Chapter 143 Playing a Big Game
Lu Yunxi secretly sized up Jiang Yuzhu and politely saluted, "It's not a coincidence."
The servant behind him snorted coldly, saying in a strange tone, "Cousin, you are so busy that you may not know that my son is teaching at Qingzhu Academy now."
Jiang Yuzhu was slightly surprised, and said politely, "Cousin, your health is the most important thing. You are thinner than last time, so you should take good care of yourself."
It is said that appearance reflects the heart. Every time Jiang Yuzhu and Lu Yunxi meet, it always feels that something is deliberate.
Lu Yunxi's smile only appeared on the surface and never reached her eyes. People who don't reveal their emotions are not simple. Jiang Yuzhu avoided her instinctively.
The servant raised his eyebrows in disdain, and spoke up for his master: "Ever since the master saved you from serious injuries, your health has not improved."
Jiang Yuzhu is so heartless. She just gave the man some supplements and then sent him away. The favor of saving his life is lighter than a goose feather.
Unfortunately, the young master never complained, which made the servant anxious.
The servant's words were ambiguous, but Jiang Yuzhu raised her eyebrows and remained indifferent, watching the atmosphere become dull.
Lu Yunxi waved to the servant, and then showed a trace of worry: "I just saw Master Xuan, and Master Xuan threatened to make the Jiang and Xie families suffer. Cousin, are you..."
The Xuan family members are all petty and vindictive, and if you offend them, there will be endless trouble.
Lu Yunxi received the news from Bicui that Xuan Yao gave the peony headdress customized by Jiang Yuzhu to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother was furious and directly locked her most doted niece in a small Buddhist temple and made her kneel for three days.
The Queen Mother was already furious, and if Xuan Qi complained, it would surely cause even greater rage.
"Cousin, I have some connections with the Xuan family, so I can help you a little."
Lu Yunxi wanted to be a hero and save the beauty, so he could get close to Jiang Yuzhu and gradually win her heart.
"Since your maid has taken action, why not go and admit your mistake..."
Admit your mistake and then give a valuable gift, and big things will become small, and small things will disappear.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yuzhu looked like she didn't want to talk any more and lazily refused: "Thank you, cousin. Since it's the trouble I caused, it should be borne by my husband."
Husband and wife are one body, Xie Zhao would never force her to admit her mistake. What kind of relative is a cousin? Jiang Yuzhu cannot afford such "kindness".
Right now Jiang Yuzhu has only one wish, that Lu Yunxi disappears from her sight and that they never meet again.
Xie Xuan, who was sitting in the carriage, couldn't bear to listen any longer as the two talked, so he leaned over and said, "Third sister-in-law, it's getting late, Third brother must be waiting for us to have dinner together."
With the stairs, Jiang Yuzhu patted her head and said, "Yes, my husband and I have agreed to leave first. I'm sorry, cousin."
The carriage went farther and farther along the path. Lu Yunxi smiled meaningfully, and said sadly, "Jiang Yuzhu is becoming more and more interesting."
The servant knew nothing about it and said angrily, "Sir, you loved your cousin so deeply, but you gave your heart to the wrong person!"
This relative is useless and makes you sad. It is better to cut off the relationship as soon as possible!
At dusk, Jiang Yuzhu's carriage finally returned to Xie's house and entered the second gate.
Shen had been waiting for a while. She held Jiang Yuzhu's hand and looked at her. Her heart was relieved: "Yuzhu, your parents, brother and sister-in-law are here. They are in the reception room in the front yard."
Jiang Yuzhu bullied Xuan Yao and beat Xuan Qi, and offended the Xuan family.
There are no secrets in the capital city. The news had already spread and everyone in the high-ranking families knew about it.
After the Jiang family got the news, all members went into battle and pulled several carriages full of stuff.
Seeing her daughter intact, Chen was relieved: "Yuzhu, your grandfather and grandmother are both in the northwest. You haven't seen them for many years. Why don't you go to the northwest to visit them?"
The situation in the capital was still unclear, and the Xuan family had been offended so quickly.
Chen was worried that she would suffer a loss if she confronted him head-on, so she thought about sending her daughter out of the city early the next morning and letting the rest of the Jiang family handle it.
Jiang Fulu, still in his official uniform, said lovingly, "A while ago, I received a letter from my hometown in the northwest, and he mentioned returning home."
Jiang Huaiqing had already packed his bag and volunteered: "Little sister, second brother will take you there."
This time when they were preparing to go on a long journey, Jiang Huaiqing, a member of the Jiang family, was not trustworthy, so he specially made a small cage for Honghong to take with him on the journey.
Let’s leave the capital first. Someone will always clean up the mess.
Xiao Jinbao also came and said seriously: "Aunt, when I grow up, I will help you drive away the bad guys!"
He heard everything his parents said. The bad guys are too powerful.
Xiao Jinbao felt a little worried when he looked at his small body which was not even as tall as the table.
The Jiang family acted quickly and arranged all of Jiang Yuzhu's escape routes within a few hours.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuzhu felt sad: "Dad and Mom, I won't leave."
Hiding can only solve temporary problems, the root problem still exists.
Since she had chosen a head-on collision, Jiang Yuzhu had already thought of a countermeasure.
The reason why the Queen Mother favors Jiang Yuzhu is because she is lucky and blessed. As long as this is confirmed many times, nothing will go wrong.
Jiang Fulu knitted his brows into a knot and said, "Yuzhu, given the status of the Jiang family, the Queen Mother won't dare to do anything, but you will inevitably suffer a little."
The Jiang family pampered their daughter. When Jiang Yuzhu was a child, she caught a cold after being caught in the rain. Jiang Fulu and Chen blamed themselves for a month.
Even if his daughter was punished to copy a scripture, Jiang Fulu refused to do it!
While the group was discussing, Xie Zhao led Liang An into the reception room.
"Father-in-law, Yuzhu is standing up for my fifth brother. I have no choice but to take responsibility for this matter."
Sending her to the northwest would take two months. What if Jiang Yuzhu likes the climate and soil of the northwest and stays there for a while? Wouldn't he not be able to see his wife for a year or two?
When Xie Zhao heard what the Jiang family meant, he rushed over from the yamen without stopping.
With Xie Zhao around, everyone immediately felt much calmer.
Shen ordered the maid to pour tea and said, "Miss Xuan is the niece of the Queen Mother. Because she gave me jewelry that I didn't like, she was punished to kneel and copy Buddhist scriptures for three days."
Shen was certainly reluctant to send her daughter-in-law away, but she was even more unwilling to see Jiang Yuzhu being punished.
Xie Zhao glanced at the sky and said in a relaxed tone: "Yuzhu, follow your husband into the palace tonight."
Instead of sitting and waiting for death, it is better to take the initiative. Tonight is a good opportunity.
Jiang Yuzhu believed Xie Zhao, but the time she chose was different: "The Queen Mother is going to celebrate her birthday, and I wanted to design a fish biting a lotus as a good omen..."
In front of everyone, Xie Zhao stroked the hair by Jiang Yuzhu's ears, looking calm and confident, "Yuzhu, your husband will never let you suffer any injustice."
The Empress Dowager has done many sinful things and is extremely superstitious.
When confronted with the Xuan family, even if the Queen Mother did not take action, the Xuan family would cling to them like blood-sucking leeches.
If you want to get rid of her, you have to rely on the Queen Mother to help you.
Jiang Fulu stroked his beard, not believing that Xie Zhao was smarter than him: "The Queen Mother is from the Xuan family, how could she be so tactful?"
"Not in the past, but in the future..."
There was a gleam of calculation in Xie Zhao's eyes, and he only used the most brutal means to intimidate the empress dowager.
It's his wife's fault for being so worrying. What if he can't take care of her and Jiang Yuzhu suffers?
Seeing the right opportunity, Xie Zhao was ready to make a big move to solve the problem once and for all.
He opened the package and found a simple and worn kite inside. Under the kite was a long string.
