The heroine forced me to fall in love with money

Jiang Zhinan put Aning back very early this time.

After all, she just finished the competition with Dong Xue this morning, and she studied for such a long time in the afternoon, so she should go back to rest early, or her body would not be able to bear it at all.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhinan put away the books spread out on the table, and softly told Ah Ning to go back and rest.

"Miss, will you stop teaching for a while?" Ah Ning obviously didn't want to leave, and his eyes looked a little hesitant.

"No, go back and rest." Jiang Zhinan said righteously.

"Alright then." Seeing that there was no room for further negotiation, Aning blinked and could only agree softly.

She got up and stood up from the table, and helped clean up the sundries on the table, then opened the door and walked out.

Before leaving, he told Jiang Zhinan to rest well, and he would come back tomorrow.

"Understood." Jiang Zhinan responded, waving his hand at her lightly.

Aning slightly raised his lips to smile, and soon disappeared into the night.

"Actually, sometimes it's not a good thing for a child to be too studious." After she left, Jiang Zhinan sighed softly.

But the tone still sounded proud.

……

After Ah Ning went back, he planned to take a bath first.

Perhaps it was because her body was too tight during the competition with Dongxue today, causing her muscles to feel a little sore after relaxing, and she needs to take a hot bath to relieve it.

Thinking of this, Ah Ning put down the things in his hand, turned around and went to prepare hot water again.

After that, she took off the jade hairpin, took off her clothes, went to the inner room, stepped on the small stool under her feet, and got into the bathtub to take a bath.

To say that she had never been treated like this before.

Since she was sensible, she has been living in that narrow and small room, sleeping with seven or eight girls.

Some of the girls looked a little older, about fourteen or fifteen years old, while others were about her age, and they were all half-children.

Aning didn't know how he got here, and he had never met his parents or brothers and sisters.

The older children told her that this is your home, and you have to call the man in charge father, otherwise not only will there be no food, but you will also be beaten severely.

Also, you must listen to that man, and don't try to escape, or you will end up in a very miserable situation.

There are many rules.

At that time, Ah Ning still didn't understand much, but seeing the sister's eyes, she unconsciously shut up, and kept all these rules and principles in her heart, and didn't dare to ask any more questions.

The days passed in such a muddle.

Until a year later, that sister suddenly disappeared.

Ah Ning searched around but couldn't find her, so she quietly went to ask other people, and only then did she know that her sister had been sold.

At that moment, Aning understood everything in an instant.

Ah Ning soaked in the bathtub, letting the warm water flow over his skin, thinking a lot for a while.

I also tried to think about it, if there is no Miss, what would I be like now.

Just when she was lost in thought, the gauze curtain hanging on the door of the inner room suddenly moved, even though the movement was small, it still caught her attention.

Obviously, when I came back, I had already closed the doors and windows, even if there was wind seeping in through the cracks in the windows, it would never have such a strong force to blow the not-so-thin gauze curtains.

Unless someone sneaked in with a gust of wind.

who is it? !

Aning stood up abruptly from the bathtub, picked up the clothes hanging on the wooden rack, wrapped them around her body, and was about to go out.

But still a step too late.

From outside... suddenly there was a crisp sound.

Aning's eyes widened immediately.

She rushed out of the inner room almost like crazy, but she didn't see the figure of the person who came, and the person took the door and fled before her.

All that was left was her precious jade hairpin, which had been broken into several pieces now.

Ah Ning slowly came to the jade hairpin and squatted down, picked up the broken jade hairpin little by little and put it in the palm of his hand.

The corners of his eyes turned red unconsciously.

That person obviously came prepared, he didn't steal anything, he didn't grab anything, he just broke her jade hairpin.

But this jade hairpin is her most precious treasure, seeing it shattered into such a state makes Ah Ning feel more uncomfortable than cutting her heart with a knife.

It wasn't too long since she came to the mansion, and she didn't even have time to make enemies with anyone.

Except... Dongxue.

Aning held the broken hairpin and stood up again.

Recently, there will be fog outside at night, so the ground will also be a little wet. People who have walked on it for a long time will leave faint footprints when they return to the house.

If you don't observe carefully, you won't find it at all.

Aning lowered his head, and walked forward while observing the shallow footprints on the ground.

Regardless of the size and depth, they all match the winter snow very well.

Aning looked sideways and picked up the candle on the table.

……

Jiang Zhinan's sleep quality is light.

But because the ancients went to bed earlier, there was almost no sound outside after dark, so she slept comfortably on weekdays.

But today, she didn't know what was going on. When she was sleeping soundly, she suddenly heard shouts erupting outside.

It was like a thunderbolt exploding in his ear, instantly awakening Jiang Zhinan.

Before she had time to find out what happened, the door of the room was pushed open, several maids rushed in, hurriedly supported her and went out.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Zhinan was taken aback by them, and asked in a panic.

"There's a fire!" said the maids, all of them pale, "Miss, run!"

That is, when they had just finished saying these words, Jiang Zhinan really smelled a burnt smell.

When she went out, she immediately saw very intense smoke and flames.

The place where the fire broke out was not too far away from her, otherwise how could the maids come to rescue her in such a hurry.

"Where is A-Ning!" Jiang Zhinan was stunned for a while, then suddenly remembered A-Ning, and quickly turned around to look for him.

"Don't look for Ah Ning!" The maid next to her cried, "A Ning is crazy! She set the fire!"

"What?!" Jiang Zhinan was immediately shocked.

……

When she arrived at the scene, the fire was almost extinguished.

Aning is also there at this moment, but has been captured by the servants and forced to kneel on the ground, her hair is a little messy.

Jiang Zhinan looked at her, and saw a trace of stubbornness in her eyes.

The house that was burned was Dong Xue's room, but luckily she was alive, she was not dead, but she seemed to be blinded by the smoke in one eye, and she was kneeling on the ground crying right now.

But this is not the main thing, it's just a maid, even if she dies, it's not a novelty at all in the decaying ancient times.

The big reason for this was the fire that Aning set off. The servants grabbed her and interrogated her for a long time, but they didn't find out why. In the end, they even alarmed the prefect Jiang.

"Bastard!" Jiang Taishou was obviously very angry. As soon as he came over, he slapped Aning hard. The slap made her dizzy, and blood oozes from the corner of her mouth.

"Shoot her to death!" After the slap, Jiang Taishou was obviously still angry, so he gave another order, wanting to execute Aning directly.

How could Jiang Zhinan agree.

"Father!" Before Taishou Jiang could say anything else, she hurriedly stepped forward, "You can't execute her!"

"Why not?!" Jiang Taishou asked, his voice sounded extremely serious, and he was furious, "This kind of bastard dares to set fire to the house, there is no reason to protect such a person!"

"My daughter is begging you!" Jiang Zhinan said, "Ah Ning is my daughter's maid, and I usually tell her to act so recklessly because I can't teach her well. My daughter must punish her well when she goes back."

"That won't work either!" Prefect Jiang still didn't agree.

Seeing him like this, Jiang Zhinan had no choice but to grit his teeth and throw himself on the ground to kneel.

This time, not only Jiang Taishou, but even Ah Ning who was captured widened his eyes.

"I beg you, leave her to me." Jiang Zhinan said, "It's up to you to decide how to deal with your daughter, whether she lives or dies. If you don't allow her, she won't be able to kneel forever!"

"You!" Prefect Jiang was completely speechless by her this time, and blushed from anger.

Jiang Zhinan's eyes were extremely determined, as if there was no room for negotiation.

"That's all!" In the end, Jiang Taishou had no choice but to agree to her because of a little servant and his daughter.

Jiang Zhinan quickly thanked him, fearing that he would change his mind, he quickly asked those people to let go of Aning, and took her away quickly.

It's just that his face is very gloomy.

Aning followed behind, and remained silent all the way, never saying a word.

In this way, the two soon returned to the place where they lived.

"Kneel down." Jiang Zhinan said this the moment he stepped into the courtyard.

Aning didn't speak, and didn't ask the reason, and just knelt down on the ground with a plop.

"Don't go to sleep tonight." Jiang Zhinan looked at her with disappointment in his eyes, "Think carefully about the consequences of your actions."

"Understood, Miss." Aning agreed in a low voice.

"Speak up!" Jiang Zhinan yelled at her.

"Understood!" Ah Ning knelt down and shouted, the expression on his face was still the same as before, and there was no emotion in his eyes.

But the hand holding the hairpin was already tightly clenched, and even the skin was punctured, and a few drops of blood slowly dripped out.
