Song Jiuchi's voice carried along the wind, "I'm not familiar with it.
But she and my sister-in-law are friends, and I saved her purely for my sister-in-law's sake. "
For some reason, when Qi Chu heard this, his eyes were filled with tears, and a tear fell on the back of his hand.
Jiang Wan seemed not to notice and gently wiped her hair and the back of her hands.
"Chu Chu, you have to make some ginger tea when you go back to avoid getting sick."
"Um."
Qi Chu smiled at Jiang Wan, took the towel in her hand and wiped her hair.
Cheng Jin and Song Jiuyuan were still carrying their bodies on their backs. Fortunately, the lake was not big and they quickly reached the shore.
Qiuniang, who had just seen the movement, hurriedly asked Qingshan to drive the carriage to the shore.
"Girl, Miss Qi."
"I'm going back with Chuchu first, I can't let her get sick."
Jiang Wan separated from Song Jiuyuan and Cheng Jin and took Qi Chu into the carriage.
The carriage blocked the strange sight outside, and Qi Chu couldn't help crying.
"Sister Jiang, I seem...sad."
"good."
Jiang Wan held Qi Chu in her arms, "I wanted to go down and save you just now.
But he didn't come down because you knew how to swim, but Song Jiuchi's brain couldn't keep up with the action. He must have been worried about you at that time. "
"Sister Jiang."
Qi Chu sniffed and said sadly, "The sword you gave me just now also fell."
"I know. I'll tell the prince later and ask him to send someone to salvage it."
Jiang Wan knew why she was sad, but he didn't reveal her inner thoughts.
The carriage arrived at Jiang Mansion soon, and Qiu Niang and Qiu Yan quickly prepared hot water.
New clothes were prepared for Qi Chu, and Jiang Wan went to the kitchen to make ginger soup.
As soon as the ginger soup was brought to the front hall, Song Jiuchi hurried over.
"Sister Wanwan, where is Chu Chu?"
"Washing up."
Jiang Wan's face turned cold, "A woman shouldn't catch cold easily. I'll let her take a bath."
Her eyes fell on Song Jiuchi. He had probably changed his clothes, but his hair was still wet.
"Qingshan, go get a handkerchief and wipe it with the second young master."
Jiang Wan poured a bowl of ginger soup and pushed it in front of Song Jiuchi, "Drink it."
After all, he was Song Jiuyuan's younger brother. Jiang Wan didn't show any shame for Song Jiuyuan's sake.
Song Jiuchi took a sip of the ginger soup and sat there waiting like a statue.
Nor spoke.
Jiang Wan was too lazy to care about him. Qi Chu, who had just finished washing, walked in. When she saw Song Jiuchi, she turned around and left.
"Chuchu, I can explain."
"What are you asking me to explain?"
Qi Chu thought for a while, but still didn't leave. She sat directly next to Jiang Wan.
"Sister Jiang, is this the ginger soup you made for me? Thank you."
She smiled sweetly at Jiang Wan and took a sip of the ginger soup.
Jiang Wan, who was ladling ginger soup, paused slightly. Could she say that it was what Song Jiuzhang drank just now?
No way, otherwise Chu Chu would definitely explode now.
"What's wrong?"
Qi Chu raised his eyes blankly and met Song Jiuchi, whose face was flushed.
"Chuchu..., that's what I drank."
Bada...
The spoon in Qi Chu's hand fell into the bowl. She made a few noises and said deliberately:
"unlucky."
"Chu Chu, this is just for you."
Jiang Wan filled another bowl for Qi Chu and pushed it in front of her. Song Jiuzhi rubbed his hands hesitantly.
"Sister Wanwan, can you go out for a while? I have something I want to talk to Chu Chu alone."
Jiang Wan subconsciously agreed, "But..."
"Need not."
Qi Chu said directly: "I have a good relationship with Sister Jiang, and there is nothing she can't listen to.
Just say what you want to say, and then get out of here! "
"you sure?"
Song Jiuchi looked at Qi Chu with burning eyes, and almost said these three words through gritted teeth.
Jiang Wan stood up knowingly, "Chu Chu, please take your time and chat, I happen to be busy with something."
Jiang Wan made the wrong choice for this light bulb.
After hearing this, Qi Chu didn't want to force Jiang Wan anymore, so he just turned his head and stopped talking to Song Jiuchi.
After leaving the front hall, Qiuniang on the side couldn't help but asked Jiang Wan curiously.
"Girl, the second young master is Miss Xin Yueqi?"
"You just saw it?"
Jiang Wan couldn't help but chuckle and said: "Everyone knows what he is thinking, except Chu Chu."
"I'm afraid the Second Young Master won't be able to bear it this time."
Qiu Niang's expression was a bit teasing. The master and servant sat in the garden for a while, and then they saw Qi Chu running out of the front hall with a flushed face.
Seeing Jiang Wan, he hurriedly rushed to her.
Song Jiuchi, on the other hand, glanced at them from a distance, but did not come over. He just waved his little hand and left.
When they were far away, Jiang Wan teased Qi Chu teasingly.
"Chu Chu, why is your face so red?"
"Sister Jiang."
Qi Chu patted her pink cheeks and said, "Song Jiuchi just explained to me that he didn't intentionally break the appointment."
"So you forgive him?"
Jiang Wan looked like this, which made Qi Chu feel even more embarrassed.
However, she didn't want to hide it from Jiang Wan, "I can't forgive, I just don't hold grudges.
After all, he also saved me. Besides, he did it for our Jiuzhou. "
"For Jiuzhou?"
Jiang Wan raised her eyebrows. This answer surprised her.
Qi Chu lowered his voice and said: "Song Jiuchi accidentally discovered that Forsythia and her maid did not speak the same Dafeng dialect as us.
Xu was in Northern Dynasty dialect. He was worried that the other party was targeting the prince, so he wanted to find out the truth. "
Jiang Wan subconsciously remembered what Song Qing and Mrs. Song said. Now the Northern Dynasty is eyeing Jiuzhou.
It's really possible.
"If you say that, it's really understandable."
Jiang Wan touched her chin and thought carefully, "For Jiuzhou and the prince, Song Jiuchi made a big sacrifice, and he had to sacrifice his appearance, alas."
"Sister Jiang, don't say that to him."
Qi Chu's eyes were serious, "Song Jiuchi is also doing it for Jiuzhou's good. That Forsythia can't sell herself even though she is an oiran.
If you have the ability, maybe even the Red Sleeve Pavilion is a dark network for people from the Northern Dynasties. "
Her words made Jiang Wan look a little more serious, "I understand, this kind of thing is really not a child's play.
Song Jiuchi is sensible, and the prince will solve it. It seems that we almost messed up Song Jiuchi's plan today. "
Qi Chu was a little annoyed when she talked about this, and she sighed.
"If I knew the truth, I wouldn't make a fuss, and the sword you gave me wouldn't be lost."
"Do not blame you."
Jiang Wan rubbed the top of her hair and said, "If the sword is gone, I can give it to you again."
"That was the first time Sister Jiang gave it to me."
Qi Chu wanted to go out to look for the sword, but Jiang Wan couldn't stop him. Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the lake, he saw a lot of people gathered around the lake.
As for Song Jiuyuan and Cheng Jin, they were actually there, and Jiang Wan was a little confused.
"You never went back?"
"Go back."
Song Jiuyuan helplessly held his forehead, "That boy Song Jiuchi insisted on going into the water to find a hairpin for someone.
It also attracted so many people to watch, I was afraid that something might happen to him. "
Only then did Jiang Wan notice that Hongxiuge's boat was still in the middle of the lake, while Forsythia stood on the edge of the lake looking over there.
