After binding the system, I saved the general's mansion

After saying that, he said "sorry to bother you" in a very sincere manner.

Jiang Sheng said with a smile

"You all have good intentions, and my family is naturally aware of this. However, my brother had a childhood sweetheart, and because of family changes, he didn't want to burden her, so he lost his love.

My brother is very sad, and I am afraid he has no intention of getting married in recent years."

The matchmaker also said with great pity

"This is enough to show that Mr. Liu has noble character and is a loyal person."

After saying that, he said goodbye and left.

After they were all gone, my grandfather and uncle came in from outside.

My uncle breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's gone."

Sun Hongyue said distressedly

"Sheng'er gave each of them a bunch of cabbage. Otherwise, how could they be sent away so easily? They are the kind of people who won't release the eagle until they see the rabbit."

Jiang Sheng smiled

"Spreading this message this time will at least keep you quiet for a while."

After saying that, she looked behind her.

"Where's my brother? Why isn't he here?"

Sun Hongyue whispered

"Hasn't the outer city been open for business since the first day of the new year? Yesterday, your brother went out and lost a small jade pendant he was carrying. He was out looking for it for half a night and caught a cold. Today he has a fever."

Small jade pendant?

Brother, I do have a small jade pendant, but it doesn't look like something particularly valuable. Why is it worth you spending half the night looking for it?

Could it be?

"Could it be that the jade pendant is Angelica dahurica..."

Sun Hongyue sighed and nodded.

Jiang Sheng didn't know what to say.

The brother self-righteously chose the way that he thought was best for Baizhi. No matter how determined Baizhi was to choose him and how she ran thousands of miles to seek peace, he never softened his heart.

She once thought that her brother was too cruel, but now it seems that her brother is also suffering a lot because he cannot tell others about it.

Just because he doesn't say it doesn't mean he doesn't care.

The more I care about her, the more I can't bear to let her fall into the same quagmire as myself.

Jiang Sheng even thought that if she were in the same situation, she would probably make the same choice.

Alas...love is the most torturous thing, no matter what you do, it seems wrong...

You can only swallow your anger and accept it.

Liu Huaishan was silent for a while and said

"Don't worry, I've checked his pulse and prescribed some medicine. Panax notoginseng is in good condition, so he'll be well in a few days."

Jiang Sheng nodded

"Okay, I'll go see him then."

When Jiang Sheng pushed open Liu Sanqi's door, Liu Sanqi was leaning on the bed, stroking the inconspicuous jade pendant in his hand.

Seeing him come in, Liu Sanqi hurriedly put the things under the pillow. Jiang Sheng smiled and said jokingly

"Don't hide it, I've seen it all."

Liu Sanqi coughed a few times and smiled awkwardly. Jiang Sheng sat down beside the bed.

"You like me so much, and you're so reluctant to let me go, why did you reject me so harshly, without leaving yourself any leeway."

Liu Sanqi took out the jade pendant from under the pillow again, smiled bitterly and said

"There's no room between us anymore."

Jiang Sheng was about to say something when he heard Liu Sanqi mutter to himself:

"Shengsheng, I'm actually afraid too."

Jiang Sheng raised his eyes and looked at him

"What are you afraid of?"

"I was afraid that I would be soft-hearted and keep her by my side, that she would not be happy with me, that our youthful arrogance would turn into resentment many years later.

I was afraid that I would have to watch her marry someone else, and that her husband wouldn't treat her as well as I did. Sheng'er, my heart aches when I think about how I once had the right to be by her side. "

Jiang Sheng seemed to understand a little. After all, it is better to never have something than to have it and then lose it.

She sighed.

"Brother, if you don't make a decision, you will suffer the consequences."

Liu Sanqi forced a smile

"I know."

Knowing but not being able to do it.

He has to figure this out by himself; no one else can persuade him.

Seeing that he looked troubled, Jiang Sheng said

"You should have a good rest first, and I will call you to eat later."

Liu Sanqi shook his head

"No, I took too many medicines today and I don't have much appetite."

Jiang Sheng covered her with a quilt

"You'll suffer a great loss. I'm going to make a new dish today."

Liu Sanqi said carelessly

"That's such a pity."

When Jiang Sheng left, Liu Sanqi had already fallen into a deep sleep.

Sun Hongyue was standing outside and came over when she saw her come out.

"Sheng'er...How is Sanqi?"

Jiang Sheng knew that she was not asking about the condition, so she whispered

"Aunt, please give my brother some more time."

Sun Hongyue nodded worriedly.

Jiang Sheng said with a smile

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Relax and I believe that my brother will handle it."

The two of them walked towards the kitchen while talking. Jiang Sheng helped Sun Hongyue prepare lunch. Liu Sanqi felt much better after a nap and even got up at noon to have lunch with them.

While eating, Liu Huaishan also mentioned that he wanted to open the store on the third day of the Chinese New Year.

Jiang Sheng was a little surprised

"Opening on the third day of the Chinese New Year, isn't that too early? You haven't had many days off."

Liu Huaishan said with a smile

"It's all right. Someone found our home on the first day of the Lunar New Year. The sooner we open the door, the sooner we can feel at ease."

"Then you have to take care of your health. The New Year isn't over yet, so before the 15th, you can go later and come back earlier."

Liu Huaishan picked up a dish for him

"We'll take care of it ourselves. You worry so much, girl. Be careful that you get wrinkles quickly."

Jiang Sheng pouts like a spoiled child

"I'm only seventeen after the Chinese New Year. I'm still young."

Liu Heng agreed with a smile

"Yes, our Sheng'er is still young."

When they left their grandparents' house, Yingyue and Yuzhu insisted on taking Xufeng to visit the outer city's market. Jiang Sheng was a little worried and told them:

"Xufeng, don't come back late at this time."

"I understand, Master."

The people in the outer city were a mixed bunch, and Jiang Sheng was worried, so he left Yingqiu to them.

In the end, only she and Nanzhu went back first.

When I got home, He Ruolan had already returned.

To Jiang Sheng’s surprise, the little kid also came along.

Little Yuanbao saw Jiang Sheng from afar and walked towards her with his short legs.

"Auntie!"

Jiang Sheng picked him up

"Xiao Yuanbao, why are you here?"

Xiao Yuanbao rested his head on her shoulder

"I miss my aunt."

He Ruolan said helplessly

"I went back to see him today. He knew that I lived with you, so he insisted on going with him. My uncle happened to be out for something and was not at home, so no one could cure him.

My mother had no choice but to let me bring him here.”

Jiang Sheng smiled

"It's okay, Yuanbao is very well behaved."

He Ruolan thought to herself, then you haven’t seen him making trouble at home.

It was late at night, and Yuanbao felt sleepy after playing with her for a while, so his wet nurse carried him to sleep.

He Ruolan coaxed the child to sleep and then came over to talk to her.

"This child is a bit noisy on weekdays, but he is also a pitiful one."
