ATBLM [QT] Chapter 80.1

Jiang Rui returned to her room and squinted for a while before being woken up by the servant. The Old Madam Huo wanted to talk to her.

She changed into a new style of goose-yellow cheongsam. Because of the hot weather, her clothes were sleeveless and her two white arms were exposed.

The Old Madam was a stubborn and conservative person. In the past, seeing Pan Susu dressed up like this, she always had to say one or two sentences. Today, not only did she have no words, but she also held her hand and could not hide her joy, saying: “Xiao Qi, Mother will remember your kindness all of my life.”

Jiang Rui said hurriedly, “Don’t say such a thing, Mother will offend Xiao Qi.”

“I know you are a good girl. This time, Changyao was able to wake up thanks to you. From now on, you will be a decent wife of the Huo family. I am old. Sooner or later, the family affairs will be handed over to Changyao and you.” Wang Shi said.

Jiang Rui pursed her lips and hesitated to speak.

When Wang Shi saw it, she said, “Speak directly if you have something to say. What worries do you have about it, just say it to your mother?”

“Mother, I want to continue going to school, is that okay?” Jiang Rui asked.

Pan Susu is a student at Fengcheng Women’s University. She will be in her third grade when school starts after the summer vacation. Jiang Rui knew that Wang Shi wanted her to be a housekeeper, but she would rather go outside than stay at home all day and take care of the food and drink of a group of people, which was more in line with Pan Susu’s temperament.

Wang Shi pondered and finally agreed. Originally, Xiao Qi and Changyao got married because she forced them to, so it is not good to ask for anything else. But, she also made an opinion, “From now on, let’s live at home, don’t live in any dormitory.”

“Okay.” Jiang Rui nodded, staying at home just convenient for her to contact Huo Changyao.

Leaving Wang Shi’s residence, Jiang Rui walked into the garden.

There are two bungalows in Huo Mansion, one is at the front and the other is at the back. Wang Shi prefers quietness. After the Old Master Huo passed away, she moved to the back. Pan Susu and Huo Changyao both lived in the front.

Huo Changyao was in a coma a while ago and the atmosphere at home was depressing and gloomy. Even the servants walked and talked with depression. Today, he woke up, so the whole mansion was filled with lightness and joy.

Several young servants were talking and laughing. When they saw Jiang Rui, they first called Miss Seventh and then they reacted. They all changed their mouths and called Madam. It seems that they were extremely uncomfortable with this change.

Jiang Rui passed by with them. After walking ten steps, she could still hear the whispers behind her.

She ignored it and returned to the front. Just as she was about to go upstairs, a person came down the stairs and said, “Xiao Qi.”

“Sixth Brother.” Jiang Rui smiled at him.

The name of the person walking towards her was Xu Hansheng. Like Pan Susu, he was the adopted child of the Huo family and was now Huo Changyao’s deputy.

Xu Hansheng grew up gracefully. He did not look like a soldier, but a literati scholar with a pen. He also had a gentle temper. He frowned slightly and looked at Jiang Rui worriedly.

The two were both adopted and they were of a similar age. They had a good relationship since childhood. He was the only one who knew Pan Susu’s thoughts. Because Huo Changyao was injured, he had been in the army for a while to stabilize the situation. Today, he hurried over when he learned that he was awake, but he heard the news that Pan Susu and Huo Changyao were married. Xu Hansheng’s surprise was no less than Huo Changyao, who had just woken up.

“You and Big Brother…” He did not know what to say.

Jiang Rui seemed unwilling to talk more about this issue and said with a smile: “After Big Brother wakes up, the Sixth brother can also feel more relaxed. Look, you are so busy that you don’t even have time to shave. You are as ugly as an old man.”

When Xu Hansheng saw this, he had no choice but to cooperate and smile bitterly: “No, when Big Brother recovers, I have to ask for a long leave from him.”

“Is Big Brother asleep now?” Jiang Rui asked.

“No, I think he is in good spirits.”

Although Huo Changyao was awake, he had lost too much blood and had been sleeping for a long time. His physical strength was still weak, so the doctor asked him to recuperate for a while. The Old Madam loves her son very much and asks him to lie down and not get up.

Jiang Rui nodded and stepped aside, “Sixth Brother, go and do your work first. Come back and have dinner together when you have time.”

Xu Hansheng did have a lot of things to do. Although he wanted to have a good talk with her, he did not have time right now, so he could only leave in a hurry.

In the main room on the second floor, Huo Changyao was leaning on the bedside reading the military report. From the corner of his eye, he saw a figure passing by the door. He did not pay attention at first, but he quickly thought of something and said, “Xiao Qi.”

Jiang Rui had already walked a few steps away. Hearing this, she slowly returned back: “Big Brother.”

Huo Changyao nodded to the chair next to the bed, “Sit down, Big Brother has something to tell you.”
