In the study room, there is a rosewood marble table with various dharma stickers from famous people and dozens of inkstones. On the other side is a large Ru kiln flower pouch with a bag full of crystal balls and white plums.

In the middle of the west wall hangs a large-scale painting of Xiangyang's "Smoke and Rain", and on the left and right hangs a couplet, written in Yan Lugong's ink, with the following words: "The bones are leisurely in the mist, and the life is in the spring and stone fields."

Shao Ziqing walked towards the corner of the west wall. There was a secret door on the rosewood bookshelf. He raised his hand and opened it carefully.

His eyes looked into the dark room. His cold eyes in the past were replaced by a gentleness that no one else had seen at this moment.

What is there in there that can make Shao Ziqing like this?

No one knows what is inside. His study has always been a forbidden area in the east courtyard, and no one can enter or exit without permission.

…

At the same time, Jiang Zuiyao's residence also changed. In just one afternoon, a lot of exquisite furniture was added to her bedroom. Originally there was only one maid, Linghui, but three or four people were added to serve her. She had never seen dinner.

of chicken, duck and fish.

All of this is of course arranged by Shaojiang.

But all this does not mean that Jiang Zuiyao's hardships have finally come to an end.

After putting Shao Heng to sleep, Jiang Zuiyao also lay down. After a while, Shao Heng on the soft couch murmured: "Aunt, I can't sleep."

It was pitch dark in the room after the wax was turned off. Jiang Zuiyao asked in the dark, "What's wrong?"

"I'm afraid of the dark. My mother used to hold me to sleep."

Jiang Zuiyao got off the bed. It was a little difficult for her to pick up Shao Heng because she was so thin. She hugged him and got on the bed together. She hugged Shao Heng gently and said, "Auntie, sleep with you, okay?"

Shao Heng put his arm around Jiang Zuiyao's neck and said, "Okay."

But she couldn't sleep, and the ferocious scene of Shao Ziqing taking her life during the day flashed through her mind over and over again.

Why would the original owner be moved by such a terrifying man?

I carefully recalled the memory of the original owner. When I was thirteen years old, during a temple fair, it was raining lightly, and the original owner's umbrella was blown down by a gust of wind. It was Shao Ziqing who picked it up and handed it to her.

"Girl, the rain is strong and the wind is strong. It will be bad if you get caught in the rain and get cold."

That was the first chance encounter between the original owner and Shao Ziqing. At that time, Shao Ziqing was young and had a gentle and elegant face, completely different from the devilish face he has today.

At that time, there was a girl standing next to him. She was dressed in plain clothes, but her outstanding beauty could not be concealed. The strong wind blew, and Shao Ziqing put the cloak on the girl. The two looked at each other and smiled, full of sweetness.

It was also that meeting that made the original owner, who had never left the door and had never had an affair with any man, fall in love. She saw that Shao Ziqing was so kind to the maids around her, and was so warm and considerate, which made the original owner

love at first sight.

Since then, the original owner thought about Shao Ziqing day and night as if he was possessed by a demon.

It's just that the original owner never expected that in just a few years, he would completely change and he would no longer be the gentle and elegant young man before.

What Jiang Zuiyao doesn't understand is why the gentle and elegant young man back then turned into the vicious demon he is today. And that maid has not been seen since she married into the Shao family. Where did she go?

Jiang Zuiyao tried hard to recall, but couldn't find any traces.

Why? Why do people seem to have changed in just a few years? What happened during this period?

…

One night passed, Jiang Zuiyao gave Shao Heng an intravenous drip, and Mrs. Feng came during lunch. Seeing that her son's face improved, she thanked him for a moment.

Mrs. Feng took a look at Jiang Zuiyao's lunch, which was full of meat and vegetables, and said: "I have heard a little bit about the days in the east courtyard. Yesterday, when the master came back, I told him the truth. If the master speaks, Nanny Li will not dare to treat her harshly.

is you."

Jiang Zuiyao smiled slowly: "I knew why the master suddenly came to the east courtyard yesterday. It turned out to be you."

"I had already guessed that the eldest young master would not give up. It is only because he came back in time, otherwise I would have been helpless." Feng Shi hugged Shao Heng and replied, thought for a while, and then said: "Logically speaking, you are the only one who can do it."

She is the master of the East Courtyard, and you cannot let Grandma Li control the affairs of the East Courtyard all the time."

Jiang Zuiyao shook her head indifferently, said nothing, just sat there and smiled bitterly.

Feng frowned slightly: "Don't be stupid, Grandma Li is a difficult person to fight, otherwise I'm afraid you will really have no place in the Shao family."

Jiang Zuiyao sneered in her heart. When had she ever cared about the Shao family? She wished she could leave here and leave that devil.

Putting aside these troubling matters, Jiang Zuiyao asked: "Do you know which medical clinic in Kyoto is the most famous?"

Suddenly mentioning this, Feng asked: "Why do you ask this?"

"I want to take a look." This was also Jiang Zuiyao's impromptu idea. If he wanted to live a casual life in this ancient time, he couldn't just have superb medical skills. He had to just take a look.

It was the right thing to ask Mr. Feng about this matter. Shaoheng had visited all the medical clinics in Kyoto in the past few years. Mr. Feng naturally knew it and replied: "If you want to say that the most famous one in Kyoto is Nanxian Hall,

.”

Jiang Zuiyao asked: "Nanxian Hall? The name doesn't sound like a medical center."

Feng explained: "Because the name of the doctor who treats patients in the medical clinic has the word Nanxian in it. He has only been open in Kyoto for more than a year, and he has become famous for his superb medical skills."

"Then why not invite him to treat Shao Heng?"

"The young lady doesn't know something. This doctor is not everyone's favorite. I also sent someone to invite him, but for some reason, the doctor just refused to come."

"Is he very skilled in medicine?"

"Difficult and complicated diseases are just minor illnesses at his place. I heard someone say that someone who had been suffering from a serious illness for more than 20 years was cured after taking medicine from him for a month."

This made Jiang Zuiyao curious. She really wanted to see what this ancient famous doctor was capable of, so she said, "Then I'm going to have a look."

Feng nodded: "It's okay to go for a walk, but it snowed yesterday, so you need to wear more clothes. I'll take care of Heng'er first, and I'll leave when you come back."

Jiang Zuiyao changed her clothes. Although she didn't have gold silk satin, she still had a clean and tidy satin skirt. She fastened a hairpin casually and went out.

Walking in the lively crowd, people started pointing and talking.

"Eh? Isn't this the legitimate daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance? But I haven't seen her go out for a while. I heard that she married into the Shao Mansion, right?"

"Hey, why is this man so thin? His face is so ugly. Why are there so many bruises and bruises on his neck?"

"This unruly woman has had affairs with many men in the past. Looking at the red handprints on her neck, I'm afraid the Shao family won't treat her well either."

"Ha, you deserve it! If the Shao family and the Jiang family hadn't done it for the sake of face, how could an unruly woman like her enter the Shao family?"

"I don't think the young master of the Shao family is a good person. He married her because he was frivolous."

"Yes, I have the nerve to go out. If I don't have the nerve to go out, I'll find a well and jump in to die!"
