Jiang Ruyan froze, and when she turned around, she saw a face she hadn't seen for a long time.
Xia Yunhan was silent for a long time before he came forward to greet her. She left without saying goodbye. The Xia family sent people to search for her for a long time but there was no news. He didn't expect to meet her again in the Hou Mansion today.
Jiang Ruyan's face turned pale. The man in front of him glanced at the brushes scattered on the ground and frowned.
"Brother Yunhan, this, I accidentally knocked it over..."
"how are you recently?"
Unexpectedly, Xia Yunhan interrupted her explanation very calmly.
Jiang Ruyan couldn't help but be startled, all her defenses suddenly collapsed at this moment, and Douda's tears couldn't stop falling.
"Not good, not good at all."
When she was unexpectedly pregnant, if her belly hadn't been able to hide it, she wouldn't have wanted to leave the Xia family at all.
She originally planned to wait until the child was born and then force Liu Chengyu to give her a status, but she didn't expect that he would be ordered to go to war on the day he married Xia Yunxian!
Jiang Ruyan felt that her life was really miserable. Even though she had thousands of regrets in her heart, she could only take her two children to the countryside to find another way out. But on the way, she unexpectedly met Liu Chengyu who was hiding everywhere!
With such ups and downs in life, she felt that her good days had finally come, but why did Xia Yunxian always block her way...
Xia Yunhan's expression moved slightly. He was about to raise his hand to pat the top of her head like before, but his movement froze in mid-air.
"Actually, my brother didn't blame you. Mother's dowry was originally reserved for you."
What? !
Jiang Ruyan's eyes changed, and she raised her head in disbelief. The loving face of the general's wife could not help but appear in front of her eyes, and countless warm scenes flooded into her mind.
"You, you lied to me."
Jiang Ruyan pursed her lips tightly. He must have wanted to see her feel guilty and blame herself, and wanted her to bow her head and apologize!
No matter how much Madam loves her, she can never treat her as her biological daughter!
Xia Yunhan sighed in his heart. He never knew that Jiang Ruyan had such a deep prejudice against their Xia family. At the moment, he could only let out a long sigh.
"Whether you believe it or not, you can't go back..."
Since the eldest sister didn't tell him about sister Ruyan, there must be complicated entanglements. "Anyway, I hope you get what you want."
After leaving such words, Xia Yunhan had already put away his nostalgia and turned around calmly. This was his heartfelt blessing to her, but it was also his final farewell.
Jiang Ruyan's body swayed and he almost lost his footing.
But soon, a trace of hatred appeared in her eyes. Could it be that Xia Yunhan thought that if he didn't scold her, she would be so ashamed that she couldn't help herself?
He is right, there is no going back!
It is precisely because she has betrayed so much that there is no turning back!
Jiang Ruyan took a deep breath. She must become a master and let those who once looked down on her know that she was right!
In the corner, a gloomy-looking man had already seen her ambitious expression.
…
“These vegetarian dishes are so unique and taste even sweeter than meat dishes!”
At the banquet, the noble ladies looked at the exquisitely carved side dishes in front of them and were full of praise.
Xia Yunxian smiled softly, and truly felt that Jiang Ruyan was indeed smart. She had made this kind of vegetarian diet when she was studying medicinal diet in the general's mansion. Unexpectedly, she actually remembered it.
Everyone would only think that this was an ingenuity of the Hou Mansion, but they would never have thought that it was actually Jiang Ruyan who was too shy to bring out expensive ingredients.
"Sister."
Xia Yunhan came to Xia Yunxian's side cautiously. The two looked at each other and were silent for a long time.
"Second Young Master, please take your seat quickly. The Princess has been thinking about her very much these days!" Chunxiao spoke quickly and placed Xia Yunhan at the table next door.
"Today is the birthday of two nephews. Yun Han brought some greeting gifts." He paused and then said, "As for Han'er, I still hope that the eldest sister can understand me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Yunxian gave him a warning look.
Xia Yunhan felt like something was stuck in his throat. He also knew that it was not appropriate to mention Su Han on this occasion, so he just went to the backyard to talk in detail, but he never thought that the two of them had missed it.
Xia Yunxian saw him sitting on pins and needles, but she didn't expect that he was still so stubborn after being calm for so many days.
"Yun Han is really worried. I wonder how she is doing at her village in the countryside..." Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Xia Yunhan's eyes flashed and he followed everyone's gaze, and his expression suddenly changed!
"Ha, it's so lively, am I late?"
Seeing Bai Yujing striding over with a few guards in high spirits, Xia Yunhan almost jumped up from the table, but fortunately Xia Yunxian held him down in time.
The ladies present had different expressions, some were frightened, some were surprised, and most of them were shy.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the uninvited guest, and soon Mrs. Liu and Liu Chengyu nervously greeted him.
Just as he was about to salute, Bai Yujing waved his hand and said something rudely.
"The old lady and the prince don't need to be polite, just treat this as their own home. Come on! Pour some wine!"
Liu Chengyu's expression froze and he looked at Jiang Ruyan in the corner with confusion.
What's going on, you actually invited this nasty traitor here?
This place was originally his home, but Bai Yujing regarded herself as his master!
Jiang Ruyan is also full of weirdness. Even if she was given a hundred courages, she would not dare to send an invitation to the Bai Mansion!
"He, he must be here to see Han'er!"
Xia Yunhan's body couldn't help but tremble, and he felt more and more that he might have been exposed, and the warning from his eldest sister had already appeared in his mind.
Even though he tried his best to stay calm, Xia Yunxian still caught the anxiety and tension in his eyes.
He obviously vowed before that he would shoulder the responsibility, but now he is afraid!
"I heard that a pair of children adopted by the Marquis Mansion are very smart. Since I am here, I must give them a big gift at least."
Bai Yujing smiled more and more kindly, but Xia Yunxian, who was not far away and was pondering his intentions, felt something in his heart. The more this man acted harmless, the more it meant someone was going to be unlucky!
But Mrs. Liu was overjoyed. She only thought that the Dali Temple Minister would definitely be generous in his actions, and her sweet grandson would indeed be prosperous, and all good things would come as he did!
"Thank you, Lord Bai! Thank you, Lord Bai!"
Liu Chengyu felt like he was facing a formidable enemy. He wanted to refuse, but unexpectedly his mother actually responded with gratitude!
Just as he was about to signal his servants to take the two children away quickly, even if they were unwell, unexpectedly, the two small figures were escorted over by the guards brought by Bai Yujing!
Under the gaze of everyone, the atmosphere felt unspeakably tense and depressing.
Where is the gift here?
It seems like they are here to interrogate prisoners!
At this time, even Mrs. Liu noticed something was wrong. Bai Yujing raised her eyebrows and didn't even look at them.
"As expected, you are like a dragon and a phoenix. I happen to have no children, so how about I take you in? Come on, call me your foster father!"
