The hour of Yin has passed, and Shao Jiang is still no longer seen. Jiang Zuiyao is dozing off on the table, and only Zhan Feng sits on the side with his eyes, not knowing where he gets his energy or sleepiness.

Until a slight sound of footsteps outside, Zhan Feng, who had been in a keen eye for many years, subconsciously clasped the sword in his waist. As a gust of cold wind blew in, Shaojiang slowly pushed the door and entered.

The cold wind slapped the face and blew into the clothes along the neck. Jiang Zuiyao, who was half asleep and half awake, shivered. When she looked up and saw Shaojiang, she became energetic.

Shao Jiang walked in and faced the stranger Zhan Feng, he just took a look indifferently, found a chair and sat down.

Jiang Zuiyao slowly stood up and called out: "Father."

Shao Jiang tightened his cold hands and said, "Even if it's for Chu Yi, I shouldn't have waited until this time in your mother-in-law's room."

Jiang Zuiyao realized that it must be when Shaojiang entered the mansion. The servant said a few gossips. After all, it was Jiang who found Shaojiang back.

Jiang Zuiyao didn't answer this at all and asked directly: "Dad my father raised enough 500,000 taels?"

Shao Jiang frowned in embarrassment: "No, the money has been exchanged for silver notes, and now it will be 370,000 taels."

Then, Shao Jiang said helplessly: "Some people heard that it was something that was related to Ziqing, and they were eager to retreat and could not borrow money."

Shao Jiang knew very well that if he couldn't get enough money, Chu Yi would be worried about his life. Although he didn't say this, he was still feeling uneasy.

Jiang Zuiyao said, "I was in a hurry to call my father back, one because the three-day deadline did not wait for anyone, and the other was that I found a way."

This immediately gave Shao Jiang hope. He hurriedly looked up at Jiang Zuiyao and asked, "What's your solution?"

"The Empress Dowager is willing to help." The simple four words made Shao Jiang's heart completely fall, and he showed a rare smile: "If the Empress Dowager helps, it will not be a problem. Now it is only 130,000 taels away. Give me some more time and I can repay the money."

Jiang Zuiyao nodded: "That's why I asked my father to come back, after all, I'm going to leave tomorrow."

Shao Jiang showed a little relief on his face and exclaimed: "Okay, okay, okay! But... Zuiyao, there will be no problem with the Taixuan clan, right?"

Jiang Zuiyao replied: "Chu Yi is now with Shao Ziqing, so there should be no problem."

Shao Jiang immediately stood up anxiously and said anxiously: "Zuiyao, you must bring Chu Yi back safely! My Shao family only has this daughter, and she is now the prince's concubine, but nothing can happen!"

Jiang Zuiyao naturally understood Shao Jiang's eagerness to be a father and replied: "Don't worry, Father, although I can't escort Chu Yi back in person, I will do my best to protect her safety."

Shao Jiang was still worried, thought for a while, and said, "Why don't I send a few people to come with you and let them pick Chu Yi up."

Jiang Zuiyao turned his head and looked at Zhan Feng. Although he had no expression on his face, he had proved everything. Jiang Zuiyao had to turn around and persuade him: "If my father did this, it would cause the Taixuan clan to be too worried, which would backfire. The Taixuan clan just wanted some money. If he gave them money, they would naturally feel at ease. After all, Chu Yi was not a key figure."

Chu Yi was lost for a long time, whether he was alive or dead is unknown to Shaojiang. He was so worried that he said, "Zuiyao, you must ensure that Chu Yi is safe. If something happens to Chu Yi, I..."

"How are you?" A voice full of doubts and displeasure sounded, from Zhan Feng not far away.

Jiang Zuiyao looked at Zhan Feng in a little shock, but he didn't expect that he would interrupt, and Shao Jiang looked at him incredible.

Zhan Feng's cold eyes hit Shao Jiang, looking angry, but he didn't know where it came from.

Shao Jiang immediately became unhappy: "Who are you? I am talking to Zuiyao, what do you have to do with you?"

Zhan Feng did not retreat at all, but said with confidence: "You don't have to care who I am. Just as a bystander, you're just a little bit of arguing."

Shao Jiang didn't know where Zhan Feng said this for a moment, and looked at him with a puzzled look.

Then, Zhan Feng did not hide it and replied directly: "From the beginning to the end, Jiang Zuiyao ran for your daughter. It would be fine if you didn't say the word "Thank you", but you were still cold-eyed at her, as if everything was what her daughter-in-law should be divided!"

Shao Jiang couldn't help but think that Zhan Feng was meddling in other people's business, but he still said: "Zuiyao is my Shao family daughter-in-law, and my Shao family's legitimate daughter is also her sister. This is what she should do!"

Zhan Feng gave Shaojiang a disdainful look and said coldly: "Now you know she is your Shao family daughter-in-law? She hasn't been at home for several years. In another two or three months, the child will be two years old. Have you ever looked for it?"

A question immediately made Shaojiang not know how to say it.

Jiang Zuiyao, who was beside her, didn't expect that Zhan Feng would speak for her. She forgot to speak for a while and looked at Zhan Feng with her eyes in disbelief.

Zhan Feng then said coldly again: "Although it was my first time in the Shao family, I can see some of it in the past two days. Your Shao family did not treat Jiang Zuiyao as a daughter-in-law at all. You couldn't make up enough money, and she wanted to help you solve it. Not only were you unhappy, but you became even worse. So what if she couldn't bring her back to Shao Chuyi? It was not her who caught him. If you have such a temper, why didn't you dare to get angry with the Taixuan clan?"

This was the first time Jiang Zuiyao saw Zhan Feng treating someone like this. Shao Jiang didn't know who was standing in front of him, and immediately said angrily: "My Shao family matter has nothing to do with you!"

Yes, after all, Zhan Feng is just an outsider.

In order to avoid unnecessary disputes, Jiang Zuiyao stepped forward and said to Zhan Feng: "Forget it, you can say less."

Zhan Feng frowned: "I just can't stand it. It's okay if they don't appreciate it. They are so cold-hearted at you. What kind of in-laws? Haha, Shao Ziqing's in-laws treats you like this on weekdays?"

Jiang Zuiyao quickly gave Zhan Feng a wink, signaling him not to say anything else, turned to Shaojiang and said, "Father, give me the money, I'll go find the Queen Mother."

Shaojiang didn't say anything else, and took Jiang Zuiyao to get the money. It was not dawn and it was still so cold at night, but he never said a warm word.

Jiang Zuiyao left Shao Mansion and asked, "Are you going to enter the palace?"

Jiang Zuiyao looked at the dark sky and said, "Let's go to the palace, you have to wait until dawn."

Zhan Feng said again: "Tomorrow is the last day, you shouldn't go back to Shao Mansion, right?"

Jiang Zuiyao nodded: "I won't come back. Zhan Feng, tell me the truth. If he gave the head money, would he really let Chu Yi go?"

Zhan Feng also nodded: "It is useless for the head to take her life. It is also unfavorable for the head if she dies. The head will not cause trouble."

It seems that the head of the sect was really just using this to extort money, so Shao Ziqing was relieved.

After walking out a few steps, Zhan Feng suddenly asked, "When you come back, why don't you see your mother's family come?"

My mother's family? These three words are too strange to Jiang Zuiyao. She smiled coldly: "Since I got married, they have no care about me."

Zhan Feng sighed deeply: "It seems that you are a father who doesn't love your mother and you don't love him. Chu Yi has also married. The Shao family is so worried. Look at you again. After you have been away for so long, you suddenly come back. The Shao family will definitely tell your parents about this, but they don't see the people from your parents. Don't they worry about you?"

Jiang Zuiyao didn't reply. Some things shouldn't be thinking about, because it's useless to think about them.
