The more Xiao Lubuhua thought about it, the more upset he became. He accidentally crushed the teacup in his hand. The fragments pierced his palm, and bright red blood flowed down his palm and down his arm.
He hissed, and several servants and guards immediately knelt down in a large group, repeatedly begging for mercy: "Master, please punish me!"
Xiao Lubuhua frowned and tried to slow down his voice and said, "Everyone get up, I'm fine."
But the worries he had felt before didn't disappear despite his efforts to suppress them. The coldness in his voice still made people shudder.
Although several servants stood up as they were told, they were still a little nervous.
Xiao Lubuhua suddenly lost interest in waiting for Jin Yong to come out and collect the interest in person. He turned around and went to the stable, led his blue horse, and walked out of the yard.
Before leaving, he told the steward: "Be careful and serve."
The steward took the order seriously, and Xiao Lubuhua rode away at full speed.
He finally figured out that if he wanted to push those things onto the Mo Sect disciples, he had to make some arrangements.
It wasn't until it was completely dark that Jin Yong came out of the room with sore legs.
Two well-trained maids came in with a copper basin and a wooden bucket filled with hot water, and brought fine cotton cloth, bath towels, bath beans, rouge, combs and other items to serve.
Such a nice quilt was ruined.
…
When Jin Yong went out, he found that "Jia Shiqilang" was missing. He admired his brother for being a good person, but he also felt a little ashamed of himself for forgetting his brother.
However, this gift from my brother really touched my heart.
Even if Xia Yujiao didn't want to, so what? Wasn't she still in his hands?
Besides, as long as Xia Yujiao is trapped here and not found by the Xia family, there is no need to worry about her not softening over time.
If she could give birth to a child again...
By then, even if the Xia family found her, she would not abandon her child and follow the Xia family. No matter how angry the Xia family was, they could only hold their noses and recognize her as their son-in-law!
Jin Yongzhi left with satisfaction.
Since this place is my brother's territory, the people here are naturally trustworthy.
I really need to come to this house often.
He had to go home quickly, after all, he had to report for work tomorrow. But as long as he finished his work, he could stay here for the night again.
At this moment, he felt that Huazhi County was not far from Beiguan Town, and it would not be a big deal for him to ride back and forth on horseback. On the other hand, he also felt that Huazhi County was not too close to Beiguan Town, otherwise he could just stay there and not have to travel back and forth...
He was so engrossed in the joy of the journey, whipping his horse so fast that he didn't even notice who he met on the road. He only vaguely remembered a large procession of carriages and horses coming towards him, and then brushing past him.
When Jin Yong got home, he didn't even dare to turn on the light and sneaked into the house quietly. As a result, as soon as he entered the house, his old mother shouted at him and ordered him to kneel down.
The old lady herself took the whip and pointed it at him:
"Yong'er, tell me the truth, did you kidnap the young lady from the Xia family?"
Jin Yong's heart was pounding and his face changed, but he knew in his heart that if he really told the truth, who knows what would happen!
I, this old lady, have never seen through her...
He quickly crawled on his knees, approached his mother, hugged her legs and begged for mercy:
"Mother, why do you say that? Don't you know what kind of person your son is?
My son has been depressed for several months since his last marriage proposal was rejected, but he has been well behaved and has not done anything wrong.
My son has been drinking with his brother these days.
It's Brother Jia Shiqilang, the one who came to our house before. His family is in the fur, timber, and silk business, and they even served as imperial merchants a few years ago."
Seeing that his mother's expression did not change significantly, Jin Yong asked cautiously:
"The young lady from the Xia family...what happened to her?"
Jin Yong's mother lashed out a whip at the ground, which actually frightened Jin Yong: "Mom, please calm down!"
Jin Yong's old mother said angrily:
"That girl surnamed Xia, I don't know who she ran off with.
Her family discovered that she had disappeared. They searched for two days but could not find any clues. She was neither alive nor dead.
Their family has already filed a complaint with the county government yesterday. That damn old lady Zhou in their family was so bold that she spoke nonsense and dared to doubt my son!
The county government will probably question you, and since you haven't done anything wrong, you absolutely must not feel guilty!"
"Yes, son, I understand."
The old lady glared at Jin Yong dissatisfiedly:
"What's the matter? Get up quickly! If I don't ask you to, you won't get up, right? Don't you want to keep your leg anymore?"
Jin Yong quickly got up, but hunched over and leaned closer to his mother, putting on an exaggerated smile: "How could that be? Isn't it because you haven't said anything, and your son is afraid of making you angry?"
The old lady continued to scold him:
“Stop smiling at me.
That Xia family girl is obviously a fickle creature! Since she didn't fancy you and now she's gone off with some wild man, forget it.
While your mother is still able to move in the next two years, hurry up and marry another wife so that she can take care of your yard and let me, your old bones, have a good rest.
Otherwise, are all those girls in your house, and your children, counting on me, an old man with dim eyesight, to take care of them for you?"
Jin Yong said a lot of nice things, but he couldn't escape the fate of being arranged to go on a blind date by his mother.
However, if you want to go on a blind date, just go on a blind date. On the day, just show up and say that you don’t like anyone.
Jin Yong made up his mind and agreed calmly.
There was a gleam in the old lady's eyes. She had long anticipated Jin Yong's plan and had already decided on the person to marry Jin Yong. The so-called blind date was just a cover.
As long as Jin Yong has met the girl once and she doesn't dislike him, the marriage can be finalized and the girl can marry him.
There's no need to ask him whether he likes it or not.
Jin Yong didn't know that he had been plotted against by his mother. He was still thinking about how to say nice things to his mother so that he could go out more often.
However, the Zhou family reported the matter to the authorities, and the authorities also came to Jin Yong's house to search it. Otherwise, the old lady would not have asked Jin Yong to kneel down and apologize as soon as he entered the house.
However, after the government searched, they did not find Xia Yujiao, and they did not dare to offend the Jin family too much.
Although Zhou missed her daughter very much and gave the officer some copper coins as a bribe, the amount was very small and was just a drop in the bucket for the officer.
Since they didn't find the person and there wasn't much profit to be made, they weren't very friendly towards Zhou.
Zhou was already going crazy because she couldn't find Xia Yujiao. When she saw that the Jin family couldn't find anyone either, and she was pushed and scolded by these ferocious officers, she became furious. She forced herself to stay awake until she got home, but then she fell ill.
