Chapter 244: Redemption?
Jiang Yu got up and was about to go to the ground, but because she had just caused a cold and high fever, her body was very weak for a day and night, and she lifted the quilt violently, and she felt that her eyes were black and the tip of her nose was cold, and the movements in her hands were also a little stagnant. However, her eyes widened, and she didn't subconsciously close her eyes like ordinary dizzy people, so Huo Shijiu didn't see it.
"Girl, you stay in the house, I'll come back when I go to see what happened to my father-in-law." Huo Shijiu was not at ease, and pressed Jiang Yan's shoulder and said, "Father-in-law won't do anything to me, aren't you still at ease?" ”
"I'm really not at ease." Jiang Yu raised her head and said seriously: "If I am not around, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not bully you verbally, and you will not resist if you are in the way of your father-in-law." He grabbed the neatly folded orange peel and red jacket and put it on, combed his long hair with his fingers, pulled it up at will, fixed it with a gold-inlaid jade hairpin, and shrunk his neck to drape the white-haired collar that rested on the kang cabinet on the side, and said, "I'll go with you." ”
Huo Shijiu saw that Jiang Yu was so stubborn, and no matter how much he persuaded him, it might not be useful, so he stopped stopping and picked up the royal blue robe to wear.
Jiang Yu saw that he had a bandage wrapped around his hand, frowned and stepped forward to tie the strap of the collar buckle, and asked, "How did you get hurt?" ”
"I fell." Huo Nineteen was half the truth.
Jiang Yu squinted at him, "Such a big person, can't walk steadily?" If you don't say it, I can know it. ”
"It's true that I fell, and in the palace, I just staged a play with the emperor." Huo Jiujiu took her hand, "You don't have to think about it, the emperor has promised me to change it, and I won't let him be proud forever." ”
Jiang Yu heard the resoluteness in his words. Inevitably worried, he said: "Don't be impatient. It's better to think long-term. The foundation of the British public power was not built overnight. If you want to dismantle him, you can't do it overnight. ”
"I know." Huo Shijiu put on a hood for her, combed the broken hair on her sideburns, and lifted the cotton curtain.
The servants in front of the door saluted in unison.
The two of them got out of the danqi, stepped on the snow until the front yard, and entered the front hall.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Jiang Xuewen's back sitting in a wooden wheelchair.
Xu heard footsteps, and Jiang Xuewen slowly turned around. Seeing Jiang Yu and Huo Shijiu, she didn't speak immediately.
Huo Shijiu took Jiang Yan's hand and asked her to sit on the circle chair with official green mattresses placed side by side. He also ordered someone to move the charcoal basin closer, and also took a brass hand stove and put a handkerchief on Jiang Yan's knees for her to hold and cover her hands.
After a while, Huo Shijiu gave Jiang Xuewen a salute: "My father-in-law's visit is really unexpected." ”
The corners of Jiang Xuewen's lips twitched, he didn't say anything for a long time, turned his gaze to Jiang Yan, and said in a low voice: "Sister Yu, are you better?" ”
Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment, and the fingers of her hands holding the hand stove tightened. What is he asking?
Huo Jiu smiled: "It's just a cold." You're getting better. ”
Jiang Xuewen did not answer Huo Shijiu, and looked at Jiang Yan with his eyes like torches. Said: "Ago, someone from the British Mansion came to deliver a letter and asked me to go to the banquet, but I didn't go. Then they wrote again, saying that I had missed a good show......"
"Master Jiang." Jiang Yusheng interrupted Jiang Xuewen's words, and said with a blue face: "Whatever you want to say, just say it." ”
He just heard that Jiang Yu committed suicide by throwing herself into the lake, and he was very worried.
But Jiang Wei is now like a hedgehog that has been provoked, the thorns all over her body are erect, and his words are choked in her throat.
If he had stayed in the past, he would not have cared so much, even if Jiang Wei was drugged, it was because she chose the wrong path and did not listen to him.
But now, after the little emperor and Huo Jiujiu talked to him so much, and after the British duke played him, the balance in his heart had already begun to tilt.
Seeing Jiang Xuewen silent. Jiang Yu stood up and said, "If Lord Jiang doesn't give orders, please go back." ”
"Sister Girl. Are you going to have a stalemate with me like this? ”
Jiang Yu said: "Otherwise? I am no longer your daughter, so I will not disgrace you anymore, and you live your honest and honest life, so don't get involved with traitors like us. Oh yes. Jiang Yu suddenly said: "I forgot, Master Jiang also saw people put dishes, and you believe it very much." ”
Jiang Xuewen's face turned red, and he couldn't find the words to refute it. He didn't know when, he couldn't even make any sense in front of Jiang Wei.
"Sister Girl, I'm your father!"
"You're my dad now? It's funny, did I burn down the house and burn out your family affection? Jiang Yu said: "Lord Jiang, you are full of lofty ambitions, I admire you." But you want to kill your daughter and grandson, without any regard for blood and kinship, and I hate it even more. I don't want to get entangled with you any deeper, wouldn't it be better to end it here? People outside the left and right will only say that I, a dirty woman, am not filial, and I will definitely not tarnish your good name. Maybe I can get you more sympathy because of this. Wouldn't that be nice? Please go back. It's better not to see each other again. ”
Jiang Yu hugged the stove and pulled Huo Shijiu to leave.
Jiang Xuewen only felt that his heart was like a knife, and he gritted his teeth, so that he could suppress the retention he blurted out in his abdomen, and only forced him to say calmly: "The news that you committed suicide by throwing yourself into the lake is now spreading outside, you should be careful yourself." ”
Jiang Wei paused, and then said, "Don't bother." ”
Back in the master bedroom, Jiang Yu seemed to have fought a battle, tiredly holding the official green pillow leaning on the kang, and said to Huo Shijiu, who had been silent beside him, for a long time: "A-Ying, is he going back?" ”
"Don't worry, I have arranged for someone to protect me."
"That's good." Jiang Yu hesitated, and then asked: "The matter of my throwing into the lake is known all over the city?" ”
This matter is very colorful, of course, there is someone behind the scenes, and this person knows who it is.
Huo Jiu touched her head and said, "Don't worry about this kind of thing. ”
"I don't care. In fact, I don't care what outsiders say about me, I only care what the people I care about think of me. ”
Huo Jiudao: "You will always be the best in my eyes." ”
Although Jiang Wei knew that Huo Shijiu's words also had elements of comfort in her, and a smart person like him must have seen the awkwardness in her heart, she couldn't help but bend the corners of her mouth, got up and snuggled into Huo Shijiu's arms, and said, "The past, since it has happened, I will admit it." I'm not someone who dares to do it. Don't worry about me, either. ”
Knowing that she was being reckless, Huo Shijiu was still glad that she could tell her words frankly.
Jiang Yu hesitated again: "I'm worried that the British Duke will still use my father." ”
"Don't worry, I arranged someone, it's fine."
No matter how ruthless he is verbally, he is still Jiang Yan's father after all. Huo Shijiu knew that Jiang Xue valued love and righteousness, and the reason why he treated Jiang Xuewen so coldly now was because he was too disappointed.
"Go back to the Hou Ye." Bingsong replied outside the door: "The old lady and the second master are here, and the emperor has arranged for the imperial doctor to come to ask the lady for a pulse, and everyone is coming here at this time." ”
Jiang Yu and Huo Shijiu sat up straight and glanced at each other.
It's bad, Huo Dazhuan and Huo Twenty rushed here like this, they must have known some information.
I don't know how to spread rumors outside, wouldn't it be bad if they misunderstood Jiang Yan?
Huo Jiujiu grabbed his hair.
He was very tired, and he felt that he hadn't made up yet, but things happened one after another, but Jiang Yu needed to rest more than him.
"You rest here, let the Imperial Doctor come in and show you. I'll go see Dad and Amin first. ”
Jiang Yu thought about it and nodded in response.
After the imperial doctor checked Jiang Wei's pulse, he read the medicine prescribed by Dr. Zhou, discussed increasing or decreasing the dosage of some medicinal materials, and then went into the palace to return to the little emperor's words.
Huo Nineteen came back not long ago, only to say that Huo Dazhuan and Huo Twenty Yi both went back. Jiang Wei was curious about how he persuaded people to leave, but she didn't ask in detail.
After staying like this for two days, Jiang Fei's health was already well, and she was sure that she would not give her illness to the elderly and children when she returned home, so they set off to go back.
In fact, the house on Wuyuan Bo Street is not far from Huofu, and the carriage stopped after a while.
As soon as I got out of the car, I saw a familiar figure.
"Red Phoenix girl?" Jiang Yu smiled in surprise: "Why are you in front of the Hou Mansion?" ”
"Madam, Master Hou." Pei Hongfeng saluted the two of them and said respectfully: "It's the situation of our girl, Mrs. Danxin, specially let me take a look." When I came before, the master of the house said that Mrs. and Master Hou were in another courtyard and would come back in two days, so I came to take a look. ”
Pei Hongfeng took out an envelope from his arms, presented it to Jiang Yu with both hands, and said, "This is for the lady to be a lady, please take a look." He simply said goodbye and left.
Jiang Yu and Huo Shijiu got into the carriage and went all the way to Xiaoyi Courtyard. In the carriage, she opened the letter.
Yang Xi didn't write any polite words, but directly expressed her worries, and asked about Cao Yu's situation euphemistically, saying that she had heard about Du Mingyuan's situation and was willing to help, and finally made an appointment, when to invite the Ye family girl to come out, she wanted to thank her in person, and thanked her for returning the jade plate to its owner.
Jiang Yu folded the letter and stuffed it back into the envelope, and said, "I haven't been busy these days, and I don't know what happened to the kite." ”
"I heard the rain talk back once, but you happened to be feverish, so I didn't tell you. Lord Du went back and investigated thoroughly and grounded Cui's feet. Your good sister is eating and drinking well now, and the two stepsisters want to cause trouble, but they don't dare to make trouble because they are protected by the rain. ”
Jiang Yu immediately felt comfortable. The heavy stone that had been pressing on his heart for a few days was removed, and he said with a smile: "Your reputation as a great traitor is really useful, if you were a gentle one, they would not be so afraid of you." It seems that I am really right when I say that I am a fox and a tiger. ”
Huo Jiu smiled and said, "The husband has to work harder, and be a mighty tiger." ”
The two laughed and talked, and soon came to the upper room.
got out of the carriage and was just about to enter the house, but saw Sixi running in hurriedly from outside.
"Hou Ye, Hou Ye! The emperor's father-in-law Jing is here! (To be continued......)
