Chapter 126: Sleepless
At Baiweizhai, Song Wenfu was rubbing his hands together, glancing out the window from time to time. He couldn't help but imagine what he would do with Jiang after catching her.
Just as he was imagining the good life after capturing Jiang, a servant suddenly ran in in a panic, "Young Master, something bad has happened!"
Song Wenfu's expression changed. "What's going on?"
The servant wiped the sweat from his forehead and said guiltily, "The people we were looking for didn't catch Jiang..."
"Waste!" Song Wenfu shouted angrily, "Didn't you pat your chest and guarantee that Bao Chen was reliable? Is this what you call reliable? You can't even handle two weak women?"
"Young Master, those two women are not as good as women!"
The servant's face turned pale as he trembled as he said, "That round-faced girl next to Jiang knows kung fu. Several big men are no match for her. And that Jiang, I don't know what she had in her hand, but she sprayed it at Leopard Chen, and that Leopard Chen was blinded, so he could only let her slaughter him!"
Thinking about the scene he had seen while hiding in the bushes, the servant's hair stood on end. A man as big as Bao Chen was actually lifted up by a little girl with one hand.
What frightened him even more was the man next to Jiang.
Just thinking about that man's aura made his scalp tingle!
Song Wenfu didn't believe it. No matter how powerful they were, they were just two women. How powerful could they be?
These bastards not only failed to accomplish their mission, but also alerted the enemy. Now that the Jiang family is on guard, how can he catch anyone?
So he scolded the servant severely.
The servants wanted to persuade him at first, but seeing his expression, they dared not say any words of persuasion and walked out of Baiweizhai with their heads shrugged.

Jiang Tangtang woke up in the evening and found herself lying on the bed, feeling a little dizzy.
He stared at the mosquito net above the bed for a few seconds before remembering what happened today and suddenly sat up.
Hearing the noise over here, Lu Shiyan put down the book in his hand, walked over and said, "Are you awake? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
Looking at the handsome man in front of her, Jiang Tangtang's eyes widened instantly, "You...why are you here? Didn't you go fight pirates?"
Seeing her lively appearance, Lu Shiyan smiled and said, "Looks like everything is fine! If you are fine, go wash up and prepare for dinner!"
Jiang Tangtang blinked, still confused. How could someone who said he was going out to suppress bandits show up at home?
But at this moment, she couldn't care less about why Lu Shiyan appeared at home. She asked anxiously, "Where are those bandits? Is Xiaoyu okay?"
Lu Shiyan answered her the same way: "Don't worry, she's fine, those people have been arrested!"
"Has he been taken to the government?"
"They weren't sent to the government!" Lu Shiyan paused, thinking of her fainting appearance, and didn't tell her the truth. "They were sent to do hard labor! Don't worry, they will never come out to harm others in this life!"
Hearing that everyone had been dealt with, Jiang Tangtang immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He rubbed his stomach and felt a little hungry, so he got up and washed up.
After learning that Jiang Tangtang fainted due to exhaustion, Su Shi felt very guilty and killed a chicken and cooked it with tonic to nourish Jiang Tangtang.
Seeing Jiang Tangtang get up, he hurriedly brought the chicken soup over and said, "Tangtang, eat quickly. You're so thin that you'd be blown away by the wind. Hurry up and eat some more."
As soon as the bowl was brought over, Jiang Tangtang smelled the scent of medicine and said hurriedly, "Mom, I'm in good health! No need to supplement!"
Su glared at her in disapproval, shoved the bowl into her hands, and said, "Don't be stubborn! This is a prescription given by the Empress in the palace. It's good for your health! Eat it quickly!"
Unable to refuse the kind offer, Jiang Tangtang could only accept the bowl of chicken soup that was full of medicinal aroma.
Jiang Tangtang was impressed by her mother-in-law for cooking a delicious chicken so badly. But after all, it was her mother-in-law's good intention, so she had to eat it with a pinch of her nose.
"The weather is cold, and chicken soup doesn't spoil easily. I'll save the rest for you to drink tomorrow!" Looking at her daughter-in-law's tender skin, Su swallowed the rest of the words praising the soup's therapeutic effects.
Hearing that such a huge pot was reserved for her alone, Jiang Tangtang was immediately overwhelmed. She had a spiritual spring in her space, and so many spiritual fruits and vegetables, so why would she need to drink any more nourishing soup?
He quickly said, "Mom, you drink too! You've been working hard these days, you have to take good care of yourself!"
Seeing that her daughter-in-law was filial, Su was happy and drank a big bowl of it.
Jiang Tangtang scooped a large bowl of the remaining food and gave it to Lu Shiyan, "Husband, you have worked hard, please eat more!"
Lu Shiyan was not picky about food. He drank the bowl of bitter and astringent chicken soup without blinking, as if Jiang Tangtang had a problem with her taste buds.
"How about another bowl?" Jiang Tangtang said with evil intentions.
Lu Shiyan smiled and said, "If you don't want to eat, take good care of your body next time and don't overwork yourself."
He looked at Jiang Tangtang and said, "I didn't mean anything else by telling you those things. I just think you have the right to know. But I don't want you to feel too much pressure and force yourself to do something you don't want to do for me."
"It's not entirely because of you!" Jiang Tangtang said, "I just like doing these things."
"Then you should take care of yourself!" Lu Shiyan touched her head and said, "Don't work too hard in the future and make me worry."
His hand just gently placed on Jiang Tangtang's head, but Jiang Tangtang's heart was beating like a drum.
She quickly changed the subject and said, "You haven't told me yet, why did you come back so suddenly?"
"I'll leave early tomorrow morning!" Lu Shiyan said, "I won't be able to spend the New Year with you tomorrow."
"Are we going to fight pirates tomorrow?" Jiang Tangtang asked.
Lu Shiyan nodded and said, "Don't go out these few days. Let Shili take care of the New Year gifts!"
Jiang Tangtang just thought that she was afraid that she would encounter robbers again when she went out, so she didn't think much about it and agreed obediently.
"Then you go to sleep first! I'll go outside and read for a while!" Lu Shiyan picked up the book and was about to go out, but Jiang Tangtang stopped him, "You can read here, it won't disturb me!"
This candle is a homemade scented candle she made. It has a sleeping effect and will not affect her sleep.
Jiang Tangtang was too tired a few days ago and didn't get enough sleep. She lay on the bed, smelling the faint fragrance of flowers, and fell asleep in a short while.
Jiang Tangtang was sleeping soundly, but Old Madam Song was suffering from insomnia again.
After tossing and turning in bed for half an hour, she sat up irritably and asked, "Qiuyue, is the candle different tonight than usual?"
Qiuyue lowered her head and whispered, "Madam, the scented candles that Miss Lin sent are all used up. I've already sent people to Jiuxia Silver Shop twice, but the owner said there are no candles left!"
After she finished speaking, she asked tentatively, "How about I tell this to the master and let him think of a solution?"
Madam Song lay back down again. "He's busy enough all day long. Why bother him with such a small matter?"
