Chapter 393 One life, one pair
When Li Qiuhe heard that Li Juan'er was beaten to death by Jiang Huaian, he couldn't sleep all night. Overnight, he aged many years and many white hairs appeared on his head.
The next morning, she pulled Jiang Che and said, "Che'er, you must find a way to escape. Li Juan'er is dead, and it will be your turn next."
Jiang Che listened to her words and thought his mother was talking nonsense: "Mom, no, I am the only son of Dad now, he won't treat us like that."
Li Qiuhe shook his head and said in horror: "Yes, it really will..."
......
These past few days, Xie Jiaojiao had a very comfortable life. She either ate or slept all day long. When she woke up, she would play with the parrot that Jiang Weinan bought for her.
That day, Steward Wang came over anxiously and handed a letter to Jiang Weinan with both hands: "Master, this is a letter from the capital."
Jiang Weinan took it, and Manager Wang turned around and went to do other things.
After opening it, he immediately became happy and handed the letter to Xie Jiaojiao.
After reading ten lines at a glance, Xie Jiaojiao raised her eyes and smiled: "My elder sister gave birth."
"It's a son!"
Xie Jiaojiao said disdainfully: "Son or daughter, so what? Aren't they all the same?"
Jiang Weinan shook his head: "With the status and position that Big Sister has now, it must be a son!"
Xie Jiaojiao frowned.
"This is not about favoring boys over girls. Think about it, it's not easy for elder sister to give birth to a child at this age. And the man she married is different from others. He is the prince, second only to the emperor. When the eldest prince married elder sister, although he did not have a wife, he did have concubines at home. In such a harem, there are very few people who can successfully give birth to children. Only by giving birth to a son can one consolidate his position in the family."
Although Xie Jiaojiao has not experienced what Jiang Weinan said herself, she has seen a lot of it on TV before.
For a wealthy and powerful family, whether in modern times or in ancient times, being together as a couple for a lifetime is always a dream!
Moreover, in ancient times, there was a distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children, and everyone was more obedient to status.
Jiang Weinan saw that Xie Jiaojiao's expression had eased a little, so he took her hand and assured her, "Don't worry, you are the only one in my life."
Xie Jiaojiao's expression improved a little, but she still said: "Some things I have said before, if, I say if, you have other ideas in the future, you can tell me directly, don't hide it from me, I will divorce you, but if you hide it from me and deceive me, then I will definitely not let you go."
Jiang Weinan's expression changed instantly: "I am sincere to you. We have been married for two years and you still don't believe it?"
"Or is it because I haven't done well enough? So you still don't believe me?"
Xie Jiaojiao shook her head: "I just listened to what you said just now, and I was inspired."
"Puh, puh, puh! What did I tell you? Blame my stinky mouth."
After saying that, he slapped himself a few times.
Xie Jiaojiao hurriedly stopped him and scolded: "What are you doing?"
Seeing that he didn't hit her again, Xie Jiaojiao sighed and said, "From ancient times to now, which woman in the world doesn't want to be with one man for the rest of her life? But except for peasant men who can't afford to marry more, which man with a little ability doesn't have women on his left and right?"
Jiang Weinan hugged her from behind and buried his face in her neck: "I just want to be with you for the rest of my life. I, Jiang Weinan, will only be with you, Xie Jiaojiao, in this life."
Who doesn't like to hear sweet talk? Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Okay, let go. It's too hot."
The two were still being affectionate when Lai Fu came running over.
Xie Jiaojiao quickly pushed Jiang Weinan away, and because she used a little force, she almost pushed Jiang Weinan away.
Ah! This...
Xie Jiaojiao looked at him apologetically, and Jiang Weinan grimaced in pain.
"Xie Jiaojiao, you murdered your husband!"
He quickly pulled the man up, and Xie Jiaojiao stared at him apologetically.
Lai Fu wanted to laugh, but tried his best to control his expression.
Hand over a letter.
"Master, this was just sent by Master Li."
Jiang Weinan snorted softly, rubbing his butt with one hand, took the letter with the other hand and read it, then turned to Xie Jiaojiao and said seriously: "Brother Qin is ready to take action. Let's try not to go out these days, in case some fish slip through the net and run to Jiangbo City to fight to the death."
After listening to this, Xie Jiaojiao nodded seriously and told Lai Fu: "Go to our restaurant and inn and inform them. If you find anyone suspicious, notify the government first."
Lai Fu nodded, turned around and went to notify them immediately.
Xie Jiaojiao called Chunxiang again: "Today, ask the kitchen to prepare more food for the next few days. If there is nothing else important these days, try not to go out."
"Yes."
Jiang Weinan looked at Xie Jiaojiao and said, "Don't worry. We have severed our relationship with Jiang Huaian. Even if his crime is exposed, it shouldn't involve us."
"I'm not worried that this matter will involve us. I'm just worried that this bandit is related to Jiang Huaian. Although we have severed our relationship, the bandits don't know about it. It will be bad if they come to our door later."
At this point, Xie Jiaojiao thought of the wall in the backyard, which could be easily climbed over from the outside. She hurriedly called for help and spent the whole afternoon smashing all the unused jars and bowls in the house and stuck them all on the wall.
It’s not Xie Jiaojiao’s fault for worrying too much, but she was prepared for the worst.
After directing everyone to do all this, she was exhausted.
Jiang Weinan rubbed her belly and said, "Are you tired?"
Xie Jiaojiao nodded.
In the middle of the night, the sound of dogs barking outside the city could be heard one after another.
Xie Jiaojiao woke up to go to the bathroom and saw Jiang Weinan still awake with one eye open.
"Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Jiang Weinan turned over and sat up.
He frowned and said, "I can't sleep. I don't know what's going on with Brother Qin."
Xie Jiaojiao sat in his arms: "It's useless for you to worry so much. Anyway, we will know about this matter tomorrow."
Jiang Weinan sighed.
In fact, many families in the city did not sleep that night. One reason was that the barking of dogs outside the city was too loud. The other was that Qin Fang informed everyone in the city in the evening that there would be a suppression of bandits tonight, so everyone was asked to be vigilant to prevent any bandits from escaping into the city.
Everyone was shocked and happy at the same time, and thought that the county magistrate was just joking!
I never thought I would really have to suppress bandits!
Qin Fang also arranged people to keep a close eye on the Jiang family. By the time Jiang Huaian reacted, it was too late.
The government officials came to the house and controlled all the people in the Jiang family. Jiang Huaian then realized that he had been exposed long ago...
