But he said that it was not just people from Rong Ning's second house who were affected by Jia Zhenbo this time.

The next day, Aunt Xue heard a report early in the morning that when Xue Pan was having a drink with her friends last night, she unexpectedly learned that Jia Zhen was infected with a heart disease, and she was so frightened that she screamed in the middle of the table.

Nowadays, everyone knows that he is Jia Zhen's comrade. Originally, the reputation of the stupid overlord has already affected the marriage, but now I am afraid it will be even more...

Aunt Xue was so angry about this that she didn't even eat breakfast, so she took a close servant girl out to relax.

When I was walking around in circles near the peach blossom forest, I suddenly saw a burly figure walking from a distance, but who could it be if it wasn't Jiao Shun?

Thinking of the wood carvings, Aunt Xue subconsciously hid in the peach grove. She didn't let out a sigh of relief until Jiao Shun hurried away.

Looking back, she saw the servant girl looking at her in confusion. Aunt Xue explained hurriedly and wisely: "I didn't see it clearly just now, so I thought it was a foreigner. Later I saw that it was Brother Shun, but it was hard to show up again.

"

The servant girl knew that Aunt Xue was worried about Xue Pan just now, and it was nothing to be distracted for a moment, so she didn't think much about it.

Instead, he stretched his neck, looked a few times in the direction where Jiao Shun disappeared, and then turned around and said: "Madam, Uncle Jiao seems to have gone to Yihongyuan. I think he is probably looking for Bao for the car-making business."

Second Master discussed it."

"Can Baoyu understand this?"

Aunt Xue heard this and said helplessly: "Why don't you point your fingers at your sister and let Zhou Rui take care of it?"

Seeing that she seemed a little worried, the servant woman quickly comforted her and said, "This may not be a bad thing. Since the second master doesn't care about it, when our girl comes through, she will naturally be in charge of all these things."

"Alas~"

Aunt Xue sighed and hesitated to speak, but then she thought of her sister from these words. Didn't Jia Zheng just ignore the things outside the window and only read the books of sages?

The old lady takes care of all the big things in the family, and all the trivial matters are shouldered by my sister. She wakes up early and stays late at night, never daring to be hasty. Who would have thought of working hard and enduring hardships, but ended up in this situation?

I'm just afraid that Baochai will...

She shook her head, temporarily putting these worries behind her mind, and greeted the accompanying maid back to the Qingtang thatched cottage in low spirits.

However, when she returned home, she became increasingly restless and anxious, so she unconsciously took out the wooden sculpture again, held it in her hand and rubbed it carefully, her eyes gradually becoming blurred.

But he didn't know whether it was because he had just met Jiao Shun, or whether he had been teased a lot by Baochai recently, but his late husband's voice and smile and Jiao Shun's figure appeared in front of his eyes alternately.

There are even some memories related to the deceased husband that appear to be ostentatious...

Not to mention, Jiao Shun and Baochai's father are quite similar. They are both tall and burly with Chinese characters - otherwise Xue Pan would not have been born.

What the hell are you thinking?!

Aunt Xue secretly spat, covering her red and hot cheeks, feeling ashamed and ashamed, feeling that she was probably obsessed with being so disrespectful to her late husband.

Never do this again!

Aunt Xue bit her silver teeth and swore secretly. She immediately wrapped the wooden sculpture with a square kerchief, put it in her sleeve, got up and walked out.

Everything started with this thing, so it would be better to return it to its original owner as soon as possible and put an end to it!

After making up her mind, Aunt Xue deliberately dismissed all the servants and maids around her, and left the hut in Qingtang alone. In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, she chose a secluded path to detour.

She was not a determined person in the first place. She walked alone over the mountains and ridges, so she couldn't help but beat her heart. For a moment, she was embarrassed about how to speak when she saw Jiao Shun; for a moment, she was worried that Jiao Shun would ask her.

, why did it take so long for the property to be returned to its original owner?

Furthermore...

Although there was a reason for the incident, if I, a widowed woman, came alone to intercept a young man, how could I tell her clearly if I was caught by someone?

The more she thought about her steps, the more hesitant she became, but she had already come this far and she didn't want to give up halfway.

When I was in a dilemma, I suddenly saw two familiar figures flashing out in front of me. Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be the master and servant Wang Xifeng and Heping'er.

"Feng Ya..."

She shouted subconsciously, but halfway through she realized something was wrong. She obviously wanted to avoid being seen, but why did she take the initiative to greet Feng Yatou?

But it's too late to regret it.

Opposite Wang Xifeng was startled at first, then came forward with a smile on his face, and said softly from a distance: "Why are you here, old man? You just scared me."

"this……"

Aunt Xue didn't know how to explain for a while, so she had to ask awkwardly: "Girl Feng, you are not a director in the front yard, why are you here?"

"~"

Wang Xifeng flicked the handkerchief in her hand and complained half-truthfully: "Haven't you heard about what happened yesterday? I know it was their men who made it dirty, but those who don't know think that we are also dirty! Isn't that right?

, I was really depressed and panicked, so I just took Ping'er to find some peace."

In fact, she also noticed that something was wrong with Aunt Xue, but she had no choice but to feel anxious in her heart. Naturally, she did not dare to ask questions rashly, so she rushed to make up an excuse.

Not thinking about this excuse, she reminded Aunt Xue, and she hurriedly echoed: "What can I say! That kid Wenlong got the news while having a drink yesterday, and he started shouting in the middle of the table. It was so troublesome... Oh! I was already

I'm worried about his marriage, and now I finally have some clues about it. Whoever would have thought of it would end up in such a thing again."

"It's all Brother Zhen's fault!"

Hearing that Xue Pan had also been tricked, Wang Xifeng was not surprised, and immediately criticized Jia Zhen with the same hatred: "It's just that he is ridiculous alone, but he wants to drag the whole family into the water. This must be spread outside."

...Oh, if I don’t say it anymore, it will make people’s hearts ache when they are angry!”

She raised her hand to rub her heart, and suddenly the conversation changed: "Qi Gui Qi, but it's not a problem for you to be a loner. What if you bump into each other? Why don't I let Ping'er take care of you?"

You go back...

…”

"No, no!"

Aunt Xue hurriedly waved her hand to refuse, and said with a forced smile: "I, I will go back after a round trip from here. When I get to Yihongyuan, I will be on the right road. It won't be in the way, it won't be in the way!"

Wang Xifeng and Heping'er secretly exchanged glances, and both felt that Aunt Xue's behavior today was really weird.

If the time had changed, Wang Xifeng would definitely have explored it, but it was so easy to make an appointment with Jiao Shun today, so how could he miss the opportunity?

At that moment, he had no choice but to say: "Since my aunt said so, I am not too busy, so you must be careful where you step."

"I can save it, I can save it."

Aunt Xue was afraid that it would be difficult to escape if she continued talking, so she hurriedly said goodbye to the two of them and hurried along the path to Yihongyuan.

"Hey~"

Watching Aunt Xue's gourd-like figure disappear around the corner, Wang Xifeng poked Ping'er's waist with great interest: "You said that Aunt Xue is so flustered and secretive, what on earth is she going to do?

"How do I know?"

Ping'er refused to make random guesses as she wanted: "It must be something urgent - let's take care of ourselves, why bother with so many things."

Wang Xifeng put her hand on her waist and said in a strange tone: "Hey, what you ate at Jiao's house yesterday was leopard bile, and you taught me a lesson!"

Yesterday, I went back with a happy aftertaste, and I had already heard her say a lot of sarcastic words. Ping'er didn't bother to think about it anymore, so he took out his pocket watch, took a look at it, and then handed it to Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng was immediately discouraged and said in a waning tone: "Come on, there is nothing special about my aunt. Is it possible that she is here to steal men like us?"

With that said, he urged Ping'er to leave quickly.

Let’s go back and talk about Aunt Xue.

She turned the corner and walked a few more steps, then looked back. When she was sure that she was out of Wang Xifeng's sight, Aunt Xue let out a deep breath, raised her wet palm and shook half of the mountain with a powerful slap.

When she faced Wang Xifeng just now, her heart was beating like a drum. Even when she got married twenty years ago, she had never been so scared and worried.

However, despite being frightened, Aunt Xue was inexplicably excited, and even more delighted that she had successfully deceived Wang Xifeng.

It turns out that I can do such a thing...

It took a while before Aunt Xue remembered her purpose. Worried about not being able to catch Jiao Shun in time, she hurriedly picked up her skirt and ran towards Yihongyuan.

But after so many years of pampering, how often has she run and jumped like an ordinary person?

In addition, my body was made of water. After running for a hundred steps, I started to huff and puff and sweat profusely, so I had no choice but to slow down.

Finally arriving at the peach blossom forest near Yihong Courtyard, she began to feel uneasy again. One moment she was worried that Jiao Shun had left, and the other moment she didn't have the courage to face Jiao Shun face to face.

Just at this moment, Jiao Shun's familiar burly figure flashed out from the water verandah in front of Yihongyuan, striding towards the three-way intersection here.

Aunt Xue's heart suddenly rose to her throat, she clenched her pink fist so tightly that her nails almost dug into the tender flesh of her palm.

Seeing Jiao Shun getting closer and closer, every step seemed to step on her heart, making her heart beat heavier and more intense, so much so that Aunt Xue thought about withdrawing several times.

The two long legs tucked into the skirt swayed uncontrollably.

She even had a flash of inspiration in her mind, thinking that the wood carving did not have to be returned to Jiao Shun. Burning or burying it would also stop her from thinking about it!

This thought made me retreat even more violently.

However, what Aunt Xue didn't expect was that when Jiao Shun arrived at the three-way intersection, after looking around a few times, he did not choose to leave from the main road. Instead, he followed the path that Aunt Xue passed by when he came, and walked towards the depths of the Grand View Garden.

go.

What is he going to do?

Aunt Xue's curiosity overcame her panic for a moment, and her hands were no longer shaking and her legs were no longer weak. She almost didn't think much and just followed her step by step.

She followed Jiao Shun for a while, but found that they were all paths she had walked, and further ahead was the place where she met Wang Xifeng.
