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

near noon

Yan Shu left the Xu family brother and sister to have dinner at home.

In his later years, Xu originally wanted to refuse, but seeing that his sister wanted to stay, he had no choice but to follow her wishes.

"Then I will disturb Young Master Jiang and Miss Yan."

Yan Shu smiled and said: "When distinguished guests come to your door, you must be well received."

Seeing that Yan Shu was going to the kitchen to cook, Xu Shuangxue hurriedly got up and followed him out.

"Sister Shu'er, let me help you."

Yan Shu was not polite, nodded and took Xu Shuangxue to the kitchen.

Jiang Ci and Xu were both scholars in their later years, and they still had some topics to talk about.

"Mr. Xu, are there any refugees causing trouble in Chiyang City recently?"

Mentioning this matter, Xu Wannian also sighed helplessly.

"Some time ago, a large number of refugees broke into the city, burned, killed and looted. All the shops in the city suffered a lot of damage. Fortunately, the county magistrate asked Nanwei Mansion to mobilize troops in time. It took three days to complete the project. After suppressing this gang of rebellious people, the gate of Chiyang City has been closed. Pedestrians must show directions before entering or exiting. Alas, this is not a long-term solution. The war in the north will continue day by day, and the number of refugees will only increase. , I heard that Rongcheng will no longer be able to defend itself, and the next one will be Nanwei Mansion."

Jiang Ci pondered for a moment.

"Did your trip out of the city go well today?"

A large number of refugees are currently gathering near Chiyang City, and pedestrians coming and going are bound to become their lambs to be slaughtered.

The Xu family brother and sister must have some connections if they dare to leave the city at this time.

"My second uncle has an escort agency. It happened that the masters of the escort agency came to Furong Town today to escort the escorts, so we brothers and sisters followed them. The escort masters are all people who practice martial arts all year round, and the refugees dare not intercept them easily."

Jiang Ci nodded clearly.

In the kitchen, Yan Shu and Xu Shuangxue were chatting.

"Sister Shu'er, are you and your husband the only two people in your family?"

Yan Shu was stunned for a moment.

Facing Xu Shuangxue's curious gaze, I suddenly remembered that she had said that she was Jiang Ci's wife outside the study door.

Xu Shuangxue was also present at the time and heard the conversation between Yan Shu and Jiang Ci with her own ears, so she thought they were husband and wife.

Yan Shu smiled and shook his head: "Jiang Ci and I are not husband and wife. He is my husband-in-law's brother. My husband-in-law passed away on the day we got married."

Xu Shuangxue frowned in surprise and looked at her with a distressed expression.

"Sister Shu'er is such a good person, why is her fate so rough?"

Thinking of the inhuman torture she had suffered over the past few years, Xu Shuangxue suddenly felt a sense of sympathy in her heart.

Yan Shu didn't feel anything at all. She had never met Jiang Huan, and the memory of her cheap husband was left by the original owner.

So to her, Jiang Huan was just a stranger in the name of husband-in-law.

Yan Shu made three meat dishes, two vegetable dishes and one soup for lunch, and Xu Shuangxue was with him. Some of the ingredients were inconvenient to take out from the space, so the overall taste was not as good as those made in the space.

However, compared to the light meals of the ancients, some of the dishes she cooked were considered heavy.

The braised pork is soft and juicy, the sweet and sour pork ribs are sweet but not greasy, plus a piece of braised fish and two vegetables, paired with white rice, it will make you appetite.

When the food was served, Xu Wannian was really shocked.

He was already prepared for a simple meal, but he didn't expect that the food prepared by Miss Yan was better than that prepared by his kitchen.

The brother and sister were a little cautious at first, but after tasting the food, they didn't care about anything else.

Cao Juan walked out of the house and saw a carriage parked outside Jiang Ci's house.

She stepped forward and took a look curiously. Carriages were rarely seen in the village, and those who could ride in carriages were wealthy people.

Who is this at Jiang Ci's house?

While he was wondering, there was a sound of footsteps coming from Jiang Ci's home.

She hurriedly turned around and ran to the door of her home, secretly looking at Jiang Ci's house.

Then they saw a young man and woman walking out of the house, followed by Jiang Ci and Yan Shu.

The woman smiled and took Yan Shu's hand, said a few more words, and reluctantly got into the carriage.

Cao Juan frowned tightly. Could this be the woman Jiang Ci likes?

Seeing that the girl was wearing silk and satin, and she looked quite beautiful, I felt jealous, and I snorted angrily, waving my handkerchief and going home.

Aunt Cao saw Cao Juan coming home with a cold face and glanced at her curiously.

"What's the matter again?"

Cao Juan sat on the bed angrily and looked at Aunt Cao with a questioning look on her face.

"Mom, didn't you say you've talked to Sister-in-law Jiang about me and Jiang Ci? Why hasn't Sister-in-law Jiang replied after so long? Did she ask?"

Seeing that her daughter was doing this again, Aunt Cao rolled her eyes at her, lowered her head and continued to mend the clothes in her hands.

"You are a girl who is always thinking about a foreign man, and you won't be laughed at if you tell me about it? That kid Jiang Erlang has a reserved personality. I think he probably doesn't like your type."

Cao Juan, who was already angry, became even more angry when she heard Aunt Cao's words.

"Am I still your daughter? What type am I? If I were the daughter of a wealthy family, I don't believe Jiang Ci would look down on me."

After hearing what Cao Juan said, Aunt Cao's heart felt as if she had been stabbed hard by the tip of a needle.

"Just because you are my daughter, I asked you to give up early. Since everyone from Jiang has not replied to the letter, it is probably not possible, so you should give up."

"I don't. Jiang Ci can only belong to me, hum!"

With a cold snort, Cao Juan left the room angrily.

Aunt Cao sighed, how could she give birth to such an ignorant daughter?

He threw the clothes aside, put away his needlework, hesitated for a while and finally got up and left the room.

Yan Shu saw off the two brothers and sisters of the Xu family and was about to go home.

Aunt Cao came over in a hurry: "It belongs to the Jiang family."

"Aunt Cao." Yan Shu looked at her with a smile.

Aunt Cao smiled: "Have you ever asked Erlang about his wishes regarding the matter we talked about last time?"

Yan Shu guessed that Aunt Cao was looking for her for this matter, and he originally planned to find an opportunity to talk to her.

"Auntie, I've asked my uncle for help. Maybe the two of them are destined to be together. A girl like Juanzi will definitely meet a more suitable person in the future."

Although Aunt Cao was mentally prepared, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when she heard these words.
