She didn't expect Xiao Hechuan to come, she really didn't expect it.
He stood in the yard with his back straight, looking at himself with a gentle smile, as if the intrigues around him had nothing to do with him, giving people an incomparable sense of security.
At this moment, Jiang Sui was truly moved. It seemed as if something was quietly sprouting deep in her heart, and was about to break out of the ground uncontrollably.
Jiang Sui walked down the stairs holding up her skirt and ran towards him.
She really wanted to throw herself into his arms, but she was afraid that Xiao Hechuan would not catch her. If she was being too sentimental, she would end up falling flat on her face. How embarrassing that would be.
She stood in front of him, looking up and talking to him. Who could blame him for being so tall?
"Why are you here too?" Jiang Sui's tone was excited.
"You are my wife, and my wife is in trouble. If I don't come, who do you want to come?" Xiao Hechuan's tone was quite light.
There was no mention of how much effort he had put into finding this place.
"I've been missing for a day and a night. My mother and the others must be worried sick, right?"
Jiang Sui could imagine what a mess the family must be in.
Xiao Hechuan touched her head like he was touching a kitten, and he explained with a smile:
"They don't know you were kidnapped. I told them that you and Miss Xia got along very well. Miss Xia was going back to Beijing soon and couldn't bear to let you go, so she let you stay with her for one more day. Fortunately, you are fine, otherwise I really don't know how to explain to my family."
He spoke so nonchalantly that Jiang Sui once thought that he had really just been playing outside for a day and a night.
In fact, she did not suffer much injustice, and she turned a disaster into a blessing. She established a deep revolutionary friendship with Xia Wanning and got one thousand taels of silver for free.
Xia Wan Ning looked at this talented and beautiful couple from behind and was very envious. Jiang Sui's husband was so good to her.
A loving couple like them leads an ordinary life every day, with a sweet life and enough food and drink to do, which is something many people envy.
The guards prepared two carriages to escort Xia Wanning and Jiang Sui and his wife back to the capital.
Xia Wanning had a carriage for herself, and the young couple had another.
In the carriage, Xiao Hechuan took the initiative to hold Jiang Sui's hand and asked her if she was injured.
Jiang Sui told him that the kidnappers were quite polite to them and she was not harmed.
She also told Xiao Hechuan in a quirky way that she earned one thousand taels of silver from a few play scripts.
"I think you don't need to attend any poetry meeting. I have the money to pay your tuition." Jiang Sui was very proud.
Xiao Hechuan couldn't help laughing when he heard this:
"My wife has to pay for my studies, so I am no longer a gigolo, am I?
You should keep this 1,000 taels of silver for yourself. You don't have to give it to mother or let them know. This is your confidence. Don't always think about giving it away as a gift. You have done enough. Miss Xia and Mr. He are not ordinary people. It will be beneficial for you to be on good terms with Miss Xia in the future."
He also started to teach Jiang Sui and told her these profound truths, which made Jiang Sui feel a little guilty.
If he knew that she married him and became friends with Xia Wanning out of selfish motives, he probably wouldn't have said that.
She also did not deny that she just wanted to curry favor with others, to curry favor with as many people as possible, so that she could live a life of being protected by others in the future.
But he was right. After getting the one thousand taels of silver note, you should not take it out easily. With this one thousand taels, you will feel more confident.
…
After returning to Jeju, Helian Jing's troubles had been resolved.
When those officials knew that their hostages and bargaining chips had been rescued, they looked as pale as death, and became like fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others.
Now, not only did he lose his wife and his soldiers, but he was also charged with kidnapping the daughter of the marquis.
Helian Jing didn't think highly of them at all, he was just dragging them along.
The simple solution to the problem this time was inseparable from Xiao Hechuan’s help.
Now that the matter has been resolved, Xiao Hechuan is ready to take Jiang Sui home. He doesn't want to pursue the matter of Jiang Sui being innocently implicated too much.
Firstly, due to Helian Jing's identity, and secondly, because of Helian Jing's identity, Xiao Hechuan got to know him in advance in this life and successfully made him see his own value. This is enough. Sometimes wanting too much will backfire.
"Because of Mr. He, Madam Jiang was implicated for no reason. I feel really bad about it. I will send someone to prepare generous gifts to visit her the next day."
"There's no need to offer condolences. Miss Xia has already compensated us. We are not greedy people. My wife hasn't been home for a day and a night. To prevent her family from worrying, I will take her back first. Goodbye."
Xiao Hechuan rejected Helian Jing's kindness.
After all, Jiang Sui had already accepted Xia Wanning's banknotes, and it was a bit improper for Jiang Sui to take it. She just copied a few modern drama scripts for her, and it had nothing to do with her.
This time I was kidnapped for no reason, but luckily nothing happened. I paid the money and it was considered even.
Before leaving, Helian Jing called Xiao Hechuan alone.
"Wait a minute, Brother Xiao. I want to talk to you in private. Would you mind giving me a favor?"
Helian Jing was eager to recruit talented people and didn't want to alienate himself from a talent like Xiao Hechuan, so he put down his airs and used words like "honoring the honor".
He only admitted that he was an official specially sent by Kyoto to Jeju to investigate a corruption case, and he did not reveal his identity as a prince. But this alone was already very sincere for Xiao Hechuan, who was still doing nothing.
