Chapter 413 My Family
Song Wan'er paused.
She didn't expect Jiang Hao to respond so quickly.
It was as if he had been waiting for her to call him.
"Don't blame Butler Liu and the others." Song Wan'er knew Jiang Hao was not a man to be trifled with. He was very strict with his subordinates, so she couldn't help but worry that the guards would be punished by him. So she added, "At that time, the enemy outnumbered us. Even if they risked their lives, it would be useless. If you want to blame..."
Just when Jiang Hao thought Song Wan'er was about to say something like "blame me", she suddenly changed the subject and said, "If you want to blame someone, blame Prince Rui. Don't blame Butler Liu and the others, and don't blame me."
Jiang Hao was suddenly angry and amused, and turned back to walk in front of Song Wan'er.
The latter thought he couldn't help but hit her and couldn't help but flinch.
"What are you hiding from?"
Jiang Hao couldn't help but frown when he saw this.
When she was in the general's mansion, Song Wan'er never hid.
Because she wasn't afraid at all that he would do it.
During these few days in Prince Rui's Mansion, the delicate girl must have been frightened a lot.
Even she, who was fearless, became a frightened bird.
"I...I didn't hide." Seeing that Jiang Hao had no intention of attacking her, Song Wan'er suddenly felt that she had been too cowardly to dodge. She immediately denied it and even blamed him: "Why did you suddenly come back? If you want to talk, just talk. Is it necessary to get so close? I thought you suddenly went crazy and wanted to molest me!"
Jiang Hao was talking nonsense here. He raised his hand and took out a black jade bottle from his arms and handed it to her, "Your things, keep them safe."
"Why is this here with you?"
When Song Wan'er saw this black jade bottle, a look of surprise suddenly appeared in her eyes.
She has been studying medicine and poisons in recent years and has created many strange things. This time when she went to Xizhou, she brought a few of her most proud ones to ensure her safety. Unfortunately, she met King Rui's men, and these good things were forcibly searched and taken away before she could use them.
Song Wan'er was unhappy in Prince Rui's Mansion. Seven parts of her mood was because she was captured and imprisoned, and three parts was because all her treasures were gone.
At this moment, Jiang Hao suddenly took out the most important black jade bottle, and Song Wan'er held it in her hands as if it were a treasure.
Jiang Hao looked at her happy expression after recovering what she had lost, and whispered, "I found it."
Song Wan'er was so angry that she cursed loudly: "I knew that these people in the Rui Palace didn't know the value of things! Damn it! They actually threw away all my treasures!"
She becomes more lively when she scolds people.
Jiang Hao was more accustomed to her like this.
After Song Wan'er finished scolding King Rui's men, she looked at Jiang Hao eagerly, "You must have picked up more than just this one bottle, right? What about the others? Did you pick them up as well?"
"No."
Jiang Hao still only said two words.
King Rui threw away a black jade bottle that day.
If there were other ones, he wouldn't have picked up just one bottle.
At that time, Prince Rui also said that he didn't realize that General Pingxi was a person who would even pick up small things around his wife.
“How can you only pick up…”
Song Wan'er originally wanted to blame Jiang Hao for not picking them all up, but halfway through her words, she felt that she seemed to be being unreasonable and stopped herself.
It's better to pick up one bottle than none at all.
"Okay, hurry up and go." Song Wan'er tried to act more calm, "Remember to rescue Butler Liu and the others as soon as possible."
Jiang Hao looked at Song Wan'er deeply and said, "Those are my people. You don't need to worry about them."
Song Wan'er glared at him, "Then remember to save your people, don't take your men's lives lightly."
Jiang Hao was speechless. "When did I stop taking my subordinates' lives seriously?"
He just wants power, he is not completely inhumane.
"That's all I'm saying." Song Wan'er said, "Jiang Hao, remember to be a human being, not a beast."
Jiang Hao was so angry when he saw Song Wan'er saying this seriously that he was speechless and turned around and left.
“Hey…” Song Wan’er saw him walking away quickly without even looking back, and couldn’t help but mutter, “Is this guy still not willing to listen to good words?”
Jiang Hao was so angry that his steps were flying, thinking: Song Wan'er would be more likable if she kept her mouth shut.
He went to the front to meet Princess Rui and directly asked to take Liu Yi and others away.
Prince Rui has already told the princess that except for Song Wan'er who must be kept in his hands, the others will be at Jiang Hao's disposal.
Princess Rui was happy to do the favor and acted very easy to talk to. She immediately ordered someone to bring Liu Yi and the others up and return them to Jiang Hao. "Everyone is here. I will return them to the general."
"Thank you, Princess."
Jiang Hao clasped his fists and bowed, then took Liu Yi and others out of Prince Rui's Mansion and returned to the General's Mansion.
As soon as they entered the General's Mansion, Butler Liu and the others knelt down in unison. "We have failed to do our job well and protect the Madam. Please punish us, General!"
Liu Yi and others were really ashamed and couldn't even raise their heads. They originally went to protect the lady, but in the critical moment, the lady had to protect them in turn and negotiate terms with King Rui's people.
The first thing Jiang Hao asked was, "Madam said two people were seriously injured. Who were they? Where were they injured?"
The people kneeling on the ground were stunned when they heard this.
Jiang Hao is a man who clearly distinguishes between rewards and punishments. Brothers are brothers, but if a job is messed up, they will be punished the same way.
But this time, he did not mention punishment, but instead asked about their injuries.
"Gangzi's arm was broken, and Erhu was stabbed in the abdomen..."
Butler Liu was the first to react and answered for the brothers.
The others also said, "Thanks to Madam for negotiating with King Rui's men, we were spared."
"Madam, you are protecting our own people. The people from Prince Rui's Mansion are also treating our injuries."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao asked them to stand up first, and then asked, "What exactly happened at that time?"
Butler Liu then talked about that night when they and their group secretly followed the lady to a remote place. The lady discovered that they were following her and forced them to go back. As a result, King Rui's men suddenly emerged from the mountains and forests.
There were hundreds of people, just like ghosts, appearing out of nowhere.
At that time, the lady pretended to surrender and helped them capture the leading man in black.
It turned out that Prince Rui was a good-for-nothing, and neither were his subordinates. Those men in black didn't care about their leader's life or death, and probably even wanted him to die soon so they could take the opportunity to take power. Liu Yi had captured the leader but couldn't escape from those hundreds of people.
They had originally prepared to risk their lives to allow the lady to escape alone, but to save their lives, the lady put a knife to her own neck and said, "If anyone in my family dies, even just one, I will die here. I wonder what you will have to say to your master!"
King Rui's men had no choice. After all, Song Wan'er was useful, but she was only useful if she was alive. If she died, not only would she lose her value, but Jiang Hao and the Song family would also be doomed to fail.
So the men in black had to agree to Song Wan'er's conditions and spare the lives of Liu Yi and others.
Jiang Hao listened for a while before speaking: "She said you are 'my family'."
What about him?
Is he also Song Wan'er's man?
