"Ruhua, don't force yourself."

Mrs. Song stopped Song Jiuli from helping to pick up the vegetables, "The most important thing is to find the one that suits you, isn't it?"

The pun made Jiang Ruhua's eyelashes tremble slightly, and she paused holding the chopsticks.

"Aunt Song, I still want to try."

Jiang Ruhua forced a smile, and everyone at the table fell silent.

It was Song Qing who spoke first, "Ruhua, you are not in good health. I have to take good care of you for your father."

"Sister Ruhua, try this white fungus soup, it's suitable for you."

Song Jiuchi handed Jiang Ruhua a cup with freshly stewed white fungus in it.

Jiang Ruhua then laughed sincerely, "Thank you Jiuchi for always thinking of me."

"You're welcome. It was Sister Wanwan who said it would be good for women to eat more Tremella fuciformis."

Song Jiuchi scratched his ears, and the joy that Jiang Ruhua had just aroused almost disappeared.

Especially when Song Jiuyuan asked her to live in another house, this sadness reached its peak.

"Ruhua, I have a house in another part of Fucheng. You can go live there for a while."

As if he didn't notice her displeasure, Song Jiuyuan gave Jiang Wan a reassuring expression and continued:

"The situation in Fucheng is a bit complicated now. I will send someone to protect you."

"Brother Yuan, I'm not afraid."

Jiang Ruhua said anxiously, "I can live with Li'er."

"Yes, brother, it's okay for sister Ruhua to live with me."

Song Jiuli didn't understand why her eldest brother did this, but Mrs. Song agreed.

"Yuan'er is right, safety is one aspect, and the other is that Yuan'er and Jiu Chi are not married yet.

It's bad for your reputation if you live here."

Song Qing opened his mouth to say something, but Mrs. Song glared at him, so he could only shut up.

"Aunt Song, it's okay."

Jiang Ruhua pursed her lips, "I used to live with Li'er."

"That's different."

Madam Song sighed, "You were still young at that time, but now you are of age to be married.

The reputation of the girl's family is the most important, and we cannot delay you."

"Aunt Song, actually I..."

Hearing this, Jiang Ruhua's cheeks turned pink. Just when she was about to say something, Song Qing across from him suddenly said in surprise.

"Oh, madam, you reminded me!"

Everyone looked at him in confusion, only to see Song Qing's eyes falling on Jiang Ruhua, and then looking at Song Jiuchi.

"Our family's Jiuchi has just reached the age of marriage proposal. Ruhua, what do you think of Jiuchi?"

Everyone:!!!

Not to mention that Song Jiuchi himself was confused, Jiang Wan was also confused by Song Qing.

If nothing else, Song Jiuchi and Qi Chu are happy enemies. Isn’t this... a bit of a mismatch!

Jiang Ruhua, who looked expectant at first, completely fell down, and she glanced at Song Jiuyuan cautiously.

Finding that he was unresponsive and still taking good care of Jiang Wan, Song Jiuchi stood up as quickly as his hair was exploding.

"Dad, you...why are you talking nonsense!"

Probably because he was afraid that Jiang Ruhua would be embarrassed by saying something too obvious, Song Jiuchi said speechlessly:

"Sister Ruhua doesn't like me like this!"

"Uncle Song, I...I am older than Jiu Chi."

Jiang Ruhua lowered her eyes and her cheeks were so pink that Song Qing mistakenly thought she was shy, so she said enthusiastically

"One year older is nothing, I..."

"Shut up, you."

Mrs. Song couldn't bear it anymore and glared at Song Qing angrily, then she said to Jiang Ruhua apologetically:

"Ruhua, your uncle is talking nonsense, don't take it to heart."

"Yes, yes, my father told you nonsense."

Song Jiuchi was sitting on pins and needles, the food in his mouth had no taste, and he wanted to leave the table immediately.

Jiang Ruhua also felt the same and said in a low voice: "It doesn't matter."

Seeing her aggrieved look, Jiang Wan doubted herself for a moment.

She didn't seem to be targeting her, but Song Jiuyuan's attitude towards dealing with his love rival made her quite satisfied.

"What's okay?"

Suddenly a hearty voice came over, and everyone looked up and saw a fiery figure.

This man, with handsome features and a smile on his face, walked into the restaurant.

"Cheng Jin!"

Song Jiuyuan stood up in surprise. Jiang Wan was also shocked. She had some impressions of this person.

He is Song Jiuyuan's good brother in the original book. He helped Song Jiuyuan a lot in the later period, but unfortunately he couldn't compete with the male protagonist, and he was quite miserable in the end.

"Why are you so surprised?"

Cheng Jin patted Song Jiuyuan's shoulder and raised his eyes to look at Jiang Ruhua.

"Ruhua, didn't you tell them that we came together?"

"I……"

Jiang Ruhua bit her lip apologetically, "I forgot, I'm sorry, brother Cheng Jin."

She was so excited to see Brother Yuan that she almost forgot about Brother Cheng Jin and went to do some personal things.

"You guys came together?"

Song Jiuyuan glanced at Jiang Ruhua, who was feeling guilty. Just as he was about to say something, Cheng Jin immediately said:

"Yes, but I went to do some personal things. Ruhua may have not seen you for a long time, so I forgot to tell you."

He doted on Jiang Ruhua, which was Jiang Wan's first feeling.

The second feeling was that he looked at her with a secretive look, and Song Jiuyuan introduced Jiang Wan to him.

"Cheng Jin, this is Jiang Wan, it's me..."

Song Jiuyuan paused for a few seconds, realized that the two of them had reconciled, and simply said to Jiang Wan:

"Cheng Jin, it was his idea when I made trouble when I was little."

Jiang Wan nodded slightly as a greeting.

"Song Jiuyuan, please don't accuse me wrongly!"

Cheng Jin jumped angrily, but Song Qing held Song Jiuyuan back.

"You kid, you finally saw Cheng Jin, what did you say?"

"Uncle Song!!!"

Only then did Cheng Jin notice Song Qing, his face full of surprise. After all, in the eyes of Kyoto people, Song Qing had been missing for a long time.

Jiang Ruhua said hurriedly: "It's Uncle Song. I was also surprised to see him, but I was more happy."

"Don't spread the news about my father back to Kyoto yet."

Song Jiuyuan looked serious. Cheng Jin and Jiang Ruhua would not mess around.

Mrs. Song asked the servants in the palace to add a pair of chopsticks. Whether intentionally or not, Cheng Jin sat on the other side of Song Jiuyuan.

"What were you talking about just now?"

Jiang Ruhua was afraid that Song Qing would mention her marriage to Song Qing again, so she immediately said:

"Brother Yuan said he would let me live in his other house in Fucheng."

"Where else can we live? Your yard is so big that it can't accommodate us?"

Cheng Jin glanced at Jiang Wan thoughtfully, and Jiang Wan was eating her food slowly.

She wasn't going to care about this matter, it had nothing to do with her in the first place.

"It gives her a bad reputation."

Song Jiuyuan frowned. He admitted that he had selfish motives and did not want Wanwan to misunderstand.

Cheng Jin grinned carelessly, "What's wrong? We are both a boy and an unmarried girl, so it doesn't matter if we look at each other."

"Sister Ruhua can live with me."

Song Jiuli expressed her opinion weakly and received Madam Song's warning look.

"Cheng Jin!"
