Jiang Fuyue sat in this withered yard all morning, and in the afternoon went to rest in the yard specially arranged for her by Aunt Shu. She didn't come out until dinner time.

Although it was the New Year's Eve dinner, just like the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, only the same few people could sit in the main hall.

Even though everything inside and outside Jiang's house was decorated in a prosperous and festive atmosphere, the dining table was deserted.

The several women ignored each other and were not even willing to show off. They all just lowered their heads and ate their own food.

Even the two younger ones, Jiang Fuyao and Jiang Fuyu, were unusually silent.

Jiang Baisheng's initial enthusiasm was suppressed, and he only drank a few glasses of wine before going back to the study.

Jian Wei was sitting in the yard. Although the food in front of her was rich, she was lonely and there was no smile on her face.

Until Jiang Baisheng came over, Jianwei hurriedly greeted him with a smile.

After Jiang Baisheng left, Jiang Fuyue put down her chopsticks, got up and left with Jingzhe and Gu Yu.

As for Jiang Fuyao, she didn't take him away with him, and she wasn't afraid that Jiang Fuyao wouldn't return to the Hou Mansion.

Mrs. Jiang looked at her back with vicious eyes until her figure disappeared.

Afterwards, Mrs. Jiang pulled Jiang Fuyao up, who was enjoying her meal, and hurriedly led her back to her yard.

She had something important to say, so she didn't even bother with Jiang Fuyu.

In that compartment, Jiang Fuyue took Jingzhe and Guyu out of the door and went straight to the small bamboo building.

Today is New Year's Eve, how can we do it if we don't have a good meal?

-

Jiang Fuyue ate and drank enough, walked around the street for a while, and bought a lot of things for Jingzhe and Guyu before returning to the Hou Mansion.

The Hou Mansion was deserted, there was no red at all, and it didn't look like celebrating the New Year at all. The servants had all gone to have fun, and there was no one in the huge courtyard.

In the past, she was responsible for decorating the Marquis' mansion during New Years and holidays.

Every year, she would make the whole house look happy, and only then could she see some sincere smiles on the faces of this family.

At that time, she always felt gratified and felt that her hard work was not in vain. Now that she thinks about it, she was really stupid before.

People are obviously happy because of the festival, what does it have to do with her.

It has nothing to do with her being so deserted this year.

Jiang Fuyue went straight back to Shaoguangyuan, washed briefly and went to bed.

She drank some wine and fell asleep quickly, falling into a deep sleep as soon as she lay down.

Jiang Fuyao did not return until late at night.

Originally, Mrs. Jiang wanted to keep her overnight and let her come back tomorrow morning. However, when Jiang Baisheng heard that she had not left yet, he directly asked Wei to prepare a carriage and sent her back overnight.

Mrs. Jiang was very angry, but she was unable to stop her and could only watch her leave.

Jiang Fuyao staggered along the road to the end as if he had lost his soul.

She paused and then realized that she had actually reached Shaoguangyuan.

At this time, the door of Shaoguang Courtyard was closed tightly, and the lantern in front of the door had been extinguished. It was obvious that the owner of the courtyard had gone to sleep.

Jiang Fuyao was at the door of the courtyard, staring at it for a long time, then turned around and returned to the West Cross Courtyard without a care in the world.

The bedroom across the courtyard was very cold, even colder than outside. The master and servant both shivered as soon as they entered the door.

Jinxiu went to prepare the brazier first, and then cautiously walked to Jiang Fuyao and said, "Girl, you haven't eaten much at the Jiang family. How about I go to the kitchen and bring you some midnight snacks?"

Jiang Fuyao nodded, then shook his head: "Forget it, I have no appetite."

"Yes."

Jinxiu helped Jiang Fuyao remove the complicated hairpin rings, combed her hair and changed clothes. She was about to help Jiang Fuyao go to bed, but Jiang Fuyao raised his hand and said, "No need to wait, you can go down."

She needed to be alone.

"Yes."

After spending a day playing with Jiang Fuyao at Jiang's house, it was already very late now. Jinxiu was very tired, and now she was happy to save the trouble. She turned around and left the bedroom, went back to wash herself briefly and then fell on the bed.

After Jinxiu left, Jiang Fuyao looked at himself in the mirror and fell into deep thought.

What Mrs. Jiang said tonight was all in her ears.

"Do you think Jiang Fuyue took the initiative to ask you to go to the Hou Mansion this time because she really thought about you? She wanted to drag you and make you miss the best age to discuss marriage! Let you be disliked by your father! Let you become this The biggest laughing stock in the capital!"

"But your father was kept in the dark by her and thought she was only thinking about the Jiang family! Now, no one can help us, Fuyao, you have to save yourself!"

"In terms of status, you are no worse than Jiang Fuyue. The Marquis treats you well. In my opinion, you might as well just hold the Marquis in your hands. When you enter the Marquis' mansion and have the Marquis' favor, you will No need to be afraid of Jiang Fuyue anymore! Even your father has to act based on your face, just like he does to Jiang Fuyue now!"

"So what if he's your brother-in-law? It's not uncommon for sisters to serve the same husband. Besides, which one is more important, reputation or life? Don't be confused!"

"What do you mean it's not enough? There is a blood feud between Jiang Fuyue and you! She has gone crazy to avenge her mother! You are my daughter, how could she let you go?!"

"Her mother was killed by your mother!"

"Her mother died in my hands!"

"You are my daughter!"

"She can't let you go!"

……

Mrs. Jiang's ferocious and twisted face appeared in front of her eyes again.

Jiang Fuyao swayed slightly and quickly closed his eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, she felt that there seemed to be many dangers in the bedroom.

It seemed like someone was hiding in the dark, watching her every move.

Under the bed, in the cupboard, even on the rafters...

Jiang Fuyao trembled, quickly ran to the bed, and wrapped himself in a quilt from head to toe, without even a hair being exposed.

Can't sleep all night.

The next day, when Jinxiu came to serve, she was shocked when she saw Jiang Fuyao's ugly face: "Girl, did you not sleep well last night? Why do you look so bad!"

Seeing her, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Jiang Fuyao's mind.

She pretended to be calm and said: "Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. I want to go for a walk. You go arrange a carriage for me!"

Hearing this, Jinxiu's hand shook: "W-what?"

Jiang Fuyao stared at her and repeated, "I want to go out! Go and prepare a car for me!"

Jinxiu remembered what Jiang Fuyue had said to her, and immediately shuddered: "No, no, Miss Three, Madam has ordered us not to go out..."

"Is she your master, or am I your master?"

Jinxiu panicked and didn't dare to speak anymore, let alone listen to her words and prepare the car, so she had no choice but to kneel on the ground.

Jiang Fuyao fell down on the bed as if his strength had been drained away.

It's exactly what Mrs. Jiang said.

Now...she is truly alone.

Jiang Fuyao gritted his teeth and forced himself to say, "Forget it, I won't embarrass you anymore. You can prepare breakfast for me."

Wait until she fills her stomach and then think about how to start.

"...Yes." Jinxiu got up from the ground tremblingly. Seeing that Jiang Fuyao didn't look angry, she quickly turned around and ran out.
