Chapter 36 They Have No Curfew
He Nanzhou went to open the door, but Jiang Yangping didn't come in. He just greeted Jian Yunsang who was also walking over.
Then he said to He Nanzhou, "Boss He, when I went to the He family, I met the chairman and his wife. Boss He asked about the result of this trip to Lingcheng, and I told him directly."
He didn't mention going to Lingcheng to look for Chaochao, for fear that Jian Yunsang didn't know yet.
Unexpectedly, after he said this, He Nanzhou, who was about to take the suitcase, paused, and then looked at Jian Yunsang. Both of them had very... weird expressions.
He Nanzhou held his forehead with his hand. It seemed that he had forgotten to inform others about finding Chaochao.
He understood Jian Yunsang's feelings. Now that she had found her child, all her thoughts were on her. She only thought about whether she was living well and whether she had enough to eat. Everything else had to be put aside.
"Mr. He?" Jiang Yangping looked at the two of them in confusion. Why did he feel that Mr. He and Miss Jian were acting strangely today?
However, it seems that Mr. He and Miss Jian have reconciled, otherwise he would not be able to move into Yuhua Community.
Just as he was thinking this, he saw a small head suddenly appear next to Jian Yunsang, looking up at him with some curiosity and timidity.
Jiang Yangping, “!!!” What’s going on?
"Mr. He, this is..." Could it be that they have decided to give up looking for Chao Chao, so they adopted one?
Jiang Yangping knew Chao Chao, but they were not his biological parents after all, and he hadn't seen her for two years, so his memory of her appearance had become blurry. Moreover, Chao Chao didn't look like a five-year-old child at all, she was very thin, so he didn't think of her as a child. Moreover, he and Mr. He had just returned from Lingcheng today, and the result was not satisfactory.
He Nanzhou waved to Chao Chao, "Come here, Chao Chao, this is your Uncle Jiang."
Chao Chao took He Nanzhou's hand and looked at Jiang Yangping in confusion, "Uncle Jiang?"
"Uncle Jiang is Dad's personal assistant, helping Dad with some daily chores. He used to hold you in his arms and buy you delicious food."
Chao Chao then obediently called out, "Uncle Jiang."
Jiang Yangping, "..."
He stared in disbelief. What did he just hear? What did Mr. He call her?
He looked at He Nanzhou, then at Chao Chao. After a while, he seemed to find his voice, "This is, this is Chao Chao?!"
"Yes, it was Sangsang who found it and just came back."
Jiang Yangping swallowed hard. This, this, this, he found it already? This was too sudden. He was not mentally prepared at all.
When Jiang Yangping left, he was still in a daze. He even felt that it would be more reasonable for Mr. He to adopt another child.
The door closed again, and Jian Yunsang looked at He Nanzhou, coughed lightly and said, "How about calling your parents to tell them about Chao Chao's return?"
He Nanzhou thought about it and shook his head. "Let's talk to them tomorrow. They will definitely be eager to come over and see us. It's not convenient now because it's so late. Even if we don't let them come, they will probably be so excited that they won't be able to sleep all night."
The elderly don’t sleep much to begin with, and after all this work they will definitely be lack of energy tomorrow.
"What about your parents?"
Jian Yunsang shook her head. "Let's talk about it tomorrow. They..." She paused and finally said nothing.
She lowered her head, held Chao Chao's hand and said, "Let's go take a shower. It's late. It's time to go to bed."
He Nanzhou looked at the backs of the mother and daughter, was silent for a moment, and pushed the suitcase to the second bedroom.
The sky darkened the moment Chao Chao entered the bathroom.
It was not early. For the people of Daqi, it was already past bedtime.
But at this moment, there are still many people holding their eyelids open and waiting until the end.
Emperor Jingxuan was like this. He sat at the entrance of the hall, with a screen in front of him, surrounded by charcoal fire, and wearing a thick, white fox fur coat. Even though all the ministers had gone back and he was the only one left, he was unwilling to miss any news.
At this time, the sky darkened, and he stood up and walked into the hall.
After walking a few steps, he asked Cao Qing who was following behind him, "That Assistant Jiang just now, he should have come from far away, right?"
"Your Majesty, it should be."
"It seems that there is no curfew over there?" He was coming and going outside late at night, and after delivering the things, he went back under the cover of night.
Cao Qing was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to answer, he heard the emperor mutter to himself, "And that personal assistant, judging from the meaning, should be an attendant."
Cao Qing stood silently behind him, watching the emperor walking back and forth.
His godson came up to him and asked quietly, "It's so late now. Has His Majesty said which lady's place we're going to rest with today? Xing'er from Concubine Shu's palace came over earlier and said that the lady specially stewed..."
Before he could finish his words, Cao Qing interrupted him, "Shut up, Your Majesty is not going anywhere today."
I'm afraid that not only tonight, but in the near future, His Majesty's mind must be on the sky curtain, and he will not have the time to go to the harem to look for the concubines.
The young eunuch didn't dare to speak.
There was still a group of people under the sky who had not slept yet, those who firmly believed that He Nanzhou was a son-in-law.
But now they were a little confused.
"The so-called assistant who handles daily chores is an attendant, right? A son-in-law can have an attendant around him?"
"That must be because the woman is rich and can afford to be a servant to the man."
"But how come the woman doesn't even have a maid by her side?"
Everyone: "..." Well, this is a good question, and no one can answer it.
The Hu couple were both silent at this time, looking at each other with resentment and dissatisfaction on their faces.
The better Chaochao lived, the more sad they felt.
Originally, they hadn’t seen Chaochao’s father, and they thought that the mother and daughter were dependent on each other, and sooner or later they would become poor or be bullied.
As a result, a father suddenly appeared. They thought that since this father was so eager to please them, he must have married into the family and had no ability.
In the end, he still had servants to serve him. Why? That damn girl was obviously a jinx who made them unable to return home. Why could she live a good life?
Zheng slammed the table fiercely, startling Hu Baodun, who was already asleep, and he burst into tears instantly.
Hu Laifu quickly coaxed him and glared at Zheng, "Alright, alright, go to sleep quickly, we still need to find a place to stay tomorrow."
Zheng went to bed indignantly.
What they didn't know was that Hu Baodun's cry made the innkeeper stop outside their door for a moment, and then ran to find the innkeeper, "The three of them were acting sneaky. I heard them pointing at the sky and cursing several times. It's very suspicious."
"Indeed, you keep an eye on them. I will talk to the bailiff about this matter tomorrow morning." They are relatively close to Yangshu Town, so maybe the people who spread rumors and caused trouble there have come here.
