Jiang Wan left Wanlan Restaurant with the small gift given to her by Mr. Lan Dong.

I couldn't figure out why Mr. Lan Dong treated me like that.

After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, Jiang Ying came to Jiang Wan's Zhuohua Courtyard again.

"Jiang Wan..." Jiang Ying rarely saw Jiang Wan's true face and was thinking about getting closer to her, but Jiang Wan brushed past her first and showed no intention of paying any attention to Jiang Ying.

"Jiang Wan!" Jiang Ying ran up and called out to Jiang Wan, "What do you want from me?"

Jiang Wan didn't look back. "You just need to stay in the woodshed and wait for your wedding. I don't need you to come and make trouble for me."

Jiang Ying was angry: "Jiang Wan!"

It’s just a pity that Jiang Wan had already walked in, without even leaving a trace for Jiang Ying.

Jiang Ying stomped her feet and left angrily.

During this period of time, perhaps because of the Second Madam's instructions, or perhaps because Jiang Ying herself realized that no one could save her except Jiang Wan, she came to Jiang Wan's Zhuohua Courtyard every day to wait.

But no matter how many methods she tried, even provoking her, Jiang Wan just wouldn't let her in. It seemed that in Jiang Wan's eyes, she had to give in even for bullying Jiang Ying.

It seems like a kind of disdain, which makes people even more sad.

Jiang Wan was in his own small yard, doing whatever he wanted without any panic. Occasionally when he felt bored, he would open the window and see the Jiang Ying performing outside.

The day before the Dragon Boat Festival, everyone is preparing the necessary things for tomorrow's festival.

In Yanzhifang, a man and a woman were walking side by side.

The woman's eyes swept over the various hairpins and rings on the shop, while the man's eyes were fixed on the woman.

Mu Ningzhi picked up a hairpin inlaid with gold and oriental pearls, looked at the mirror placed in front of her by the boss, and gestured on her head a few times with a smile on her lips.

His tone was light and a little happy, "This one is not bad, take it."

The boss said, "Oh!" and quickly packed the bags for this big customer. Mu Ningzhi had already selected several of them before. They were all very valuable.

She buys more than others in a month. The boss treats her like an ancestor.

"Is that enough?" A helpless voice sounded beside him.

Mu Ningzhi looked over. It was rare for her to see Tan Yunzhi being humiliated like this, so she naturally did not miss the opportunity to laugh at him. "But you said it yourself, no matter how much it is, you will pay for it. Why, are you feeling bad now?"

Mu Ningzhi snorted, "You're so stingy."

"Huh?" Tan Yunzhi laughed in anger, "I'm stingy? Auntie, you don't have any idea how much these things cost?"

"You didn't say that you can't buy after reaching a certain limit. You said it yourself, and I didn't force you to say it." Mu Ningzhi shrugged. Seeing that she had bought almost everything, she felt that she had ripped off Tan Yunzhi.

She raised her hand to stop, "Pack it all up, I'm done."

Tan Yunzhi breathed a sigh of relief. If he continued buying, he would have lost all the money he had saved to marry a wife.

The things were wrapped and were originally handed to Mu Ningzhi, but Mu Ningzhi did not reach out for it and glanced at Tan Yunzhi.

Tan Yunzhi sighed lightly, then resigned himself to his fate and went over to take it. He shouldn't have owed anyone a favor in the first place, especially not to Mu Ningzhi.

This person has no regard for shame at all and is so shameless that she wants you to give her your life.

Before the two of them walked out, the servant beside Tan Yunzhi suddenly ran in.

Tan Yunzhi was surprised.

"What's the matter?"

The servant panted, "Master Yuan has returned, and is here to look for you, that's why I ran away in such a hurry."

Young Master Yuan was good friends with Tan Yunzhi, and they both worked under Fu Yan. Two months ago, he was transferred to Jiangnan by Fu Yan to assist Fu Yan.

"Why is he back? Shouldn't he be in Jiangnan now?"

The servant smiled and said, "Isn't it the Dragon Boat Festival? They went to Jiangnan and came back to have a two-day holiday. The emperor agreed."

Tan Yunzhi nodded: "But I didn't have this honor in the past. This time it's also because of Fu Yan. This Fu Yan is really... special."

Mu Ningzhi heard the conversation between the two people clearly and frowned: "Doesn't that mean Fu Yan is back too?"

The servant glanced at Mu Ningzhi and then at his own master, not knowing whether to reply or not.

Tan Yunzhi chuckled: "I'm asking you, let me see what I do."

The servant knew that this meant that he didn't mind telling Miss Mu Er, so he said bluntly: "From what Master Yuan said, it seems that he has returned."

Mu Ningzhi frowned and muttered, "Isn't he going to look for Jiang Wan..."

"What about you this way?" The servant glanced at Mu Ningzhi.

Mu Ningzhi folded her arms and glanced at Tan Yunzhi coldly, "Take me back first."

The woman's tone was like an order, and no one was allowed to argue.

Tan Yunzhi threw the things in his hand to the servant, "Go and arrange a carriage to send Miss Mu back first."

Mu Ningzhi looked forward: "After this, we are even, and no one will look for anyone else in the future."

Tan Yunzhi chuckled twice and said nothing.

Zhuohuayuan.

When the weather was still cold, windproof silk was hung in the house by the door. Now that the weather is getting warmer, it has been replaced with light gauze. The breeze blows, and it feels like a dream.

There were several round mugwort mats on the ground. Jiang Wan, Yunxi, Qiu Nu and others sat in a circle, watching Nanny Feng weaving with colorful threads.

"Go around like this and tie a knot, and it will form a Chinese character for blessing..." Nanny Feng handed the first one to Jiang Wan: "Here, Miss, try it?"

Jiang Wan smiled and stretched out his hand.

Jiang Wan ate and slept every day during this period, and his weight increased visibly, but his wrists were still slender.

Wearing the colorful rope makes her skin look as flawless as white jade.

"Miss, this looks really good on you." Nanny Feng smiled, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes seemed to reveal kindness.

Jiang Wan's eyes were also on the colorful rope, and his fingertips slowly brushed across the thin colorful rope.

She looked at Madam Feng and said, "I want to braid one for you."

Aunt Feng smiled and shook her head: "How can I let you come? I'll do it."

Yunxi also took the thread and said, "I just learned it too. I want to weave it too."

Jiang Wan watched them sitting on the mats, talking and laughing, pulling out the threads to weave colorful ropes. She quietly stood up and walked aside.

Yunxi and Nanny Feng were concentrating on weaving and did not notice anything unusual about Jiang Wan. Only Qiu Nu, who had no interest in weaving ropes, noticed Jiang Wan's departure the first time.

Jiang Wan looked out the window. The sky was already filled with rosy clouds that looked like fire. Large areas of the sky were gray and white, with only some pink, yellow and red tinging the edges.

The sun is about to set...

Just now, when Nanny Feng put the colorful rope on her.

Another person's figure emerged in Jiang Wan's mind.

That was the first Dragon Boat Festival for her and him. Jiang Wan was so happy that she learned from the nanny how to weave colorful ropes.

She ran to him with the first one she had made.
