Becoming the sickly wife of a literary giant

60

Jiang Yuan forgot all the bold and daring things she did last night after getting drunk. She only remembered that she fell asleep while soaking in the bath. The pajamas she was wearing should have been given to her by Sister Ping, right?

She looked around and saw that she was the only one in the master bedroom. Her stomach was growling with hunger.

After going downstairs, she realized that it was late. Lu Shengrang and Lu Miao were not at home. She pressed her swollen temples and ate breakfast leisurely.

"Auntie! You just ate." Zhan Zhaoxi, who stayed overnight last night, yawned and came downstairs, talking about eating something to fill her stomach.

Jiang Yuan swallowed the food and smiled faintly, "It's late, has Zhaoxi eaten yet?"

Zhan Zhaoxi sat beside her happily, "No, hehe, I just got up too. What did you have for breakfast today?"

Sister Ping took out a set of bowls and chopsticks and asked in a friendly manner, "Miss Zhaoxi, do you want to eat anything?"

Zhan Zhaoxi is not picky about food and is not so particular about food. She smiled and thanked, "These on the table are good enough, thank you Aunt Ping~"

She ate absent-mindedly, with a struggle in her mind, wondering whether to ask about what her cousin Miaomiao said yesterday.

Seeing that she looked worried, Jiang Yuan asked, "Zhaoxi, what are you thinking about? Did you not sleep well last night?"

"No, I slept well." Zhan Zhaoxi smiled, moved the chair towards her, and asked out of curiosity, "Auntie, why did you marry my uncle?"

She should not ask about the wild man outside. My uncle is wise and powerful, and he can easily handle such a trivial matter.

She still wants to know more about the love history of my uncle and my uncle?

She was so curious about this that she asked her grandparents, her cousin Miaomiao, and Aunt Ping and Uncle Zhang... No one knew.

It can be said that except for my uncle and my uncle, no one else knew anything.

Jiang Yuan paused, "Why are you asking this?"

"Aunt, just tell me, I want to know." Zhan Zhaoxi didn't even eat breakfast, and hugged Jiang Yuan's arm and acted coquettishly.

Jiang Yuan was helpless: "What's there to be curious about? What else could it be? I needed to escape from the Jiang family at that time, and your uncle happened to show up, and then we were together."

This is true, tell the truth.

Zhan Zhaoxi, who was full of expectations, was silent:...

"Aunt, is it really that simple?"

This fact is very different from the romantic plot she expected, and it has nothing to do with it.

She doesn't believe it! Woohoo, this must be fake.

"Yes, this is the fact." Jiang Yuan smiled and nodded.

Zhan Zhaoxi was heartbroken, and mustered up the courage to ask: "Does my aunt like my uncle?"

Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and could clearly hear the amplitude of her heartbeat in her chest, thump thump, one after another, gradually surging to her throat.

This was the first time she faced this problem, and asked herself in her heart: Does she like Lu Shengrang?

Jiang Yuan thought a lot of things in a mess for a moment, but she didn't seem to know.

"Maybe she likes him." Lu Shengrang pulled the original owner out of the fire pit, so she should like him a little.

Zhan Zhaoxi seemed to see the dawn of hope, and said: "It's good that she likes him, I was scared to death. I thought my uncle was in love, hahahaha."

This time it was Jiang Yuan's turn to be surprised.

"Ah? You said your uncle is in love?"

"Are you talking about me?"

What a petty word.

Zhan Zhaoxi: "I have never seen a woman around my uncle. Auntie, who else could it be if not you? What's the matter, don't you believe it?"

"I don't believe it. Your uncle looks more like a man who has no feelings for others, and his face shows that he is pure and unselfish." Jiang Yuan whispered.

The eldest niece's eyesight is not very good. What she said scared her so much that her heart almost jumped out.

Zhan Zhaoxi: ... Three minutes of silence for her uncle. Auntie would rather believe that her uncle has no feelings for others than believe that he likes her.

Forget it, let her uncle figure out this trouble himself. Hahahaha, she is just waiting to see the show.

After the college entrance examination, Jiang Yuan was completely free again.

Every day, he picked up his cheap daughters from school, occasionally went to Lu Shengrang to deliver meals, and went back to the old house every now and then to accompany the old couple. His life was leisurely and happy.

In early winter, the cold came.

On this day, Jiang Yuan came back from the old house, and the long-silent Jiang family came to the door.

To be precise, Li Xiuxue had come a long time ago.

Sister Ping didn't like her and couldn't let her in. She said "Madam is not at home" and ignored her. She just waited outside in the cold wind for half an hour.

Jiang Yuan rolled down the car window and asked calmly, "What are you doing here?"

Although Li Xiuxue had put on exquisite makeup, she still couldn't hide the haggard look on her face.

She rubbed her frozen red hands stiffly, smiled and scolded, "Ayuan, what are you talking about? I'm your mother, can't I come to see you?"

This deliberately stiff kindness made Jiang Yuan feel uncomfortable.

"Brother Zhang, let's go." As he said that, he was about to roll up the car window.

She didn't have time to watch Li Xiuxue's performance.

Li Xiuxue was anxious and quickly reached out to block the car window, "Ayuan, Mom really wants to talk to you this time. It's too cold outside, can we go in and talk?"

Jiang Yuan felt stuffy in her chest, perhaps because of the remaining emotions of the original owner.

The original owner in the novel had very complicated feelings towards the Jiang family. There was love and hate. After experiencing so much neglect and abuse, she still secretly hoped that the parents would see her existence.

Jiang Yuan said softly: "Come in."
