The carriage stopped, and Chen and Shen ran towards Jiang Yuzhu almost at the same time, looking her up and down. Seeing that she was only wearing torn clothes and not injured, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen was still in shock and said, "Yuzhu, there was no news from you all night. We were so scared that we couldn't sleep and were worried..."

After saying this, Shen glared at her son.

After the heroic rescue, it was time for Xie Zhao to show off in front of Chen, but he became a sawed-off gourd again.

"I'm fine, my husband is taking care of me."

Jiang Yuzhu was almost unharmed, but Xie Zhao needed to be examined carefully by a doctor.

Shen was thoughtful and had already brought a doctor with her.

The doctor first took Jiang Yuzhu's pulse, and after confirming that she was safe, he examined Xie Zhao.

"Thank you, sir, for your pulse..."

The doctor was about to say that apart from the external injuries, there was nothing serious, but was stopped by Xie Zhao's eyes.

Shen finally thought of checking her son's injuries and hinted to the doctor, "Doctor, my son has lost too much blood. Does he need to be nursed back to health for a while?"

The doctor nodded like a puppet and said, "Yes, yes."

Shen asked again: "Is it serious? Please tell the truth, there is no need to hide it."

After saying this, Shen secretly slipped a piece of silver to the doctor.

To answer truthfully, it is not serious.

After receiving the silver, the doctor said guiltily, "Master Xie's pulse is a little strange. My ability is limited. I suggest you seek a consultation from the imperial physician."

The doctor was also surprised. It was the first time he saw someone exaggerate the severity of the illness and say that he was cursing himself.

Chen was asking about her daughter Jiang Yuzhu's health when she heard the doctor say Xie Zhao was not well. She asked, "Is it that serious?"

The doctor sighed and avoided answering.

Chen looked at Xie Zhao's pale face again and sighed secretly. When she married her daughter off, she really didn't realize that Xie Zhao had the face of a short-lived ghost. What a pity.

"My dear, I want to take Yuzhu back to the Jiang Mansion to stay for a few days to calm down. If..."

Chen also knew that it was not appropriate to take her daughter away at this juncture.

As a mother, she is inevitably selfish, and Chen only cares about Jiang Yuzhu.

Xie Zhao was seriously ill, and if his daughter got sick again, it would be even worse.

Shen was very understanding and agreed, "Yuzhu was frightened, that's as she should be."

Xie Zhao was still able to stand up, but after the doctor's diagnosis, he was carried onto the bed by Shen's men.

He really wanted to stand up and stop them, but was stopped by Shen, who signaled the Jiang family to leave first.

After watching the Jiang family's carriage go away, Shen turned around and said disdainfully, "Your wife has gone back to her parents' home. Now you know you're anxious. Just lie down quietly."

Xie Zhao put his hand on his forehead, his expression flickering: "Mother, my son still needs to go to the palace to see the emperor."

Shen stressed dissatisfiedly: "You are seriously injured now."

He took the opportunity to pretend to be sick and recuperate for a few days, then went to Jiang's house to pick up Jiang Yuzhu. A short separation is better than a new marriage, which promoted the relationship between husband and wife.

Xie Zhao was planning to pretend to be sick, but he didn't want to be carried by others and unable to take care of himself.

Especially since the doctor sighed without answering, if Xie Zhao hadn't known the truth, he would have almost prepared for his own funeral.

Shen argued: "You don't understand, just do the whole act."

Many women's feelings for men begin with sympathy.

Shen taught her son the method of chasing his wife, but Xie Zhao didn't listen to a word he said.

If he acted half-dead and ready to die at any moment, Jiang Yuzhu might remarry the next day.

His wife is different from ordinary people!

Shen thought about it and realized that what her son said made sense: "That's because you did a terrible job and it chilled Yuzhu's heart. You should look for the reasons in yourself."

If Xie Zhao had not gone to rescue them, the couple would have disappeared together. Shen would not have been ashamed to see the Jiang family. Instead, it was Chen who kept persuading her to relax.

Thinking of this, Shen raised her lips again: "Yuanhe, people like Yuzhu are so lucky, they can always turn misfortune into fortune, and you are lucky enough to be with her!"

Xie Zhao: "..."

He rescued the lady, his men hunted the wild boar and pheasant, and he caught the fish, but in the end, the credit went to the lady.

What’s even more terrifying is that Xie Zhao has already adapted to this logic.

Could it be that he was also poisoned?

In the evening, the heat gradually dissipated and a cool breeze blew everywhere.

After leaving the valley, on the road, Jiang Yuzhu met the Jiang family's grand welcoming team. Except for the doorman and a few cooks, almost everyone was there.

Along the way, the crackling sound of firecrackers is just to get rid of bad luck.

Jiang Yuzhu finally remembered and asked, "Mom, Dad was implicated by his daughter. Even if he has good food and drink in the cell, it's hot and there are always rats and bugs. That kind of environment..."

Chen patted her daughter's hand, her expression clear and sober: "Yuzhu, don't worry about your father. He is very experienced and has planned this all along."

Recently, the factional struggles in the court have become too intense. The emperor and the officials in the court have different political views and are arguing fiercely.

For this, Jiang Fulu must express his position.

"Your father's hometown is short of water. Floods don't happen once every hundred years. He has only a vague understanding of flood control, so he used the excuse of beating up the Ji family in the court to get himself jailed."

If you anger the emperor, you will be put in jail for a few days. When the emperor calms down and releases you, the argument about how to deal with the flood will be over.

It’s good to have some peace and quiet in jail.

Jiang Fulu was afraid that his daughter would blame herself after finding out, so he called the Jiang family together the night before to explain the matter.

Although Jiang Fulu is in jail now, the Jiang family has Chen in charge, and the emotions of the master and servants are very stable.

Jiang Huaiqing also said: "Little sister, you stay at home for a few more days and wait for Honghong to lay eggs."

Chen recalled Xie Zhao's expression and finally decided to swallow her words and let her daughter have a good rest first.

That night, Jiang Yuzhu was already lying on the luxurious big bed in the bedroom of the Jiang Mansion, feeling so comfortable that she wanted to roll around.

Hearing some movement at the window, Jiang Yuzhu stood up and looked out. She saw a dark shadow flash by and then enter the room.

Jiang Yuzhu was about to serve her with chili powder when the man quickly pulled off his mask.

"master?"

Late at night, Xie Zhao dressed like this and came to visit Jiang's house.

"I had no choice but to go to the palace to see the emperor for my husband."

Xie Zhao sat on the chair, picked up the half cup of tea that Jiang Yuzhu had left, and drank it all in one gulp.

The tea not only has the fragrance of tea, but also has a sweet taste.

After another cup of tea, the taste became much lighter.

After returning from the palace, Xie Zhao instinctively went to Jiang's house. By the time he realized it, he had already jumped into Jiang Yuzhu's yard.

There were footsteps at the door.

Chen was carrying the bird's nest porridge and saw that the light was on in the room. She smiled and said, "Yuzhu, you are not asleep. Mother is about to come in."

Jiang Yuzhu's eyebrows jumped, she looked at Xie Zhao, pointed under the table and said nervously: "Go in."

Xie Zhao's eyes were deep, and it was obvious that he had no intention of cooperating.

At this moment, Chen had already walked to the door.

Jiang Yuzhu was so anxious that she lifted the tablecloth and pushed Xie Zhao in: "Master, hide quickly, otherwise my mother will misunderstand!"

Xie Zhao, half of his body already under the table, struggled and said, "Madam, you and I are a legitimate couple, how could there be a misunderstanding?"

"They are husband and wife, I don't know if they are serious or not!"

Jiang Yuzhu didn't want to cause any trouble, so after seeing Xie Zhao hide, she opened the door.

Chen looked around suspiciously. "Hongli said you were going to bed. How did I hear you talking?"
