Part 1: A Dream Within A Dream / Rebirth of Ill Fated Concubine

Chapter 108 Crazy

However, Shen Rou has always been at odds with Xia's second wife Yu Ya, and the relationship between the sisters-in-law is very bad. Naturally, she doesn't want Xia Jun to live a good life. Shen Rou thinks that it is better to let her own brother live a good life than to let Xia Jun live a good life. 

Shen Rou's natal family also has a nephew, who is now of the right age to marry Jiang Ruan. If it works out, it will be considered as keeping the wealth within the family.

Shen Rou still has a good plan, and her eyes looking at Jiang Ruan are a little fanatical. Tian Zhu frowned, and Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: "This is Mrs. Xia."

"That's right. Ruan'er, I didn't expect you to be so big in a blink of an eye." Shen Rou said warmly.

"Bold! You didn't even greet the princess!" Tian Zhu shouted with a cold face, which scared Shen Rou.

Jiang Ruan said gently: "It's okay. Mrs. Xia and I have met once. I think she was too excited just now and forgot about it. It's okay."

This answer made Shen Rou's face red and white, white and red. Everyone saw clearly what happened to Jiang Ruan in the ancestral hall. Now that the old matter is brought up again, it is the Xia family who are being slapped in the face.

Xia Yan was embarrassed, and Xia Jiaojiao was even more furious. However, she remembered her grandfather's instructions before leaving, and she endured it.

Xia Yan suddenly bent down, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and retched twice. Linlang came over and patted Xia Yan's back gently, saying, "Madam, are you feeling uncomfortable again?"

Xia Yan shook her head: "Maybe the room is too stuffy, and my chest is a little stuffy." She smiled: "Jiaojiao, sister-in-law, Ruan'er, why don't we go to the garden for a walk, the air outside is fresh."

Jiang Ruan looked out the window. It was a hot day with no clouds in the sky. She was not afraid of getting prickly heat if she went out at this time. However, she smiled and said, "Okay, it's just right. I also want to go to the garden for a walk."

Shen Rou and Xia Jiaojiao were guests, so they naturally wouldn't refuse. The three of them got up together and walked towards Xia Yan's garden. To be fair, although it was hot outside, Xia Yan was pregnant and didn't dare to use ice, so she had to do it in the yard. 

The yard was clean and tidy. Every half an hour, someone would sprinkle the cold water from the well on the stone slabs. With the shade of the trees, it was cool. It was indeed more ventilated than the house.

As they walked, they came to the pavilion next to the small pond in the yard. The pavilion was Xia Yan's most proud work. Xia Yan was once known as a talented woman in Capital. After entering the Jiang Mansion, she built the yard by herself. The pavilion was next to the small pond, taking the summer "lotus pond moonlight" scene. 

The cool breeze in the summer night, the green lotus leaves in the pond, the beautiful lotus, the moonlight like water, the scenery is extremely elegant. When the pavilion was repaired, Jiang Quan liked it very much. He and Xia Yan often had a drink in the pavilion at night, and they were really a loving couple.

Jiang Ruan sneered silently in her heart. This place was where Jiang Quan and Xia Yan were affectionate, but it was also the place where Zhao Mei was sad. 

When Jiang Xinzhi was young, he had smallpox. Zhao Mei stayed with Jiang Xinzhi for several days and nights without taking off her clothes. After Jiang Xinzhi woke up, he asked where his father was. Zhao Mei felt sad, but she found Jiang Quan drinking and having fun with Xia Yan. 

At that time, she was still a child who knew nothing. She just watched Jiang Quan and Xia Yan laughing happily, and she felt more and more that her mother's tears were dazzling. Jiang Ruan looked at the pavilion, smiled slightly, and said: "The lotus leaf skirt is cut in the same colour, and the hibiscus blooms on both sides of the face."
