Chapter 16: No Cloud Left Behind

"Miss Jiang, don't be in a hurry to refuse. Mr. Guo said that he doesn't mind you bringing a burden with you. Mrs. Guo is a kind and generous person, so you don't have to worry."

"Mr. Guo's family is big and powerful. If you enter the mansion, you will wear gold and silver and enjoy endless wealth and splendor. You should think about it carefully."

After saying this, matchmaker Wang stared at Jiang Shuyue, observing her expression.

She, matchmaker Wang, has been a matchmaker for many years. With her eloquent tongue, she has helped many bad relationships.

Jiang Shuyue didn't want to cause trouble for the Su family, so she suppressed her anger.

She said calmly: "Thank you for your kindness, Aunt Wang. My husband's family is a military family. My brother-in-law has also been appreciated by the emperor and has been appointed as a deputy lieutenant. My mother-in-law learned that I gave birth to a boy for her son who died on the battlefield. She will take me back to the capital soon."

After hearing Jiang Shuyue's words, matchmaker Wang's face changed.

Matchmaker Wang took a long time to react, and stammered: "This... This, this is good news, congratulations, young lady."

There are so many famous families in the capital, how could a small town official dare to force a deputy lieutenant's sister-in-law to marry him? Today, he has hit a wall.

Matchmaker Wang laughed dryly and said goodbye.

"Ouch!"

Matchmaker Wang almost fell flat on her face as soon as she turned around.

"Auntie Wang, wait."

Watching Matchmaker Wang leave in a panic, Su Nan covered her stomach and laughed until she bent over.

Just now, Matchmaker Wang was only talking to Jiang Shuyue, and Su Nan moved the bench behind her with her foot.

Su Nan was sure that she would bump into the bench when she turned around.

Aunt Su sent Matchmaker Wang away and patted her chest in fear.

"Yue'er, you don't know that Mr. Guo in the town is a piece of shit. He relies on his family's money to bully men and women and do all kinds of evil. As long as he likes a girl, he will find a way to take her back."

"Don't worry, aunt, he is the kind of person who bullies the weak and fears the strong. I deliberately said that today to scare him."

"Sister, don't go to the market in the town in the future."

Jiang Shuyue rubbed Su Nan's head: "Okay, sister listens to you. From today on, sister will not leave the house."

Jiang Shuyue returned to the old house, and Qiuju and Su Hui hurriedly greeted her.

"Sister."

"Miss."

"It's okay. Matchmaker Wang said a disgusting marriage, and I refused."

Jiang Shuyue said it lightly, but her heart was not calm.

Mr. Guo relied on his money, and his reputation for arrogance and lust was obvious to all in the surrounding area.

Since it was the trouble caused by too much money, then I will make him penniless.

At night, the silver moonlight shines into the house through the window lattice, as if a layer of white gauze is hung on the window.

Jiang Shuyue slowly opened her eyes, and Qiuju in the next room had already fallen asleep.

Suisui's little hand pulled her underwear and made an even breathing sound. Suisui, who was sleeping soundly, seemed to be afraid that her mother would abandon her.

Jiang Shuyue moved her mind, and the mother and son disappeared from the spot and entered the space.

After settling Suisui, Jiang Shuyue opened the wardrobe in the space. There was no black nightgown, so she simply found a white dress to change into.

A hairband gently gathered her black hair behind her head, and she left the space, tiptoed to open the door and came to the firewood house. With a wave of her hand, she put the long bamboo ladder into the space.

She walked out of the yard and into the bamboo forest. Under the moonlight, the bamboo shadows danced, and the crickets chirped in the grass on the roadside.

Walking along the ridge outside the village, a night breeze blew, bringing a hint of coolness, driving away the remaining heat of the daytime.

In the rice fields, the sound of frogs singing came from time to time.

Jiang Shuyue took a deep breath.

The air was fresh and fragrant, intoxicating.

After leaving the village and getting on the road, Jiang Shuyue moved her mind, and a horse appeared on the road.

"Good horse, it is said that soldiers are raised for a thousand days and deployed for a moment. You have been eating and drinking well in my space for almost two years. Don't throw me off your back later."

Jiang Shuyue gently stroked the horse's head, as if whispering to it.

The horse squatted slightly as if it had a spirit.

Jiang Shuyue grabbed the saddle and climbed onto the horse's back, grabbed the reins and said to the horse: "Go slowly, let me adapt for a while."

The horse snorted and walked forward slowly.

Jiang Shuyue rode a horse for the first time, so she didn't dare to be careless. She grabbed the reins with one hand and the saddle with the other.

After walking two miles, she slowly found the feeling of riding a horse.

The horse was faster than the mule cart, and Jiang Shuyue arrived in the town in a cup of tea.

The house of Mr. Guo was not far from the archway at the entrance to the town.

The house of the Guo family was the largest and most luxurious among all the rich families in the town.

Jiang Shuyue got off the horse and rubbed her buttocks that were a little painful.

With a thought, the horse disappeared.

On the ground, the beautiful figure was elongated by the cold moonlight, and a few dog barks came from the distance.

Jiang Shuyue looked at the plaque in front of the tall gatehouse, Guo Mansion, two large gold-plated characters shining in the moonlight.

Jiang Shuyue stood in front of the door for a moment, and then quickly walked behind the wall.

When she came to the wall, she thought, and a bamboo ladder appeared in front of her.

After installing the bamboo ladder, Jiang Shuyue lifted her skirt and climbed up. The movement was not too neat, but not unfamiliar.

She and Su Nan and Su Jin often went to the back mountain to collect herbs and mushrooms, and their physical strength was much better than before.

Climbing up the wall, looking around, this is the back garden of Guo's mansion, the night wind blows, and the fragrance of flowers fills the nose.

The shadowy shadows of the trees swayed in the night wind, like ghosts.

Under the moonlight, the pavilions and towers were in full view.

Seeing that there was no one around, she stood on the wall and put the bamboo ladder into the wall.

After entering the Guo Mansion, Jiang Shuyue took the bamboo ladder back into the space with a thought.

Under the rockery, the water gurgled.

Under the eaves, several octagonal lamps swayed in the night wind, flickering, and the shadows on the ground swayed with them.

Jiang Shuyue walked towards the main house in the east as if she had entered an empty space.

After entering the east courtyard, Jiang Shuyue walked lightly and saw that a room next to the main house was still lit.

She walked over gently and saw a maid on duty lying on the table and sleeping.

Jiang Shuyue looked around and saw a big copper lock hanging on a door on the other side of the main house.

She walked over and a hairpin appeared in her palm with a thought.

After turning the lock core, the big lock opened with a "click" after a while.

"Who?"

Jiang Shuyue flashed into the space.

The maid on duty in the room heard the sound and came out of the room.

The maid rubbed her eyes and looked into the yard. Seeing that there was no one in the yard, she yawned and turned to go back to sleep.

A moment later, Jiang Shuyue appeared at the door again.

She gently took off the copper lock, hung it on the door, pushed the door open and walked in.

A soft "creak" sounded, and Jiang Shuyue closed the door again.

She took out the fire stick from the space and blew it, then lit the candle.

The scene in the room was in full view.

There were sundries and utensils in the room, and a brown wooden box was placed on the ground with a lock on it.

Jiang Shuyue used a hairpin to open the lock on the wooden box. There were about a thousand taels of silver in the wooden box.

Jiang Shuyue showed a hint of sarcasm, so shabby, but still so arrogant.

Jiang Shuyue waved her hand, leaving no cloud behind.

She was about to retreat, and the sound of locking the door came from outside.
