The widowed sister-in-law is embarrassed, she criticizes the villain like he only wants to be a love

Yan Shu slept until dawn. She just woke up from her sleep when someone knocked on the door.

He quickly got up, put on his clothes, and walked to the door to ask.

"Who?"

"it's me."

Hearing Jiang Ci's voice, Yan Shu immediately opened the door.

Jiang Ci changed into a moon-white gown and stood quietly at the door.

"But did it wake you up?"

Yan Shu narrowed his eyes: "No, it's time for me to get up, otherwise the waiter will come up and urge me later."

"I brought breakfast. You freshen up and come over to eat together."

Yan Shu lowered his head and glanced at the food box in Jiang Ci's hand. The fragrance of food wafted out of the food box, which immediately aroused her appetite.

"Sit down first, uncle. I'm going to wash up right now."

Yan Shu walked to the dowry and sat down. He skillfully tied his long hair into a bun and fixed it with a wooden hairpin.

Then he got up and went behind the screen to freshen up briefly, feeling much refreshed.

She walked to the table and Jiang Ci had already placed breakfast on the table.

The two sat down and ate quietly. Yan Shu raised his eyes and glanced at Jiang Ci. He saw that his face was slightly pale, and he must have been awake all night.

"Uncle, I have bought everything I need to buy. Let's go back after breakfast."

Jiang Ci responded lightly: "Okay."

After the two of them had eaten, they checked out and left Yunhe Tower.

Finally returned home near noon.

Jiang Ci took Brother Donkey into the donkey shed and moved the items bought by Yan Shu to her room.

Yan Shu poured a glass of water and handed it to him.

"You don't look good. Drink a glass of water and go back to your room to rest for a while."

Jiang Ci knew in his heart that what she handed over was spiritual spring water, so he thanked him, took the tea bowl and drank it clean.

"Then I'll go back to my room to rest. If anything happens, just call me."

"Okay, let's go."

Not long after Jiang Ci returned to his room, Aunt Li walked to Yan Shu's room with her little grandson in her arms.

"Miss Yan, I am going to leave with the child tomorrow."

Yan Shu looked at Aunt Li: "What are Aunt Li's plans for the future?"

Aunt Li smiled and said: "My mother's family is originally from Gucheng. The family has been doing business for generations and is quite prosperous. This time I went south with the intention of joining my brothers."

Gucheng belongs to Xinyang Prefecture, and it is also the next state capital to the south of Nanwei Prefecture. If you hurry up, it will take seven or eight days to get there.

Yan Shu pondered for a moment: "That's fine. With the help of your relatives, you can find a place to stay. It's just that the road to Gucheng is far away, and you need to carry some money with you along the way."

"I went to town yesterday to pawn my dowry bracelet. The cost is enough."

As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Li knelt down in front of Yan Shu with her child in her arms.

"Aunt Li, what are you..."

"Girl, please let me kowtow to you properly. If you are lucky enough to go to Gucheng in the future, you can come to Li Mansion to see me."

"Okay, if we are destined to meet, we will meet. Get up quickly."

Yan Shu helped Aunt Li up, and Aunt Li took out a silver lock from her arms and stuffed it into Yan Shu's hand.

"This silver lock was my dowry back then, and now I leave it to the girl as a memory."

All the way south to escape famine, her son, daughter-in-law, and eldest grandson all died on the way. The money she brought was also snatched away by Heizi and his group. She had no choice but to follow Heizi and others to continue south.

The dowry bracelet and the secrets hidden in the silver lock were not confiscated by Heizi and others. Now that they were preparing to continue their journey south, they had to pawn the bracelet to raise the expenses.

This copper lock was very important to her, so she thought of leaving it to her benefactor, who might be able to use it one day.

Yan Shu weighed it and found that the weight of the silver lock was not light, at least three or four taels.

Aunt Li was starving all the way and refused to exchange the silver lock for food. This silver lock must be very important to her.

"It's too expensive, I can't accept it."

Aunt Li held her hand tightly, her eyes firm.

"The girl saved our lives. This silver lock is nothing compared to the girl's kindness. The girl must accept it."

Yan Shu frowned, knowing Aunt Li's temper, so he could no longer refuse.

I thought to myself that I would prepare more food for Aunt Li to take with me on the way when I see her off.

-

Jiang Ci slept until dark.

Yan Shu made dinner, but he still didn't come out. She walked to the door and knocked on the door with some worry.

No one answered inside, and a slight noise was vaguely heard.

After a while, the door opened.

Jiang Ci's face was as pale as paper, and he stood at the door with a forlorn expression, as if a gust of wind could blow him down.

Yan Shu immediately noticed that Jiang Ci looked wrong.

"Uncle, are you sick?"

Jiang Ci twitched the corners of his lips and forced a smile.

"It's okay, there are one or two days every month. Since taking the detoxification pills given by my sister-in-law, my illness this time is much better than before."

In the past, whenever the poison occurred, his body would sometimes feel like it was falling into a fire and be roasted, and sometimes it would feel like it was as cold as being in an ice cave. The pain of being on the edge of death was something he would experience once a month.

Yan Shu stepped forward and held his arm: "Go back to bed and rest. I'll check your pulse."

Jiang Ci let her help him back to the bed and lay down, while she put her fingers on his wrist.

After checking his pulse, Yan Shu looked a little solemn.

His pulse was very disordered at the moment, and there seemed to be a small snake sliding rapidly in his blood, as if it was about to break out of his body at any time.

The situation is still the same after taking the Jiedu Pills. Without the Jiedu Pills to suppress it before, how painful and torturous he must have been when he was poisoned?

"My poison has no cure, sister-in-law, don't worry."

"Don't say such depressing words. Everything in this world operates according to its own rules. I believe that as long as you study this heart-burning poison, you will be able to prepare a corresponding antidote."

Yan Shu pulled the quilt over Jiang Ci and reached out to measure his temperature on his forehead.

"You are running a high fever. Wait a moment and I will prepare some medicine for you."

Yan Shu got up and returned to his room, entered the space, took out an antipyretic medicine from the pharmacy, crushed it into powder, poured it into a bamboo tube, mixed it with spiritual spring water, and immediately left the space.

Back in Jiang Ci's room, Jiang Ci suppressed his distracted consciousness and looked at her.

"Drink the medicine."

Yan Shu stretched out his hand to help him up, and Jiang Ci leaned against her weakly.

Yan Shu personally fed him the medicine and then let him lie back on the bed.

"Get a good rest and your fever will subside in about half an hour."

"Sister-in-law will take care of you."

Yan Shu smiled tenderly at him, tucked him in, then turned and walked out.

Jiang Ci's eyes kept falling on her leaving back, and the calm lake in his heart gradually stirred up a wave of waves.

Will she always stay by his side?

Will she leave him one day?

Just thinking about this possibility makes my heart feel burning.

Cui Xuanzi's words echoed in Jiang Ci's mind. The old man was not serious, but his words made some sense.

If he wants her to stay with him forever, he must make her his completely.

Thinking that he would not live long, he felt that this idea was too selfish.

But if she is freed and allowed to marry someone else...

Jiang Ci frowned, and there was a gloomy look in his cold eyes.

He might kill the man.
