Chapter 73 Tie Up My Husband
The leading servant was holding a lantern, which made his face look terrifyingly pale, especially when he slowly turned around and grinned, Xie Zhao couldn't help but feel his eyebrows jump.
I saw several servants carrying a huge coffin.
The coffin was red, as if blood was faintly flowing out of it. It was carved all around and inlaid with several extremely rare luminous pearls.
"Be careful when you lift it, don't bump into anything."
The servants of the Jiang residence pushed over a huge cart and placed it on the head of the coffin. The group used the cart to push it forward very carefully.
Xie Zhao took a deep breath and recalled Jiang Fulu's perfunctory attitude in entertaining him.
If Xie Zhao had not been stopped by Jiang Huaiqing on his way out, he would have already left the house by now.
Is there anything he should avoid specifically?
Xie Zhao lowered his eyes and thought of a case that happened a few days ago.
A headless body was found in a farmland outside Beijing.
Zhang Song, the coroner from the Jingzhao Yin Yamen, examined the body and determined that it was a young woman under the age of 20. However, due to the lack of a head, her identity could not be confirmed for the time being.
There has been no progress in the case for several days.
Now the Jiang family is transporting coffins late at night, could it be related to the case?
When the coffin entered Jiang's house, Xie Zhao blew the whistle and his men came over immediately.
"Take the food box back to Xie's house first, and tell the old lady and the lady that I have some official business to attend to in the yamen, and will be back home later."
After Xie Zhao finished speaking, he took out a mask and covered his face with it, then jumped up on the spot and soon disappeared.
The study in the front yard of the Jiang Mansion was brightly lit.
Jiang Fulu received the servant who came to deliver the coffin and was more approachable than before: "Tell your lords the news. Within a month or so, you will get what you want."
The two were classmates and good friends, so there was no need to be polite.
The steward who followed him smiled and said, "Master Jiang, you are being too polite. Even if I don't ask you to do anything for me, my master still cares about you."
After a few pleasantries, Jiang Fulu's patience was almost exhausted.
When the steward saw this, he offered to leave.
Xie Zhao hid on the roof and lifted the tiles to peek. He saw Jiang Fulu changed into official uniform, walking around the coffin a few times, and then, without warning, clapped his hands and laughed wildly three times.
Xie Zhao was caught off guard and almost rolled off the roof.
In the past, Xie Zhao often took his men out to investigate at night, mostly targeting the families of nobles. Could it be that his father-in-law Jiang Fulu had slipped through the net?
Killing someone and transporting the coffin to the mansion, this...
Xie Zhao's heart sank and he held his breath.
At this moment in the room, Jiang Fulu was ready to open the coffin.
The coffin lid was custom-made with a special wooden board, and Jiang Fulu opened it easily.
From Xie Zhao's angle, he couldn't see the internal structure of the coffin, so he decided to move to get a more intuitive angle.
After opening the coffin, Jiang Fulu sat down to drink tea and hum a light tune.
Soon, the steward of the Jiang family came outside the door asking to see him. He sent a servant in with a more sturdy frame.
The frame held the coffin within it, and then a layer of fine tulle was added around it.
Jiang Fulu was directing his servants and asked the steward, "What is Madam busy with?"
Jiang Fulu will not sleep with Chen tonight, so he needs to send someone to inform her.
The steward replied respectfully, "Madam is making a feather duster. Please do as you please."
This large frame was specially customized by Chen who had asked a carpenter to do so.
"Madam said that it's getting hot and there are mosquitoes, so I have to make you a mosquito-proof curtain."
After the steward finished speaking, Jiang Fulu's expression became even more relieved. His wife is very considerate!
Jiang Fulu pretended to be indifferent and asked, "By the way, who is the feather duster made for?"
He has been very honest recently and has not offended his wife!
The steward smiled and said, "You are worrying too much, sir. This is for the second young master."
When Jiang Fulu heard this, he stroked his beard and thought, if it wasn't prepared for him, then there was no need to worry.
Suddenly, several oil lamps in the room went out, leaving only a red candle.
Jiang Fulu lit three incense sticks and bowed three times devoutly towards the corner, as if he was performing an ancient ritual.
"Seeing the coffin brings good luck, promotion and wealth, and money will roll in!"
Jiang Fulu recited it aloud three times, then stepped on the small ladder and entered the coffin.
Within a quarter of an hour, snoring sounds were heard from inside the coffin.
Xie Zhao did not move, petrified on the roof.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have imagined it!
Father-in-law Jiang Fulu secretly accepted bribes and even took a coffin and moved in it himself, just because the coffin symbolized promotion and wealth.
This ambition... is obvious.
Not only did Chen not stop him, she also made a mosquito-proof curtain to support Jiang Fulu's personal hobby.
Outrageous. Very outrageous!
The coffin was spacious and Jiang Fulu slept soundly.
For a moment, Xie Zhao even wanted to give it a try.
After spending too long at Jiang's house, Shen was still waiting for someone after returning to Xie's house: "Yuanhe, you came back so late, aren't you disturbing Yuzhu's rest?"
Xie Zhao had not yet recovered from the shock of the scene at the Jiang family and remained silent.
In fact, he and Jiang Yuzhu did not live in the same courtyard or the same room.
No matter how late he came back, he would not be able to get any news from Jiang Yuzhu.
Shen waved her hands randomly, pointing at the warm porridge in front of her and said, "You have a stomachache. Drink a bowl of porridge and go to bed early."
Xie Zhao was still in a daze, not suspecting anything.
After he drank the hot porridge, he soon noticed that his lower abdomen was hot, which felt wrong!
Feeling more and more uneasy, Xie Zhao asked coldly: "Mom, what did you add to the porridge?"
What was added? Of course, Shen would not admit it.
Thinking that Xie Zhao was in the wrong, Shen became even more assertive: "For your sake, mother spent five hundred taels to find a Taoist priest to perform a ceremony for the reconciliation of husband and wife. The Taoist priest said that after drinking a bowl of porridge, all your lost emotions will return to their original state."
Seeing that her son was a little weak, Shen quickly ordered the maid, "Ask Manager Xie to arrange two strong maids to carry Yuanhe to Yuzhu's room!"
Xie Zhao: "..."
The first thing to do tomorrow morning is to destroy the lair of the deceiving Taoist priest!
Xie Zhao was about to resist, but he saw his mother wiping her tears, so he decided not to act rashly.
After the person left, Shen was still wiping her tears, crying with joy.
It was late at night. Jiang Yuzhu had just laid down when the door was suddenly pushed open and Xie Zhaoru was thrown in like a burden.
"Master, why are you..."
Jiang Yuzhu lit the oil lamp and found that Xie Zhao was bleeding from the nose.
She took a step forward and was about to help him clean his face, but Xie Zhao grabbed her hand.
Jiang Yuzhu's fingers were not stained with water, their fingers were as slender and white as jade, and her palms were soft.
Xie Zhao's deep brows almost spit fire. He moved his body instinctively, enduring the heat and said, "Yuzhu, quickly find a rope and tie up your husband."
The fire in his body burned more and more fiercely. Xie Zhao bit his tongue and tried to resist it, but it was still difficult to resist the feeling of burning body.
Xie Zhao's self-esteem would not allow him to do beastly things when he was irrational.
Jiang Yuzhu was also a little panicked and was about to run out the door, only to find that the windows and doors were all padlocked.
Oh my God, she is still living a good life!
"Master, I am wronged!"
There was no rope in the room, and Jiang Yuzhu suddenly had an idea and found a package under the bed.
Then, she took out a few feet long white silk and neatly tied Xie Zhao to the foot of the bed.
Jiang Yuzhu breathed a sigh of relief, but Xie Zhao frowned and looked at Bai Ling intently, his eyes full of disbelief.
So, is it so hard to marry him?
Jiang Yuzhu was loved by the whole family in the Jiang family. Did she have the idea of ​​committing suicide after marrying into the Xie family?
Jiang Yuzhu saw what Xie Zhao was thinking and felt that it was a misunderstanding.
Ever since she entered the book, she had to travel in a carriage and did not have much space to move around, so she got some white silk and did aerial yoga every day to exercise her body's flexibility.
Forget it, no more explanation!
