Chapter 463(1/2)
"General, I will definitely go to Beixun."
Ning Xiu finally came, which was exciting and worrying. Because Su Yan has not found it yet!
"Where is he now?"
"Go to the palace to pay tribute to the emperor."
After hearing this, Xiao Jin pulled the corner of his mouth, but he didn't hide at all, and he was generous enough.
"Where is the third prince?"
"It seems that he was also uploaded to the palace by the emperor."
Xiao Jin was silent when he heard the words.
Ning Xiu's purpose here was very clear, not to pay tribute to the emperor, but to Su Yan.
But with Ning Xiu's nature, even if it was for Su Yan, he would not let them do whatever they wanted.
Ning Xiu is like that lion. It is his instinct to hurt people, and when he pinchs his neck, he will never obey. On the contrary, he will only become more fierce.
Therefore, you must not take him lightly just because he has grasped his weakness. Especially... Su Yan doesn't know where he has gone yet.
Thinking of Su Yan, Xiao Jin couldn't help but raise his hand to press his eyebrows. Everything would never go smoothly when he met Su Yan. Since Ji Jiawan, he was not good at doing it when he was a master. Now, as a general, he is still the same, and he is not at ease.
She is his disaster star.
"General, do you want to go to the palace?"
Xiao Jin shook his head, "Let's wait for the news!"
Zhou Guang listened to the words and stopped talking, and was in a heavy mood.
If the third prince cannot do what he wants this time, it will be rare for the general to be good. When Zhou Guang thought of this, he was so upset that he should not be soft-hearted before, and he should have stopped the young master no matter what.
"Mrs. Jiang, Miss Jiang..."
"Where are your generals?"
When Zhou Guang heard the sound from outside, he frowned. Since the young master disappeared, Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Xinlan have come over at any time. It seems that they are particularly concerned about the young master's safety. However, in Zhou Guang's opinion, they are worried about the young master, but they are even more worried that the young master will have any reason, so they will completely lose the support of the General's Mansion.
The Jiang family is already a poor family, and Jiang's father was already desperate. Apart from leaving two daughters for the Jiang family, he did not even leave anyone who inherited the incense. If the old man of the Jiang family had not gone to ask the master for help, the master would not have asked the general to marry the Jiang family's daughter no matter what.
However, let’s not talk about these old things for now. The key is that Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Xinlan come from time to time, which makes Zhou Guang feel bored.
Zhou Guang naturally knew what Mrs. Jiang’s plan and Jiang Xinlan thoughts. It was because the young master liked Jiang Xinlan very much, so even though he knew that the general had no meaning to Jiang Xinlan, Zhou Guang never said anything.
But now it seems that Zhou Guang can't help but feel that he has done more than one wrong thing.
Just as he was thinking, the guard door was pushed open and watched Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Xinlan walk in.
"Jin'er."
"General."
Mrs. Jiang is full of kindness, and Jiang Xinlan is full of rules.
Xiao Jin looked at them with a bland look.
"Jin'er, does Xian'er have a whereabouts?" Mrs. Jiang said worriedly.
"General, it's been so long since Xian'er was found. Why don't you ask the Third Highness to help me! With the Third Highness, you will definitely find Xian'er soon." Jiang Xinlan suggested.
After hearing this, Xiao Jin looked at her and said, "The whereabouts of Xian'er are already there."
"Really? Where is Xian'er?" Jiang Xinlan asked hurriedly, but the expression on her face seemed not all surprises, as if there were more surprises, and there were others.
Seeing this, Zhou Guang frowned and found the young master. What was she shocked? Could it be that in her heart, the young master has encountered an unexpected situation?
After this thought, Zhou Guang's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
Xiao Jin looked at Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Xinlan without any expression and said, "I don't know where Xian'er is! However, the kidnappers sent someone to send a letter. If Xian'er wants to come back, he must get 10,000 taels of silver, and ask Xian'er to indicate his relatives to send it." As he said that, Xiao Jin's eyes fell on Jiang Xinlan.
Jiang Xinlan's heart suddenly broke out and she suddenly had a bad premonition.
Mrs. Jiang's heart also thumped, her hands hanging down on her side tightened, but she said without saying a word on her face, "Why should someone close to you send it?"
"It's very simple. Only those close to you will only care about Xian'er. Even if you are concerned about Xian'er's safety, you will not act rashly when handing over the money. But..." Xiao Jin said, "Why is this what my mother-in-law is curious about at this time? Are you supposed to care about thinking about sending the money over quickly and changing Xian'er back quickly?"
Xiao Jin said, and Mrs. Jiang hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, I'm so anxious. Then, I don't know who Xian'er wants to go?"
"In Xian'er's heart, the one who is closest to him is his aunt." Xiao Jin looked at Jiang Xinlan and said, "So, whether Xian'er can come back safely this time depends on you, the third sister."
"Me, me?" Jiang Xinlan said, looking at Mrs. Jiang in a little panic and helpless manner.
What should I do about this? Before she could become Xiao Xian’s stepmother as she wished, did she sacrifice her life for him?
She can't do it, she can't do it.
Mrs. Jiang seemed to have not seen Jiang Xinlan's look of asking for help, and just said to Xiao Jin, "If you can bring Xian'er back safely, Jiang Xinlan will be obliged as an aunt."
After hearing what Mrs. Jiang said, Jiang Xinlan's face changed a little.
Does her mother want her to die?
That's the kidnapper! Isn't it equivalent to giving them a chance to rob money and sex?
While Jiang Xinlan was in a state of turmoil, she heard Mrs. Jiang say again, "But I'm afraid there is a fraud!"
"oh?"
"It's okay for Xinlan to send money, but what if the weak woman who is powerless is not only unable to rescue Xian'er, but also becomes a hostage? If Xian'er dares to ask for ten thousand taels of money by one, plus Xinlan, wouldn't she give them the opportunity to ask us for more money!?"
Mrs. Jiang looked at Xiao Jin and said solemnly, "So, this matter must be taken seriously and not act rashly!"
After hearing this, Xiao Jin looked at Mrs. Jiang, nodded, and said slowly, "What my mother-in-law said."
After hearing Xiao Jin say this, Mrs. Jiang felt relieved, and Jiang Xinlan's face also looked a little better.
"It seems that this matter needs to be discussed for a long time. Then, let's go back first. You are tired of worrying about Xian'er day and night these days. Go back and have some rest. Maybe Xian'er will come back when you wake up."
Mrs. Jiang heard Xiao Jin's words and felt a full of mockery in her ears. Jiang Xinlan had no time to take care of these things at this moment, and just wanted to leave quickly.
"Mom, let's go quickly and don't disturb the general's business."
"Okay." Mrs. Jiang said a few more concerns at Xiao Jin before leaving.
After leaving the general's mansion and sitting in the carriage where he went back, Jiang Xinlan breathed a sigh of relief, and Mrs. Jiang frowned without saying a word.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
"Lan'er, did you say what your brother-in-law said just now is true?"
"What does mom mean?"
"It means that it may not be so short at this moment, but everything was just what Xiao Jin said on purpose."
"Why did he say this on purpose?"
"Of course it is to test us and how sincere we have to Xian'er."
Mrs. Jiang said it thoroughly, and Jiang Xinlan immediately understood it when she heard it, and her face changed.
"Maybe, we should have agreed just now."
After hearing this, Jiang Xinlan continued, "What if Xiao Jin said is true? If you really agree, would I really want to give the kidnapper money alone?"
Mrs. Jiang was stunned for a moment when she heard the words.
After silence, he sighed deeply, yes! What if Xiao Jin is not a temptation? He can't let his daughter take risks for her guess.
Forget it, forgot! Even if Xiao Jin was unhappy, their Jiang family was still his Yue family.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Jiang felt relieved again.
At this time, after Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Xinlan left, Xiao Jin took out a piece of rice paper from the drawer and handed it to Zhou Guang, and said to him, "You send this person to Mrs. Jiang later. Tell them that if you don't want to be imprisoned or ruin Jiang Xinlan's reputation, it's best not to come to the General's Mansion in the future."
When Zhou Guang heard the words, his heart trembled and looked down at the rice paper in his hand, "General, is this..."
"You will know after reading it! Okay, go."
"yes."
Zhou Guang took the order to go out and look at the rice paper in his hand. When he opened it, he saw the contents on it and his eyes moved...
Nothing else is the evidence that Mrs. Jiang treats her servants badly and poisons the concubines of the Jiang family and the concubine daughter over the years, as well as the testimony that Jiang Xinlan treats her servants badly and beats her servants badly.
If these are reported to the government and the general pushes them, it will be easy for Mrs. Jiang to go to prison, and the same is true for Jiang Xinlan.
It seems that Jiang Xinlan and Mrs. Jiang's attitude just now annoyed the general.
Annoyed? That's not!
For Xiao Jin, this result was expected, and he did not feel annoyed or sad. For Mrs. Jiang, Xiao Xian was naturally not as important as Jiang Xinlan.
If he is asked to choose, he will also make the same choice. He will not let his children take risks for others' children.
Xiao Jin was not angry or frustrated because of their selfishness, but he didn't want to get close to them anymore. The Yue family was insignificant to him, and Xian'er didn't need to hesitate when he was in a crisis, and easily abandoned his grandmother and aunt.
"General, the third prince invites you to the Three Emperors' Mansion."
After Xiao Jin handled the housework, he heard the servant report and immediately went to the Three Emperors' Mansion.
Ning Hui and the third prince are in the palace today. Now the third prince is back home. I think something must have happened in the palace!
