Chapter 8
No one slept well that night. When eating early the next morning, they saw the shadows that could not be hidden under each other's eyes. They all felt very uncomfortable. Even the fourth girl, Jiang Jiao, knew that the matter was difficult, so she poked it into the bowl with bamboo chopsticks. rice grains, no appetite.

It was so easy to use, Jiang Yan wanted to break the dull atmosphere, and said, "I have almost finished embroidering those pillow covers, and my mother will find a reliable one, so that I can sell it to subsidize the family."

Tang nodded her head, feeling like a knife was twisting her heart.After discussing with Qiao's mother for most of the night, she couldn't find a suitable solution. No matter how she looked at it, she wanted to send Jiang Yan.How could she be willing to give up such a talented and sensible daughter?
Tears rolled down Tang's eyes.

Jiang Yan forced a smile and said, "Mother, why are you crying again?"

Jiang Jiao put her arms around Tang's arm and said, holding her mouth, "Mother, don't cry."

Jiang Chenfeng's blue shadow was the heaviest at the moment, seeing his mother and sisters so sad, he really wished he could take a knife and kill that bastard Huo Ying immediately!Even if he risked his life, at least his elder sister would not be wronged.

Jiang Wu was standing leaning against the window lattice, and seeing Jiang Chenfeng's look of evil eyes, she could vaguely guess what he was thinking, so she walked up slowly and stood beside him.

At this moment, Miss Yin outside said loudly: "Ma'am, Miss Du San is here."

"Mother, it's Yuan'er." Jiang Wu smiled, at this time, she was the only one who dared to come to the door.

Du Mingyuan is her close friend in the boudoir, and her father, Du Yi, is the sixth-rank general judge of Shuntian Mansion.Du Yi and her father Jiang Xuewen are best friends.Originally, Du Mingyuan often came and walked around. Her dignified and gentle personality should have favored the gentle and generous elder sister, but she was the closest to the notorious "Hedong Lion" who had a completely different personality.

"Mother, I'll invite Yuan'er in." Jiang Wu stepped back.

Tang quickly wiped away her tears, and then took Jiang Yan's handkerchief to wipe her face.

Not long after, Jiang Wu came in holding a plump girl of medium height and wearing a lotus leaf green muslin white rabbit fur wind collar.The girl combed her buns and wore a small pink palace flower on each side. Her face was covered by a light pink gauze, revealing a pair of flexible almond eyes and curved willow-leaf eyebrows, which looked very bright.

"Auntie is well." Upon entering the door, Du Mingyuan saluted Tang shi dignifiedly.

"Sister Yuan, get up, get up, how is your mother?" Tang stood up and supported her with both hands.

Du Mingyuan stood up immediately, and said with a smile: "Mother is very good, but the family is very busy. I only embroidered the auxiliary tent and handed over the errand in the past two days, so I asked my mother to allow me to come and see Wu'er." Jiang Yan, Jiang Chenfeng, and Jiang Jiao greeted each other, and Jiang Yan hurriedly returned the greeting.

After the juniors saluted each other, Du Mingyuan took Jiang Wu's arm affectionately: "Auntie, I haven't seen Wu'er for a few days, can I talk to her?"

"Go, you little sisters must have something to say." Tang smiled lovingly, and it was obvious that she liked Du Mingyuan very much.

Jiang Wu and Du Mingyuan went to the bedroom hand in hand, and Tang shi told Qiao's mother: "Prepare tea and send it, don't neglect sister Yuan."

"Yes, ma'am."

When Mother Qiao was preparing refreshments, Jiang Wu had already pulled Du Mingyuan to sit on the kang by the window.

Du Mingyuan pulled off the veil casually, with concern on her round face without makeup, she held Jiang Wu's hands and said, "Wu'er, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Jiang Wu smiled.

Du Mingyuan pinched her tender cheeks distressedly, "Look at your dark circles. I know that your family is having a hard time these days. Is there any news from uncle?"

Jiang Wu shook her head.

Du Mingyuan sighed.While talking, he took out a half-new and not-worn kit from his sleeve, loosened the belt, and dumped the contents on the table.Jiang Wu took a closer look, besides a few ingots of broken silver, there were also two small golden lockets and two silver ingots!
"It's time for your family to spend money." When Du Mingyuan was speaking, she turned her head and saw Tonghua, her personal servant, being dragged by Jiang Wu's maidservant Bingsong to talk in the yard through the crack of the window. He continued: "These are my bosoms, you put them away, maybe they will be useful. Don't let Tonghua see them, if she knows, she must go to my mother to complain."

"Yuan'er..." Jiang Wu was moved, and she held Du Mingyuan's hand instead, only to find that the pair of jade bracelets on her wrists were gone, she frowned and asked in surprise, "Where are your bracelets?"

Du Mingyuan's eyes dodged a little, "That thing is expensive, I'm afraid I'll bump it..."

"It's a relic of your biological mother. You never left your body before."

Du Mingyuan's biological mother died of illness less than a year after giving birth to her. Now there is a stepmother at home, and the stepmother gave birth to a son and daughter. Although she still has two older brothers to rely on, life is not easy after all, and Mrs. Du's family is just Just an ordinary wealthy family.

Looking at the silver ingots on the table, Jiang Wu understood: "Yuan'er, what about the pawn ticket?"

Du Mingyuan pursed her lips guiltily, and after a while she seemed to accept her fate, she couldn't fool Jiang Wu. "Wu'er, why are you so sensitive. Well, well, I won't lie to you. I did pawn the pair of bracelets. Although they are my mother's relics, but now your father is in prison, your family will collapse How can I stand by and watch? If that cold thing can really help save Uncle, it will be worth more than it is worth."

Jiang Wu lowered her long eyelashes, and the glittering glint in her eyes was covered.

Seeing her like this, Du Mingyuan was afraid that she would be sad, so she changed the subject: "I actually went to see Cheng'er just now, but Cheng'er didn't know what he had eaten these days, so he got drunk twice while talking, I see her It's inconvenient, so I told her not to move around so she can rest, and she also asked to bring you a well-being, and said that she would come to see you when she feels better."

Jiang Wu nodded knowingly.

Like Du Mingyuan, Ye Cheng was also their handkerchief.The Ye family has a deep foundation in the capital. Lord Ye has been a member of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Wailang.Xu Shi's family background is better, and Ye Cheng's heart is also higher. Compared with Du Mingyuan, he is more able to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Now that the Jiang family is in trouble, Ye Cheng is probably afraid that his mother's family will be involved, which is understandable.

Seeing that Jiang Wu was not angry, Du Mingyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "You said a few days ago that you were going to beg Huo Ying, that bastard again, is it going to happen now?"

Jiang Wu pondered for a moment before saying: "Huo Ying has taken my eldest sister as his concubine."

"What!!" Du Mingyuan stood up abruptly, hopping and cursing, "That bastard is simply insane and delusional!"

But after scolding, she sat down again. Now they are all alone, Huo Ying is in a high position and has the backing of British Duke Cai Jing, what can they do?
"Three girls."

Just at this time, Bingsong's slightly anxious voice came from outside the door: "Miss San, it's not good, Mr. Xue is here!"

"What is he here for?" Du Mingyuan's complexion also changed, "The apprentice, could it be that spreading rumors about you is not enough, and he wants to humiliate you!?"

Mr. Xue was the one who molested Jiang Wu, but was beaten by Jiang Wu.Jiang Wu has today's "fame", thanks to him.

Jiang Wu put on her veil and walked towards the main room for guests without saying a word.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he heard Mr. Xue talking to his second master Jiang Chenfeng from inside, with a very concerned tone: "Yunzhi, are things in your family clear?"

Rhyme is Jiang Chenfeng's epigraph.
