Chapter 242 Clearance
Jiang Yuzhu was almost pointing at her nose to identify her, 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 original voice, and this time Jiang Huaiqing finally stepped forward after being shocked, and stammered, "Little sister?"
"Second brother, it's me!"
When Jiang Yuzhu saw her 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 Qianqiu 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 a chance to enter the backyard and meet Manager Sha?"
Jiang Huaiqing hid for several days and had limited access to the back house.
"Yes."
Not only did he meet her, but he also successfully completed the encounter and was even noticed by her.
"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, and second brother stays."
"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 started to shine, 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, and 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 locked up a scholar who goes on hunger strike in the 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 looked 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 with too much force, and a clump of it fell off. He hurriedly glued it back on.
Jiang Yuzhu, who witnessed everything, said: "..."
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, my cousin came to Sishui City, just to understand the local customs and write a travelogue. Unexpectedly, because of his gentle 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 scholar is forced, he will probably die.
"A few days ago, there were wanted posters everywhere in Sishui City. I couldn't stay in the village any longer, so I thought of 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 just... such a coincidence."
Thinking of Chen Tao, Jiang Yuzhu also felt a headache.
Her cousin was old-fashioned and nitpicking, and was full of the pedantry of a scholar.
A few years ago, Jiang Yuzhu was arranged to marry Xie Zhao. On the wedding day, Chen Tao drank a lot of wine. Chen Tao, who always strictly abided by etiquette, actually warned Xie Zhao that if Xie Zhao treated Jiang Yuzhu badly, not only would the Jiang family disagree, but the Chen family would not sit idly by either.
"My cousin is the best to you. He didn't even scold you for tearing up the paper that he treasured so much."
It can be said that the Chen family also played an important role in the original owner's development of such a willful character.
Although the cousins are far away from each other, the affection between them 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 the family background of our Jiang family and my appearance, I can choose any man I want. Lu Yunxi has a bad 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 our 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 to do is to kick out the Chen family.
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.
Suppose the brother and sister studied the plan but failed to send the letter to Xie Zhao in time, it would definitely disrupt Xie Zhao's arrangements.
"Okay."
Jiang Huaiqing had confidence in Xie Zhao's ability. He stood up, waved at Jiang Yuzhu and said, "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 weird shape."
Jiang Yuzhu stared at the package. Inside was a relatively large golden pot, inlaid with red and green gems all around. 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 is 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 discharging 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 of war these days!"
Jiang Huaiqing was on the run and committed crimes. If he was 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 bucket wasn't too big and difficult to carry, Jiang Huaiqing would have taken the city lord's toilet bucket 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 and went straight to the back door without encountering anyone to question him along the way.
"Oh no, there's a fire in the backyard, go and give a hand!"
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 old women ran quickly 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.
After lifting the carriage curtain, Qi Lin was already waiting inside. When he saw Jiang Yuzhu coming out, he said excitedly, "Godmother, I know you're okay!"
Then, Qi Lin blinked and said, "Your little secret, your son has not told your godfather."
"Little sister, when will you recognize a godson?"
Jiang Huaiqing looked at Qi Lin and said critically, "He's a little too old. It's better to raise a younger one."
