Jiang Changning pursed her lips making her already pale lips red with blood. A few strands of hair on her forehead were wet with sweat, making her look a bit fragile, but her eyes were shining brightly, and she stared straight at Qin Huaisu with a desperate determination.

“Yes.” Jiang Changning’s voice was slightly hoarse.

Qin Huaisu laughed out of anger and he couldn’t help tightening his hold on her.

Everyone in the world knows it, but only women and villains are hard to deal with. (t/n: its a proverb that means only small-minded men and women are hard to deal with, who become bitter if you keep a distance from and become familiar if you get closer to.)

Jiang Changning couldn’t ignore the heat around her waist, her breathing turned shallow slightly, and the corners of her eyes turned wet.

Qin Huaisu gritted his teeth silently and closed his eyes in defeat. With a turn, he strode into Jiang’s mansion again and walked straight in the direction of Jiang Changning’s boudoir.

Forget it, this lord was just a heartless person who only care about her.

Seeing this, Mother Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, stood up with the help of her servants, and shouted: “Go and ask for the doctor! Hong Xing, quickly lead the way for the prince!”

For Mother Jiang, her restless heart finally became relief.

Fortunately, he stopped…

“Please let this girl down.” Jiang Changning struggled to escape but Qin Huaisu just kept walking, and his tone was fierce: “Jiang Changning, if you don’t want to stay in Jiang’s house, you can try moving again.”

Qin Huaisu hugged Jiang Changning and left the rest of the servants far behind him. Hong Xing was panting slightly after chasing after him.

For a moment, he forgot to find out how the His Highness The Prince know where the first lady’s boudoir was with such familiarity and thought he probably remember the path just now.

The boudoir has been tidied up and he placed Jiang Changning on the soft couch. The rest of the servants followed behind him.

The old doctor came in with Mother Jiang. He was going to come to Jiang’s mansion today anyway to see if Mother Jiang’s illness was getting better. He never thought that he would be dragged to Jiang Changning’s yard by the young servant as soon as he entered the door.

Regardless of Qin Huaisu’s obstruction, Jiang Changning just silently moved to her bed: “Is there something wrong with mother? Please take a look at her first.”

Mother Jiang fell on her knees just now, and since then she has been a little worried about her.

Qin Huaisu frowned, walked over and grabbed Jiang Changning’s wrist, lifted her to the couch again and sat down beside her. He pursed his thin lips, and there was still anger between his brows.

Jiang Changning blushed and gave him a sneaky look.

Not going to lose, Qin Huaisu stared back.

886 who witnessed the interaction between the two…

The old doctor immediately treated the two injured people in the room. Fortunately, they were all just some skin abrasions and just needed to apply some ointment.

Mother Jiang regained her strength at this time and something finally crossed her thoughts. No matter how stupid Qin Huaisu was, he still sincerely defended Jiang Changning. It is not easy to be able to send him away now, as she should give some face to him and she can’t afford to offend him too.

Mother Jiang could not treat him coldly anymore, so she sincerely thanked Qin Huaisu: “I have troubled the lord for today’s matter, and when Changbai comes back, I will definitely let him come to pay respects. It’s just that this is a women’s boudoir after all, and a man entering a woman’s place… Excuse this old woman for being bold but I hope the lord will take his leave for a while.”

Qin Huaisu would not be bound by such common custom and when he heard this, he just glanced at Jiang Changning. Before he could retort, Mother Jiang said, “What’s more, Sister Ning also needs to rest.”

Seeing Jiang Changning’s pale face, Qin Huaisu finally took a step back: “If that’s the case, I will leave first.”

When Qin Huaisu wanted to leave, the maids guarding the door hurriedly make way for him.

Qin Huaisu’s move on Mrs. Liu was so fierce that they were scared out of their wits.

In the past few days, all the servants in Jiang’s Mansion were in big turmoil and some people even showed their contempt towards Jiang Changning. Seeing Qin Huaisu defending Jiang Changning so much now, they couldn’t help restraining their thoughts and showing more respect towards the first lady.

After sending Qin Huaisu away, Mother Jiang looked much more exhausted. She has a lot of things to ask, such as what happened today, why the usually unkind Crown Prince pays so much attention to her daughter… But in the end, she held Jiang Changning’s hand and sighed heavily, saying: “Sister Ning, before taking a good rest, let’s talk about what happened today.”

Jiang Changning’s expression changed slightly. Today, Mother Jiang’s subconscious protection and trust towards her were all clearly seen.

Her heart, which had been hardened for a long time, softened a little because of this: “It’s all this daughter’s fault today, this daughter only made mother worry.”

At the same time, Jiang Luo was imprisoned in the ancestral hall. She currently followed Mother Jiang’s order, knowing that Mother Jiang was just angry at the moment.

After all, she is the real daughter. Not to mention that Jiang Luo has been favored by everyone since she entered the mansion, so no one dares to neglect her.

She was kindly escorted into the ancestral hall and was served good food and clothing as if she came here for vacation.

There was tofu and spinach soup in the food box. Pieces of soft milk tofu were stacked and garnished with green vegetable leaves. The soup was simmered with chicken broth. It was rich but not greasy. A dish that looks simple but elegant.

But at this moment, Jiang Luo has no desire to taste it at all, she only feels bad luck when she sees tofu. (t/n: tofu is believe to bring luck because it sounds like the word for fortune and happiness in Chinese)

Could it be that this simple dish was sent here deliberately by the servants to ridicule her when they saw that she was imprisoned?! The cold and ruthless notification sound from the system just now still lingers in her ears:

[Di! The target of the attack—Mother Jiang’s favorability has dropped to 50%]

[Di! The target of the attack—Mother Jiang’s favorability has fallen below the initial line! Please work harder host! ]

Furious, Jiang Luo overturned the food box. The dishes rolled to the floor, and the soup spilled on the futon, leaving dark stains.

The food and the smell of sandalwood wafted and intertwined in the air, making her dizzy and her stomach uncontrollably sour.

Jiang Luo hated it so much that the overturned food box surface reflected her look with messy hair and hideous facial features.

The wind blew the candles softly as they swayed and swayed, and only the standing memorial tablets in the empty ancestral hall shone coldly.

Jiang Luo sat paralyzed on the clean futon on the other side, staring viciously at the memorial tablet of the old master above, and suddenly had an idea in her mind, and a sweet smile appeared on her face: “System, can you help me a little bit?”

The sun finally set and the night sky was full of scattered stars. Hongxing gently closed the flower window.

The lady was injured, so she couldn’t be exposed to the night wind.

“Hong Xing, you go out first. I’m a little tired.”

Hong Xing just came over with a tray full of dishes and jars, and when she heard this, she paused, “My lady, I’ll give you medicine first before going to sleep. You have to drink it.”

Jiang Changning was a little out of spirits after going through a messy day and only waved her hands weakly.

Knowing that the lady is stubborn, she knew that she shouldn’t ignore this but didn’t dare to bother her any longer. Hong Xing had no choice but to put the medicine on the table, hoping that the lady would drink it by herself when she feel a bit better. Hong Xing just bit her lip worriedly and backed away.

Jiang Changning was awakened by the stinging pain on her face. Probably because she was so tired, she slept very deeply this time.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a tall figure standing in front of her bed, making Jiang Changning startled.

She backed away as a reflex but didn’t realize until the back of her head accidentally hit the edge of the bed, and she couldn’t help but let out a low cry of pain.
