Seeing her third son back, Mrs. Qi breathed a sigh of relief. She slapped her son twice angrily.

"You brat, yesterday I asked you to rush back regardless of whether you could buy food or not. Why didn't you obey?"

"Mom, let's not talk about this for now. We have guests here. These two are Mr. Jiang and Miss Yan."

Mrs. Qi's eyes turned to Jiang Ci and Yan Shu.

Qi Tianyi introduced with a smile: "Now the nearby villagers have gone to the town to grab food. Today, thanks to Miss Yan's help, my son was able to buy food smoothly. They were worried that it would be unsafe for their son to walk alone at night, so they sent his son back in person. .""

Mrs. Qi stepped forward with a grateful face and thanked her.

"Thank you both for helping me. It's getting late. Why don't you two stay at home for one night and go back tomorrow."

Yan Shu jumped off the carriage and smiled politely at Mrs. Qi: "No need to trouble Auntie, we will live in the village next door and we will be home in a while."

Mrs. Qi took a closer look at Yan Shu in the moonlight. Although she couldn't see clearly, she could vaguely tell that she was a girl with beautiful features.

She said with a smile: "Well, I will definitely come to my house to play when I have time in the future."

Yan Shu obediently agreed.

Then Qi Tianyi called his eldest brother and second brother to carry his own grain in together.

When Jiang Ci and Yan Shu were about to leave, Qi Tianyi hurried out.

He stuffed a basket of vegetables into Yan Shu's arms.

"There isn't much good stuff at home, but these vegetables are growing pretty well. Don't dislike them, Miss Yan."

Yan Shu looked down and saw a basket full of eggplants, beans, and cucumbers.

"Brother Qi is so polite, thank you."

Seeing Yan Shu accept it, Qi Tianyi grinned.

"The road is not easy, so be careful."

"Okay, let's go back."

Without saying a word or even looking at Qi Tianyi, Jiang Ci whipped his whip and drove the ox cart towards the village entrance quickly.

Qi Tianyi didn't turn back home until he couldn't see them anymore.

The moonlight is in the sky, the bankers on both sides of the road glow with a faint silver light, and the distant mountains are like a shy girl, half hidden and half exposed, as if wrapped in a hazy veil.

"Sister-in-law seems to take good care of brother Qi."

Yan Shu looked at Jiang Ci in surprise.

"Why does uncle think so?"

Jiang Ci glanced at her expressionlessly.

"I used to think that my sister-in-law was not a warm-hearted person, but this time she helped Qi Tianyi buy food and even sent him home in person. Those who didn't know better thought that this person was very important to my sister-in-law."

Yan Shu laughed twice.

Jiang Ci is too thoughtful, and it is really difficult to hide anything from his eyes.

She, Qi Tianyi, is indeed special, but she can't tell Jiang Ci directly that this person is the second male lead in this book and your biggest enemy in the future, right?

"I think Brother Qi is a good person. He has many friends and many paths. Maybe he will need someone in the future."

Jiang Ci raised the corners of his lips and said quietly: "Oh? How did you know that this person is good?"

Yan Shu:......

"Intuition. I think Qi Tianyi will be very successful in the future. If my uncle became friends with him when he was still young, he might really be of great help to you in the future."

Boss, I’ve said all this, I hope you can understand.

Jiang Ci pursed his lips and remained silent, an unknown fire surging in his heart.

What the hell is he mad about?

-

After returning from buying food, Yan Shu discovered that her relationship with Jiang Ci was about to reach a freezing point again!

The relationship between the two has obviously eased a lot, so why did the guy fall out as soon as he said they were going to fall out?

This evening

Yan Shu was busy with dinner in the kitchen. She had made noodles early in the morning and was going to make meat buns with the pumpkin given by Aunt Cao.

Jiang Ci went out early in the morning and has not come back yet.

In the past few days, he has been leaving early and coming back late. He seems to have a lot of things to do.

Occasionally she would come forward to say a few words of concern, and he would deal with her coldly, as if he had excluded her from his world in an instant.

This made Yan Shu feel quite discouraged.

After upgrading to fight monsters, I obviously left the Novice Village, and I was about to start a new journey to kill everyone. But once I returned to the pre-liberation period, it was strange that I felt better.

"Sister-in-law."

Someone suddenly spoke behind him, and Yan Shu was so frightened that he dropped the rolling pin in his hand.

She suddenly turned around and saw Jiang Ci standing at the door, staring at her leisurely.

"Sorry, I scared my sister-in-law."

Yan Shu forced out a smile: "Uncle is back, go wash your hands and eat right away."

Jiang Ci nodded, turned around and walked towards the backyard.

Yan Shu stared at his back for a while.

Why did this guy take the initiative to talk to her tonight?

After the meat buns and millet porridge were served, Jiang Ci glanced at Yan Shu after sitting down.

"I will go back to the academy tomorrow. If my sister-in-law feels lonely at home alone, I can take you back to your parents' home."

Yan Shu couldn't guess for a moment the intention of Jiang Ci's words: to let her go back to her parents' home, or to drive her away?

"Uncle, do you want to drive me away?"

Jiang Ci looked at her quietly and was silent for a long time.

"You and your eldest brother are not actually married. You will eventually get married. It's better to plan for yourself earlier while you are still young."

"Who said I still want to get married?" Yan Shu retorted subconsciously.

Jiang Ci's eyes paused slightly, staring straight at her.

"Sister-in-law, don't you want to leave this home?"

Yan Shu took a deep breath and cursed in his heart, that was the original owner, I will not bear the blame.

"That was before. Now I have figured it out. There is nothing wrong with being a widow. You don't have to worry about marrying someone who is not a human being, let alone suffer the pain of giving birth to a child. If my uncle gets married and starts a business in the future, I will treat your children as my own. Wait. When I get old, I will choose a good place close to mountains and rivers to spend my old age, and I think Xinghua Village is good."

Jiang Ci's hands on his knees slowly tightened, his eyes knowing the unpredictability.

"Sister-in-law, you really don't regret it?"

Yan Shu nodded firmly: "I don't regret it."

In her previous life, she was an unmarried person. In the modern environment where men and women are relatively equal, she didn't want to find a man. Now that she came to this ancient world with three wives and four concubines, did she want to cause trouble for herself by getting married?

Jiang Ci's pursed lips slightly raised in pleasure.

"I will take good care of you."

Yan Shu narrowed his eyes and smiled. Is this a hug with his thigh?

"Brother-in-law, don't forget it. If one day you become famous, remember your sister-in-law."

Jiang Ci smiled.

"Let's eat."

Since she definitely doesn't want to get married, it means that Qi Tianyi doesn't have that kind of intention.

The one who is near the water and the tower first gets the moon, and he has plenty of time.

next day

Yan Shu got up early in the morning, washed up in the space, and went straight to the kitchen to start making breakfast.

I heated up some meat buns last night and cooked two bowls of pimple soup on the small stove.

At this time, he heard Jiang Ci's door ringing. After a while, he washed up and came over to help bring breakfast into the main room.

The two sat down to eat, and Yan Shu asked, "Has your luggage been packed?"

"I've packed it up, and there's nothing to take with me. I won't be back for half a month. If anything happens at home, my sister-in-law will go next door to ask Aunt Cao for help."

"Okay, I'll take it down."

After Yan Shu finished eating, he went back to his room and took out a package.

"Uncle, this is for you, see if you like it."

After that day, Jiang Ci suddenly became alienated from her, and she never had the chance to give the newly bought clothes to him.
