Jiang Ruan smiled and said, "Sister Qiuyan is so decent, and when she reaches her age, she will definitely be able to send her out to match a good family. The second son of Ma Yuanwai's family is very good. The second son of Ma already has the twelfth concubine, and Sister Qiuyan is the thirteenth concubine."

Qiu Yan was stunned, and a chill slowly rose from the soles of her feet. Her face turned pale in an instant. She bit her lips and stared at Jiang Ruan with her eyes wide open, unable to say a word.

Jiang Ruan was not in a hurry, so he put the warm tea water close to his mouth and took a sip.

After a while, Qiu Yan plucked up her courage and said, "I don't know what the girl is saying." The first half of the sentence is still justified, but in the second half, I don't know why I feel guilty.

"Good birds choose trees to live in. People go to high places and water flows to low places. What Sister Qiu Yan does is only human nature. Don't be shy." She tilted her head and laughed: "This is a good thing. If one day Sister Qiu Yan really becomes the Thirteenth Aunt, I will definitely give me a rouge gift. Sister Qiu Yan is so decent, I think this decency is also earned by Sister Qiu Yan's intelligence."

Qiu Yan stood there, slowly clenched her fists. Jiang Ruan pinched her eyebrows and said, "I was sleepy after a while. I haven't been well yet. I can't tell Madam Lan the New Year's blessings in person. I'm sorry for me." After that, he ordered Bai Zhi: "I won't go and see Sister Qiu Yan see you off."

This was the order to expel the guests. Qiu Yan had no idea for a moment, so she naturally hoped to leave this depressing house immediately, so she nodded in panic, saying that she felt the superiority she had when she came again.

When Bai Zhi and Qiu Yan walked to the door, Jiang Ruan said again: "By the way, Sister Qiu Yan, the clothes of my two maids I mentioned before, since it is New Year, I also want to see some interest. Please think of a way to make them look more festive."

Qiu Yan bit her lip: "Isn't it a forceful girl?"

"Sister Qiu Yan is a smart person," Jiang Ruan interrupted her: "Otherwise, how can you be the Thirteenth Aunt?"

Qiu Yan's face turned a little whiter again, and she said with hatred: "Yes."

After Bai Zhi sent Qiu Yan out, Lian Qiao asked, "What's going on with the girl? Why did Qiu Yan get involved with the second son of Ma Yuanwai's family?"

"She and Mr. Ma have already secretly visited Chencang, and now it is time to mix oil in honey." Jiang Ruan said.

In the last life, Qiu Yan's affair with Mr. Ma was caught in a few years later, and this romantic affair was revealed. Mr. Ma was unscathed, but Qiu Yan was soaked in a pig cage. Before the pig cage, Qiu Yan was tortured and was unconscious. He kept saying that he was the Thirteenth Aunt of Mr. Ma's family. I believe that when the relationship was deep, Mr. Ma promised her like this. However, Qiu Yan was still in the end but he had no life to become the Thirteenth Aunt, so Jiang Ruan naturally would not tell this.

Did Lian Qiao suddenly realize it: "No wonder she was so scared, oh, she is such a despicable person, so shameless!" After all, she was a teenage girl, and immediately blushed: "It's just a girl, how do you know these things?"

Lian Qiao was too confused. Not only that, she also found that Jiang Ruan was like a different person today. She was so obedient that she actually threatened Qiu Yan so blatantly. When she talked about these dirty things, her expression was not strange, as if she was talking about an extremely ordinary family matter.

Jiang Ruan usually has fewer opportunities to go out than she and Bai Zhi. She has endless work in the yard all year round, so where can she have the chance to encounter these things? Lian Qiao was confused, but Jiang Ruan did not answer her question and said, "Liang Qiao, do you want to stay here for the rest of your life?"

"Of course I don't want to." Lian Qiao is a straightforward and arrogant person. She said without thinking: "Girls don't have to worry. Naturally, they won't stay in the village all their lives. The master will come to pick up the girl in a few days."

Jiang Ruan smiled and knew better than anyone else when she came to pick her up. She didn't have the patience to wait until then and didn't want to wait.

"Why wait? Qiuyan will take us back to Beijing soon."

Lian Qiao was stunned and subconsciously looked at Jiang Ruan, but saw the girl slowly yawning again. Under her straight nose, her lips that had sucked tea were rosy and curved into a small curve.

On the first day of the New Year, the sound of firecrackers came early in the morning of the long street. Children on the village came out to set off "open firecrackers". After the firecrackers, the ground fell red and the bright blue sky was as bright as clouds, which was called "full of red".

The village started to get busy. I don’t know whether it was intentional or forgot about Jiang Ruan’s master and servant. After the New Year’s Eve dinner, no one came to the three-person yard.

Bai Zhi started a fire brazier by the door, blocked half of her body and fanned the choking cigarettes out, and the room was barely warm. The sunlight shone into the yard outside. The yard was the most remote and dilapidated room. Not only did the eaves leak all year round, but there were also field mice running around from time to time. The quilt sent to the farm was thin and it was bitten a lot by rats. Bai Zhi sighed and couldn't help looking back at Jiang Ruan sitting on the bed with the quilt.

Jiang Ruan leaned against a horse-brown pillow sewn with a coarse cloth, covered her chest with a quilt, and was hanging her hair in a daze. She was sent to the village for four years. Zhang Lan's family had short-term food and clothing. She developed later than usual girls, and her hair showed a yellow color. At this time, the sunlight shone through the window, illuminating her long hair with a flowing luster. Her slightly pursed lips seemed to be a little bloody than usual, and her facial features were delicate and upright. The most unique thing was that she sat quietly, but she was quieter than before, as if she had changed to another person, strange and surprisingly strange.

Bai Zhi fiddled with the firewood in the brazier, remembering that Lian Qiao told Qiu Yan about the whole story last night, and finally said, "Why do I think something is wrong with the girl? The changes are simply too big. Could it be that the past obedience is a lie?"

Bai Zhi didn't know how to answer her. In fact, Lian Qiao was right. Jiang Ruan's changes were too big, especially as a personal maid, who felt more obvious. Jiang Ruan always cried since she was sent to Zhuangzi four years ago. Zhang Lan's family made things difficult for her, so she didn't even have the time to cry. She just took it silently, but she was sad and depressed in her heart, and she was even more taciturn in her daily life. Yesterday, her expression and attitude towards Qiu Yan seemed to be like another person. Bai Zhi was confused. After a person was seriously ill, could he change his temperament?

But no matter how much change, Jiang Ruan is their master. Jiang Ruan's current attitude is completely different from the past, and it may be a good thing. In his excitement, Lian Qiao had already walked in with a piece of oil paper wrap and almost ran over the brazier.

"Be careful," Bai Zhi whispered: "Why did you lose your mind?"

"I went to buy some New Year's goods and came back." Lian Qiao was not annoyed, but still smiled. She stepped into the house, wrapped the oil paper on the table and opened it, and said to Jiang Ruan: "Girl, come and eat some, the spring cake is still hot."
