An Ruochen said: "Since you endured the humiliation and came here, you must have something to say to me seriously. But you are so stupid, yelling and cursing at every turn, do you think this is still Anfu? Get out of here. Tap the table again and get out of here. I don’t care if you have a solution, or if you’re desperate.”

An Ruoxi froze, and suddenly became wilted. She sat down and bowed her head.

An Ruochen didn't care about her, and took tea by herself.

After a while, An Ruoxi said in a low voice: "I just can't bear to be wronged, that's why I didn't control my temper. The third sister did it on purpose, she should know that I wouldn't do that kind of thing, what I feed is water, She said that to me on purpose."

An Ruochen didn't answer and ignored her.

An Ruoxi said again: "Sister, I don't want to marry Master Qian."

"Is it your turn next?"

"Probably."

"Is this also a ploy to talk to me?"

"I hope so, but unfortunately not all. I eavesdropped on my mother talking to Ronggui. Qian Pei hated you to the bone. The fourth sister is gone, and you ran away. His face was damaged, and he was very unwilling. He deliberately It made Daddy and Ronggui look bad. He also forced Daddy to write a certificate, suing the general and the prefect for being unkind officials and robbing civilian girls. The master kept the money for himself, and he didn’t know when he would use it. Daddy was a little worried, thinking that This is being taken advantage of by Mr. Qian. The people sued the officials, and they also sued the general and the prefect. How could this be a good deal. Mr. Qian still does not give up on you and wants to find a chance to arrest you. My mother and I said, discussing marriage is just a show, so that you can sympathize with me, but I heard that she was discussing with Ronggui, which is a step to please Master Qian and show his loyalty to him. If Master Qian agrees, I I really have to marry." An Ruoxi raised her head when she said this, "Sister, I really have nowhere to go, please help me."

An Ruochen asked calmly: "Let me help you, what will you exchange for it?"

An Ruoxi was stunned for a while, she had been confiding in her heart for a long time, and told her everything, but in exchange for such a cold sentence? An Ruoxi couldn't hold back again, and choked back: "The fourth younger sister, what did you exchange for it? Her life?"

An Ruochen's face darkened, the fourth sister was the pain in her heart, and An Ruoxi was stupid enough to stab her fiercely.

Seeing her complexion, An Ruoxi bit her lip and moved awkwardly, "That's not what I meant."

An Ruochen didn't speak.

An Ruoxi swallowed her saliva, and asked in a low voice, "Is there still no news from Fourth Sister?"

An Ruochen asked back: "If I find Simei, are you impatient to claim credit from Dad and Qian Pei, and find a way to bring Simei back home, and send her to Qian Pei's place after changing hands?"

An Ruoxi almost jumped up again: "Am I that bad? Do I want to harm Fourth Sister just because you love her? We are sisters! Although we are not usually close, we have no grudges." Resentment, I can chat a few words when I have free time. I helped you choose clothes and gave you rouge and gouache. Are you close to the fourth sister? Would I harm her! It’s not my marriage to her. I know she was promised I gave it to Master Qian, I felt sorry for her, took her to play and bought food for her, thinking that at least she was happy before she got married. I also made up my mind that she would have a hard time when she got married, and I would visit her often She, help her secretly. I am not as good as you. You encouraged her to escape. She is only twelve years old. What would she do? She can't tell the difference between east, west, north, south, and east. It was you who killed her, and you made her life and death unknown. Can you sleep peacefully at night? Why do you discredit me?"

"Then why are you looking for me now? Are you looking for me to hurt you? Well, I must never hurt you, or you won't sleep well at night. You can marry Qian Pei with peace of mind, and I will visit you often You, if your life is not easy after you get married, how about I help you secretly?"

"I...you..." An Ruoxi was at a loss for words, she knew she had made a slip of the tongue, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

"You're not bad, you're kind and soft-hearted, but I'm not sure. If I dare to run away from home and fight An Zhifu and Qian Pei, I will deal with you too."

"I...I didn't mean that." An Ruoxi forced out this sentence.

An Ruochen stood up suddenly, and stared at her condescendingly: "Pretend to be a good person in front of me, are you a fool? Have you forgotten that we were born by the same father? Have you forgotten how many dirty things happened at home Have you forgotten how many ugly faces I have seen since I was a child? There are no good people in the An family, and all the good people are dead. "

An Ruoxi was dumbfounded.

An Ruochen looked at his younger sister with cold eyes. "Father often calls my mother a bitch, can't bear a son, and cries all day long, which will only drag him down. But what did my mother do wrong? She and my grandfather mistakenly believed him, and my father used my grandfather as the master of the Dechang County Yamen. The relationship got to the county magistrate, and he robbed the business with local merchants. For this, he courted my mother and pretended to be an honest man in front of my grandfather. After marrying my mother, he came back and made a business in Dechang County. My grandfather died of illness, and the business in Dechang County couldn't squeeze out any more money. He immediately changed his face and married your mother. Then the third aunt, the fourth aunt, and the fifth aunt. Tell yourself which aunt is more fuel-efficient Can you live in Anjia, kind? Are you joking?"

An Ruoxi froze there, completely speechless.

"You asked me to help you, are you surprised when I ask you for benefits? Are you angry? I was surprised and angry once, so what? Do you remember how many times Daddy called me a bitch? He called me a heart Vicious little bitch." An Ruochen stared at An Ruoxi, "Now let me tell you personally, my own sister, in fact, I really, don't mind at all, being as vicious and suspicious as he said." Bitch'."

An Ruoxi stared at her sister, staring, tears streaming down her face. She began to cry bitterly: "We are daughters, in his eyes, they are all bargaining chips for profit. I don't want to marry Qian Pei, sister, I really don't want to, I'm very scared. My mother lied to me, she lied to me, she She is devoted to her father, and in her heart, I am just a bargaining chip for profit. I am very scared."

An Ruochen stared at her, then slowly sat back in her seat, keeping silent and letting her cry.

An Ruoxi wiped her tears and said: "I know, you will definitely be suspicious of me when I come, but I really don't know who else I can turn to for help. You have the ability, you escaped, and you are still in Ziyun Building Have a good life. You must have a way to help me, please help me. Please, sister."

"What do you want me to help you with?" An Ruochen finally asked after a long while.

"I..." An Ruoxi sobbed, "I want to marry a good family and go to another county. What happened to my family, Zhonglan City, no, there is no decent family in Pingnan County who dares to marry An Zhifu's daughter .”

An Ruochen didn't say anything, and didn't say that in fact, a long time ago, no serious and good family would be willing to marry An's family like this.

"And I've thought about it. Daddy picks his in-laws and only thinks about the benefits. Even if I escape Master Qian this time, there will be other masters next time. Besides, you're still in the city, and Master Qian doesn't give up on you. Parents will force me to continue entanglement with you. For this, Master Qian will not let me go. In Zhonglan City, I can't see any hope for the future. Sister, you have the support of the general, and now you are in the city. If you can talk, you can help me talk about a good marriage in another county, and help me beg the general. If the general is suppressing you, daddy dare not disagree. I am married far away, and I will leave this ghost place from now on These right and wrong grievances, you don't have to worry about me murdering you, do you?"

An Ruochen didn't speak, neither agreed nor refused.

An Ruoxi bit her lip, feeling that there was hope in the matter, and hurriedly said: "If you help me, I will naturally repay you. I will inquire about the news from my parents and Master Qian's plan for you They asked me to meet and contact you, so as to confuse you, and this just gave me a chance to report the letter in a straightforward manner. I will be much more useful than Mrs. Lu." She paused, and said: "Yes, I didn’t say anything just now, Master Qian asked Dad to write a certificate of identification, saying that he would find an opportunity to sue Beijing in the future. Sue the prefect and General Long. You should warn the general, don’t leave any trouble. Also, The fourth aunt is a little crazy, she always scolds you, saying that you killed the fourth sister, and she wants to pay for your life. Points are always good."

She finished speaking in one breath, and looked at An Ruochen hopefully.

An Ruochen asked: "What else?"

An Ruoxi hurriedly said: "I've found out what else there will be in the future, and I will definitely come back and tell my sister."

An Ruochen said: "What's wrong with Daddy's jade business?"

"what?"

"When the prefect ordered the closure of customs and trade, daddy's goods hadn't been received yet. There were merchants from other counties who came to the house to make trouble, remember?"

An Ruoxi remembered that after the goods were received, the fourth sister's marriage was finalized. "Master Qian helped."

"I know that. But there must be something dirty. I want to know what they did."

An Ruoxi became nervous: "Daddy won't tell me about business matters."

"But I will talk to Ronggui. Isn't Ronggui also helping the jade shop? If you find out for me, I will help you find a good marriage in another county."

An Ruoxi gritted her teeth: "You want to take revenge on your father and ruin the An family?"

An Ruochen smiled and said: "Oh, yes, I forgot that you are kind and soft-hearted. Since you can't do this, then forget it. You can go back and answer, and then say that the things have been delivered, and I will accept them, and then I kicked you out, and I won't see you again in the future."

An Ruochen stood up as he spoke, as if preparing to see off the guests. An Ruoxi also stood up in a panic, grabbed An Ruochen's sleeve and said, "Okay, I promise you. I have news, and I will tell you."

An Ruochen looked at his younger sister's hand holding his sleeve, then raised his eyes to look at his younger sister's face, and said, "If there is news about Simei at home or at Qian Pei's side, you have to report it to me immediately, regardless of life or death." .”

"Okay." An Ruoxi agreed.

An Ruoxi's mind was still a little messed up when she got out of the Ziyun Tower, and she couldn't tell whether she had succeeded or failed this trip. When the sedan chair was halfway, the eldest girl Mei Xiang who was accompanying her suddenly said, "Miss, someone is blocking the sedan chair."

An Ruoxi heard someone outside the sedan chair say: "Miss An Er, my master is here to invite you."

Mei Xiang asked, "Who is your master?"

"Master Qian Peiqian."

An Ruoxi's heart sank.

Qian Pei's carriage was parked in an alley beside the road, and An Ruoxi went up alone.

As soon as he got in the car, he saw Qian Pei's smile. "Second girl is good." He said.

"Master Qian." An Ruoxi greeted calmly.

"Where does the second girl come from?"

Ask knowingly.
