The patrolman kicked him to the ground, "Shameless villain!"
"I initially thought it was an excuse, but later on I learned that she was indeed seriously ill and would not live long. That's why I contacted Xu Si afterwards."
He crawled in front of Xu Jiang and looked up at her. "I know you hate me. I know I'm disloyal and despicable, but even the master couldn't defeat them back then. What can a lowly slave like me do? I just want to live, live well. Is that wrong?"
"Just because you want to live, you can betray and harm others?" The patrolman was so angry that he pulled out his scabbard.
He didn't dare to talk back.
"Then are you living a good life?" Xu Jiang's words were heartbreaking. "You betrayed my master and followed Xu Yan and Xu Hao. Are you okay with that?"
Xu Twelve's face was pale and ashen, like a dead person.
"If Master hadn't died, with his talent, he would have already shone brightly. Would you worry about not being able to survive and live a good life if you followed him?"
The watery light in Xu Jiang's eyes turned into a piece of snow, like a glacier in winter, which was about to freeze people to death. "But you killed him, so you are in this situation now, it's all retribution."
Xu Twelve trembled all over, curled up on the ground, and humbly grasped at the last ray of hope, "As long as you redeem me, I will tell you Xizhi's whereabouts. She is your biological mother, and I am just a lowly slave. I am not worth you spending a penny on me, but she is."
"As long as you redeem me, I will never appear in front of you again. You don't know that every time I see you... it is torture for me." After saying this, he burst into tears, and his cries sounded like the howling of a ghost.
Xu Jiang was right. He had not had a good life since Xu Yuan's death. He was treated as a nobody by Xu Yan and Xu Hao. He was often tormented by Xu Yuan and had not slept well.
But no matter how bad the situation is, he still wants to survive and live.
Although he could not see the purpose of living and did not understand the meaning of living, he still wanted to live, at least as a real person and be looked at seriously by others.
The patrolman was annoyed by his crying and stepped on his back, threatening him: "Shut up, how dare you cry?"
He stopped crying, but continued to sob.
Xu Jiang stared at him for a long moment before speaking bluntly, "Okay, I'll redeem you, but I have one condition."
Xu Twelve looked up in surprise, tears and snot on his face, but his smile actually revealed a bit of madness. He said urgently: "As long as you redeem me, don't mention one condition, even ten or a hundred, I will agree to it."
"You're not that useful to me yet." Xu Jiang said slowly, "Xu Hao has been demoted to a lowly status and is about to be sold into slavery. I want to buy him and give him to you."
Xu Twelve was stunned when he heard this.
Xu Jiang lowered her eyes and said sarcastically, "This is just a favor to you. Thank you for taking care of Master and me. I'm letting you learn from Xu Hao how to be a master and rise up as a man."
"Master?" He was Xu Si's master? Xu Twelve's heart was beating fast.
"If you were to shed your citizenship, you would be a good citizen. He is now a slave, so you can naturally buy him and become his master."
Xu Twelve asked: "Why do you do this?"
Xu Jiang's tone was filled with a hint of resentment. "Because I don't want him to have an easy life, nor do I want you to have an easy life, and I definitely don't want to see you both again. Since you brought him here, you should take him with you and get out of the capital."
Xu Twelve shuddered at her words, "Okay... I promise you, as long as you redeem me, I will take him away from the capital."
Thinking of the oppression, beatings and torture that Xu Si had inflicted on him every day, Xu Twelve felt resentful and hateful. Even though he knew that Xu Jiang did this for revenge, he couldn't help but be moved, and he had no choice.
"It's settled then. You can tell me her whereabouts."
Xu Twelve shrank back and said, "I'll tell you after I get the registration book." This was his only bargaining chip. He couldn't let Xu Jiang trick him out again, no matter how nicely she said it.
After hearing this, the patrolman wanted to beat him again.
"Okay. I'll bring the silver tomorrow to redeem you." Xu Jiang uttered a few words between her teeth. "Just wait."
After saying that, she saluted the patrol guards, turned around and strode away.
After walking out of the veranda courtyard, Xu Jiang stumbled and fell to the ground, then got up and walked out with a pale face.
Her mind was in a mess, and every step she took was like sinking into a quagmire, making it difficult to move forward.
But she still moved forward, she could only move forward.
When the guard saw her coming out, he hurriedly led the donkey to meet her. Seeing her face covered in cold sweat and pale, he was immediately shocked and asked hurriedly: "Boss, what's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well? Do you want to go to the clinic?"
Xu Jiang shook his head and forced a smile, "I'm fine."
The patrolman chased out and shouted, "Madam Xu!"
Xu Jiang turned around and asked, "Sir, is there anything else?"
"No." He chased out just to see how Xu Jiang was doing. "Are you... okay?"
"I'm fine."
How can it be good when your face is so pale?
The patrol officer called over the guard nearby and said to him, "Send Madam Xu back and let her have a good rest."
The guard bowed in response.
"I'm sorry to have caused you so much trouble." Xu Jiang was about to say goodbye, but suddenly her mind caught up something and she said to the patrol guard, "Please report Xu Hao's betrayal to the chief clerk for me and ask him to keep the man. I will come back tomorrow with the silver and redeem him."
"Don't worry, even if you don't tell me, I will keep him for you."
"Thank you."
Watching Xu Jiang riding away on her donkey, the patrol officer couldn't help but sigh, "If the Lord were to see what happened today, I wonder how angry he would be."
This is a flower blooming on a thousand-year-old iron tree. How can you bear to see her suffer such injustice?
