Did you spot a demoness in Chapter 56?
"Don't worry, Dr. Jiang, I will have someone look into this matter. Once I get the news, I will send someone to deliver it to you."
Inside the yamen, Magistrate Feng saw Jiang Nuanzhi off. Seeing the two little girls holding hands and whispering to each other, he couldn't help but smile.
Jiang Nuanzhi breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving Magistrate Feng's words: "Thank you, sir. I didn't want to trouble you, but we ordinary people simply can't find such files, it's truly..."
"Oh? Dr. Jiang, you're too kind! You saved my daughter's life before, and I've always remembered it. I don't know how to repay you."
"I had actually intended to visit your residence to express my gratitude, but I've been truly busy and unable to get away. My daughter has been making a fuss for days, insisting on seeing you." Magistrate Feng said gently, "Besides, your matter isn't difficult to handle; I can simply have my clerk keep an eye on it. However, if my wife redeems the person, I truly have no way to intervene."
“My lord, I naturally understand these principles. Your help in finding information has already solved my immediate problem. Redeeming the military slaves will probably require a long-term plan, and I didn’t expect to get it done in a few days. I just thought that Uncle Xin is getting old, and if there is an opportunity, I would like to go and see him first and make some arrangements. Once we have enough money, we will go and redeem him.”
Magistrate Feng nodded: "Your wife is very thoughtful. That's excellent."
"Sir, please don't see me off any further. I'll take the child and go back now." Jiang Nuanzhi took Xiao Baozhu's hand and said goodbye to Magistrate Feng as they reached the door.
"Aunt Jiang, when will you come to see Wan'er and Yuanbao again?"
Wan'er reluctantly held onto Jiang Nuanzhi's hand, looking at her longingly.
Jiang Nuanzhi squatted down: "Wan'er, you must eat well, sleep well, and take good care of Yuanbao. Aunt Jiang will come to see you in a while, okay?"
"Okay! Aunt Jiang, you must bring little Baozhu next time!"
Jiang Nuanzhi nodded: "Okay, let's bring Baozhu along."
After saying that, she patted Baozhu's head and said, "Baozhu, say goodbye to Sister Wan'er."
"Goodbye, Sister Wan'er."
You absolutely have to come! You absolutely have to come and play with me!
In the distance, Jiang Nuanzhi and Baozhu had already mounted their horses, but they could see Wan'er behind them still waving vigorously and looking up with her little head.
"Mother, it seems like Sister Wan'er is crying," said Xiao Baozhu.
"Yes, Sister Wan'er probably likes Baozhu and doesn't want to be separated from her."
Jiang Nuanzhi was also taken aback.
She knew Wan'er liked them, but she didn't expect her to cry.
I couldn't help but recall the scene when I first met Wan'er.
Today, she met Magistrate Feng by chance.
Magistrate Feng insisted on inviting the mother and daughter to dine at his residence, and Jiang Nuanzhi, unable to refuse, returned with them. She also realized she really needed to take the kitten for a follow-up checkup.
When she saw Wan'er, the little girl locked herself in her room, forbidding anyone else to be near her, and only spoke to the sleeping Yuanbao.
He sighed inwardly. Magistrate Feng was indeed too busy and had probably overlooked the fact that Wan'er was also at an age where she needed companionship.
"Mother, will Baozhu be able to visit Sister Wan'er again in the future?"
Jiang Nuanzhi: "Of course, next time your mother will prepare some gifts for you too. You can give them to your friends."
“Okay!” Baozhu’s eyes sparkled with excitement: “Then Baozhu will bring gifts for Sister Wan’er, and also for Brother Xuanting, I’ll bring him gifts too.”
"good."
"Yay! Mother is the best! She's the best mother in the world."
Jiang Nuanzhi looked at her cute face and couldn't help but kiss her on the cheek.
She finally understood that Baozhu had a talent for coaxing people.
No wonder Xiao Er dotes on her so much; even he himself can't resist her charms.
"Hiss~"
The two sang as they walked home. Suddenly, Xiaoli seemed to lose control and started running.
Jiang Nuanzhi was startled: "You silly Xiaoli! What's wrong with you? Slow down! Slow down!"
She gripped the reins tightly, protecting the child and trying to keep the car steady.
However, the baskets were so jostled around that the things they bought couldn't withstand the weight, and they fell to the ground in pieces, and the baskets overturned.
Just as Jiang Nuanzhi was feeling sorry for the things, Xiao Li suddenly stopped.
It stopped in front of another horse.
Ignoring everyone else, Jiang Nuanzhi immediately dismounted and lifted Baozhu down from the horse.
"Are you alright? Are you hurt?"
Baozhu blinked twice in a daze, then suddenly giggled, "Mommy, Xiaoli runs so fast!"
Seeing that she was alright, Jiang Nuanzhi breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
He immediately checked on Xiaoli, examining her hooves closely; they were uninjured. Looking into her eyes, he saw she seemed relatively calm.
Finally, Jiang Nuanzhi attributed Xiaoli's running around to the horse ridden by the man opposite them.
The saying "lust at first sight" applies to any male.
"My lady, do you need any help?"
The tall and burly Lu Zhong dismounted and helped pick up the things.
"Excuse me, sir, I'm blocking your way. The horse has gone crazy and thrown everything out of the house."
Lu Zhong chuckled sheepishly, "Horses can be disobedient sometimes. It's good that my wife and child aren't hurt."
As he picked them up, he exclaimed in surprise, "My wife bought so many things by herself, can she carry them all?"
He couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Life was so good for farmers these days. He, a mere fifth-rank official in the imperial court, hadn't had such a large piece of meat to eat in ages. The last time he'd eaten so much meat was when the youngest son of a minor official in the Ministry of Revenue got married.
Jiang Nuanzhi replied with a smile, "It's alright. I'm physically strong and used to carrying things. Besides, we have a horse, so I don't have to carry it myself."
"Where is your husband, my wife? Let him come out and meet you; it will make things easier for you."
Jiang Nuanzhi felt that this person was asking a bit too many questions, and she became wary, but just smiled and didn't say anything.
"Mother, the sugar figurines you bought for us broke. What should we do? These were for my brothers." Baozhu held up a package wrapped in oil paper and looked at Jiang Nuanzhi pitifully.
Jiang Nuanzhi: "It's okay, Mom will put it on you when we get back."
"Okay!" Baozhu hugged the little sugar figurine tightly and nodded.
As they spoke, everything had been picked up, and Jiang Nuanzhi helped Xiao Baozhu onto the horse. She then said to Lu Zhong beside her, "Thank you, brother. We'll head back now."
"Take care, my lady."
As Lu Zhong watched, he couldn't help but think how wonderful it would be if the general married a woman like her.
He's a bit chubby, but as the old saying goes, dumplings should be eaten piping hot, and wives should be plump!
She looks kind-hearted and well-off, and she's good to children. Isn't she much better than that vixen?
Thinking this, he suddenly remembered the important matter: "By the way, my wife, I want to ask you about someone."
"Have you seen a demoness with a little girl, riding a black horse?"
As Jiang Nuanzhi listened to his description, her expression grew increasingly strange.
Lu Zhong belatedly touched his forehead and said, "Well, of course I wasn't talking about you, my wife."
Jiang Nuanzhi gave a dry laugh: "Yeah, I haven't seen anyone else do that besides me."
Feeling increasingly suspicious of this man, she didn't say anything more to him, politely nodded, and rode away on her horse. This time, Xiaoli obeyed.
Lu Zhong watched their retreating figures and scratched his forehead: "Hey, why does that horse look so much like Daoli?"
He chuckled and shook his head, muttering to himself, "I've really gone mad. Daoli is the emperor's personal gift, a horse that has fought alongside the general through countless battles. It's extremely unruly; how could it allow a woman to ride it?"
Furthermore, how could Dao Lisheng, who was tall and mighty, be so thin and weak?
They immediately spurred their horses and rode off to continue their search.
"Ah Nuan, Ah Nuan! You're back!"
Just as Li Rong was filled with regret and remorse, he suddenly heard the waiter say something that made him jump.
She's back?
Immediately hold your breath and listen attentively.
A short while later, a woman's gentle voice came from behind: "Yes, you're back. Come and see, we bought so many things today!"
Xinbo: Good heavens, the general has never treated a woman like this before!
