She accidentally flirted with the villain and was fiercely criticized as the regent for forcibly mar

"I was wrong! I'll never do it again." Jiang Ruining immediately admitted defeat, crawling back like a quail. To avoid being kicked off, she tugged at his collar and shook him gently, pleading in a sweet, coquettish voice, "Master~ don't leave me! I'm scared~"

A ticklish sensation crept into Xiao Che's ear, making him freeze: "I'm injured, I can't handle this much, get down now."

Jiang Ruining reasonably suspects that he is spreading rumors about her being fat again!

That's pure nonsense. Even if this character is portrayed as very evil in the book, every time she appears, there's a description of her slender figure and ethereal beauty. How could she possibly be fat?

But she didn't dare to talk back.

She whimpered into his neck, saying all sorts of mushy things: "I'm pretty skinny, you're a real man, you don't care about my weight! I won't move, don't chase me away~"

Xiao Che patted her on the shoulder: "If you don't go down now, my wound is going to burst open!"

After a struggle with her conscience, Jiang Ruining gritted her teeth and said, "Touch me..."

Xiao Che's hand moved down her calf.

Jiang Ruining shuddered, then lowered her head and bit him hard: "Xiao Che! I told you to touch the part of the bed I was going to lie on to make sure it was safe, not to touch me!"

Xiao Che: "..."

Despite the pain from his wounds, he pushed the person down.

His tone became stiff and formal.

"Lie still, don't move, and don't speak!"

Unaware that she had been pushed down, Jiang Ruining immediately pulled his arm around her, rested her head on his shoulder, wrapped her legs around his, widened her eyes, pricked up her ears, and tensed up her mind.

soon.

She heard Xiao Che's even breathing.

so envious.

She dared not sleep at all.

I was so tired that I couldn't stay awake any longer and woke up in a fright after only a short while.

She wanted to call Yunmi in to keep an eye on things for her.

As it turned out, Yun Mi, being unreliable, didn't hear it and woke Xiao Che up instead.

He delivered a chop to her neck, knocking her unconscious.

The little head fell back into Xiao Che's shoulder, and the little mouth that had been chattering incessantly finally quieted down.

This was the first time he had ever regretted something he had done.

How could there be such a daring and troublesome woman!

However, the way her cheeks are puffed out in a soft, rounded shape right now is still quite cute.

one night.

Jiang Ruining was dreaming of being chased by a snake!

I can't get rid of it no matter what.

I finally woke up from the nightmare just before dawn.

then.

She stared at Xiao Che, tugging at him, until Yun Mi came in to help her get up.

Seeing the dark circles under her master's eyes and his listless state, Yunmi was extremely worried: "Master, did you have a fight with the Duke of Zhou last night?"

Jiang Ruining glared resentfully at Xiao Che, who slowly got up.

Xiao Che was completely unaffected and felt perfectly justified in ordering Jiang Ruining to serve him while he washed up.

Jiang Ruining pretended not to hear, turned around, and glared at Yun Mi again: "If you hadn't slept so soundly, I wouldn't be in such a miserable state."

Having slept soundly, Yun Mi scratched her head in confusion: "Huh?"

Jiang Ruining was so angry that she was dizzy and staggered.

Yun Mi quickly caught her and helped her to the table, then nimbly helped the two of them wash up, and then massaged her master's head acupoints.

Press down in one round.

Jiang Ruining has finally recovered a bit.

They dragged and pulled Xiao Che back to the bedside and pushed him down.

Xiao Che was in a good mood and didn't mind her rudeness, letting her examine, cool, and change the dressing without any carelessness.

It has been three days.

The swelling in the wound has mostly subsided, and it is healing better than expected.

If he recovers well for another seven or eight days, he will be able to walk, sit, and lie down freely, and there will be no need to worry about him being recognized when he appears in public.

After changing his dressing, Jiang Ruining casually patted him on the shoulder.

Xiao Che's body trembled.

He squeezed his eyes shut: "..." He hadn't been on guard against her at all!

After Jiang Ruining finished taking the picture, she realized that she had acted a little too quickly.

blinked.

Pretending nothing was wrong, I got up and walked around the screen.

I waited and waited.

The demon didn't lash out.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, by rummaging through the original owner's memories, they began searching everywhere for their secret stash of money.

She couldn't stay in that room for another second.

She's the type of person who can be both a homebody and a party animal, but only when she's alone!

Being in the same room with this unpredictable and difficult person is already uncomfortable enough, but now there's also the snake shadow. If I don't let her go out for some fresh air, she'll go crazy!

Hurry up and leave.

Every second counts.

After searching for a long time, I found about twenty copper coins and about six or seven taels of silver.

poverty!

Compared to Chu Jin's monthly allowance of one hundred taels, it was as pitiful as begging.

He only received two taels of silver a month.

Sometimes, Madam Jiang would even use this as an excuse to punish them with confiscation.

These six or seven taels of silver must have taken the original owner a long time to save up.

Forget about buying hairpins and jewelry, I can't even afford decent dim sum in a good restaurant!

Fortunately, she found two hundred-tael silver notes in the hidden compartment of her dressing case. These were secretly given to her by the Jiang family father and son when they returned to the capital three years ago. She had prepared two birthday gifts for Madam Jiang, but they were compared to Chu Jin's and she was mocked for being stingy, so she never spent them again.

I'm going out to buy things today, but I can't possibly spend all of Chu Jin's money; she's not that shameless!

We need to find out more about the popular foods and items in the city right now. If we can buy them, we should buy them; if we can't buy them right away, we should pre-order them so that when the Jiang family father and son return, they can taste them as soon as possible and strengthen the bond between father and daughter, and brother and sister.

To know whether her life in this era was good or bad, and whether she could fulfill the original owner's wishes, it was necessary for someone in real power to protect her and favor her.

He secretly hid the silver and banknotes in his sleeve pocket.

Hurry up and get out of the house.

We can't let Chu Jin in.

The female lead has such sharp eyes; I'd better not let her discover anything and cause unnecessary trouble.

She had no intention of reporting her itinerary.

The fiend was so perceptive that he immediately guessed her intention to go out.

Xiao Che appeared behind her without her noticing, grabbed her by the back of the neck, and decided her fate with a single sentence: "Stay in the house obediently."

Jiang Ruining weakly made an excuse: "I'm better now, I should go and prepare morning prayers for Madam Jiang. There are snakes everywhere in the house, I'm scared, I'll go outside for a while."

Xiao Che doesn't believe her nonsense!

He turned and sat down at the table under the back window, picked up his brush, dipped it in ink, and wrote a reply on the folded paper: "Master said no. Grind ink for Master, and when you have something to do, you won't have time to think about other things."

Jiang Ruining then realized that he wasn't looking at the books in her room at all, but at folding books!

So while she was asleep, his men had already been in and out of her room countless times?

The complete lack of privacy from the surveillance infuriated her: "Do you even know what respect is?! Why do you have the right to come and go from my house without my permission?!"

Shi An's voice came in from outside the back window, very low, but clear enough for those inside to hear: "I didn't come in, but I passed things through the back window a few times."

Jiang Ruining opened the window and looked around before finally spotting Shi An, dressed in light brown clothes, lying on the sloping eaves beam of the same color.

If you didn't know for sure that someone was behind you and looked carefully, you would never have noticed that someone was hiding there!

Her eyes swept over him coldly: "Shut up! Is it okay to open someone else's window without permission? Is it okay to eavesdrop on me without my permission? I may not have had a mother to teach me, but didn't you have a master to teach you?"

"You rude jerk! I curse you to trip and fall ten times every day!"

"Pooh!"

bump!

The rear window was slammed shut again.

Shi An touched his nose: "..."

Xiao Che, who hadn't been scolded but was still being yelled at, was speechless.
