meet again

Chapter 497
Jiang waited bitterly in the Qiu family's inner house, and the wait lasted for half a month.

The waiting time was extremely long and excruciating.

Thinking about it day and night, having trouble sleeping and eating, Jiang, who was originally haggard, became thinner and thinner, and the clothes on his body were empty.A pair of eyes, appearing extraordinarily large.When looking at people, there is no focus and no anger.

Mrs. Mu visits Mrs. Jiang every few days.After seeing it this time, I was really a little frightened, went to Mrs. Qiu's yard, and said in a low voice: "...I can't eat a few mouthfuls of each meal, and I don't sleep all night, and my iron body can't bear it. Granddaughter-in-law went to see her today, tried every means to comfort her, but she didn't say anything. If this goes on, granddaughter-in-law may not last long."

Mrs. Qiu also frowned.

She hated Jiang shi so much, she wished Jiang shi would die.

But the Jiang family couldn't die.

The queen empress in the palace would send someone to come and see her every few months.Jiang's "recovery" is justifiable, so how could Empress Yuan not ask the truth and vent her anger on the Qiu family if she died in the inner house like this?

Furthermore, Shen You had to be scrupled.It is one thing for Shen You to hate his own mother, if the Jiang family dies in the Qiu family for no reason, Shen You, a son, cannot ignore it.Then it will be another trouble.

Therefore, the Qiu family pinched their noses up and down, and had to support Jiang's well.Jiang has been under house arrest in the inner house, and has never been short of food and clothing.

It's best to live in peace like this.Now that the Jiang family is going to be unable to hold on anymore, what should they do?

Mrs. Qiu pondered for a long time, and then said intermittently tremblingly: "Have someone send a letter to Beicheng Bingma Division, and ask Mingcheng to come back."

Mrs. Mu hastily agreed.

Mrs. Qiu added another sentence: "Let Jie'er come back too."

Qiu Jie was brought into the barracks by Qiu Mingcheng, and he came back very few times in the past few years.One is to let Qiu Jie practice well in the barracks, and the other is to separate Qiu Jie and Jiang.In order to avoid Jiang's relying on his son to stir up trouble and instigate discord between father and son.

With Jiang's current appearance, he might last a few more days.No matter what, Qiu Mingcheng and his son had to come back and have a look.

Mrs. Mu hesitated for a while, and said in a low voice: "My daughter-in-law, let someone send another letter to Shen You and Feng Shaojun!"

Mrs. Qiu nodded slowly.

That night, Qiu Mingcheng brought Qiu Jie back.

For more than a year, most of Qiu Mingcheng lived in Bingma Division and rarely came back.He was originally ten years older than Jiang's, but now his face is wrinkled and his head has white hair, making him look quite old at first glance.

Qiu Jie also lived in the camp of Bingmasi, and the last time he came back was half a year ago.I haven't seen him in half a year, but Qiu Jie has grown a lot taller, with a swarthy face, snub nose and small eyes, his appearance is exactly the same as Qiu Mingcheng's.On his face, he couldn't find the high spirits that a 15-year-old boy should have, but he was a little numb.

When Mrs. Qiu saw her grandson being tossed like this by the barracks, she burst into tears. She took Qiu Jie's hand and cried, "Jie'er, it's rare for you to come back, why don't you say a word."

A hint of impatience flashed in Qiu Jie's eyes, and his voice was flat and flat: "Grandma, don't worry about me, I'm fine staying in the barracks."

Three years ago, he was taken to the barracks by Qiu Mingcheng.A 12-year-old pampered son suddenly entered a barracks full of rough men. He was not used to eating and living. He practiced martial arts every day at five o'clock, which was extremely hard.He didn't know how many times he cried, but unfortunately, no matter how many times he cried, no one around him felt sorry for him, which instead attracted more ridicule and bullying.

Qiu Mingcheng came to visit him occasionally, and he cried and begged, "Father, it's too hard in the military camp. I can't stand it. I want to go back. I miss my grandmother, I miss my mother."

Qiu Mingcheng hardened his heart: "I entered the military camp when I was 11 years old. If I can't bear this kind of hardship, I am not worthy of being my son of Qiu Mingcheng. You can stay in the military camp at ease and never want to go back."

Qiu Jie was forced to adapt to the boring and hard life in the military camp, and was forced to get used to eating, living and sleeping with a group of rough men.It's not like he hated his own father and grandmother, but after being away for a long time, it's inevitable that they will become estranged.

Mrs. Qiu felt more and more uncomfortable seeing her precious grandson become like this.However, now is not the time to cry.Old Mrs. Qiu wiped her tears and said in a low voice, "Go and see Niang!"

Qiu Jie's heart tightened, and he blurted out: "What's wrong with my mother?"

Qiu Mingcheng's eyes were complicated, and he said in a deep voice: "Your mother broke her waist more than half a month ago and has been raising her on the couch. Since you are back, go and see her."

Qiu Jie was not a child, so he naturally understood the meaning of Qiu Mingcheng's words.This is because Jiang's family can't bear it any longer, so he asked his son to come back to comfort him.

There was a flash of water in Qiu Jie's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said: "She has a heart disease, let her come out, and it will be fine."

Qiu Mingcheng and Mrs. Qiu looked at each other, each remaining silent.

Qiu Jie's heart sank, but he didn't plead any more, and quickly walked to Jiang's courtyard.

Qiu Mingcheng also went there, he didn't enter Jiang's house, he just stood outside the door.Soon, a familiar cry came from the door.

Qiu Jie's sobbing voice also came to his ears: "Mother, why are you so thin? If you continue like this, what's the matter? You have to take good care of me and watch me marry a wife and have children."

Jiang didn't say anything, just kept crying.

Qiu Mingcheng stood outside the door like a statue, not moving.

No one knew the heaviness and fear in Jiang's heart.After the initial shock and anticipation, time passed day by day, and when Jiang thought of the note he wrote, he trembled with fear.

With Emperor Qing'an's temper, if he knew that she dared to write such a note, he would kill her alive.

With such a heavy and terrible secret in her heart, it was as if her whole body was being scorched by flames, and her heart was like frying oil. How could she eat or sleep?

……

No matter what, Qiu Jie's return was always a comfort to the Jiang family.Jiang Shi could finally eat something.

Qiu Jie stayed in the mansion for two days. Seeing that Jiang's family had improved slightly, he returned to the barracks.

From the beginning to the end, Qiu Mingcheng never stepped into Jiang's house.

After Shen You heard the news that Jiang Shi was about to "die", he didn't say a word, obviously he didn't intend to visit Jiang Shi.On the other hand, Feng Shaojun took a private day off and went to Qiu's house.

These days, Feng Shaojun is always a little uneasy.

On the surface, the Qiu family is calm and there is no abnormality.But Jiang suddenly became "seriously ill", why?
Jiang's appearance is weak, but in fact his heart is tough. He is definitely not someone who will take the initiative to seek death.What the hell is going on?

No matter how closely the secret whistle is watching, it is inevitable that there will be times of negligence.She had to see Jiang for herself.

Mrs. Mu politely led Feng Shaojun into Mrs. Jiang's room: "You talk with mother-in-law, I'll go out first."
