"Given Song Yu's character, he will definitely take you out later. This is your only chance to escape, do you understand?" Jiang Xue grabbed Cuizhu's hand, staring at this maid who was loyal to her.
She could not give him much to begin with, and now there was no need for her to follow him and risk her life. Since Song Yu had softened his heart towards her, he would definitely rescue Cuizhu because she cared so much about her.
"Miss, I won't leave, Miss." Tears welled up in Cuizhu's red eyes again. Her life was saved by Miss. She would go wherever Miss was.
"Silly girl, if you go with me, who will do the worship in the future?" Jiang Xue nodded Cuizhu's head teasingly, as if she was telling an ordinary joke.
"Miss." Cuizhu looked at Jiang Xue resentfully. It was already this late, and Jiang Xue still had time to tease her.
"Good Cuizhu." The softness in Jiang Xue's eyes was clearly visible. She pulled Cuizhu into her arms, let Cuizhu lie on her legs, and tidied up her messy hair bit by bit.
When she was not favored in the past, it was just her and Cuizhu, and they also combed each other's hair in the dilapidated woodshed of the Jiang Mansion.
Later, when Brother Tianze began to take better care of her, her life with Cuizhu got better. There were many servants who were loyal to her over the years, but none of them were as close to her as Cuizhu.
"I have a house in the suburbs of Beijing. It's not very big and was bought in your name. In the southeast corner of the house there is a red date tree, your favorite."
"There's some silver and your indenture under the tree. Consider it the dowry the young lady prepared for you in advance."
Jiang Xue spoke slowly, and her whole person exuded a gentleness that Xu Tianze had never seen before.
Cuizhu nodded with sobs. She knew that the young lady had already made arrangements for her funeral. Even if she was rescued by the prince, she would not live on. After the young lady's body was collected, she would go to accompany her young lady.
When she got to the underworld, she would still be the young lady's maid and could continue to take care of her. The Yellow Springs Road was cold and lonely, but having her by her side would always make the young lady feel better.
"Let's go." After hearing Jiang Xue's words, Xu Tianze turned around and prepared to leave with Xuedie.
He already knew the beginning of the matter, so why should he stay? There was no need to see Jiang Xue again.
Just as Jiang Xue didn't know how to face him, he didn't know how to face Jiang Xue for a moment, but Jiang Xue said something wrong.
That is, even if Jiang Xue didn't exist, he wouldn't have anything to do with Song Yu. Just as Song Yu had responsibilities to the Zhenguo Mansion, he couldn't let his father and brother down.
Born in this era, born into a powerful family, and enjoying corresponding rights and a wealthy life, one must shoulder the responsibilities that should be shouldered.
"Since Brother Tianze is here, why don't you meet Xue'er before leaving?" Jiang Xue's voice came from the cell.
When Xu Tianze heard Jiang Xue's words, he glanced at Xuedie's hand which she had not retracted, sighed in his heart, turned around and walked out, and in the process stepped hard on Xuedie who was pretending nothing had happened.
Hearing Xuedie's groan of pain, Xu Tianze finally felt relieved and stood in front of Jiang Xue's cage.
Xue Wei opened the cell door swiftly. Xu Tianze and Jiang Xue looked at the cell key in his hand and began to doubt their lives.
"Hehe, fake, fake, this is for ink." Xue Wei also felt that something was wrong with the identities around him. After all, Dai Nian had just taken out a key, and it was indeed a bit strange for him to take out this key again.
Xu Tianze rolled his eyes and walked in, but he was quite cool. When he met Jiang Xue's gaze, he didn't know what to say.
Seeing Xu Tianze's silence, Jiang Xue was the first to laugh out loud: "What? You just heard a lot, and now you have nothing to say?"
Xu Tianze nodded. He knew that Jiang Xue was always very smart. Since Xuedie took the initiative to expose herself, Jiang Xue could naturally guess that they had been here for a long time.
He really had nothing more to say, and he had no questions to ask Jiang Xue. The two of them had already reached the point of life and death. Sympathizing with the enemy would be cruel to himself, even if the enemy was indeed pitiful.
"Why are you so nice to me?" Seeing that Xu Tianze didn't say anything, Jiang Xue naturally knew that Xu Tianze no longer had anything to say to her, but she did.
Xu Tianze grew up under the care of his family. The Xu family, which was favored by the emperor, was not someone that anyone could mess with, but Xu Tianze took good care of her.
Even such thoughtfulness made her a little unbelievable. She didn't understand that even if it was just sympathy, it shouldn't be possible to do this for her.
Facing Jiang Xue's question, Xu Tianze's eyes were filled with reminiscence, but his tone was indifferent: "Why so many whys? I just want to be good to you, so I'll be good to you."
Jiang Xue looked up at him, which reminded Xu Tianze of the first time he saw Jiang Xue. She seemed to be lying on the ground with her head tilted up, looking very dirty.
Even though her hands were scratched, she still asked him innocently if he was a little fairy. She had never seen anyone as handsome as him.
Xu Tianze smiled and teased her, saying that he was a little fairy who had just come down from heaven, and asked her what her wish was.
Jiang Xue said at the time that she hoped he could cure her maid's illness. He followed her to the house and saw the dilapidated woodshed, which led to a series of events that followed.
Now, many years later, the man looked up at her again and asked her why he was so nice to her.
"I know what you want to ask, but I won't tell you who is behind the Jiang family." After hearing what Xu Tianze said, Jiang Xue's heart trembled. After some hesitation, she gave up telling Xu Tianze the news about the person behind the scenes.
Instead of knowing it, it is better to think that the Jiang family is the culprit. This way, the Xu family can be vindicated and the hatred in their hearts can be relieved, and Xu Tianze's safety can be guaranteed.
Xu Tianze had never thought of asking these questions. Since the person in the palace was ready to take action against the Jiang family, who was behind the Jiang family and what was the situation? Naturally, someone would be able to deal with it.
He had already seen this man, and he knew everything he wanted to know and didn't want to know. He had no desire to stay anymore. Thinking of this, Xu Tianze walked out of the cell on his own.
"Brother Tianze, I'm sorry." Seeing Xu Tianze was about to leave, Jiang Xue called out to him, but she hadn't called him by this name for a long time, so it felt a bit strange and uncomfortable.
"You don't have to say sorry to me. You and I have been in an antagonistic relationship for a long time. I will not forgive what you did to me, and you don't have to forgive me for anything." Xu Tianze turned his back to Jiang Xue, said this, and left.
Jiang Xue listened to Xu Tianze's words. Although her face was full of sadness, she felt a little relieved in her heart. Xu Tianze's last words were spoken to her and also to himself.
At this point, there was no need to worry about right or wrong. However, when Jiang Xue turned around and saw the small jar of osmanthus cream on the table, she couldn't hold back her tears.
She rubbed the jar with her fingers. Although it was not newly made in September this year, she probably couldn't wait until that time. Last year's was already very good.
