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

After parting ways with the Xu brothers and sisters, Yan Shu went to several grain stores to find out what the current grain prices were.

The result was even worse than expected. I went to three grain stores in a row and all of them were closed.

When they arrived at the fourth grain store, the door was ajar, but there was a closure sign at the door.

Yan Shu got off the donkey cart and said, "Uncle, let's go in and have a look."

"it is good."

When the two of them walked to the door of the grain store, they happened to see several tall and strong men walking out.

They fell on Jiang Ci and Yan Shu with scrutinizing eyes. When they saw Yan Shu's charming face, their eyes were glued to her like flies.

Jiang Ci's face was gloomy, and his cold eyes were directed at several people.

Meeting Jiang Ci's gaze, several strong men were reluctant to look away from Yan Shu.

One of the strong men stared back unconvinced.

The older man with a beard comforted his companions beside him.

"Let's go, it's important to do business."

The few people walked not far away, only to hear the man who glared at Jiang Ci muttering in a low voice.

"Haha, this little girl from Sui Dynasty is so tall. Her skin is so wet that it's wet, and her body is curved forward and backward. It must feel very good to the touch. It's really top quality."

Jiang Ci and Yan Shu had already walked to the grain store and were far away from the others. Yan Shu did not hear what the man said about her.

Jiang Ci paused slightly and narrowed his deep eyes coldly.

Just now, he noticed that this group of people did not look like the Sui people. From the accents they just spoke, they seemed to come from Rongdi.

What are they doing in Chiyang?

The shopkeeper in the store was calculating accounts in front of the counter. When he saw Yan Shu and Jiang Ci walking in, he raised his eyelids coldly.

"Boy, we have no food at home, please go to other homes and have a look."

Jiang Ci secretly observed the environment of the grain store and found that the shelves were indeed empty.

Yan Shu asked curiously: "Shopkeeper, why are all the grain stores in the county closed recently?"

"Of course there is no food to sell. Since the refugees appeared, the price of food has increased several times. It is still in short supply. If you had told me a few days earlier, you might have been able to buy some. Now there is no food anywhere."

Just as the shopkeeper finished speaking, two sweaty boys ran out of the backyard.

"Shopkeeper, that batch of goods..."

The shopkeeper suddenly raised his head and glared at the young man who was speaking. Only then did the young man notice Yan Shu and Jiang Ci, with a trace of panic flashing in his eyes.

"We are closing, please come."

The shopkeeper issued an eviction order, and Yan Shu and Jiang Ci had no choice but to leave the shop.

After walking out of the grain store, Yan Shu raised his head and glanced at the plaque.

"Blessings to the world"

Jiang Ci's voice came to his ears: "It's the Gu family's property."

Yan Shu curled his lips in disgust.

"No wonder the service attitude is so bad, dogs follow their masters."

Jiang Ci glanced at the teahouse opposite Tianxiafu.

"Sister-in-law, are you tired? How about we go to the teahouse opposite to have a rest?"

Yan Shu looked at Jiang Ci suspiciously, and he smiled faintly at her.

"There will be a show soon."

Yan Shu raised his eyebrows: "Okay, I happen to be thirsty too."

The two walked to the teahouse opposite and went to the private room on the second floor. Jiang Ci ordered a pot of tea and two snacks.

After a while, the waiter brought tea and snacks.

"Sister-in-law, try this chestnut cake. It tastes pretty good."

During the last lantern festival, I discovered that she likes to eat chestnuts roasted with sugar. At that time, I thought of the chestnut cake in this teahouse, and thought about taking her to try it myself if I had the opportunity.

With the food in front of him, Yan Shu frowned, picked up a piece of chestnut cake and took a bite in a good mood.

Sweet but not greasy, the fragrance of chestnuts fills your mouth with a soft feeling.

After eating one piece, she couldn't help but pick another piece.

Seeing that she liked her, Jiang Ci had a slight smile on his lips.

She lifted up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for her.

"Drink some water, be careful not to choke."

"Thank you, uncle." Yan Shu took the tea and took a sip.

As if thinking of something, he looked at Jiang Ci with a smile.

"If my uncle gets married in the future, he will be a gentle and considerate husband."

Jiang Ci's cold eyebrows moved slightly, and he raised his eyes and took a deep look at her.

For a person who has known since he was a child that he would not live long, he never thought that he would one day get married.

Even in these 16 years, he has never been interested in any woman.

However, he is somewhat interested in this little fox now. If she can return to her true form, it would be very comfortable to sleep with her in the winter.

Jiang Ci smiled to himself.

"With my frail body, I'm afraid I won't live to get married."

Yan Shu's eyes paused slightly, and he suddenly felt sorry for the villain.

According to the original book, in Jiang Ci's short 20-year life, it seemed that there was never a glimmer of light that belonged to him.

Originally, he was the son of the empress and the No. 1 choice for the future prince.

When he was four years old, the late queen fell to her death after being deposed due to witchcraft. The entire family lineage was wiped out due to conspiracy and rebellion.

Without the protection of his mother's family, he became an abandoned son who was bullied and insulted by eunuchs and maids. He ate scraps and even had to compete with wild dogs for food.

If it hadn't been for the Queen's personal maid and the bodyguard who had once saved his life to rescue him from the palace, he would have been tortured to death at a young age.

The misfortune he encountered as a child became an unforgettable nightmare for Jiang Ci, but God... no, it was the author who cruelly asked the original owner to sell him to the Nanfeng Pavilion.

A teenager with normal sexual orientation was abused by several men that night. Such a tragic experience became the straw that broke the camel's back.

Yan Shu sighed softly in his heart.

"Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to cure the poison in you."

Previously, she considered her own safety and was afraid that the villain might kill her at any time, so she only gave him detoxification pills to suppress Shao Xin Zui.

From the current point of view, Jiang Ci's attitude towards her has changed a lot.

In another year or two, if he is no longer a threat to her, she will definitely cure the poison in him.

Jiang Ci smiled: "I am very satisfied with having a sister-in-law."

As for whether it could be completely detoxified, he didn't dare to have too many extravagant hopes.

At this time, there was a sound of axles turning from downstairs.

Jiang Ci and Yan Shu looked out the window at the same time.

I saw more than a dozen carriages coming out of the alley next to Tianxiafu.

The people leading the team were the two boys whom I had seen in the shop before.

At this time, Yan Shu finally understood what Jiang Ci was talking about.

The Gu family's grain store obviously has grain but doesn't sell it to the outside world. Where do they want to transport so much grain to?

Jiang Ci stared indifferently in the direction the carriage was leaving.

Thinking of the people I just met, I already vaguely guessed the answer.

"Sister-in-law, we are staying in Chiyang tonight. I will take you to the inn first."

Yan Shu didn't ask any more questions, knowing in his heart that Jiang Ci must be investigating the whereabouts of this batch of grain.

She was also curious about what the Gu family wanted to do by hoarding a large amount of food.
