After the general's wife was reborn, everyone knelt down and begged her for mercy.

Chapter 28 Big Brother is Here
Ning Ruyan was stunned. Yes, she couldn't refuse at all. Moreover, although the handle in her hand didn't seem like much, if someone deliberately manipulated it, it might become her hoarding, and it might even involve her. When it comes to rebellion, she is not alone. There are hundreds of members of the Ning family behind her, and she cannot afford to gamble.

"Master Jiang, what kind of bargaining chips do I need to make you let me go?"

"You don't want to follow me that much?"

"I'm a widow, and I don't want to be drowned by spit." Ning Ruyan sighed. This world is unfair to women, but she can't give up on herself just because of unfairness. No matter how difficult it is, she must hold on to the bottom line, and she must be clean in the future. A clean and upright death.

I don't even want to use myself to gain any benefit from those white-eyed wolves.

Jiang Yan raised his hand and touched Ning Ruyan's head, then lay down and said, "Go to sleep."

Ning Ruyan was stunned, but Jiang Yan directly pressed her head on his arm, and put his other hand on her waist, just like last time.

She wanted to refuse, but found that the other party had closed his eyes.

Forget it, in her past life and this life, she felt that she might not be able to escape this man for the rest of her life. If she still had to follow the old path, she would have no regrets after working hard.

When he woke up again, the sky had darkened. Jiang Yan was nowhere to be seen again as expected. The bed around him was cold. He couldn't help but sigh. Not to mention, it was comfortable to sleep with someone in your arms. At least it was warmer than Mrs. Tang. Much warmer.

It's the end of February now, and the temperature is still not high. Although the charcoal pot is no longer lit, we still need to prepare soup every night, otherwise it will be very cold in bed.

Before, she sometimes felt cold all night long, but now, she feels warm when she sleeps.

She got up, washed and ate something, and then continued to lie down. As for the mourning hall, whoever wanted to go there could go, but she wouldn't go anyway.

"Miss, there's a letter from Gusu." At this moment, Banxia rushed in excitedly.

"Really?" Ning Ruyan stood up hurriedly and took the letter from Banxia's hand. When she saw the envelope, she knew it was from her eldest brother. She hurriedly opened it and took out the letter paper. After reading the three lines at a glance, her eyes were filled with tears. Turning red, "Big brother has entered Beijing. He will probably arrive the day after tomorrow."

"Really?" Bai Zhi came over in surprise, "That's great."

"Bai Zhi, you go to the pier the day after tomorrow to pick up your brother in person." Ning Ruyan put the letter away, and the day after tomorrow happened to be the last day of the funeral, so she rushed over to pay homage.

"Okay." Bai Zhi nodded.

"Tell brother, just give me 100 taels of silver as a gift." Ning Ruyan thought for a moment and asked Bai Zhi, "It's hard to give away the rest."

In the six months since we got married, during the Chinese New Year, my eldest brother sent us several boatloads of things, which amounted to tens of thousands of taels of silver.

In her previous life, she thought it was nothing, but in this life, she doesn't show off.

"Okay." Bai Zhi nodded, "Just let the young master give all the things he brought to the young lady."

Ning Ruyan nodded: "That's the gift."

In a blink of an eye, it was the seventh day after the death of the soul. Early in the morning, Bai Zhi took a few servants out.

Ning Ruyan went to the mourning hall and had to put on a show on the last day.

"Ning." Huo also came over and glanced at Ning Ruyan, "Gusu has also sent a letter, why hasn't anyone come yet?"

"My daughter-in-law has just received the news that the eldest brother will arrive today." Ning Ruyan lowered her eyes slightly, "I have asked Bai Zhi to pick her up at the pier."

"How about just Bai Zhi?" Huo became a little anxious upon hearing this, and immediately called the housekeeper, "Jiang Cheng, hurry up and take someone to pick up your eldest brother, don't be lazy." Ning Ruyan knew that she couldn't stop her, so she simply didn't speak. , Jiang Chengye was allowed to leave in a hurry with his people.

Beijing Suburb Wharf.

Bai Zhi looked at Ning Ruchen who was walking off the boat, her eyes were red: "I have met the young master."

"Baizhi, no courtesy." Ning Ruchen hurriedly raised her hand, "Where is Ayan? How is she?"

"The eldest lady is fine, but she misses home." Bai Zhi sniffed, "I was so happy to know that the eldest young master was coming, so I ate half a bowl of rice more."

"That's good." Ning Ruchen smiled.

Just as Bai Zhi was about to ask Ning Ruchen to get in the car, she saw Jiang Cheng hurried over from a distance. She couldn't help but frowned and lowered her voice quickly: "Young master, the eldest lady told you to go and express condolences later." I only need to pay 100 taels of silver when I arrive, and the rest can be given to the eldest lady myself."

"Huh?" Ning Ruchen frowned, "Did something happen?"

"You will know when the young master meets the young lady."

"Okay." Ning Ruchen nodded.

At this moment, Jiang Cheng had already rushed over: "I've met Young Master Ning."

"Steward Jiang, thank you for your hard work." Ning Ruchen's face immediately put on his usual gentle smile.

"It's not hard. The eldest lady is waiting for you at the mansion. Please get in the car." Jiang Cheng directly overshadowed the guests and squeezed Bai Zhi into a group.

Ning Ruchen nodded and did not get into the Jiang family's carriage. Instead, he got into his own carriage and left before unloading the ship. Since the little sister said she would not give anything to the Jiang family, then what he had brought was The boat's belongings can be sent to the yard where I bought it. Anyway, that yard is for my little sister.

In the General's Mansion, Huo finally got the news that the eldest young master of the Ning family had arrived, and she couldn't help but stood up excitedly.

Ning Ruyan also stood up, but instead of waiting, she directly picked up the hem of her skirt and ran out. As soon as she arrived at the door of the front hall, she saw that familiar figure, and tears fell instantly.

"Ayan." Ning Ruchen's eyes turned red when she looked at her sister.

"Brother, wuwu..." Ning Ruyan couldn't help but threw herself into her eldest brother's arms and cried loudly.

Ning Ruchen, just like when she was a child, gently patted Ning Ruyan's back. He did not persuade her not to cry, but allowed her to vent. After the crying subsided, he touched her head: "Don't If you cry, your eyes will hurt if you cry again."

"Yes." After Ning Ruyan cried, the depression in her heart had almost dissipated, and she nodded and stood up straight, feeling a little embarrassed, "I soiled your clothes."

"I'm used to it." Ning Ruchen smiled and said, "Wash your face, it's time for me to pay a visit to the elders."

Jiang Cheng immediately came over and personally led Ning Ruchen to the mourning hall, and handed him three sticks of incense.

Ning Ruchen put incense on the coffin and threw a bunch of paper money into the brazier. Then she greeted Huo and gave her a "white envelope".

The excitement in Huo's eyes could not be concealed. However, when the butler sang Ning Ruchen's gift of 100 taels, his expression immediately lost control. If he hadn't taken face into consideration, he would have asked Ning Ruchen if he had made a mistake. 100 taels?How do you get it?
