Dressed as the villain's stepmother

Zhenbei Hou and Yang Fei were very worried about Jiang Lianzhu.

There is no greater sorrow than heartbreak. Jiang Lianzhu's performance just now was too calm. It might be better if she could cry heartily in front of others.

"During this period, I will send people to guard outside Lihuayuan. If you have any needs in the courtyard, you can go to Zhenbei Hou to ask me for help as soon as possible."

"The Marquis is busy with official duties and it is not appropriate to interfere in this matter openly. Doctor Liu, you can also go to Liumen to find me!"

Yang Fei put the sign indicating the six entrances and exits on his body into Liu Qingqing's hand.

"The leader is from our Sixth Sect. Now something happened to him. As a member of the Sixth Sect, I came to help Madam. It's just a matter of course. On the surface, I won't let anyone talk about it."

Liao Yunchuan has encountered an accident, and Prince Xiang's family is still in prison.

The only force they can rely on is the Zhenbei Hou Mansion. Therefore, at this moment, nothing can happen to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion no matter what.

"On behalf of the shopkeeper, I would like to thank you two adults for taking care of her."

Liu Qingqing accepted Yang Fei's entry and exit token and sent the person out of the house on Jiang Lianzhu's behalf.

When she returned to the house again, she found that Jiang Lianzhu had already gotten up from the bed, but yesterday's fire had caused severe injuries to her body. Even if she only took two steps, she was still shaking in pain.

"The shopkeeper!"

Liu Qingqing quickly placed Yang Fei's token on the bedside and stepped forward to support Jiang Lianzhu.

"You have wounds all over your body. If you don't lie down in bed properly, if you continue like this, are you really going to watch your wounds burst?"

Liu Qingqing has a sharp mouth but a soft heart.

He couldn't help nagging, but Jiang Lianzhu was not careless at all while supporting Jiang Lianzhu.

After she saw Jiang Lianzhu standing firm, she immediately brought a soft cushion and placed it on the chair. When Jiang Lianzhu sat down, her hand touched Jiang Lianzhu's pulse again.

Because of worry, she wanted to confirm Jiang Lianzhu's physical condition again.

"There's no need to check your pulse anymore. I know my own body well. Liu Qingqing, you go down and do your business. I want to be alone for a while."

Jiang Lianzhu pushed away Liu Qingqing's hand that stretched out to diagnose her pulse and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"..."

Liu Qingqing did not leave immediately.

Because she is worried too.

"I just want to be alone for a while. You can help me take care of the children. Don't worry, I won't be overwhelmed."

Jiang Lianzhu said this, and Liu Qingqing had no choice but to leave.

Jiang Lianzhu was the only one left in the house.

She listened to Liu Qingqing's footsteps closing the door and leaving and fell directly into the chair.

Then, she reached out from under the pillow beside the bed and took out a carved wooden lacquer box. There was nothing in the one-foot-square box, only a letter.

This box and the letter were given to her personally by Liao Yunchuan when she left the capital.

"I will try my best to handle this matter as soon as possible and try my best to come back and celebrate the New Year together."

This was the promise Liao Yunchuan made to her before leaving.

Jiang Lianzhu can still remember Liao Yunchuan's dark pupils flashing slightly, with jumping flames reflected in them.

She knew the deep meaning in Liao Yunchuan's eyes.

Always understood.

It is precisely because of understanding that when Jiang Lianzhu thinks about it now, her whole heart aches. Just now when outsiders were present, she seemed like a wandering soul from another world, dealing with everything in front of her in a daze. Now she is alone, carefully Thinking about all the things in the past, my heart couldn't help but ache.

It hurts so much.

The pain was so painful that Jiang Lianzhu reached out and clenched her heart, but it still couldn't be relieved by half. Since she couldn't stop it, let it hurt without any scruples.

Anyway, I have never seen anyone in this world who is so heartbroken that they die...

Jiang Lianzhu didn't care about the trauma left on her body in the sea of ​​​​fire, nor the trouble and pain in her heart. She opened the letter in the wooden box as she was concerned.

It was a marriage contract.

"Jiang Lianzhu, do you feel sorry for me?"

My mind couldn't help but think of that day, Liao Yunchuan's bright eyebrows and eyes were so beautiful because of her words of concern.

"It turns out that you asked me and the children to wait for you to come back to celebrate the New Year, not just to celebrate the New Year..."

Jiang Lianzhu squeezed the marriage contract in her hand, her eyes blurred with tears.

She understood why Liao Yunchuan specially gave her these when he left. There were two marriage contracts lying inside, one was their previous marriage contract, and the other was the new marriage contract.

A marriage contract is a testimony that a man and a woman are united forever.

Liao Yunchuan gave all these things to her, allowing her, Jiang Lianzhu, to make a choice about their future relationship.

Liao Yunchuan handed the decision-making power into her hands.

Jiang Lianzhu clutched the marriage contract in her hand tightly. She raised her eyes and saw the remains of the jade pendants that Yang Fei had brought for her on the bedside. She carefully put them all in the square-inch wooden box.

This is what Liao Yunchuan left for her.

The little thing that remains.

Everything that was left about Liao Yunchuan disappeared with yesterday's fire and turned into nothing.

Jiang Lianzhu recalled in her mind Liao Yunchuan's overly bright and flying look when he left that day, and burst into tears, and finally couldn't help but burst into tears.

outside the house.

Liu Qingqing did not go far.

Jiang Lianzhu burst into tears, which made Liu Qingqing feel heartbroken.

Liu Qingqing couldn't bear it and paced around trying to enter the house.

But when she got to the door, she remembered Jiang Lianzhu's usual personality of never showing weakness, and she stopped at the door.

expedient.

Like Jiang Lianzhu, she probably didn't want anyone prying into her wounds.

Do unto others, do not impose on others.

Liu Qingqing stood outside the door in silence, listening to the heart-rending cries that went from out of control to almost inaudible.

During this period, she also drove away Koizumi Madoka and other servants in Lihua Garden who were worried about Madam's condition.

The grief in the room gradually subsided, and she gave Jiang Lianzhu enough time to sort out her emotions. After she calmed down completely, Liu Qingqing pretended not to know anything and opened the door.

"I've checked for you, shopkeeper, the children have gone to bed. Your two maids are taking care of them, so don't worry."

Liu Qingqing spoke in a relaxed tone and placed the meat porridge brought from the kitchen in front of Jiang Lianzhu.

Then, he sat down opposite Jiang Lianzhu, minding his own business. After handing Jiang Lianzhu a spoon, he immersed himself in eating the bowl of meat porridge in front of him.

On the way, he saw Jiang Lianzhu not moving the spoon and gave him some advice.

"I rummaged through the meat porridge from the small kitchen. You can enjoy it and take a few bites to suppress the medicinal taste in your mouth."

Jiang Lianzhu leaned over and took two mouthfuls of porridge.

"By the way, I want to sleep with you tonight. After walking around for a while, I found that your bed is the softest and most comfortable in this Lihua Garden!"

Eat your own porridge, and those with a tough attitude will stay overnight.

This is Liu Qingqing's style.

Although it looked rude, Jiang Lianzhu understood Liu Qingqing's intentions, so after eating a few mouthfuls of porridge, they lay down, but Jiang Lianzhu didn't even sleep for an hour that night.
