Chapter 538 [Sir Jiang, I was sent by your daughter to pick you up]
The villager saw that the silver was of excellent quality, and that although the two men were dressed in shabby clothes, the patterns of the materials looked good, so he quickly called on his family to help carry Emperor Qingning into the house.
Zheng Qin slumped down on the doorstep, gasping for breath, feeling pain all over his body. But he knew it wasn't time to rest yet.
He had to wait for the village doctor to come and confirm Emperor Qingning's injuries and bandage his own cut buttocks.
Late at night, when everyone was asleep, Zheng Qin stayed by Emperor Qingning's bedside. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the emperor's weak breathing become stronger.
He smiled bitterly and shook his head.
It is really not easy to earn the merit of following the dragon.
He didn't know whether Jiang Wanyue and the Queen Mother had left the mountain courtyard and headed for Zhuwan. Now he could only rely on Jiang Wanyue to save them.
He hoped that Jiang Wanyue would notice something was wrong after not receiving his letter for such a long time and send his men to find him.
*
In the capital city, there is the Baihu Street branch of Shanyitang.
Jiang Lili and Jiang Wanyue's father Jiang Zhoulin used a broom stick as a crutch and limped out of the Shanyitang.
From a single luxury ward to an ordinary ward, and now to being unable to pay the medical bills, Jiang Zhoulin has experienced many ups and downs. He did not expect that his anger would make him so seriously ill.
He stayed in Shanyitang for almost two months, and most of his savings were gone. He also developed a chronic illness and could not walk properly. With no one to look after him, he suffered terribly in bed.
Recently, Jiang Wanyue and Lu Fangqin have not come to visit him, nor have they brought him any supplements or money, and he is vaguely worried.
Now that the doctors at Shanyitang had discharged him, he stood at the entrance and watched. Baihu Street was bustling with traffic, vendors and merchants bustling about with business. He felt as if he were in another world, and he still couldn't believe that a new dynasty had taken place here, and that his eldest daughter, Jiang Lili, had become the ruler of the world.
He wanted to find Jiang Lili. Her daughter was now the ruler of a country, and her son-in-law was the god of war who had annexed an entire land west of Xilin Snowfield!
But when Jiang Zhoulin looked around, he was completely bewildered. For a moment, he didn't know through whom he could meet Jiang Lili.
He grabbed the driver at the door of Shanyitang and said in a commanding tone, "My daughter is Jiang Lili. Take me to see her immediately!"
The driver took one look at the haggard old man in front of him with messy hair and beard, pulled his hand away with disgust, and spat at him.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm still your father."
"How could you do this to me?"
Jiang Zhoulin hadn't expected to be so scorned by a commoner driver. Pointing at his nose, he cursed, "Jiang Lili and I are of the same blood. Believe it or not, I can have her throw you in jail!"
"I've made you lose your job, and your whole family can't even afford to eat!"
"Oh my, so arrogant." The driver laughed angrily, "Who would believe you if you said that?"
"And he keeps trying to mess with my whole family."
"Believe it or not, I'll report you to the Baihu Street Police Station. Evil forces like you must be wiped out!"
Police station? What is it?
Jiang Zhoulin was confused.
The vendors nearby also mocked, "Miss Jiang is honest, selfless and sensible. How could she have a father like you?"
The driver rolled up his sleeves and said, "If you were Miss Jiang's father, you deserve to die. It's one thing to say that she was wrongly exiled, but you actually sent people to kill her and persecute the Xin family."
"Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs."
The movement from the driver's side attracted more and more people to look over.
Passersby were holding baskets filled with vegetables and eggs.
"What? This guy said he's Jiang Lili's father?"
"Is he Jiang Zhoulin, the Minister of Personnel of the previous dynasty?"
"Could it be Jiang Zhoulin wearing such tattered clothes?"
"Didn't Jiang Zhoulin go to the Good Doctor's Hall because he was angry about the fire at the Jiang Mansion? That's very likely!"
…
Seeing passersby surrounding him with unfriendly eyes, Jiang Zhoulin immediately panicked: "I was drunk, I was just talking nonsense!"
He hurriedly avoided the crowd and escaped from the Good Doctor's Hall before more people came.
I didn't expect that people like Jiang Lili are so popular among the people, and their appeal is even stronger than that of Emperor Qingning.
After passing through several alleys, we arrived at another deserted street.
Jiang Zhoulin was panting and sat down against the wall.
He had rested for a while when suddenly someone threw two copper coins in front of him.
There was a "bang" sound, and Jiang Zhoulin felt that it was no different from slapping him twice!
He was actually mistaken for a beggar!
Jiang Zhoulin's face turned the color of liver. He picked up two copper coins and threw them at the person who threw them: "Who wants your dirty money!"
The person who was hit dodged and looked at him in disbelief: "Oh, this old beggar doesn't know what's good for him!"
His companion shook his head: "Your kindness is taken for granted! He deserves to be in such a miserable state."
Jiang Zhoulin became even angrier when he was called an "old beggar" and picked up his crutch to hit the two men.
The two people who had been kind enough to give alms also became angry. The man who threw the copper coins kicked the crutch in Jiang Zhoulin's hand and said, "I'm helping you out of kindness, why are you so mean?"
His companion pulled him back and said, "Forget it, just kick the crutch. If you kick someone, what will you do if he blackmails you?"
When the man heard this, he agreed and immediately pulled his companion away cursing.
Just when Jiang Zhoulin picked up his crutch to hit someone, he accidentally twisted his waist. He leaned against the wall, holding his waist in pain. He suffered a double blow physically and mentally. He was no different from a stray dog at this moment.
Where are Wanyue and Madam Lu now? Is Mr. Zheng reliable?
Or have Wanyue and her son given up on themselves?
It's impossible. She has been treating this mother and son with all her heart. Even if she suffered a huge loss, Jiang Lili has never treated Jiang Wanyue and her son badly!
They can't just abandon themselves like this!
When Jiang Zhoulin closed his eyes in despair, a respectful voice suddenly rang in his ears a moment later: "Master Jiang, I finally found you!"
Jiang Zhoulin suddenly opened his eyes and saw a gorgeous carriage parked in front of him. An unfamiliar middle-aged man in well-dressed clothes was squatting in front of him.
Jiang Zhoulin was a little excited, holding on to the wall and trying to stand up again: "You, you are?"
"Master Jiang, I was sent by your daughter to pick you up!"
The middle-aged man helped him up and said, "Did you sprain your waist? Let me help you get on the carriage and rest! There are good plasters on the carriage."
"Okay, okay!" Jiang Zhoulin felt pleasantly surprised that good things had come after bad luck.
After being helped into the car by the middle-aged man, he asked, "Were you sent by Jiang Lili or Jiang Wanyue?"
The middle-aged man smiled faintly, asked the driver to drive away, then turned around and said, "Of course it was sent by your most filial daughter."
