Chapter 82 Was she picked up?

When Jiang Yueyao heard this, she thought it was a great idea.

"Then ask him to give me more gold, silver and jewelry when the time comes. Don't be too stingy."

"Okay, okay, you definitely can't live without what I have." Shen Baoqing became more and more excited as he spoke, "I'll give you more gold, silver and jewelry, so you can have two more children."

"I don't like Lu Sui, so naturally I don't want to have children with him. Give birth to two more and I'll raise one."

"I want a son. I will teach him martial arts, have him take the exam to become the top scorer, and then follow my father to Mobei to fight the Turks."

"That's fine." Jiang Yueyao also became excited. "Then I'll have another daughter and let her open a restaurant with me to make money."

"Why do you earn so much money?"

"Isn't that enough money?" Jiang Yueyao rolled her eyes. "I'm going to make her the richest woman in Daye. By then, I'll be her mother, living a life of luxury and debauchery. It'll be a blast."

"Not bad." Shen Baoqing gave her a thumbs up, "We are both very ambitious."

She raised her hand towards him and said, "Come on. Happy cooperation."

"Have fun!"

…

At this moment, in Hong County, more than 400 miles away, Lu Suilian sneezed several times.

Qingshu, who was serving on the side, hurried to the side and closed the window.

"It's been raining a lot recently, so Master should take better care of his health."

Lu Sui didn't even raise his head: "Has there been any news from the capital?"

"Today's has not yet arrived."

Qingshu looked outside as he spoke: "It should be here by now. I used to come here at this time every day."

Lu Sui put down the pen in his hand and put the written letter into the envelope. Qingshu took it, put it aside and sealed it.

Just as I finished it, Qingfeng came in.

"Master, we just received a tip-off that Dong Gang is about to escape."

Lu Sui stood up, walked to the window and looked at the dark night outside.

The voice is cold and deep.

"Send someone to follow, don't alert the enemy."

"yes."

After Qingfeng left, Qingshu saw that it was getting late, so he asked Lu Sui, "Master, do you want to rest? I'll go get you some hot water."

Lu Sui nodded.

When he came out after washing, the letter from the capital still had not arrived.

Lu Sui couldn't wait any longer and called Qing Xuan over: "Go back to Beijing tonight and see if anything has happened."

Qingxuan nodded and was about to leave when a black carrier pigeon flew over from a distance, circled in the air for a few moments, and landed on the study window.

Qingxuan stepped forward, picked up the carrier pigeon, took out the letter, and turned to hand it to Lu Sui.

Lu Sui took it and unfolded it, reading a few lines at a glance, and his face suddenly turned cold.

“Everyone really thought I was dead!”

He threw the note aside, his face terribly gloomy.

Qingshu picked up the note, looked at it, and his expression changed a little.

"Princess Xiang Ning is so arrogant! Master, you've only been gone for a few days, and she's already set her sights on the young lady."

"But fortunately, the Bai family took action, otherwise Miss and Miss Shen would have to endure much more suffering."

Lu Sui stood by the window without moving.

His long-sleeved fingers stroked the pigeon's feathers in a slow and measured motion, but his voice was as cold as ice.

"Qingxuan, you should return to Beijing and hand over the evidence you collected about Hu Tao's corruption and bribery to Bai Jinguang, the second master of the Bai family."

Shen Baoqing is the treasure held in the palm of the Bai family's hand.

The Bai family will not let it go if such a treasure is bullied and imprisoned.

He was about to close the net, so he took this opportunity to strike Hu Tao first.

"By the way, tell Duan Yanzhou to keep a close eye on Prince An's mansion. Dong Gang is desperate. I'm forcing him into a desperate situation here. He will definitely contact Prince An."

What he wanted from the beginning was to catch the criminal red-handed.

Qingxuan: "Yes."

…

Shen Baoqing sent Jiang Yueyao away and returned to Chongming Hall.

When I entered the house, I found that everyone was still there. My uncles were still sitting there drinking tea. It seemed that they had no intention of taking their own yard...

Shen Baoqing paused, then turned around and was about to run.

Bai Jinguang sneered: "Do you dare to run and try?!"

“…”

Shen Baoqing's body stiffened.

She turned around and immediately put on a pitiful face. She looked at the old lady Qiao and started to act coquettishly: "Grandma..."

Qiao immediately glared at Bai Jinguang, then waved at her.

"Come, come to Grandma, I'll see who dares to be mean to you."

Shen Baoqing immediately ran to Mrs. Qiao, sat down next to her, and then winked at his second uncle proudly.

Bai Jinguang was so angry that he gasped: "Just indulge her. Next time, if she sneaks away somewhere else, I'll see where you can find her."

"No, no, absolutely not." Shen Baoqing raised his hand and swore, "I will not leave the capital, even if you beat me."

"snort!"

"That's enough." The old Grand Tutor Bai Changming said. He looked at his granddaughter and said in a gentle tone, "Why did you sneak back to the capital? Why didn't you return home after returning to the capital?"

"I overheard my parents say that the Emperor hasn't given up on my marriage to Lu Sui. But, Grandfather, I don't like Lu Sui at all. He always has a sullen face and his words are unpleasant to the ear. If I marry him, how can I have a good life?"

"Besides, he's already 25 years old this year, and I'm only 18. He's a full seven years older than me."

"Tell me, why did I marry him? Because he's older?"

My uncle Bai Jinyan spoke.

"It's just seven years old. Aren't I seven years older than your aunt? What's wrong with seven years? I think it's just right."

"That's right. When a man is older, he knows how to care for others. Besides, Lu Sui is not bad looking, has a good character, and his family background is comparable to yours. Besides, he is a first-rank tutor at such a young age. Looking at the entire Daye, is there any man more outstanding than him?"

Bai Jinguang tried his best to persuade her, "Qingqing, the emperor really loves you. Otherwise, he would have taken such a good man as his son-in-law long ago, so why would it be your turn?"

"I don't care. Anyway, I don't agree with this marriage."

"But what can you change by running back?"

"Although nothing has changed for the time being, I found that Lu Sui doesn't want to marry me either." Shen Baoqing was very proud. "He doesn't want to marry me, and I don't want to marry him. It's a dilemma. The emperor will definitely not force anyone to do anything."

Old Madam Qiao suddenly grasped the key point.

"He doesn't want to marry you? Have you two met?"

"Wanhe Tower is his property. I work there, so of course I've seen him. Not only have I seen him, but I've seen him many times." Shen Baoqing suddenly remembered something, "The Prime Minister's daughter Pei Yunjin seems to be quite fond of him."

"There are so many girls in the capital who like him, and you're the only one who doesn't have good taste." Bai Jinguang suddenly remembered something, "You were just talking about that Miss Jiang... What's going on between her and Lu Sui?"

When mentioning Jiang Yueyao, Shen Baoqing put away the smile on his face.

She sighed softly.

"Yaoyao is actually very pitiful. If Lu Sui hadn't saved her, she would have been killed by her heartless fiancé."

"Fiancé? That little girl has a fiancé?"

Shen Baoqing nodded and told the story of Lu Hengqing.

After hearing this, everyone in the Bai family couldn't help but curse them as ungrateful.

Qiao was even more distressed.

"She looked younger than you, but I never expected she would go through so much hardship."

"Yeah." Shen Baoqing leaned on Qiao, "She is sixteen, I am eighteen, I am two years older than her."

"Sixteen?" Bai Changming suddenly asked, "When is her birthday?"

"It seems to be the end of the year." Shen Baoqing continued, "Yaoyao said that she didn't know the exact date of her birthday. Now this birthday is the day her mother found her, and later she regarded it as her birthday."

"What did you say?" The Bai family members said in unison, "She was picked up?"
