Quick Wear: The male protagonists all fell in love with her at first sight
Chapter 153: The Cold and Noble Prince (7)
Ji Huaian picked up a piece of cake. It tasted even better than last time. It was soft but not sticky. The layer of osmanthus powder sprinkled on the outside gave it a more refreshing fragrance. Before he knew it, Ji Huaian had already eaten several pieces of cake.
Her cooking skills are so exquisite, if she is willing, I will definitely bring her back to the capital, Ji Huaian thought so, without noticing that Fuyun next to him was about to cry.
Jiang Rou was helping in the kitchen as usual, when suddenly someone ran in. Jiang Rou looked up and saw Xiaolan, who usually gave out porridge in the front yard. She was holding her stomach and had a painful expression on her face.
Seeing Jiang Rou immediately stepped forward and said in an anxious tone, "Arou, go to the front yard and support me for a while", Jiang Rou frowned slightly, took a few steps forward, held Xiaolan's arm, and asked worriedly, "Alan, what's wrong with you?"
Alan felt the rumbling in his stomach and said in a painful tone, "I may have eaten something unclean. Now my stomach hurts. I need someone to go to the front yard. Arou, please go and help me out." After saying that, he ran towards the toilet as if he could not bear it any longer.
Jiang Rou looked at her back, concealed the worried look on her face, untied the apron around her waist, and walked towards the front yard.
Jiang Rou walked all the way to the front yard and saw the crowded scene from a distance. She hurried forward and started to get busy. The old lady next to her saw her and asked, "Where's Alan? Why did you come here?"
When Jiang Rou heard her ask, she explained in a calm voice, "Alan has a stomach upset, I'll take her place for a while." The old lady nodded when she heard her say that, indicating that she understood. She looked at Jiang Rou's thin arms and legs and said with some concern, "If you feel tired, tell me, don't force yourself."
Hearing her words, Jiang Rou turned around, smiled at her and responded softly. Serving meals is indeed a physical job, and Jiang Rou was sweating after a while because she was not very strong.
Seeing her like this, the old lady advised her, "Go and have a rest, Alan will be back soon, she is very strong." Jiang Rou gently wiped the sweat off her face and said to the old lady, "It's okay, I think Alan will be well soon."
The old lady watched as the number of people in Jiang Rou's row increased, and took the time to look to the side. In order to make it easier to work, Jiang Rou wore a dark-colored dress. Her fair skin and the dark-colored dress formed a strong contrast, and her exposed fair wrists were eye-catching. Her face was not made up, and she looked as pure as a lotus flower in clear water. She also wrapped a piece of cloth of the same color as her dress on her head to make it easier to work, but it did not detract from her beauty at all.
She seemed to be born to love laughing, with a smile on her face. After making the porridge, she would always say "be careful of the heat" considerately.
While making porridge, the old lady secretly said, "What a pity! How could such a good girl be an orphan?"
By the time she had served porridge to the last person, Jiang Rou's hands were shaking so much that she couldn't lift them. The old lady next to her pulled her wrist and rubbed it, "You are such a stubborn child. You don't take a rest when you are tired. You will cry tomorrow." Although her words were harsh, her hands did not stop moving.
Jiang Rou put her other hand around Grandma Sun's hand and said softly, "Grandma, I'm fine. If I take a rest, the people behind me will still be waiting."
"Okay, I know grandma loves me, it's ok that I'll rest instead of anyone else. I'll make something delicious for you tomorrow," Jiang Rou said coquettishly while hugging Grandma Sun. No one could resist her move, including Grandma Sun, who laughed and scolded her for being "chatty".
Just as the two were chatting and laughing, Fuyun's voice was heard, "Miss Jiang". Jiang Rou looked over and saw Fuyun walking towards her.
Looking in the direction of the floating clouds, she saw a man in a black brocade robe standing not far away. Because he was far away, Jiang Rou could not see clearly, but she saw that the man had an upright figure, like a bamboo, with black hair tied up and a simple white jade and silver crown. Although her face could not be seen clearly, she saw that he was handsome and revealed a sense of dignity and arrogance.
As if he felt her gaze, Ji Huaian raised his eyes and looked over here. Jiang Rou didn't look at him for long. She just glanced at him twice out of curiosity and then looked away.
Fuyun also came to Jiang Rou at this time and asked, "Miss Jiang, why are you helping in the front yard today?" Jiang Rou smiled and said, "Alan is not feeling well, so I'll take care of her for a while. Have you had your meal, Brother Fuyun?" Jiang Rou smiled and answered gently.
Ji Huaian looked at Jiang Rou who was not far away. The woman was small in stature and although she was wearing rough clothes, her beauty could not be concealed. He didn't know what Fuyun said, but she bowed slightly towards him. Ji Huaian was stunned for a moment and then nodded.
Due to his busy schedule, Ji Huaian seldom comes in person often, so he was a little surprised to see Jiang Rou cooking. It's not that Ji Huaian looks down on people, but because Fuyun's description of Jiang Rou as weak as a kitten is so deeply rooted in people's minds, so he specially allowed Fuyun to go and ask.
Due to his busy schedule, Fuyun did not stay long. He exchanged a few words with Jiang Rou and left in a hurry. Jiang Rou watched the group of people leave and then returned to the backyard with Grandma Sun.
Fang Yuan's injury was neither serious nor inconsolable. He could get out of bed after lying in bed for a month, and the first thing he would do after being able to move around was to go out for some fresh air.
As soon as he left the house, he went straight to Wang Po's residence. When he got there, he found that the person was gone. After asking people around, he found out that the person had run away. Fang Yuan felt even more upset, and he became even angrier when he thought of Jiang Rou's beautiful little face.
As soon as he arrived on the street, he saw Ji Huaian and his group. For some reason, Fang Yuan followed Ji Huaian and followed him all the way to the soup kitchen. He stared at Ji Huaian for a long time but felt bored when he didn't find any evidence against him.
Who knew that just when he was about to leave, he saw a familiar face out of the corner of his eye, Jiang Rou, whom he had been thinking about just now. Hiding in the dark, secretly looking at Jiang Rou, he felt that Jiang Rou was even more beautiful, with a thin waist that could be grasped with one hand, a face that was so tender that water could be pinched out of it, and a pair of big eyes that seemed to be able to speak, which made him feel itchy in his heart, and Fang Yuan's blocked heart was instantly relieved.
Because Ji Huaian was there, he didn't dare to act rashly. He wanted to wait until Ji Huaian left before going there, but who knew that the other party didn't leave until the porridge was finished.
Even Fu Yun, who was beside the other person, was chatting and laughing with Jiang Rou as if they were familiar with each other. This discovery not only did not scare Fang Yuan, but made him excited instead.
He felt that Ji Huaian must also have taken a fancy to Jiang Rou. If he could get her before him, wouldn't he be able to defeat Ji Huaian and get the beauty?
Fang Yuan sent people to follow Jiang Rou for several days but they didn't see her alone. Until this morning, they saw Jiang Rou leaving the yard alone with a basket. Several people followed her stealthily and knocked Jiang Rou unconscious when no one was around.
They were so focused on the joy of completing the task that they didn't notice the smile on Jiang Rou's lips before she fainted.
When Jiang Rou woke up again, she found herself locked in a dark room, her hands and feet were tied, and her mouth was blocked.
Jiang Rou did not struggle in vain, but just sat up against the wall. She not only knew about what happened today, but also planned it.
A few days ago, she went out with the old lady from the kitchen and found someone following them. Considering the figure of Fang Yuan she saw near the soup kitchen a few days ago, Jiang Rou immediately guessed who it was.
Just when Jiang Rou was hesitating about what to do, she suddenly heard the "good news" brought to her by Fuyun. Fuyun said that the disaster had been brought under control, and the Imperial Observatory also predicted that it would rain soon, and said that they would probably leave soon.
It was these words that made Jiang Rou decide to take a risk, which led to the scene today. She didn't have much time left, and if she wanted to live a good life, she had to seize this opportunity.
At this time, it was already dark outside and the house was pitch black. She didn't dare to pin her hopes on others. Her hands and feet were tied so she couldn't move freely.
At this moment, the door was pushed open, and a maid who looked young came in with a lantern. She lit up the lights in the room one by one.
Jiang Rou watched the maid bring out the food, and when she saw that Jiang Rou was tied up, she bravely stepped forward.
Jiang Rou heard the maid say, "I'll help you untie the rope when you eat, but don't even think about running away, there are people watching us outside." The last sentence sounded like a threat, but because of her young age, it sounded like a child throwing a tantrum.
Jiang Rou nodded obediently, and the maidservant kept her promise. She took the cotton cloth out of Jiang Rou's mouth and wanted to help Jiang Rou untie the rope, but the rope was too tight and she didn't have enough strength to untie it.
Jiang Rou smiled at her and whispered, "It's okay, but I'll trouble you to feed it to me." Jiang Rou's voice was a little hoarse because she hadn't spoken for a long time, but she still slowed down her voice in order to comfort the little maid.
Hearing Jiang Rou say this, the little maid stopped struggling with the rope and obediently picked up the food to feed Jiang Rou. Her movements were a little clumsy and she spilled food on Jiang Rou several times. Every time, Jiang Rou smiled gently and said it was okay and asked her to eat slower.
For some reason the little maid suddenly started crying. Jiang Rou swallowed the food in her mouth and said in a caring voice, "Why are you crying? I don't blame you."
The little maid shook her head, wiped the tears from her face, looked at Jiang Rou with red eyes, and said with sobs, "I miss my sister. She would be so gentle to me, but my sister is gone, and they all bully me."
