The cousin girl plays the role of silly and sweet every day

Chapter 37 Let’s add insult to injury
That year, Jiang Wenyu was eight years old.

She hugged her knees and sat on the threshold waiting for her grandfather to come home.

After waiting for a day, instead of waiting for my grandfather, a man came.The man told her that her grandfather was gone and asked her to go home with him.

Later, Jiang Wenyu learned that his grandfather had died to save Xie Zhi's father.

Before her grandfather died, he hoped that Xie Zhiwei's father could help take care of her.

Therefore, eight-year-old Jiang Wenyu thought that he would stay in Xie's Mansion for the rest of his life.

Until the Mid-Autumn Festival when I was ten years old.

Several of Xie Zhiwei's friends came to Xie's house, including Li Ruyi.

The seventh princess Li Ruyi and the fifth prince Li Jingheng were both born to Concubine Qin. Xie Zhiwei had been Li Jingheng's companion since he was a child, and he and Li Ruyi had also known each other since childhood.

Jiang Wenyu didn't know anything about chess, calligraphy or painting, and looked dull and stupid. The nanny beside Mrs. Xie didn't let her move around as she pleased.

She found a deserted place and entertained herself by swinging, looking up at the disk-like moon in the sky.

Li Ruyi, who was lost, happened to see her. Children of the same age always tend to have a good impression of each other.

Jiang Wenyu looked at Li Ruyi's clothes and headdress and praised, "Your skirt is so beautiful."

Li Ruyi also smiled and said, "I think it looks good too."

She was the first girl of the same age that Jiang Wenyu had known, so when Li Ruyi said she wanted to sit on the swing, Jiang Wenyu readily agreed.

But Jiang Wenyu didn't expect that Li Ruyi would suddenly raise her arms and shout while swinging on the swing.When the swing reached mid-air, Li Ruyi fell down.

This scene happened to be seen by Li Jingheng.

Li Jingheng ran towards Li Ruyi and held his unconscious sister in his arms.

Jiang Wenyu took out a handkerchief to wipe off the dirt on Li Ruyi's hands, but was suddenly pushed down by Li Jingheng.

Xie Zhiwei and his party came over and saw Jiang Wenyu falling to the ground and Li Ruyi unconscious.

"what happened?"

Li Jingheng said: "This cheap servant dares to push Ruyi off the swing!"

People around him looked at Jiang Wenyu.

The atmosphere became subtle.

Li Jingheng used a lot of force when he pushed Jiang Wenyu. Her legs hurt from the fall and she couldn't get up. She could only shake her head and said, "No, no, I didn't push her."

"I didn't push you. Could it be that Ruyi threw it by himself?" Li Jingheng said angrily, "I want to put this cheap maid to death!"

Jiang Wenyu had tears in his eyes. He looked to Xie Zhiwei for help and said, "Brother Xie...I don't have..."

Xie Zhiwei was unmoved and said coldly: "Apologise."

"..."

Jiang Wenyu got up with difficulty, his body was dirty and his hands were gray.

She said: "I really didn't push her, she dropped it by herself. When she wakes up, you ask her...really..."

Xie Zhiwei didn't respond.

Jiang Wenyu's body suddenly tilted and he fell heavily to the ground.

Her eyes widened immediately.

I don't know who it was, but it was Xie Zhiwei who pushed her hard when she wasn't paying attention.

She fell ugly, and there were mosquito-like annoying jeers and insults in her ears.

At this moment, everything was creepy.

Jiang Wenyu looked at the dark ground, his elbows and knees hurt like never before, and tears rolled down his face.

Among the people present, she only knew Xie Zhiwei, so she subconsciously looked for him.

Xie Zhiwei stepped forward to treat the wound on Li Ruyi's hand, then looked at her expressionlessly and repeated: "Jiang Wenyu, apologize."

"..."

Jiang Wenyu lay down for a long time, wondering what he was thinking.

What could she think about.

Why doesn't Xiang Xie Zhiwei believe her?

Wondering why no one helped her?

But, what’s the point of figuring it out.

Later, Li Ruyi woke up and told them that she accidentally fell, and Li Jingheng let Jiang Wenyu go.

Only then did Xie Zhiwei think of the helpless little girl who fell to the ground.

He ran over and tried to help her up.

However, when Xie Zhi was in danger, Jiang Wenyu had slowly gotten up from the ground.

When she saw him, she raised her hand to wipe away her tears. The moonlight shone on her face, illuminating her smile.

"Thank you brother, happy Mid-Autumn Festival."

Although Li Ruyi said it was not her who pushed him, Jiang Wenyu was still punished.

It rained heavily that night, and the coldness crept over my body.

Ten-year-old Jiang Wenyu knelt in the ancestral hall, clumsily copying Buddhist scriptures word by word with trembling hands.

The next day, the maid walked into the ancestral hall and woke up Jiang Wenyu who was curled up in a ball.

Xie Zhiwei sent her to Su Mansion.

"This is your uncle, aunt... this will be your home from now on."

Jiang Wenyu said happily: "That's great, I have a home too! I have a family too!"

Su Chengye had known that he had such a niece and inherited a large fortune from his grandfather, but he still didn't want to raise her.

Now that Jin Yiwei is taking action, they can only accept it under the attraction of money and the pressure of power.

In fact, Jiang Wenyu should have understood at that time that no one would stand on her side.

No one is obligated to take her side.

Including loved ones.

*
Memories come to an abrupt end.

Li Jingheng and Li Ruyi walked forward.

Xie Zhiwei bowed his head and said, "Your Highness, Fifth Highness, Seventh Princess."

Jiang Wenyu folded his body lightly and said, "Your Highness, Fifth Highness, Seventh Princess."

Li Ruyi said sullenly: "Xie Zhiwei, how many times have I told you, don't salute me, and don't call me Seventh Princess, call me Li Ruyi!"

"Ruyi, don't yell." Although Li Jingheng's tone was a bit tough, his face was lifeless.Li Ruyi snorted.

Li Jingheng's eyes fell on Jiang Wenyu inadvertently: "Who is this?"

Xie Zhiwei said: "Jiang Wenyu from Su Mansion."

Li Jingheng had always been in contact with Xie Zhiwei, so he knew about his childhood sweetheart, but he thought it was the first time he saw her.

"Cousin, why are you here today?"

Wei Zheng's birthday banquet was used by the empress to bring together the emperor's grandsons and noble daughters in the capital. He was asking questions knowingly.

Jiang Wenyu replied: "I came here with my cousin."

"Su Qianqian?" Li Jingheng said with a condescending attitude, "The prince seems to be going to meet with the queen when he sees her, aren't you going?"

It was clearly a dig at her.

Su Qianqian was the apprentice of Imperial Physician Wen, and it was normal for Li Zhaoyi to be recommended to the empress. However, when Jiang Wenyu went there, it became unjust and unreasonable.

A pure smile appeared on Jiang Wenyu's face, and he said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Your Highness, you are joking, I am a woman who is not diligent in all aspects of her body and does not distinguish between grains and grains. If I run around at will, I will probably scare people."

Scary?

Li Jingheng looked at her beautiful face.

Although Xie Zhiwei's green plum is a useless snack, it is not bad in appearance.

Before he could speak, he heard Xie Zhiwei say: "I brought Yu'er, why do you want to see the Queen?"

Li Jingheng was stunned, obviously not expecting Xie Zhiwei to say anything.

"Didn't the cousin say she came with her cousin?" Li Jingheng asked again.

Xie Zhiwei said coldly: "Does it matter to you whether it is yes or no?"

Li Jingheng pulled his lower lip.

Xie Zhiwei could see that he was deliberately making things difficult.

Jiang Wenyu stood quietly aside. His hands hidden under his sleeves were itchy and he wanted to grab a handful of melon seeds to eat.

After all, it was really boring for the two of them to talk.

Li Jingheng looked sideways at Jiang Wenyu, who blinked at him with an innocent look on his face.

Jiang Wenyu humbly asked: "Your Highness the Fifth Prince has been looking at me. Is there something on my face?"

It was noon, and people who were strolling around admiring flowers walked towards the building to prepare for their meal.

Shen Huai went to Wangyue Tower to celebrate Wei Zheng's birthday, and Xiao Yuansong took Tan Shu to find new friends.

Seeing something, Xiao Yuansong stopped.

"Aren't they Xie Zhiwei and Li Jingheng over there? Why do you feel something is wrong with them, and they are quarreling over the Seventh Princess?"

Tan Shu didn't respond and continued walking forward without squinting.

Xiao Yuansong tilted his head: "My cousin is here too."

Tan Shu suddenly stopped and looked back.

Jiang Wenyu pretended to suspect that there was something on his face and wiped it twice.

She looked down at her palms and saw nothing.

Jiang Wenyu: "Huh?"

Xie Zhiwei glanced at Li Jingheng indifferently and said to her: "Yu'er, stop touching it. There is nothing on your face. It's because someone's eyes are unclean."

Jiang Wenyu put down his hands obediently on his face, but he was thinking in his heart, is it really okay for you to mock the fifth prince you have been following like this?

Li Jingheng's eyes were cold, and the warning in his tone was undisguised: "Master Xie, before you took the case without permission, you violated a taboo and caused trouble..."

"So what? Does the Fifth Highness think that I can't even make any suggestions?" Xie Zhiwei's voice was filled with chill.

Jiang Wenyu didn't think they were arguing because of her.

The reason why the two of them started to confront each other was because of the long-term suppression.

As Li Zhaoyi grew more powerful, Li Jingheng was worried that Xie Zhiwei would change hands and wanted to control him; Xie Zhiwei felt that he was an emotionless tool and wanted to resist.

As for the fuse.

Maybe Xie Zhiwei thinks that Jiang Wenyu is his property and no one can bully him except him?

Jiang Wenyu didn't understand men, nor did he want to.

It has nothing to do with her anyway.

There were no melon seeds, so Jiang Wenyu started counting out of boredom.

one two Three……

As she counted, she remembered a question she had asked her grandfather a long time ago:
Why does one hand only have five fingers?
Tan Shu saw Jiang Wenyu's closed hands hidden in his sleeves, stretching out one by one, then closing and unfolding them again and again.

He suddenly felt a little funny.

Others were arguing and she was playing with her fingers.

Xiao Yuansong said: "What a great opportunity, let's go and add insult to injury."

"Not interested." Tan Shu walked away without looking back.

Xiao Yuansong looked at the new friends not far away, and then at the old friends farther and farther away. After thinking about it, he still felt that the old friends were more important, so he followed him.

After all, new friends are not necessarily friends, but old friends are definitely friends!

*
The atmosphere between Xie Zhiwei and Li Jingheng was tense.

Li Ruyi thought they were quarreling because of him again.

"Stop talking!" She stood between the two of them and shouted: "It's all my fault. Stop fighting over me."

Xie Zhiwei and Li Jingheng still looked at each other with cold faces.

Li Ruyi turned to Jiang Wenyu for help, "Jiang Wenyu, right? You should also advise them."

Jiang Wenyu smelled the aroma of vegetables wafting over.

She touched her belly and felt that she was starving.

"Your Majesty, Fifth Highness, Seventh Princess, thank you sir, meal time has come, I will take my leave first."

After saying that, Jiang Wenyu walked straight to the Star-Zhaing Tower.

Li Ruyi: "?"

Xie Zhiwei: "..."

Li Jingheng: "Haha."

As expected of a stupid cousin, she doesn't know how to look at her face at all. She only knows how to eat when she's hungry and sleep when she's sleepy.
