021's voice was very puzzled, "Rou Rou, Ji Huaian is in there, why don't you meet him? He just came out."

Jiang Rou just said "It's not time yet". Ji Huaian would definitely be happy to know that she was still alive. When he calmed down, he would ask himself why she was still alive, why didn't she go find him if she was alive, and how did she get to the capital.

What's more, her current identity is Ji Mingjin's fiancée. If she has an affair with Ji Huaian and Old Madam Ji finds out, she will think that she is ambitious and wants to be the mistress of this marquis' mansion.

Ning Xi walked beside Jiang Rou, looking at her furrowed brows, knowing that she was kind-hearted. She must be worried about Madam Ji's health. She rushed over to comfort her without even having breakfast, but ended up not even entering the door.

Feeling Ning Xi's worried gaze, Jiang Rou smiled at her and said softly, "I'm fine, Sister Ning Xi. I'm just a little worried about the old lady. We will come to see her later."

Ning Xi felt that Jiang Rou was the softest-hearted person she had ever met, as she had to comfort others even though she was clearly feeling unwell herself. She had no parents since childhood and grew up with her master, who also left her when she became an adult.

She worked part-time and studied until she graduated from university. Since she had been learning medicine from her master since she was a child, she also went to a medical school in university.

After graduation, she entered a hospital and worked diligently for several years. She saved some money and bought a house. However, she died in a medical dispute just after the house was delivered.

When she woke up, she found herself in this strange world. Fortunately, the original owner was also an orphan, so she did not reveal her true identity. When she first came to this world, she felt out of place and wanted to pick up her old job in order to survive.

However, she had never learned medicine, and no one would believe her if she acted rashly. That was why she went up the mountain to collect herbs every day and made a living by selling them.

She had no sense of belonging to this world at all. It was only after meeting Jiang Rou that she felt it was real. She had really traveled through time.

She had been living alone since she was a child, and became even more alone after her master's death. After entering university, she was often not in the dormitory in order to earn a living, and the small group in the dormitory also isolated her.

Ning Xi didn't care at all. She just wanted to fill her stomach. She didn't want to participate in interpersonal communication at all. It was a waste of time for her.

Jiang Rou is the person closest to her besides her master. Ning Xi can feel relaxed and happy when she is with her. She likes being with Jiang Rou.

Ning Xi told Jiang Rou that she followed her because she was afraid that Jiang Rou would be bullied after entering the Marquis' Mansion, but she did not tell her the main reason. She didn't know where she could go in this strange world after Jiang Rou left.

A voice brought Ning Xi back to reality. After seeing the person coming, Ning Xi's face suddenly fell. She stood beside Jiang Rou like a hen protecting her calves, not giving Ji Mingjin any chance to get close to her.

Ji Mingjin's eyes lit up when he saw Jiang Rou. He said gently, "Miss Jiang", then walked towards Jiang Rou and continued, "Are you going to see your grandmother?"

Jiang Rou took a step back to distance herself from him, bowed slightly and said softly, "Second Brother Ji". She was wearing a lilac suit, and her posture was graceful and delicate as a willow in the wind.

Ji Mingjin sighed silently in his heart and thought to himself, "What a pity! Which man would not be moved by a woman like this? It's a pity that her status is too low. She can be of no help to me. It would be nice to have her as a concubine and keep her by my side."

Thinking of this, his heart was moved slightly. Looking at Jiang Rou's white jade hands, his heart was excited thinking about the soft touch. His hands were faster than his brain. He said, "I see that Miss Jiang has become much thinner recently. Are you used to living in the mansion?" He wanted to put his hand on that jade hand.

Ning Xi, who had been on guard against him, saw this and hit his dishonest hand without any hesitation. The sound of "slap" was particularly clear in the silent corridor.

Ji Mingjin was hit so suddenly that he didn't have time to react at all, and the gentle mask on his face couldn't be maintained. Ning Xi saw this and mocked him, "Oh, please forgive me, Second Young Master. Look at my hand. I was chasing away insects for our young lady, how did I end up hitting your hand?"

Ji Mingjin looked at his swollen hand and didn't believe Ning Xi's lies at all. In order to leave a good impression in front of Jiang Rou, he suppressed his anger and said, "It's okay." Then he made an excuse and said, "Miss Jiang, my grandmother is still waiting for me. I'll go first."

As soon as his figure disappeared around the corner, Ning Xi laughed without hesitation. Seeing her so happy, Jiang Rou also smiled.

Ning Xi turned around and advised worriedly, "Don't meet him alone in the future. He has shifty eyes and you can tell he has bad intentions." Jiang Rou nodded obediently.

Ji Huaian came back, and Mrs. Ji's illness naturally recovered. She looked at Ji Huaian with tears in her eyes and kept saying "You've become darker and thinner."

Ji Huaian's eyebrows and eyes were calm. He was not disturbed by the strong emotions of Old Madam Ji. He comforted her lightly, "Don't worry, Grandma."

Ji Mingjin, who was standing by, almost bit his back teeth to pieces when he saw this scene. Although Old Madam Ji kept him by her side, she usually had a cold expression on her face when she saw him. When had this ever happened before?

The rage in his heart consumed him, and he blurted out, "Grandma cares so much about me, it's really unfilial of you to say that," his voice was filled with indignation, as if he was standing up for Madam Ji.

His words successfully silenced the scene, but Ji Huaian didn't even raise an eyebrow when he heard it, let alone say anything back.

Seeing him ignoring him like this, Ji Mingjin became even angrier. He wanted to say something but was interrupted coldly by Old Madam Ji, "Okay."

These two words successfully shut Ji Mingjin up, but his face turned red as if his neck was pinched.

Jiang Rou stayed in the yard for several days. Ji Mingjin came once, but was stopped outside the door by Ning Xi. Ji Mingjin was very puzzled as to how such a delicate person like Jiang Rou could have such a ferocious maid.

Jiang Rou had not left the yard for several days, and naturally had not paid her respects to Old Madam Ji. Now Old Madam Ji specially sent someone to see if Jiang Rou was sick, and also brought some tonics. Jiang Rou accepted the tonics and said that she would go to see Old Madam Ji today.

The weather in the capital is changeable in autumn. When Jiang Rou just went out, the sky was clear, but it started to rain not long after she came out of Madam Ji's yard.

Ning Xi protected her and led her into a corridor. The rain came suddenly, and Jiang Rou's light-colored clothes were soaked with water, which was very obvious.

If she was allowed to go back like this, she would definitely be seen by others. Ning Xi placed her in a warm room under the corridor and said, "Arou, you wait here, I will go back to get clothes." Jiang Rou nodded obediently and said softly, "Sister Ning Xi, please be careful."

Not long after Ning Xi left, Jiang Rou heard the voice of a servant, "Prince, please wait here. I'll go get an umbrella."

Then he disappeared and I heard footsteps becoming clearer and clearer, followed by the sound of a door being pushed open, and then I heard someone walking in.

Jiang Rou pulled her clothes closer and asked timidly, "Who's there?" She saw through the screen that the figure was standing still.

Seeing that he didn't move, Jiang Rou breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "It's raining heavily outside. If you want to hide from the rain, don't come in. Stand outside the screen." As if she was afraid that people would get wet, Jiang Rou spoke carefully.
