Salted fish, he thought about it

Jiang Juan fell into silence.

Not long after, the father-in-law came leading a person, Jiang Juan looked at Jiang Nian, then lowered his head, trying to reduce his sense of existence.

Seeing this, Xue Fuying got the wrong idea, and asked Jiang Juan with a smile, "But you want to eat crabs?"

Jiang Juan let out an "ah" before noticing that there was a steamer in front of him, in which several crabs were steamed until they were cooked.

Jiang Juan quite likes eating crabs, but it's too troublesome to eat. He was about to shake his head when Xue Fuying personally picked out a crab for him, "Try it."

"This is blue crab. It's perfect to eat in April. The crab meat is fresh and sweet, and the crab oil is sweet and fragrant."

Jiang Juan was quite moved, but he was too lazy to do anything after looking around. His laziness overcame his greed, and he only poked his chopsticks a few times before raising his head again, but he didn't expect that Su Feiyue was looking at him all the time. Su Feiyue asked him: "Why don't you eat?"

Jiang Juan: "No..."

It's not good to say that you don't want to eat, and it's not good to be too lazy to eat. After thinking about it, Jiang Juan replied solemnly: "I don't know how to eat."

Jiang Nian just happened to walk over, he glanced at the crab in Jiang Juan's bowl, and the corners of his lips curled up.

Sure enough, he came from the country.

What a shame.

Su Feiyue and Xue Fuying didn't seem to expect such an answer. They were stunned for a while, until a hand with clear bones reached out and took away the crab in Jiang Juan's bowl. Han, you can't eat too much."

Xue Fangli took out the scissors slowly and without raising his head, he said, "Got it."

Su Feiyue and Xue Fuying looked at each other, and each took a crab from the steamer.

For a moment, no one at the table spoke, Jiang Nian stepped forward, knelt down and saluted respectfully: "Jiang Nian pays his respects to the eldest princess and son-in-law, King Li and Princess Li."

After the voice fell, it was still quiet.

Jiang Nian knelt by the side, and from the beginning to the end, no one answered him, let alone asked him to stand up. Because of being reprimanded by the eldest princess before the banquet, Jiang Nian did not dare to raise his head again, but he was not concerned about this situation. Accident.

The eldest princess and the son-in-law should have left him alone and left him in the cold.

After all, the two of them are more fond of Jiang Juan, but now that Lord Hou has canceled the engagement privately, and went to the palace to ask His Majesty to give him a marriage, the eldest princess and the son-in-law should be annoyed at themselves.

In fact, Jiang Nian was not the only one who thought so.

Jiang Juan also felt that the eldest princess and the son-in-law were giving the protagonist a bad impression, after all, they were villains who hated the protagonist's acceptance.

No one spoke, Jiang Nian just knelt like this, without any grievances on his face, he behaved extremely modestly, and only wanted to reduce some bad feelings in front of the eldest princess and the son-in-law.

I don't know how long passed, Jiang Nian knelt until his legs became numb, and finally heard someone talking at the table.

"Peel it off, let's eat."

Xue Fuying pushed a small plate to Jiang Juan. The crab shell had been broken open and cut into pieces by her. Crab meat and crab roe squeezed out of the open red shell.

At the same time, Su Feiyue also gave Jiang Juan the processed crab in his hand. He glanced at the plate that Xue Fuying pushed, and said to Jiang Juan with a smile, "One is for eating, and two are for eating. Since If you haven’t eaten it, eat another one.”

Jiang Juan: "?"

He looked at Su Feiyue and Xue Fuying, then lowered his head to look at the peeled crabs, and fell into deep confusion.

So aren't they deliberately ignoring the protagonist?

Just peeling crabs for him without caring about the protagonist?

Jiang Juan: "..."

If he is held hostage, it is really not wronged.

But eating crabs and having someone help shell them is really fun.

Jiang Juan bit his chopsticks with complicated emotions, but his face was pinched suddenly, he was forced to spit out the chopsticks, and someone fed him a mouthful of crab meat.

Jiang Juan took a few bites, and the crab meat was really sweet. He didn't even look back and knew that the prince fed him. After all, the prince was very keen on feeding him.

Of course, it was indeed Xue Fangli.He looked at the crabs that Xue Fuying and Su Feiyue had peeled for Jiang Juan, moved them away calmly, and then fed the crab meat he had peeled to Jiang Juan.

The crabs were so delicious. Some people peeled their shells and others fed them. Jiang Juan struggled for less than two seconds before lying flat.

If you are held grudges, you will be held grudges. Respect for food is the most important thing.

At this time, Jiang Nian also came to his senses.

Jiang Juan said he didn't know how to eat crabs, but the son-in-law and the eldest princess didn't take it lightly, and even peeled Jiang Juan's shells with their own hands so that he could have a taste.

How could they be so nice to Jiang Juan?

The marriage contract is like this, they like Jiang Juan more than themselves, and they still like it now.He knelt for such a long time, the eldest princess and consort didn't ask him to get up, it was just because they were peeling the shell and forgot about themselves.

How is he worse than Jiang Juan?

Why is Jiang Juan more popular than him?

Regarding the marriage contract, Jiang Nian asked Jiang Shangshu in the past, even though he already knew the reason, but the attitude of the eldest princess and the son-in-law towards Jiang Juan still made Jiang Nian jealous, and he always felt that Jiang Juan was unworthy.

——Jiang Juan was just in the honor of his grandfather, who was lucky enough to save his son-in-law's life.

Jiang Nian took a deep breath to calm himself down. At the same time, Su Feiyue recalled that Jiang Nian had been passed around, and he glanced, "Are you the second son of Shangshufu?"

Jiang Nian: "Father Jiang You."

Su Feiyue gave a "hmm", Xue Fuying also glanced at it, and then said in amazement: "How could it be you?"

Jiang Nian's heart skipped a beat, as expected, Xue Fuying's next words were: "I remember you. I was still looking around when I was saluting. I don't know how to behave."

Su Feiyue smiled, and said not too surprised: "According to the time, he is kind, gentle and upright. After hearing that, I thought, no matter how kind, gentle and upright he is, it's just superficial. That's true. .”

The son-in-law's words made no secret of his dislike for him. Jiang Nian wanted to defend himself after hearing this, but he just thought that the son-in-law and the eldest princess didn't like him, so he didn't say anything and just accepted it.

But this is indeed the first time Jiang Nian has been evaluated in this way, and it is impossible to say that he doesn't care at all.

If they hadn't brought up Marquis Anping, if Marquis Anping hadn't valued them so much...

Jiang Nian suppressed his dissatisfaction, and said slowly: "What the son-in-law said is true. Jiang Nian did not do well in many places, and he can't be called kind, gentle and dignified."

After hearing this, Su Feiyue nodded, "You also think that there are many things you didn't do well? It seems that you have reflected on it. What are these bad things? Let's hear it."

Jiang Nian was taken aback, he couldn't say it well, it was just a modest statement, he thought many things, even if the starting point was not from the heart, and they were not perfect, but they were enough to find fault.

But the son-in-law asked this question, Jiang Nian had no choice but to say, "I haven't learned the etiquette yet."

"I haven't learned enough," Su Feiyue repeated, and said with a smile, "It's just that I haven't learned enough?"

"I see you don't understand etiquette at all!"

Su Feiyue suddenly raised an eyebrow, "In matters of marriage, you should follow the orders of your parents and the words of the matchmaker, but you have privately decided your life according to the time. Is this because you have not learned the etiquette?"

The son-in-law would ask such a question, Jiang Nian had already expected, he collected himself, and replied softly: "We wanted to tell the elders, but at that time, you and the eldest princess were not in the capital, and we...we didn't feel sincere."

"It's so insincere," Su Feiyue said, "Let me ask you three questions."

"Who are you, Jiang Juan?"

"……younger brother."

"What's the relationship between Zhaoshi and him?"

Jiang Nian twitched his eyelashes, and explained to him: "My son-in-law, when Lord Hou made love to me, he had already promised to dissolve the engagement, so I accepted him."

Su Feiyue was unmoved, and just snorted coldly, "I promised to dissolve the engagement. In other words, you know that the two of them have an engagement."

Jiang Nian froze, and had no choice but to nod, "Jiang Nian is clear, but..."

Su Feiyue didn't listen to his explanation, "The third question. But you know that your younger brother Jiang Juan has a marriage contract with Zhaoshi, and Zhaoshi has a crush on you, but you don't know how to avoid it at all?"

Jiang Nianqiang smiled and said: "Jiang Nian avoided it before. But no matter how I avoid it, I have known Lord Hou for many years, and I can't be too unfeeling. He and Jiang Nian are destined not to be together, but they are still friends."

Su Feiyue said word by word: "Have you ever evaded? Your evasion is to go boating with him on the lake today, and invite him for an outing tomorrow? According to the time, the two of you were entangled with him once, and it was all his fault. See otherwise."

"He is wicked, but you deliberately seduce him!"

Su Feiyue explained everything clearly without showing any sympathy.

In fact, Jiang Nian had always told himself this about Anpinghou, Jiang Juan and Jiang Nian.

He had also avoided it before—the Marquis of Anping came to invite him, he would not go there every time, but he refused many times, Marquis of Anping was depressed, Jiang Nian had no choice but to invite him again in order to take into account the mood of this friend.

He didn't want to either, but he didn't want Marquis Anping to frown.

As for Jiang Juan, as for the marriage contract between Marquis Anping and Jiang Juan—Marquis Anping fell in love with him, and Marquis Anping might promise to divorce Jiang Juan later, he had done nothing wrong, and there was nothing overstepping or irregular.

But just today, these high-sounding reasons were mercilessly dismantled by the son-in-law, and when the word "intentionally seduced" came out, Jiang Nian felt that he had been slapped severely!

"Be kind, gentle and dignified," Su Feiyue repeated these two words that Marquis Anping used to describe Jiang Nian, "Are you worthy of being so cunning?"

From the beginning to the end, Su Feiyue didn't say a single dirty word. Jiang Nian heard it, but felt that every word was like a sharp knife, piercing her body fiercely.

The little trick that no one thought would be discovered was actually seen through like this, and his embarrassment was also revealed to the world.

"Seduce my younger brother's fiancé, Jiang Shangshu really raised a good son!"

Su Feiyue said: "You Shangshufu, your father is partial to you, and it is not easy to educate you, so now I have to let an outsider to educate you - you robbed your brother's fiancé, have you ever apologized to him? ?”

"I also know that I have never apologized. Since this is the case, choosing a day is worse than hitting the sun, and hitting the sun is worse than today. Let's apologize to him."

Apologize?

When Jiang Nian heard it, all the blood disappeared from his face, and he was almost on the verge of falling.

How can he apologize?

He couldn't apologize.

If he apologized, he would admit that he knew that Marquis Anping and Jiang Juan had a marriage contract.

Jiang Nian collapsed, and was robbed of his fiancé. Jiang Juan, who was being fed by the prince at the moment, also choked. He didn't expect the son-in-law to say an explanation to himself, and it turned out to be such an explanation.

Xue Fangli has always turned a deaf ear to this farce. After all, to him, it is really Anpinghou's kindness for retiring the engagement. From the beginning to the end, he has been feeding crab meat to Jiang Juan without taking a single look away.

Seeing that Jiang Juan was choking, Xue Fangli raised his hand and patted it lightly, and said flatly, "No one is robbing you, what's the hurry?"

Jiang Juan wasn't in a hurry, he was scared.

The son-in-law's words were really ruthless. After such a humiliation, the protagonist had to apologize to himself. Jiang Juan felt that he could at least receive three vengeances from the protagonist for what happened today.

Thinking about it this way, no matter how delicious the crab was, Jiang Juan couldn't help but frowned, and he subconsciously rubbed towards Xue Fangli.

Xue Fangli looked at him a few times, then slowly raised his head.

Jiang Nian knelt on the ground, trembling all over, as if he couldn't bear any more damage and would faint in a second.

This second son of the Shangshu Mansion is too ambitious and not scheming enough. In the final analysis, it is still a word, stupid.

What did he have to be afraid of?

The faint smell of medicinal herbs hit, Xue Fangli stopped looking at Jiang Nian, and looked down again. The young man rubbed against him, and his hands gently grabbed his sleeves. It was Jiang Nian who was forced to apologize. But there was also an air of despair permeating his whole body.

After watching for a few seconds, Xue Fangli pulled him over and sat him in his arms.

Jiang Juan looked up at him. It was rare that he didn't struggle. He leaned back and was completely useless.

——I don't know why, but Jiang Juan always feels that the prince is very reliable, and feels extra safe in his arms, especially in this kind of vengeful moment of being hurt by the protagonist.

Same surname, different fate, Jiang Juan felt relieved, but Jiang Nian was still in the wind and rain.

Su Feiyue asked him: "Second Young Master, did you hear me, apologize to your younger brother."

Jiang Nian clenched his palms tightly. He couldn't apologize. An apology was an admission of these allegations.

In his previous life, he restrained himself and observed etiquette, and finally died in depression. Why can't he follow his heart in this life?

God gave him such a chance, isn't it just to let him make up for the regrets of his previous life?

Why should he apologize?

Why is he apologizing?

Marquis Anping didn't love Jiang Juan and insisted on breaking off the engagement with him, how could he be blamed?

Thinking of this, Jiang Nian's lips were tightly closed.

He resisted apologizing, but he didn't intend to confront him head-on, so Jiang Nian slowly raised his head, two lines of tears slowly shed down his face without a trace of blood, as if he was extremely wronged, and there were all sorts of hidden secrets in the matter.

This trick is effective for those friends of Anping Hou and Jiang Nian, as long as they put on this forbearance and aggrieved look, they can drive them to do anything for themselves, but it is useless for Su Feiyue.

Su Feiyue glanced at him, and said clearly: "It seems that you don't want to apologize anymore."

Jiang Nian shook his head with tears streaming down his face, "My son-in-law, I..."

What about him, Su Feiyue didn't want to hear, nor did she have the patience to listen, but there was another person who had run out of patience.

Xue Fangli said lazily: "Second Young Master, I advise you to apologize as soon as possible."

He didn't want to intervene at first, but the person in his arms was always paired with Jiang Nian, so he was extremely flustered, so Xue Fangli had no choice but to intervene.

What's there to be afraid of?

No matter how many times he told the young man that there was no need to be afraid, the young man was still afraid, so he had no choice but to stand up for him.

Xue Fangli said with a half-smile, "If it wasn't for the reminder from the son-in-law, I would have forgotten to ask you to apologize."

"I don't care about his marriage contract with Master Hou, but you have said so much about him in front of me, so you should apologize, right?"

Jiang Nian froze, and heard Xue Fangli say leisurely: "I just warned you repeatedly before, but today I suddenly want to settle these old scores with you."

"One more thing, every time this king thinks about it, he feels extremely disgusted. Second son, Lord Hou knows that the person you admire in your heart is actually—" "My lord!"

At this moment, Jiang Nian broke out in cold sweat, and his heart almost stopped beating, because Xue Fangli directly poked the most secret and most hated place in his heart.

He didn't want to admit that he was in love with King Li, and he didn't want to be known by others, especially Marquis Anping.

He didn't want to apologize, and he didn't want to apologize, but he didn't want this matter to be made public, which made him feel more ashamed than the son-in-law pointing at his nose and saying that he deliberately seduced.

Because his sincerity had been severely trampled upon.

This is the most frustrating thing in his life, something that cannot be reversed even if he lives again, and it is also something that he would grit his teeth with hatred every time he thought of it when he dreamed back at midnight.

"I apologize."

Jiang Nian said word by word, "I would like to apologize."

With all kinds of reluctance and all kinds of resistance, Jiang Nian had no choice but to look at Jiang Juan who was seated. He and Anpinghou had already been married, and there must be no extra troubles.

No matter how good Hou Ye treated him, he would definitely not be able to tolerate him having someone else in his heart, not to mention that he had already expended so much painstaking efforts, and he couldn't let it fall by the wayside.

It's just an apology.Just an apology.

Just bear it and pass.He will always get back the same shame in the future.

Thinking of this, Jiang Nian took a deep breath and said to Jiang Juan, "I'm sorry for you."

"You have a marriage contract with Master Hou, I shouldn't avoid suspicion with him, let alone overdo it, I..."

He was apologizing to Jiang Juan, but there was no trace of shame on his face. Even when he was watching Jiang Juan, a bit of resentment appeared uncontrollably.

His resentment towards Jiang Juan was so much that even he couldn't control it, even though he had much more than Jiang Juan, he couldn't help being jealous of Jiang Juan.

Just like this moment.

He was jealous that Jiang Juan had someone backing him up.

He was jealous, really jealous.

But no matter how jealous he was, it was of no avail. Marquis Anping was not there. He should have been punished after confessing to his son-in-law. If Marquis Anping had been there, he would have protected himself and tried to stop him.

He also has what Jiang Juan has, but he is still very jealous.

Xue Fangli said calmly: "Look at him with this look again, do you believe that this pair of eyeballs of yours will be plucked out for you?"

Jiang Nian's eyelids twitched, he hurriedly lowered his head, his heart was cold.

Xue Fangli said again: "You really don't know etiquette."

After finishing speaking, Xue Fangli glanced at the guard, who immediately walked towards Jiang Nian.

The next moment, someone grabbed Jiang Nian's hair, and Jiang Nian didn't even have time to cry out, he was ruthlessly pressed to the ground. He was prostrate on the ground with no dignity at all, and his scalp was so painful that it was numb.

Xue Fangli said expressionlessly, "Continue to apologize."

Jiang Nian said in a trembling voice, "Brother—ah!"

After he uttered a word, Jiang Nian was pulled up by his hair again, his eyes were red, if the tears before were just a gesture, this time it was really painful, and the tears would not stop.

"Second Young Master, who are you apologizing to?"

The man's tone was loose, but his tone was cold.

Jiang Nian said with tears, "Brother..."

Xue Fangli smiled and said, "Wrong."

After the words fell, the guard did not show mercy, but pressed Jiang Nian down again. With a "bang", his forehead hit the ground hard. stable.

"Who are you apologizing to?"

Jiang Nian realized something, moved his lips, and eagerly changed his words: "Princess! He is Princess Li! Jiang Nian is apologizing to Princess Li."

Xue Fangli smiled regretfully, "So you know."

"continue."

This time, the guard finally let go of his hand and stopped grabbing Jiang Nian's hair and dragging him to the ground. The pain was real, so that when he spoke again, it sounded quite sincere.

Jiang Nian's hair was disheveled, his forehead was covered with bloodstains, he knelt on the ground, his body was in a mess, he looked up at Jiang Juan on the table, and wept bitterly: "...I'm sorry, Princess, I shouldn't have avoided suspicion with Lord Hou, I didn't It’s time to tell the prince about you.”

"It was my fault, I was wrong..."

"I was really wrong."

Jiang Juan looked at him, but his mind was a little distracted.

The direction of the situation is consistent with the original text. The protagonist was humiliated at the banquet, but it is not completely consistent, because in the final analysis, the Hou Ye and the eldest princess are to give Jiang Juan an explanation, and Xue Fangli is also supporting him.

Jiang Juan was supposed to lose his dream because of the good fortune to play fish, but now his mind is full of other things.

When did the protagonist Shou speak ill of the prince?

Why did the prince still see the protagonist suffer behind his back? ? ?

The author has something to say: the prince concentrates on supporting the salted fish rolls.

Salted Fish Roll caught the point and got angry: ? ? ?Dog man, when did you meet him behind my back? ? ?
