Chapter 53 Protecting the Daughter-in-law

Not long after, Xie Jing arrived.

"What did mother ask her son to come over for?"

The old lady took a sip of tea and asked, "Jiang Youning, how much do you know?"

Xie Jing replied, "I know half of it. Why did mother suddenly ask about this?"

The old lady repeated what Du Huilan said.

"I have always been curious about your sudden marriage. I have never heard you talk about it before. Do you know all these things?"

She never asked about her son's work because she knew that her son was steady and had never been entangled by his children's private affairs. It was a mixture of good and bad.

She was still very happy that her son got married, at least it could prove that her son was not a traitor.

But now, she was worried that her son was deceived.

Du Huilan added, "General, I have known Jiang Youning before. She once tried to commit suicide for Shen Tanhua. The daughter of the Hou family knows this."

Xie Jing glanced at Du Huilan coldly.

Du Huilan paused and lowered her eyelids.

Xie Jing retracted his gaze and looked at the old lady, "Mother, I know all of what you said."

The old lady was surprised when she heard it, "You mean, what Huilan said is true?"

"Yes." Xie Jing did not deny it, because all of this can be found out.

Du Huilan was even more unbelievable. Xie Jing knew about Jiang Youning's past, so how could he still be willing to marry her?

"Then why did you marry her if you already knew it?"

The old lady also asked, "You knew that Jiang Youning liked Shen Tanhua, so why did you marry her?"

If she knew, she would definitely stop it.

If a woman is willing to risk her life for a man, it is enough to show how much she loves this man.

Just like Du Huilan loves her son, she is willing to risk her life and be a concubine to marry her son.

Xie Jing looked at the worried face of the old lady and answered concisely, "Those are all things in her past. She is my wife after marrying me. Mother, don't worry about these things."

The old lady said, "How can I not worry? If you marry a woman whose heart is not with you, how can she love you? Husband and wife are one body. If there are different hearts, it will not last long." What

she is most worried about is that her son likes Jiang Youning so much. If he regrets and wants to leave in the future, it will be her son who will be hurt.

Xie Jing said, "Mother, you worry too much."

Du Huilan saw that Xie Jing was so protective of Jiang Youning, which showed how seriously she was deceived.

No wonder Jiang Youning, who had always been stupid, suddenly changed. She might have learned some evil ways.

"General, I have known the lady for a long time. She was not like this before. I am afraid that she chose some evil ways and married the general to avenge Shen Tanhua's breaking off the engagement."

The old lady also thought that what she said made sense, "Mother Rong, go and invite Jiang over."

"Yes, old lady."

Mother Rong was about to go out, but was stopped by Xie Jing, "No need to invite her over."

Mother Rong stopped and looked back at the old lady.

The old lady looked at her son, a little surprised, "Can't I ask?"

Xie Jing said, "My son knows her better than me. I am an adult. If I can't handle this matter well, I am not worthy of being a general."

The old lady was stunned when she heard this.

Xie Jing said again: "Mother, my son still has official business to deal with, and he will be away for a while. During this time when my son is not at home, mother, please take care of yourself."

The old lady then realized that her son was going away again, and she said: "Mother is naturally safe at home, but you are in danger every time you go out, so you should pay more attention to your health."

Xie Jing lowered his eyebrows and closed his eyes: "Son, remember your instructions."

After Xie Jing left, the old lady sighed, not knowing whether it was right or wrong to let him join the army.

Du Huilan held the handkerchief in her hand tightly. Jiang Youning was so seductive that it would definitely be a disaster for her to stay with Xie Jing.

When Xie Jing came to Lingxi Courtyard, Jiang Youning was teasing a little rabbit.

She pushed the little rabbit to the corner, holding a thin branch in her hand, with one end pointing at the little rabbit's neck, looking fierce.

"I'll give you three days, find a way to let Xie Jing catch a wild rabbit, otherwise, hehe, the little rabbit will be in danger."

[I want to eat roasted rabbit so much, I'm almost dying of hunger. ]

Xie Jing: "..."

He walked over with big strides, without deliberately hiding his steps.

Jiang Youning heard the steady footsteps and thought it was Yuanbao coming back, "Yuanbao, can you catch rabbits?"

While speaking, she raised her head and saw Xie Jing's handsome face, she was stunned.

[When did Xie Jing come? He shouldn't have heard me threatening the little rabbit, right? 】

"General."

Xie Jing knew that Yuanbao was the man of unknown origin. Xue Yi had been investigating for so long but had no news, which made people very suspicious.

"What are you doing?"

Jiang Youning threw away the branch, picked up the little rabbit, and said with a smile: "I'm walking the rabbit."

Xie Jing glanced at the rabbit in her arms. The pair of black pearl eyes were the same as its owner, staring at him without blinking.

"I haven't heard of walking a rabbit."

Jiang Youning frowned, "Because I am the founder, it's normal that the general has never heard of it."

Xie Jing stared at her for a while, "Then let me show you how to walk."

Jiang Youning: "..."

【Xie Jing did this on purpose, right? 】

She pretended to bend down and put the rabbit on the ground, "Okay, you are now a walking rabbit, let the general see your heroic posture when you walk."

The little rabbit was confused, should it walk or not?

Xie Jing: "..."

Jiang Youning smiled: "The general is very handsome, the little rabbit is a little shy, embarrassed to show off its charm."

Xie Jing: "..."

"Hahahaha..."

Xiao Yu sat on the wall, laughing. He didn't want to laugh to attract attention, he really couldn't help it.

When Xiao Yu came, he was about to jump down, but he saw Xie Jing coming. He has always been curious about how Xie Jing, a blockhead, gets along with Jiang Youning, so he sat on the wall and did not come down.

Xie Jing raised his head and looked at the wall, and saw Xiao Yu sitting there, laughing loudly.

Jiang Youning knew it was Xiao Yu as soon as she heard the voice, and when she raised her head, she saw that when Xiao Yu laughed, his front teeth were exposed.

Looking at Xie Jing again, his face was grim. This was probably what it means to remain calm even when a mountain collapses in front of you.

There is a difference between having a low laugh point and a high laugh point.

[Look how happy Xiao Yu is. If he falls down, I don’t have to take the responsibility, right? 】

Xiao Yu was laughing happily, and suddenly she fell from the wall, like a whale into the sea, a bird into the forest, it was inevitable, there was no way to retreat!

There was only the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground with a "thump".

Then there was another "ouch".

Hearing this scream, you can tell how badly Xiao Yu fell.

Jiang Youning saw Xiao Yu falling headfirst and in close contact with the ground, and felt a little guilty.

【Look at my crow's mouth, how can I fall so easily? I feel sorry for you for two seconds first...hahaha! A dog chewing mud, this is probably what it looks like, right? Hahahaha】

Xie Jing lowered his eyes and glanced at her, only to see that she could not hide the schadenfreude in her eyes.

Xiao Yu limped over, touching his butt, and looked at Xie Jing with a little grievance.

He was sitting on the wall fine. If Xie Jing hadn't used a hidden weapon, how could he have fallen down?
