"What are you talking about?" Jiang Wang turned his head to look at her, with a slight smile on his face: "You didn't help me take care of Zhan Wen before, how could I not worry about you?"

I just didn't want to leave him, and looking at him, I felt a little more at ease. ”

Zhao Yan nodded: "It's understandable for my mother-in-law to say so."

Let's talk about going to the banquet, if there is something at home that does not go to the palace, Your Majesty should not blame, after all, it is excusable. ”

Jiang Wang opened his mouth, trying to persuade her.

But in the end I held back.

She can't be too deliberate, otherwise Zhao Yan will definitely be suspicious.

"If my mother-in-law has nothing to do, I'll step back first." Zhao Yan saluted her and slowly retreated.

Jiang Wang clenched his fist and hammered it on his leg.

This damn Zhao Yan is really hard to coax.

At dinner time.

Jiang Wang's family asked people to call Zhao Yan.

"Mother-in-law." Zhao Yan looked at her with a smile: "What are your orders?" ”

"I'll go ahead and have dinner with your father-in-law." Jiang Wang raised his hand: "Zhanwen here, you help me take care of it first." ”

"Can my mother-in-law trust me?" Zhao Yan's face was slightly surprised.

"I have never doubted you when I said this." Jiang Wang patted her on the shoulder: "Later, I'll change you." ”

"Okay." Zhao Yan nodded in response.

She smiled and watched Jiang Wang go out of the door, and beckoned to Xiyu by the door.

She knew that Jiang Wang's order was to win her trust, so that she could go to the palace for a banquet the day after tomorrow.

And she was waiting for this opportunity, which happened to make Jiang Huaifu press her handprint.

I took the ink and lifted the lid.

Leaf stepped forward and took Jiang Huaifu's right hand and dye his thumb in the clay box.

Zhao Yan spread out and left the book.

Pity the rain and watch the wind by the door.

The division of labor between the master and the servant is clear, and the hand speed is extremely fast.

After just a few breaths, Zhao Yan put away the book and left it.

I took the time to get water with the Leaf and carefully washed the mud on Jiang Huaifu's fingers.

Jiang Huaifu woke up and saw Zhao Yan letting the maid serve him like this, and he was so excited that he burst into tears.

He was wrong in the past, and thought that Zhao Yan was a black-hearted person, but he didn't expect that Zhao Yan would have such a kind and considerate side when he saw the truth in adversity.

Zhao Yan took the book and left it, and had a quick headache in her heart, so she fed him half a bowl of bird's nest egg custard very "virtuously".

When Jiang Wang came back, he was relieved to see that Jiang Huaifu was fine.

"Zhao Yan." She smiled and spoke.

"Mother-in-law, half a bowl is fed, so you don't have to feed it at night, right?" Zhao Yan put down the bowl and spoon.

"Yes." Jiang Wang took a step forward: "I just went to ask your father-in-law."

He said, he is still relieved that I am watching Zhanwen at home, this is the heart of a parent, can you understand? ”

"Hmm." Zhao Yan nodded, very sensible: "Pity the hearts of parents in the world, mother-in-law, I understand." ”

Jiang Wang nodded: "So, you ...... about entering the palace for the banquet."

"Okay." Zhao Yan responded happily: "Since my father-in-law and mother-in-law mean this, then I might as well be respectful." ”

"Okay." Jiang Wang smiled and nodded, relieved.

＊

The next evening.

Jiang Qingrou's people stared at it for two days and one night, and finally caught Zhao Ruxiu in the evening.

Gu Lifu heard the movement.

It was Zhao Yan who sent someone to inform him in advance and asked him to let Zhao Ruxiu go out at this hour.

kindly told him that the person who came to arrest Zhao Ruxiu was sent by Zhao Ruxiu's mother, Jiang Qingrou, and if he didn't want to show up, he didn't have to worry about it.

If he wants to show his face, he has no choice, it all depends on his will.

Even if he wants to marry Zhao Ruxiu, as long as he has the ability.

He pondered, a sneer tugging at the corner of his lips.

Zhao Yan has exhausted all his skills, I am afraid that he has long known that it is impossible for a person like him to love a willful and brainless woman like Zhao Ruxiu, but he is not worried about him helping Zhao Ruxiu at all.

The movement outside gradually became quieter.

He went out and glanced at the alley, where it was empty.

In the carriage, Zhao Ruxiu's hands were tied behind her back, and her mouth was strangled by strips of cloth.

She whimpered and struggled, slamming sideways against the wall of the carriage.

The maidservants did not dare to provoke her, but only protected her from injury, and no one dared to speak to her.

The carriage was moving very fast down the road.

Jiang Qingrou waited in front of the gate of the Huai'an Hou Mansion, looking anxiously towards the end of the road.

Mama Chen was on the side, also looking anxious.

Just now, a little girl has already come back on horseback to report the news, saying that she has found it, the fourth girl, and she is back in the carriage.

"It's coming, it's coming!"

Mama Chen became excited.

She saw a carriage at the end of the road.

Jiang Qingrou took a few steps forward.

The carriage soon came to a halt before the two.

"Ma'am."

The little man who drove the carriage saluted.

"Can you bring someone back?" Jiang Qingrou asked.

"Brought it back." The little guy hurriedly replied: "It's in the carriage." ”

"Have you ever seen it?" Jiang Qingrou asked again.

"The alley is in the middle of nowhere, and there are no people to come by." The little guy shook his head.

"That's good." Jiang Qingrou breathed a sigh of relief, her tone was gentle, and her voice was not loud: "Pass the word, in the future, in this family, when I hear anyone talking about the matter of the four girls, or the news of the matter of the four girls, I will sell all the subordinates in this family, and not one will be kept!" ”

"Yes."

The subordinates on the side couldn't help but bow their heads, everyone knew that this housewife looked kind, but in fact had thunderous means.

This is a message from one person, and he wants to connect all his subordinates.

Who wouldn't?

If someone dares to disobey Jiang Qingrou's wishes, I'm afraid that Jiang Qingrou doesn't need to do it, and that person will have to be beaten to death by these subordinates in the family.

"Drive the carriage into my yard." Jiang Qingrou commanded.

"Yes." The little guy got into the carriage again.

Jiang Qingrou followed beside the carriage, and after a while, the little servant drove the carriage slowly into the courtyard.

"Go down, all of you." Jiang Qingrou commanded.

As soon as he was gone, the subordinates who were waiting in front of her and Zhao Ruxiu retreated.

Jiang Qingrou took a deep breath: "Mama Chen, bring people into the house." ”

As she spoke, she went into the house.

"Ma'am." Mama Chen took a step forward.

"How?" Jiang Qingrou looked back at her.

Mama Chen leaned closer and persuaded her: "Wait a while, you can tell the fourth girl, don't do it."

The fourth girl, she has been pampered since she was a child, and she can't stand you treating her like that.

The more you hit her, the more disobedient she will be, and you have to coax her. ”

She has been an old man who has been waiting for Jiang Qingrou all the way, and she has always been loyal, and every word is sincere.

"I'll try my best." Jiang Qingrou nestled a fire in her belly.

She also knew that Mama Chen was right.

She had never touched a finger of her two daughters before.

After slapping Xiu'er that time, it was as if she couldn't hold it anymore, and she was going to hit her at every turn.

However, it's no wonder that Xiu'er is not sensible, and she chokes on her every time.

Zhao Ruxiu was pushed into the room by several maids working together, and looked at Jiang Qingrou with a stubborn expression.

She was not convinced.

Aren't you looking for her?

Isn't she alive and well out there?

What are you doing when you tie her up?

"Put strips of cloth on her mouth." Jiang Qingrou couldn't see her like this, raised her hand, turned her face away from her, and held back the anger in her heart.

The handmaidens were about to do it.

Mama Chen stepped forward and said, "I'll come, you all go down." ”

The handmaidens bowed and withdrew.

Mama Chen untied the cloth for Zhao Ruxiu, and persuaded her: "Fourth girl, you have been outside for several days this time, and Mrs. is worried that she can't sleep every night, so I'm worried that something wrong with the girl."

If the girl has anything to say, please tell her wife.

You are a mother and daughter, what can you have an overnight feud? Madame's most painful person, after all, is you, girl! ”

She persuaded her bitterly, but Zhao Ruxiu only regarded it as a deaf ear and couldn't listen to it at all.

As soon as she took the strip of cloth, she immediately shouted to Jiang Qingrou: "Since you don't hurt me, why are you still catching me back?" Send me away, let me go! ”

Jiang Qingrou originally wanted to coax her softly, but she was so angry that she couldn't speak, and stretched out her hand to point at her.

Mama Chen hurriedly said, "How can Madame not hurt the girl?"

For the sake of the girl's reputation, the lady has already given the shop to the eldest girl. ”

"So what, isn't it because you can't afford to pay taxes?" Zhao Ruxiu roared and struggled: "Hypocrisy!" Let go of me, I don't want to go back to this home. ”

Under Zhao Yan's arrangement, she had already heard that the shop owed taxes.

Jiang Qingrou held back her anger, stepped forward to look at her lovingly, and reached out to caress her face: "Xiu'er, don't make trouble, how can my mother ......?"

"You're not my mother!" Zhao Ruxiu excitedly dodged her hand and struggled: "Let go of me!" Zhao Yan is not bad at all, you are the most poisonous woman's heart! ”

"Smack! Syllable! ”

Jiang Qingrou couldn't hold back any longer, and two slaps landed on her face.

How could she bear her own daughter, who was in pain with her own hands, scolded her with the words of the person she hated the most?

Zhao Ruxiu couldn't support it and fell to the ground, but she still glared at her stubbornly: "I just don't recognize you!" Poisonous woman! If you have the ability, you can kill me! ”
