C105 (1/2)

It was too similar.

Jiang Wan's gaze slightly froze as she looked at Xiao Rui.

The look on his face just now was just too similar to the look on his face when the two of them swore an alliance in their previous life.

However, in the end, the two of them did not die a good death.

”Shh!” Jiang Wan made a booing gesture, asking Xiao Rui to whisper to her, ”The heavens are actually very angry, we can't be too flamboyant …”

”Oh ~!” Xiao Rui pretended to be suddenly enlightened and nodded, then whispered in Jiang Wan's ear, ”Then, we'll secretly be happy, so no one will know …”

After he finished speaking, he took the opportunity to kiss Jiang Wan's fair skin. A tender little neck...

The next day, Jiang Wan's second aunt, Madam Qiao, sent a greeting letter to the Jin palace, wanting to come visit Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan was worried that her second aunt had something urgent, so she said to Clove, ”I've been at home for the past two days, I can come anytime she wants.”

Lilac answered and left.

In the afternoon, Madam Qiao came to visit him alone under the sun.

When she stepped into the bamboo garden, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. This courtyard was truly worthy of being called the ”Bamboo Garden”. The two sides of the courtyard had been planted with tall bamboo, like two natural barriers that blocked out the heat.

The four towering trees in the courtyard were like many umbrellas, covering the entire courtyard in their shade. As a result, in the middle of summer, one could still feel a hint of coldness in the courtyard.

And in the small pond in the middle of the yard, the pink lotus flowers that were either in bud or in bloom stood gracefully amidst the dark green lotus leaves, emitting waves of a sweet fragrance.

Life had been so good!

Madam Qiao led a maidservant into the bamboo garden's banquet room.

Jiang Wan, who had specially changed into a new robe, quickly went to receive him, ordered someone to serve him tea, and then served him watermelon and grapes. Only then did she ask, ”Second Aunt, what is it that you can't get someone to pass on a message? ”Why do you have to come personally?”

”I was afraid of the delay in passing on the message.” Mrs Qiao sat in the banquet hall, not bothering to drink her tea, and instead directly asked, ”I wanted to ask, did you have any plans for this trip to the Western Mountain?”

Jiang Wan instantly understood.

The West Mountain was the closest summer resort to the capital, but because most of the aristocratic families in the capital had their own courtyards, there were very few inns.

This time, the palace decreed that all the first-class madams would go to the West Mountains to celebrate with Princess Luojia. If so, living here would become a big problem.

Second Aunt must have come here because she had no place to stay. After all, on this summer's day, after travelling for three to four hours, she had to find a place to dress up before coming out.

So she secretly sent people to the front yard to ask Xiao Rui's opinion, to see if they could get their second aunt to go with them.

Not long after, the maidservant that went to the front courtyard came back and nodded at Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan knew that this was Xiao Rui's agreement, so she made an appointment with Madam Qiao to set off on the 14th day, thinking that it would not be that hot on a hot day, so she left early.

When Madam Qiao saw the large stone in her heart drop to the ground, she chatted with Jiang Wan for a while before taking her leave.
