Jiang Miao was silent for a moment when she heard the purpose of Chen's mother and daughter's visit.
"The sea is dangerous, and you don't know when your life will be gone. You are a little girl, so you should think carefully."
They were going to go for at least half a year. Not to mention the dangers at sea, even the simplest case of seasickness was enough for Jiang Xuan to endure.
However, Jiang Miao's dissuasion did not make Jiang Xuan retreat. Jiang Miao was on the ship. She believed that the Shen family's guards would protect her. Besides, it might be more dangerous for her to stay in the Jiang family.
She clenched her fists and looked at Jiang Miao firmly.
"Princess, I have already thought about it. I must go to sea with you!"
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Jiang Miao did not try to persuade her again.
The sea-going boat presented by the Chen family is indeed a treasure. It took hundreds of craftsmen of the Chen family ten years to build it. It looks simple and solid on the outside, but it is a whole other world on the inside.
Even Jiang Miao was shocked.
Mrs. Chen gave her such a treasure, and Jiang Miao could guess her needs.
What Mrs. Chen loves most is her two daughters. Jiang Chuan can no longer rely on her. For the sake of her daughter's future, she must find a strong support for her two daughters.
And for this support, no one is more suitable than Jiang Miao.
"I will take good care of her. As long as I can come back alive, Jiang Xuan will be fine."
If something really happened to her, Shen Yanqing would also take care of the Chen mother and daughter. After all, Shen Yanqing would never let Jiang Chuan go.
"Thank you very much, Princess."
With Jiang Miao's guarantee, Chen's mind was set.
…
The date for Jiang Miao's departure to sea was decided. Originally, she would set out in September because she was going to make a boat.
But now that they have strong ships, their departure date has been moved forward.
The day to go to sea was scheduled for July 29th, which was an auspicious day that Mrs. Zhang asked someone to calculate.
The Shen family was reluctant to leave suddenly for more than a month early.
The two children cried a lot, but in order not to worry their mother, they even cried secretly.
Jiang Miao also couldn't bear to leave her children. These days, she was preparing her luggage while taking time to spend time with them. In addition, she also had to spend time with Shen Yanqing.
In this way, in the sadness of parting, the day of going to sea is getting closer and closer.
Jiang Chuan was transferred away from Qiongzhou City, and before leaving, he wanted to take Jiang Wen with him.
These days, he has been busy with decentralization matters, and Shen Yanqing has noticed him, so Jiang Chuan did not dare to be too presumptuous, so he let Jiang Wen rest for a while and did not invite any more guests into the house.
Aunt Fang still lives in Xikuoyuan. She listens to the happy sounds next door every day, and her spirit becomes weak.
The mother-in-law invited a Buddha statue for her. Aunt Fang ate fasting and prayed to Buddha for peace of mind, but she did not think of asking Jiang Chuan to save her daughter. Naturally, she did not know that Jiang Wen was no longer in the house.
The day before Jiang Chuan was sent to the countryside, he asked his men to pack Jiang Wen's luggage and take her to the town below. Little did he expect that when his men came back, he would tell him that Jiang Wen had run away.
"Run away? How is this possible!"
Let’s not talk about how Jiang Wen, a weak little lady, could escape. The guards in the Xikua Courtyard, who were both big and thick, could not even look after a little lady well.
Jiang Chuan was immediately furious. He was sent to a township. It was the time when he needed to attract talents. Jiang Wen, his abandoned daughter, was the best bait. How could Jiang Chuan let her run away.
"Do you know how she escaped?"
Without support, Jiang Wen would never have been able to escape from the yard, but all the maids and women around her had been dismissed, and there would be no one to help her unless it was Aunt Fang.
"Bring Fang Yun here!"
Jiang Chuan's eyes flashed sharply, and his tone contained murderous intent.
When the men brought Aunt Fang over, she was already frightened.
Aunt Fang has been eating fast and chanting Buddha's name these days, and her body is smelling like incense. The smell that was supposed to make people feel calm, but now it's just inconsistent.
Jiang Chuan sat facing the light. Aunt Fang couldn't see his expression clearly, but the chill around him still made her shiver.
"Master, you are looking for me..."
"Where's Jiang Wen, where did you hide her?"
Jiang Chuan had concluded that Aunt Fang had let Jiang Wen go, and directly placed the charge on her.
Aunt Fang said bitterly, "Master, I am unjustly accused. I have never left the house these days, and I have never seen Wen'er at all."
Aunt Fang knelt down and hugged Jiang Chuan's thigh, resenting why Jiang Wen would hurt her.
It’s just that this daughter did not bring her glory, but it also made her lose the love of men. Aunt Fang is worthy of being Jiang Chuan’s pillow. Each of them is more selfish than the other. They only have themselves in their hearts. For their own interests, even if they are flesh and blood.
Family affection can also be used cleanly.
"It's really not you?"
Jiang Chuan still knew his aunt, and she did not dare to lie to him.
Sure enough, after he asked, Aunt Fang began to shake her head wildly, trying her best to clear away her suspicions.
"Master, I'm really not a concubine. Could it be that she bribed the guard and escaped, or is it Madam? Madam let her go..."
Aunt Fang wanted to drag others into the trap, completely ignoring that the person running away was her biological daughter.
In the face of absolute interests, what does a daughter mean? Especially a daughter who is of no use to her and will only make her lose face.
"Okay, I will ask someone to look for her. You can go out. If there is any news about Jiang Wen, report it to me immediately. If I find out that you dare to hide it, you will pick up Jiang Wen's guests!"
He has already reaped the benefits of it. It is just a concubine. As long as he wants to, he will have countless concubines. If it can bring him benefits, he does not mind treating these concubines as forbidden descendants.
Even if it's Chen, he won't be reluctant if it can be used by him.
Aunt Fang looked at the man in front of her. He had the light behind him and the smile at the corner of his mouth was like a demon seeking life, which made people feel frightened.
She must not fall into Jiang Wen's situation. Aunt Fang was originally a prostitute. If she could climb this far, she would never think about going back, so she could only sacrifice Jiang Wen.
At this time, Jiang Wen, whom they were thinking about, had already left Qiongzhou City.
The man she asked for help that day was a wealthy gentry from Li County, the county seat below Jiang Chuan.
Zhang Bo was over forty years old and had a wife and four concubines at home, as well as numerous beauties outside. He liked charming and tender young ladies, so Jiang Chuan wanted to win him over and gain a foothold in Li County, so naturally he fell in love with her.
Although it is not respectable for Jiang Wen to be a domestic prostitute, it is taboo and exciting for these people, so many people want to kiss her.
This is also the reason why Jiang Chuan attracted so many customers in a short period of time, and he also accumulated a lot of gold, silver and connections.
Because of Jiang Wen, Jiang Chuan seemed to have opened the door to a new world. If Chen's mother-in-law hadn't been so powerful, he might have tried to target Jiang Xuan.
Jiang Wen was rescued by Zhang Bo and followed him out of Qiongzhou overnight.
She knew that Jiang Chuan was going to be sent to Li County, and she managed to escape. Naturally, she didn't want to fall into his hands again. Jiang Wen planned to part ways with Zhang Bo, but the man was unwilling.
