Lu Tao's questioning made Jiang Ya's expression stiffen, and the surrounding area became quiet, and many people's eyes began to look intriguing.
Why she didn't tell her at that time was simply because she wasn't sure whether the Spring Equinox needed her "kindness" or not. Pregnancy was an extremely private matter for most people, so she might not be allowed to intervene in the Spring Equinox.
, even if she was really allowed to intervene, she would never be allowed to discuss it in public. She would cut it off first and then tell it later, and she also wanted to create the illusion that she would be able to conceive a child in the future. This idea is really annoying.
.
Shi Chunfen just felt a little embarrassed at first. After listening to Lu Tao's question, she realized how serious Jiang Ya was, and her expression became colder. "I appreciate Miss Jiang's kindness, but please inform me in advance about this kind of thing next time."
Just give me a shout to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."
Jiang Ya's face turned pale, as if she didn't expect Shichun Equinox to be so direct, but it seemed to be expected. It must be not easy for a child bride to sit in this position. She lowered her eyes and said lightly: "I know.
Here we go, young mistress."
This matter was revealed, and Kong Youlian and others quickly changed the topic, "Hey, why didn't you see Jixue? She was still here just now?"
"It seems she has gone over there, let's go find her!"
While everyone was talking, they walked in the direction of Wang Jixue, and Shi Chunquin had no choice but to follow them with Lv Tao.
"I was lucky to have you just now, otherwise I really don't know what I would have done." Shi Chunquin expressed his gratitude to Lu Tao.
Lu Tao smiled and said, "Grandma is serious. This is what slaves should do. We are servants. If we can't even protect our master, what's the use?"
He does not mean that.
Shi Chunfen thought of Li Yan and Yu Atu who were following her before, and her eyes dimmed. It turned out that everything had been planned for a long time. Every time she was given trouble by outsiders, these two people always remained silent. She thought they were following her.
She, too, doesn't know how to react, or perhaps there is a distinction between superiority and inferiority, and they don't dare to overstep it. But now it seems that if they had the intention to protect her, how could they just watch her being made things difficult for them and remain indifferent?
Yu Atu is like this because she never thought of being just a maid;
As for Li Yan, I'm afraid it's because he never thought of treating her as his master.
Shi Chunquin sighed. It seemed that she really had to tidy up her yard after going back.
A group of people came to the bonfire dinner venue and quickly found Wang Jixue, who had already taken her seat in advance. She was so responsible today that many people suspected that she had suddenly changed her temper.
"What's wrong with you today? Are you always walking alone?" Kong Youlian is the host of this dinner, so naturally she has to take the lead in caring for her guests.
Wang Jixue looked at them and forced a smile, "It's nothing. I'm a little tired from coming all the way here, so I'll sit here and rest for a while."
This is not a lie. The military camp is quite far away from the county seat, and the Qingqi camp is located on the top of the mountain. Even though they came here in a carriage, they suffered a lot during the bumpy journey.
Jiang Ya took the opportunity to stand up, planning to avenge her shame, "Would you like me to take your pulse?"
Wang Jixue shook her head, "No, I'll be fine after I rest for a while."
"Oh." Jiang Ya was a little disappointed. She thought she could take the opportunity to show off her medical skills and change other people's impressions of her. Unexpectedly, Wang Jixue didn't appreciate it.
Kong Youlian secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. That day, the three of them went to the county lord's mansion for a dinner together. Each of them knew the county lord's purpose well. If anyone could win Chu Ling's favor, the county lord would be the one to make the final decision.
Becoming aunts is not only an excellent opportunity for them, but if successful, it will also be of great benefit to their father's future. Therefore, although they appear to be unanimous on the outside, in fact they are secretly competing with each other in their hearts.
Chu Ling is not a stud, so it is impossible to accept all three of them at the same time. Whoever can stand out will be most likely to marry into the Chu family.
At present, it is obvious that she has the best chance of winning.
Kong Youlian felt proud in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, "It will be a while before the dinner starts. Why don't I arrange a tent for you to rest first, and when the county lord and others arrive, it won't be too late for you to come out."
Her words seemed faultless, but in fact they greatly reduced the chance of Wang Jixue and Chu Ling meeting each other.
In the past, Wang Jixue would have rolled his eyes and rejected her "good intentions", but this time, she had no time to hide from Chu Ling, so naturally she happily accepted the suggestion, "Okay."
Kong Youlian called the soldiers over and sent Wang Jixue to a nearby camp. When she passed the vernal equinox, she paused slightly and gave her a blessing, "Grandma."
Shi Chunfen nodded gently and said with concern: "Go and have a rest."
Wang Jixue nodded and quickly left the scene.
As soon as she left, the others dispersed. Some went to visit the military camp, some went to sit down and rest, and some gathered together in twos and threes to chat, but no one dared to mess with the Spring Equinox.
People are like this, bullying good and fearing evil. In the past, when Chun Equinox was submissive, everyone rushed to bully her, but now she just said a few words to Jiang Ya in public, and those people were afraid and did not dare to provoke her.
She did.
Shi Chun Equinox was also happy to have some leisure time. He found a seat and sat down quietly, waiting for the dinner to begin.
When Chu Ling hurried over after meeting the military generals, he saw this scene. The dinner party was bustling with people, drinking and drinking. Everyone gathered together in excitement, looking forward to the arrival of the dinner, except for Shichunfen.
She sat quietly in the corner, carefully savoring the tea on the table, as if all the disturbances had nothing to do with her.
Chu Ling paused and shook his head in a funny way. This was a military camp, not the Chu family. What was he worried about? Was he afraid that someone would eat him at the Spring Equinox?
Chu Xiu followed him, and when he saw his eyes looking at the Spring Equinox, he couldn't help but squinted his eyes, "I didn't expect that brother is very nervous, sister-in-law?"
These words were full of inquiry. Chu Ling turned around and looked at him, "I didn't expect that your temperament would change so much this time when you returned to Huating?"
Chu Xiu's expression froze, and he avoided his gaze unnaturally, "Has it changed? Why don't I feel it?"
Chu Ling stared at him, his cold face turned extremely serious, "You didn't go home for the New Year last year, what happened?"
Chu Xiu met his eyes with a calm look, "The mountain road collapsed and I was blocked from going back, you know."
There were indeed many witnesses to this incident at the time, and Chu Ling did not find anything wrong after the investigation. However, the more this happened, the more strange Chu Xiu's changes became. The cheerful and bright young man in the past suddenly became taciturn, and became more and more taciturn.
The more it looked like him, the more Chu Ling thought about it, the more strange it felt.
