On the other hand, my cousin, even at this time, still looks like he loves you but it's hard to say it in his heart.
With his current state of mind, how could he possibly pursue Cui Lingwei? It was no wonder that although Luo Jingshan could clearly feel Du Zechi's hostility towards him, he still did not take Du Zechi seriously.
Therefore, if Du Zechi was really interested in Cui Lingwei, what he should do at this moment is not express his dissatisfaction with Luo Jingshan, but should take the initiative to show his favor to Cui Lingwei.
However, Jiang Nianjiao probably told Du Zechi about these things, and Du Zechi probably wouldn't do what he said.
However, Jiang Nianjiao was very happy to see Du Zechi's change from ignoring Cui Lingwei before to now.
After all, not only Jiang Xiang, but also Jiang Nianjiao also felt that it would be the best thing if Du Zechi could marry Cui Lingwei.
It's just that Du Zechi obviously had no interest in Cui Lingwei at the beginning.
Therefore, it was impossible for anyone to force Du Zechi to take action despite the intention of falling flowers and the ruthless flow of water.
But now seeing Du Zechi's change of attitude towards Cui Lingwei, Jiang Nianjiao still felt that she needed to remind Du Zechi a few words.
It would also be great if the two of them could form a good relationship.
But Jiang Nianjiao watched Cui Lingwei accept Luo Jingshan's advances calmly, and she didn't know if Cui Lingwei still had a good impression of Du Zechi now.
While Jiang Nianjiao was thinking about this, everyone quickly finished their noodle soup. After that, they went to travel some more. Seeing that it was getting late, they were ready to go their separate ways.
At that moment, Luo Jingshan naturally turned around and asked Jiang Nianjiao and Zhao Yanzhen, "Do you two have a place to live in Leiyang? If you don't mind, you can go back with us."
Hearing Luo Jingshan's invitation to Jiang Nianjiao, Cui Lingwei naturally followed suit. It was obvious that she also had something to say to Jiang Nianjiao, but before Jiang Nianjiao could open her mouth, Zhao Yanzhen took the initiative to reject the invitation on Jiang Nianjiao's behalf.
He just whispered, "We have rented a house in Leiyang, so we won't disturb you anymore."
Seeing what Zhao Yanzhen said, Luo Jingshan naturally stopped trying to stay.
But when they were about to part ways, Du Zechi, who had been silent until now, took the initiative and said, "I won't go back with you today. I plan to go to my cousin's house to rest for the night."
After hearing Du Zechi's words, Luo Jingshan naturally wouldn't try to stay, but Cui Lingwei looked at Jiang Nianjiao, seeming to be reluctant to talk to her.
But as Luo Jingshan said, "Cousin Lingwei, let's go, I think my aunt is very worried about you."
Hearing this, Cui Lingwei could only nod and leave with Luo Jingshan.
After Cui Lingwei left, Du Zechi followed Jiang Nianjiao and Zhao Yanzhen back to Zhuerchong Lane where they were.
There is some distance between the new city and the old city.
Therefore, Jiang Nianjiao just followed Du Zechi and said, "Zechi, what are you thinking? Tell me the truth, are you in love with Cui Lingwei?"
Hearing Jiang Nianjiao's words, Du Zechi only whispered, "How could I like her? It's not like you don't know. It's not too late for me to hate her."
Hearing Du Zechi's duplicity, Jiang Nianjiao just said, "Since you hate her so much, why are you so hostile to Luo Jingshan when Luo Jingshan is coaxing Cui Lingwei?"
When Jiang Nianjiao asked this, Du Zechi's face immediately turned red, and he said impatiently, "Can't I hate him? At first glance, he is a hypocritical, hypocritical hypocrite."
Unexpectedly, Du Zechi reacted so strongly. Jiang Nianjiao then asked, "Did he do anything to you?"
Du Zechi said dullly, "No, I just can't stand him."
Then he just said, "So cousin, let's not talk about this."
Hearing Du Zechi's words, Jiang Nianjiao nodded cooperatively, "Okay, I'll say the last sentence."
"Actually, I think Luo Jingshan and Lingwei are a good match. I think they will get married sooner or later."
Upon hearing Jiang Nianjiao's words, Du Zechi finally showed a reluctant look.
"Sister, can you stop talking? I'm very annoyed right now." Du Zechi spoke depressedly.
When Jiang Nianjiao saw this, she just continued, "Why can't you say it? I won't say it anymore."
Don't you stop bothering me? "
Hearing Jiang Nianjiao's words, Du Zechi obviously thought it was impossible, so he just continued to be depressed. Finally, under Jiang Nianjiao's pressure, he started to show off his cards.
"I admit that I started to like Cui Lingwei a little bit. After all, I think she is not that ugly and has a very interesting personality. The most important thing is that I feel very unhappy when I see her with other people."
"But so what? There are better people chasing her now, but I have nothing. Then Luo Jingshan is a real noble son, with future ideals and ambitions. The most important thing is that he is not bad at birth, but What do I have? I have nothing, so what can I use to fight with others?" Du Zechi said in a gloomy tone.
Hearing Du Zechi's words, Jiang Nianjiao comforted her in a low voice, "How come you have nothing? Your appearance is not bad, and you are still studying in the Imperial College."
"The most important thing is, doesn't Lingwei like you? If she still likes you, then you still have a good chance of winning after her."
After listening to Jiang Nianjiao's words, Du Zechi still looked numb, "I'm afraid she may not like me now."
"If you don't give it a try, how will you know if she has a crush on you?"
"Besides, since you like her, you should also learn how to be generous and kind to others. How can others know that you like her if you don't express it? If you don't pursue her, how can she be with you? Woolen cloth?"
Hearing Jiang Nianjiao's words, Zhao Yanzhen just looked at Jiang Nianjiao and said, "You can follow my example of chasing after your cousin."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nianjiao immediately glared at Zhao Yanzhen and said, "Learn from what? Do you want to imitate the way you put a knife to my neck when we first met, or imitate the tricks you have repeatedly used on me?"
Then Zhao Yanzhen immediately defended himself and said, "I didn't know I liked you at that time."
"Jiaojiao, can I apologize? I just had an instinctive reaction at the beginning. Can you please stop being angry with me?" Zhao Yanzhen only comforted Jiang Nianjiao with words.
Hearing Zhao Yanzhen's words, Jiang Nianjiao only whispered, "Okay, I'm not talking to you, I'm teaching my cousin."
After saying that, Jiang Nianjiao just looked at Du Zechi and said, "In short, you don't need to learn my husband's tricks, because it will be useless if you learn them. If you learn Cui Lingwei, you will only think you are frivolous, but you can learn Luo Luo." Jingshan, I think he is very down-to-earth and generous like that."
Hearing Jiang Nianjiao mention Luo Jingshan, Zhao Yanzhen quickly became jealous, "So you like Luo Jingshan?"
Jiang Nianjiao just smiled and looked at Zhao Yanzhen and said, "What? Are you jealous?"
"That's natural. How am I inferior to Luo Jingshan?" Zhao Yanzhen asked dissatisfied.
Jiang Nianjiao suddenly felt as if she was being laughed at.
But she didn't forget Du Zechi in the car. She only said to Du Zechi, "Since you like her, treat her well. You won't lose anything anyway, but maybe this is your chance."
"Of course, if you feel that your love for her is not worthy of your kindness to her, then you should get out in time."
After hearing Jiang Nianjiao's words, Du Zechi didn't say anything anymore. He seemed to be thinking about Jiang Nianjiao's words.
As it got darker and darker, the coachman hung a lantern in front of the carriage, and they returned to the city soon after.
After returning to the city, the two parked the carriage outside Zhuchonger Lane.
The moonlight was dim tonight, and the crescent moon reflected the candlelight, not only illuminating the road ahead, but also clearly illuminating the scenery in the alleys. Du Zechi followed Jiang Nianjiao and whispered in a low voice. "Why does my cousin want to live in an alley like this?"
"If I don't live in this alley, then where do you think I should live?" Jiang Nianjiao asked with a smile.
Du Zechi just whispered, "Of course it's a good place, at least it can't be as bleak as here, right? Although it's very close to the city center, the house here is not very new. It doesn't look like it, at least for my cousin." You should live in a more decent mansion. It’s only a small courtyard, and it’s pretty scary on the way back at night.”
Du Zechi was obviously very dissatisfied with this place.
When Jiang Nianjiao heard this, she just whispered, "Okay, if you keep talking so much, I will drive you away directly."
As soon as he heard what Jiang Nianjiao said, Du Zechi immediately fell silent.
Sansan was walking in a quiet alley. There was no one in the alley, except for the sound of dogs barking and crickets coming from someone's yard.
Then, when they returned home, Jiang Nianjiao soon discovered that something seemed wrong at the door of their home.
At this time, Jiang Nianjiao only felt that there seemed to be a fishy smell at the door of their courtyard, and the vermilion door hidden in the darkness seemed to have a door leaf that was darker than other parts. Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but look towards that location with a lantern, and then she It was discovered that only a layer of dark liquid flowed out of the door under the lantern's illumination.
And when I shined the light with a lantern, I saw that the handwriting actually said four big characters: Give me back my life! ! !
Seeing such words, except for Du Zechi, who was unaware of the situation, and was startled, Jiang Nianjiao and Zhao Yanzhen acted very calmly. .
Aunt Jiang Nianjiao touched the liquid with her hand, looked at it, and then smelled it. The liquid exuded a fishy smell of blood, and its color was only black and red.
Looking at the blood, Jiang Nianjiao subconsciously pushed the door of the courtyard. Unexpectedly, the courtyard that had been tightly closed when they left, now opened with Jiang Nianjiao's gentle push.
Zhao Yanzhen watched all this, and naturally he did not dare to let Jiang Nianjiao, who still wanted to enter rashly, go in. After all, no one knew whether there was anyone hiding there.
After Zhao Yanzhen grabbed Jiang Nianjiao, he only signaled the secret guards outside the car to go in. The secret guards filed in naturally after receiving the order.
However, as the secret guards entered, the house was in a mess, and it seemed that there was no one else hiding here.
