It seems like an ordinary question, but in fact, if you take a closer look, Jiang Zuiyao is mentioning something about Shaojiang.

Shaojiang's face immediately darkened. Shao Wanyun had disappeared for many days. Shaojiang must have been searching for him for a long time. Although he had not found her after so many days, there were still clues to follow.

Jiang Zuiyao looked at Shaojiang who was deep in thought and didn't say anything, so she knew that he didn't want to say more. Jiang Zuiyao was not curious. After all, Shaojiang might not know more than she did. Jiang Zuiyao said: "Father, if you want to rescue Wanyun right now, you need to use

Money is exchanged for people, this is the only way."

Jiang Zuiyao knew that under the urgent situation, five hundred thousand taels was very difficult, but she still had no choice but to say it.

Shaojiang finally calmed down, stood up slowly despite the tremendous pressure, opened the door and left without saying a word.

Jiang Zuiyao stood there. She didn't know what Shao Jiang was going to do, but she knew that he would do his best to save Shao Wanyun.

When Jiang Zuiyao stepped out of the front hall, she saw Zhan Feng standing in the courtyard. The winter night was very cold, and he had been standing outside without leaving even half a step.

Jiang Zuiyao ignored him, stepped over the threshold and headed towards the east courtyard, with Zhan Feng following behind him silently.

When they arrived in front of the door of the east courtyard, they saw a figure far away. Linghui was wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket, standing under the lamp and watching from a distance.

Linghui saw two figures, a man and a woman, approaching in the distance. She found that the woman's figure looked very much like Jiang Zuiyao, but she couldn't see her face clearly at night and didn't dare to recognize them.

Until Jiang Zuiyao came a little closer, Linghui saw clearly under the weak light, and immediately shouted with a smile: "Young Madam! Young Madam!"

As soon as the sound fell, Linghui couldn't wait and ran to Jiang Zuiyao. She watched intently and shouted excitedly: "Li Yan said that the young lady has returned to the house, but I still don't believe it. I didn't expect that you are really back!"

Jiang Zuiyao was also happy to see Linghui. She temporarily put aside all her worries and showed a sincere smile that she had not seen for a long time.

"It's a cold winter night, Madam, please go in quickly." Linghui said considerately.

After entering the courtyard, Linghui couldn't help shouting excitedly again: "Xijun, the young lady is back! She is really back!"

The night was already silent, and Linghui's shout was particularly clear and harsh. With just this voice, she saw the door of the side hall being opened. Xijun looked out in disbelief. When she saw Jiang Zuiyao, her whole body was filled with the same emotion.

I was ecstatic, perhaps because of my age. I was extremely happy, but I could still keep my composure.

Xiyun hurriedly came out to greet her, and said with joy on her face: "Madam, you are back."

The master and servant entered the side hall with smiles on their faces. This time Jiang Zuiyao asked Zhan Feng to wait in the outer room of the side hall. After all, it was really cold outside.

Entering the inner room, it was extremely warm. As soon as Jiang Zuiyao entered the room, she saw Chu Yi sitting on the bed, holding a rattle in her hand.

The moment she saw Chu Yi, Jiang Zuiyao's heart really surged. She walked to the couch in three steps and looked at the daughter she was most concerned about, whom she had not seen for a long time.

Everyone thought that Jiang Zuiyao would hug Chu Yi excitedly, which was strange. However, she just stood quietly by the couch, looking at Chu Yi with mixed emotions, doing nothing and saying nothing.

It stayed like this for a while, and then Xiyun stepped forward and said, "Master, won't you give me a hug?"

Of course Jiang Zuiyao thought about it, but she tightened her fingertips and said, "My hands are too cold, so don't irritate the child."

After hearing this, Linghui quickly brought a hand warmer, added some charcoal and handed it over: "Young lady, please warm your hands."

Jiang Zuiyao took the hand warmer and landed on the edge of the couch. Her eyes were full of Chu Yi. Looking at her now grown-up daughter, she was both happy and disappointed.

I am happy that my daughter can grow up safely, but I am disappointed that as a mother, I cannot be by my side.

"Chu Yi." Jiang Zuiyao called softly, wanting to have some intimate contact with her daughter.

Chu Yi held the rattle in her hand and looked at Jiang Zuiyao with strange eyes. For this child who could not speak yet, Jiang Zuiyao was someone she did not remember.

Jiang Zuiyao's hands became warm, and she raised her hands to hold Chu Yi in her arms. Looking at the wall, Chu Yi sank a lot.

Carefully put Chu Yi on her lap and looked at her carefully. Her eyes were bright and lively, her eyebrows looked a bit like Shao Ziqing's, her delicate face was attractive, and she tentatively wanted to touch her cheek, but Chu Yi

But he subconsciously hid behind him.

This is a defense against strangers.

Immediately afterwards, Chu Yi opened her arms and muttered towards Xijun: "Hug...hug..."

Chu Yi stepped forward and replied with a smile: "Miss, this is your mother."

"Hug...hug...", but Chu Yi refused. Maybe she didn't understand, but she could see that she was a little repulsed by being in Jiang Zuiyao's arms. She even threw the rattle on the ground unhappily, with a look on her face.

anxious.

Seeing this, Xijun quickly hugged Chu Yi into her arms. Chu Yi held onto Chu Yi's skirt tightly and looked at Jiang Zuiyao with wary eyes.

At this moment, Jiang Zuiyao felt extremely uncomfortable.

That was her biological daughter, but she treated her as a stranger.

Xiyun quickly comforted her: "Master, don't worry too much, the young lady is still young and doesn't understand anything."

Even so, such words could not calm Jiang Zuiyao's heart, but she still pretended to smile and said: "Chu Yi can speak now?"

Xiyun smiled and nodded: "Right now it's just coming out word by word."

Jiang Zuiyao looked at Chu Yi in Xijun's arms, the smile on her lips was very stiff. As a mother, she felt guilty after all.

At this time, Linghui on the side asked: "Young Madam won't leave when you come back this time, right?"

Such questions broke the atmosphere. Jiang Zuiyao's face darkened, her smile immediately disappeared, and she replied: "I can only stay for three days at most."

Such an answer also made Linghui and Xiyun feel instantly disappointed.

Xijun put Chu Yi into the cradle, then walked to Jiang Zuiyao and said, "Master, you have been gone for so long, do you still want to go?"

Of course Jiang Zuiyao wanted to stay, but she couldn't yet. She replied helplessly: "There are too many things that we can't control, and it's not the right time yet."

Xijun frowned sadly: "Since the last time the young lady was kidnapped, I have been feeling uneasy. Although the young lady was returned safely, I know that the lady must be living in exile."

Jiang Zuiyao suppressed all the suffering in her heart, and she didn't mention it a word.

Xiyun continued: "Master, you have been gone for so long, and I have been looking forward to your return."

Come back? Why doesn't Jiang Zuiyao not want to? But...

Jiang Zuiyao couldn't help but feel tense, and the pain poured out like a stormy sea. She felt a little unbearable, but she still didn't say a word.

Linghui walked out secretly, not knowing where she went.

The sound of the door closing inevitably made Xiyun look back. When she saw Zhan Feng in the outer room, a man with a sword in his belt who was not easy to mess with, her face darkened.
