For as long as Ah Ning knelt, Jiang Zhinan stood in front of the window and watched her for a long time.

Now it was close to early morning, the sky was turning white, the temperature outside was very low, and biting cold wind would blow from time to time.

At such a temperature, even if you just stay for a short while, your whole body will be completely frozen.

What's more, Ah Ning still wears so little, and his body is so thin, I'm afraid it will be even more unbearable.

Jiang Zhinan sighed, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally opened the door, and then quickly came to stand in front of Aning, and asked her in a low voice, "Do you know what's wrong?"

Ah Ning didn't speak, just pursed her lips, her body still kneeling upright.

Seeing that she was silent, Jiang Zhinan repeated the question he asked just now: "I'm asking you something, do you know I'm wrong?"

This time Aning still didn't answer.

I don't know what she is thinking.

Jiang Zhinan frowned, then stretched his hand forward and gently lifted her chin.

In the end, this pleading was terrible, and she found that Ah Ning was crying.

Jiang Zhinan's heart skipped a beat, and a pang of distress surged up instantly.

In the more than a month of being with her, Jiang Zhinan has never seen Aning cry, and she always smiles, and softly calls Miss after him.

But this time she was crying, she looked as if she had been greatly wronged, crystal tears dripped down silently, her lips and face looked very pale, but the corners of her eyes and the tip of her nose were red.

It looks like a puppy abandoned by its owner.

"Don't cry." Jiang Zhinan said softly, then found a handkerchief from his body, and gently helped Aning wipe the tears off his face, "Get up, come back with me."

"I'm sorry Miss..." Aning shook her head, still knelt on the ground, "I'm the one who caused trouble for Miss."

When she said this, her voice was very soft, cautious and pitiful, and her appearance made Jiang Zhinan feel uncomfortable.

"Just pay attention next time." In the end, Jiang Zhinan just said that, and his heart had already softened.

She sighed, reached out to grab Aning's hand, only to find that there seemed to be something clutched in her right hand, which had never been opened.

Jiang Zhinan lowered his head to look, and saw almost dried blood from her hands.

"How did you do this?!" Jiang Zhinan was taken aback, and quickly pushed her hand away, and saw the hairpin that had been broken into several pieces at a glance.

At this moment, she suddenly understood something.

……

Aning has a fever.

After Jiang Zhinan pulled the child back into the room, he realized that her forehead was surprisingly hot.

"Go to bed and lie down for a while." She sighed, and ordered Aning to wait on the bed first, while she hurriedly prepared water and towels.

After everything was ready, Ah Ning had already closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

"Sigh." Jiang Zhinan shook his head, then slowed down his pace, stepped forward and put a wet towel on Ah Ning's forehead, and gently tucked the quilt up for her.

"Have a good sleep." She said, with tenderness in her eyes.

Aning didn't respond to her, only the pair of long eyelashes fluttered gently, seeming a little uneasy.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Zhinan got up again, hugged the quilt, and gently covered her body.

After finishing all this, the sky had completely brightened, and a maid outside knocked on the door, asking Jiang Zhinan what he would like to eat in the morning.

"Hush." ​​Jiang Zhinan opened the door, put his index finger to his lips in a silent gesture, "Be quiet, Ah Ning just fell asleep."

"Oh, oh..." The little maid responded repeatedly, with doubts in her eyes.

"Just prepare some casually. I don't have much appetite today." Jiang Zhinan said, "Also, I will ask Dong Xue to come to my room after breakfast, and I will have something to say to her."

"Understood." The servant girl responded and retreated softly.

The door in front of her was closed again, and everything inside had nothing to do with her.

The maid was thinking about things as she walked back, full of doubts.

What is the relationship between that Aning and the lady, how could he be forgiven for setting fire to the house, and now he is still lying on the lady's bed.

Also, in fact, Aning didn't fall asleep at all, right?

When I was talking to the lady just now, she obviously still had her eyes open, and there was a meaningful smile on the corner of her mouth.

However, she didn't dare to tell the young lady that Dong Xue was almost burned to death and the raging fire last night. It must be her.

Thinking of this, the servant girl shook her head and left in a hurry.

After Jiang Zhinan had eaten, Dong Xue had already been brought over by the maids.

Her expression was obviously different from usual, as if she was scared out of her wits, trembling all over her body.

"Do you know why I called you here?" Jiang Zhinan stood up from the chair, slowly came to her, and looked down at her.

"Dongxue, no..." She shook her head, originally wanted to deny it, but suddenly saw Aning lying on the bed, and her expression changed immediately.

That sentence choked in my throat for a moment, and finally turned into: "I'm sorry miss, it's all Dong Xue's fault, please spare my life!"

"What's wrong?" Jiang Zhinan asked, "Tell me about it in detail."

"Understood..." Dong Xue responded, starting from the time when Aning won her, until she sneaked into Aning's house, broke her hairpin, and made her love for Aning Jealousy and all the bad things she did.

Jiang Zhinan listened to it for a long time, and felt that this girl was also very good at acting, even if she really wanted to take revenge on Ah Ning, it would be wrong to throw her hairpin.

But since she was pitifully blind in one eye, it would be unjustifiable for him to punish her too harshly.

So in the end, Jiang Zhinan just fined her with three months' wages as a punishment, and at the same time it was a warning to other people, don't provoke each other if it's okay.

So far, this matter has passed.

Ah Ning had a fever for several days, and after recovering from the illness, his body and bones were obviously not as healthy as before.

Jiang Zhinan saw her like this, so he intentionally shortened the time he spent teaching her, and told Aning to go out more if he had nothing to do, so that his body would naturally recover faster.

Aning promised one by one, and if she really did as she asked, she would go out for a stroll after each class.

Actually... even if Jiang Zhinan didn't ask her that much, she would still do it.

She wanted to see what kind of harvest her own fire had brought her.

After all, she has only come here not long ago, and she is not as good as those old people in the mansion in terms of qualifications and connections. Even though others have never shown it clearly, Ah Ning can still feel it.

That xenophobia.

The reason why Dong Xue was unhappy with her was because she was too close to the young lady, so she naturally aroused jealousy.

At that time, she originally wanted to deal with Dong Xue in private, so the risk would be small, but she was [-]% confident that she could escape, so that no one would attribute Dong Xue's death to herself.

But... after this?

After a long time, she couldn't tell how many "Dong Xue" would jump out to make trouble.

Instead of doing this, she might as well kill the source from the beginning, and let everyone know that if she is angered, the consequences will be absolutely disastrous.

Miss can only have her by her side.

Thinking of this, Ah Ning smiled, walked into the kitchen, stood next to the cook and looked down at her preparing lunch, with joy in her eyes.

"Go, go!" The cook didn't see that it was her at first, and then sternly shouted, "Who, didn't you see that I'm busy here, don't make trouble if you have nothing to do!"

"I want to learn how to cook from you and improve my skills." Aning said softly, instead of leaving, he moved forward again.

The cook frowned and raised her head to look. When she saw that it was her, she burst into a smile and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I'll teach you. I'm... just not very busy right now."

There was obviously a bit of fear in the words.

Aning raised the corners of her mouth and asked her with a smile: "What are you doing?"

"I'm steaming steamed buns." The cook said hastily.

"Then I'll learn this from you today." Aning nodded, then went to concentrate on washing her hands, and said to her very politely, "Excuse me."

"No thanks, no thanks." The cook said, picking up a piece of noodles and putting it in Ah Ning's palm.

"Why...you suddenly remembered to learn how to cook?" Then she asked, her words and deeds were extremely careful.

"I want to make it for Miss." Ah Ning said, her eyes brightened, "I tried to make it for Miss once before, but she didn't seem to like it very much."

After all, after that time, she accidentally saw Jiang Zhinan's soup poured into the flower pot, even the vegetable leaves were still hanging on the flower root.

So from then on, she understood that the food she cooked was very unpalatable, but the young lady forced herself to say it was delicious in order to take into account her feelings.

What a gentle person.

Aning raised the corner of her mouth.

It was because of these little things in life that she, who was about to settle accounts with Dongxue at that time, made her take a gamble.

Naturally, it was a bet on whether Miss would save her.

Now it seems that he obviously won the bet.

But to be honest, even if the lady at that time didn't save her, she would definitely not have the slightest complaint. After all, she chose the path herself, and whether she lives or dies depends entirely on her own destiny.

At that time, Aning thought a lot and made countless assumptions in his heart. He thought that no matter what happened after that, his mentality would be very calm.

But I have to say, the moment she saw Jiang Zhinan kneeling down to save herself, she still couldn't hold back a few tears.

She has to... grow up quickly, so that the lady who would rather give up her dignity to save her can live a lifetime of happiness.

The happiness she brings.
