Chapter 1805: Conspiracy
Jia Heming was not surprised at all when he was rejected again.
After returning to the yamen, he made an agreement with Zheng Sangge that if the Fan family continued to refuse to cooperate, he would ask Zheng Sangge to bring a few people to accompany him on official duties tomorrow.
Otherwise, this matter will never be resolved. The attitude of the Fan family makes it impossible to move forward even half a step.
Guanzhou Cheng only cares about things in a perfunctory manner, directing and arranging everyone's affairs in a mess, and talking about this and that all the time, but he himself does not do any real work.
Jia Heming didn't care. Anyway, he just had to listen to Lord Shao.
Jia Heming never expected that he would be hit by a club on his way back from the yamen that day.
When I woke up slowly, the moon was already at its zenith. A pale half moon hung in the dark blue sky, emitting a cold and dim light.
Midsummer is coming to an end. There is no wind at night, and the heat and stickiness are so stuffy that it seems hard to breathe.
He moved with difficulty, and felt severe pain all over his head, neck, back, chest, abdomen, legs, and arms. When he took a breath, he felt a tearing pain in the corners of his mouth. He reached out and touched it, and found that the broken skin was scabbed and it hurt when he touched it.
This was the alley he passed through on his way home. Looking at it at night, it made one feel a strange sense of panic for no reason.
He endured the severe pain from all parts of his body and struggled to get up, stumbling back to the prefectural government office...
Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan had just rested. The most lacking thing for new parents whose babies were not even one month old was sleep, even with a wet nurse and maidservants to take care of them. Qiao Xuan had experienced all the ups and downs of being a new mother.
Little An An is a very clingy kid who cries a lot and is extremely clingy. Once he opens his eyes and doesn't see anyone, he will cry for a long time. He must be held and coaxed by Qiao Xuan, and no one else will do but her.
He still refused to drink the nurse's milk directly, and only drank Qiao Xuan's. He was still young, and usually needed to be fed three times throughout the night.
Therefore, the wet nurses and maids who helped to look after the baby were really just helping to look after the baby, such as changing diapers, lending a hand when changing mattresses, and playing with and comforting the baby when the baby was awake, and that was all.
Qiao Xuan had thought about just being hard-hearted and letting him cry, letting the wet nurse and maids hold and comfort him. Maybe he would get used to it if it happened more than once.
But how could she be so cruel? An An cried aggrievedly and tenderly, and within three seconds Qiao Xuan felt distressed again.
Later, she just thought, forget it! Her baby is close to her and likes her because she is his biological mother. Why should she make herself a cruel stepmother?
It doesn't matter if it's a bit hard, at least there are servants to help, and she doesn't have to take care of all the housework. Her husband can also help her from time to time and accompany her, which is enough...
The first sleep that one falls asleep every night is usually the most sound and relatively the longest. For Qiao Xuan, this period of time is the most comfortable golden rest time after a tiring day.
Normally she was so tired that she would kick her husband aside when he wanted to get intimate with her. Now she was woken up just as she was falling asleep. You can imagine how depressed she was.
Lixia hesitated and whispered through the tent: "...Captain Sun Bai said that Jia Shuli has come, with wounds all over his body, and was beaten with a club. Sir, you——"
Shao Yunduan suddenly woke up and said, "I'll go take a look."
Qiao Xuan also came to her senses after hearing this and asked hurriedly, "Shuli Jia was beaten at this moment. Is it related to the Fan family?"
