Chapter 80: The Hidden Scourge of Drought

From time to time, she also remembered the time when she fought with Qiao Jing, but at this time, compared to those, she was more willing to accompany Jiang Xu and face the future strongly. No matter what happens in the future, he doesn't have any regrets in his heart, and this state is what she really wants.

Shu Qing lay on the collapse leisurely, bored looking at the scenery outside the door, it was now the middle of summer, and the constant calling made Shu Qing sleep. Looking at the shadows under the trees, Shu Qing inevitably remembered his past, he didn't expect time to pass so quickly, and now he hasn't remembered the original Xu Xiangrou for a long time.

Shu Qing now thinks back that even Xiao Rou's face is a little blurred, and even the pain of being burned to death by fire is beginning to blur, Shu Qing doubts in her heart whether she will stay in this person's body for longer and then forget who she used to be.

Shu Qing just thought blankly, but she didn't notice that anyone had come to her side. "Shu Qing, why are you lying here, what about those maids? No one is taking care of you? Do they want to be beheaded?" Qiao Jing sat next to Shu Qing kindly, and asked Shu Qing with some concern.

Shu Qing was a little sane at this time, and when he saw Qiao Jing getting angry there, he had to look at him coquettishly, "Jiang Xu takes care of me very well, who dares to serve me well, it's just that there are too many people, and it's too hot, just let them all pile up in front of me, and I feel annoyed and panicked." ”

Jiang Xu touched Shu Qing's hair with some love, and casually picked up the fan not far away and fanned Shu Qing, Shu Qing would not refuse her husband's favor for herself, she also deliberately got a little closer, "It's so comfortable, Jiang Xu, you continue, but you have so much time to come to me today?"

Jiang Xu also has his own position in the court, and he is usually very busy, but why did he have time to come to find himself today, Jiang Xu nodded his soothing nose a little funny, "What a little cleverness, I came to you on purpose today to avoid trouble, so you are not welcome?"

"Woe to you...... Jiang Xu, what happened?" Shu Qing immediately sat up when he heard this, Jiang Xu usually didn't want to go to the court to serve, even if he went, he was messing around, and now he can let Jiang Xu say this, something must have happened to the court, Shu Qing was a little worried.

Jiang Xu knew that Shu Qing was smart, but he really had no choice, he could only come to his wife to avoid being scolded by others or entrusted with important tasks, Shu Qing was kind-hearted, Jiang Xu didn't know whether to let her know about this natural disaster. But looking at the comfortable and longing eyes, Jiang Xu compromised.

Shu Qing only then knew that there was an accident in the country again, since the valley rain in recent months, there has been no rain in the north, which has caused a great drought, and the farmers have paid their labor but have no harvest, coupled with the hot weather, there is no water to drink in the north, many people have left their homeland, and there are countless refugees for a while.

Shu Qing couldn't believe it, there should have been a trend like this kind of drought a long time ago, and it is impossible to break out all of a sudden, Shu Qing asked Jiang Xu only to know that the local officials had already found out, but they were afraid of punishment and kept concealing it, thinking that they were waiting for a while, but the consequences became more and more serious, so they hurriedly reported it.

"What a bunch of corrupt officials, they all deserve to be sentenced to death. Shu Qing didn't expect that Xuan Guo had become like this now, Su Yang was mediocre, even the local officials dared to be so bold, a thought flashed quickly in Shu Qing's heart, but she didn't catch it.

Jiang Xu didn't expect this, looking at his angry sister in front of him, thinking that he had the same reaction when he knew the news, but so what, Jiang Xu knew that he didn't want to get involved in these disputes, so he had to come here in a hurry to find comfort.

Besides, Jiang Xu still had some doubts in his heart, could this kind of deception be done by just a few small local officials? Jiang Xu didn't want to think about it, so he had to change the topic, "Shuqing, I heard that you have been investigating this matter privately recently, is this true?"

Shu Qing was still very angry, but she was a little shy when Jiang Xu asked her like this, but she really liked Jiang Xu, so she could naturally say to her husband, "It's true, although everyone says that Qiao Jing likes me, but you are the one who understands me best, I like you." ”

The comfort of sweet confession here didn't know that Qiao Jing, who was far away, was sitting together at the moment. Shu Qing didn't want to say anything to her husband Jiang Xu, "Jiang Xu, I still have something to do, and I'm not in the mood to accompany you to drink tea here in a leisurely and elegant manner, and I hope that my husband can be considerate." ”

Su Xiuyuan's eyes dimmed, but he still had something to ask Su Xiangyang, "Second brother, wait, I have something to ask you." Su Xiangyang, who originally wanted to leave, also stopped, his eyes were fixed on Su Xiuyuan, Su Xiuyuan didn't mind, and the matter was very generous.

Su Xiangyang didn't get any benefits from his husband, so he sat down with some anger, picked up the teacup casually, and said while drinking, "Husband, if you have anything you want to ask, I really have something to do, after all, I am not like my husband, there are others to help me everywhere." ”

Shu Qing ignored Jiang Xu's sour words, he muttered for a while, "I just want to ask you and Qiao Jing...... There are rumors that you have been in close contact with Qiao Jing recently, is it true?" Shu Qing actually knew that Jiang Xu would ask this question, and he already knew about the rumors in Beijing, but he didn't care.

Shu Qing looked at Jiang Xu and nodded, but it was this action that made Jiang Xu's heart ache, Jiang Xu knew Su Xiuyuan's thoughts about Shu Qing, but Shu Qing was a ladder he had chosen a long time ago, and he would not allow Qiao Jing to snatch it. "Husband, I know your affection for me, but Bai Yi only has me in her heart, so you should not be delusional, so as not to be sad. ”

Jiang Xu didn't expect Qiao Jing to say it so clearly, "Shuqing, I have always put up with your careful thinking before, but this time you also put your mind on others, I will be welcome." Qiao Jing smiled disdainfully, he didn't expect that Jiang Xu was still threatening himself now.

Jiang Xu had said similar things before, but he had always remembered brotherly affection in his heart and didn't make a move, but recently Qiao Jing has become more and more excessive, "Jiang Xu, I'm waiting for your unkindness, and I will retire in advance." Qiao Jing didn't pay attention to Jiang Xu at all, because Jiang Xu knew that Shuqing's heart was on his body.

Jiang Xu didn't expect that Qiao Jing was so fearless now, and that beautiful and poetic woman was deceived by his own Qiao Jing like this? As long as Jiang Xu thought of Shuqing talking and chatting with Qiao Jing in the future, his heart would be cut like a knife.
