heat in his body became more and more intense. Xia Jun unbuttoned two buttons on his shirt and then reached out to touch the body in his arms.
The sound of silk ripping could be heard in the room.
