Chapter 110: Outsiders His A-Yuan looks really sad. ...
Two carriages were parked at the palace gate.
Jiang Keyu walked out along the palace path and saw from afar the two children who should be waiting for him, as well as Chang Yunbai.
“Daddy!”
Jiang Suisui shouted and ran forward holding her brother's hand.
Jiang Keyu was slightly surprised, quickened her pace, squatted down when she got closer, picked up her daughter, took her son's hand, and slowly walked towards the carriage.
"Why are you here?"
"My brother and I are here to take you home." Jiang Suisui said, lying on his father's shoulder.
"You guys..." Jiang Keyu's gaze wandered.
Chang Yunbai seemed to see through his thoughts and scoffed, "Don't look for him anymore. The child's mother isn't here."
"Did I ask you?" Jiang Keyu said unhappily.
His expression grew more serious. "What happened? Why did His Majesty suddenly release me? And Xie Mingru is seriously ill. Is this true?"
Chang Yunbai looked at him in silence.
Jiang Keyu waited for a moment, frowned, and said, "Speak."
"Do I have to answer just because you ask me?" Chang Yunbai rolled his eyes.
Jiang Keyu: "..."
"Let's get in the car first." Chang Yunbai turned around. "Xie Mingru isn't seriously ill, he's seriously injured. It's a strange coincidence. Let's get in the car and talk about it in detail."

It was already evening when Jiang Keyu returned to the old house with the children.
Liu'an, who had been guarding the door, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then burst into tears, "My dear, you are finally back..."
"Stop." Jiang Keyu said with a hint of disgust, "I'm fine, right?"
He looked into the house, "Where's the young lady?"
Liu'an made way, "The young lady knew that the young master was coming home today, so she personally prepared dinner in the kitchen."
When Jiang Chengyou heard this, he immediately let go of his father's hand and ran into the house.
Seeing this, Jiang Suisui shook her legs anxiously, so Jiang Keyu put her down and let her run wildly with her brother.
Jiang Keyu was about to step over the threshold, but paused and retracted her steps after a moment.
He turned his head and asked, "The young lady knows that the young master is coming back, but does she know that I will come back?"
Liu'an nodded, "Of course."
Jiang Keyu breathed a sigh of relief and strode into the house. The further she walked inside, the faster her heart beat.
Walking into the yard, he paused again.
It was spring, and the branches and leaves of the trees in the yard were lush green. Song Baoyuan was standing below in a snow-blue short-sleeved dress, holding a bowl and a spoon in her hands.
The two children gathered around her, with their heads tilted back and their mouths open, waiting for their mother to feed them.
At this moment, Jiang Keyu seemed to have returned to an ordinary evening, with his wife and children waiting for him to come home for dinner.
When he saw his favorite dish being served on the table, he would greedily pull at his mother's clothes and beg her to let him have a bite first!
Song Baoyuan bent down and fed each of the two children a mouthful of fish soup, then urged them softly, "Okay, you've already tasted it in advance. Now go wash your hands and get ready to eat."
The satisfied child skipped away.
Song Baoyuan followed them with her eyes until they disappeared from her sight. Her eyes lost focus for a moment, but she quickly came to her senses and looked towards the gate of the yard.
Their eyes happened to meet.
There is some distance between us, so we can't see the emotions in each other's eyes.
Jiang Keyu still noticed something different.
In the past, when Ayuan saw him coming home, her eyes would always light up. Even without any exaggerated expression, it would make him smile.
But at this moment, Ayuan was as calm as water.
Jiang Keyu lowered her head.
It seems that it takes a lot of courage to go further.
Looking at each other from a distance, Song Baoyuan turned away after him.
I don't know whose clothes he was wearing, they were very plain, and his long hair was hanging down, but he looked quite clean overall.
"You should go clean up too." Song Baoyuan turned sideways, "Let's get ready for dinner."
They were a bit far away, and she knew that the person might not be able to hear her.
Jiang Keyu indeed didn't hear it, but this scene had appeared countless times in his once ordinary and satisfying life, and he knew what he should do now.
Change clothes and go eat.
He turned and left, and when he came back, both children had returned and were sitting obediently in their chairs.
Jiang Keyu sat down next to Jiang Suisui, helped her lift up her sleeve that was about to fall into the bowl, and concealed her own discomfort.
Song Baoyuan's attention was all on the children. While scooping soup for them, she asked, "Have you been good in the palace?"
"Good boy!" Jiang Suisui waved the spoon in her hand. "The Queen Mother asked me to go play with her. She praised me! She said I was amazing!"
"Great?" Song Baoyuan was puzzled. "Why are you being praised?"
Jiang Suisui shook her head, "Because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only spoke to me."
Jiang Keyu's eyelids twitched. It was unclear whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince dared not to speak or was unwilling to speak. He seemed like a mute even in front of His Majesty.
He asked curiously, "What did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say to you?"
"He said..." Jiang Suisui's face was tense, as if imitating an expression, "Get lost!"
Jiang Keyu: “?”
Song Baoyuan frowned, "And then?"
"Then I performed a rolling show for him!" Jiang Suisui swayed her body. "I rolled back and forth on his bed, and then I fell asleep."
Song Baoyuan was worried. After all, the palace rules were strict and the other party was the most noble prince.
She shifted her gaze and looked at Jiang Keyu who seemed to be lost in thought.
Jiang Keyu immediately noticed the gaze and could guess what she was thinking. Without hesitation, he comforted her, "It's okay."
Song Baoyuan still looked worried.
"Ahem." Jiang Keyu cleared her throat. "As for His Royal Highness's situation, anything he says is better than nothing. Although he's difficult to get along with, he has a kind heart. Even if he doesn't like someone, the most he can do is drive them away, nothing worse."
Song Baoyuan was skeptical.
Jiang Keyu picked up a handkerchief and wiped her daughter's mouth.
He asked tentatively, "I heard that you sold your property. Is it related to Xie and me?"
Song Baoyuan turned her face away and picked up some food for her son.
She said calmly, "In the final analysis, it's about finishing my own business."
The two of them didn't look at each other.
After getting this confirmation, combined with what he learned from Chang Yunbai, Jiang Keyu was able to piece together the whole process of the incident, and even felt a strange feeling in his heart.
If they spend all their money to save him, it proves that he is still very important, right?
"Don't worry." Jiang Keyu said seriously, "Give me some time, I will find a way to make it back."
Song Baoyuan pursed her lips and said, "No need."
She lowered her eyes and stared at her empty bowl. "Didn't you say I should take control of it? Besides, it's my responsibility. In the past, because... you were the one taking care of everything. Now it's different. I have the time and energy."
"What I'm saying is..."
outsider.
Jiang Keyu paused.
To her, am I not an outsider now?
Thinking of this, my mood is like the fallen leaves that have just been blown by the wind, slowly falling down.
*
At night, everything is quiet.
Mud hit Song Baoyuan's face, blurring her vision and splashing into her ears and nose. She wanted to scream for help, but her mouth was blocked and she could only make intermittent, weak and incomprehensible sounds.
Gradually, the mud covered her head and she couldn't breathe.
"call!"
Song Baoyuan sat up in shock on the bed and took a breath of cold air.
Realizing that she had another nightmare of being buried alive, she immediately looked to her side. Fortunately, her daughter next to her was not awakened by her.
Qiao Yin pushed the door open carefully and checked the incense burner first. She lit the calming incense, but it seemed to have no effect.
"Miss, are you having nightmares again?" Qiao Yin walked to the bedside. "You wake up every two hours or less. You haven't had a full night's sleep in a long time. How can your body bear this? Why don't you see a doctor and get some more medicine?"
It's useless, Song Baoyuan knows it best.
She sat there in a daze, the fear still in her eyes. She looked like she had just survived a catastrophe and hadn't recovered yet.
"Miss?"
Song Baoyuan held up her head and shook it, trying to wake herself up.
Qiao Yin was at a loss, feeling both worried and distressed.
Song Baoyuan glanced at her daughter again, her uneasy heart trembling all the time.
"You stay and look after Sui Sui." She whispered, "I'm going out for a walk."
"Let the nurse come and see. I will accompany you, young lady."
Song Baoyuan shook her head and said, "I'm fine. I can just walk around."
Qiao Yin seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.
Song Baoyuan moved slowly, picked up the thin cloak on the hanger, and walked out silently.
The cooler it was outside, the more she knew where she was.
This was her home, not some dirt pit that was about to be filled.
She didn't carry a lantern, but walked forward aimlessly, clutching her cloak in her hand.
My steps are heavy and my heart is depressed.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, she felt a little tired and sat down on a rock. She looked up and saw the Bazhao doghouse first, then the mottled courtyard wall.
She naturally thought of the person who always liked to lean on the wall and talk to her.
It's been so long.
She stood up again and paced along the wall.
She stepped on a small stone, picked it up, held it in her palm, and looked at it for a long time.
As if possessed by a ghost, she threw the stone hard and it landed on the other side of the wall.
She tilted her head back and waited for a moment.
Of course, nothing happened.
She knew the outcome better than anyone else.
But why did she still throw the stone?
Because she always has a lucky glimmer of hope.
Song Baoyuan tightened her palms and her eyes suddenly felt sore.
Once or twice.
She knew clearly that her brother didn't like her and that he was using her as a pretext for revenge.
She knew clearly that their status was different and that he had no say in the matter.
But she still wants to get married.
If you don't learn your lesson, it's your own fault.
…
Deep in the corridor, half of Jiang Keyu's figure was visible behind the eaves.
He kept following and watching, feeling anxious.
What is his Ayuan thinking at this moment?
His Ayuan looks really sad.
