The concubine is also very good today

Chapter 57 The Cage
It was Xiao Cao's voice.

After Jing Yu was taken away by the officials, Xiao Cao was so worried that she kept wandering around the house. If Mrs. Jing found out and vomited blood, the family would be even more chaotic.

After the servants found out the news that Xu Ruyi had brought Jing Yu out of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Xiao Cao had been waiting at the door, and was relieved to see Jing Yu came back.

Xiao Cao rushed to the carriage and looked at Jing Yu who was helping Xu Ruyi get out of the carriage. She seemed to be in a hurry, and she asked eagerly: "Hey! I hope you will come back! I gave you everything just now!" I was terrified, Erlang, a child who does not know the heights of heaven and earth, insisted on going with the government, and if he really went to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he would have to lose his skin!"

Xiao Cao felt scared after thinking about it.

Xu Ruyi comforted her, "Don't worry mother-in-law, isn't my daughter-in-law bringing him back?"

Seeing the two of them chattering about their own affairs, Jing Yu didn't pick up the quibble, but silently took his 500 taels of silver.

At this time, Xiao Cao just asked, "Didn't your elder brother come back with you?"

When Jingxi was mentioned, Xu Ruyi showed embarrassment, and explained: "The daughter-in-law wanted to ask about the elder brother's situation, but Mrs. Li said that the elder brother's situation is different from Erlang, and at most, he can only take Erlang with him for the daughter-in-law's sake." came back."

When Xiao Cao heard this, she stopped asking.

"It's not easy to bring Erlang back. Regarding Dalang's matter, my mother-in-law has to find another way."

During the intervals between their conversations, Jing Yu kept sneaking glances at Xu Ruyi, and he always had a faint feeling that something was wrong.

After they finished chatting, Xu Ruyi signaled Jing Yu to go back to the mansion with her. Seeing her leaving for the princess mansion, Jing Yu followed her into the gate of the mansion.

After returning home, Xu Ruyi sat at the table and ordered Chaoming and Xingtao to prepare hot water. At this time, Jing Yu quietly put the 500 taels silver ticket under the pillow.

Seeing his delighted appearance, Xu Ruyi asked in puzzlement, "A bank note makes you so happy?"

Jing Yu said excitedly: "Of course! This is the source of my happiness today!"

Xu Ruyi is quite envious of this little guy, a delicious meal, an apology or a bank note can make him very happy.

At this time, Jing Yu looked at Xu Ruyi's thoughtful appearance, and suddenly remembered something, so he asked in confusion: "Princess, why do I feel that your state is not right today..."

"Oh? What's wrong?"

"Although this may not sound very pleasant to say, but..." Jing Yu couldn't hold back any longer, so he asked, "Aren't you on good terms with Lin Chengqing? Why aren't you sad at all when he died? "

Xu Ruyi felt that this little guy had a lot to do all day long, so he asked, "Could it be that you still want me to cry?"

"No, I just think that if you are sad, don't hold it in your heart, it's easy to get sick."

Xu Ruyi was startled, and didn't speak for a while.

She didn't speak, and neither did Jing Yu.

After a while, Xu Ruyi asked, "If Mr. Xiao Lang is worried, why not find me a handkerchief, and let me cry twice to express my sadness?"

Hearing that she wanted a handkerchief, Jing Yuzhen went over to find a handkerchief and brought it over. Xu Ruyi took the handkerchief, stared at it for a long time, and said with a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth: "The embroidery on this handkerchief is still there." It’s pretty good, can you bear to wipe your tears with it?”

Jing Yu: "..."

He knew that the brain circuit of this little aunt was different from that of ordinary people.

He just thought it was weird—was she not sad at all?

"The princess, don't you feel sad? After all, you have been in love for so many years..."

"Finally, I want to emphasize that I have no relationship with him."

Hearing this, Jing Yu hurriedly covered his mouth, admitting his mistake.

Xu Ruyi continued: "And you have to be clear that people who deal with the court will die at any time. If you say the wrong thing, you will die, if you offend someone, if you stand in the wrong team, you will die. If you see too many dead people, your heart will become numb."

Hearing these words, Jing Yu felt a little palpitated, and he added weakly: "Then after I become a son-in-law, is it easy to die too..."

Hearing this, Xu Ruyi replied firmly, "I will protect you."

Jing Yu: "..."

Why does this sound weird? !
"Princess, the hot water is ready."

At this time, Xingtao's words interrupted Jing Yu's thoughts.

Even though Xu Ruyi went to take a bath, leaving Jingyu alone looking at the handkerchief in his hand, he still felt a little strange.

Lin Chengqing, who had been with her day and night, died suddenly. She was neither frightened nor sad, and remained calm as if nothing had happened.

Is this the mentality that normal people should have?

On the contrary, Jing Yu was terrified by this incident. He felt that being in the court meant that there would be constant deaths around him. Those who died today might be his accomplices, and those who died tomorrow would be his cronies, especially In this gradually declining Great Zhou, life is even more difficult.

Especially for a person like him who is not suitable for dealing with the imperial court at all, if he stays, he may be cheated to death someday!
Anyway, now that Lin Chengqing is dead, no one will murder Xu Ruyi again.

Then he should hurry up and run for his life!
As for Xu Ruyi's new son-in-law, it's the same to help her find him when he arrives in the south of the Yangtze River.

The main reason is that Jing Yu is now under the shadow of Lin Chengqing's murder, so that this night, Jing Yu suffered from insomnia again.

Fortunately, Xu Ruyi noticed that Jing Yu hadn't fallen asleep tonight, so she asked, "What's the matter, Mr. Insomnia?"

"Ang..." Jing Yu thought, since he had already decided to leave, he might as well speak out, "Princess, I don't think this environment is suitable for me."

"Are you frightened by what happened to Lin Chengqing?"

Jing Yu nodded and looked at Xu Ruyi sincerely.

He suddenly began to expect that Xu Ruyi would understand what was on his mind and take the initiative to send him a message to let him go.

He doesn't like the Hou Mansion, the court, and the capital.

He just wanted to stay away from the hustle and bustle and find a place to live a carefree life counting money all day long.

He has no big ambitions and a small structure, all he wants to do is to be a layman.

But the current environment was too depressing and terrifying for him.

But Xu Ruyi didn't say anything, she didn't want to reveal to Jing Yu about Lin Chengqing's murder, and the people involved in it couldn't be clear to him in a few words.

It now appears that not to say is a wise choice.

This incident alone has already scared this ignorant little guy quite a bit.

"If you can't sleep, get up and eat something delicious! I told the kitchen that no matter what happens, I will insist on making dessert for you every day, so that when you get hungry, there will be delicious desserts to eat in the kitchen."
