"Where did you get this jade pendant?" Jiang Xiuyuan asked his son with wide eyes.
"It's from a friend, so what? How come you also have this jade pendant?" Jiang Hai said disdainfully.
Jiang Xiuyuan took the jade pendant and looked at it, confirming that it was from the Yuchi family.
"This is from the Yuchi family. Look, your names are engraved on it. It's the keepsake from our childhood engagement that I was about to tell you about."
Jiang Hai looked at it doubtfully, and sure enough, among the patterns on the two jade pendants, his name was engraved on one side, and the four words "Yuchi Ziling" were engraved on the other side.
"Where did your friend get this jade pendant? Could something have happened to the girl from the Yuchi family?"
Jiang Xiuyuan was a little nervous. How could he give this token of love to someone else? He even suspected that something happened to the girl and someone stole this valuable item.
Jiang Hai ignored Jiang Xiuyuan's question and sorted out his thoughts. Oh, I see. Thanks to my father, I slept with my fiancée.
Even though this is a bit melodramatic, it's still acceptable.
After sorting out the clues, Jiang Hai called out to Wenzhi and turned to leave the Jiang Mansion.
Jiang Xiuyuan was still shouting from behind, "Hey, hey, hey, where are you going?"
"Go and bring your daughter-in-law home."
Jiang Hai waved his hand gracefully and left.
After leaving Jiang Mansion, Jiang Hai and Wenzhi went to the Xincheng Management Office, yes, the privately set up office in Xincheng.
"Aluo, where are the people?"
As soon as Jiang Hai entered the yamen, he called Wang Lue, and in a moment, Wang Lue hurried out to greet him.
"Master, I'm here. What's your mission? Capturing refugees?"
Jiang Hai took out the painting that Wang Tao had given him before, which showed Prince Xuan’s palace trying to capture Yuchi Ziling.
"What are you arresting? Are there still refugees in southern Xinjiang? Go, help me find this guy."
"Found it? Caught it?"
"Catch a ghost. If you find her, just take me to see her." Jiang Hai thought for a moment and continued, "Oh, by the way, she's dressed as a man now. Her clothes are... well, a gray-white robe. She's about this tall."
After saying the height, Jiang measured it with his hand at the tip of his nose. It was roughly the height of his nose.
"Okay, young master," Wang Lue took the blueprint with a smile and gave Jiang Hai a meaningful look. "Young master, what's wrong with your face? It hurts just looking at it."
"Get lost, it's none of your business, hurry up."
Wang Lue grinned and ran to gather people to go out and look for someone.
…
After Yuchi Ziling came out of Yanchun Tower in the east of the city, she walked aimlessly, and Cai'er was nowhere to be seen.
She was like a walking corpse, and what happened during this period was a huge blow to her.
Things started to spiral out of control while he was out shopping. He was harassed by Yang Zhe, and then he beat Yang Zhe and fled. He lost his wallet, and was pursued by soldiers. He came to this so-called new city, and even lost himself.
When she thought about what happened last night, with a man she had only met twice, she felt like crying but had no tears, and her eyes were dazed.
Now she was even hesitant to look for Jiang Xiuyuan. What if Jiang Shibo brought up the engagement? Should she tell him that she had lost her innocence?
Before she knew it, she had walked from the east to the north of the city.
She seemed to be deaf to the bustling hawking sounds on the street. The whole world became extremely strange, and it seemed as if everything was laughing at her.
"It seems to be her. Follow me and I will report to the boss."
Two Xincheng urban management soldiers saw Yuchi Ziling wandering on the street, whispered to each other, and then left one of them to follow her while the other went back to report the news.
Upon receiving the news, Jiang Hai and Wen Zhi hurried to the north of the city in a carriage.
On the North City Square, Jiang Hai's carriage stopped in front of Yuchi Ziling. Jiang Hai got out and walked towards her.
Yuchi Ziling's eyes were originally dull, but when she saw Jiang Hai, anger instantly surged in her heart.
"Pia", another big hit, this time on the right cheek, Jiang Hai's nostrils were bleeding.
The fingerprints on the face are symmetrical, which is good news for people with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
"Get lost, you bastard."
Yuchi Ziling yelled at him hysterically.
Jiang Hai didn't get angry, and continued to look at her with a smile. Wen Zhi behind him wanted to step forward to stop him, but Jiang Hai waved him off.
"Are you here to laugh at me? Isn't it enough to humiliate me? Ugh..."
Yuchi Ziling broke down again, tears streaming down her face.
"Yuchi Ziling."
Jiang Hai spoke and held her hand as she was about to wave again.
Yuchi Ziling was stunned for a moment. How did he know her name? She had only revealed her surname, Su.
Jiang Hai pulled Yuchi Ziling over, held her in his arms, and whispered in her ear,
"It's me... Jiang Hai... your husband."
A drop of nosebleed fell on Yuchi Ziling's shoulder at an inopportune time, and Jiang Hai sniffed.
"Jiang...Hai."
Yuchi Ziling muttered.
Time seemed to stop in an instant, and the entire North City Square seemed to have come to a standstill.
"Plop, plop, plop." Yuchi Ziling seemed to hear her dead heart beating again.
…
After a long moment, Wenzhi turned his back and prepared to disperse the crowd. This scene in the square was still quite shocking to people of that era.
Passersby were amazed.
"As the rumors say, there is a love between Long Yang. The young master is the young master, and he doesn't hide anything. It's awesome."
At this time, Passerby Wu looked at him, eager to try.
"Could it be that the young master is going to start another trend? Why don't we give it a try?"
Passersby fled in panic.
Passerby Wu: "Hey, don't go, try..."
Wenzhi yelled, asking the onlookers to disperse, otherwise they would be punished by sweeping the streets for a month.
The crowd gradually dispersed.
Yuchi Ziling slowly came back to her senses.
"Jiang Xiuyuan is..."
"It's my father. Okay, come back with me." Jiang Hai took her hand and walked towards the carriage.
Wenzhi rode his horse back to Jiang Mansion in the east of the city.
In the car, Jiang Hai smiled brightly.
Yuchi Ziling looked at him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, as he was still wiping his nosebleed. She handed him a handkerchief.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you."
"It's okay," Jiang Hai took the handkerchief and wiped it. "It's hard for you to come all the way to save someone, but this is also the first time I've been beaten and had a nosebleed. We're even."
What? What does it mean to send blood from a thousand miles away?
Yuchi Ziling blushed and turned away, no longer looking at him. This man was just not serious at all, he was just pretending before. But for some reason, she didn't feel disgusted, but instead felt a little happy.
On the way, Yuchi Ziling suddenly remembered that there was still no news about Cai'er, so she mentioned it to Jiang Hai.
"Wenzhi, go to the Urban Management Office first." Jiang Hai shouted to Wenzhi who was driving.
The carriage changed direction and headed towards the Urban Management Office.
Arriving at the yamen, Wang Lue was amazed.
"Master, your face... is this the popular flower ornaments this year? It doesn't look like it."
"What do you care? Why are you so busy? Help me find someone else..."
Jiang Hai told Wang Lue about Cai'er's general situation, and Wang Lue immediately recognized that this person was detained in the government office.
