Chapter 394: The Cold-Hearted Mother-in-law
The time has passed, and there is still no trace of Shaojiang, Jiang Zuiyao dozed off on the table, only sitting on the side with sharp eyes, I don't know where he got the energy, and I don't know if I am sleepy.
Until a sound of small footsteps sounded outside, Chopping Feng, who had been in a keen position all the year round, subconsciously clenched the sword in his waist, and with a gust of cold wind blowing in, Shaojiang slowly pushed the door in.
The cold wind slapped his face and blew it into his clothes along his neck, Jiang Zuiyao, who was half-asleep, shivered, and when he looked up and saw Shaojiang, the whole person was refreshed.
Shaojiang walked in, and in the face of the stranger Chopping Wind, he just glanced indifferently and found a chair to sit down.
Jiang Zuiyao slowly got up and called, "Father." ”
Shao Jiang clenched his cold hands and said, "Even if it's for Chu Yi, you shouldn't wait until this time in your mother-in-law's room." ”
Jiang Zuiyao realized that it must have been when Shaojiang entered the mansion, and the subordinates said a few gossips, after all, it was the Jiang family who brought Shaojiang back.
Jiang Zuiyao didn't answer this at all, and asked directly, "Father can raise enough 500,000 taels?" ”
Shaojiang frowned in embarrassment: "No, the silver has been exchanged for silver tickets, and now it is three hundred and seventy thousand taels." ”
Immediately, Shaojiang said helplessly: "When some people hear that it is about Ziqing, they can't wait to retreat, where are they willing to borrow silver." ”
Shaojiang knew very well that if the money was not ready, Chu Yi would be worried about his life, although he didn't mention this, he was still uneasy in his heart.
Jiang Zuiyao said: "I was in a hurry to call my father back, firstly, because the three-day time limit did not wait for anyone, and secondly, I found a way. ”
This immediately gave Shaojiang hope, and he hurriedly looked up at Jiang Zuiyao and asked, "What can you do?" ”
"The Queen Mother is willing to help." , four simple words, Shaojiang's hanging heart completely fell, revealing a rare smile: "If there is the Queen Mother's help, it will not be a problem, there is only 130,000 taels left at the moment, give me more time, and I will be able to repay this silver." ”
Jiang Zuiyao nodded: "That's why I called my father back, after all, I will leave tomorrow." ”
Shaojiang showed a little relief on his face and exclaimed: "Good, good, good!" It's just that...... Drunk Yao, there won't be any problems on the Taixuan clan's side, right? ”
Jiang Zuiyao replied: "Chu Yi is now in Shao Ziqing's place, there shouldn't be any problems." ”
Shaojiang immediately stood up anxiously and said anxiously: "Zui Yao, you must bring Chu Yi back safely!" My Shao family only has this one daughter, and she is now the princess of the world, but nothing can happen! ”
Jiang Zuiyao could naturally understand Shaojiang's heartfelt for his father, and replied: "Father, don't worry, although I can't personally escort Chu Yi back, I will do my best to protect her safety." ”
Shaojiang was still relieved, thought for a while, and said, "Why don't I send a few people with you and let them take Chu Yi back." ”
Jiang Zuiyao turned his head and glanced at Chopping Wind, although his face was expressionless, he had already proved everything. Jiang Zuiyao had no choice but to turn around and dissuade him: "If my father does this, it will cause the Taixuan clan to worry a lot, but it will backfire, the Taixuan clan just wants some money, give them money, they will naturally rest assured, after all, Chu Yi is not a key person." ”
Chu Yi has been lost for a long time, whether he is alive or dead is unknown to Shaojiang, he was so worried that he couldn't do it, and said: "Zui Yao, you must ensure that Chu Yi is safe, if something happens to Chu Yi, I ...... it."
"How are you?" , a voice full of doubt and displeasure sounded, coming from the chopping wind not far away.
Jiang Zuiyao looked at Chopping Wind in a slight surprise, but he didn't expect him to interject, and Shaojiang looked at it incredulously.
Chopping Wind slapped a pair of cold eyes on Shaojiang's body, with a look of indignation, but he didn't know where it came from.
Shaojiang was immediately unhappy: "Who are you?" I'm talking to Zui Yao, what do I have to do with you? ”
Chopping Wind didn't flinch, but said confidently: "You don't care who I am, it's just that as a bystander, I'm a little uneven." ”
Shaojiang didn't know where to mention the words for a while, and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Then, Chopping Feng didn't hide it, and replied directly: "From beginning to end, Jiang Zuiyao ran for your daughter, and you didn't say a word of thanks, but you still frowned at her, as if everything was her daughter-in-law should share!" ”
Shao Jiang inevitably felt nosy, but he still said: "Zui Yao is the daughter-in-law of my Shao family, and the daughter of my Shao family is also her sister, this is what she should do!" ”
He glanced at Shaojiang with disdain, and said coldly: "Now you know that she is the daughter-in-law of your Shao family?" She hasn't been at home for a few years, and in two or three months, the child will be two years old, have you looked for it? ”
A question immediately made Shaojiang not know how to speak.
Jiang Zuiyao on the side didn't expect that Chopping Wind would speak for her, so she accidentally forgot to speak for a while, and looked at Chopping Wind in disbelief with a pair of eyes.
Chopping Feng then said coldly: "Although it is the first time I have set foot in the Shao family, I can see a few points in the past two days, and your Shao family does not treat Jiang Zuiyao as a daughter-in-law at all." You don't have enough money, she thinks of helping you solve it, instead of being grateful, you are even worse, even if she can't bring Shao Chuyi back? She didn't catch people, you have this temper, why don't you dare to go to the Taixuan clan to get angry? ”
It was the first time for Jiang Zuiyao to see the wind like this, and Shaojiang didn't know who was standing in front of him, so he immediately said angrily: "The affairs of my Shao family have nothing to do with you!" ”
Also, in the end, Chopping Wind is just an outsider.
In order to avoid unnecessary disputes, Jiang Zuiyao stepped forward and said to Chopping Feng: "Forget it, you don't say a word." ”
Chopping Feng frowned: "It's just that I can't stand it, they don't appreciate it, even if they don't appreciate it, they still treat you so coldly, what kind of in-laws, heh, Shao Ziqing's in-laws treat you like this on weekdays?" ”
Jiang Zuiyao hurriedly gave Chopping Feng a look, signaled him to stop talking, turned to Shaojiang and said, "Father give me the silver, I'll go find the Queen Mother." ”
Shaojiang didn't say anything more, and took Jiang Zuiyao to get the silver, the sky was not yet dawn, and the night was still so cold, but he didn't say a warm word.
Jiang Zuiyao left the Shao Mansion and asked, "Do you want to enter the palace?" ”
Jiang Zuiyao looked at the dark sky and said, "Let's go to the palace, why don't you wait until dawn." ”
Chopping Feng said again: "Tomorrow is the last day, you shouldn't go back to Shaofu, right?" ”
Jiang Zuiyao nodded: "I'm not coming back." Chop Feng, tell me the truth, if he gave the head of the family money, would he really let Chu Yi go? ”
Chopping Feng also nodded: "The boss wants her life to be useless, and it is not good for the head to die if she dies, and the head will not cause trouble." ”
It seems that the head of the family is really just using this to extort money, and Shao Ziqing is relieved.
A few steps after walking out, Chopping Wind suddenly asked, "When you come back, why don't you see your mother's family coming?" ”
Mother's family? These three words were too unfamiliar to Jiang Zuiyao, and she smiled coldly: "Since I got married, they have ignored me." ”
Chopping Feng sighed deeply: "It seems that you are a father who doesn't love your mother, Chu Yi is also married, and the Shao family is so worried, look at you again." You have been gone for so long and suddenly come back, the Shao family will definitely inform your mother's family about this, but you don't see your mother's family, aren't they worried about you? ”
Jiang Zuiyao didn't reply, there are some things that shouldn't be thought about, because it's useless to think about them.
