Late at night, Xie Zhao did not go through the main gate but climbed over the wall to enter the house. If his mother Chen saw him, she would definitely be scared.
Jiang Yuzhu glanced at the shaking tablecloth, stepped forward and blocked it with her body, saying, "Mom, there was a rustling sound in the room just now. I got up to check and found it was a big rat running around."
Xie Zhao's eyes were dim, and the big rat that the lady mentioned seemed to be referring to him.
Through the gap in the table curtain, Chen's footsteps got closer and closer and stopped at the edge of the table.
Chen put down the bird's nest porridge, turned around and took out a feather duster, her brows sharp. "A while ago, during the Dragon Boat Festival, the mansion just put out a batch of rat poison. Mother was worried that rats would harm the things in the warehouse, so she added a strong poison. Why doesn't it work on the big rats?"
The corner of the table stopped moving. Jiang Yuzhu sat down calmly and drank the bird's nest porridge, saying vaguely: "That might be it."
Jiang Yuzhu glanced at the sky and said, "Mother, it's rare that Daddy is not at home, why don't you go to bed early?"
On weekdays, Jiang Fulu attended court early in the morning and got up before dawn. Chen occasionally helped him out, so he never had a good night's sleep.
Chen was someone who couldn't hide her thoughts. Thinking of Xie Zhao's expression today, she hesitated for a moment and said, "Tomorrow, my mother will send a steward to the Xie Mansion to deliver some supplements and inquire about the news. You stay home."
"Mother knows that it was Yuanhe who saved you this time, but you don't have to feel too heavy a psychological burden."
What if something happens to Xie Zhao and his daughter is upset?
Thinking of this, Chen was so worried that she couldn't sleep. She only had this one daughter, and she treated her like the apple of her eye.
The person involved was hiding under the table, so Jiang Yuzhu couldn't speak directly to her: "Mom, thanks to my husband's care, otherwise my daughter would have been slightly injured."
Chen completely ignored her daughter's words and said earnestly, "Yuzhu, life is long, but sometimes it is also short. Everything depends on fate. When fate is over, it will be over."
Seeing that Jiang Yuzhu was still in a daze, Chen said more directly: "Yuanhe is just a guest passing by."
With Xie Zhao's noble character, even if that person was not Jiang Yuzhu, Xie Zhao would sacrifice himself to save her.
You can be thankful, grateful, and thankful, but you can't be so sad that you have thoughts of suicide.
Chen's subtle advice finally made Jiang Yuzhu understand: "Don't worry, mother. I will continue to be filial to you and father."
With so much money, how could Jiang Yuzhu be so unhappy? It seemed that her mother Chen had misunderstood.
Under the table, Xie Zhao's eyes darkened and his mouth tightened. He seemed to have something blocking his chest, and for a moment he was so depressed that he couldn't breathe.
Xie Zhao carried Jiang Yuzhu on his back and quietly poked one foot out from under the table. At this moment, he only hoped to be noticed by Chen and confirm his status.
It was his problem in the past, but now Jiang Yuzhu is no longer the same person she used to be.
Chen's eyes caught sight of the feet exposed under the table, and she suddenly realized that her daughter Yuzhu was not depressed and had made a secret appointment with the man to meet at her house.
Chen stared at the man's shoes and said meaningfully, "My daughter, your parents and your brothers and sisters-in-law have protected you from the wind and rain. We only hope that you can live your life to the fullest and not worry about worldly opinions. Just be happy."
Then, Chen stood up, put away the feather duster, and left in a hurry.
After going out, I saw Hongli and other maids, and specifically instructed them: "If the young lady doesn't ask you to serve her, don't disturb her, understand?"
As soon as Chen came out of the yard, she met the two brothers Jiang Huaida and Jiang Huaiqing, followed by little Chen and little Jinbao. All the members were present.
Jiang Huaiqing hugged the big goose Honghong and complained, "Mom, didn't you say that we shouldn't disturb my little sister's rest? Why did you come here by yourself?"
They also wanted to see Jiang Yuzhu, but were stopped outside the yard.
Chen straightened her body and stared at Jiang Huaiqing: "Mother is here to give your little sister some bird's nest porridge to soothe her nerves..."
Jiang Huaiqing blushed. His mother was so unreasonable. They didn’t come here empty-handed!
"Mom, Honghong has laid eggs. I'm here to give them to my little sister!"
There was only one left, and Jiang Huaiqing couldn't bear to eat it himself.
Chen took a deep breath, suppressed her throbbing forehead, and said, "Huaiqing, go back quickly. If this continues, Honghong will not lay eggs anymore!"
Jiang Huaiqing asked in surprise, "Can Mom control Honghong to lay eggs?"
Chen's eyelids twitched. She couldn't control it, but she could change to a red one.
No matter how much you try to persuade me, if soft tactics don't work, you have to resort to hard tactics.
In the end, Chen grabbed Jiang Huaida's ear with one hand and Jiang Huaiqing's ear with the other and forcefully escaped.
Inside the room, the candlelight was dim.
Xie Zhao waited for a while, but no one spoke. When he crawled out from under the table, Jiang Yuzhu was already lying on the bed, sleeping soundly, having completely forgotten about him.
Well, he won’t leave tonight.
Xie Zhao took off his coat, pulled down the bed curtain and lay down on the outside of the bed.
The night was dark and the candles in the room flickered.
Xie Zhao's closed eyes suddenly opened, he turned his head to the side, and Jiang Yuzhu used her hands and feet to hold him in her arms like an octopus.
Her face was rosy, her red lips were slightly parted, she looked cute and innocent but not at all sleepy.
Xie Zhao looked clear-headed, without a trace of sleepiness, and his eyes were filled with mystery.
With Jiang Yuzhu by his side, he felt a sense of peace and tranquility.
Thinking of this, Xie Zhao just felt his arms itchy.
He lowered his eyes and saw Jiang Yuzhu holding his arm and chewing it, mumbling: "Wild boar meat, it smells so good..."
Xie Zhao: "..."
Not only did his wife have bad sleeping posture, she also talked in her sleep!
Thinking of his father-in-law Jiang Fulu acting crazy after getting drunk, Xie Zhao felt that these were just minor problems for his wife.
The night is not long.
As the sky gradually brightened, a whistling sound of wind could be heard in the room.
