"Don't worry, they won't come." Looking at Jiang Wan's anxious and angry expression, Xiao Rui decided not to tease her anymore and whispered into her ear, "Before I came here just now, I lit a bewitching incense for them …"

Bewitching Fragrance?

It was rumored to be a knockout drug!

Hearing that, Jiang Wan struggled to get up, "How can you put a bewitching incense on them?"

"It's just to let them sleep a little longer." Xiao Rui smirked, "Don't worry, I won't hurt them."

Hearing him say that, Jiang Wan calmed down, but she looked at Xiao Rui Xuan who was hugging her and muttered in her heart: If she remembered correctly, he was still injured three days ago.

"You'd better put me down quickly." Jiang Wan blushed with embarrassment, "You're still wounded …"

"It's fine …" However, Xiao Rui just smiled and sat down on the bed with Jiang Wan in her arms.

He … Did he actually intend to hug her like this all along?

With the green lakeshore wrapped around her body, the current Jiang Wan was like a caterpillar. She only stuck out her head and said with her head lowered, "It's better if you put me down … "It looks like this …"

It was really a bit inappropriate …

However, she was also so fond of Xiao Rui's warm embrace that she didn't want to leave.

He came to find me... to get the book back... Jiang Wan thought in her heart.

She turned to Xiao Rui and said, "Your book is under my pillow …"

It means you take the book and go.

"No rush …" Unexpectedly, he still carried her in his arms, as if he hadn't come for the book.

Time seemed to stop, but Jiang Wan's heart was in turmoil.

Forget it, he would just indulge himself this time.

She comforted herself in her heart. She didn't know if such a chance would come again in her life. In her previous life, she had lived such an orderly life, and in the end, she still didn't know how to end it.

Jiang Wan lazily leaned on Xiao Rui's body, greedily absorbing the unique scent from his body. As she thought back to their rare times together, her eyelids unknowingly grew heavier and heavier. She yawned slightly, then fell asleep in Xiao Rui's arms.

Xiao Rui who sat in silence for a while suddenly felt that the person in her embrace had stopped moving. She lowered her head and saw that Jiang Wan had fallen asleep in her embrace like a child.

The corner of his mouth curled up slightly, and he imprinted a kiss on her pink cheeks. Then, he carefully flattened Jiang Wan onto the bed, and helped her stretch her long hair, tucking her in.

Jiang Wan, who was sleeping soundly, stretched on the bed, suddenly remembering that she had just fallen asleep in Xiao Rui's embrace.

She hurriedly carried the blanket and sat up, looking around the room. Where was the figure of Xiao Rui?

Jiang Wan touched her pillow in suspicion, only to see that the 'Classic of Virtue' she left there before was still there.

Eh? This fellow didn't take the book away?

Jiang Wansi said.

Or perhaps it could be said that Xiao Rui had never been there, and everything was just a dream?

For a moment she felt confused.

"Fourth Miss, are you up yet?" Clove's voice could be heard from outside the room, "This has already been confirmed. The woman who was driving the carriage just now sent a message back. The master and the wife are already preparing to return home."

They didn't stay at Cat's Ear for dinner?

Jiang Wan cried out in her heart, and told Lilac to come in and help her change.

Clove pushed the curtain aside and entered with her, accompanied by an indescribably sweet scent that was both fragrant and pleasing to the nose.

"What's that?" Jiang Wanqi said.

Clove hesitated for a moment before reacting. She then took out a pink scented pouch tied with a red-water pentagram. The light pink ground was embroidered with large flowers of the same color as Jade Orchids. If one didn't look carefully, it would be impossible to tell that there were flowers embroidered on it.

The stitches on the scented sachet were smooth and fine, even better than Mama Han's cooking skills.

Not to mention anything else, just the Dark Embroidery Method alone was indeed very useful.

"From where?" Jiang Wan caressed the dark markings on the scented sachet and discovered that she liked this scented sachet more and more.

"It was sent by Aunt Zhao. She said she would thank Fourth Miss for bringing the dishes over at noon." "Jasmine and I each got a small one, and Mama Han got a handkerchief."

"Oh?" When Jiang Wan thought about how Zhao Susu, who was a knowledgeable and proficient woman, had followed the Master, she felt that Jiang Chuanzhong had really done something bad. What luck.

It was a pity that he didn't have much talent or interest in the area of the Lil 'Red. Otherwise, he could have a good lesson or two with Zhao Su Niang.

Just as Jiang Wan was about to take the scented sachet and take a good look at it, a burst of noise came from downstairs like a pig charging into a garden, accompanied by Jiang Shu's high-pitched reprimand.

Jiang Wan invisibly frowned. All the fine young ladies of the Shangguan family liked to make themselves look like a woman on the market.

"To see what's going on?" Jiang Wan looked at the lilac beside her.

Little Cai nodded her head and left. Not long later, she ran back with an anxious look on her face: "Fourth Miss, something's wrong. Fifth Miss beat Jasmine up!"

"What?" Jiang Wan stood up in shock.

Because he was just a nobody at home. Pet. As a result, everyone in her room kept a low profile and didn't want to have a direct confrontation with others. Furthermore, the two maidservants by his side were not people who would cause trouble. Most of the time, they would rather settle the matter peacefully.

And now, Jasmine, who was extremely familiar with this method, had actually been beaten by Jiang Shu?

"Let's go take a look." Jiang Wan's face darkened. When she thought of Jiang Shu's domineering nature, she knew that she was probably the one who had ignored her.

When Jiang Wan came down from the stairs with Clove, she immediately saw a jade-colored silk jacket with entwined lotus branches and a yellow robe tied around the lower half of her body. Jiang Shu, who was in a crepe dress was currently leading a group of maidservants in her room to surround Jasmine. From the looks of it, they did not even bother changing clothes and were already looking for trouble with Jasmine.

Surrounded by them, Jasmine covered her left cheek with her hand. Tears welled up in her eyes as she bit her lips with a face full of stubbornness.

Jiang Zhuzhe, who was standing opposite of her, had his hands on his hips as he angrily glared at the silent Jasmine and hooted, "Little girl, you're still being stubborn, aren't you? "Do you believe that with just a word from me, you can make mother sell you?!"

The moment Jiang Shu said this, Jiang Wan saw Jasmine, who had been standing motionlessly just a moment ago, tremble all over.

"Fifth sister, what a mighty presence." Jiang Wan supported herself up the wooden stairs covered with tung oil and slowly walked down. She looked at Jiang Shu with a smile that was not a smile and said, "I wonder how the honest Jasmine in my room managed to offend my fifth sister? It actually made you lose your temper here before you even came in here? "
