Chapter 798 General, you've made it so hard for me to hide this
In a rage, Jiang Yubai scolded Xu Yu for many days. While scolding him, he had to cheer up and help Xu Yu deal with this stupid thing that was bound to be criticized by others.
Twenty days later, Xu Yu received a handwritten letter from Jiang Yubai full of insults. He glanced at the content and threw the letter aside.
Chen Jing'an happened to be hiding from Xu Yu in order to avoid the medicinal food prepared by Tian Ying'er. Seeing this, he looked at her with a subtle expression: "Isn't he going to kill you directly?"
"Yes."
Xu Yu said calmly, "He said he was going to chop me up seven or eight times, so he said it."
Anyway, Jiang Yubai is very busy now and has no time to pick a fight with him.
What’s wrong with getting scolded a few times?
A lot of meat and a lot of worry saved, worth it.
Chen Jing'an silently gave a thumbs-up to express his admiration. He used his hand to move his pretend-limped leg to a new position and leaned over to whisper, "We'll be in the royal city in a few days. You've got to keep this a secret from your sister-in-law and Madam Xie."
They set out from Nanyun and traveled day and night without stopping, so the time spent on the road was reduced to a minimum.
Firstly, the old prince's illness in the royal city was becoming increasingly serious, and Xu Yu had to rush back as soon as possible.
Secondly, I am afraid of encountering more setbacks along the way.
Sang Zhixia is very different from Xu Yu's mother-in-law who never leaves the house.
With the connections Sang Zhixia had with caravans everywhere, it was easy for her to find out anything she wanted to, and she couldn't hide it at all.
We had to hurry on the road so that Sang Zhixia wouldn't have the energy to pay attention to other things.
Xu Yu nodded with a dark face to indicate that he understood. He just sent Chen Jing'an away with a look of disgust, turned around to find Sang Zhixia, and when he entered the house, he keenly noticed that the atmosphere was not right.
In front of Sang Zhixia stood a middle-aged woman who looked exhausted. When she saw Xu Yu come in, she shrank her neck in fear, her eyes flickered, and she turned her head in the other direction.
Xu Yu had never seen such a person around Sang Zhixia.
Sang Zhixia exchanged a glance with Xu Yu from a distance, with a hint of subtlety in her eyes.
The man seemed afraid to stay for long. He suppressed his uneasiness and kowtowed respectfully to Sang Zhixia, saying seriously, "Third Miss, I have already conveyed your message. I will not disturb you and your uncle here."
Third Miss...
Before she got married, Sang Zhixia was the third child in the family. Only people from the Sang family would call her that.
Xu Yu's eyebrows jumped violently, and his eyes, which fell on Sang Zhixia, showed a rare sense of helplessness.
Sang Zhixia winked at Xu Yu calmly, saying, "I know what you said."
"Dian Cui, send Mother Wang downstairs to rest."
Diancui gave her a questioning look, and Sang Zhixia brushed her sleeves and said slowly, "Mother Wang, you must have come all this way and worked hard. Remember to take good care of her and don't neglect her."
Diancui had an idea in mind and said readily, "Then I'll ask Huashan to come over and serve, so that there won't be any inconvenience."
"Uh-huh."
Sang Zhixia waved her hand to signal Diancui to take the person out. She held her chin in her hand and looked at Xu Yu, who was standing still. She couldn't help but laugh: "Are you here to stand as punishment?"
"How long are you going to stand here?"
Xu Yu grasped the key point from his blank mind and frowned fiercely: "Who is this person?"
"Didn't you guess it?"
Sang Zhixia raised her eyebrows in amusement: "Is it a surprise that you came from my mother's family?"
Xu Yu mumbled "I'm not surprised" in an unclear tone, but his expression was still strange.
He had clearly been on high alert, repeatedly emphasizing that no one with unknown origins was allowed to get close to Sang Zhixia.
Where did this person come from?
Why didn't he know anything about it beforehand?
besides……
What did the visitor say to Sang Zhixia?
Xu Yu bit his tongue and twisted it for a moment, then said uncertainly, "Zhizhi?"
"uh-huh?"
Xu Yu whispered, "Zhizhi, how much do you know now?"
Did you also know that he was colluding with outsiders to massacre his father-in-law and his entire family?
Sang Zhixia was amused by Xu Yu's expression. She stood up, walked to Xu Yu, looked up at him slightly, and said with a half-smile, "General, you've made it so hard for me to hide this."
Xu Yu's heart skipped a beat.
Sang Zhixia couldn't help laughing when she saw his face change drastically: "What's with that expression on your face?"
"Could it be that I said something wrong and wronged you? Wasn't it your idea to hide it from me?"
Xu Yu's heart was filled with turmoil, but he remained calm on the surface: "That's what I meant."
"But I can't figure it out. I've taken such strict precautions. How did someone dig a hole in the ground and get to you?"
Xu Yu said this while guiltily holding Sang Zhixia's hand. The next second, he heard Sang Zhixia say, "You only guard against the outside world, but you didn't think about guarding against my mother, right?"
Xu Yu's expression changed again. Sang Zhixia caressed his tense face lovingly and said softly, "General, look, there's a slip of the tongue, isn't there?"
Since Madam Xie was willing to fake her own death and leave the Sang family, there was certainly no possibility that she would become a traitor and reconcile with her scumbag father.
But Mrs. Xie's soft character flaws were quite fatal.
Sang Zhixia said with mixed feelings, "My mother's family isn't well off. Although they don't lack food or drink, they are said to have two people who take medicine all year round. One is my uncle and the other is my cousin."
"My mother owes my aunt a life-saving favor and has not forgotten it for many years. After she arrives here, she will ask me to instruct the caravan to send money to her family over there."
Mrs. Xie certainly knew that she was a person who had faked her own death and escaped, and she couldn't show off in public.
But if you want people to feel at ease accepting the money that is delivered to their door for free, there must be a reason.
Sang Zhixia used her own name.
After all, she is half of the Xie family's blood, so it makes sense for her to help her uncle's family.
For the Sang family, such relatives were originally hidden in the corner, but who would have thought that they would be brought to light now.
Sang Zhixia gestured for Xu Yu to sit down and made a move to pour tea, but Xu Yu snatched the teapot away. He simply lay on the table, watching the tea gradually fall into the cup, and said, "The Xie family's people have been found, and it probably didn't take much to interrogate them about the source of the silver."
"It was given by the owner of Sanyou Trading Company. Isn't that me?"
Xu Yu raised his teacup and handed it to him. Sang Zhixia reached out to take it, but it was empty. Suppressing a smile, she took a sip from Xu Yu's hand and shrugged, "And then, maybe they thought sending a man would attract too much attention, so they deliberately replaced him with a seemingly harmless woman."
"This woman, with the help of her master and the Xie family, joined my caravan under the name of the Xie family and followed the caravan all the way from Kyoto to Lingnan."
When the people from the trading company saw that the visitor was holding the token of the Xie family, they mistakenly thought that this was someone Sang Zhixia valued. They did not dare to be careless at all and carefully escorted the person all the way to the Lingnan Royal City.
After arriving in the royal city, they first met Nan Weiwei and Xu Minghui who were on business outside. They saw that the token brought by the visitor was indeed from Sang Zhixia's hand, so they took the person back to the Xu family without thinking much.
Mrs. Xie suddenly heard that someone from her mother's family was coming, and she hurried out, but found that the person was not from the Xie family, but from the Sang family.
At this point, the plan of Madam Xie and Sang Yanyou faking their death to escape was exposed in front of this old woman, and Madam Xie decided to send the person directly to Sang Zhixia.
Sang Zhixia explained the whole story in a few words, and looked at Xu Yu with a nervous look, "Didn't expect that, did you?"
"There's a fire in the inner courtyard."
