Jiang Yimian was startled. She chuckled awkwardly and dared not talk nonsense anymore. She was somewhat absent-minded the whole way. She was the one who was flirting with people, but how did she end up being flirted with instead?
Looking at the flustered state of the person in his arms, Lu Cijian felt quite pleased, and the smile on his lips deepened. The tips of his ears, which were originally only slightly red, quickly spread to his neck.
Fortunately, the two arrived at Yuanlin Lane soon.
Lu Cijian tied up the horse and led Jiang Yimian straight to the deepest part of the alley.
After many twists and turns, we finally entered a secluded alley.
The two had just settled on the roof when there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard.
Jiang Yimian raised an eyebrow, pulled Lu Cijian to carefully squat on the roof, and only looked into the house after confirming that the two of them were hidden in the darkness.
A pretty young woman opened the door and came out of the house, holding a tinderbox in her hand. She seemed to know who was outside. Her steps were light, and her voice carried a hint of joy, "You've come."
As soon as the courtyard gate was opened, Jiang Yaoguang quickly slipped inside and shut the gate behind him.
Seeing the other person so flustered, Chen Shaofu asked curiously, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Jiang Yaoguang didn't answer, but asked with a grim expression, "Shaofu, have any strangers come looking for you these past few days?"
He felt like someone was following him every time he went out recently. Although he would deliberately take a longer route and change clothes at other houses, he still felt like someone was following him.
I don't know if it's because I feel guilty or for some other reason.
Chen Shaofu simply pulled the other person to sit down inside the house and said with a smile, "It's alright, husband, don't worry. I listen to you and rarely go out, so no one will notice."
"But you should be more careful in such a dangerous place."
Jiang Yaoguang was taken aback, coughed awkwardly, and asked, "Is Qi'er already asleep?"
Mentioning her son, Chen Shaofu's gaze softened even more. Pointing to the sleeping baby on the bed, she smiled and said, "Yes, he's already asleep."
Jiang Yaoguang went to the bedside to look at the baby again. His originally agitated heart finally relaxed a lot, and the gentleness he put on became more genuine.
Just as she was looking, she was suddenly hugged from behind. Chen Shaofu's voice was muffled, and if you listened carefully, it seemed to be tinged with sobs. "Husband, come with us. Although your master's family has trapped you with debts, they can't possibly chase you to the ends of the earth."
"The Great Jin Dynasty is so vast. If we move to another prefecture, even if those people are ruthless, they won't find us easily."
It had been several months since they last saw each other, and she really didn't want to be separated from him again.
Having lost her parents and elder brother in succession during her escape from famine, she now only has this man and son left, and she wants the three of them to live together happily.
Jiang Yaoguang frowned, and after a while, he pulled away from her hand and said helplessly, "Shaofu, you know that the Zhang family are the tyrants of Qingshui County. How could I possibly get rid of them?"
"You don't need to think about these things. I've come today to discuss other matters with you."
He's counting on marrying Song Miaoyin now, how could he possibly go with this woman? She has nothing, and he doesn't want to starve.
He thought this woman's family had some wealth, but to his surprise, her rice shops were sold off early on, and the money was quickly squandered.
If it weren't for the fact that this woman was pregnant, he would have dealt with her long ago and wouldn't have left this menace behind.
Ever since that day when they met on the street, this woman has been obsessed with meeting him.
Having finally managed to stabilize the other party, he needed to get rid of them as soon as possible, whether by sending them away or something else.
The Song family is also in Qinghe Town; it would be too easy for them to be discovered, and he can't afford to gamble with that.
Moreover, there's that bitch Jiang Yimian. I don't know how she found out about his relationship with Chen Shaofu. If she tells the Song family about his relationship with Chen Shaofu, he can forget about being their son-in-law.
Chen Shaofu was taken aback, then lowered her head somewhat dejectedly. After a while, she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and asked, "What do you want to discuss with me?"
She still doesn't know why things turned out this way. In just one year, her loving parents and elder brother have died, and the family's money is gone.
She was sent away because her husband said the family was in big trouble. She was about to give birth at that time. If she hadn't met a kind person on the way, she probably would have died on the way.
She was too old to give birth. She thought she could hide in Qinghe Town and her husband would come looking for her. But she waited for almost five months without any news.
If it weren't for the fact that her child was too young, and that she was sickly every day due to the damage she had done to her body from childbirth, plus that she had no money, she would definitely have gone to Qingshui County to find her husband.
Now that she has finally met him, she still cannot reunite with her husband.
Jiang Yaoguang suppressed the turmoil in his heart and said, "Don't stay in Qinghe Town recently. Go somewhere else, preferably far away from Qingshui County, no, far away from Jincheng Prefecture, the farther the better."
I'll come see you again after some time."
Once he marries Song Miaoyin and takes control of the Song family's business, it will be too late for anyone else to discover Chen Shaofu's affair. The entire Song family will then be his, and he won't have anything to fear.
Chen Shaofu's eyes widened instantly, and she swayed as if about to collapse. "Husband, can't we go together?"
She had suffered countless hardships on her way back to Qinghe Town, and she thought she would soon be able to settle down, but her husband wanted her to leave again.
Jiang Yaoguang quickly put his arms around the person in front of him and comforted her, "Shaofu, listen to me, it's better to leave here. If the Zhang family finds you, they will definitely take you away. How can I bear to see you suffer?"
Chen Shaofu was stunned for a while before saying, "Okay, I'll listen to my husband. Then, when will my husband come to see me?"
Having finally reunited with her husband, she didn't want to be separated again.
She only has her husband; no one protects her anymore.
Jiang Yaoguang said gently, "Shaofu, wait for me to come find you. Once things are settled here, I'll find a way to come to you."
This is the money I've been secretly saving these past few days; it's all for you.
As he spoke, he handed over the dusty money pouch at his waist.
Chen Shaofu was taken aback, and quickly waved her hand, "Husband, I know you have a hard life, and it must not have been easy for you to have this much money. I, I can embroider, I will not starve to death."
She has been making a lot of handkerchiefs these days, which can earn her some money; otherwise, she would probably have starved to death long ago.
Jiang Yaoguang simply put down the money bag, offered a few words of reassurance, and then hurriedly left.
As soon as he stepped out of the courtyard, he felt a headache coming on. He should have just dealt with the person in the first place; otherwise, how could such a huge hidden danger have been left behind?
He couldn't wait any longer. Rather than letting this person live and cause him trouble, he might as well get rid of him directly. All he wanted was his flesh and blood.
Having made up his mind, he quickened his pace to leave.
Inside the room, Chen Shaofu was wiping away her tears when two people suddenly appeared in front of her. She was so startled that she was about to scream when someone covered her mouth.
