[This is just one update today, no more.]

The next day.

Alas~

There was a sigh from the carriage that was flying under the stars and the moon.

But the reason why Xing did what she did was that she was forced into a corner. If Jiao Shun went back on his words again and completely cut off her way of life, they would probably die together.

That’s all.

Just think of it as spending money to buy a lesson.

EMMM…

Now that you have spent money, you should learn from the lesson repeatedly in the future and review the lessons from time to time so as to keep this lesson in mind.

Speaking of the lesson learned last night, it was really...

Huh?

He didn’t drink alcohol either, so why did the footage cut off inexplicably when Mao wanted to recreate the scene?

And this is not the first time this symptom has appeared.

Forget it, let’s think about it carefully when we have more time.

The whole journey was silent.

On this day, Jiao Shun was in the Yamen again, arguing with the people from the Ordnance Department for a long time. During this period, he vaguely realized that the negotiators from the Ordnance Department were just stalling for time. The real effort was probably spent on persuading the higher-ups.

However, given that the frame-up case had just passed, several officials were very cautious about Jiao Shun's affairs. No matter how hard the Ordnance Department tried, it was destined to be in vain - if it weren't for this BUFF, Jiao Shun would also

I won’t be so hasty and picky anymore.

But that evening, Jiao Shun returned to Rongguo Mansion, and when he arrived at the back door, he was unexpectedly stopped by Xing's people.

Jiao Shun knew what she was worried about.

Therefore, after visiting the house, he promised Ms. Xing that he would definitely collect the money and send it to her before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

In fact, there is no need to scrape together, and the Jiao family has nothing to occupy money. In the past half year, relying on the lumber business and gray income from the government office, he has accumulated about seventeen thousand taels of floating wealth - not to mention this power.

The two words "wealth" are always connected together.

The reason why I deliberately delayed the time was that I didn't want Mr. Xing to take this matter too easy and develop more greed.

Ms. Xing was originally worried that he would pull out X Qingqing, so she finally breathed a sigh of relief after receiving this agreement.

Immediately, she wrapped herself around Jiao Shun like a pendant. She showed off her little lady attitude and pestered Jiao Shun like a baby. She revealed all the worries and worries in recent days, including the things between Jia She and Jia Zhen.

The truth came out.

Although Zhang Ailing's phrase "the road to the soul" in "Lust, Caution" is biased, it couldn't be more true when it comes to Xing.

She has never had great wisdom, but she recognized the hard truth that women need to rely on men. Previously, the only man was Jia She, so she submitted to Jia She in every possible way. Now that she has Jiao Shun, she actually uses the same trick.

On Jiao Shun.

In view of the matter between her and Jiao Shun, she did not dare to tell Jia She that the treatment enjoyed by this adulterer was slightly higher than that of her own husband.

After experiencing this, Jiao Shun actually regretted it.

Or maybe, marrying a wife like Mr. Xing is more suitable for you than marrying someone as smart and independent as Chai Dai?

Of course, this so-called possibility can only be considered true if the appearance and status are in equal proportion.

It was easy to break away from the reluctant Xing family.

Jiao Shun was about to go home when he was stopped by someone again at the two gates. This time it was also an acquaintance - Yu Chuan's sister Jin Chuan.

On behalf of Mrs. Wang, she invited Jiao Shun to come and speak.

this……

What happened to the eldest wife just yesterday, and today the second wife took the initiative to come to the door again. For a moment, Jiao Shun really thought wrong.

But even if you think about it, this is impossible.

Following Jin Chuan to the back house of the second room, he saw this girl hesitate to speak several times along the way. Jiao Shun originally wanted to ask her what she wanted to say, but he thought that since there was something unspeakable, it would undoubtedly be safer to go back and ask Yu Chuan to come forward and find out.

So I pretended not to know.

When he arrived at the second-bedroom courtyard, Jiao Shun followed the rules and asked Jia Zhengxing first.

According to Mrs. Wang, Jia Zheng temporarily moved to the study room outside because he wanted to concentrate on summarizing his experience in inspecting and promoting the New Deal.

However, considering that there were no lights in the west wing where Aunt Zhao was when she passed by just now, Mrs. Wang was a little unhappy when she said this. It is obvious that Jia Zheng has left the yellow-faced woman at home again to live a two-person world with his concubine.

Went.

Having come to this conclusion, Jiao Shun naturally changed the topic and asked Mrs. Wang what her instructions were when she came to him.

"this……"

Mrs. Wang stopped talking, and after thinking for a while, she sighed and said: "It's just for Baoyu. He has not thought about food and tea these past few days. He has lost weight before his eyes. I heard that he can't stop it at night."

Coughing."

As he spoke, he wiped the fine lines around his eyes with a handkerchief.

Tsk~

The old man really made it right!

Listening to these words, it was obvious that Mrs. Wang had seen her son being mentally ill for several days, and she felt soft-hearted and wanted to take Qingwen back.

It’s her who gives it away, and she’s the one who asks for it. It’s really not a hassle!

Jiao Shun cursed in his heart, but pretended to be surprised on his face: "Why, brother Bao is sick? I didn't know about it, because he didn't go to the Ministry of Works for a few days, so I thought it was Mr. Zheng's intention.

"

"He... alas!"

Mrs. Wang lamented again: "It's just because of Qingwen's incident. I thought that as long as I sent that girl away, he would gradually be forgotten. Who would have thought..."

As she said that, she raised her head and looked directly at Jiao Shun, and said apologetically: "It's not an option to keep going like this. Otherwise... Do you think you can kill that girl Qingwen again..."

Halfway through, Mrs. Wang hurriedly added: "Of course I can't leave your mother with no one to take care of her. I'm going to replace her with another girl. You can do whatever you like in this house!"

Before he finished speaking, Jin Chuan shrank his neck.

Jiao Shun couldn't help but suddenly realized that this girl had hesitated to speak all the way because she was afraid that he would pick her off.

"this……"

A bit of embarrassment appeared on Jiao Shun's face, he avoided Mrs. Wang's gaze and hesitated: "I was originally a maid in this house. I can't say whether she can be replaced or not, but... alas!"

Seeing that he was sighing like her, Mrs. Wang knew that there was something hidden, so she hurriedly asked: "Brother Shun, could it be that that naughty girl did something outrageous again?"

"I won't hide the truth from you."

Jiao Shun said with a face of shame: "I came home drunk on the night of the second day of the Lunar New Year. She was so angry at Brother Bao for being so ruthless that he climbed into my bed in the dark. Because she didn't distinguish it carefully, she just thought it was a fragrant bell or a jade bracelet that had been opened.

so……"

"Amitabha!"

Mrs. Wang interrupted Jiao Shun's words with a Buddha's name, and said with a blushing face: "Don't mention this matter again - such a wanton little hooves, let alone saying that they have lost their virginity to you, are still perfect, there is no way

Let her lead Baoyu astray!"

Haha~
