Yin Xin poured tea for them, and the consciousness stood outside the curtain.

Gong Jingchen sat down, raised her head and drank a glass of wine, suppressing the strange feeling in her body.

Jiang Wanhe saw a sudden flash of panic in his cousin's eyes, and hurriedly looked away.

It's understandable that the head of the family is here, but why is the cousin here?

Are they all here to stop her from investigating her murderer?
"Wanwan?" Seeing Jiang Wanhe not speaking, Gong Lianshan called out again.

Jiang Wanhe said, "Thank you for your concern, father. I'm much better now."

Gong Lianshan nodded with a warm smile on his face, "It takes a lot of self-cultivation to heal your broken bones. If you need anything, send someone to tell Butler Ke that even if it's the moon on the sea, we'll get it for you!"

"Father was joking. It's hard to fish for people on the ground. How can we fish for the moon on the sea?"

Gong Lianshan coughed to cover up his embarrassment and said, "This is the critical moment for me to compete for the six ministerial orders. I will ask someone to investigate your matter. When I reach the first rank, I will not be able to win in this capital."

Jiang Wanhe followed the words and asked, "How long will it take until father gets what he wants?"

"This"

The disputes in the court are no less than the fights between merchants. There are two people competing with him to choose the minister. Those two families also entered the Sixth Ministry at the same time. Who has no backer behind them?

So he couldn't tell an exact time.

At this time, Butler Ke approached and reminded softly outside the curtain, "Master"

Butler Ke's tone was urgent, and it seemed that he had something important to convey.

Gong Lianshan waved her hand to wait, walked outside the door, and listened to Butler Ke whispering in his ear through a half-open window.

Jiang Wanhe looked away and saw her cousin sitting at the table getting up and speaking to her.

Gong Jingchen walked to the tea couch and said, "Brother and sister, does the wound hurt?"

No nonsense?

Jiang Wanhe replied, "It's okay."

She looked at the owner of the house outside the window, wondering why he hadn't come into the house yet, so hurry up.

Because when Gong Jingchen approached her, she felt a silent panic, which in the end was attributed to a sense of oppression.

Gong Jingchen was in great pain, so she ran up the mountain? She didn’t know how to run down the mountain?

Are you blaming her for being in a hurry and causing trouble for them?
"If it weren't for the place on the mountain that can be sheltered from the wind and hidden, and I could run down the mountain with my legs and a cotton cloak, the person who is talking to my cousin now would probably be a ghost."

Gong Jingchen lowered her eyebrows and raised the corners of her mouth calmly, "Brother and sister, that's what you said."

"But I'm still a little curious. What strange thing happened in such a hungry and cold night?"

Who asked him?
Jiang Wanhe's breath was stagnant, and he swallowed unconsciously, "."

"Of course there won't be anything strange!"

Sitting Jiang Wanhe was arrogant and anxious, but standing Gong Jingchen was always fearless.

"But I heard there are wolves in the mountains, why not?"

What does it mean?
Do you wish she would be eaten by a wolf?

Suddenly a gust of wind blew outside the house, blowing the blanket on Jiang Wanhe's legs half open, revealing her smooth and delicate calves.

Jiang Wanhe felt a little cold and sat up straight to touch the blanket, but Gong Jingchen got there first and pulled the blanket back onto her lap to cover it.

Gong Jingchen pressed the corner of the blanket back into the gap under her legs, and his knuckles would more or less touch her skin. He looked at her with his clear eyes, "As long as you mention it, as long as I say it, it's easy for you to find anyone. "

Jiang Wanhe raised his head suddenly and met his eyes. He was cold and distant to her, but he would always help her at critical moments. Why?
He was so 'enthusiastic' back then, always showing up when she was sad, frustrated, or crying, but she didn't need it at all, or in other words, she just wanted to accept Gong He'an's help.

"Late night?"

Hearing Gong Lianshan shouting outside, Jiang Wanhe turned his head and refused, "I know what to do myself!" After Gong Lianshan finished his official duties and entered the house, he saw his nephew returning to the table to serve tea, and the jade hanging on the curtain It made a 'ding dong' sound after being hit, but nothing happened.

"Jing'er, let's go and let her rest."

Gong Jingchen raised his head to drink the tea, frowned and walked out of the room. Gong Lianshan was confused. He was not very concerned about his siblings' injuries just now, so why didn't he say a word and was still in a bad mood?
Gong Jingchen sat on the carriage returning home, thinking about how many times he had been rejected.

Yizhan 11 years ago
It rained heavily in summer, and heavy raindrops hit the window. Gong Jingchen got up and opened the window. A strong wind blew into the house, and the heat in the room dissipated a lot.

He held the window open and saw the team in the courtyard, which should be Mr. Jiang's men.

He left the room, hesitated again and again, and decided to warn Mr. Jiang and keep his noisy daughter in good hands.

He went up to the third floor and just as he was about to knock on the door, he heard a quarrel inside.

"Jiang Wanhe, you want me to tell you more clearly, no matter how much you like me, you and the second master have no chance now!"

"His brother wants you by name, and mentioned in front of the Gong family that he likes you. After you get married, I can only marry you to the uncle!"

Then there was Jiang Wanhe's angry scream, slapping the porcelain on the table, and the clang of the teapot hitting the ground.

"No, I don't like him. Marrying him would be worse than marrying a pig!"

"Dad, just swallow his words and treat him as if he has gone crazy. I, I will go find him now and make it clear!"

Gong Jingchen didn't want to say it clearly. He felt strange in his heart. This was the panic he had never felt before.

He took a few steps back, then ran downstairs, went to the stable to find his horse, and planned to leave first.

But he led the horse out of the front yard of the inn, and Jiang Wanhe was already standing at the door waiting for him.

Her face was red, her eyes were red, and her nose was red, like a bullied little rabbit.

"Master Jing, where are you going? Are you rushing back to propose marriage to me?"

Jiang Wanhe ignored the glances from left and right, took the reins and threw it to Nan Feng who was standing by the door.

Pulling Gong Jingchen's sleeve, he led him deep into the woods opposite the inn.

When no one was following them, and only static flowers, plants and leaves were left around them, Jiang Wanhe got straight to the point.

"Master Jing, I'm very grateful for your help. From now on, we will only be cousins ​​and benefactors. Please take back those words, Master Jing!"

As the elder brother, Gong Jingchen likes to be exclusive, treats others arrogantly, but has a sensitive personality.

At this moment, he was threatened and he didn't dare to say anything.

Taking advantage of his height, he went over and held Jiang Wanhe's thin wrist, "Which sentence should you take back?"

"Say that I like you, that I want to marry you, that I will make you the happiest girl in the world?"

Jiang Wanhe wanted to withdraw his hand, but underestimated the other's strength and cried out in pain, ".I don't like you. It's useless for you to force yourself on me!"

"Why?"

"What?" Jiang Wanhe was confused.

"Why do you think I like you, so you dare to boss me around?"

"I said in front of your father, in front of my parents, in front of the current prince that I love you, and then you go to marry my brother. Do you think I will agree?"

"Jiang Wanhe, I can't take back that sentence!" Gong Jingchen said this sentence coolly with sharp eyes.

Jiang Wanhe was shaking all over. He was frightened by Gong Jingchen's threat and did not dare to look directly into his dark eyes.

"What if I kissed Gong He'an? On the day we parted ways at Sunset Tea Mountain, I opened my heart to him, and he liked me too."

"How about a kiss? If you make me unhappy, even if you sleep with her, I will snatch you away!" (End of Chapter)
