On the way back to Yinglin Garden from Lichuan, Xiao Jiu always thought about his plan in his heart.

He went to ask Master Su Heng about Elder Qihua before, not on a whim, but because he wanted to take advantage of Luo Li's feelings for Qihua and lead him down the mountain.

After several days of turbulence, the carriage finally stopped steadily at the gate of Yinglin Garden.

After getting out of the carriage, Xiao Jiu hurriedly took out some silver taels from his money bag and stuffed them into the coachman's hands.

"You've worked hard to escort you all the way, these silver taels should be enough to go back to the sharp, farewell."

This coachman was specially hired by Yantong, but Xiao Jiu was sympathetic to the hard work of this coachman for several days, so he stuffed some silver money into him.

"Thank you, Lord Alliance, the silver given by Boss Xu is already enough, you don't dare to accept the silver anymore."

Seeing that the coachman was not greedy for money, Xiao Jiu couldn't help but be surprised.

There are many people who are greedy for money in this world, and it is the first time he has encountered a person like a coachman.

"My husband asked you to take it, you just take it, you never eat at the same table with us all the way, but only use your own dry food, it's really pitiful, take this silver back, it's good to add more meat along the way!"

As soon as Manxue saw Xiao Jiu stuffing silver into the coachman, she immediately understood what Xiao Jiu meant.

Seeing that the coachman hesitated not to accept it, he hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him.

The coachman's eyes were red when he heard this, and he lowered his head and did not speak.

After a while, he choked up and said

"Don't hide it from the alliance leader, Miss Manxue, the villain's wife died in childbirth half a month ago, all because the villain was greedy for some small money, and accompanied Liu Gongzi on the street to go home late from alcoholism, and the stable woman arrived...... The lady has already been in the past...... Child...... Didn't save ...... either."

Xiao Jiu didn't expect that this coachman had experienced such an encounter before.

With a light sigh, Xiao Jiu finally took out two ingots of silver from his waist bag, and stuffed them into the coachman's hand along with the previous ones.

"Your Excellency, don't grieve too much, take this silver, go back to Lichuan and set up a small shop, and when the business is bigger, marry a virtuous wife, and live well. If your deceased wife knew about it, she would be happy for you. ”

After hesitating for a long time, the coachman finally wiped his nose, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, knelt on the ground and gave Xiao Jiu three times.

"The villain thanks the alliance leader for his guidance, if the villain is developed in the future, he will not forget the great kindness of the alliance leader."

Seeing him like this, Xiao Jiu hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.

"Huh! Hurry up! Don't kneel, you've worked hard all the way, do you want to go to the garden first to rest before leaving? ”

The coachman only shook his head, turned and got into the carriage, turned his horse's head, and whipped away.

Until the carriage was far away, Chen Yaofang stepped forward with a sneer

"The alliance leader and his wife are really kind! Aren't you afraid that this coachman is a liar? ”

In her eyes, Xiao Jiu and Man Xue's behavior is simply stupid.

If it were himself, he would never pay attention to these vulgar and lowly people.

Without waiting for Xiao Jiu to reply, Manxue was busy and unhappy

"Liars? How can it be a scammer? Didn't you just listen to him? His wife has died in childbirth, can you have some sympathy? ”

"Compassion? Scold! What a stupid woman, one day she was calculated, and eighty percent of them still don't know! If someone sells it, you have to help people count the money! ”

"You...... You cold-hearted woman, Miss Ben wants to be as familiar as you! Hum! ”

Seeing that she couldn't say anything to the other party, Man Xue threw down a sentence and dragged Xiao Jiu who was stunned on the side away.

"Husband, let's go! Ignore this cold-blooded and ruthless bad woman! ”

Chen Yao was not annoyed, he just snorted coldly and kept up with Xiao Jiu's pace.

In the past few days that Xiao Jiu and Man Xue have been out, the garden has been peaceful, but the news of the death of Fang Ying, the wife of the alliance leader, has already spread.

Even in Yinglin Garden, there are many maids and maids who are rumored, all saying that Xiao Jiu is empathetic and does not fall in love with Chen Yao, so he will force the pregnant Fang Ying to death.

Xiao Jiu didn't care about these rumors, but when he had time to go to Nanyuan to visit Dailu, he was complained by Dailu for a while!

"What a good girl Fang Ying? Why don't you know contentment? I've heard about it, and you gave her a letter of resignation...... Hughed out of the house? ”

It was clear that Delou was angry about this.

At that time, Xiao Jiu was honestly kneeling in front of his mother, listening to his word by word.

"The mother didn't know that the child was not as ruthless as the rumors said, but ...... The child has a last resort. ”

Delu was also dizzy with anger for a while, if it was in the past, she would not be willing to say such heavy words to Xiao Jiu.

But the rumors were so ugly that everyone said that their son was a cold-blooded negative man, and she would even go to the street to pick up some rouge gouache, and she would unconsciously hear the vendors talking about the stalls.

But looking at Xiao Jiu's aggrieved look, as if there was really any grievance, Dailu's heart softened suddenly.

"Child, what's the problem, you might as well tell your mother, maybe your mother can help you?"

Knowing that his mother was worried about herself, but she was afraid that her mother was even more worried about herself, Xiao Jiu still decided to hide her fate.

"Don't worry! The child will take care of this. ”

Seeing that Xiao Jiu insisted on not speaking, Dailu was not reluctant.

"That's it! It's cold on the ground, you get up first! "As soon as she entered the door, Xiao Jiu always knelt on the ground, and she was negligent and didn't let Xiao Jiu get up." By the way, you are going to Lichuan, and you can see Ciwei? ”

After slowly getting up from the ground, Xiao Jiu gently brushed the dust off his knees and hurriedly replied

"See, Ciwei's predecessor lives in the grandfather's house, and helps the grandfather plant flowers and water it! The child has informed the senior of Ciwei that she has taken you from the thatched hut to live in Yinglin Garden, and she also said that she wants the child to take her to apologize to you! ”

"I don't have to apologize." Ciwei bowed slightly, frowned slightly, and continued, "She has suffered all these years in order to protect me. In order to hide

Avoiding the minions of the river traces, hiding everywhere, for fear of being found by the enemy. Now that she has her own home, it is gratifying to be a mother. ”

was told by Delu like this, Xiao Jiu felt that he should thank his grandmother.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jiu decided to order someone to prepare some generous gifts and send them to Lichuan Su Mansion, which can be regarded as repaying Ciwei's predecessors for their protection of his mother for so many years.

……

Besides, this Jia Cheng, since he was released from Lichuan by Xiao Jiu, he has been depressed all day long and wandered outside.

As soon as he remembered the ruthless words in his grandfather's letter, he did not plan to return to Hu Chishan again.

Originally, he was reluctant to marry Jiang Zhen's youngest daughter Liang as his wife, but he reluctantly agreed for the sake of his grandfather's old and pitiful sake.

I didn't expect my grandfather to care so much about his life and death, if it weren't for Xiao Jiu's old feelings and letting himself go, I'm afraid he would have seen Hades a long time ago.

Now even if he returns to Hu Chishan, he still has to be forced to marry that ugly woman, thinking about it, he still plans to go back to the old mansion in Jiangzhen first and then think about it in the long run.

I remember that I hid some private money in the secret before leaving, anyway, I still have some business minds, so I might as well go to the edge of those remote mountain villages and open a small tea stall!

Although his dream is very full, but he is penniless, before being released by Xiao Jiu, the silver tickets and money bags he brought when he came were also scavenged by the people of the Wulin League.

From Lichuan to Jiangzhen, it will take half a month to say the least.

Along the way, you will not starve to death, but you will die of thirst.

But he can't just sit still, he still has to go, it's a big deal to hire a carriage himself, and then pay the silver after he arrives in Jiangzhen.

This Jia Cheng is worthy of taking care of business, and his mind is much more active than others.

It wasn't long before he hired a humble carriage.

It's just that as soon as he stepped into the car with one foot, his body was pulled down vigorously.

"Where are you going? It's really easy for subordinates to find! ”

Jia Cheng subconsciously turned to look at the person who came, and found that it was Jiang Zhen's person, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

The man drew his sword and pointed it at the coachman's neck, and before he could speak, the coachman led the carriage and ran away.

"Childe, you better go back with your subordinates! The head of the house has an order, if the son refuses to return to the mountain, he will be killed! ”

The man's threat was very strong, and Jia Cheng was so frightened that he almost peed his pants.

"Ho...... Why make such a big fuss? I...... I'll go with you......"

Seeing that Jia Cheng was still acquainted, Mei Xu hooked the corners of his lips lightly, and put the sword into the scabbard with neat movements.

"Please!"

All the way from Lichuan back to Hu Chishan, a lot of time was wasted.

Originally, Hu Chishan was located in the western border of the Eastern Continent, and it would take more than ten days to arrive, to say the least.

All the way back to Hu Chi Mountain, accompanied by this cold-blooded killer, Jia Cheng's heart was about to jump out of his mouth.

After being forced to bring it to Jiang Zhen, Jia Cheng suddenly weakened his legs and couldn't help but kneel on the ground.

"See......

I've seen the boss. ”

"Hey? Is the prospective son-in-law back? Why are you so polite, get up quickly, sit down. ”

Soon, Meixu, who came back with him, also arched his hand and stepped forward.

"Master, Jia Gongzi has been brought back by his subordinates, and there is another matter to report. The subordinates have found out that Elder Luo's right-hand man was assassinated in an alley in Lichuan, and when the subordinates led people to find it, the body already showed signs of decay. ”

Listening to Meixu's report, Jiang Zhen was nothing, but he frightened Jia Cheng on the side.

Jiang Zhen and Mei Xu both noticed the expression on Jia Cheng's face, but they didn't pay attention to it.

"You're doing a great job! Let's take Jia Gongzi down to rest first! Then tell Elder Luo about this. By the way, can the corpse of the eyebrow be brought back? ”

"This ...... But no, because the head didn't say anything, his subordinates ordered the people below to find a wasteland to bury ......"

Before Meixu finished speaking, Jia Cheng on the side suddenly had a tumultuous stomach in his stomach.

I just heard the sound of "bang-" and vomited all the contents of my stomach.

Jiang Zhen, who was seated, immediately stiffened his nose in disgust and blocked his mouth and nose with his cuffs.

"Son-in-law-to-be, what's wrong with you? Someone! Hurry up and clean it up! ”

Realizing his offense, Jia Cheng hurriedly turned around and returned the salute.

"Yes...... The juniors are abrupt, sorry. ”

"It's okay! Meixu, fast ...... Hurry up and take Jia Gongzi down to rest! ”

"Yes."

It wasn't until Jia Cheng was helped out of the door that Jiang Zhen finally yelled angrily, "Why don't you come in and clean up this seat!! ”
