Poisonous girl to marry

Chapter 238
Although the assassin failed to catch him, the British Duke took the opportunity to arrest many Qingliu who criticized him on weekdays. Many students in the market who came from humble backgrounds but were full of enthusiasm for serving the country and dared to speak out were also arrested.

After arresting people, the British Duke was not in a hurry to interrogate them, nor to convict anyone. Except for a very few people who had hated them for a long time and must be eliminated immediately, the rest were locked up.

The British public naturally doesn’t care about the life and death of the prisoners, and the jailers are afraid of the British public. Those who are sent naturally dare not treat the normal prisoners. There are three quilts in one bed, one meal a day, and the brazier is not burning frequently. It was severe winter, and people died of cold and disease every day in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. What's more, because of fighting for a quilt or a dry bed, even the sage books learned for many years were thrown behind their necks.

Qingliu and the Qingliu hadn't enjoyed the disability of the British Duke for a few days, but quite a few of his subordinates were involved, so it was a loss for both sides.

Although Jiang Xuewen was forced to serve as a government officer and live in another courtyard bestowed by the emperor, he no longer intervened in the affairs of the court, but after hearing the news, he still got sores in his mouth and his throat was red and swollen, and finally fell ill.

When the servants from the other courtyard went back and forth, Huo Shijiu was cutting the window grilles with Jiang Wu.Cao Yu glanced at the two crooked and hollowed-out flowers and blessings on the Linghua lattice window pasted with Korean Ming paper, and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"

"Back to Mr. Cao, Mr. Jiang is sick."

"Have you invited the doctor?"

"I invited you yesterday, but Mr. Jiang was in a hurry. During this period of time, the depression persisted. The doctor prescribed some decoctions and medicines. He said that the patient should adjust his mood first. Open the knot, and the patient will be relieved." It will be fine."

Cao Yu twitched the corners of his lips mockingly: "Unlock the knot? The only way is to let time go back to the past, before he did those things."

The servant who answered lowered his head, not knowing how to reply.

Cao Yu glanced at the window again.There is another little pig with a crooked mouth and missing ears.

I really can't bear to disturb their reunion time, although those two window grille-cutting skills are really wasting the big red paper.

There was another cheerful and soft laughter from a woman in the room, and the man said something in a low voice.

After all, the servant who came to pass the message couldn't hold his breath. He thought that the father was sick and suffering, but the daughter was very happy, and couldn't help raising his voice: "Mr. That's the idea, I'll just wait..."

Cao Yu's sharp eyes swallowed the servant's words before he finished speaking, and after the laughter in the room subsided, Mr. Cao's appearance really wished he could tear him up immediately.
The boy couldn't help swallowing his saliva in regret.

The warm curtain was picked up by the maid, and Jiang Wu, wearing a magenta sable velvet collar, walked over frowning, saw Cao Yu smiling, and asked the servant: "What do you think Mr. Jiang is?"

The servant hurriedly knelt down to salute, and explained Jiang Xuewen's condition, then lowered his head and said, "Madam, please tell me, what should Mr. Jiang do?"

Jiang Wu turned around and looked at Huo Shijiu who had followed her out.

Huo Shijiu said: "For the time being, there is no need for an imperial physician for the Duke of Zuo and Zuo. Later, someone will hand over my post to invite a good imperial physician to show my father-in-law."

"Yeah." Jiang Wu's eyes and lips were drawn into a straight line.

The boy got the instruction, hurriedly bowed and retreated.

Cao Yu really wanted to say, "Go ahead and cut the window grilles", but it depends on how you feel when you play around, so he walked away helplessly.

Huo Shijiu took Jiang Wu back to the house, grabbed the scraps of red paper on the light green brocade mattress by the window and threw them into the dustpan, and pressed Jiang Wu to let her sit down: "Don't worry, father-in-law won't Something happened."

"I'm not worried, the scourge will last for thousands of years, what will happen to him?"

Pretending to be indifferent, but still couldn't help thinking about it in his heart, Huo Shijiu sighed softly and hugged her into his arms, but he didn't know what to do to make her feel better.

"Would you like to see him?"

"He probably still thinks that the things he did are nothing. Those who are his own children should wash their necks and let him slaughter them. I won't go. If I go, he will be more proud."

"But you worry about him."

"He is devoid of humanity, but I don't, that's why I can't control myself. I can't control my heart, but at least I can control my body, right? You don't need to persuade me, I will definitely not go back."

"Okay, okay, if you don't want to go, do you want me to accompany you to cut the window grilles?"

When mentioning the window grilles, Jiang Wu's mood improved a lot. Today she was on a whim, and wanted to find a girl or daughter-in-law who was good at cutting window grilles to teach her two tricks, but Huo Shijiu actually put down the serious business in his hands and patted his chest. Volunteered to say he was best at this.

Jiang Wu only thinks that he is such a great talent, so she must really know how to say this.

Unexpectedly, his level of window grille cutting is not much higher than hers.They tossed and tossed for a long time and destroyed a lot of paper before cutting out the three unsatisfactory ones that were pasted.

"It's still a small loss of seven catties." Jiang Wu looked at the window, and the warm sunlight came in from the courtyard, and the red window grilles looked very festive in the white light, "If he is older and understands something, he knows that his parents are so skilled. Don’t laugh out loud.”

"He dares." Huo Shijiu's tone was very similar to Huo Dashuan: "I am his father."

Huo Shijiu's depressed heart unfolded a lot, and Jiang Wu's smile became lively. Huo Shijiu breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered someone to hand over a name card to invite the imperial doctor to see Jiang Xuewen, and then pulled Jiang Wu to continue cutting the window grilles .

Not long after, Yuqiao under the corridor replied: "My wife has arrived."

"It's my mother?" Jiang Wu put down the scissors, left Huo Shijiu's arms, took off her shoes and went out to meet her. When she reached the Duobao Pavilion, she saw that Tang and Jiang Jiao had already entered the door.

"Mother, fourth younger sister." Jiang Wu smiled and helped Tang's other arm.

Huo Shijiu had already put on his shoes, stood up and saluted: "Mother-in-law." He nodded gently to Jiang Jiao.

Jiang's tender and delicate face immediately flew up to Hongxia, and she quickly glanced at Huo Shijiu shyly and timidly, then lowered her head: "Third brother-in-law."

Jiang Wu and Jiang Jiao helped Tang to sit down, Bingsong and Tingyu brought hot tea and snacks in due course, and quickly put away the red paper scraps and scissors on the table.

As soon as Tang entered the door, he saw the three crooked window grilles, and saw the happy appearance of Jiang Wu standing beside Huo Shijiu, and sighed: "Sister Wu, I heard that your father sick."

The smile on Jiang Wu's face faded, "How did Mother know?"

"When I first came here, I heard that Lord Hou ordered someone to send a post to ask the imperial physician to treat your father."

Tang's worries were all written in his eyes, his brows were tightly knit, and deep lines were squeezed between his brows.

Jiang Wu knew that Tang's life in the Huo family was not happy.

Even if the Huo family doesn't lack her in everything, and the servants treat her with all respect, but this is not her home after all, and she always feels like clinging to her son-in-law when she lives here.What's more, Jiang Xuewen does things like that.

She wanted to leave, but she was afraid that Jiang Jiao would suffer with her.

I am worried about Jiang Xuewen, but I can't understand his actions.

A person's heart is torn in two, Tang is really tormented.

Sitting next to Tang, Jiang Wu said: "Mother, there is an imperial doctor at Father's side, and the servants are all arranged by Ah Ying. They will definitely do their best to help Father recover. Don't worry about it."

"I know. He has what he has today, and it should be his own fault." Tang took Jiang Wu's hand, and there were calluses on her palm, presumably because of years of martial arts training. Her daughter worked so hard, but it's not all that. Forced by old things?

As long as she sees Jiang Wu and Jiang Yan, she will think of Jiang Xuewen's attempt to poison her daughter in order to prevent Jiang Yan from being the daughter-in-law of the Huo family, her son who has gone far away, and the night when they were in Jinzhou when the fire was full of swords and swords.

"The things he did are not worthy of being a human being? He is not even worthy of being a human being, let alone being a father." As if he had made up his mind, Tang stood up and said, "Let's ignore him, and you don't even need to visit him. , let him fend for himself. Go ahead, mother will go back first."

"Mother..." Jiang Wu worriedly looked at Tang's stiff back.

Jiang Jiao bit her lip, followed Tang's arm, and asked probingly: "Mother really doesn't care about dad anymore? Don't you care about dad anymore?"

"Sister Jiao!" Tang scolded, "Your child doesn't understand anything, so don't talk nonsense. What do you mean I don't care about him? How long has he ever cared about his family members!"

"But father was also wholeheartedly for the imperial court."

"For the court?" Tang sneered: "Over the years, what your father did was only for his good reputation as a famous official. If he had thought about his family a little bit, nothing would have happened today."

"But Mother is clearly worried about Dad! If you don't worry about Dad, why are you crying secretly? You fell out with Dad because of your sisters, and now you are also worried about your sisters who are unwilling to reconcile with Dad, but why are you Don't you want to miss me?"

Jiang Jiao's face was flushed with excitement, and there were tears in her eyes, "Girls from other families have both parents, but I live with my mother in my brother-in-law's house. What is this called? We don't have a home."

"Home? Now you follow me, wherever I am is your home!"

"That's not true, we are living under the fence now! Our home was burned down by the third sister!"

Jiang Jiao's tears finally fell, and she said aggrievedly: "I just want father and mother to be good. Even if father and mother reconcile, can't they really be reconciled as before? If you have no feelings for each other, I will You will never say such things, but you both clearly care about each other. Since mother is worried about father, why don't you go to see him? Why don't you reconcile with father? Could it be that just because the third sister-in-law and father are enemies, you are going to favor the third sister This way!"

Tang, Jiang Yan, and Jiang Wu all tacitly agreed not to tell Jiang Jiao the truth of the matter, they all pity that she is still young and should live a carefree life instead of worrying about family affairs.

But it was precisely because she didn't know that there were so many grievances and misunderstandings today.
