The widowed sister-in-law is embarrassed, she criticizes the villain like he only wants to be a love

Late at night, a dark shadow leaped into a courtyard.

Jiang Ci, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes, got up and walked out quickly.

When the man in black saw Jiang Ci approaching, he knelt on the ground with one knee.

"Your Highness."

Jiang Ci glanced at the visitor with an indifferent gaze: "There is no His Highness here, only Jiang Ci."

"Yes, please keep this in mind."

"Can you find out the identity of the old man in my room?"

"A few days ago, news came from Nanwei Mansion that Cui Xuanzi, the leader of the Cui clan, is still missing. Based on Cui Xuanzi's age and appearance, it is very likely that he is this person."

Jiang Ci's stern face showed a hint of surprise.

The Cui family of Qinghe, the first family of the Sui Dynasty?

Unexpectedly, she randomly rescued an old man, and it turned out to be Cui Xuanzi, the leader of the Cui clan?

"Sir, my master asked me to pass a message to you. If you can get the support of the Cui family, it will be of great help to you in the future."

Jiang Ci naturally understood the logic of this period.

A flowing dynasty and an iron-clad family, the Cui family of Qinghe has been able to stand for thousands of years. Their financial and material resources are enough to make the enemy's country rich. The bodyguard disciples they secretly cultivated are a trump card that can shake the entire Sui Dynasty.

If he can connect with the Cui family, his plan can be carried out two years in advance.

"Go back and tell Wei Zhao to clean up those who are chasing Cui Xuanzi."

"Yes!"

Jiang Ci thought of something and glanced at the other party coldly.

"When will Wei Zhao leave?"

"There has been more and more chaos in the capital recently, and the master plans to return to the capital as soon as possible."

"He asked you to stay?"

"Yes, the master asked his subordinates to stay to protect your safety."

Jiang Ci looked towards Yan Shu's room and said calmly: "Don't let her see you."

The man in black was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood when he noticed the direction Jiang Ci was looking in.

He has been secretly protecting His Highness these past few days, and His Highness's thoughts towards his sister-in-law are not entirely innocent.

"Understandable."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man in black bowed his hands towards Jiang Ci and flew into the darkness.

Jiang Ci stood with his hands behind his back, his deep eyes moved away from the door, and raised his head to look at the bright moon hanging in the sky.

If he hadn't been burdened with a blood feud, he would have preferred to be an ordinary person, but with this fate, there was no what if.

-

next day

Yan Shu got up early in the morning. After washing, she walked to Jiang Ci's door and knocked gently on the door.

There was a sound of footsteps in the house, and the door opened.

"Uncle, how is the old man doing?"

"My complexion is much better, and the bleeding from the wound has stopped."

Yan Shu walked to the bedside and took Mr. Cui's pulse first, then checked the wound. After being nursed back to health by the spiritual spring water, his health improved significantly.

This life was saved.

"He should wake up soon. I'm going to cook. What would uncle like to eat in the morning?"

"I'm not picky about food, my sister-in-law can do as she pleases."

Yan Shu thought about it and said with a smile, "Then I'll just do it casually."

Yan Shu walked to the small vegetable patch in the backyard, picked some leeks and took them to the well to clean them.

Go back to the kitchen, dice the leeks, beat the eggs and fry them in oil, add a handful of dried shrimps, add the leeks, salt and seasonings and stir evenly.

Take two ladles of white flour from the clay pot and knead it into a smooth dough, roll it into a round dough in sections, wrap it with leek and egg filling, put a pan on the small stove and brush it with a thin layer of lard, and fry it on both sides. golden.

I made ten leek boxes in one go, and the white rice porridge was also ready.

After Jiang Ci washed up, he sat under the banyan tree in the yard with a book and read in the morning. Waves of fragrance wafted out of the kitchen.

What does she cook so deliciously?

Closing the book, Jiang Ci curiously walked to the kitchen and took a look at the bamboo basket next to the stove.

"What did sister-in-law do?"

"The leek box is made of leeks, eggs and dried shrimps. It's still a little hot now. You can try it after it cools down."

"I'll serve the food. Sister-in-law, go take a shower."

Yan Shu had fair skin, but due to the high temperature in the kitchen, her cheeks were lightly pink, exuding a natural charm.

Jiang Ci's eyes darkened, he lowered his eyes and silently served the meal.

Yan Shu walked to the backyard, took a basin of spiritual spring water and washed his face.

Nourished by the spiritual spring water, her skin becomes increasingly whiter and more delicate to the naked eye. She will not tan even if she is exposed to the scorching sun. It is truly a natural skin care product.

He patted the water droplets on his face and took out the handkerchief to wipe it.

Back in the front yard, Jiang Ci happened to come out of his room.

"The man is awake."

Yan Shu raised his eyebrows slightly and walked into the room happily.

Jiang Ci's gaze fell on her inquiringly.

She seems to know this person's identity?

"Old man, you're awake."

Cui Xuanzi's wise eyes fell on Yan Shu and he looked up and down.

"Is it you, a little girl, who saved me last night?"

Yan Shu had a gentle smile on his face.

"Yes, when you rolled down from the roof, I happened to pass by and I was really shocked."

Cui Xuanzi had some vague memories of the situation at that time. He was chased and seriously injured. He fell from the roof while climbing over a wall. He heard a woman scream before he passed out.

This girl must have been frightened by him.

"Little girl, thank you for saving my life."

"It's just a hands-on effort."

"Can you help me up? I want to get up and sit for a while."

Yan Shu shook his head: "The knife wound on your left chest is so deep that you can see the bone. I used a needle and thread to mend the wound last night. It's best for you to lie in bed and not move around in the past two days."

Cui Xuanzi was surprised. Was the wound repaired with needles and thread?

He reached out and touched the injured left chest, and a stitched scar was clearly visible: "This is the first time I've heard that wounds can be mended with needles and threads."

Yan Shu smiled and said: "Needles and threads can help speed up wound healing. Otherwise, with the current weather, if your wound is not treated properly, it will become infected. If it is serious, it will invade the lungs and it will be difficult to treat even the gods."

Although this was the first time Cui Xuanzi had heard of this method of treating people, it was not difficult to tell from the little girl's words that she was proficient in medical skills.

"Does the girl know medical skills?"

Yan Shu said modestly: "I know a little bit. You are hungry. I have cooked the porridge and will bring it to you."

"It's work."

After Yan Shu left, Cui Xuanzi looked at Jiang Ci and narrowed his eyes shrewdly.

Was this the little brat who threatened him last night?

"You are so lucky to have married a virtuous and kind-hearted wife."

Unlike you, cold-blooded creature.

Jiang Ci smiled lightly, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

"How could the dignified head of the Cui family in Qinghe be like a bereaved dog, being chased all the way to a small place like ours?"

Cui Xuanzi's expression changed slightly and he stared at Jiang Ci warily.

"who are you?"

The first time he saw this kid, he felt that he was not simple. His eyes were not as simple as a country person should be, nor as innocent as a teenager. Instead, they were as cold and knowing as a deep pool, making it difficult to fathom.

With such an unpredictable gaze at this age, this kid is definitely a ruthless person.
