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

Jiang Yan did not break his promise, but because it was inconvenient at dawn, he still sent Ning Ruyan back to Wutong Courtyard in the middle of the night, just like when he was kidnapped, he walked out of bed and returned to bed.

"Put this on, don't take it off." Before leaving, Jiang Yan put a bracelet on Ning Ruyan's wrist, "This one is better than that jade gourd."

Ning Ruyan frowned and wanted to take it off, but she couldn't get rid of the thing that looked neither gold nor silver.

"Don't bother, no one can open this except me." Jiang Yan seemed to be satisfied with the effect, "Of course it can't be smashed and cut."

Ning Ruyan knew that the other party would not lie to her, and she was instantly discouraged.

"So good." Jiang Yan smiled, then turned and left.

Bai Zhi and Banxia, ​​who had been worried all day and night, heard the noise, but they also heard Jiang Yan's voice, so they didn't dare to come in rashly. They didn't run in until they could no longer hear the noise.

"Miss..."

"I'm fine." Ning Ruyan glanced at the two people, then waved her hands, "Nothing happened during the day, right?"

"The old lady sent someone to look for you early in the morning, but I told you that you were not feeling well and didn't get up, so they left. Then they came once at noon and again at night." Bai Zhi said, "I don't believe you this last time. "

"Yeah." Ning Ruyan nodded, "Okay, it's getting late, go to bed, and we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Bai Zhi and Ban Xia nodded, put down the tent, and saw Ning Ruyan closing her eyes before going out.

In Shoukang Courtyard, Mrs. Huo kept sighing.

"Madam, it's getting late, let's take a rest." Aunt Yuan reminded her in a low voice.

"But..." Mr. Huo clicked on a letter on the table in front of him, "But how can I feel relieved?"

"Old madam, I have a few words that I don't know whether to say or not."

"You old thing, just say it if you have something to say."

Aunt Yuan knelt down as soon as she heard this: "What I said may not sound good to you, old lady..."

"I forgive you if it doesn't sound good." Huo waved her hand, "Get up and talk."

Aunt Yuan stood up and said, "Old Madam, it has only been a few months since the eldest young master delivered the letter. I didn't know it before, but now Madam believes me and told me, so I know it, before and after. I sent you almost 800 taels of silver."

Huo didn't say anything, obviously acquiescing.

"Old madam, you have been in charge of the General's Mansion for so many years, and you must be well aware of all kinds of expenses. In our village, a family of five can live very well with only five taels of silver a year."

Huo Shi began to frown.

"We have a huge general's residence with dozens of people in the capital. As long as there are no big things to do, 200 taels of silver are enough for normal daily use." Huo's frown deepened. Although she has been out of poverty for many years, she has been a housewife for decades and has several shops under her control. Therefore, she is not stupid and naturally thought of chewing 100 taels of silver a month. , that is already very luxurious.

It's just that I was very excited when I got the news that my son was still alive, and I was even more excited when I got the news that my son was with his savior and was pregnant, so I didn't think too much about it.

Now that I think about it, it costs a lot.

However, she had already sent Aunt Zhong and others there, and when she left, she also brought 100 taels of silver with her. Why was she short of money now?
"It's a good thing that the eldest young master is alive now, but after all, he is no longer the eldest son of the General's Mansion. You have to be careful and keep a low profile in those days." Aunt Yuan said while secretly looking at Huo's expression, "In case... …” I won’t say the rest of it, but it’s the master’s business what you think.

Huo took a deep breath: "I'll think about it carefully."

Aunt Yuan bowed and stepped back. However, she was also at war with heaven and man in her heart. If it weren't for another letter asking for money, she wouldn't have known that the eldest young master was still alive and even married outside. She said she had lost her memory. I don’t believe it, but should I tell the eldest lady this news?
At this moment, a servant hurried in from outside.

"What are you doing? So reckless?" Aunt Yuan hurriedly stopped the other party.

"I've met Aunt Yuan." The little girl saluted hurriedly, "It's a letter from my aunt."

"Give it to me." Upon hearing this, Aunt Yuan hurriedly took the letter. Of course she didn't forget to grab a handful of copper coins for the little girl as a reward, "Go ahead."

After the little girl left, she returned to the main house.

After reading the letter, Mrs. Huo, who was struggling, suddenly felt much better: "My pearl is coming back. Hurry up and order people to clean the Lily Courtyard again. If anything is missing, make it up as soon as possible... The day after tomorrow morning Send someone to wait at the dock, and they will come and report as soon as they arrive."

"Yes." Aunt Yuan ordered hurriedly.

Ning Ruyan learned the news that Jiang Mingzhu would be arriving soon the next day. She didn't care about it. After all, she had been married to the Jiang family for more than half a year and had never met the sister-in-law. Of course, she had interacted with her in her previous life. , also came back about half a month after Jiang Bonian was buried.

Jiang Mingzhu, like her mother Huo, had a supercilious attitude. On the one hand, she looked down on her as a businesswoman, but on the other hand, she thought her money was fragrant.

In her previous life, she felt sorry for this sister-in-law, and she would pick her up from time to time. With her money, Jiang Mingzhu was quite valued in her husband's family, but if she ignored her in this life, would she still be able to enjoy her life like a fish in water?

"Bai Zhi, has the Buddhist hall been decorated?"

"The arrangements have been made, but Miss, are you really ready..."

"I am a widow. I have no husband and no children. What else can I do if I don't worship Buddha?" Ning Ruyan stood up and said, "Let's go and have a look."

The Buddhist hall was arranged in an unused room in the backyard. She ordered Bai Zhi to decorate it a few days ago. The Dripping Water Guanyin is enshrined in it. Next to it is the memorial tablet of Jiang Bonian, with the piece of tape returned from the battlefield placed on it. Blood jade pendant.

After Ning Ruyan put three sticks of incense on the Bodhisattva, she knelt down on the futon and started beating the wooden fish. In her previous life, she relied on Buddhist scriptures to meditate when she couldn't sleep at night, so worshiping the Buddha was no stranger to her.

When Aunt Yuan was ordered to come over again with the master's card-matching account book, she heard the faint sound of wooden fish, and suddenly a bad feeling came over her.

"Mommy, please go back. My eldest wife has said that although you cannot be ordained or become a monk, you can eat fast and worship Buddha at home. From now on, you will not care about worldly affairs and just pray for the eldest young master and the country of Daxia..." Banxia said to him. The other person put his hands together and recited a Buddha's name. (End of chapter)
