Dressed as cannon fodder, fake daughter, she worked hard

Chapter 268 Security
Jiang Sheng thought for a while, but frowned suspiciously on his face: "I don't know, His Majesty asked my brother to come here, it seems to be entrusted with a heavy responsibility..."

Hearing the last four words, Mrs. Zhao's heart jumped twice.

Before I finished digesting it, I heard Jiang Sheng continue: "But my father asked me to persuade my brother, or stop him."

"Father said that even if my elder brother leaves the Jiang family, he used to be a member of the Jiang family. Don't embarrass our family by being an official who is greedy for money and harms the people. It will also make it difficult for Dad to do well in the capital."

She raised her head and met Mrs. Zhao's deep gaze.

Those cloudy eyes that had seen many storms and waves in the world looked at her motionlessly, as if all lies could not be hidden in such eyes.

The white air-conditioning on the ice basin placed on the side, it is clearly in summer, but there are bursts of coolness.

Mrs. Zhao's tone was unclear, and she didn't know if she heard it: "Is that so..."

Aunt Chang next to her was also staring deeply at Jiang Sheng, and from the corner of her eye, she could see that there was no trace of vitality in that nanny's rigid facial features.

Jiang Sheng wiped his eyes with the back of his hand to block the fleeting guilt, and his tone was still the same: "I went to find my brother as soon as I came to the city, but I had a big fight with him."

"Although my elder brother didn't like me very much before, he has never been so fierce to me."

She was puzzled, but also seemed sad: "Auntie, grandma, why..."

Her eyes are too clear, with black and white eyes, Mrs. Zhao has never seen such a pair of clear eyes in most of her life, which makes people trust unconsciously.

So, is it the young magistrate's obedience?

But after all, she is still a human being who has lived for decades, and Mrs. Zhao still has some doubts about Jiang Sheng's words.

"Maybe your brother has changed."

Mrs. Zhao held the lid of the cup and brushed off the light yellow foam on the teacup: "Then what are you arguing about?"

Jiang Sheng adjusted his breathing lightly, and his mouth shrunk: "He told me to leave his affairs alone."

Mrs. Zhao smiled, as if curious: "Then what do you say?"

"I don't care if I don't care, who cares!" Jiang Sheng turned his head and snorted proudly, "I would have come if Dad hadn't insisted on me coming!"

Mrs. Zhao took a sip of her tea.

Little girls are always emotional.

She continued to ask a few questions, and seeing that she really couldn't ask anything, she asked Jiang Sheng to go back: "You and your cousin can talk together, and we can have dinner together later."

"No." Jiang Sheng sniffed, "My sister is still waiting for me at home."

"I'll go back and say hello to Cousin Qiao Zhi, and then I'll leave. Thank you, aunt and grandma."

"Next time, if I have a chance, I will try the dishes from my aunt's house."

The left and right goals have been achieved, and Mrs. Zhao agreed when she saw that she was about to cry.

After thinking about it, she said with relief: "The elders will take care of your brother's affairs, so you can just play here with peace of mind."

"Tomorrow, I can go out with your cousin for a stroll, and the sisters will join in the fun."

Jiang Sheng laughed through his tears: "That's exactly what I planned."

After Jiang Sheng left, the room became quiet.

Mrs. Zhao fiddled with the teacup repeatedly, but she didn't take a sip of the tea in it until it was cold.

She suddenly looked in the direction where Jiang Sheng left, and the heavy door curtain remained motionless, hanging there quietly.

The old lady Zhao sighed: "Wu Niang, do you think... is the Jiang family's sister's words credible?"

Nanny Chang stood on one side with her hands down: "The old slave looks at the appearance of the cousin girl, it doesn't seem like she is telling a lie."

"But the cousin girl has been pampered and spoiled since she was a child, and she may not be able to tell if some things are hidden from her."

The old lady Zhao smiled meaningfully, half-sighed and half-doting: "If you keep it from her, you won't be quarreling again. Look, it will make the little girl sad."

"But you're right, we'd better be careful."

Mrs. Zhao's eyes were heavy.

During this period of time, the officials in Linyi changed again and again, so she had to be vigilant.

Even if the Zhao family in Linyi cannot be preserved, at least she must protect the other members of the Zhao family.

More importantly... is to protect the children of her Zhao family.

……

But it said that Jiang Sheng returned to Qiao Zhi's courtyard, and after the girl led her in behind the curtain, he looked around.

There is only Qiao Zhi in the room.

Zhao Qingzhuo did not return again.

Seeing Jiang Sheng, Qiao Zhi hurriedly lowered his voice and asked, "What did your aunt ask you to do?"

Jiang Sheng didn't want to say more: "It's just a few words of greeting."

Qiao Zhi didn't ask any more questions: "It's fine as long as it's okay."

Thinking of Zhao Qingzhuo, Jiang Sheng cut to the chase: "What's going on with this cousin from the Zhao family?"

Qiao Zhi muffled: "You can see it."

"My mother doesn't know what agreement she made with the Zhao family, and I'm too lazy to think about it."

Anyway, her mother was not very satisfied with the decision not to marry at that time, or the matter about Pei Luoshu.

But no one can force her to do what she doesn't like.

Jiang Sheng expressed his thoughts: "Didn't you say that you are going to burn incense, and you don't want to pick a date, let's do it tomorrow."

"When you go out tomorrow, I will send a letter to the Zhao family, asking you to stay with me for a few days."

When Qiao Zhi left the door, she was free to go wherever she wanted.

Presumably the Zhao family would not refuse.

Qiao Zhi's eyes lit up, and he nodded vigorously in agreement.

After making an appointment with Qiao Zhi, Jiang Sheng left Zhao's house, and it was almost time for dinner.

Jiang Sheng deliberately went around Fumantang, but didn't find his sister, so he returned home.

The cook had already cooked the food, and seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, Jiang Sheng didn't wait for Jiang Xian, and prepared to wash up after hastily filling his stomach.

She fetched warm water and put it on the washbasin stand, first tore off her hair, tied all of it behind her shoulders with silk ropes, and tested the temperature of the water before closing her eyes and gently holding the water onto her face.

The sight was plunged into darkness and the hearing became more sensitive. Apart from the sound of water, Jiang Sheng seemed to hear a slight sound at the window hinge.

The scenes of the horror movies she had seen before played back frame by frame in her mind. Jiang Sheng hurriedly opened her eyes, but her vision was blocked by water droplets, and she could only vaguely see the bed, table, window... and the upward candle flame.

She picked up the facekerchief and wiped off the moisture from her eyelashes. After her vision returned, she clearly saw a blurry figure on the window!

Jiang Sheng's pupils shrank slightly, and he walked lightly to the table to pick up the pointed silver hairpin that he had just removed from his hair, and touched the needle that was specially made for self-defense a few months ago, and he couldn't help but say it to the window.

The silver needle flew out of the pasted window paper without a sound, but the figure seemed to feel it easily, and dodged lightly.

Seeing that he had startled the snake, Jiang Sheng tightened his grip on the silver hairpin, and made up his mind to run outside. The next second, the window was opened from the outside.

Even if the familiar figure melted into the night, she could clearly recognize it.

Jiang Sheng: ...

She didn't know if she should say something that was not very good.
