Jiang Weiyan didn't know how to explain it. At this moment, he didn't dare to relax.
Su Wu stared at him closely, so he didn't dare to come here casually. If he hadn't put drugs in Su Wu's tea, he wouldn't dare to go out.
Seeing Ruan Hezhu's frosty face, he smirked and walked forward.
"He Zhu, I'm sorry, Daddy is late because of something."
"Take your followers and come with me into the house."
Ruan Hezhu didn't say anything extra. After he finished speaking, he walked straight into the house.
Jiang Weiyan paused slightly. He could understand why he went into the house to talk, but the question was why he was specifically ordered to bring an entourage.
However, since Ruan Hezhu said so, he just did it.
The three of them stayed in the house for a long time until Yu Sanniang prepared the meal and called them from outside, and then Jiang Weiyan came out.
Seeing him come out, his expression was a little stiff. Yu Sanniang asked suspiciously, "Where is He Zhu?"
"I'm here."
Suddenly, Ruan Hezhu's voice came from behind Jiang Weiyan.
Ruan Hezhu changed into the clothes of Jiang Weiyan's follower and even put on a hat to cover her face.
Yu Sanniang looked at her in shock, "What are you doing?"
"I'm telling you, I'm going out now. The follower will stay in the house instead of me. You must cover for me and keep it secret for as long as you can."
Ruan Hezhu whispered that she would never return to this place, so it was only a matter of time before she was discovered. Now she could only ask Yu Sanniang to help conceal it and buy her enough time.
"It's too dangerous outside. What are you doing outside?"
Yu Sanniang didn't understand her actions. In her opinion, everything Song Yu did was to protect Ruan Hezhu.
If she goes out so rashly, something might happen to her.
The two of them just need to stay here and wait until everything is settled, and then they will be taken back in style.
To be selfish, if King Chen fails, it has nothing to do with them, and they can still get away with it.
Why bother getting involved in this mess?
She glared at Jiang Weiyan disapprovingly, "Why are you fooling around with her? Don't you know what's going on outside?"
"I…"
Jiang Weiyan was helpless. Ruan Hezhu called him into the house and said she was going out and asked him for help.
He had tried to persuade her, but Ruan Hezhu directly threatened him that if he didn't help her, she and Yu Sanniang would die in this yard.
He had no choice but to agree because she pushed him.
There was nothing Ruan Hezhu could do since she didn't listen to anything he said.
Ruan Hezhu really didn't want to explain to them, not to mention that he couldn't explain it clearly.
She said bluntly that today either the two of them would help her get out, or she would die here.
"He Zhu, what are you doing?"
"Don't talk nonsense like that. It's getting late. I have to go out. I'll die here."
If she hadn't wanted Yu Sanniang to help her buy time, she wouldn't have told her that she wanted to escape from here.
"If she wants to go out, let her do it. I will protect her."
Jiang Weiyan said that this was the first time his daughter asked him for help, and he couldn't refuse.
Besides, although there is some chaos outside now, as long as Ruan Hezhu does nothing, this matter will not involve her.
"you…"
Yu Sanniang frowned, and it was obvious that Ruan Hezhu had made up his mind not to listen to her advice, so she could only wave her hands helplessly.
"Go out, be sure to pay attention to safety, if you find something wrong, come back quickly."
In her opinion, there is no safer place than here now.
"Let's go."
Ruan Hezhu urged impatiently.
When the two of them walked out the door, Ruan Hezhu quickly lowered his head.
The two guards seemed to sense something was wrong and asked calmly.
"Minister Jiang, you've just arrived, and you're leaving?"
"Yes, I have something to do at home and can't stay any longer." As he said that, Jiang Weiyan took out two silver ingots from his sleeve and stuffed them into their hands.
"Thank you for your hard work, brothers. I would also like to ask you to pay more attention to the people inside."
Although the guards didn't like to inquire about gossip, they knew something about the affair between Yu Sanniang and the Ruan family, which had caused a sensation in the city.
Now seeing Jiang Weiyan coming here again and again and being so nice to the people inside, they also guessed that Jiang Weiyan was the adulterer.
However, these have nothing to do with them. They are only responsible for watching over the people inside. The prince has repeatedly instructed that the people inside must not step out of the yard.
They just need to do their job well, and as for the money, they should not miss it.
The guard put the silver into his pocket and his expression softened.
"Don't worry, Minister. As long as Madam and Miss live here peacefully, nothing will happen."
"Yes, yes, I feel relieved that they are here. I'll leave first then."
Having said that, Jiang Weiyan was about to leave, and Ruan Hezhu hurriedly followed.
But after they had taken only two or three steps, they were suddenly stopped by the guards.
"Wait a moment."
"Master Jiang, why do you, as a follower, keep your head down and remain silent?"
The guard frowned. He remembered that the attendant was fine when he came. He walked towards Ruan Hezhu with doubt in his eyes. "Look up."
At this moment, Ruan Hezhu only felt the stickiness in his palms and his breathing became rapid.
She secretly took out the dagger hidden in her sleeve, intending to fight to the death when the moment came.
"You forgot to take the snacks I made."
At this moment, Yu Sanniang came over and glared at Jiang Weiyan, "Why don't you let your deaf and dumb follower come and take it."
"I've told you so many times not to use him. He doesn't listen to anything I say. He can never do anything you ask him to do properly."
"Okay, I've got that. I'll replace him when we get back." Jiang Weiyan hurriedly stepped forward, pushed Ruan Hezhu, and pointed at the pastries in Yu Sanniang's hand.
“Uh…uh…”
Ruan Hezhu understood what he meant, pretended to be mute, and walked forward to take the snacks.
"I'm sorry, big brother guard, I'm used to using this follower and I don't know the rules, please don't mind."
Jiang Weiyan said awkwardly.
The guard looked at him and then at Yu Sanniang, guessing that since he was having an affair behind his wife's back, especially with Lady Ning'an, he must be careful.
Only by bringing a deaf and dumb follower can the news not be leaked.
The guard laughed sarcastically, "Master Jiang is really cautious."
Jiang Weiyan laughed awkwardly, "Then we'll leave first."
The guard didn't think anything of it, nodded, and let them go.
The courtyard that Song Yu found was very hidden. It took them an incense stick of time to reach the main street.
Seeing people coming and going on the street, Ruan Hezhu breathed a sigh of relief. She finally escaped.
"What are you going to do here?" Jiang Weiyan asked in confusion.
"I want to see the prince."
Ruan Hezhu didn't want to tell him at first, but after thinking about it, she realized that she had no status now and was being watched by Song Yu, so she could never see the prince herself.
