Jiang Ran had been confined in the inner house for many days to recuperate, and she had finally gained some weight. Her diet and daily life were closely watched by Chu Ge. She couldn’t even find a chance to say a few words to the system. This auxiliary system was like a mistress, communicating with Jiang Ran secretly.

　　What it said most these days was: “Your husband is here, I will hide for a while, and I will come to find you after he leaves~”

　　”…” Jiang Ran: “???”

　　No, why does this sound so wrong?

　　”I’m a serious tasker!”

　　System: “I am also a legitimate system!”

　　Jiang Ran: “Then according to the control variable method, since both of us are normal, but you can’t coexist with Chu Ge, that means Chu Ge probably has a problem? Didn’t I ask you what’s wrong before? You didn’t explain it clearly at the time.”

　　The system blinked its nonexistent eyes and said helplessly: “Then host, just treat me as a cheating device! Cheating devices cannot be seen in the light!”

　　”…” Jiang Ran: “???”

　　Did she go from being a bad girl caught cheating to a bad student using a cheating device? She couldn’t listen to the system!

　　Because she had been delayed for many days, when Jiang Ran stepped out of the house again and wandered outside, she met Jiang Fangyang as expected, or rather, the other party had a grudge against her.

　　Jiang Ran bowed politely out of habit, but she didn’t plan to say anything and just walked away.

　　She didn’t need him much anymore.

　　Jiang Fangyang habitually used his sword to stop people. Although the sword was not unsheathed, it was somewhat rude to stop people like this.

　　It was the first time that Jiang Ran was stopped by someone with a sword. Even though the person had no ill intentions, this kind of feeling was quite fresh. She stepped aside and said, “Mr. Jiang?”

　　Jiang Fangyang looked apologetic: “I have booked a private room, and I have something to say to Lady Jiang. Just now… I was rude.”

　　Jiang Ran raised her eyebrows, her words were full of rejection: “Young Master, you don’t have to be too grateful for my help. Even without me, you can still achieve something.”

　　After saying this, seeing that his face was still not good, she wanted to avoid suspicion and left.

　　She hasn’t come out for many days. Who knows if the situation has changed? Who knows what the light of righteousness that claims to make everything go smoothly in the original text will do?

　　Jiang Fangyang felt very sad when he saw that she was still leaving. Ever since her sudden heart attack, he had been suffering from insomnia almost every night, and his head was aching and confused, so much so that the rude action he had just made annoyed her.

　　”Sister Jiang…how are you doing these days? I haven’t come to visit you because I can’t find a reason, so I can only wait in front of your house.”

　　Jiang Ran saw that the topic was not right, and some passers-by were already observing them. It was because they were dressed exquisitely and looked outstanding, and standing on the street looking at each other was a bit ambiguous, and the prying eyes kept coming, which made her feel uncomfortable.

　　”Sir, what do you want to talk to me about? Let’s go upstairs and talk!”

　　Jiang Fangyang invited her into the teahouse as he wished. This teahouse was not the one they used to go to, but the one closest to the Jiang Mansion. Chu Ge knew it almost as soon as the two of them entered.

　　Jiang Fangyang was a dangerous person in Chu Ge’s eyes. He had climbed onto the roof of the wife’s courtyard and sent love letters to the mansion. Even ordinary invitations should not be in that color, which added ambiguity. How could he not know about such obscure things? Or did he knowingly commit the crime?

　　As a man himself, he understood this kind of mentality, and it was undoubtedly what his wife was secretly hinting at.

　　But the silly wife didn’t understand the men’s thoughts at all, and actually tried to get something from the tiger.

　　Both the wife and the husband think that the other is naive, especially Chu Ge, who has more convincing reasons. The wife usually stays at home, so how could she have seen any bloody conspiracy or treacherous and vicious people?

　　No!

　　The wife is a genuine naive and innocent person, the type who doesn’t want sweetness or money.

　　When other wives meet the male, their husbands would probably worry about having an affair, but only Chu Ge was worried that she would be deceived.

　　In the teahouse box, Jiang Ran and Jiang Fangyang sat on either side as usual, keeping a polite distance from each other.

　　Jiang Fangyang: “I used to like swords and horses, seeking the truth and talking about tea, but I am a child of an aristocratic family after all, and I am not as free as those young men in the villa. Do you believe it? It is not a big deal for them to have private exchanges with the female monarch they like. If such a thing happened among the children of aristocratic families, it would be a scandal that could ruin their lives.”

　　Jiang Ran sipped her tea in silence as usual, not knowing why he suddenly brought up this.

　　”Children of aristocratic families are indeed more strictly disciplined. After all, the family is huge and one move can affect the entire body. If a child of a family has a flawed moral character, there will inevitably be some impact.”

　　Jiang Fangyang: “I used to look down on people who acted like that, but now I am a little confused. I can’t even tell whether it is better to follow the will of my parents or the matchmaker or to follow my own will.”

　　Jiang Ran guessed that he was probably being urged to get married. It seemed that there were people urging him to get married everywhere, leaving such a young man at a loss.

　　”What do you mean by parents’ orders and matchmaker’s words? Many men have few ways to meet the right woman. Besides, no one wants to fall into the lower social class if they are not well-matched. They don’t want them to help the poor if they raise a child well, right? You also know how big the gap is in wealth between the children of wealthy families and those of poor families nowadays!”

　　This is a feudal society, an imperial system. Even in modern society, where there are so many opportunities to meet people of the same age, it is still difficult to avoid blind dates…

　　She really couldn’t help with this kind of thing and could only simply comfort him.

　　Jiang Fangyang: “Does Sister Jiang care about the family background?”

　　Jiang Ran: “I value people more, and the other things are just icing on the cake. You don’t have to worry. I can help you keep an eye on things in secret.”

　　Jiang Fangyang sneered. Hearing her say that, he seemed only slightly embarrassed. No one knew that the bitter emotions in his heart were rolling uncontrollably.

　　”Would you like to have a look? No need…”

　　Jiang Ran tried hard to recall the plot of the original book. It seemed that the book did not mention Jiang Fangyang’s marriage, and it was mainly about things in the martial arts world. “Marriage is still a big deal, so we should be more cautious.”

　　Jiang Fangyang: “How did Sister Jiang treat the arranged marriage?”

　　Jiang Ran couldn’t say that she was a direct transmigration, so she just smiled and said, “I am not feeling well, so I dare not be too picky. Whoever marries here is a blessing to me.”

　　Jiang Fangyang lowered his eyebrows. How could he not hear the politeness and perfunctory meaning in these words? This person really didn’t care about him at all.

　　”Sister Jiang, you are too modest. Thank you for taking care of me before. I brought this to you.”

　　Jiang Ran saw him take out a rolled-up piece of paper from his sleeve, unfold it and spread it flat on the table.

　　It records Chu Ge’s life experience and the reason why he married into the Jiang family.

　　Jiang Ran’s mother, Jiang Feng, was an inspector. One could imagine how many dirty things she would know about with such an official position. It was rumored that the inspector had a special notebook to record their mistakes. The things Chu Ge wanted to check should also be recorded…

　　But he didn’t move.

　　Jiang Ran also couldn’t communicate with the original owner’s mother often, and they rarely met, because she was worried about being recognized.

　　Both the wife and husband seemed to be trying to avoid this matter, but Jiang Fangyang picked it out without hesitation.

　　Jiang Ran had an inexplicable look on her face, and it was hard to tell what she was really feeling. “Jiang has some friendship with you, and I just hope this matter ends here. As for what happens next, I will find a way to deal with it.”

　　Jiang Fangyang revealed the purpose of his visit and said sincerely: “I can continue to help. No matter whether it was Chu Ge who used you or Sister Jiang who did it by accident, I am willing to help to the end.”

　　Jiang Ran no longer needed him, so naturally she would not let him intervene again: “No need, since it is Chu Ge’s business, let him do the rest!”

　　Jiang Fangyang couldn’t figure out what she meant, but he didn’t want to ask her in detail or it would make him look anxious, so he could only drink some tea to suppress the uneasiness in his heart.

　　”Sister Jiang…are you tired of me?”

　　Jiang Ran thought: I have never liked to talk about anything annoying.

　　”No way, Jiang can’t afford it.”

　　Jiang Fangyang said aggrievedly: “Sister Jiang doesn’t trust me? Otherwise, why don’t you let me help?”

　　Jiang Ran seemed to be possessed by a scumbag, and was eager to leave: “This matter has nothing to do with you, and it would be more satisfying to take revenge with your own hands. Just take care of your own business.”

　　Jiang Fangyang found that he could not find any way to get close to Jiang Ran. It seemed that their relationship was about to break up. He should not have been so anxious to question this matter.

　　He regretted it.

　　Now, no matter what happens, she should… never look for him again.
