Chapter 114: Say What You Did
Shen didn't hear the couple's conversation. Seeing that Jiang Yuzhu's eyes were filled with tears, Shen started beating her without saying a word.
"You're not at home on weekdays, and you make Yuzhu angry when you come back!"
The Shen family originally came from a prominent family and they always attached great importance to rules.
In the past, Shen would never do such a thing as throwing a tantrum or beating someone up.
Since coming to Beijing, Shen was somewhat influenced by the Jiang family. She found that she was free and unrestrained and lived a comfortable life.
If this is the case, why should you restrict yourself?
"We can't find Zhao Fendie, and we are in a hurry, but you are just using your calculations to make things worse!"
When Shen took action, she showed mercy because she was worried that the bruises on her son's face would be blamed on her daughter-in-law.
People in the capital didn't know what was going on, and they habitually put all the blame on the Jiang family.
Shen's hand turned halfway and went straight to Xie Zhao's butt.
Xie Zhao was surprised. He had been thirty years old for several years and had never been beaten. This was the first time.
To hide or not?
Xie Zhao dodged without thinking, as spanking was more humiliating than slapping in the face.
At this critical moment, Jiang Yuzhu said softly: "Master, you have always been a filial son, although it was my mother who misunderstood..."
Xie Zhao's eyelids jumped violently. His wife used the word "filial son" to block his way out.
Soon, Xie Zhao was hit hard, and an expression of regret, shock, etc. flashed in his eyes for a moment, and his eyes were obscure and difficult to read.
He was the Jingzhao Yin, a third-rank official, but he was still being chased and spanked by his own mother in his twenties?
Jiang Yuzhu turned around and ignored Xie Zhao, but said to Shen: "Mother, it's the daughter-in-law's fault. I shouldn't ask my husband."
When Shen learned the whole story, she shook her head and sighed softly.
His son Xie Zhao had been well-read since childhood, was good at calculations, and had never made a mistake.
Every time Shen wanted to discipline her son, she found that she was of no use at all.
When it came to studying for the imperial examinations and pursuing a career in officialdom, Xie Zhao never worried his mother Shen about anything. However, he was indifferent and seemed a little cold when it came to love affairs.
"Yuanhe, mother believes that you have figured it out and have sent people to investigate, but you are wrong in two points."
The most difficult thing to calculate in the world is the human heart. After all, human nature is fickle. Thinking that you can win the battle thousands miles away is the biggest mistake!
"Zhao Fendie was abducted, and the other party had a hostage in hand. Yuzhu was inevitably tied up. You clearly knew that she was anxious, so why did you ask her to be as calm as you?"
"Secondly, you don't know how to be considerate of Yuzhu. You can keep your composure because Zhao Fendie is not an important person to you!"
Shen casually listed several of Xie Zhao's crimes. She was really angry. It was a rare opportunity for her to show off, but her son was stupid and messed it up!
Finding someone is the most important thing right now, not the time to talk about these things.
While they were talking, the steward came back to report that the Jiang family had arrived.
Jiang Yuzhu lifted her skirt and trotted out to greet them. She saw Chen leading the way, followed by Jiang Huaiqing and Princess Yutan.
Princess Yutan pushed Xie Zhao, who was standing at the door, away and took Jiang Yuzhu's hand. She asked with some complaint and concern, "Yuzhu, why didn't you send a letter to the palace when such a big thing happened?"
"Girl, aren't you embarrassed to trouble your family?"
Chen didn't have the heart to scold her daughter, so she said directly, "Mother has already said that the Jiang family will always support you."
"Little sister, I'm here to deliver goose eggs, why didn't you tell me?"
After learning that Zhao Fendie was missing, Jiang Huaiqing went directly to the Ji family and the Zhao family to ask for her, and a small incident occurred at the Ji family.
Jiang Huaiqing used the excuse of visiting to break into Ji's house and go to the back house to arrest Ji Chengyun.
Ji Chengyun was having dinner in the room, and he heard someone calling "Fendie, Fendie" from inside.
Jiang Huaiqing thought that it was Ji Chengyun who caught Zhao Fendie, so he kicked the door open.
"Second brother, is Fendie in the Ji family?"
Although she knew there was little hope, Jiang Yuzhu still asked anxiously.
Jiang Huaiqing was so embarrassed, he could never forget that scene.
At the entrance, there was a woman tied up in the room. There were bowls and chopsticks on the ground. The woman was eating with her hands. Ji Chengyun whipped her and called the woman "Fendie".
This butterfly is not that butterfly.
Ji Chengyun hated Zhao Fendie, and to vent his anger, he tied up a maid named "Fendie" and beat her.
Of course, these are rather obscure, so Jiang Huaiqing chose to gloss over them.
Xie Zhao saw Jiang Huaiqing's embarrassment. In fact, this was the reason why he did not bring his wife to visit Ji's mansion at night.
Zhao Fendie was not at the Ji family and had nothing to do with Ji Chengyun, so she shouldn't have shown Jiang Yuzhu those dirty things.
Xie Zhao hasn't figured it out yet. He has done everything he should do, so why is he still not liked by his wife?
Chen saw that her daughter felt a little aggrieved, and said distressedly: "Yuzhu, your elder brother has taken people to the Zhao family, why don't you go back to your mother's home and wait for news?"
All members of the Jiang family were mobilized, and Jiang Fulu went to the palace to ask the emperor to issue a search warrant to search the entire city.
Whenever she encountered problems, the Jiang family always gave her warmth.
Jiang Yuzhu expressed her worries: "Fendie likes the buns from that shop the most. The mastermind behind this bought the bun shop to set up a kidnapping scheme and went to such great lengths. I'm worried that Fendie is taking the blame for me."
After speaking her mind, Jiang Yuzhu felt better.
It was dim just now, and after adding a lantern in the room, Jiang Yuzhu found that Jiang Huaiqing had a wound on his face, and asked hurriedly: "Second brother, what happened to your face?"
"That coward Ji Chengyun couldn't beat me, so he called a dozen guards to outflank me."
Jiang Huaiqing touched the corner of his mouth nonchalantly, which further stimulated his determination to practice martial arts.
On the side, Princess Yu Tan snorted coldly and said, "If I can't beat you, I won't set you on fire. Can you still be bullied by the Ji family?"
Jiang Huaiqing is her man, and she will go to the Ji family to settle the score after finding Zhao Fendie.
Don’t be afraid of having accounts, just remember them first.
Jiang Huaiqing clasped his fists and said to Princess Yutan, "You still have a way."
Trespassing into the Ji Mansion is already a serious crime. Tomorrow the Ji family will definitely report the case to the Emperor.
So what, who cares?
When the sky fell, it would hit his father Jiang Fulu first, and then it would be his turn. Jiang Huaiqing felt relieved because he had someone to back him up.
The Jiang family sat together to discuss, and Xie Zhao seemed to have little presence.
Seeing this, Liang An couldn't help but help make up for it: "Princess Yutan, Madam Jiang, Second Young Master Jiang, in fact, my master has sent people to look for him for a whole day, and he also went to the palace to see the emperor."
Xie Zhao did not look for people openly, but instead sent officials to search the whole city under the pretext of checking household registration.
I have done a lot, but with little effect.
"Yuzhu, shall we go back to the Jiang family?"
After a moment of silence, Chen asked.
Shen's heart was in her throat, she hated her son for not having a mouth. If he did something, he should tell it, otherwise how would others know?
Jiang Yuzhu frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and shook her head: "Mom, I won't go back yet."
She knew very well that the Jiang family was not as well-informed as Xie Zhao.
The best plan now is to find Zhao Fendie, and personal grudges can be put aside for the time being.
After Jiang Yuzhu expressed her opinion, Shen breathed a long sigh of relief, lamenting that her daughter-in-law was sensible, but also hated Xie Zhao for being ignorant of the ways of the world.
As the group was discussing, Mo Qianyu came with big strides. He threw a dead pigeon and went straight towards Xie Zhao.
Xie Zhao raised his hand and took it easily, pulling out the strip of cloth tied to the pigeon's feet: "Is this a map?"
