At noon, there was a commotion in the street.

The carriages escorting prisoners came slowly and in good order.

The people who had been waiting for a long time picked up rotten eggs and threw rotten vegetable leaves into the carriage without saying a word.

There was a lot of swearing, maybe it was because of his bad reputation, or maybe the people above had specially ordered it, but the officials in custody did not stop him.

After Ruan Zhen heard the noise, she put down her chopsticks, stood up and went to the window, leaning half of her body out.

This was the first time she had seen such a situation full of intense hatred. Seeing the people in the carriage in such a mess, with disheveled hair covered in rotten egg liquid, and no one looking neat and tidy on their bodies, she was relieved for a while.

Her eyes were following the direction of the carriage, and she never noticed that the man in casual clothes in the crowd was looking up at her with an unreadable expression.

Even though they were separated by three floors, Mu Youde wanted to carve Ruan Zhen's face into his bones.

Jiao Jiao was cute and cute when she was young, and who would not praise her when he saw her? He thought at that time, how could it be done when she got older? But Jiao Jiao is his eldest daughter, no matter how beautiful she is, she will still be protected by the general's palace.

.

It's really ridiculous to think about it this way.

It seemed like he had never protected her for a day.

However, he decisively pushed her out with his own hands.

Mu Youde closed his eyes and said in a dry voice: "Let's go."

He also remembered the news he had just received not long ago. Jiang Yi, who lives in her parents' house, has been depressed these days. She used to have to take medicine to sleep well, but now it's hard for even the medicine to work.

Jiang Hao spent all his energy thinking about not touching Jiang Yi's pain, so he was careful and ordered everyone in the house not to mention Ruan Zhen even half a cent.

But in the end, it was all in vain. The food delivered to Jiang Yi's house last night was not touched at all, and Jiang Hao couldn't hold back anymore and rushed in.

——What are you doing? Now that Jiaojiao is back, you should be happy. You can't drag your body down again.

——Brother Han has been kneeling outside your courtyard when he has free time these days, but you haven't seen him at all. He is also your son, don't you feel bad? That Mu Youde is a coward, he doesn't even dare to see you!

——Xiaoyi, brother knows that you feel uncomfortable. Jiaojiao is my niece, and you are my biological sister. I feel sorry for her, but I have selfish motives, and I feel sorry for you even more. Brother, you don’t want to be polite and honest! You can’t care about so much anymore, even if you suffer

You've received a lot of infamy and offended the Duke's Mansion. I'm going to go to the front door of the Duke's Mansion to beg Jiaojiao, can she try to recognize you?

Jiang Yi reacted and grabbed Jiang Hao: "No."

Jiang Yi lowered her head in confusion, no longer as high-spirited as before.

she says.

——Don't disturb her purity.

She also said.

——I no longer have the energy to complain, but I just refuse to let myself go. I hate myself for being incompetent. These days, I keep thinking, brother, if I had noticed something fishy at the first sight, wouldn't this be the case?

When Mu Youde thought of this, his body swayed. There was a hint of ridicule in his mouth, and his whole body had experienced a lot of vicissitudes. In his ears, he could still recall the soft and waxy voice of Jiao Jiao when he was young, and there seemed to be laughter as clear as bells.

What’s more, she was timid when he went to pick her up in Wunan.

【Father, you are walking on a road of no return.】

Of course Ruan Zhen didn't know what was going on downstairs.

Gu Huaizhi looked at Ruan Zhen quietly. The young lady thought the light was dazzling, so she blocked it with a handkerchief. This was Ruan Zhen alive.

The items under the sleeves also became hot to the touch.

Seeing the team leaving, Ruan Zhen turned to look at Gu Huaizhi, and was about to urge him to go to the execution ground, but he was keenly aware that something was wrong with his mood. Even though the boredom in his eyes dissipated as soon as Ruan Zhen turned around.

Ruan Zhen looked at An Qi.

An Qi blinked, expressing that he didn't know.

She looked at Changfeng again.

Oh, Chang Feng looked at An Qi with a look of interest.

Ruan Zhen stepped forward in small steps.

"Is there something hidden in your heart, husband?"

Seeing this, Chang Feng pulled An Qi and retreated, not forgetting to hold Xiao Hui's hand. He left the private room and closed the door respectfully. In addition to knowing how to look at people's eyes, he also had selfish motives.

An Qi held the chicken legs in his hands and squatted on the ground to eat happily. Chang Feng took a few steps closer, and a shadow fell down. An Qi raised his head and looked at the man.

"What's up?"

"I've been thinking about what happened last time for several days. You..."

The two voices overlapped, but they sounded like a question and answer.

An Qi was stunned when she saw Chang Feng. She frowned and confirmed, "Is this what happened when you touched me last time?"

Changfeng choked, then nodded without saying anything.

"Oh, I don't think it's such a big deal."

"I don't take it to heart, just don't touch it next time."

Changfeng:......

He gritted his teeth and said: "I said in front of the master that I am happy with you! I wanted to give you some time to adapt, but you acted as if nothing happened. Don't you have any other ideas?"

An Qi didn't know what she should think.

So she took another bite of the chicken leg in confusion.

She spent her whole day among men fighting and killing each other, but these days were a little quieter. She had never felt the admiration a woman should have, nor did she feel any shyness at this moment.

Under the word love, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a blank slate.

She swallowed the chicken, and with Changfeng's expectation, she said five words.

"Then...thank you."

Changfeng's face turned dark.

He approached An Qi and wiped the oil stains on the corners of her mouth with his rough fingertips: "Don't you understand yet?"

He sighed helplessly: "You fool."

An Qi:???I thank you, but you scold me?

Are you still human?

inside the house

The woman's green-white fingertips were tapping the hem of his clothes repeatedly. Her movements made Gu Huaizhi's eyes turn into a messy whirlpool, wrapped in a thick mist.

Ruan Zhen tentatively pulled out the delicate small box from his cuff, which Ruan Zhen had long noticed that Gu Huaizhi specially brought with him when he went out.

The box looked a little old, but it was well preserved.

Ruan Zhen asked softly: "Is this... for me?"

Gu Huaizhi looked at her for a moment, and nodded under Ruan Zhen's gaze.

His reaction...

Ruan Zhen thought that she could probably guess a thing or two. Gu Huaizhi had been struggling for a long time as to who would own the object that had not been given to her.

However, there is no trace of the old lady in Ruan Zhen's memory. It seems that she can only stand from the perspective of an outsider and calmly know how much the old lady loves her.

But for some reason, she seemed unable to have too many feelings.

The only consolation is that that Jiao Jiao is not too pitiful.

She lowered her eyes, and after a while, she said warmly: "The elders gave it to me, and I cannot refuse it. I should accept it."

As she said that, she curled her fingertips and said, "Husband, can I open it and take a look?"

Gu Huaizhi's Adam's apple rolled, and he stared at her with bottomless black eyes. The woman's side face was gentle, like a splash-ink painting, beautiful but fragile. She was at a loss.

The man's voice sounded soothing without knowing it.

"able."
