Everyone said that Jiang Yan was the most obedient bird Mrs. Xu raised.
On the seventh day of every month, he will board the gilded carriage;
Clothes for all four seasons are all made by the tailors of Xu Mansion;
Even the salary from the Hanlin Academy was returned to the accounting office of Xu Mansion intact.
Shen Qingci also believed this rumor.
Until one snowy night, she bumped into him kneeling in the ancestral hall——
His back was straight, and he let the family whip fall, but he gritted his teeth and refused to bend even an inch.
Mrs. Xu's voice sounded loud and clear in the quiet night: "Who can give you love and a future other than me? I don't know what's good or bad!"
"What does Mr. Jiang do when he goes to Xu Mansion on the seventh day of every lunar month?"
She finally asked the words that had been lingering in her heart day and night.
He was silent for a long time and took out three things from his arms:
A stack of debt deeds, a piece of paper as a check, and a blood-stained wooden hairpin.
"Repay the debt." He said with the same gentle smile as always, "And... Save the dowry for your marriage."
