Chapter 122 No Rescue
Late in the night, Xie Zhao did not go through the main gate but climbed over the wall to enter the house. If he was seen by his mother Chen, she would definitely be frightened.
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 that 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 beside the table.
Chen put down the bird's nest porridge, turned around and took out the feather duster, her eyebrows sharp, "During the Dragon Boat Festival a while ago, the mansion just put in a batch of rat poison. Mother was worried that rats would harm the things in the warehouse, so she specially added a strong medicine. How come it doesn't work on the big rats?"
The corner of the table stopped moving. Jiang Yuzhu sat down and drank the bird's nest porridge with peace of mind, saying vaguely: "That might be the case."
Jiang Yuzhu glanced at the sky and said, "Mother, it's rare that father is not at home, why don't you go to bed early?"
On weekdays, Jiang Fulu attended court early and got up before dawn. Chen occasionally helped him out, so he never had a good night's sleep.
Chen was a person who could not hide her thoughts. Thinking of the look on Xie Zhao's face today, she hesitated for a moment and said, "Tomorrow, mother will send a steward to the Xie Mansion to deliver some supplements and inquire about the news. You stay at home."
"Mother knows that it was Yuanhe who saved you this time, but you don't have to bear 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 her mind directly: "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 passer-by."
With Xie Zhao's noble character, even if that person was not Jiang Yuzhu, Xie Zhao would still sacrifice himself to save her.
You can be thankful, grateful, and thankful, but you cannot be so sad that you have thoughts of committing suicide.
Chen's subtle advice finally made Jiang Yuzhu understand: "Mom, don't worry, I will continue to be filial to you and dad."
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 position.
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 a glimpse of the feet exposed under the table, and she suddenly realized that her daughter Yuzhu was not thinking too much and had made a private appointment with the man to meet in her house, which was very secretive.
Chen stared at the man's shoes and said meaningfully, "My daughter, your parents and brothers and sisters-in-law have protected you from the wind and rain. We only hope that you can live your life to your heart's content and not care about worldly opinions. Just be happy."
Afterwards, Chen stood up, put away the feather duster, and left in a hurry.
After going out, she 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 walked 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 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 younger sister some bird's nest porridge to soothe her nerves..."
Jiang Huaiqing's face turned red. 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 mother 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.
It was a dark night, and the candles in the room flickered.
Xie Zhao's closed eyes suddenly opened, he turned his head, 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 the slightest hint of sleepiness, and his eyes were filled with mystery.
With Jiang Yuzhu by his side, he felt calm and at peace.
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, so fragrant..."
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's drunken behavior, Xie Zhao felt that these were just minor problems for his wife.
The night was not long.
As the sky gradually brightened, there was a whistling sound of wind in the room.
Then, someone knelt down and said, "Master, the barbarians who kidnapped Zhao Fendie really went to the Wei Mansion and kidnapped Miss Wei overnight."
Xie Zhao sat up from the bed, dressed neatly, and took his men to the outer room to answer questions.
Behind the bed curtains, Jiang Yuzhu finally opened her eyes.
In fact, she had noticed something in the second half of the night, but Xie Zhao was lying next to her, and she was afraid that if she screamed, Xie Zhao would do something else.
After enduring for a while, Jiang Yuzhu fell asleep again.
She just heard that Wei Jing was captured by that group of people.
"Master, our men are following. Do you want to find a chance to rescue them?"
The subordinate knelt down to ask for instructions.
In the past, it would be understandable to look for opportunities to save people, but Wei Jing had framed Jiang Yuzhu many times, so everyone decided to ask for instructions.
Inside, Jiang Yuzhu also wanted to know Xie Zhao's answer.
Although Xie Zhao might have saved people out of righteousness and for the greater good, Jiang Yuzhu couldn't be happy. She quietly got out of bed and hid behind the screen to peek, meeting a slightly deep gaze in the darkness.
Xie Zhao retracted the playfulness on his face and said coldly: "No."
The subordinate was still a little surprised by this answer: "Master?"
If she missed the best opportunity to save people, Wei Jing would inevitably suffer.
"No."
Xie Zhao's voice was low, but exceptionally clear.
The subordinate didn't ask any more questions and quickly left.
After a while, Jiang Yuzhu came out from the inner room: "Master, did I hear you correctly? You didn't save Miss Wei?"
In the dim light, Jiang Yuzhu met Xie Zhao's deep brows and shrank back inexplicably.
Xie Zhao stood up and walked to Jiang Yuzhu with big strides, and said with a smirk, "I won't save you. Madam won't allow me to do that."
