Jiang Yuzhu was almost pointing at her nose to identify herself, but Jiang Huaiqing still didn't recognize her.
"Who am I? I'm your aunt!"
Is it because the makeup is too successful?
Jiang Yuzhu changed her tone, and this time Jiang Huaiqing finally stepped forward after being shocked, and stammered, "Little sister?"
"Second brother, it's me!"
When Jiang Yuzhu saw the relatives she was looking for, she cried with joy. She really had to thank Nanny Ying. If she had not been locked up in the woodshed, she would definitely have missed the opportunity to recognize her second brother.
"Today is the Millennium Festival. I took advantage of the chaos to come to your house with my husband, just to confirm whether the male favorite of the city lord's sister is you."
Fortunately not.
Jiang Yuzhu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Little sister, did you have the chance to enter the backyard and meet Manager Sha?"
Jiang Huaiqing hid for several days and had limited access to the backyard.
"Yes."
Not only did he see her, but he also successfully completed the encounter and was even noticed.
"If not for this, do you think I would be imprisoned here?"
Since she had reunited with Jiang Huaiqing, Jiang Yuzhu did not plan to delay. After notifying Xie Zhao, she found someone to replace Qi Lin as soon as possible.
Jiang Huaiqing opened the door of the woodshed, looked around, and then lowered his voice and said, "Little sister, you go out first, second brother stay."
"Why are you staying here? It's so dangerous!"
Jiang Yuzhu grabbed Jiang Huaiqing's sleeve and saw that the oil stain on the sleeve had already shone brightly, and she showed a look of disgust.
Rather than suffering in Si Shui City, it is better to return to the border town as soon as possible.
"Since you disappeared, Princess Yutan has lost her appetite. She is also injured and needs to recuperate for a while."
Jiang Yuzhu tried to persuade her second brother, but Jiang Huaiqing said helplessly, "Little sister, the city lord's sister has a scholar who goes on hunger strike in her backyard. Do you know who he is?"
"Love whoever you want!"
As long as it wasn't her second brother, Jiang Yuzhu didn't care at all.
She noticed that Jiang Huaiqing's expression was different and asked suspiciously, "Looking at your expression, could it be your brother?"
"Not only my brother, but your brother as well."
Jiang Huaiqing rubbed the beard on his face. He rubbed it too hard and a clump of it fell off. He hurriedly glued it back on in a hurry.
Jiang Yuzhu, who witnessed everything: "..."
He didn't reveal any flaws, I can only say that my second brother is really lucky.
"It's my cousin. He was arrested."
This cousin is not Lu Yunxi, but Chen Tao, the nephew of my mother Chen.
Chen Tao is a rigid person, but he also pursues knowledge. In short, he is very strange.
"Before the war between the two countries began, my cousin came to Sishui City, just to understand the local customs and write a travelogue. Unexpectedly, because of his elegant appearance, he was noticed by the city lord's daughter and taken back to her mansion."
It was a coincidence that the servant of his cousin Chen Tao lived in the small village where Jiang Huaiqing was hiding.
With Chen Tao's personality, how could he be willing to be a male concubine?
If a man of letters were forced to do something, he would probably die.
"A few days ago, wanted posters were everywhere in Sishui City. I couldn't stay in the village any longer, so I found a way to sneak into the City Lord's Mansion."
Jiang Huaiqing explained the whole story. He saw the opportunity today and was looking for a chance to rescue his cousin.
"That's...what a coincidence."
Thinking of Chen Tao, Jiang Yuzhu also felt a headache.
Her cousin was old-fashioned and picky, and he was full of the pedantry of a scholar.
A few years ago, Jiang Yuzhu was arranged to be married to Xie Zhao. On the wedding day, Chen Tao drank a lot of wine. He was a man who always strictly observed etiquette, but he actually warned Xie Zhao that if Xie Zhao treated Jiang Yuzhu badly, not only would the Jiang family disapprove, but the Chen family would not sit idly by either.
"Your cousin is the best to you. Even though you tore up the paper he treasured, he didn't even scold you."
It can be said that the Chen family also played an indispensable role in the original owner's development of such a willful character.
Although the cousins are far away from each other, their affection is still there.
A few years ago, when Chen Tao learned that Jiang Yuzhu was deeply in love with Lu Yunxi, he had tried to persuade her several times.
"My cousin said that with our Jiang family's background and my looks, I can pick any man I want. Lu Yunxi has a poor character and is not a good match."
Jiang Yuzhu has such a memory. Looking back now, she feels that Chen Tao's vision was very accurate.
"Second brother, let's figure out how to rescue my cousin!"
Jiang Yuzhu suddenly remembered that Lu Yunxi was the root of trouble. The Chen family must sever ties with the Lu family, and the first thing they had to do was to kick the Chen family out.
Jiang Yuzhu's few words alone are not enough to control the Chen family.
She can't do it, but her cousin Chen Tao has the ability!
"With my husband here, he will definitely find a way."
Xie Zhao recognized Chen Tao, who had disguised himself as a doctor and sneaked into the backyard of the city lord's sister.
"Why don't we protect ourselves first and wait for someone at the corner gate."
Without anyone to restrain him, Xie Zhao could show his talents freely.
If the brother and sister studied the plan but could not send the letter to Xie Zhao in time, Xie Zhao's arrangements would be disrupted.
"Okay."
Jiang Huaiqing naturally trusted Xie Zhao's ability. He stood up and waved at Jiang Yuzhu, saying, "Little sister, come with me."
There is a small space inside the woodshed.
Jiang Huaiqing moved the firewood in the corner, revealing a hole.
Then he cleared away the rubble above the cave entrance and took out a silk package.
"What is this? It has a strange shape."
Jiang Yuzhu stared at the package. Inside was a relatively large golden pot, inlaid with red and green gems all around, and it was worth a lot of money.
It doesn't look like a teapot.
Jiang Huaiqing twitched his eyelids and lied casually, "It's the city lord's teapot. He's big and drinks a lot of water."
Jiang Huaiqing remained calm when someone called the urinal a teapot. One is for drinking water and the other is for dispensing water, so there is not much difference.
Next, he poured out all kinds of treasures from the urinal.
Some of them are valuable, and some look ordinary.
"This is my second brother's spoils from the past few days!"
Jiang Huaiqing was on the run and committing crimes. If he were given a few more days, he could get more treasures.
Especially the urinal, which is made of gold and is very valuable.
If the toilet bowl wasn't too big and difficult to carry, Jiang Huaiqing would have taken the city lord's toilet bowl made entirely of gold!
After discussing it, the brother and sister wrapped the things in cloth and put them into the cart loaded with firewood.
The badge given by Manager Sha was taken away by Nanny Ying. Fortunately, Jiang Huaiqing had one. He took Jiang Yuzhu straight to the back door and did not encounter anyone to question him along the way.
"Oh no, there's a fire in the backyard, go and help!"
Before the brother and sister reached the corner gate, they saw black smoke rising from a courtyard in the City Lord's Mansion.
The maids and servants hurried towards the house where the fire had broken out, and no one paid any attention to the brother and sister.
With one breath, Jiang Yuzhu successfully passed the customs and left the City Lord's Mansion with Jiang Huaiqing.
At the corner gate, the carriage was ready.
Qi Lin was already waiting inside the carriage when he lifted the curtain. Seeing Jiang Yuzhu coming out, he excitedly said, "Godmother, I knew you were okay!"
Then Qi Lin blinked and said, "Your little secret, your son didn't tell your godfather."
"Little sister, when will you adopt a godson?"
Jiang Huaiqing looked at Qi Lin and said critically, "He's a bit old. It's better to raise him well than a younger one."
