Chapter 326: Having Fun
All trivial matters that happened in the capital were recorded by Chen in letters and sent to Jiangnan.
It was already mid-June of the lunar calendar when Jiang Yuzhu received the letter. She was cooling off in the shade of a tree by a lake in Zhuangzi.
As her belly grew bigger and the fetal movements became more obvious, Jiang Yuzhu couldn't sleep well every night.
"Hongli, calculate the date. My mother will be here soon. Please tidy up the guest house and dry the bedding frequently."
With her mother Chen coming to Jiangnan, and her relatives around, Jiang Yuzhu felt more confident.
Hongli smiled and said, "Madam, I clean the house every day and make sure there is not a speck of dust."
The farm where Jiang Yuzhu lives is not very big, but the scenery is extremely beautiful. It is a summer resort in Suzhou.
There are thousands of soldiers guarding the periphery. As long as she doesn't agree, even her mother-in-law Shen can't come in.
Shen was overwhelmed by the troubles caused by her natal family and the Xie family. She was worried that these people would harass her daughter-in-law, so she set some rules.
"Miss Wei was sent to the countryside, and that disgusting Mr. Li didn't get any advantage. People in Sucheng don't dare to offend the Xie family, so naturally no daughter dares to marry them."
There has been a lot of news out there recently, and Hongli picked up gossip related to the Xie family.
"I heard that Shen Tinglan had a miscarriage. Guo Rui was so inhumane that he was furious. The Guo family had been concerned about the baby in Shen Tinglan's belly before, but now they don't care what Guo Rui does. Guo Rui beat Shen Tinglan half to death..."
These two people are no good, they will suffer the consequences of their own actions.
Jiang Yuzhu was enjoying the scenery and eating melon, feeling very comfortable.
These trivial matters could not arouse her interest at all.
"Madam, the invited guests have arrived!"
Hong Jin came trotting over and the platform had already been built.
When Hongli heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he asked happily, "Are they all here?"
“Here it comes!”
Hong Jin blinked his eyes, and everyone was already there, waiting for his wife to come over and see them.
The master and his servants moved to the backyard, where a sunshade curtain had been set up.
On both sides of the stage, there were strong men on the left and handsome scholars on the right, a total of more than twenty people.
The sturdy man was wearing a green shirt, with smooth muscle lines, strong physique and deep facial features, while the handsome scholar was gentle and elegant, with a sense of romance.
"Ma'am, are you satisfied?"
Hongli smiled. She didn’t know whether the lady was satisfied or not, but she was very satisfied anyway.
Everyone loves beauty, no matter if they are men or women, as long as they have good looks, they are pleasing to the eye.
Shen had previously planned to take Jiang Yuzhu to cruise on a pleasure boat. Considering that it would be inconvenient for her daughter-in-law to do so due to her big belly, she simply paid some money to invite her to the manor.
"good!"
Jiang Yuzhu waved her hands and waited for the strong man to show his boxing skills.
At first, Jiang Yuzhu didn't have much interest in watching acrobatics or operas, but Shen suggested that she look at more good-looking people so that the baby in her belly would be good-looking when born.
These strong men in front of him are no worse than Xie Zhao.
Shen didn't care whether Xie Zhao would be jealous if he found out. She just wanted to have some fun and didn't do anything else.
"Okay, let's get started!"
Jiang Yuzhu leaned on the small couch, and the maids and servants brought her tea and water and gave her massages, making her feel extremely comfortable.
After watching the boxing match, the romantic scholar stood on the high platform and began to recite poems and compose couplets.
Jiang Yuzhu closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
When it was time to light the lamps, Aunt Lanhua served some light and appetizing side dishes.
"Madam, the girls from Bibo Pavilion will come to play tomorrow."
The strong man and the elegant scholar have seen it, and tomorrow it will be the turn of the beautiful woman.
The music played was soothing, and Jiang Yuzhu felt relaxed physically and mentally after listening to it.
After dinner, it was time to play cards.
Jiang Yuzhu had just sat down at the card table when Hong Jin came over with a stern face: "Madam, Han Zhen wants to see you."
"Let him come in and talk."
Jiang Yuzhu was helped by Hong Jin to stand up and walked to the side hall.
After about half a minute, Han Zhen opened the door curtain and bowed, "Master."
Han Zhen can make the decision on some small matters on weekdays, but this matter is more critical, so Han Zhen has to ask for instructions.
"According to your instructions, I sent people to keep an eye on the Lu family and found that the Lu family was secretly colluding with the Yan family."
After Jiang Yuzhu entered the city, the Yan family got the news and fled, most of them hiding in the Lu family's farm.
In order to play the long game and catch the big fish, Han Zhen and his men kept a close watch.
The Yan family hid themselves very well and it took about a month for them to make any move.
"I followed this line of inquiry and found that the Lu family was also selling the magic powder on the black market."
Han Zhen asked, "Should we arrest the Lu family now, or wait a little longer?"
The Lu family is different from the Yan family. Lu Yunxi is Jiang Yuzhu's cousin. Because of this relationship, Han Zhen is restricted in what he can do.
"Wait a minute."
Jiang Yuzhu planned to wait for her mother Chen to come in a few days before taking action against the Lu family.
In this way, the relationship can be severed completely to avoid any hidden dangers.
No wonder Jiang Yuzhu always felt that Lu Yunxi had ulterior motives and was quite ambitious.
"Ma'am, we caught a few people sneaking around the farm."
Han Zhen hadn't left yet, and Cui Ji came again.
He tied up three people and kicked them to their knees.
"These people are all skilled in martial arts. Two of them who are fast on their feet ran away!"
In the process of arresting people, more than a dozen brothers were injured, and Cui Ji suspected that these people were coming for Jiang Yuzhu.
He had interrogated him once and tortured him severely, but he had gotten nothing out of him.
In desperation, Cui Ji had to drag the person over.
As soon as they entered the yard, the three men gave Yan Lin, who came to play cards, a visual shock, and Yan Lin fainted.
Cui Ji said embarrassedly: "I sent the brothers to change the clothes of these people, but the blood on their faces was not wiped clean."
Yan Lin's illness has not been cured. Instead, it has become more serious recently and he is extremely weak.
When talking about Yan Lin, Jiang Yuzhu looked a little lonely: "It's not your fault."
Yan Lin is a person who is very obsessed with medicinal herbs.
After learning that the Immortal Powder was addictive, he searched for it everywhere without Jiang Yuzhu's knowledge and secretly tasted the medicine.
Even though Jiang Yuzhu had advised him many times, he still couldn't touch the Shenxian Powder because once he touched it, there was no turning back.
However, Yan Lin always felt that it was the Yan family that created this banned drug, which was unfair to many people, so he had to find a solution.
This time the fainting was not necessarily due to blood phobia, but was most likely related to the Shenxian Powder.
Instructing Hong Xiu to check on Yan Lin, Jiang Yuzhu stared at the people in front of her and asked indifferently, "Were they sent by the capital?"
The leader suddenly looked up, glanced at Jiang Yuzhu in surprise, and then quickly lowered his head.
Jiang Yuzhu moved her eyebrows, and she guessed it again.
"Who is your master?"
Jiang Yuzhu asked calmly.
Anyway, there are so many enemies that it doesn’t matter who they are.
The three of them resisted in silence. Even after being kicked by Twigg, they still gritted their teeth and said nothing.
If the mission is not accomplished, going back will lead to death.
"What do you want to do?"
Cui Ji's intention was to kill him to prevent future trouble.
"Don't kill him, keep him."
Jiang Yuzhu stroked her chin, curved her lips and said, "Two of them ran away, so we can use them as bait to lure them back and deal with them together."
Another thing is that Jiang Yuzhu's area is not completely airtight, so it would be helpful to use these people to catch the hidden spies.
The most important reason is that these three people are useful.
"The tall and strong ones are named Xiong Da, Xiong Er, and Xiong San."
Jiang Yuzhu gave the three people names and had already thought of how to deal with them.
