According to Hong Xiu, she did plan the immortal dance together with the madam, but what happened after that had nothing to do with her.
Hong Xiu shed tears and said: "Master Huang treated me very well at first, but later he had a quarrel with his mother because of me. His mother is a powerful person, and the inner house is full of murderous tricks. I have been in the house for less than half a month.
, I was almost scorned by a servant. I knew that I was scornful, so I had no choice but to beat the drum and accuse Mr. Huang of being scornful of me."
She lowered her eyes, her expression showing genuine sadness: "I understand that I am responsible for everything, so I would rather be imprisoned here."
Jiang Xuelan grabbed her hand and said excitedly: "Don't say such discouraging words. Don't worry, I will definitely save you! This is my sister. She used to be a widower in Beizhen Fusi and has a relationship with Master Fu.
Excellent, I... we will definitely save you."
When she said "we", she paused briefly, as if she wanted to see Jiang Wu's reaction, but she stopped the car halfway.
Jiang Wu raised his eyebrows: "If what you say is true, I will naturally ask Mr. Fu to make the decision for you."
Hongxiu naturally had tears in her eyelashes and thanked her repeatedly.
Although Jiang Wu was the widower of Beizhen Fusi, she still had an extra layer of identity now. It was not good to stay in the prison for a long time, so she took Jiang Xuelan out not long after.
Jiang Xuelan seemed a little depressed along the way. Jiang Wu had no feelings for this cheap girl and was too lazy to pay attention to her little thoughts. Until when they reached a wonton shop, the other party suddenly tugged at the corner of her clothes.
Jiang Wu:?
Jiang Xuelan blushed, carefully and greedily staring at the bowls of steaming wontons on the table, and whispered: "Sister, can you lend me some silver?"
Jiang Wu pondered for a moment, "Are you hungry? If you are hungry, just go back and ask the kitchen to make some snacks for you."
It's not that she refuses to invite Jiang Xuelan to eat, but she is very defensive. What if she gets a bad stomach and Aunt Chen comes back and puts the pot on her head?
Jiang Xuelan nodded, took two steps forward, and her voice became more aggrieved: "It's not that I don't want to, it's just that my mother said that I was about to have haircuts and couldn't eat more. She was afraid that I would be greedy, so she took away all my money, so the yard
The small kitchen inside is also closed.”
Jiang Wu was a little surprised, "I remember you are only fourteen or fifteen?"
Jiang Xuelan nodded, feeling extremely aggrieved: "Mother said that we finally came back from Zhuangzi. We can't let my father hate me, so we must not do anything wrong. If I get fat, I won't be able to find a good family in the future."
What nonsense is this?
Jiang Wu sighed, took out his wallet and handed it to her: "You can order whatever you want to eat."
Only then did she observe that Jiang Xuelan was not very sophisticated in what she ate or dressed. She was wearing ordinary clothes and didn't wear any pretty jewelry on her head.
The wontons cooked by the old man at this roadside stall are no worse than those in restaurants. One bite fills his mouth with delicious food. Jiang Wu saw that Jiang Xuelan ate it very delicious. In addition, he had indeed been running for a day and was a little tired, so he ordered it too.
bowl.
The two of them finished eating wontons and returned to the house. When they were approaching the door of the house, Jiang Wu suddenly asked: "Did you know Hongxiu's identity before?"
Jiang Xuelan nodded: "I know, she once told me that she ended up in a brothel as a last resort because of her family's financial difficulties. In addition, she can only write, play, play and sing. After all, the last time we contacted was a year ago.
.”
Jiang Wu asked again: "Then why did you say he was in Dali Temple in the first place? You are not allowed to write letters in prison. Did someone tell you that Hongxiu was imprisoned in Dali Temple? Or did you guess it?"
Jiang Xuelan was na na for a while.
Although Jiang Wu was smiling, his eyes suddenly turned cold: "Or are you lying to me from the beginning?"
…
It was already night when Jiang Wu returned to Fuqu Pavilion, and the entire Jiang Mansion was shrouded in deep silence. The red gauze on the lantern hanging at the door was already a little old, and it looked like a layer of dust had accumulated.
Four maids were already waiting at the door. Seeing Jiang Wu enter the courtyard, several people came to take off her cloak. Ouhua asked with concern: "Where did the girl go today? Why did it take so long to come back?"
Exposed even more, Jiang Wu looked at the scattered lights in several courtyards and said perfunctorily: "I went out for a walk."
Naturally, the maids didn't ask any more questions. He Xiang said playfully, "I think the girl is preparing for the recognition banquet tomorrow."
Jiang Wu stepped into the house and paused, "What...?"
He Xiang blinked: "Have you forgotten, girl? Tomorrow is your recognition party. Aunt Chen came here earlier, but she didn't see you. She will probably come again later.
"
Jiang Wu raised his eyebrows: "She is organizing this recognition party?"
He Xiang paused, thinking that Jiang Wu didn't like Aunt Chen, so she hurriedly explained: "It was the master's order. Aunt Duan is not in good health, so Aunt Chen can only handle this matter. If the girl doesn't like it, don't meet her tomorrow."
That’s it.”
Jiang Wu shook his head: "No."
It was just a casual question.
When he was about to lie down on the bed, Jiang Wu suddenly grabbed Mo Hua again: "Do you know the guest list for tomorrow?"
Naturally, the housekeeper sent someone to Fuqu Pavilion for this list. But seeing that the eldest lady was not too keen on these things, Mo Hua did not read it to her according to the book. Now that he heard her talk about it, he subconsciously said that he would go to the warehouse to get the list.
.
Jiang Wu waved his hands hurriedly: "No, no, no, I just want to ask, will Master Fu, the Jinyi Guard, be here?"
Mo Hua frowned and thought for a while, then hesitantly said: "I have read the list, and it seems that Master Fu's name is not on it. Maybe it is to avoid suspicion..."
To avoid suspicion... Jiang Wu sighed in his heart.
When Jiang Xuelan asked about this today, she really didn't know. Now in the dead of night, she thought about Hong Xiu's case and Jiang Lu's one thousand taels of silver.
"Oh, by the way, what happened to the letter?"
Mo Hua said: "The girl is really good at predicting things. The servant just put the letter in the alley. Not long after, a young woman appeared in the alley and opened the letter and read it."
Jiang Wu raised her lips and smiled: "Does that girl have big eyes and an oval face? She looks very beautiful?"
Mo Hua was about to nod when he unexpectedly saw Jiang Wu again - the light was dim at this moment, her long hair was scattered, and the flickering candlelight reflected in her eyes as bright as a sea of stars. Mo Hua's heart skipped a beat, and he shuddered for some reason.
Keba: "I don't think I'm as good-looking as you, girl."
Jiang Wu:?
She paused: "Thank you for the compliment."
Mo Hua talked about tonight's experience: "Tonight, shortly after the slave put the letter over, he just hid aside and saw a girl in a green dress walking into the alley. She looked a little gloomy. Not long after, she
Then she saw the slave's letter, and the strange thing was that she opened the letter without hesitation, read it, and put it away after reading it."
