The eldest lady is reborn, get out of the way!

Chapter 117 The boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains

Lu Guichi didn't notice Lu Qingxiao's expression and continued, "This is what I heard from an old woman I met when I accompanied Linglong to burn incense."

"That old woman was alone and poor. Her family had some property. Later, she got married. The year she gave birth to her child, there was a disaster. The child and the elders in the family died not long after he was born."

"I originally thought that I could start over with her husband, but things didn't go as planned. She caught a cold, and the man ran away with the money."

Lu Qingxiao turned his head to look at Lu Guichi, but couldn't see the color in his eyes.

Lu Guichi continued, "She was in so much pain that she wanted to follow her parents, so she jumped into the river and was rescued."

"The person who saved her helped her to gain a foothold in the village. As time went by, the two of them fell in love and got married."

"Later, they had another child. Later, the man went to the battlefield and never came back, and the child unfortunately fell to his death while collecting herbs in the mountains."

Lu Qingxiao pursed his lips tightly, "If the government intervenes, the widow should be compensated..."

Lu Guichi smiled, unable to describe his emotion: "Brother, don't you want to know what happened to her later?"

Lu Qingxiao looked at Lu Guichi deeply and said, "You say."

"The villagers were grateful for the good deeds that the old woman's husband and children had done in the village, so they all lent a hand to her. Even though her life was difficult, there was always a glimmer of hope."

"Later, the old woman also learned paper-cutting from others. In order not to take away the business of the villagers, she went to the farther Huguo Temple Road to sell paper-cuttings, and she could barely make a living."

"Linglong burst into tears after hearing this. I was so rude that I asked the old lady why she didn't give birth again after losing her husband and son for the second time?"

"The old woman said, 'I've lived for most of my life and I'm already waist-deep in the earth. How can I know which will come first, tomorrow or an accident?' When she was young, she never thought that she would leave her hometown and live alone for the rest of her life."

After listening to this, Lu Qingxiao pinched Lu Guichi's shoulder and remained silent.

"Brother, I've said so much just to persuade you." Lu Guichi looked at Lu Qingxiao seriously: "You can't give up because of choking. If General Cen knew, he would definitely not want you to suffer like this."

"If General Cen knew, he would definitely hope that you would live a good life!"

These words suddenly popped up in Lu Qingxiao's mind after Lu Guichi finished speaking.

At that moment, Miss Jiang Liu's serious and pious expression appeared clearly in front of Lu Qingxiao.

Lu Qingxiao lowered his eyes and chuckled. The little girl didn't know what was in his heart, but it seemed that she had already told him the words of advice a long time ago.

He was just dull and had to be reminded again and again by people around him before he understood.

"Gui Chi, thank you very much." Lu Qingxiao raised the wine jar and clasped his fists towards Lu Gui Chi: "Let me drink first as a sign of respect."

Lu Guichi watched his elder brother drink up the entire jar of wine and was shocked: "Not leaving a single drop for me?"

Lu Qingxiao looked at him steadily.

When Lu Guichi's hair stood up all over his body, he heard his elder brother say, "Second uncle said that my sister-in-law doesn't like you drinking."

Lu Guichi was speechless. This was indeed true.

But this is a piece of fine Huadiao that they have hidden away!!

Lu Qingxiao stood up, stretched out his arms and jumped down from the beam: "Go to bed early."

Lu Guichi watched his elder brother's back as he left in a graceful manner. Even the light in the room went out after a short while.

He seemed a little dazed, as if he had done something good, but also seemed to have lost something precious!

-

"This one is good, and this one is also good. You are worthy of being the Princess Xuan. You are always generous!"

Aunt Shi counted the gifts that Jiang Lingyun gave to Jiang Fuyao and was very satisfied.

Jiang Fuyao looked depressed and didn't care what Aunt Shi said.

Aunt Shi didn't hear her daughter's reply. She turned around and saw that the girl was even more unhappy.

She stepped forward and patted Jiang Fuyao, who felt pain and looked at Aunt Shi fiercely.

Aunt Shi shrank back instinctively, but immediately remembered that she was the elder and wanted to put on airs and scold Jiang Fuyao.

The little maid outside knocked on the door and said that Sister Changying came to invite the fifth young lady to go to Yansiyuan.

Aunt Shi's eyebrows lit up immediately and she pushed Jiang Fuyao: "Girl, what are you standing there for? Go quickly."

Jiang Fuyao suddenly stood up and approached Aunt Shi. Just by looking at her, she dared not to move forward.

"Please ask her to wait for a moment, I'll be there soon." Jiang Fuyao said, her eyes still fixed on Aunt Shi.

Aunt Shi was a little afraid of Jiang Fuyao and didn't dare to speak.

Seeing that Aunt Shi had calmed down, Jiang Fuyao said, "Don't touch that piece of Yuehua brocade. You can do whatever you want with the rest."

Aunt Shi muttered something, and Jiang Fuyao finally couldn't hold back the anger in her eyes: "Can't you look further ahead?"

"What's the point in the long run? Can you marry into a high-class family like the Sixth Miss and let me live better than I do now?"

Aunt Shi said confidently: "If you were not so arrogant, you might not be unable to have a position in Prince Xuan's Palace. The concubines in the palace are comparable to..."

"Shut up!" Jiang Fuyao was so angry that she was shaking all over. She gritted her teeth and looked at Aunt Shi: "It's your business whether you are willing to be a concubine, but I, Jiang Fuyao, will never be a concubine!"

"If you dare to have such thoughts again, I will tell my father and let him deal with you!"

Jiang Fuyao wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, turned around and walked out.

Aunt Shi was frightened by Jiang Fuyao. She wanted to catch up with Jiang Fuyao, but was stopped by Jiang Fuyao's maid.

When I looked at Jiang Fuyao again, she had already left with Changying.

Chang Ying was good at observing people's words and expressions. Even though Jiang Fuyao looked calm, the slight redness in the corners of her eyes could not be faked.

Jiang Fuyao went all the way to Yansiyuan, trying to calm down the anger in her heart.

Her biological aunt was short-sighted and indulged in pleasure, and she even neglected her upbringing.

If she didn't have a good father and an aunt and elder sister, it's hard to say what Jiang Fuyao would be like today.

Arriving at the gate of Yansi Courtyard, Jiang Fuyao paused slightly and then walked in as usual.

Jiang Zhiyue was making tea in the tea room. When Jiang Fuyao came, the first cup of tea was ready.

Jiang Zhiyue smiled and stood up to greet Jiang Fuyao: "Good day, Fifth Sister."

"Sixth sister, Zhuang An."

"I have a small favor to do today and would like to ask Fifth Sister for help." Jiang Zhiyue smiled and pulled Jiang Fuyao to sit down.

Jiang Fuyao looked at Jiang Zhiyue, "You say."

"Fifth sister is a master of painting. I have a painting that is not perfect. I would like to ask Fifth sister to help me improve it. It is really because my brushwork is not strong enough."

Jiang Zhiyue said it frankly, her talent in literature can only be considered good.

Jiang Fuyao is a real master of ink and wash painting.

Even though Jiang Zhiyue said it so frankly, Jiang Fuyao didn't dare to agree easily. She just wanted to take a look at the painting first.

Jiang Zhiyue took her to the study, and on the desk were the paintings that Jiang Zhiyue had just finished.

That is the back mountain of Huguo Temple. There are two peaks facing each other, the mountains are beautiful, and trees grow between the cliffs.

The waterfall is hanging, the water is splashing, there are birds flying in the jungle, the afterglow of the setting sun, and a strong vitality is overwhelming.

Jiang Fuyao couldn't help but sigh after reading it, "This is already a masterpiece, what else is there to lack?"

Jiang Zhiyue's slender fingers fell on the waterfall, "Missing two double flying rainbows."
