C23 (2/2)

At this moment, He Shun was sneaking around barefooted in another direction.

Coincidentally, Mama Li found the training hall and brought He Yuan back to his room.

Jiang Citrus circled around but couldn't find the person who threw the boot. He didn't see He Shou for a while, so he was suspicious of He Shougao's actions. He thought to himself: Hey, if you can't beat me, then you're playing dirty. Seeing that it was getting late, he brought his nephews home, but saw that He Nian had arrived in a hurry. He pulled him aside and said, ”Just now, Sister Yuan said that she had invited her here, but she ran into the Deputy General. This is to apologize!” As she spoke, she took out a red thread wrapped in nine strands of silk and placed it on Jiang Li's hand. ”Wrap it around your finger. How about we get this over with?”

Jiang Ge couldn't help but be startled when he saw the red thread in his hand. The nine strands of red thread had always been filled with joy. To put it bluntly, this was …?

”When younger sister Xin was fifteen, she promised Young Master Gu. Who knew that Young Master Gu would die within the first half of the year? Since then, Sister Xin was called an ominous person, so she didn't dare to recklessly leave her room. ”I never thought that I'd bump into the lord deputy general today …” He Nian told him about He Zixin's situation.

For a girl like He Zixin who had lost her fiance, if she accidentally bumped into an unmarried man, she would have to tie nine red strings to bring misfortune to him.

”Lady Xin didn't bump into me!” After hearing what He Nian had to say, Jiang Ge recounted what had happened just now. He shook his head and said, ”You are wrongly accusing her!”

”Even so, if Eldest Uncle and Aunt were to find out about this, I'm afraid they would have to punish her.” He Nian nodded. ”I did warn Sister Yuan not to tell anyone about this, but she was just a child, and she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to keep her word.”

Jiang Ge grabbed the red thread in his hand and returned to the manor. When he was about to change his clothes, he raised his arm and smelled a faint fragrance. He was stunned for a moment and remembered that He Zixin had leaned on his left arm.

”This young lady's circumstances are quite pitiful!” Jiang Ge recalled He Zixin's pitiful appearance and could not help but stare blankly into space.

When He Zixin returned to his room, his face was still burning. He took off the mirror cover and looked at himself in the mirror. His face was like a peach. She had promised the young master of the Gu family at the age of fifteen, but she had seen the young master of the Gu family from a distance when she was having a banquet at home. In less than half a year, the young master of the Gu family died of illness. From then on, he rarely left his room, and other than his family's father and brothers, there were almost no other men. He was frightened out of his wits today, and was held in the arms of a strong and unfamiliar man. His state of mind was in complete disarray. His mind was constantly replaying the scene from before. He was afraid that someone else would see through the gossip and that He YuanNian would tell him what had happened. He couldn't help but feel restless and unable to sleep. When he woke up the next morning, it was already on fire. It scared the little girl silly, so she hurriedly went to report to the first wife and asked for medicine, causing her to be thrown off balance.

The next evening, Jiang Li found out from Jiang Hua An and the rest that He Zi Xin was sick and asked a few questions. ”He's missing,” Jiang Huanan said casually. ”I heard that he was sent to call for a famous doctor outside the city. He said that Miss Xin from the main house is suffering from an acute illness.”

He was fine yesterday, how did he get sick today? Jiang Ge frowned slightly. When that boot had flown over, he shouldn't have pulled her. He should have slapped away that boot with his palm. Perhaps it was because he had accidentally given her a hug, but she was afraid of others knowing, so she got sick in a hurry.

Old Madame Jiang was drinking tea when she heard Jiang Ge ask about the illness of the Residence of He's girl. She was so surprised that she forgot to drink tea.

In less than half a day, Old Madame Jiang had heard everything about He Zixin and had pulled Shang Jie into her room to discuss the matter. Shang Jie smiled and said, ”I've seen Miss Xin before, her looks are one in a hundred, and even more rare is her exquisite heart. ”It's a pity that she already let the young master of the Gu family off. Once that young master died, there were rumors that she was Keff's life, which ruined the marriage.

”Our Jiang family is full of martial artists. We have the most yang energy and the toughest lives, so of course she won't be able to defend herself.” Old Lady Jiang chuckled. ”I first asked my teacher to calculate the fate of your little uncle. He said that he had better choose a girl who had once betrothed someone to be with him in order to not injure her. ”Listen to this' Miss Xin '!”

At the end of the year, there was a rumor circulating around the capital that Jiang Ge, the Ice Mountain young brother of the Great General, had been asked to go to He Manor to ask for a marriage.

”I heard that since Old Madam He saw He's son sitting in the academy during the day, she was afraid that their bodies would slip away, so she specially invited some of her brothers from the General's family to instruct them in martial arts. Later on, a guard of the He family, He Shoudao, said that there was something wrong with the Jiang family's brother's teaching method, and he led Jiang Ge over to instruct them. Jiang Ge saw He Zixin in the He family's garden, and for some reason fell in love with her.

According to various versions of the rumor, He Zixin had successfully married into the Jiang family at the age of nineteen.
