Jiang Ruohua looked at the rose cake in her hand with regret: "No one eats it, why not throw it away."

When Hu Xingxing heard that it was going to be thrown away, she was unhappy and snatched it away immediately, not forgetting to say a few words: "I hate you young ladies from aristocratic families the most. You don't know how many people in places like this can't even eat a bite of the crumbs. Throw it away, what a waste!"

Then she picked up a piece and took a big bite. Instantly, a smile spread across her face. She squinted her eyes as if she was about to fall into a honey pot, and couldn't help saying: "It's delicious!"

Jiang Ruohua stood beside her and looked over: "Sister, don't you like sweets?"

Hu Xingxing's expression tightened, and then suddenly realized: "You are fooling me again!"

Jiang Ruohua didn't say anything, but the corners of her mouth really couldn't help but rise. There was no way to fool Hu Xingxing like this. It was very interesting. She loved to see Hu Xingxing like this recently. She was obviously greedy but had to be stubborn.

But it has been much better recently. She could still pretend for a while before, but recently she realized that he always played tricks on her, so she got used to it.

Hu Xingxing snorted while wrapping the rose cake, and didn't bother to be polite to Jiang Ruohua anymore. Who told her that the snacks Jiang Ruohua brought every day were really delicious and varied? Really delicious!

But just as she was about to eat the second piece, the rose cake in her hand was snatched away. Xu Weiqing held the oil paper package in one hand and a pot of wine in the other, and stuffed the rose cake into his mouth without cherishing it at all. He frowned at Hu Xingxing's extremely reluctant voice, chewed it twice and spit it out. The rest was also thrown away casually, and he stepped on it hard when it fell at his feet!

"It's so unpalatable, so sweet!" Hu Xingxing's happiness was gone after being crushed by his feet.

But Xu Weiqing didn't care. He drank two sips of wine and scolded Hu Xingxing after listening to her crying: "Why are you crying? Don't you mind your own noise all day long!"

This was not the first time that such a thing happened. Jiang Ruohua pursed her lips. She could predict what Xu Weiqing would say next.

"You just bring two pieces of broken cakes all day long. The yellow-haired girl has no skills but is very good at buying people's hearts. She is so young but has the stench of nobility!"

Shrugged. Similar words can be heard almost every day. Xu Weiqing seems to hate everything in the world. In Jiang Ruohua's opinion, he seems to hate any beautiful thing, whether it is the glamorousness of the nobles, the wealth of the rich, or the warmth of ordinary people, or the little happiness of poor people in hardship, he seems to despise them all. A pack of snacks, obviously nothing wrong, but in Xu Weiqing's mouth, it seems to be a heinous crime.

Crazy, sick, bad, almost everyone who meets Xu Weiqing has such an impression of him.

But it has nothing to do with her.

Apart from practicing martial arts, she would not have any extra contact with Xu Weiqing. Even if they had opposite ideas, Jiang Ruohua thought there was no need to argue about it. Even if she won the argument and proved that her theory was correct, would Xu Weiqing change?

If she had time to do these things, she might as well strengthen her own strength. Xu Weiqing's words were fine. She was too lazy to take it to heart. After all, it was not worth getting angry about it.

In the final analysis, how could the once world-famous champion not understand the principles that even children understand? Xu Weiqing was better than herself now, no matter how miserable he was. Why did he fall into such a situation today? He had his own helplessness and choice. It was inevitable that she, a teenager, comforted someone who had lived for decades. It was easy to talk without any pain.

What's more, if she was not careful, it would anger Xu Weiqing. She couldn't beat him, so why bother? Even if she wanted to meddle in other people's business, she had to wait until she had the ability to do so.

Hu Xingxing was still sobbing, but Xu Weiqing had already started to fight. It was true that she had real skills, but Xu Weiqing would never take the initiative to teach anything. How much you could learn depended on how much you could understand from the beatings and scoldings you received.

Exhausted, Jiang Ruohua returned home in the dark, bathed, applied medicine, and then had a good rest as usual.

The next morning, Huachan and Yinqiu's brother Erlin went out to deliver invitations to Xie Shuyan and others. Just after breakfast, something happened to Aunt Yuan.

Fortunately, Jiang Ruohua basically went to Aunt Yuan's place every day. When she heard something happened, she went there immediately. Aunt Yuan was sitting on the bed, and her face did not look very good. After Jiang Ruohua arrived, she frowned slightly and said, "What happened?"

"Miss, Aunt Yuan was scared." The maid who served Aunt Yuan held a bowl of pregnancy medicine and said to Jiang Ruohua, "According to Miss's instructions, someone must test the medicine before Aunt Yuan uses it every day. Today, the taste is not right..."

Jiang Ruohua knew how much Aunt Yuan was counting on the child in her belly. The pregnancy medicine was made in the right amount and boiled according to the doctor's instructions. There would be no mistakes. If the taste was not right, she would naturally suspect that someone had tampered with the pregnancy medicine.

Aunt Yuan was sitting on the bed at this moment, her face was pale. Jiang Ruohua signaled the maid to take the pregnancy medicine, and then comforted her: "Aunt, don't worry, I will ask someone to check it out, and I will definitely not let anyone harm my brother." This made Aunt Yuan feel a little relieved. Jiang Ruohua sat in Aunt Yuan's room and said: "Keep this medicine well, immediately bring the medicine residue and the servants who boiled medicine for Aunt Yuan today, and then ask the palace doctor to see what is added to this medicine." Yinqiu stood beside her and shouted at the other servants: "Hurry up!" The servants did not dare to delay, and hurriedly went to do as Jiang Ruohua said, and the medicine bowl was handed from Aunt Yuan's personal maid to Yinqiu.

Jiang Ruohua was drinking tea. It had not been long since she took over this matter. Logically speaking, the third lady would not be unable to hold back, let alone use this method. It was most likely a misunderstanding, or the servant who prepared the medicine was careless. , it’s not impossible to put the wrong thing in.

While waiting, she caressed the filigree gold bracelet on her wrist. If she were the third wife, the best time to take action would be near the birth, or after the birth. It would be better to kill two people, or give birth. It didn't matter that the child died not long after, or that Aunt Yuan died sadly, it was normal from the outside world.

As a girl who has not yet left the government, she has no understanding of childbirth. If anything goes wrong, she can be blamed on ignorance. Although it is not easy to blame a girl who has not yet left the government, it is enough to double her pressure. After the Third Lady dealt with the concubine, helped her deal with the aftermath, and gained fame, she would become even more dependent on her after suffering setbacks.

After all, at that time, the only way to avoid being gossiped about by others is to hide behind the third lady.

"Miss, we've arrived."

As several servants escorted a little girl in, Jiang Ruohua was freed from his thoughts of speculation, lowered his head slightly and asked the girl: "Are you responsible for boiling Aunt Yuan's anti-fetal medicine?"
